This was the second time she had heard this.

Xia Kong secretly memorized the timbre of his voice.

She saw the corners of Xanxus's lips curl upward.

A ball of flame had already flown over.

The bright yellow ball seemed to carry a scorching temperature, scaring her into closing her eyes.

The scene in front of her was instantly covered by darkness.

"What do you mean by that expression?

Is my name scary? "

Hearing Hayato Jōdera's provocative question,

Xia Kong shook his head, "No.

"No. I just thought of something else."

As she spoke, she fixed her gaze on Hayato Jōdera.

The emotions in her eyes were incomparably complicated.

They were twisted into guilt and helplessness, and soon turned into calmness.

Deciphering these things, Hayato Jōdera's hair stood on end. "You, why are you so strange!"

"You're right, I think so too." Xia Kong nodded seriously.

She happily accepted the "strange" label.

Hayato Jōdera's face was filled with shock.

When they saw strange things,

People would indeed have this expression.

Xia Kong didn't care. She didn't have the slightest awareness that she had been subjected to several derogatory descriptions in a row.

She felt that she was indeed a complete weirdo.

If she didn't blame herself,

Why did she have to set up a "whitewashing" plan to torment herself like this,

Wasn't this just looking for abuse?

Unless there was a reason why she had to do this.

Deciphering the tip of the iceberg of the truth,

It only made her want to continue.

Thinking of this, Xia Kong sighed gloomily.

Hayato Jōdera recovered from his shock and heard her sigh.

Without thinking, he said, "There are stranger women in the world."

After saying that, he seemed to regret it.

He turned his face away and stuffed a mouthful of noodles into his mouth.

"Thank you, but the noodles you ate …" Xia Kong saw it clearly.

Not only was there noodles in that mouthful, but there was also bright red chili.

But he was a little too late, and Hayato had already tasted the food in his mouth. He was so stimulated that he groaned and swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty with a red face.

He quickly glanced at Xia Kong from the corner of his eyes. When he saw that she was looking at him, he immediately pretended to be calm and drank a mouthful of soup.

Sob sob sob, so he was also a cute boy!

Hayato Jōdera's brave appearance suddenly gave Xia Kong a different feeling.

He was only twelve years old, the same age as Sawada Tsunayoshi.

The ferocious look on his face might be his protective camouflage.

For him to use such a disguise to package himself, it must have something to do with some unpleasant experiences.

"Do you like Peng Geli very much?" Xia Kong asked after pondering for a moment.

"Mhmm.

This sentence seemed to have touched Hayato Jōdera's heart. He answered honestly, "The Pengelly family is the best Mafia I've ever seen."

"Is it because of the commander?"

Speaking of this, Xia Kong had some insights that he could share. "The ninth generation head doesn't look like a mafia boss. He looks more like a kind grandpa next door."

"Hmph!

What do you know! "

Hayato Jōdera said awkwardly, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes. "However, I want to become the tenth generation Pengelly's man in the future!"

"Such a big goal?" So he wanted to be the tenth generation's man for a long time!

I wonder who the tenth generation's man will be!

Xia Kong hid her misinterpretation. After all, his information did state that he was the guardian of Pengelly's tenth generation.

"Of course, I will make Pengelly stronger!" Hayato Jōdera lifted his chin.

"Oh right, did you choose a bomb as your weapon?

Where do you usually hide your bombs? "

After a pleasant conversation, Xia Kong led the topic to what she wanted to know. Her eyes subtly glanced at Hayato Jōdera's lower body.

Hayato Jōdera glanced at her as if looking at an idiot. "The Mafia's rule is that we don't pry into each other's private matters."

Well, since it was a "private matter", then there was no mistake. The bomb was indeed taken out from his pants.

After confirming the information, Xia Kong said she wanted to go to the rooftop to take a look.

Hayato Jōdera nodded in agreement. He quietly followed behind her and took the elevator.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived, Little Killer Maru and Xie Jian were not there.

What happened to the setting where he had to stay by her side to recover his demonic power?

Was it really okay to abandon this setting every second?

Helplessly standing at the edge of the rooftop, Xia Kong suddenly remembered that there was a time when she had a meal with Sawada Tsunayoshi on the school's rooftop.

The sky here was as blue as the one in Bimoshōcho. The only difference was the person beside her.

She turned around. Hayato Jōdera was standing behind her with his hands in his pockets.

"Did Mr. Reborn say why he wanted you to come?" Before, Hayato Jōdera was not very cooperative, but now it should be fine.

Hayato Jōdera immediately scowled, his face full of disgust. "If it weren't for the fact that you happened to be hospitalized and made enemies, I would be fighting with them right now. Woman who is dragging me down."

"He wants you to protect me?" Interpreting the correct meaning, Xia Kong bowed to him. "Thank you, Hayato."

"Humph, it's because of an order." Hayato Jōdera pulled out a hand, but immediately forgot where to put it.

He was not used to being thanked like this. He instantly felt that the other party really respected and approved of him.

He carefully examined Xia Kong.

From her shoulder-length black hair to her relatively pleasing face, he actually felt that the previous teasing was nothing.

As for her quietly changing the way she addressed him, he did not notice it at all.

But the next second, he heard Xia Kong add with a smile. "The other party is an assassin that even Mr. Reborn is afraid of. Thank you for your hard work."

Hayato Jōdera's hands in his pockets clenched. He suddenly wanted to hit someone.

The two of them went downstairs together, found the doctor and requested to be discharged.

The doctor was very surprised to see Xia Kong walking freely. However, as an employee of Pengelly's hospital, he was very smart and did not ask much. He only said, "Please pay the surgery fee and hospitalization fee, the total is 8000 euros."

Xia Kong's expression turned awkward.

The school provided food and accommodation, and the daily necessities were also complete. She did not spend any money. Everything else was prepared by the Dog Gods.

So, what should she do?

Since she woke up, this was the first time she experienced the horror of not having money. Xia Kong thought for a while and had to ask the only person beside her for help. "Well, Hayato, can you lend me the money to pay the hospital?

I... I will definitely pay you back.

Reborn can vouch for me! "

When she mentioned Reborn's name, Hayato Jōdera took out his card from his pocket and quickly paid the bill.

The two of them walked to the hospital one after the other. The situation on the road outside was clearly shown through the wide open door.

Thinking of Reborn's warning, Xia Kong grasped her backpack, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the hospital.

One step, two steps, three steps...

She did not feel any attack. She stopped and looked around.

Why didn't Nail Killer appear?

Did Reborn misunderstand?

What should she do if he did not appear?

The Dog Gods disappeared after she went out to look for him. Even if they came out to kill her, they could at least give her some information about the Dog Gods.

She could not look for the Dog Gods on the street like a headless fly.

Xia Kong thought for a while and decided to leave her things with Grandpa Kudaime first.

It was not far from the hospital to the entrance of Pengelly Base. It only took 20 minutes by taxi.

However, for security purposes, they could only stop in front of a camouflaged building and take a detour to Pengelly Base.

Looking at Hayato Jōdera taking out a handful of money from his pocket to pay the driver, Xia Kong decided to give him a wallet to express her gratitude after she paid him back.

A man could not live without a wallet.

After walking for a long time, her left foot still hurt faintly. However, Xia Kong did not say anything.

When they walked to the forest where she first met Hayato Jōdera, she deliberately looked at Hayato Jōdera.

According to her calculations...

"What are you looking at?

Cunning woman! "As expected, Hayato Jōdera was angry again, and his face was suspiciously red.

Xia Kong suddenly felt the pain in her foot lessen. Coincidentally, her phone rang at this time.

It was Reborn.

"Ciosu, I heard you were discharged from the hospital. Good job, Xia Kong.

Where are you now? "

"At the place where I met 'Cat'."

"Kudaime wants to see you. Hayato is on standby in the base."

After a brief greeting and instructions, Reborn quickly hung up the phone.

Xia Kong walked as fast as she could to Kudaime's room. She did not expect to be told that they were all in the control room of the laboratory.

She had only heard of Pengelly's laboratory. It was not a gloomy place. She could only see some strange test tubes and glass containers.

After being led to the destination by the bodyguard in black, she pushed the door open.

Several researchers in white were standing inside the door. Kudaime in a black suit and Reborn next to him were very conspicuous.

"Long time no see, Grandpa Kudaime, Reborn." Xia Kong took the initiative to greet him. Then she asked, "What's the matter?"

Kudaime's grandfather smiled and gestured to Xia Kong to see what the researchers were fiddling with. "Long time no see, Xia Kong. Take a look first."

Xia Kong took a few steps forward and saw the person lying on the control table.

She had long black hair, closed eyes, pale face, and purple lips.

She had feminine curves where she was covered, but her neck was charred black, indicating that she had suffered the same fate below her neck.

The person who had turned her into this seemed to have deliberately avoided her face.

For some reason, the more Xia Kong looked at this face, the more familiar it seemed.

Did she know this person before?

"What do you think, Xia Kong? Do you think this woman's face is familiar?" Reborn was expressionless. "She claims to be Xia Kong."

Hearing this, Xia Kong's heart skipped a beat.

Yes, no matter how a person's face changed after they grew up, people who saw them would still recognize them.

No wonder she looked familiar. It was her after she grew up!

A researcher on the side took off his gloves and began to explain, "Miss Xia Kong, the body tissues of this woman who claimed to be you are still alive. Please help us find the cause."

"What do you mean?"

"We need you to provide us with your blood and meat."

It was okay to draw blood, but what did they mean by asking for meat?

Xia Kong pursed her lips and looked at Kudaime and Reborn.

She remembered that the Dog Gods had asked Kudaime for a suitable reward on the pretext of cooperating with the experiment.

She, who was in urgent need of money, had to think about this.

Wait!
