372 Chapter 369: Gas!

Actually, the woman across was also somewhat surprised.

She considered her skills at concealing herself to be quite good, yet Fang Mo was still staring at her the whole time. Could it be that she had been discovered?

However, despite her thoughts, she acted as if she were completely unaware and went to the counter to pick up her meal. Then, she returned to her table and sat down with a young man, without glancing over at the electric appliance section again, behaving just like a true tourist.

"Master, have we been discovered?"

However, the man opposite her couldn't keep his composure like she did. Upon seeing the woman return, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "That man across has been watching us. I remember he seems to be that young man's superior, technical consultant or something."

"Stay calm, Tolka."

The woman known as master slowly spoke, "We are here on vacation, relax a bit, and stop looking over there."

...

Tolka, the man called, obediently picked up his burger and began to eat.

As for the other side,

Hayakawa Aki had also noticed Fang Mo's actions.

After all, Fang Mo's blatant staring was too conspicuous. He might not have noticed the subtle movements of Denji getting hurt, but that didn't mean he wouldn't notice Fang Mo's obvious actions.

"What's the situation?"

After thinking it over, Hayakawa Aki also asked in a low voice, "Is it the enemy?"

"It's nothing." Fang Mo shook his head and casually fabricated, "I was just thinking that the woman has quite a few moles on her face. I know an old man in China who made a contract with the mole Devil, and I was wondering whether to introduce her to him."

"...Those are called beauty marks."

Hayakawa Aki couldn't help but say, "Can you take this a bit more seriously? You are the overall commander of this operation. Can you please stop staring at other women?"

"Aren't you seeing Mr. Kusakabe taking it seriously?"

Fang Mo directly said, "This is called specialization. He has always been meticulous, so let him handle the planning and strategy, and I will execute them. Everyone plays to their strengths, and that's the essence of teamwork... If you really want me to take it seriously, then I might have Denji cosplay as Saitama walking down the street, how about that?"

Truth be told, if the newcomers were ordinary assassins or Devil hunters, like the Undying Brothers, Fang Mo would have easily taken care of them.

But the problem was that the opponent was a master, the legendary Santa Claus herself, who in the original story opened the gates of hell and sent the protagonist group to hell.

To be honest, Fang Mo had set his sights on the Dark Devil long ago, after all, this creature was the primordial evil, the ceiling of combat power in the original story. It would be a pity not to seal it in a sword to create a shadow that blocks out the sun. Unfortunately, Fang Mo did not have a teleportation anchor in hell, so to allow the master to open the gates of hell later, Fang Mo turned a blind eye to her.

There was no choice, how could Fang Mo arrange the gates of hell with obsidian in the real world?

"Consultant Fang Mo... turns out to be unexpectedly easy to get along with."

Kusakabe was unaware of Fang Mo's plan, and upon hearing his explanation, he looked up at Fang Mo with some surprise: "The rumors say that the consultant of the Fourth Special Division is very troublesome, but it seems that's just their bias."

"Young man, you have a good eye."

After a round of mutual tactical flattery, Fang Mo also smiled and then directly took something out and handed it over: "Here, take this, it's a gift for our meeting."

"What is this?"

Kusakabe was somewhat puzzled but still accepted the item Fang Mo handed over. It was a pale red heart-shaped stone with an indescribably strange rhythm to it, yet for some reason, it felt very comforting to look at.

"This is a special medal for the revival race."

Fang Mo introduced with a smile: "With this thing, you can win any revival race 100%. I suggest you wear it on you; it could save your life at a critical moment."

"…Thank you for that."

Kusakabe seemed unconvinced but still displayed a polite smile and put the item away.

Just as Kusakabe had put away the life-saving charm, Hayakawa Aki's phone suddenly rang. Hayakawa Aki took out his phone with a bit of confusion, and his expression changed immediately. He stood up from his chair: "What? Is it true? Okay… I understand, I'll be right there."

"What happened?"

Tamaoki asked upon seeing this.

"Miss Tendo and Mr. Kurose had an accident. Mr. Kurose said they've been attacked," Hayakawa Aki said with a frown: "Mr. Kurose is currently with Kobeni and the Violence Devil. It seems the enemy has begun to move; we also need to be extra cautious."

"So, are we going over?"

Angel Devil lazily said: "But I haven't even had lunch yet. Can you buy me a burger too?"

"Now is not the time to eat."

Hayakawa Aki said directly, clearly unable to sit still any longer. Kurose and Tendo had helped him before, and he couldn't just stand by idly now that something had happened: "We're heading over now."

"How long could eating a burger possibly delay us? Can you afford the responsibility if you starve the kid thin?" However, Fang Mo didn't care about that and raised his hand to signal for another burger, then turned to Angel Devil: "Alright, after you finish the burger, we'll go."

"Ah, thank you."

Angel Devil said subconsciously.

"No problem." Fang Mo waved his hand nonchalantly: "Just come to my room tonight."

"…"

Angel Devil immediately silenced, and it was a while before she couldn't help but say, "If you're going to say that... I don't have to eat this hamburger..."

"..."

Seeing this, Kusakabe seemed somewhat speechless too. He unconsciously turned his head to look at Hayakawa Aki, who just shrugged his shoulders, indicating that Fang Mo is always like this.

After this little interlude.

Everyone quickly left the burger shop and arrived at the meeting point.

When they arrived at the meeting point, Kobeni and Kurose had already arrived. The Violence Devil greeted them warmly: "Yo, boss."

"You're in good shape today, Galgali."

Fang Mo also responded, "Speaking of which, your poison gas mask is too visually striking. How about you carry a poison gas tank on your back next time? It's unfair that you're the only one inhaling that poison. If you release it, everyone can inhale it together, weakening the enemy's combat power, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Fighting while spraying poison gas?"

The Violence Devil touched his head, seemingly really considering it: "Sounds okay, but normal Devils probably aren't afraid of this kind of poison, right?"

While the two were chatting away.

Kurose started negotiating with Hayakawa Aki.

His injuries were quite severe, even his forehead was bandaged. He should have gone to the hospital for recovery, but he insisted on coming to the meeting. Kobeni is soft-hearted and couldn't persuade him, so she had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

However, Hayakawa Aki felt differently. He thought Kurose's current condition wasn't good, so he wanted to persuade him to go back and rest. Unfortunately, Kurose kept insisting he could still fight, and somehow the topic shifted to Denji. Kurose earnestly grabbed his hand, expressing that he would protect him along with Tendo's share as well.

Just then, Power, who was always restless, started causing trouble again.

She suddenly set her sights on a car not far away because she had seen the three of them come down from this car when they met earlier.

Thinking it over, Power turned her head and asked Kobeni, "This is your car, right?"

"Ah, yes, it is."

Kobeni said somewhat nervously, "For the convenience of work, I saved money for a long time... and also to pick up family members."

"Wow!"

Hearing this, Power immediately got excited: "I was dragged shopping by these people early in the morning, and my feet are tired. This car comes at the right time, hurry up and let me..."

Before she could finish her sentence, suddenly a hand was placed on her shoulder.

Then Fang Mo's voice rang out.

"Well said."

"Wow!" Power was startled and immediately admitted defeat, "Boss, spare my life. It wasn't me who wanted to rob... This woman wanted to give the car to me voluntarily."

"Ah?"

Kobeni hurriedly said, "It's not me, I didn't..."

"There's no time to explain, get in the car quickly." Fang Mo directly waved his hand and ordered, "In any case, both of you get in."

"Understood..."

These two were usually scared by Fang Mo's special training and dared not defy him, so they obediently got in the car. However, Power still played a trick, squeezing Kobeni into the passenger seat, while he himself sat in the driver's seat with excitement.

"Can you drive?"

Fang Mo asked.

"Uh... I guess?" Power hesitated for a moment, but eventually told the truth, "I've seen others drive before, so I can drive."

"Good."

Fang Mo nodded, then crossed his arms, and his demeanor suddenly changed. He said in a cold voice, "Drive."

"Where to?"

Power asked subconsciously.

"The pedestrian walkway."

"Ha?"

Hearing Fang Mo's words, not only Powet, but even Kobeni seemed stunned for a moment, "Wait... wait, the pedestrian walkway means..."

"The pedestrian walkway is quite spacious, isn't it?" Fang Mo raised his hand and pointed at Kurose, who was shaking hands with Denji in front of them, and then released a part of his aura, "Drive there."

"Yes!"

Power was really scared of Fang Mo. Feeling his aura, he quickly stepped on the gas pedal, and with a roar, Kobeni's beloved car instantly shot out from its spot.

Seeing this, Kobeni seemed to realize something too, and her face instantly turned extremely scared, "Wait... wait! Wait ahhh!!!"

But it was too late.

The car went straight towards Kurose and Denji, hitting them with a loud thud, and the two were instantly thrown out.

But that was not all. Since Power had floored the gas pedal, the car chased after them and then directly rolled over their faces with the wheels, before finally crashing diagonally into the wall on the other side of the road. This crash was quite severe, even flipping open the front hood of the car, and smoke started billowing out from inside.
