The dark brown, metallic wall fragments were mixed with clusters of bright orange-red flames, flying down in all directions like a meteor shower.

And in the untimely light they created that almost illuminated a dark night, the red-haired demon fox stood there quietly with a smile on his lips.

His complexion was a little pale, but it couldn't hide the breathtaking and burning brilliance in those beautiful emerald-like green eyes that were as translucent as emeralds.

He stood there calmly and quietly, obviously so thin that he seemed to be pushed down, but strangely gave people a strong sense of shock and extreme instability, making people want to retreat involuntarily, unable to One step closer to him.

XANXUS decided to look at such a Tibetan horse for a few seconds, and suddenly said without warning: "Are you also a member of Sawada Tsunayoshi's family?"

"No," Kurama smiled and shook his head, "I'm just a friend of Tsuna."

"Friend?" XANXUS sneered when he heard the words, "Boring."

"Since you are not from the Tsunayoshi Sawada family, let me give you a choice."

He raised his brows as if he felt it was very interesting, and the black-haired man looked down with a palpitating aggression in his eyes: "Little devil, your abilities seem to be very interesting. Do you want to join Balian?"

——As soon as XANXUS said this, not only Kurama and Tsunakichi, but even the Balian members around him were obviously stunned.

Of course they could hear the seriousness in their boss's tone.

But... why?

Should it be said that the strange ability shown by the red-haired boy on the opposite side really aroused the interest of the boss?This is certainly not impossible.

However, although XANXUS is a typical leader who is reckless and self-willed, he has never made his subordinates feel unreliable when it comes to formal decision-making——

XANXUS is not the kind of ignorant boss who invites others at will based on personal preferences.

Silently looking at each other, they really don't know what their BOSS is trying to do, and the Balian all shut their mouths obediently, wisely none of them questioned the BOSS's decision aloud.

But XANXUS didn't care about their reaction either.

He just stared at the red-haired boy below with great interest, waiting patiently for his reply.

At this moment, Zangma felt a little dumbfounded.

Of course he could feel the seriousness of XANXUS.It's just... Kurama really can't figure it out, but it's just blocking the opponent's flame attack. Is it really because of this that he was recruited?

Is XANXUS such a type?

For a moment, countless thoughts turned in Yaohu's mind, but in the end, he shook his head and rejected the other party's "proposal" without hesitation: "Sorry, I'm not interested in joining the mafia..."

"...Ah, yes. What a pity."

Even though he said this, XANXUS didn't show any trace of regret in his tone or expression.

He raised his arm again, as if he had completely lost interest in Tibetan horses, and said in a calm tone: "Then, this little farce should end here."

Before he finished speaking, a large piece of flames flew out from between his palms, rushing aggressively towards where Zangma and Tsunakichi were!

Cangma only had time to throw Mokona into Tsunaji's arms, and the next second, the rose and thorn blade had already sprung out from his palm, and a dense vine wall danced in front of him...

——The flame was blocked again.

XANXUS' expression finally changed.

"It seems... I still underestimated you?"

He said softly, and the flame in his palm began to condense rapidly again.

Zangma's expression became more dignified.

The flame has a great restraint effect on the rose and thorn blade, which is a plant. Kurama is not sure how many more attacks he can receive from the opponent.

especially……

It was now that he was in an extremely weak state after he forcibly activated the Giant's Cage by overdrawing his demonic power.

——If...you don't lose more than [-]% of your demon power...

——If...he is still that demon fox Kurama standing on top of countless monsters in the Demon Realm...

——Zangma found that he never had such a moment as now, desperately eager to get back his own power.

How long has it been since he had such an urgent desire for power?

Closing his eyes, Kurama suddenly realized that he seemed to understand why Yuko asked him for demon power as a price.

"At a time like this... where are you looking? Brat?"

It was just a momentary trance, and when he realized it, XANXUS had already shown him a cold smile——

"I thought you'd be interesting."

The man seemed to finally feel some regret as he said, the flame in his hand shone with an ominous blood-colored light, and it was about to spray towards Kurama...

"It's over, XANXUS!"

Accompanied by a miner's hoe that was so embarrassingly shaped as it whirled and stopped in front of everyone in Balian, Father Zetian, who was delayed by something, finally managed to arrive at this critical juncture.

He first gave Zangma a look of gratitude and admiration without any trace, and then turned his gaze domineeringly to the black-haired man who was still in a state of flame and ready to go at any time: "From now on, I will Take over. The ninth generation of Vengley is directly under the assassination force Balian, and... XANXUS, are you going to take action against me, who is an outside consultant?"

"...Jaguang."

After staring blankly at Father Zetian for a few seconds, XANXUS suddenly extinguished the flame in his hand without warning.

"Bastard boss...?"

His reaction stunned Squalo on the side.

However, soon, the silver-haired young man came to his senses, and then aimed the cannon fire at the man in overalls who ruined the "good thing" of his boss: "Jiaguang!! What are you doing here now?! What are you doing here?" A coward who only escapes!"

Faced with his "accusation", Father Zetian just shook his head in a rare and serious manner.

"Squalo, I'm not escaping, I'm waiting."

"Wait... the response from Nine Generations."

And now, he waited.

Iemitsu took out the writ from Vongola's current helm, Timoteo Nine Daime, from his bosom.

Kurama, who still had some vague impressions of the next development, watched as Iemitsu handed over two warrants to Tsunayoshi's side and Balian's side respectively, and the contents of the warrants...

Unsurprisingly, the matter eventually developed into a one-on-one ring battle between two people who held the half Vengley ring of the same attribute.

And shortly after the news was announced in front of the two parties, two strange women who claimed to be members of the organization directly under the Jiudaimu, Cerbero, appeared out of nowhere and announced that they would become referees on their own.

Kurama watched their performance with cold eyes, and there was even a sneer on the corner of his mouth that he didn't realize.

——To be honest, he really disliked this group of "Cherberos".

No matter what their true identities are—the defenders of order, the supervisors of Mare's ring, or even, as many netizens guessed in the previous life, the inheritors of the ancient race like the Avengers, it doesn't matter.

What Zangma hates is the attitude they show when facing Tsunakichi—even if they are obviously biased towards the Balian side, Tsunakichi is one of the orthodox leader candidates, even if he is still a child. A little soft, but... is it your turn to look down on those who call themselves subordinates?

Kurama didn't care if they had their own reasons for doing so.In short, if he saw that they were unhappy, he had to make things difficult for them. (==)

"These two... Cerberos?" With a gentle smile on his face, Zai Jiaguang's question of "I have never heard of Cerberos" was refuted by the other party, and they had to worry about themselves When he started making "announcements" from the ground, Kurama took a step forward and spoke loudly.

Afterwards, regardless of whether the two of them planned to let him continue, Kurama smiled and brought into full play Minano Shuuichi's temperament of a gentle campus prince, but what he said could not be more sharp: "You said you don't need it!" If you are responsible to others, you can really be irresponsible? You can really not be questioned if you say that you don’t accept doubts? The Ring War is very important to the Pengo Li family. If Jiudaimu really does what he said, he will pay attention to this time How could he not have written all the arrangements in the previous writ if he needed to rely on the ring battle to determine the final conclusion?"

"What about the authorization he gave you? What about the proof he made for you?"

"Ladies, the document you just waved in front of Father Zetian can't prove anything."

"Because...there is no Fire Seal of Nine Generations' Death Qi on it, right?"

After Zang Ma finished speaking, the audience fell silent.

In fact, this is actually a suspicious point that can be easily detected, and it is also an easy question that Cerbero cannot answer at all. However, Tsunayoshi in the original book does not understand the mafia world, and Iemitsu Distracted from worrying about other things, coupled with Jiudaimu's death-flame seal as proof, the Ring War is imperative, and no one doubts that the self-proclaimed referee Cerbero who suddenly appeared at this time, It is also a very normal thing.

But Zangma didn't want them to have such an easy time.

He stood there with a quiet smile, but the aura radiating from his body completely shocked the two Cerberos who were speechless when he asked him.

"So, want to be a judge? Yes! As long as you can show proof."

Zangma said with a smile, and raised his hands to the two ashen-faced Cerberos as a gentleman, signaling them to take care of themselves: "There is still a lot of time, through your 'special channel', now to It's not difficult for Jiudaimu to ask for a proof of identity and a commission of judgment with the seal of death as a witness, isn't it?"

"You... are the special operations agency directly under Jiudaimu?"

——It has to be said that Kurama's idea is simply bad.

Jiudaimu is now installed in the Gora Mosca on the opposite side. If the outer layer is not destroyed, no one can save it. In this case, where would you ask Cerbero to find a "Nine Daimu"? Their death marks?

Then a gust of autumn wind blew by, and the whole place... was bleak and silent ==

***

Even though Kurama questioned the Cerberos speechlessly, the events of that day did not really prevent them from becoming the referee of the Ring Tournament.

Because, after that, XANXUS and Jiaguang had some kind of tacit communication with their eyes, and then they both expressed their temporary recognition of Cerbero's identity.

The two women breathed a sigh of relief after avoiding a catastrophe, but they restrained their contemptuous attitude towards Tsuna Kichi in the warning eyes of Zangma—this point, from the beginning when they called Tsuna Kichi "Sawada" to later The most powerful proof can be obtained from "Master Sawada".

But in this way, the Ring War has become a certainty. Even though Tsuna is unwilling, he still can't change the established ending.

After experiencing an unexpected deflection, everything finally got back on track again. The first battle of the Ring War, the competition for the Ring of Haru, will officially start in the middle of the night on the stage of Bingsheng Middle School.

And Zangma was walking with Mokona and Tsunayoshi on the way to Bingzhong, but what he was thinking in his heart was another thing——

He and Mokona, perhaps...will leave soon.
