"Don't run!" Hattori Heiji chased after him immediately.
"Heiji!" Kazuha stamped her foot and followed.
Heiji's swordsmanship was decent, but he was no match for him in unarmed combat. He went off alone to chase after that masked monster who looked formidable—
It will definitely be very dangerous!
Kazuha thought to herself, although Hattori Heiji's performance disappointed her, she couldn't just leave him alone, could she?
"What's going on?" After the two figures disappeared, Hideko Kamijou looked at Akiko Sayama in surprise:
"Do you have other accomplices?"
"I do not know either!"
Akiko Sayama's eyes flickered, clearly indicating that she had thought of something, but she obviously didn't want to tell Hideko Kamijou.
"I'm going back to my room now. About what I said earlier—sorry!"
"Don't say that~" Hideko Kamijou said with a smile on her lips, but there was no disappointment in her beautiful eyes.
"I came here to obtain the Dark Night Duke program and then destroy it. Now that it no longer exists, I can rest assured."
Aren't you going to report me?
Akiko Sayama stopped in her tracks, a look of confusion in her eyes.
"Giggle~" Hideko Kamijou covered her mouth and laughed.
"Forget it, the first person to know the truth didn't speak out, so I have no right to report you!"
"Furthermore, he also told me, 'When justice goes unpunished, revenge is necessary!' Although it's a bit unbelievable for someone of his status to say something like that, I think it makes a lot of sense."
"Thank you~"
Akiko Sayama glanced at her indifferently, returned to her room, and opened the door to find the lights on but no one inside.
Satoshi Maeda, who was supposed to be in the room, was nowhere to be found.
Sure enough it was him!
Akiko Sayama pursed her lips.
Although the Duke of Darkness did not speak or make any unnecessary movements.
But as the person she knew best, Akiko Sayama recognized him at a glance—Satoshi Maeda.
He must have discovered his own secret, which is why he thought of impersonating the Duke of Darkness to clear his name. What a fool!
But what should we do now?
After thinking for a moment, she stood up and left the room.
They knocked on Hideko Kamijou's door.
.......
On the other side, Hattori Heiji and Kazuha finally lost track of the person dressed as the Dark Duke.
There was nothing they could do; even combined, their skills were at least ten times worse than the other person's.
Even when the police came to help intercept them, they still managed to escape easily and eventually disappeared into the darkness below.
Officer Yokomizo and his team searched for a long time but found nothing. They also learned that the officer guarding the evidence room had been attacked.
The Dark Duke's cloak, mask, and wig, which were kept there, were all missing, so it was decided to summon all relevant personnel for questioning again.
At this point, half an hour had passed since the Dark Night Duke's appearance.
Time goes back half an hour.
In the presidential suite on the top floor.
On the sofa in the living room, Xia Ye turned on the TV. Xiao Lan hugged his arm and leaned gently on his shoulder, her pretty face serene. On the other side, Sonoko knelt on the sofa, took Xia Ye's hand and shook it: "Xia Ye, do you think Kazuha looks a lot like Xiao Lan?"
"It does look somewhat like it—"
As Xia Ye watched the news report that the Suzuki family's rescue ship was about to reach the small island in the Pacific Ocean where the victims were, she casually remarked:
"However, she's not as cute as our Xiaolan~"
"Pfft—" Xiao Lan gently punched him with her pink fist, speaking softly and coquettishly:
"You don't need to sweet-talk me. I'm already yours, so just give me a perfunctory answer."
"That won't do!" Xia Ye had one hand on each of the two sisters, so she could only turn her head and peck Xiao Lan's rosy and cute face, a mischievous smile on her face: "Appropriate sweet words are the key to maintaining a relationship, besides—"
"I haven't officially won you over yet!"
"You bad guy!~"
Xiao Lan's pretty face flushed red.
She certainly knew what Xia Ye meant.
After all, this was the purpose of her and Sonoko's trip.
Now, hearing Xia Ye say this...
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, glistening with a misty haze.
Even with Sonoko beside her, she bravely looked at Natsume, then raised her little face and gently closed her eyes.
Xia Ye was somewhat surprised by her boldness, but then smiled gently and lowered her head with tender eyes.
"Chirp~~~~~~"
"I said—!"
"Isn't it my turn?"
Sonoko saw the two of them kissing so passionately that she didn't disturb them. After all, Ran was her best friend, so what was wrong with letting her kiss a little longer?
However, isn't this taking too long?
"You brat, what's the rush!"
Xiaolan removed her hands from Xia Ye's neck. Facing her closest best friend and sister in every sense of the word, she had no reason to be reserved. Her beautiful light blue eyes swept over the garden with a charming look, and she huffed, "First come, first served, don't you know that?"
"Well, you little ingrate!"
Sonoko lunged forward and pinched that once innocent and adorable face, now so hateful, and said fiercely:
"Now you've learned how to steal men, huh?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Lan wasn't going to back down either, reaching out to tickle her waist, trying to provoke her:
"What's wrong? Can't you just grab it?"
"Ah!" Sonoko's waist was her weak point. After being tickled by Ran, she immediately became weak and collapsed limply onto Natsume.
However, Sonoko wasn't one to back down. She quickly grabbed Natsume's shoulder and pressed her face against his, moaning, "Mua! Mua! Mua! Mua! Mua!"
With time running out, they made up for it with quantity. After kissing several times, Sonoko looked at Ran with a smug expression.
"It's just stealing a man, of course I can do that!"
"I'm telling you, you two are best friends, don't let me ruin your friendship~" Xia Ye wrapped her arms around them and pulled them into her embrace, "We must make peace! @#¥¥%..."
Ran and Sonoko pinched his face from both sides, turning his words into a jumbled mess.
The two sisters sat up, clasped their hands together, and gave Xia Ye a playful glare, giggling, "Just kidding! We would never fight. If we ever fight because of you, hmph! We'll kick you out and live our own lives!"
"How dare you play me!"
"Watch how I deal with you!"
Xia Ye was "furious" and reached out to grab something, a hint of lewdness appearing on his handsome face.
Ran and Sonoko ran off laughing, but turned back and waved to Natsume, "Come and catch us!"
How dare she provoke me! Can Xia Ye tolerate this?
He got up and chased after Xiaolan!
After a period of playful banter, Xiaolan was fine. Although Xia Ye took advantage of her from time to time, she was having a great time. Yuanzi, on the other hand, was in a bad situation. With her terrible athletic ability, she was quickly caught by Xia Ye and severely "disciplined". She could only put on a pleading expression and raise her hands to beg for mercy!
"Surrender, surrender!"
"Let me rest for a bit and have some water, my mouth is dry!"
"Me too, my lips are all chapped!"
"—You're still the best!"
On the sofa, two young girls were lying down in a very unladylike manner, and then—
"Sonoko, you're too weak!"
"Xiao Lan, do you think everyone is like you?!"
"You need to exercise, otherwise you'll always hold me back!"
"Hmph, I won't!"
Xia Ye placed two glasses of water in front of them, squatted down, and watched them bicker, a smug smile on her face.
"Now you know how powerful that is, right?"
"Hehe~" The two girls lazily looked up and snorted, "You think you look good right now? Take a look in the mirror!"
"Hmm?" Xia Ye seemed thoughtful, reaching out to touch her cheek. Sure enough, the light pink lipstick on her finger was clearly visible—
"Hahaha!" Ran and Sonoko hugged each other and giggled, "This was given to us by Nozomi-neechan before we went out to play. You're so glad you used it now. If you had it printed on while you were out, hmph—"
"What are you humming about?" Xia Ye said with a half-smile.
"You think I care about this? Besides, seeing this, other people are probably envious!"
"Xia Ye, you're so shameless!" Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi exclaimed. "No wonder—"
"Ding~"
The notification sound from her phone interrupted their conversation. Xia Ye took out her phone, glanced at it, frowned slightly, and then said:
"Ran, Sonoko, I'm going out for a bit."
"Good~"
Ran and Sonoko didn't ask him what he was doing outside; they figured he'd tell them when he got back.
The two stood up hand in hand, obediently straightening Xia Ye's clothes, wiping the "marks" from his face with a wet wipe, and after looking him over, they said:
"Xia Ye, you go ahead, we're going to take a shower first~"
"Then wait for me to come back~"
Xia Ye pinched their little cheeks, then pushed open the door and went out.
It seems I need to resolve this matter quickly. Walking down the corridor, Xia Ye's lips curled slightly. Tonight is probably going to be a sleepless night!
Chapter 292 The "Reward" Paid by Akiko Sayama to Natsume~
The presidential suite has a private direct elevator.
All service floors are directly accessible, but to get to other rooms in the hotel, you need to go to the first floor and take a regular elevator.
That's a bit of a miscalculation.
Too lazy to bother, Xia Ye turned around, pushed open the exhaust window, and jumped straight off the 37th floor.
The whistling wind swept past me.
The crosswinds at high altitudes were indeed very strong. Even wearing the Spider Suit, he still only weighed a little over 100 pounds, and the wind easily changed his direction.
However, this also saved him some trouble—
Because after rappelling down fifteen floors, right below you is Hideko Kamijou's room 2102~
The spider silk was shot out to slow down the speed.
Xia Ye landed on the balcony with a "thud".
He removed the spider mask and waved to the two stunned women in the room.
"My God!"
