"Of course, this is all voluntary."

Byakuran looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi with a smile, making his hair stand on end.

Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had originally wanted to struggle a bit more, could only give up after seeing Byakuran's gaze.

Well, Bai Lan must have his reasons for doing this.

He's already endured so many days of training, what's one more day?

Although the holiday is over, I still managed to have some fun this morning, so I guess I made a profit.

“Reborn, I’m doing this voluntarily. Please send us into the dream training.”

Sawada Tsunayoshi closed his eyes and shouted loudly, his loud voice startling Basil, who was lying next to him, awake.

Startled, Basil sat bolt upright in bed, staring blankly ahead.

"Lord Sawada!?" He looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi excitedly. This was the person he had been looking for!

"What? Your Highness, are you referring to me?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi hesitated and pointed to himself. For a moment, he wondered if the boy's brain had been damaged.

What era are we living in? How can anyone still address another person as "Your Highness"?

Besides, I don't know this boy at all, so I shouldn't call him that, right?

“Of course, Your Highness Sawada. I am on Lord Iemitsu’s orders to go to Namimori to deliver the Vongola Rings to you.”

Basil quickly took out the Vongola Rings, which contained seven rings in a small box.

"Is this what the Vongola Rings are like?" Sawada Tsunayoshi asked, somewhat surprised to see that the ring was only half-finished.

Well, the Vongola Rings don't seem to be what he imagined.

"Because this is a half-Vongola Ring, the Vongola Ring has been split in two."

These rings are kept separately by the current leader and the external advisors; this is the portion held by our external advisor organization.

Basil smiled at everyone and explained the origin of the Half-Vongola Ring.

Varia openly snatched the half-Vongola Ring from him, revealing his true intentions.

"So that's how it is. How did Basil get so badly injured?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi was still a little confused as to when Basil had come to Namimori, since he had never heard Reborn mention it.

He did recognize the man lying next to Basil; they were the ones who beat him up like this, but he hadn't expected Reborn to send him here.

"The Varia sent men to hunt me down, trying to steal the half-Vongola Rings. Prince Sawada, you must be careful, they..."

Basil, who had originally wanted to warn Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others to be careful of Squalo, caught a glimpse of the person on the hospital bed next to him out of the corner of his eye, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Was he seeing things? Is that Squalo lying next to him? He looks more seriously injured than Squalo.

"What's wrong with them?" Sawada Tsunayoshi had been listening attentively to Basil, and was puzzled when he suddenly stopped talking.

"It's nothing, Your Highness Sawada. What's Squalo doing here?"

Basil was absolutely certain that it was Squalo, who had been chasing him all along, lying right next to him.

“Squalo? Who’s that?” Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at Basil in confusion. He had never heard of this person before.

"Are you stupid? Squalo is the silver-haired guy lying next to him!"

Byakuran rolled his eyes at Sawada Tsunayoshi speechlessly. Besides them, the only other person here was the silver-haired guy whose identity was unknown. Did they even need to guess who Squalo was?

"Haha...you mean him?" Sawada Tsunayoshi scratched his head awkwardly. So this guy was still one of his own?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bagil, we didn't mean to beat him up like that... We thought he was an enemy."

Sawada Tsunayoshi's tone was a little weak; he never expected that this man was one of his own.

Besides, it was Reborn who ordered them to fight. Dino even fought with him back then, so you can't blame them.

"Your Highness Sawada...you mean Squalo was beaten up like this by you?"

Basil stared in shock at Sawada Tsunayoshi and Byakuran. Were they really that powerful?

Squalo is no match for them, so why would they need him to train Prince Sawada's Dying Will Flame?

"Yes, I'm really sorry!" Seeing Basil's reaction, Sawada Tsunayoshi immediately misunderstood his meaning and could only apologize to him again.

"Uh... Your Highness Sawada, you don't need to apologize. I should be thanking you."

Squalo is the assassin hunting me, a member of the Balian.

Basil looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi with a bit of helplessness; if this misunderstanding wasn't explained soon, it would only get worse.

"Ahaha... I see. Well, Mr. Bagir, we have some things to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."

Sawada Tsunayoshi felt extremely embarrassed; the scenario he had imagined was far too absurd.

He said it himself, how could Reborn let him fight his own people!

He couldn't stay here any longer, so he decided to leave first. Reborn would send them into the dream world when he had time.

"Goodbye, Prince Sawada!" Basil said warmly to Sawada Tsunayoshi.

Prince Sawada is truly remarkable as the son of Lord Iemitsu; he is so talented at such a young age.

"Reborn, don't forget about us!"

Before leaving, Byakuran reminded Reborn about training, and he was now even more enthusiastic about it than Reborn was.

"Don't worry, I will definitely meet your request."

Reborn was quite satisfied with Byakuran's ambitious attitude. Tsk, when will Tsuna become as sensible as Byakuran?

"Basil, what happened in Italy?" Reborn's expression turned serious after Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others left.

"Lord Reborn, the Ninth Boss is seriously ill and has disappeared. The headquarters is currently under the control of Lord XANXUS."

Basil immediately informed Reborn of the situation in Italy. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Lord Iemitsu wouldn't have sent him to Namimori.

"Lord Iemitsu guessed that the Ninth Generation Lord might have fallen into a coma."

Lord Xanxus is seizing power, and now the other half of the Vongola Ring has fallen into his hands.

He couldn't quite imagine who XANXUS would care about if the Ninth Generation Lord really wasn't around.

He had very bad thoughts in his mind. No one had seen the Ninth Master recently, and the news of his serious illness came from Varia.

So no one knows whether the Ninth Generation Lord is really seriously ill, and even Lord Iemitsu can't see the Ninth Generation Lord.

All the news came from XANXUS, and nobody knows the truth.

"I understand. You should focus on recovering." Reborn understood the general situation and guessed that the Ninth Boss was likely being held captive by XANXUS.

Others might think XANXUS wouldn't do that, after all, the Ninth is his father.

However, Reborn knew very well that XANXUS was not the Ninth Boss's biological son, but only his adopted son.

The Ninth Generation treated XANXUS like his own son, but XANXUS might not have thought so, otherwise he wouldn't have launched a rebellion eight years ago.

After the "Cradle Incident," he was frozen by the Ninth Boss. Now, it seems that the Varia members have obtained half of the Vongola Rings and thawed him.
