Oceans of people filled the streets. Their voices echoed through the air like flies. Women in seductive clothes stood in front of the shop, trying to attract male customers. Rows of buildings with colourful light lined up on the street, dazzling the pedestrians.

This was how Kabukicho was.

Isaac and Guo Chen slipped among the hundreds of humans who were looking for pleasure.

There were a lot of foreigners with European looks and dark skin crowding the street. They were overseas Hunters hired by the Japanese government to carry out Dungeon Clearance.

“Brothers, what exactly are we looking for in this noisy and crowded place?”

Guo Chen didn’t expect that Isaac would have a friend in a place like this.

“Hm… an old friend, maybe.”

Actually, Isaac wasn’t sure how to call the person he was looking for. Their relationship was brief, more like a temporary cooperative relationship.

When his dungeon was destroyed, before meeting Gavin Bael, Isaac wandered aimlessly throughout China. His existence as a Dungeon Master was revealed all over the world, and Isaac was deemed as a dangerous scourge for mankind.

If Isaac remembered it again, he would say it was the lowest point in his life. Having no troops while the Hunters throughout China were eyeing his life. He could only run.

The only hope he had was getting out of China. However, with enemies on all sides, it was difficult for him to escape. Thus, he needed someone or a syndicate to smuggle him out of China.

Finally, Isaac met a gangster who promised to send him out of China. Of course, Isaac didn’t believe it. After he had killed tens of thousands of humans, there was no way they would just let him go. However, Isaac still followed the gangster’s game because he was confident that he could beat them all.

When Isaac was about to be smuggled to Russia, the Hunter Association troops had waited for him in the border area. Luckily, he managed to escape, although he was seriously injured and failed to get out of China.

At a time, when he was seriously injured, and many people hunted him down, there was one human who was willing to help him.

Even though Isaac didn’t know the motive, he believed in that person. Isaac could tell if someone was lying or not by hearing their heartbeat.

In the end, it was that human who managed to smuggle Isaac to Russia. Of course, it was not free. In exchange, Isaac had to pay 3 kilograms of Power Crystal.

Since then, he never saw that human again, until the end of the game.

As Isaac recalled, the last conversation they had had was about each other’s backgrounds. The man told Isaac that he lived in Tokyo before he stayed in China.

Isaac felt the need to make the man his subordinate.

“Brothers, we’ve been circling the area for two hours. Don’t you know the address where he lives?”

Guo Chen started to complain. The two of them had gone in circles and returned to the same place several times. However, they still couldn’t find the person Isaac was looking for. Even during that time, they had encountered eight fights.

Meanwhile, Isaac paid no heed to Guo Chen’s complaints. He kept walking, looking for suspicious-looking business locations. The only clue he knew of Haruno Taji’s whereabouts was in the Ryudo Family.

In the midst of their search, the sky dropped water droplets. The frequency of water droplets was getting higher and higher, and not long after, it became heavy rains.

The crowd began to disperse, some entering shops or buildings, some choosing to leave the location.

“Brother, we should take shelter.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

As they were about to take shelter, the sound of broken glass was heard.

Pyar!

Isaac and Guo Chen glanced at the source.

A man laid in pain in the middle of the road. In front of the man was a two-story building 20 metres high. One of the windows in the building looked broken.

It wasn’t long before someone jumped through the second-floor window and landed smoothly on the asphalt.

The man was wearing all black clothes and an Oni mask. He was holding a dagger. At first glance, he looked like a ninja.

Isaac smiled broadly when he saw the man.

“Guo Chen, I’ve found my old friend.”

After the man’s appearance, it wasn’t long before fifteen people carrying Katanas came out of the building. They all surrounded the Oni masked man.

From Isaac’s observations, they were all Hunters. However, they didn’t hunt monsters; they hunted humans. There were many humans who died at their hands. So there was no doubt in every swing of their Katanas.

“You bastard! This is the Ryudo Family’s Gambling House! How dare you seek trouble with us! Don’t expect us to let you live!”

The man in a unique motif shirt cursing while brandishing his Katana. He was the leader of the group.

Yet the Oni masked man didn’t seem afraid of the man’s threat, he even challenged him back.

“I came to bring destruction to the Ryudo Family.”

Then, all the Ryudo Family members attacked him at once. Instantly, bloodshed was inevitable.

Five men took turns swinging their Katanas, trying to slash the masked man’s head.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

p But all the deadly attacks were dodged and blocked.

“He’s alone! We are five! Quickly kill that person!”

The man in the shirt with a unique motif started to get annoyed. None of his subordinates managed to land an attack on the Oni masked.

The Ryudo Family members were also annoyed that they started attacking more aggressively. They took turns launching attacks.

Swosh! Swosh! Swosh!

The sharp Katana came from all directions, emitting a whooshing sound cutting through the wind.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

All incoming attacks were deflected by the masked man, so the gangsters hurt each other.

“Arrgh!”

Despite winning in numbers, they couldn’t match the masked man.

Now, it was the masked man’s turn to slaughter them.

Slash! Splat!

“Keugh—”

One man was slashed to death.

Stab! Stab! Splat!

Two men were stabbed to death in the stomach.

“Argggh!”

After that, the Ryudo Family members died one by one. Until leaving only the group leader.

“Oh no, this is crazy.”

The last man left looked terrified after seeing all his men die. His fear only deepened when the masked man started walking towards him.

“Please forgive me. I-I’m a… an important person in the R-ryudo Family. I can recommend you to the chairman and make sure you get a good job. J-just say your name.”

The masked man stopped walking. “My name?”

Instantly, the man’s face brightened. “Yes! Your name!”

“I’m Vengeance.”
