After leaving home and turning a few corners, Chongzong threw the shovel in his hand into the garbage can and then walked straight to the station.

He planned to go find a Manranyama Souren.

As for the Atlas Brown Bear, Chongzong was very clear that the other party would not catch up anymore.

Chongzong originally intended to kill the Atlas Brown Bear.

He knew very well that this honest big guy was very rigid, didn't leak any information, and was probably working for someone else, perhaps with a subplot of gratitude.

But everyone should be responsible for their own actions.

The orders come from the leaders, but the execution is by individuals.

In any case, the final decision is made by the individual.

Therefore, Chongzong did not consider the Atlas Brown Bear innocent in this series of events.

This thought remained unchanged until Chongzong ambushed at the door, swinging the shovel, ready to strike at the Atlas Brown Bear, with a firm determination.

The blow that came down was resolute with the intent to kill.

But with the Atlas Brown Bear's strong physical condition and timely reaction, he dodged this fatal blow.

As the shovel hit the floor with a loud "clang," Chongzong's internal hatred was also shattered.

—Forget it.

At that moment, there was a voice in his heart.

What's the point of killing the Atlas Brown Bear?

If someone dies in his own home, it will only make things more difficult to resolve.

If Yui, Yuki, Mizuo, and the others found out, they definitely wouldn't want such a thing to happen.

After realizing this, the anger vortex that had almost driven Chongzong to madness inexplicably subsided in an instant.

Bai Yaxin taking away the Sugi family members must have a hidden agenda.

If only a life was wanted, there would be no need to abduct them.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to find teammates and confront Bai Yaxin together.

With his composure restored, Chongzong sorted out his emotions and thoughts, and in the blink of an eye, he was already at the station.

While waiting for the train, Chongzong took out his phone to greet Manranyama Souren. It was then that he noticed three missed calls, all from Eiji Hayamizu.

His intuition told him there was a problem.

He immediately called back, and the call was answered almost instantly.

"Sugi?" (Hayamizu)

"Is this Sugi?" (Hayamizu)

"Are you okay?!" (Hayamizu)

As soon as the call connected, Hayamizu impatiently asked, his loud voice prompting Chongzong to quickly move the phone away from his ear.

"… Speak quietly, I'm okay." (Chongzong)

"Just calm down." (Chongzong)

"Has something happened? Are you safe now?" (Chongzong)

Sugimizu's question brought an anxious response. Connecting the dots from their previous phone call, Chongzong vaguely guessed that something must have happened to Sugimizu as well.

In such a situation, Chongzong's concern for Sugimizu's safety made Sugimizu feel ashamed.

Subsequently, Chongzong and Sugimizu confirmed the situation and learned about the details of today's events.

Although the situation itself was not good, Chongzong felt that this unexpected turn of events could actually be useful in the end.

In times of crisis, all available resources must be utilized.

"Sugimizu, I'll give you an address. Bring this woman with you and come meet me." (Chongzong)
