Chongzong called and asked Sugi Yui to come and meet him.

While waiting for Sugi Yui, Chongzong had Yuki call the police.

He didn't call the police himself because the person who reports the crime would have to cooperate with the police afterwards. Chongzong had other things to handle and couldn't stay there wasting time with the three thugs.

Shortly after Sugi Yui arrived, they heard the sound of police cars approaching.

Chongzong climbed over the wall of the alley to avoid being seen by the police and left first.

Before leaving, Chongzong, Sugi Yui, and Yuki Mizuo coordinated their statements.

The general content of their statement was: Yuki and Mizuo were attacked by thugs on their way home from school. A passing youth helped out without leaving a name, settled the matter, and left. Then Yuki called the police, and later informed Sugi Yui.

This way, Chongzong could leave without worries and head to Shijo-kawaramachi shopping street.

On the way there, Chongzong moved rapidly as if flying.

He had no expression on his face, looked relaxed, but exuded an aura of not allowing anyone to get close, making people even avoid looking into his eyes.

His hostility emanated from within.

Due to his fast pace, Chongzong arrived at Shijo-kawaramachi in no time.

The shopping street was long, but Chongzong had no clue about Hikida's base.

This wasn't a friendly offline gathering where signs along the way would guide visitors on how to get there.

To Chongzong, everyone he saw could be an enemy.

In this enemy territory, Chongzong had his own way of finding their boss.

After all, he was not a delicate flower bred in a greenhouse.

Before studying in Kyoto, he had dealt with the society.

However, at this moment, he was in a bad mood and didn't have the patience to slowly investigate using mild methods.

He wanted to use a more efficient approach and directly expose Hikida.

Chongzong went straight into various secluded alleys on the shopping street and soon found three to four thugs smoking together.

"Hey, are you guys from Hikida?" (Chongzong)

As soon as they heard Chongzong mention Hikida, these four thugs consciously put out their cigarettes and walked towards Chongzong.

Clearly, they intended to surround Chongzong first using their numerical and physical advantages.

Let's call them Thug ABCD; they didn't deserve names and were about to exit soon.

Chongzong didn't plan to wait until they surrounded him to "communicate properly".

Before they approached, Chongzong took the initiative and directly punched thug A in the nose with such force that he instantly lost consciousness and fell backward, collapsing directly onto his comrade.

Seizing the opportunity while two thugs, B.C., were supporting each other, Chongzong swiftly dashed into the midst of four people, pretending to attack the head of another thug, D. The thug reflexively raised his hand to defend, believing Chongzong's feint, so Chongzong immediately changed direction and punched him in the stomach, delivering two consecutive blows that caused thug D to wince in pain and bend over.

Without giving him a moment to catch his breath, Chongzong mercilessly struck thug D on the back of the head with his elbow, causing thug D to instantly collapse unconscious on the ground.

Realizing what was happening, thugs B and C, one seizing the opportunity, hugged Chongzong from behind, while the other came at him with a punch from the front… little did they know, Chongzong took advantage of the distracted thug holding him, pushed off the ground with both feet, somersaulted in the air, then swiftly landed two kicks in succession on the back of the thug's neck, knocking down another one.

In the blink of an eye, only the last thug was left standing.
