The gloomy sky, combined with the light drizzle, made one's mood particularly uncomfortable.
Kaede was sitting there, and Koujo Shizuka was recounting recent events beside her. Cold light flashed continuously in Kaede's eyes.
Clearly, Kaede was also a bit angry about Syura's actions.
However, Syura was the Minister's son, and their plan had almost reached the end. If they killed Syura at this moment, it might cause some complications...
For a moment, Kaede hesitated. How exactly should she deal with that Syura?
At this moment, a small figure pushed open the door.
"Hmm?" Kaede looked up and saw Little Loli's figure. Little Loli's clothes were already soaked through, and it was impossible to tell whether the liquid on her face was tears or rain.
Kaede's eyes narrowed. She rushed over, gathered Little Loli into her arms, and returned inside the house.
"Kaede, save Mommy." Little Loli grabbed Kaede's clothes and cried out.
"What happened?" Kaede asked. She could roughly guess what had happened, but neither she nor Boros had expected Syura's actions to be so swift, as if he were a starving ghost reincarnated, which was enough to prove how intense his depraved tastes were.
"I, I was eating with Mommy, and then the front door was banged on very loudly, and then Mommy told me to come find Kaede," Little Loli said.
"Then, shall we go save your mommy now?" Although she still hadn't thought about how to deal with Syura, the matter at hand had to be prioritized.
"Mm-hmm!" Little Loli nodded her little head.
"Shizuka, I'll go over there and take a look first." After saying that, Kaede walked out of the house.
"Understood, General." Koujo Shizuka smiled with a hint of anticipation in her eyes. Perhaps this time, the General would be able to recover.
"Little Mei, show me the way." After leaving the house, Kaede asked Little Loli for the route, and then her figure shot toward the destination like a stream of light.
Very quickly, Kaede arrived at the destination. After all, it hadn't taken Little Loli much time to run over, and Kaede needed even less time.
However, Kaede stood in the shadows and saw Tatsumi and the others standing in front of Boros's house in a standoff with several people. Seeing that Boros and Mio were fine, Kaede breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't in a rush to go out, but instead chose to stay in the shadows and watch the development of the situation in the field.
Little Loli also saw that her parents were fine. She originally wanted to shout, but Kaede covered her mouth. She only saw Kaede staring at her, "Don't speak now. We'll give your parents a surprise in a moment."
"Mm-hmm." Little Loli nodded, thinking about how she could give her parents a surprise.
"I'm telling you, this matter isn't over! Don't think that just because you punched me, you can easily settle this!" Syura was shouting over there. Even though the other side had more people, what did he have to fear? Would they dare to touch him?
"You!" Tatsumi gritted his teeth and looked at Syura.
"You what? Wasn't that punch just now very fierce? Why don't you give me another one!" Syura looked at Tatsumi and smiled viciously.
"Bring it on!" Tatsumi gritted his teeth and thought about throwing a punch.
However, at this moment, Nahash grabbed Tatsumi's fist, and the sword in the arms of Ieyasu behind Syura moved slightly before becoming quiet again.
"Don't be impulsive," Nahash said with a frown.
"But!" Tatsumi gritted his teeth and finally retreated somewhat unwillingly.
"Come on? Too scared now, aren't you!" Syura laughed loudly there.
"How do you want to resolve this?" Nahash looked at Syura, the coldness in his eyes not hidden at all.
"How to resolve it?" Syura rubbed his chin, then his gaze swept over the Jaegers one by one. It lingered on Mio for a moment at first, causing Mio to hide directly behind Boros. However, Syura's gaze didn't stay on Mio for too long and finally landed on Kurome, revealing a lecherous smile.
"Hmm, a member of the Jaegers, and also that General's younger sister. This identity seems even more worth toying with, doesn't it?" Syura narrowed his eyes and pointed his finger at Kurome. "As long as you hand that person over to me, this matter will be wiped clean."
"What did you say!" Wave and Tatsumi roared at the same time, glaring at Syura.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with my request? Or are you saying that my words don't carry any weight here?" Syura licked his lips, confident in his own status, and was not afraid of the group of people in front of him at all.
Kurome looked at Syura, her eyes very cold. If it weren't for fear of causing trouble for her sister, she would have already gone up and slashed this beast in human skin with one strike.
Nahash looked at Syura with a strange expression. He was also a bit annoyed by Syura's request, but on second thought, why was this Syura in front of him courting death so much? Given the personality of their General, she probably wouldn't care at all about him being the Minister's son when it came to the issue of her younger sister...
Kaede, hiding in the shadows, narrowed her eyes, which were filled with coldness. However, she was still a bit hesitant.
However, this hesitation wasn't about whether or not to kill Syura; Syura was already on her must-kill list. What Kaede was hesitating about was whether to kill Syura right now.
If she killed Syura right now, the repercussions would probably be significant, as he was, after all, the Minister's son.
"Truly... disgraceful." Suddenly, a familiar voice came to Kaede's ears. Kaede suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Who?" But before Kaede could ask, she felt a blur before her eyes. When her vision recovered, she saw that the place she was in had completely changed.
Beneath her feet was a sea of blood, and she was standing steadily on this sea of blood.
This wasn't what shocked Kaede the most. What shocked Kaede the most was that standing opposite her was another version of herself.
At this moment, Kaede met the gaze of her other self directly, and only then did she discover that although they were exactly the same, the person opposite her had blood-red Dragon Pupils.
"Who are you?" Kaede narrowed her eyes and looked at the Dragon King with some wariness.
"Who am I?" The Dragon King also narrowed her eyes, seemingly finding the question a bit laughable. Then, the Dragon King looked at Kaede, walked over, and did not answer Kaede's question.
Kaede subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she found that she couldn't move at all and could only watch the Dragon King approach.
The Dragon King walked up to Kaede, curled the corners of her mouth, and reached out to stroke Kaede's face.
"What are you doing?"
"Heh..." Coldness appeared in the Dragon King's eyes as she looked at Kaede. "What exactly are you afraid of?"
"How am I afraid?" Kaede was a bit puzzled.
"Then, what exactly are you concerned about right now?" The Dragon King looked at Kaede with a smirk. "That guy named Syura has even dragged Kurome into this, yet you are still hesitating about whether to kill Syura, and are still thinking about the consequences of killing Syura?"
"Shouldn't I think about it?"
"If it were anyone else, you should." The Dragon King nodded, looking at Kaede with coldness in her eyes. "But for you, you shouldn'!"
The distance between the Dragon King and Kaede suddenly closed. Kaede looked at the Dragon Pupils right in front of her; their noses were almost touching.
At this moment, the Dragon King smiled once again, the corners of her mouth moving slightly.
"Finally, back to that previous question, what... exactly are you afraid of?"
"I am not afraid of anyone." Kaede said directly without hesitation.
"Heh!" The Dragon King raised her hand and stroked Kaede's face, her eyes, her nose, her lips, looking at Kaede's stubborn gaze. "Think about it carefully."
Lowering her hand, the Dragon King turned around.
"Also, you have occupied this body for too long. It is time for me to come out~"
"You!" Suddenly, Kaede opened her eyes wide, seemingly understanding something. "Are you that dragon?"
"A dragon?" The Dragon King's figure seemed to pause for a moment without answering, and Kaede took it as the Dragon King's tacit admission.
An angry look appeared on Kaede's face as she stared at the Dragon King. "I am not using you. Go back!"
"Using me?" Anger also appeared in the Dragon King's eyes. She originally didn't want to pay attention to Kaede anymore, but at this moment, she turned around again and looked at Kaede. "You are really too weak, too weak!"
"What can you do as you are now? Can you stop me? Huh?" The Dragon King looked at Kaede and snorted. "Think about it carefully here!" After speaking, the Dragon King's figure disappeared from here.
When Kaede opened her eyes again, they revealed scarlet Dragon Pupils. Looking at the people in the field, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
