chapter 141 part 2
Saying that, Pirate Ren Arakawa quickly ran back to his room and took out five precious antidote vials, "You and Ivankov each take two, and the remaining one, give it to the old man in the first cell."
"Also, the sword I stole..."
"He will be the absolute main force of our prison break this time."
---
The deserted street, a scene of desolation.
Due to the extensive searches for Ren Arakawa in recent days, coupled with the fact that many people had indeed died by the blades of the crazy masked killers, the townspeople largely stayed indoors if they could.
But there was one exceptional team.
A group of three.
The leader held a hamburger.
The other two, meanwhile, wore expressions of utter dejection.
Li Shuaixi looked at Ren Arakawa's back, then at Blond Fei Bao beside him, and softly muttered, "Why do I feel like something's off? Is he really taking us to earn points?"
"I feel something's off too, especially that guy named Chu Xuan. When he watched us leave the police station, I felt a chill, a bit like that rich second-generation kid I used to bully..."
"Don't even mention it, I also feel it. Should we just run?"
"Run? Where to? We might run into people from the other two teams, and then we'd be finished!"
As the two spoke, Ren Arakawa suddenly stopped.
"We're here."
Hearing Ren Arakawa's voice, the two looked up.
The result was that in that instant, both of them felt utterly doomed!
Their gaze fell upon several individuals dressed in East Asian attire.
Additionally, there was a group of strangely dressed white people.
No need to think further, these were clearly the other two Reincarnation Squads.
"I've brought the people." Ren Arakawa spread his hands, "But don't be in a hurry, because if you want this reincarnation to end smoothly without too much loss, you have to follow the agreement."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuaixi panicked.
What agreement? What was he going to do?
Tian Cangmu, the East Sea Team Leader who had once confronted Ren Arakawa, bowed slightly, "Team China Leader, my East Sea Team will honor our promise. If you are truly willing to hand over your two teammates for me to deal with, then my Team's points will reach a relatively healthy number."
"Of course, 'healthy' doesn't mean no loss, but that would be my Team's own disadvantage, irrelevant to your esteemed Team."
As Tian Cangmu spoke, Tanaka Jusuke, the Three-Sword Style user behind him, and two individuals, including Xiao Gou Zhen Xiong, who had been enhanced by the Toguro Brothers, all deliberately avoided Ren Arakawa's gaze.
It seemed their own team hadn't even reached a consensus, and at this moment, they just wanted two "free" head points.
On the other side, the North Arctic Team was momentarily confused, seeing Team China and the East Sea Team reach an agreement so easily.
Ren Arakawa spread his hands, "Then, North Arctic Team, your Team should also hand over two members for the East Sea Team to kill. This way, our three Teams' scores will be roughly similar, you won't lose much, and there will be a reward for the kills. And the ones lost will all be Newcomers."
At this point, Li Shuaixi and Fei Bao bristled!
"Hey! Damn it! How could you sell me out!" Li Shuaixi pointed at Ren Arakawa's back and cursed loudly. As soon as he started, Ren Arakawa's shuriken shot into his leg.
"You two, utter another word, and I'll have them act directly, with no room for negotiation."
Li Shuaixi's eyes were filled with hatred, while Blond Fei Bao beside him was already scared stiff.
Ren Arakawa looked up; the East Sea Team was already negotiating with the North Arctic Team.
"North Arctic Team, Team China is so sincere; why aren't you handing over your members yet?" Tanaka Jusuke, the Three-Sword Style user, roared, "Hand them over!"
Tian Cangmu, meanwhile, played the good cop, "Even the North Arctic Team needs to discuss who will be the sacrifice for this reincarnation. Don't rush, don't be impatient."
Seeing how easily Chu Xuan's plan for dissension between the East Sea and North Arctic succeeded, Ren Arakawa sighed inwardly, grateful that Chu Xuan was on his side.
This was just the first step for that guy.
Next, Chu Xuan still had a trump card.
A safe return? How could that be Chu Xuan's habit?
He wouldn't rest until he maximized his benefits. It was a rare Team Battle, and if he didn't kill eleven people, he wouldn't be able to sleep.
Sure enough, faced with the proposal to hand over members and thus suffer punishment upon return, the North Arctic Team was displeased.
It wasn't that they had deep feelings for the Newcomers; primarily, they deeply mistrusted the East Sea Team's character, believing that handing over members would be equivalent to giving away valuable points for nothing.
At this moment, Chu Xuan, who had been eavesdropping using a communicator, spoke.
"You can begin."
As soon as his voice fell, Ren Arakawa spread his wings.
"East Sea Team! The North Arctic Team isn't cooperating, let's take their Newcomer points first, then talk cooperation! I'll hold back their Team Leader!"
At these words, North Arctic was dumbfounded, and the East Sea Team's eyes lit up!
Such good fortune?
North Arctic Team Leader Ganniel immediately flared with anger!
After all this back and forth, he had calculated everything clearly. First, helping Team China fight East Sea, and now East Sea helping them fight *themselves*?
Why was North Arctic always the one getting hurt?
Drury, the wise man behind Ganniel, slapped his forehead, "We've been tricked! We should have handed them over!"
But it was already too late now. Just now, they only needed to hand over two people; now, it would be more than that.
Seeing Ren Arakawa truly charge directly at Ganniel, Tian Cangmu also charged straight into the North Arctic Team.
As for Tanaka Jusuke, the Three-Sword Style user, and Xiao Gou Zhen Xiong, there was no need to mention them; they were more eager than anyone.
After all, the reward points and side quests gained from killing members of other teams were theirs to keep!
Just as the North Arctic Team was fleeing in disarray, and the East Sea Team was about to unleash a massacre—
Ren Arakawa, who was in front of Ganniel, suddenly vanished, turning into an afterimage!
The person, where is the person?!
Just as Ganniel was bewildered, a scream erupted from the back ranks of the East Sea Team!
Ren Arakawa's arm locked around Jing Kong, his tail feathers aimed at her temple!
This sudden turn of events made both the North Arctic and East Sea Teams stop in their tracks!
"You! You! Ahahahah!" Tian Cangmu stomped his foot in frustration, "You villain! You broke your word and betrayed us!"
Ren Arakawa's nose greedily sniffed at the hair and ear of Teacher Cang, a doting expression on his face, "You can keep your Newcomers, but I'm taking her with me first."
