Chapter 364: Why do villains always do perverted things?
The moment Sato Shinichi put his hands into the handcuffs, sharp metal spikes grew out from the inside of the circular restraints, piercing his wrists without obstruction.
However, Sato Shinichi seemed to be unaware, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and walked towards Sawai Yoshio with determined eyes.
“Damn it!”
Seeing Sato Shinichi controlled by Sawai Yoshio almost instantly, Kitahara Itoru cursed inwardly and hurriedly pressed the call button on his headset, asking how much longer the remote sniper team that was coming to support would be in position.
The current situation had completely exceeded Kitahara Itoru’s expectations. The boy in front of him, who wasn’t obeying his evacuation orders, was simply causing trouble.
His calm and composed response earlier was acceptable. Kitahara Itoru had initially planned to use Sato Shinichi to distract the enemy and see if there was an opportunity to directly rescue the hostages.
But this kind of action now was equivalent to giving Sawai Yoshio another free kill.
What was even more deadly was that if this boy’s identity was truly from a hero family as he claimed, then it would be an even worse situation.
Broadly speaking, it could lead to the death of a future intermediate force of the association. On a smaller scale, as a rescuer present, if the boy were to have an accident, he might have to bear the pressure from that family and even the association, which was a headache from any angle.
As if sensing the faint anxiety in Kitahara Itoru’s heart, or perhaps Sato Shinichi already had his own follow-up plan.
The boy, who was walking forward, seemed to stumble over something. He staggered and tilted his head slightly. The movement of his shoulders, combined with the expression on his face, conveyed a very subtle action towards Kitahara Itoru, and then he continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
“The association’s tactical action? He wants me to cooperate with him in the rescue?”
Kitahara Itoru, who had worked with the association’s heroes for many years, understood the information conveyed by the boy’s actions almost instantly. The worry in his eyes was replaced by intense doubt, but he slowly lowered the hands he had raised and began to accumulate energy in a position where Sawai Yoshio could not see.
For Kitahara Itoru, the current situation was as bad as it could possibly get.
Although he didn’t know what ability this young man from a hero family possessed to counteract the enemy’s metal control, the fact that he could send a signal to remind himself in such a situation indicated that his actions were not a rash impulsive behavior as they appeared on the surface.
Therefore, the best way now, or the only way besides waiting for reinforcements, was to cooperate with this bold young man to find a slight chance to rescue the hostages.
With this thought in mind, Kitahara Itoru’s anxiety eased a little. He stopped considering other possibilities and focused all his energy on the three people in the distance, waiting for the next development of the situation.
[Calm down! Calm down!]
At this time, Sato Shinichi had no time to care whether Kitahara Itoru saw his actions. As he slowly approached the two, the boy’s heart began to beat uncontrollably.
In fact, Sato Shinichi had undergone similar rescue missions before. More accurately, as a hero, it was his duty to save others under various dangers.
But Kazumi was different. This girl he cherished the most, even the slightest mistake or danger, the boy would not allow it to happen.
Just as even the most precise doctor was not suitable to perform surgery on their own close relative, Sato Shinichi, as a hero who had experienced countless rescue missions. Facing this operation, his heart was more fearful and uneasy than when he first participated in a hero activity.
With his hands clasped in front of his chest, Sato Shinichi had reached Sawai Yoshio. His bright blue eyes glanced deeply at the girl being held hostage in the other man’s hand, then he raised his head, faced the fugitive who exuded a fierce aura all over his body, and said.
“Is this okay, Mr. Sawai?”
“Hmm…”
Squinting his eyes as he looked at the boy standing in front of him, even Sawai Yoshio was somewhat uncertain of the other party’s intentions at this moment.
The potential-stimulating potion would have a certain influence on a person’s reason, but as a long-term user of the potion, Sawai Yoshio had long mastered the ability to preserve the remaining sanity within this madness.
The so-called outward appearance of agitation and frenzy was more of a means to deceive the heroes, and they were waiting for the police’s follow-up support, but wasn’t he also?
He had already obtained the data the BOSS needed, and he had escaped to the agreed-upon North Sea coast. As long as he could wait for the BOSS to arrive in person, no matter how many people were present, it was possible, no, it was certain! He would definitely be able to get out safely!
He originally thought this boy was just a pawn released by the hero side to relax his vigilance, but from the looks of it, he seemed to be a hotheaded youth who would do anything for love.
Feeling the metalspikes that had shape-shifted into the other party’s flesh and blood under his ability, and the boy’s body showing no reaction of ability fluctuations, Sawai Yoshio’s eyes finally flashed with a few dangerous glints. He raised his hand and gestured.
“Very good. Come closer and put your neck against my blade.”
The other hand differentiated into a sharp blade, and Sawai Yoshio smiled as he looked at the boy who was seeking his own death, while also continuing to brew the energy within his body, guarding against any unforeseen moves the boy might make after getting completely close.
But until Sato Shinichi carelessly leaned his neck against Sawai Yoshio’s blade, the other party did not show any unusual actions, as if this boy was truly so naive as to come to exchange hostages.
After a brief moment of astonishment, a burst of wild joy appeared on Sawai Yoshio’s face. Perhaps he had been in the darkness for too long, Sawai Yoshio truly did not expect anyone to be so simply foolish.
Handing his own life to others carelessly, and for the purpose of just one woman?
It was so ridiculous.
Looking at Kitahara Itoru in the distance with a solemn expression, then turning back to the girl in his hand whose mouth and limbs were sealed by his ability, Sawai Yoshio’s face finally showed a hint of pleasure.
This boy had indeed made a good suggestion. Only the most valuable hostage was needed, and as for the rest…
His ugly tongue protruded, licking his dry lips meticulously. Sawai Yoshio slowly but cruelly turned his scarred, ugly face towards Sato Shinichi and said slowly.
“I was wondering…”
“If it would be interesting to destroy the things you risk your life to protect?”
