Bob and Kaido walked at a very slow pace, afraid that the few people behind them might not keep up.
From the clothing store, they walked all the way to a dimly lit area of the street, where the two finally stopped.
Ahead, under the faint light of the moon, they could vaguely see eight men holding machetes, blocking their path about five meters away.
Seeing those eight men finally appear, a faint smile curved Bob lips.
"Hahaha! I wonder where you two are headed!"
The leader, holding a large machete, sneered as he saw the two come to a halt.
"We're here to send you on your way. Would you like to go first?" Bob said calmly,
"Hmph! You won't escape today!"
The man with the machete, hearing Bob words, turned grim, losing all pretense of amusement.
At that moment, a man in green robes stepped forward from the crowd, looking at Bob and Kaido with a cold smile.
"You don't even understand the principle of not flaunting your wealth. Don't blame us for targeting you!"
Bob wasn't surprised by the appearance of the man in green. It was something he could have guessed with his eyes closed.
"Hand over the money quietly, and we'll make it quick for you!"
The man with the machete, now completely out of patience, shouted as if he had already won.
"Kaido, these small fries are all yours. Remember to leave them alive!"
Bob expression, hidden behind his mask, was playful as he spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Kaido clenched his fists and smiled.
"Got it!"
The leader, realizing that the other side wasn't going to surrender, was furious. He waved his hand behind him and shouted,
"Damn it, they're asking for it! Brothers, attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the six henchmen behind him, armed with weapons, charged forward.
In the next moment, they lunged at Kaido, Seeing this, Kaido slowly raised his arm.
"Boom!"
A sound rang out.
In the blink of an eye, the man at the front had his neck snapped by Kaido, his body collapsing to the ground with a thud.
The weapon in his hand was completely deformed, and the man eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.
He couldn't understand how Kaido's seemingly gentle strike could have such devastating power.
The scene happened so quickly that the others hadn't even reacted yet.
By the time they realized something was wrong, Kaido was already in front of them.
Instantly, they were filled with terror.
They couldn't comprehend how someone so large could move so fast.
But by the time they sensed the danger, Kaido was already in motion.
In the next moment, Kaido palm came down on one of them, as effortlessly as smashing a cucumber. With each strike, another man fell.
Even when they tried to block with their weapons, it made no difference. Under the immense force, even the weapons were shattered into pieces.
Soon, the six men who had charged forward fell like dominoes, one after another, under the horrified gaze of their leader.
Within seconds, all of them were dead on the spot.
The leader, witnessing this, was utterly shocked. Beads of sweat covered his forehead as he realized they had encountered a truly formidable opponent!
He had anticipated that Kaido would be a tough opponent, requiring some time to deal with.
But the man hadn't expected him to be this formidable—Kaido could snap a machete with his bare hands, and the entire process seemed effortless, as if the leader hadn't exerted his full strength.
At this moment, only one thought occupied the man's mind.
'Run! This opponent was on a completely different level.'
But just as the man was about to bolt, Kaido gaze locked onto him.
Feeling the ferocity in that gaze, the man felt as if he had been targeted by a monstrous beast, and all thoughts of escape vanished instantly.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! It was all this man doing! He's the one who sent us here!"
"He's the mastermind behind this! It's all his fault!"
Fear had completely taken over the man heart, leaving no room for resistance or escape.
He pointed at the man in green robes beside him, his face filled with terror.
The man in green robes, meanwhile, paled in shock. He hadn't expected that, in this critical moment, his accomplice wouldnt think of running but instead try to shift the blame.
Run? Without hesitation, the man in green robes turned and sprinted away.
However, in the next second, his steps came to an abrupt halt.
The man in green robes clutched his neck, turning his head in stunned disbelief, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
As his body collapsed, blood seeped through the fingers clutching his neck, quickly staining his entire hand crimson.
"Dead!"
The man in green robes' body hit the ground with a dull thud.
"Hahaha! Thought you could run? You're dead meat!"
The man wielding the machete was filled with rage. As he spoke, he slashed at the corpse once more.
If it hadn't been for the man in green robes coming to report, he wouldn't have found himself in this situation—not only losing several of his men but now also facing a threat to his own life.
"I've already taken care of the mastermind. Can I be spared?"
The man gripped his machete tightly, blood dripping from the blade and pooling at the tip before falling to the ground.
The moment the man in green robes had tried to flee, the machete-wielding man had swung his weapon, striking a fatal blow.
He looked at Kaido and Bob, his face pleading for mercy.
Seeing this, Bob calmly gazed at him and slowly spoke,
"In this red-light district, which places do you think is the most interesting?"
Hearing Bob question, the man was momentarily stunned, seemingly caught off guard by such a question from the masked man.
But his hesitation lasted only a moment. He knew he couldn't afford to delay.
"Guren Kabukicho!"
"Guren Kabukicho, Guren? Hmm, why does that name sound familiar?"
After getting the answer he wanted, Bob furrowed his brow, murmuring to himself.
The name seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.
Seeing that Bob had gotten the answer he sought, the man was about to plead for mercy again, but before he could speak—
The next moment.
Kaido's palm slowly loomed in his vision.
"Crack!"
The sound of a neck snapping echoed, and the man collapsed to the ground.
Eight men, none spared.
Seeing that everyone had been dealt with, Bob straightened his clothes.
"Let's go."
In the night, the figures of the two grew longer and longer under the moonlight until they disappeared from sight.
