Five people are hiding here, one of whom used a superpower to reduce his presence and avoid being discovered by the security personnel searching for him.

This is a very distinctive team of superhumans.

The captain was about thirty years old, named Ijo Hima, with blue hair, wearing blue clothes, and had a very ordinary appearance.

Beside him was his deputy, a beautiful woman with short brown hair and cat ears, named Sato Kuki, who was a top-tier C-rank sorcerer in the team.

With an uneasy expression on her face, she spoke.

"Captain, have we found the target yet?"

"Or we should decline this assignment; it's too dangerous."

Sato Kuki tried to dissuade Ijo Hyoka.

This was a private commission from the Kujo Zaibatsu.

Find a lone B-level superhuman among the wealthy tycoons during the summer, preferably a seasoned butler, and kill him!

This is the lesson the head of the Kujo family gave to the Natsumi Zaibatsu—a small, painful lesson.

The nine conglomerates had prepared an immense amount of funds and extraordinary resources, enough for them to live a life of extravagance and debauchery.

Although rumors of a marriage between the Kujo Zaibatsu and the Natsumi Zaibatsu are circulating among those with supernatural abilities, they all tacitly understand why they suddenly received this mission.

Because the affairs between conglomerates are incredibly chaotic, involving various power struggles, open and covert battles, and conflicts of interest, which are beyond their comprehension.

If something strange happens within a conglomerate, then it's not surprising.

This is something that everyone agrees on.

Upon hearing this, Ijo Hyoka slowly exhaled a breath of icy air in the summer sun and said softly.

"Do not worry."

"After this is over, everyone can live a peaceful life from now on."

"I no longer have to toil away hunting strange creatures."

He is a B-level ability user, but he has already reached the limit of his potential at the early stage of B-level, with no room for improvement.

This hard-won opportunity was practically made for him.

Therefore, Ijo Hyoka will never give up easily.

He confirmed again.

"Ku-Xi, do you still have the talisman that the Kujo Zaibatsu gave us?"

Upon hearing this, Sato Kuki took out a strange talisman that was entirely blood red.

It is strange because this talisman cannot be called a talisman at all, because there are no characters drawn by any sorcerer, and the effect of this talisman is unknown.

However, Sato Kuki knew very well.

This talisman was made from Nightmare-level leather, and it has no characters because it is not a talisman at all; it contains a drop of blood from the head of the Kujo family.

Once activated with spell power, it can produce an A-rank normal attack.

This is precisely the source of their confidence in being able to instantly hunt down B-level ability users not far from the entrance of the Summer Mansion.

However, after observing for a long time, he discovered that every senior B-level butler was paired up, making it difficult for them to make a move.

If you kill a regular B-rank butler, the reward from the Kujo Zaibatsu won't be as generous.

There was simply no way they could spend the rest of their lives indulging in debauchery.

The butlers started leaving less and less, and Ijou Hyoka's patience gradually wore thin.

Just when he couldn't sink any deeper.

A butler appeared with a summer-themed chaebol tree logo on his clothes, a logo that proved he was a seasoned butler!

Furthermore, there were no other B-level or C-level individuals in the vicinity of the other party.

There was only one exquisite girl who had no supernatural abilities.

Upon seeing this, Ijo Hyoka's pupils suddenly lit up, and he was invigorated. Lady Luck was indeed on his side.

He immediately spoke up.

"The target has appeared!"

"Everyone, get ready!"

The members' expressions instantly turned serious, ready for battle.

The success or failure of this operation will determine their future.

Failure means being captured and killed by the Xia Conglomerate; success means endless wealth and luxury.

However, they were already living a life of constant danger, hunting the bizarre and dangerous, and this deal, though risky, could yield even greater rewards.

It's worth risking everything for.

Moreover, possessing that talisman containing the power of the Nine Clan Heads' strike, as long as the action is precise, it can definitely kill a B-rank.

Ijou Hyoka's eyes shone brightly.

When they saw Mizuki Shousei get into the black car parked at the entrance, and the elegant young woman get into the back seat, they drove towards the only road in their direction.

He shouted decisively.

"action!"

"Everyone, cover Jiu Xi! We must get that talisman to explode on the B-rank butler!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the team's years of tacit understanding allowed them to begin their operation in perfect unison.

As the black sedan approached the road in front of them.

They leaped from the rooftop, and the supporting ability users began frantically refreshing physical enhancement buffs on Ijou Hyoka and Sato Kuki, their faces gradually turning pale.

Ijo Hyoka clapped his hands together suddenly, and a huge, spear-shaped ice crystal, chilling to the bone, appeared in front of him.

It plummeted straight down, heading towards the black sedan.

The battle is imminent!

The giant spear-shaped ice crystal slammed into the black sedan, about to hit and destroy it.

However, at this moment.

The black sedan suddenly stopped, and a circular barrier resembling tortoise shell green suddenly appeared on its exterior.

The huge spear-shaped ice crystals landed on the barrier without causing the tortoise-shell barrier to shake in the slightest, demonstrating its astonishing defensive power.

But the five of them did not hesitate at all. The huge spear-shaped ice crystal was just a probing attack. They regrouped and rushed toward the black sedan.

Mizuki Shousei also stepped out of the black sedan.

The six of them quickly got into a fight.

Shui Sheng Shoucheng truly deserves the title of the butler with the strongest supernatural defense in the Summer Zaibatsu. Neither ice crystal attacks nor the spellcaster's explosive rune spell can cause him any harm.

This was even after he had partially wrapped the tortoise shell barrier around the car not far away, leaving it to protect the summer flower painting.

As yet another massive ice crystal spear hurtled towards him, Shui Sheng Shoucheng was slightly underestimating it, as this move had been used countless times in the previous battle.

However, he didn't notice.

With his presence diminished, Sato Kuki, relying on his enhanced physical strength, moved with incredible speed, hiding in the shadows of the giant ice crystal spear.

Then, the blood-red talisman was affixed to it, and the activated state was triggered.

Shui Sheng Shou Cheng's disdain led him to merely cover his surface skin with a tortoise shell barrier.

As the two approached, he tried to casually block them away.

Suddenly, a strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air, as if one were in a blood-red hell.

A massive, blood-red hand materialized and slammed down on Shui Sheng Shou Cheng as if it were blotting out the sky.

"Bang!!!"

After half an hour,

News of Natsumi Hanae's kidnapping reached the Natsumi family residence.

……

……

Chapter 42: Chikuri Shin: I've thought of something funny.

"Hanae has been kidnapped?!"

Rin, who was packing his things to leave the Natsume family mansion, suddenly heard this news.

With the wedding date approaching, she had originally planned to leave this time, vowing not to return to the Summer Palace until she reached B-rank, but this news came too suddenly.

This caught her completely off guard.

So, is it more important to improve one's own strength or to rescue one's sister?

If going to rescue her sister wastes a lot of time, then she and her sister will marry into the Kujo Zaibatsu two months later, and she will live a life worse than death.
