Anger may be there, but Bai Yaxin's fury only burns within, not showing on the outside.

The dragon's fangs can be awakened at any time, that's not a problem.

The issue lies in that Xingyue Riyang is an unexpected foe for Bai Yaxin.

Who is Xingyue Riyang truly working for, and what is their objective?

According to Bai Yaxin's speculation, Xingyue Riyang is most likely a hired thug brought in by Manranyama Souren.

Bai Yaxin still remembers that before interviewing Xingyue Riyang, he had seen his resume and background check report. In his impression, Xingyue Riyang was just a very ordinary high school dropout who drifted through society after a brief time, quickly rising from an apprentice to a master-level bartender.

In search of better treatment and more upscale clients, he came to work at the R.E.L.A.X. brothel.

Both of his parents are alive, he works diligently as a salaryman, and there is nothing particularly unusual about his situation.

Socially, he has almost no friends, only occasionally meeting up with a few old classmates who work in government to drink and barbecue. There are no records of contact with the forces Bai Yaxin is concerned about.

Truly an ordinary background to the extreme.

So, why would someone like him come to oppose Bai Yaxin? Is his life not important? Isn't it better to live peacefully?

Bai Yaxin once again starts to doubt if his intelligence network is functioning properly.

First, it was Sou Souzumi and Mizuharin Fan.

Now it's Xingyue Riyang.

How many more enemies must succeed in deceiving and infiltrating his organization, climbing to the higher levels, and lurking right beside him?

"Mr. Xingyue, what brings you here today?" (Bai Yaxin)

Bai Yaxin doesn't rush to wake up the dragon's fangs.

He wants to first understand the truth about Xingyue Riyang.

"Oh, me? What am I doing here?" (Xingyue Riyang)

Xingyue Riyang chuckles, ruffles his hair, clearly pretending to be clueless.

"I think you didn't just come here for a leisurely stroll, did you?" (Bai Yaxin)

In Bai Yaxin's mind, if this guy utters another useless word, he won't waste time and will directly wake up the dragon's fangs to deal with him.

To his surprise, Xingyue Riyang suddenly stops pretending.

"...Well, let me put it this way." (Xingyue Riyang)

"I used to have a friend." (Xingyue Riyang)

"Though we've been apart for some time, lost contact, and never will again." (Xingyue Riyang)

"But I decided to secretly help him today." (Xingyue Riyang)

"So that even if I remember this day later, I won't regret." (Xingyue Riyang)

"I don't like regrets." (Xingyue Riyang)

"If I have to choose between 'not doing and then regretting' and 'doing and then regretting', I'll definitely choose the latter." (Xingyue Riyang)

After saying these words, Xingyue Riyang tilts his head, looking at Bai Yaxin.

"It seems like your friend is seeking my life, huh?" (Bai Yaxin)

After hearing Xingyue Riyang's words, Bai Yaxin believes that Xingyue Riyang was sent by Manranyama Souren.

Besides Manranyama Souren, there couldn't be anyone else.

"Do you guys use a wireless communication device? Why not help me call out Manranyama Souren for a chat? Maybe we can peacefully resolve this." (Bai Yaxin)

Bai Yaxin secretly thinks that he has already figured out Xingyue Riyang's approach and raises his voice a few decibels.

"Manranyama Souren?" (Xingyue Riyang)

Xingyue Riyang is taken aback by this name.

"Well, although I didn't intend to help her, if I have to defend her, I can justify it." (Xingyue Riyang)

"Anyway, Mr. Bai, as long as you're happy." (Xingyue Riyang)

The response Bai Yaxin was hoping for clearly wasn't this.

He gazes at Xingyue Riyang for a moment, then shakes his head.

"Never mind." (Bai Yaxin)

Bai Yaxin taps the ambulance's body with his cane, making a clanking sound.

"Fangs, wake up and get to work." (Bai Yaxin)

Before Bai Yaxin finishes his sentence, the Fangs are already standing beside him.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I accidentally nodded off." (Fangs)

With sleepy eyes, Fangs scratching his head, chuckling.

"That game that came out a while ago, 'Zelda,' oh man, it's so much fun. I ended up playing all night last night by accident, so today I felt especially tired and was just thinking of taking a nap on top of the ambulance..." (Fangs)

"Take care of him, Fangs, we need to go quickly." (Bai Yaxin)

Bai Yaxin impatiently cuts off any more small talk from Fangs.

"Okay." (Fangs)

Fangs dare not babble more, rubbing his head with his hand, making a cracking sound, then walks towards Xingyue Riyang barehanded.

At that moment, a swoosh is heard, followed by a shadow flashing from the sky, diving towards Xingyue Riyang's chest.

Xingyue Riyang dodges this shadow by sidestepping, revealing it was an arrow.

The arrow that missed hits the marble floor with a loud thud, piercing a hole and bouncing high before dropping not far away.

Subsequently, several more arrows come consecutively; Xingyue Riyang evades them with precise moves, showing his close calls with ease.

It seems dangerous, yet one can see his mastery in the situation.

"Mr. Bai sure has exceptional eyesight." (Fangs)

Fangs stands there, talking to Bai Yaxin.

"When I saw that carbon fiber composite bow, I thought Mr. Zaxiduoji was as good as gone." (Fangs)

"But it turns out he's fine!" (Fangs)

"...Well, Mr. Zaxiduoji is not someone who gives up easily. I was impressed by his tenacity back then." (Bai Yaxin)

Bai Yaxin's reply is a bit quieter, showing a hint of uncertainty.

Because he had already assumed that Zaxiduoji had lost his fighting capabilities or even died.

However, the shooting technique from the arrows just now was unmistakably from Zaxiduoji's hand.

Not aiming for a fatal shot in one arrow, but through a continuous rapid fire of dozens of arrows to restrict the opponent's movements and sap their energy, then seize the opportunity when their guard is down to inflict heavy damage.

This kind of archery and combat technique came from Zaxiduoji's native hunting skills.

They rode on horseback, holding shortbows, chasing after antelopes, grassland deer, badgers, and other prey. They would shoot arrows from horseback and hit the mark every time.

In such a hunting environment, their arrow shooting and aim speed improved drastically. Skilled archers could shoot two arrows in one second or even string two or three arrows on the bow at the same time, aiming at two or three prey and shooting simultaneously.

The style wasn't about a long-distance kill shot but a cascade of arrows in a short to medium distance, akin to a storm.

Yet what surprised Fangs and Bai Yaxin was Xingyue Riyang's agile and swift movements.

In just a few seconds, he had evaded dozens of arrows in a row, hardly moving from his initial spot, just shifting horizontally.

"This guy is really skilled." (Fangs)

Fangs watches intently.

In truth, Fangs had always wanted to spar with Zaxiduoji, but Zaxiduoji was a strict person and didn't want to harm his teammates, so he declined Fangs' invitations each time.

Now, Fangs was even a bit envious of Xingyue Riyang.

The battle continues.

According to Zaxiduoji's tactics, he himself shouldn't be too far off.

After dodging dozens of arrows in succession, Xingyue Riyang roughly guessed Zaxiduoji's hiding place.

Just then, the trajectory of Zaxiduoji's arrows began to change dramatically, no longer shooting in the same area but shifting wildly.

These changes weren't just lateral but also included a new trajectory—projection.

Mixed among the direct shots, every few arrows were shot into the sky before dropping down—a strategy often used by archer units, especially those wielding longbows, in ancient times.

By shooting a large number of arrows into the air, then letting them fall, the range increased significantly while the dense rain of arrows falling could be affected by wind direction and force, making it harder to defend against or dodge.

Faced with Zaxiduoji's strategic adjustments, Xingyue Riyang starts employing different tactics.

During his evasions, he adds some rolling movements and upon rolling, picks up several arrows from the ground.

One arrow is brittle, but a handful is quite sturdy.

Xingyue Riyang uses one like a staff, instead of dodging, he swings it left and right, knocking down the incoming arrows one after another.

At that moment, Zaxiduoji's storm of arrows ceases.

The damaged tiles on the ground, broken arrows, the immobile ambulance, the people standing around.

The scene falls into a peculiar silence for a few seconds.

Everyone is pondering their next move.

Suddenly, from not far away, the roaring of a motorcycle engine is heard.

Immediately, the headlight shines, a black motorcycle slowly approaches.

The body is all black, with sharp lines, only the metallic red paint on the body frame indicating its extraordinary power beneath the understated exterior.

This is a Kawasaki Ninja 250ABS, equipped with a parallel-twin engine that can produce a maximum power of 39PS at 12500 rpm and a peak torque of 23.5 Nm at 1000 rpm.

In other words, it is a performance beast.

Riding on the bike is Zaxi Duoji.

He is dressed in a tactical vest, thick trousers, leather boots, carrying a quiver on his back, and holding his backup bow: the Black Tail North American hunting bow.

"Sorry, Mr. Bai, I couldn't stop him." (Zaxi Duoji)

The motorcycle stopped next to Bai Yaxin, but Zaxi Duoji did not get off.

His right foot seemed broken, directly fixed to the bike body with bandages by Zaxi Duoji, using only his left foot to support the stopped motorcycle.

It seems that these were injuries sustained in the battle with Xingye Rixiang just now.

Looking back at Xingye Rixiang, without a scratch.

"I was careless just now, I'm really sorry."

"But now, I will seriously kill him." (Zaxi Duoji)

Anger flashed in Zaxi Duoji's eyes.

This was the first time Bai Yaxin had seen Zaxi Duoji angry.
