“Halt!”
Qianglong Hei appeared in front of the black shadow, who stopped. A strange person wearing a black cloak emerged.
“It’s you! No mistake!”
Qianglong Hei drew his pistol, firing as he charged towards the strange person.
“Another person from the Dead Leader Army?!”
Amy Jie Yue, watching their fight, asked Huangfu Ye.
“Yes, it’s Wang Ling Dao Lun Bu, a member of the Dead Leader Army.”
“You know him?”
“He has some past grudges with Ian (Qianglong Hei).”
“Past grudges?”
Huangfu Ye nodded. “Yes, he is an enemy. I can’t remember the specific details.”
He had been watching this drama for a while now, and he couldn’t remember everything. He only remembered the gist of it.
Qianglong Hei and Wang Ling Dao Lun Bu fought for dozens of rounds. Wang Ling Dao Lun Bu found an opportunity and slipped away.
Qianglong Hei stomped his foot in anger, turned and left, quickly disappearing from their sight.
“Amy, let’s go to the Strong Dragon Warrior’s base.”
After seeing Qianglong Hei disappear, Huangfu Ye suddenly said.
“Huh? Why go there?”
“To catch a thief.”
“A thief?” Amy Jie Yue was confused. “You mean Wang Ling Dao Lun Bu will go to the base to steal something? That’s impossible, right?”
“You’ll know when you get there. Hurry up, he’ll run away if we’re too late.”
“Okay…”
Strong Dragon Warrior Base.
As soon as Huangfu Ye and Amy Jie Yue arrived, they saw a person inside the base.
The person was Ian.
“Ian? Why are you here?” Amy Jie Yue asked in surprise.
Ian’s eyes darted around. “I am Qianglong Hei. This is the Strong Dragon Warrior base. Why can’t I be here?”
He tried to bypass them and leave, but Huangfu Ye stopped him with his hand.
“Didn’t you say you don’t need companions? But stealing from the Strong Dragon Warrior’s base… that’s not good, right?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Don’t stop me. I’m leaving.”
Ian forcibly bypassed Huangfu Ye, walked to the base’s teleportation array, and vanished into the base.
“What did he steal?” Amy Jie Yue asked.
Huangfu Ye smiled faintly. “I don’t know. It should be a Beast Battery.”
He couldn’t remember all the details, of course.
“Beast Battery?”
Amy Jie Yue went to the rack where the Beast Batteries were stored. There were many Beast Batteries left on the rack. She didn’t know if any were missing.
At that moment, Xian Shen Solin suddenly appeared. “Oh, isn’t this Ye and Amy? What brings you here?”
“You’re just in time, Solin. Check which Beast Battery is missing.”
“Oh? What’s going on?”
Xian Shen Solin asked as he checked.
While he was inspecting, Amy Jie Yue briefly explained the situation.
“So that’s what happened. Ian took the Beast Battery for the Kanros Sniper. That’s the Guardian’s power.”
Xian Shen Solin continued. “Ian can’t use that power now. If he forcibly uses it, not only will he not be able to harm the enemy, but it will also harm himself. Go stop him quickly, or he’ll be in danger.”
Amy Jie Yue complained. “He’ll be in danger, so what? Didn’t he say he doesn’t need companions? Let him deal with it himself.”
Xian Shen Solin shook his head. “He doesn’t need companions, he’s afraid of losing them.”
“You know about him?”
Xian Shen Solin slowly said. “Ian used to research ancient civilizations. He had a friend named Mikobu Shirō, a bounty hunter.”
“A year ago, he and Mikobu Shirō went to a certain country to find the ancient stones. After many twists and turns, they found them, but at the end, people from the Dead Leader Army appeared and took Mikobu Shirō hostage.”
“Ian’s most critical bullet went astray, and he didn’t hit the strange person. His friend, Mikobu Shirō, died in the hands of the strange person.”
“After that incident, Ian became solitary and became like he is now. That’s how it happened. So, quickly go stop him from using the Kanros Sniper’s Beast Battery. Please.”
“So that’s the story,” Amy Jie Yue looked at Huangfu Ye and asked for his opinion. “Ye…”
“Let’s go.”
…
Street.
Qianglong Hei and Wang Ling Dao Lun Bu faced each other. Besides them, there was no one else around.
Ian deactivated his transformation and questioned Wang Ling Dao Lun Bu. “Do you… remember me?”
“It’s you,” Wang Ling Dao Lun Bu remembered him. “Aren’t you the useless one whose aim is off the mark?”
“I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Today, I will avenge Shirō!”
Ian loaded a Beast Battery into his transformation gun.
“Brave.In!”
“Gabricho!”
“Qianglong Transformation!”
“Fire!”
Ian pulled the trigger. An illusory bullet shot out, spun around once, and turned into black mist covering his body, transforming him into the Qianglong Hei warrior.
“This time, you won’t escape!”
Ian roared.
Wang Ling Dao Lun Bu sneered. “You think I’m really afraid of you? If it weren’t for those two others last time, I would have killed you on the spot.”
Wang Ling Dao Lun Bu knew that Huangfu Ye and Amy Jie Yue could also transform, and they were quite strong.
He couldn’t be sure of winning if he fought three against one. That’s why he chose to retreat.
But now, it was one-on-one. Hehe, no need to panic.
“We’ll see who kills who soon enough.”
Ian took out another Beast Battery. This was the Kanros Sniper Beast Battery he stole from the Strong Dragon Warrior’s base!
