My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level.

As he approached, he overheard a few people talking in hushed tones.

"Yoshikawa, are you sure those two women are something you can get?"

"Don't worry, I've inquired. The woman who runs the bakery was married a long time ago. She gets off work around this time every day."

"But I remember she didn't go home alone at night."

"You mean that coffee shop waitress named Yuki? Hey, that woman doesn't have a husband and isn't very bold. If we act tough later, they'll definitely hand over their money obediently."

woman?

bakery?

No men?

Hearing the group's discussion, Shibukawa's eyes flashed with a sharp glint. Clearly, the target of these delinquents' ambush was his mother, Yumi.

"I never expected that she would be targeted by these guys."

Shechuan's expression was rather grim.

He'd been so focused on training and improving his skills lately that he hadn't thought about this at all. If he hadn't started training extra hard recently, he probably wouldn't have discovered these guys' plans.

Thinking of this.

He put down his tennis bag and took out his racket and all five tennis balls.

He can't yet do what Echizen Nanjiro in the original story did—kill a ferocious wild boar with a wooden stick and stones. But with his tennis racket, dealing with these three or five delinquents in front of him is a piece of cake.

Not long after.

Two mature and beautiful women walked towards this side.

One of them was Yumi, and the other woman with short brown hair was Akutsu's mother, whom Shibukawa recognized at a glance.

"stop!"

The two were chatting and laughing when, just as they reached the corner, four or five teenagers with dyed blond hair and cigarettes in their mouths suddenly came out.

The leader held a sharp fruit knife, while the others beside him said menacingly, "Hand over your valuables!"

robbery?

Yumi and Yuki were startled.

Seeing that the other side outnumbered them and that the place was remote and rarely frequented, Yumi probably knew that calling for help would be useless. After thinking for a moment, she put down her bag.

"now it's right."

The blond-haired leader gave a cold laugh.

They were only after money and didn't want to cause any trouble.

only.

Just as the man next to him was about to reach for the bag, a whooshing sound suddenly came. With a thud, a fist that flashed by quickly knocked the man to the ground.

"Who goes there...?"

Before the remaining people could react, the figure struck again, taking down two more people with lightning speed. The speed and ferocity of the punches left Yumi and Yuki dumbfounded.

"A...Akuzu?"

At this time.

They then realized that the person who had suddenly appeared to save them was none other than Yuki's son, Akutsu Jin.

Damn it!

After seeing his underlings being quickly dealt with, the leader, a blond-haired man, became emboldened and, with a vicious look on his face, raised a fruit knife, about to stab Akutsu in the back.

"Danger!"

The two women gasped in surprise.

A cold glint flashed in Akutsu's eyes.

This guy in front of him was even more ruthless than he had imagined; he wasn't your average thug. While he wasn't afraid of these guys, the other was wielding a sharp weapon, and it wouldn't be good if the two people next to him got hurt.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

But just as Akutsu was pondering how to distract the other party without affecting the two women, a loud whooshing sound suddenly echoed through the dark alleyway.

boom!

Suddenly.

A tennis ball hit the blond-haired man's right hand, which was holding a knife. He screamed in pain and dropped the knife.

boom!

Immediately afterwards, the second ball arrived, hitting the opponent directly in the abdomen. The intense feeling of suffocation almost brought tears to the blond-haired man's eyes.

boom!

next moment.

The third ball has arrived.

It hit the blond-haired man directly on the head, and the latter immediately rolled his eyes back and collapsed to the ground with a thud, unconscious.

"This is... a tennis ball?!"

Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in Akutsu's eyes.

He never expected that something he usually looked down upon could have such a vicious effect.

Swish!

Then, as if he had just thought of something, he suddenly looked up and gazed into the depths of the alley.

A tall, upright figure slowly emerged from that place.

"You are... wait!"

Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Akutsu's pupils contracted slightly, and she instinctively exclaimed, "It's you?!"

Chapter 60 Shibukawa's Background, Akutsu's Choice

"Ah, Ren."

In the alley, Yuki nervously grabbed Akutsu's arm, hiding half of her body behind him.

She was also frightened.

Once upon a time, as a fiery and rebellious young woman, she would never have been affected by such things. But the commotion just now was truly terrifying.

If she hadn't seen the tennis ball roll to her feet with her own eyes, she would have even suspected that someone had fired a shot.

The fact that the blond-haired man with the knife was killed in the blink of an eye and lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, made the atmosphere at the scene even more frightening.

"Wait, wait a minute."

At that moment, Yumi, who was standing next to Yuki, also seemed to have noticed something, and an incredulous look flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Little...Little Xin?!"

Yumi spoke, her voice trembling.

Despite the dim lighting, the boy who walked out was a far cry from her son, whose long hair covered his eyes and who had little presence.

But the blood ties between mother and child made her instantly recognize that familiar feeling in the other person.

"Ah."

Shibukawa nodded and greeted the group as he walked up to them.

"That's really Ashin!!"

Yuuki's eyes widened, and she exclaimed excitedly, "How come you've changed so much in just a few months? You're so handsome!!!"

Shechuan's mother is very beautiful.

His father was a famous handsome man in the area more than a decade ago; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to abduct his mother and elope with her.

As the son of the two, Shechuan himself was also very handsome. However, before he transmigrated, he was timid and had low self-esteem, so he didn't want to be the center of attention.

Over time, he grew out long bangs, which were a major turn-off for his looks. With most of his facial features covered and his timid personality, even if Takuya Kimura came along, he wouldn't look like he was 'handsome' at all.

"Really you?"

A look of shock flashed across Akutsu's eyes.

He remembered clearly that just over two months ago, he had saved the other person in Yamabuki. At that time, although Shibukawa's image had changed somewhat, he was still the kind of person who didn't have much of a presence.

In the blink of an eye, the other person not only became even more handsome and dashing, but also exuded a sharper aura. Even Akutsu felt a sense of pressure emanating from him.

"so."

Akutsu's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "Was that tennis ball you hit just now?"

No wonder he was so surprised.

The three tennis balls that arrived one after another not only blocked the blond-haired man's movements, but also, as if anticipated, accurately hit his hand, abdomen, and head.

Akutsu had never seen such precise ball control before.

Even the genius boy named 'Bai Yu' that he killed back then couldn't have done this much.

Thinking of this, Akutsu's gaze towards Shibukawa became even more meaningful. However, being aloof by nature, he turned and left without looking back after Shibukawa nodded in response.

"I'm sorry, that's just Ah Ren's personality."

Yuki explained to her friend next to her, who smiled and said, "It's okay, I haven't had a chance to thank Aren for getting us out of that predicament."

"Even if you thank him, that kid won't appreciate it."

Knowing her son's personality well, Yuki shook her head, then looked at the handsome boy next to her and smiled, "Shin, come visit Ah-Ren at my house sometime."

“Okay, Aunt Yuki.”

Shechuan smiled and nodded.

Just then, Akutsu's voice rang out from afar: "Hey, old woman, if you don't come over soon, I'm leaving."

"Ah Ren, wait for me!!!"

Yuki shouted exaggeratedly twice, winked at her friend next to her, and then chased after them.

As for the other party's safety, considering Shibukawa's previous behavior, she had no worries.

"Little, little letter."

After her friend left, Yumi spoke, her voice trembling slightly. Even now, she still couldn't quite believe that the boy in front of her was her son.

"It's nothing, people always change."

Shibukawa waved his hand, bent down to pick up the tennis ball, and casually put away the fruit knife at the same time. Although he was not afraid of any attack from his opponent, he still wanted to nip the danger in the bud as much as possible.

"you......"

"Don't rush, let's deal with this first."

Shibukawa stepped forward and lifted the unconscious blond-haired man up with one hand. Under Yumi's astonished gaze, he slapped him several times without hesitation.

The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the alley.

The intense pain jolted Huang Mao awake. The moment he opened his eyes, he met Shechuan's cold, indifferent gaze.

"Who...who are you?"

The blond-haired man was startled, and his voice became much shrill.

"Remember, don't mess with this woman again."

Shibukawa pointed to Yumi beside him, and the blond-haired man's pupils contracted slightly as he recalled what had just happened. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the other man suddenly raise his foot and deliver a vicious knee strike to Shibukawa's abdomen.

"Ah!!!" Yoshikawa

The intense pain caused the blond-haired man to scream in agony.

Tears welled up in his eyes from the pain, and his gaze toward Shechuan suddenly turned one of awe.

"Did you remember?"

"I've got it... I've got it..."
