Milea looked at him in shock. “You... should be dead! Didn't Vin shoot you?”Lorenzo just chuckled. “The bulletproof vest saved me. Remember! Kazuto is still watching us. He thinks you killed me.”“I see.” Now, Milea understood. They had all planned it while she was Kazuto's hostage.A few minutes later, Vincent, Lorenzo, Valeria, Nakamura, and Ryuga had gathered in the living room of the Nakamura residence. Meanwhile, Milea was safely in her room. Her uncle had reserved a special room for her.“I don't want Milea to get involved again,” Nakamura said. “Can we do it?”“Of course, Mr Nakamura. I don't want it to happen again either. But, Kazuto already knows everything about my wife. Right now, he must be hunting Milea,” Vincent replied.“Isn't Milea tough enough to be in this team?” Valeria interjected. “I've heard a lot about her, Vin.”Vincent only smiled briefly in response. “She is. A tough woman who I love very much.”“At least you recognise the greatness of your own wife, Vin.”

Ryuga appeared from the shadows, attacking with terrifying speed. Milea raised her arm to parry, but Ryuga's strength was too great. His punch slammed into Milea's chest, sending her flying backwards into an electrical panel.Blue lightning flashed through Milea's body, pain spreading throughout her nervous system. But she couldn't stop now. She had to fight back if she didn't want to be controlled by her cousin, Ryuga.Milea's hand moved to the gun kept at her waist, firing two bullets at Ryuga. Unfortunately, the shots missed. She had expected this to happen. So, she had been vigilant beforehand in dealing with this unexpected situation.DOR! DOR!Ryuga swatted her away with his knife, metal sparks clashing in the air. “You won't be able to conquer me, Milea.”“Really? Have you ever been in a karate or ninja club?” Milea joked.“Listen! I have no intention of killing you, Milea,” Ryuga assured her.Milea looked at him sharply. “Oh yeah? But it looks like you almost did. You've lost

Ryuga and Lorenzo slammed into each other brutally. They were still duelling, seemingly more fiercely in the cramped submarine. There were no distractions, no way out of there. It was really just the two of them, locked in a deadly duel.“Don't fight me little boy!” shouted Lorenzo.“What, you said I was a little boy?” protested Ryuga. “I could kill you if I wanted to. You know that I'm one of the Ryuujin-kai, right?”Lorenzo laughed in response to Ryuga's statement. “Fool!” He lashed out with a flurry of punches at Ryuga.Ryuga parried Lorenzo's attack and retaliated with a knife thrust to the chest. Lorenzo dodged at the last second, but the tip of the knife still managed to tear into the side of his shoulder. Fresh blood flowed from Lorenzo's body.“You're always hunting others, Lorenzo,” Ryuga hissed. “But this time, you'll be our quarry. Give up your game and say goodbye.”Lorenzo grimaced, but he smiled anyway, maintaining his sly image. “Don't act as if you're better than me, R

Without warning, Vincent darted forward. He swatted away the gun in Lorenzo's hand quickly before the man could shoot him, then slammed into his face with a solid punch. Lorenzo was pushed back, but he quickly steadied himself and countered with a kick to Vincent's ribs.The impact was so strong that Vincent staggered, but he didn't care. Vincent advanced again, fighting with a burning fury. His hands and feet moved quickly, every punch and kick aimed at Lorenzo's vital points. However, Lorenzo was not an easy opponent. The Italian mafia man dodged deftly, retaliating with a knife slash that nearly caught Vincent in the neck.A fierce battle erupted in the middle of the dark harbour dock. The rain fell harder and harder, drenching the two men who were fighting it out there. In the distance, the sound of waves crashing against the concrete of the dock, while lights glow on the rippling black water.Then, there was a mechanical noise in the distance. Vincent looked away for a moment, an
