"Settle?"
Kobayashi Itsuki blinked, looking at the message from the system panel and said.
[Ding! You have met Tamaoh Nakamure. Current relationship is white.]
[Congratulations, Host, you have received a White Treasure Chest * 1.]
Good heavens, looking down on him, huh? Treating him like a small fry, not even a hint of ill will.
"Of course. The two of you previously ruined our plans. We didn't pursue it, but you two kept pestering us, constantly investigating us."
"That's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"
Saying this, Tamaoh Nakamure glanced at the two of them indifferently and turned around.
"Deal with them. The plan cannot afford any mishaps."
Hearing Tamaoh Nakamure's words, Satake and Majo sneered and rubbed their fists, walking towards Kobayashi Itsuki and Higashimatsuyama Yone.
"Don't worry, we'll treat you well."
"We'll imprison you, and absolutely won't let you ruin things again."
Majo said chilling words, waving the ribbon in her hand, preparing to make a move.
Seeing this, Kobayashi Itsuki turned his head to look at Higashimatsuyama Yone.
"Yone, in a situation where I'm being kidnapped and my personal safety is threatened, I should be legally defending myself and not be held legally responsible, right?"
Higashimatsuyama Yone was startled, seemingly not expecting Kobayashi Itsuki to ask such a thing at this moment.
But she still subconsciously nodded, "Yes, this is considered legitimate self-defense; you will not be held legally responsible."
Hearing this, Kobayashi Itsuki smiled faintly.
Satake snorted disdainfully and squeezed his fist, which was the size of a sandbag.
"Stop telling jokes here. If you want to boast, pick the right time and place."
After he finished speaking, bursts of laughter immediately rang out around them.
However, facing the crowd's laughter, Kobayashi Itsuki remained completely unfazed.
With a light flip of his hand, like the most skilled magician, a bottle of earthen yellow potion appeared in his grasp.
The potion bottle wasn't large, about the size of a fist.
The earthen yellow liquid inside seemed to possess life, continuously churning within the bottle.
Elixir of Iron!
It would let Kobayashi Itsuki regain his prowess and become a Superman for fifteen minutes!
In front of everyone, Kobayashi Itsuki twisted open the cap and began pouring the contents into his mouth.
Seeing this, although the surrounding people didn't know what the item was, they knew that anything he brought out at this moment definitely wasn't good.
Majo immediately made her move, sending the ribbon in her hand toward the bottle in Kobayashi Itsuki's hand, trying to stop him.
However, what she failed to notice was the smile in Kobayashi Itsuki's eyes.
The Elixir of Iron produced by the System could take effect by being consumed in the most primitive way, or it could be used directly through the System, requiring only confirmation in his mind.
Therefore, Kobayashi Itsuki didn't have to worry about being interrupted or losing his chance.
Just as the ribbon was about to wrap around the bottle, everyone was startled to see the bottle in Kobayashi Itsuki's hand suddenly vanish.
Then, he fiercely grabbed the ribbon Majo had thrown, a brilliant smile blooming on his face.
"Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Kobayashi Itsuki, and you are all trash."
That casual sentence immediately ignited everyone's emotions.
But the next second, Kobayashi Itsuki, gripping the ribbon—which was as sharp as a cleaver and capable of easily cutting ingredients—tightly in his hand, gave it a sudden, fierce tug!
Majo's slender figure instantly staggered toward Kobayashi Itsuki like a kite with a broken string.
Majo seemed not to have expected Kobayashi Itsuki, who had been so compliant just moments before, to suddenly attack.
However, despite her shock, she was not flustered.
As a member of the Tamayomi clan, although Majo was not a specialized bodyguard like Satake, her skill was no worse.
Using the force of Kobayashi Itsuki's pull, Majo shot directly toward Kobayashi Itsuki.
As she closed the distance, her slender jade leg mercilessly kicked toward Kobayashi Itsuki's groin.
"Watch out!"
Higashimatsuyama Yone cried out upon seeing this, wanting to rush forward to stop Majo.
However, the short distance meant it was already too late.
Watching Majo arrive in front of Kobayashi Itsuki, who seemed completely unresponsive, Higashimatsuyama Yone watched helplessly as Majo delivered a fierce kick between Kobayashi Itsuki's legs.
Seeing this scene, all the men present subconsciously tightened their legs, and even the women felt a phantom limb pain.
Just as Majo's leg connected, a sharp crack suddenly rang out.
"Crack."
It sounded exactly like something breaking.
Simultaneously, a miserable shriek followed.
Higashimatsuyama Yone, standing beside Kobayashi Itsuki, was about to pull Majo away.
Instead, she saw the woman clutching her own leg and screaming wretchedly.
Meanwhile, Kobayashi Itsuki beside her wore a calm and composed expression, showing none of the pain expected from a hit to such a vital area.
"Itsuki, you..."
Higashimatsuyama Yone was utterly bewildered by the sight.
"I told you, just trust me," Kobayashi Itsuki teased, winking at Higashimatsuyama Yone.
Then, without another word, he yanked Majo toward him and raised a fist, smashing it into her lower back.
"Crack."
The crisp sound was accompanied by an even more mournful shriek.
Under Kobayashi Itsuki's attack, Majo slumped down like a puddle of mud, completely unable to move, only capable of letting out continuous screams.
Having rendered Majo completely immobile in a single move, Kobayashi Itsuki flashed a sinister smile at the onlookers, then charged out like a fierce tiger descending the mountain.
The first target he dealt with was Satake.
Although Satake was Tamaoh Nakamure's bodyguard and a professional wrestler, his personal strength was formidable, definitely counting him among the elite of ordinary people.
But in the face of Kobayashi Itsuki's three-times enhanced physical attributes, he was still too childish.
Just like Majo, he was knocked down instantly, requiring only a single exchange.
His robust physique was completely useless.
With one punch, Kobayashi Itsuki fractured Satake's arm, then struck him on the spine, knocking him unconscious.
Taking down two people in an instant, this swift skill not only stunned Higashimatsuyama Yone but also shocked Tamaoh Nakamure, who had been completely composed moments before.
She knew Satake's strength best.
Yet now, he had been instantly defeated by this young man.
Tamaoh Nakamure, who had been full of contempt for the pair from the start, now felt a surge of vigilance toward the young man before her.
"Go, all of you!"
[Ding! Tamaoh Nakamure's ill-will has increased. You have acquired 1 green treasure chest.]
The command rang out simultaneously with the notification beside his ear.
Kobayashi Itsuki pulled Higashimatsuyama Yone into his embrace and charged toward Tamaoh Nakamure.
