"Jiang-san, the management office is that way," said Tomiko after getting off .

"What's with that manor?" asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ while looking at it .

"That's where Chukyo Base's leader lives . It's heavily guarded . Usually, ordinary people are strictly forbidden to even approach it," explained Tomiko .

"Where is the manor?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ asked while looking at that manor .

"Thank you . As for the management office, we don't need to go," said Jiang Lius.h.i.+ with a smile .

Tomiko felt confused as she was unable to understand what Jiang Lius.h.i.+ meant . However, she had not much time to ponder over as in the next moment she witnessed something that almost gave her a heart attack – Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s tour bus suddenly accelerated and dashed toward the manor with thundering engine sounds .  

'Oh! Terrible!' shouted Tomiko in her mind .

After living in the base for such a long period, Tomiko had never seen anyone daring enough to approach the manor without permission, let alone rush toward it so fast .

A large number of black barrels appeared on the manor's fence immediately, all of them simultaneously aiming at the tour bus . Without any warning, the guards opened fire . Intense gunshots resounded, and Tomiko hastily evaded, hiding behind her vehicle . The scene that shocked her most was that Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s tour bus was still rus.h.i.+ng to the gate, even though it was under heavy fire .

Soon after, the tour bus collided with the steel reinforced gate and forced it open . Seeing that, Tomiko's mouth formed an O shape, and she was at a loss for words . 'This… Is this a declaration of war against Chukyo Base!?'

The loud sound seemed to shock the people in the manor, and the gunshots came to a stop immediately . Soon, a man in j.a.panese attire came out from the manor . He looked at the tour bus with a gloomy expression . Then, he asked, "Is this the way you knock on the door to someone else's home? It's too rude!"

While he was talking, he was still looking at the car and observing it . He wondered why the tour bus in front of him was still fine after being under heavy fire . There was not even a trace of a bullet on it . He also saw the steel gate on the ground and that it had actually caved in . Not even a cannonball could force open the gate, but the tour bus had done so . He didn't believe when he first received the report, but after witnessing it, he was now convinced . In his mind, such an earth-shattering vehicle should belong to his manor .

'Nakamurdono…' Upon seeing the man, Tomiko's heart sank .

Nakamura was a famous swordsman in the base . After doomsday, his swordsmans.h.i.+p improved by leaps and bounds . He could cut down flying bullets or heavy steel plates with ease . Tomiko thought it was impossible for the s.h.i.+ Ying Squad to run away now that Nakamura made his appearance .

"Tomiko, let's leave quickly! If someone finds that we were the ones that led them here, it'll be our doom," said one of Tomiko's members nervously .

Tomiko was aware that they should leave as soon as possible, but after looking at the tour bus, she felt hesitant .

'Alas, they may flee…' thought Tomiko, but she knew the possibility was quite small . She firmly believed they shouldn't forsake the s.h.i.+ Ying Squad . However, she had to be responsible for her teammates, and thus, they had to leave .  

"If we didn't do so, how could we have met you so quickly? That's the best approach to talk to you directly without wasting any time," answered Jiang Zhuying, annoying Nakamura in the process .

"Little girl, are you the car's owner?" he asked coldly .

"Are you the manor's boss? Tell your boss to come here and talk with us," replied Jiang Zhuying unceremoniously . She may not be the car's owner, but she was the owner's little sister .

"Our boss? You don't have the right to talk with our boss . " Nakamura was fuming in anger . He raised his hand in the air, signaling to his subordinates, and then said, "Since you're already here, you can only dream about leaving . As for which power you belong to, I will choose a patient fellow to interrogate you . "

Upon receiving their orders, hundreds of people appeared in the various buildings of the manor, and black barrels were all aimed at Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s tour bus . At the same time, more than a dozen combatants suddenly appeared around the tour bus like ghosts, throwing many sharp objects in front and behind of the tour bus' tires . They also used daggers to cut the tires .

Nakamura grinned evilly . In his mind, as long as they destroyed the tires, the tour bus would be rendered useless . Nakamura was not in a hurry to kill them as he wanted them to slowly fall in despair first .

Unexpectedly, at that moment, dazzling electric light shot out of the tour bus . The combatants had no time to react, and they were enshrouded by the horrifying electric current . Almost unable to struggle, they let out anguished screams and one by one they were burned alive .

"You're courting death!" Nakamura was furious and forgot his previous thoughts . He now wanted to kill them all on the spot . He pulled out his katana from the sheath attached to his waist, emitting a dazzling light .

Just then, Nakamura spotted a small barrel stretching out of the tour bus . "What's that?" he shouted and jumped . Although he had never seen such a small barrel before, he clearly had a foreboding feeling about it . However, even if that thing launched a rocket, Nakamura was confident that he could cut it in two . As a result, he didn't dodge, but instead shouted while raising his katana, "Cut!"

However, in the next instant, horror replaced the confident look on Nakamura's face as a destructive airstream was shot at him . Nakamura and his katana had no way to resist the airstream, which in turn sent him flying like a rag all the way to the wall of one of the buildings and opening a huge hole on it . Nakamura crashed heavily on the ground, and as for his sword, or what remained of it, it was still flying in the air . His body was covered in blood, while his internal organs were pulverized . Unfortunately for him, he was not dead yet . His eyes betrayed the horror he felt .

Nakamura opened his mouth, seemingly trying to say something, but only black blood mixed with internal organs gashed out of it . The manor fell in a strange silence . The gunmen, who had not the time to shoot, were petrified .

At this time, the tour bus started moving slowly . Its huge tires crashed the sharp objects beneath it, leaving squeaky sounds . The tires didn't receive the slightest damage .  

The people in the manor felt cold sweat drenching their backs . They never expected that the tour bus would be so powerful neither that it was equipped with an air cannon . Although he was one step away from death because he underestimated the s.h.i.+ Ying Squad, it also proved how terrifying the tour bus was .

"I came here to find Xue Sha and Shen Kui . Tell them to get out!" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ broke the silence .

"Shen Kui? Xue Sha?" Actually, only a few people in the manor knew the status of the two mysterious people . It was the first time for them to face such an embarra.s.sing situation . Everyone remained silent .

Even so, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was sure that the two fellows would soon make their appearance . Sure enough, not long after making his demand, a large number of people came from behind the manor . The person in the lead was a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman . He looked at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ with eagle-like eyes intensely .  

"Xue Sha!" When Ye Yuekong saw him, her eyes betrayed her hatred for him .

Surprised, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looked at Xue Sha and asked, "This person is Xue Sha?"

"You should be Jiang Lius.h.i.+, right?" asked Xue Sha . "It's only you? Where is Tsukiyomi?"

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ sneered . "Why bother asking for the obvious?" he responded with a question .

His answered caused Xue Sha's expression to change . He was looked bewildered and indignant, but he quickly calmed down . "I have to admit it, you're very powerful . You even managed to kill Tsukuyomi . But do you know that you destroyed every chance of having a future? As soon as we unite the world, you will lose everything, be it rights, friends or family!"

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ interrupted him directly, "Stop!" He heard similar ridiculous speeches from Genesis' members plenty of times now, and they had started to get on his nerves . As for the threats, he didn't care about them at all . The most fundamental things, which Sta.r.s.eed needed, were in the hands of Genesis' members .

Suddenly, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ thought of something . "Are you here to delay for time? Why? Help Shen Kui escape?" he asked .  

Xue Sha smiled coldly and only said one word, "Battle!"
