Chapter 1810 - King?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

In just a minute, the Parasites grew increasingly weaker.

Finally, Tamiya cut off the head of one of the Parasites with her tentacle, and the group started to fall apart.

Under the horrified gazes of the Parasites, she cut off their heads one by one.

Seven bodies lay on the ground, and only a despairing Murata was left.

Tamiya didn't follow the Japanese tradition of pausing to say goodbye before killing the enemy boss.

She had already said what she needed to say.

She flicked her tentacle and was about to cut Murata in half.

At that moment, she felt a strong force push her tentacle aside, and it sent her down the stairs to coincidentally land on the couch in the living room.

Stunned for a moment, Murata then rejoiced and turned around to run.

Tamiya immediately got up, planning to take care of Murata before he ran out of attack range.

Unexpectedly, another strong force pushed her back down.

Tamiya calmly looked around, but didn't find anything unusual.

She frowned. "Come out. I see you."

Two seconds later, she heard a tiny but clear voice. "Miss Tamiya, please look out the left window."

She immediately turned around, only to see the curtain. Nobody was there.

"Oh, I don't think you saw me." There was a smile in the voice, and it disappeared after that.

Putting away the tentacle, there was finally some bewilderment on Tamiya's face.

Phil couldn't hear Luke's 'secret transmission,' but when he looked at Tamiya, he couldn't help but want to laugh at her falling for such an old trick.

"That Murata probably won't dare appear again for the time being, right?" he asked casually.

Luke, who had just used Telekinesis to stop Tamiya twice, said casually, "It's inconvenient for her to do anything during the day, so Murata only needs to worry about her at night. Now that Tamiya is out in the open and Murata is in the dark, there's still a chance for revenge."

Phil: …You make it sound like you're willing to let Tamiya die.

This was the 'tool' that had been reserved for him. If she were killed, wouldn't that be a slap to Big Dipper's face?

After exchanging words on the team channel, they left.

Phil had only been worried that Tamiya would hunt Murata down and kill him.

It seemed that he had been overthinking it. Tamiya thought nothing of that idiot at all.

Calling Murata an idiot wasn't an understatement.

The best way to deal with an opponent like Tamiya was to ambush and kill her without giving her a chance to say anything.

However, Murata wanted to kill her to establish his dominance, so he had to say something to her before the fight.

Who would have thought that Tamiya was the one who was qualified to do the posturing, while Murata was nothing more than trash.

…

As the new director, Phil had a lot on his plate.

After watching this farce, he didn't stay any longer and left that very night.

The Bat Squad, the Avengers and New SHIELD had a joint agreement. Information would be exchanged every day, and they could back each other up in an emergency.

Since Phil had promised to help the Bat Squad clean up the Parasites, he had to send the 100 agents over as soon as possible.

As for Tamiya, Luke said that he would deal with her later, so Phil didn't have to worry at all.

Luke had estimated that the operation to eliminate the Japanese Parasites would start in a week or two, but who would have thought that Murata would appear again just three days after he was defeated, directly pushing forward Luke's plan.

Luke received a surveillance alert. By the time two people and one dog put on their armor and rushed to Shinichi Izumi's house, the unlucky high school student had already fallen.

Murata picked up Shinichi Izumi and turned to look at the other 'person.' "Your Majesty, with him around, Tamiya definitely won't run."

An ordinary-looking salaryman around 25 years old nodded. "Take him. We're leaving."

More than twenty Parasites escorted this man out as they headed for Ryoko Tamiya's house.

Observing the salaryman from a distance, Selina found it strange. "Is that the new king of the Parasites? From our investigation, there's an 80% chance that he's the new king."

The reason for the remaining 20% was that they couldn't confirm anything, and there were no other leads.

But Murata had found this person so quickly.

Pondering for a moment, Luke then said, "We'll find out soon enough. If Murata is just relying on numbers, he's dead tonight for sure."

Selina immediately got it.

The reason Luke hadn't killed Murata was because of the latter's setting as a 'tool.'

Now that he had caught Shinichi Izumi and wanted to take down Tamiya, there was no value in his continued existence.

The plan to eliminate the Parasites had already been finalized, and the 100 agents from New SHIELD had arrived in Tokyo two days ago.

Their team had mucked around long enough in Japan, and was ready to leave; it wasn't a bad thing to earn some credit points in passing.

Selina immediately asked, "Should I send a message and get everyone ready for action?"

Luke nodded. "Send it."

Selina quickly sent the message and received responses from the New SHIELD agents as well as all the members of the Bat Squad who were in Japan. Even Frank and Alice accepted the commission.

The mental control terminal and the androids were already in place. They just needed to 'go online' in the safe house; after that, they could return to the hotel to sleep.

After sending the message, Selina couldn't help but make a request. "After this is over, can we go to the onsen one more time before we go home?"

Luke was amused. "The one in the snow?"

Selina nodded hard. "It would be best if it's during the day, when there aren't many people on the mountains."

Luke said, "No problem. As long as you hand your wallet over, getting an onsen to yourself won't be a problem."

After her request was approved, Director Selina didn't say anything else.

…

Shinichi Izumi's house was close to Tokyo West High School. After Tamiya applied to be a chemistry teacher there, she settled down about a kilometer away in the area.

The Parasites didn't drive. They walked through alleys and avoided most cameras.

Selina clicked her tongue. "These guys adapt too well. If we gave them another year, they would be at least ten times harder to find."

Luke agreed. "At that time, they wouldn't gather on such a large scale. It would take ten times as long to take down scattered targets."

At that moment, the group of Parasites arrived at the house.

This time, Murata had learned his lesson. Instead of going in, he had the Parasites surround Tamiya's house first.

Then, he pointed at her bedroom.

The salaryman nodded indifferently. He suddenly took a running leap to break through the bedroom window.

Inside, Tamiya was suddenly sent flying out of the room.

"A powerful enemy incoming from the window." Luke, who was hiding on the side, used his Telekinesis to move her, and he sent her a secret transmission at the same time.

Tamiya's eyes flashed, and she opened her mouth. A sharp tentacle stretched out as she entered battle mode.
