"Why do I have to follow you?" Angela stared at Haru with an inexplicable gaze.
"You ask me? Then who am I going to ask?" Haru asked and walked slowly on the street in Russia. He had to admit the temperature in this country was quite cold, but compared to Ice Hell in the world of Toriko, it was nothing.
Angela looked at Haru and let out a sigh. She knew that she was being sent out by Edward, especially when Edward knew that Haru was going to fight against the head of the Russia Branch, Vasilisa.
After Angela came to Japan, she and Haru used Mari's teleportation ability to go to Russia, but even though they had arrived in Russia, it didn't mean they could meet Vasilisa immediately since Mari could only use her teleportation based on two conditions.
One was to teleport to the person that she knew, and in Russia, Mari didn't know much of people, or rather she didn't know anyone. She might have heard Thunder Empress, but she had never seen her.
Then the second condition was that Mari had been in that place.
If either the condition was met, then Mari couldn't use her ability. Luckily, she had been in Russia for a while, and she directly teleported both Haru and Angela to a downtown area around Vladivostok, Russia.
In truth, Haru asked Mari to help him teleport him to one of the headquarters of Russia, but everyone quickly stopped him since they didn't expect that he would be so reckless so, in the end, Mari teleported him to Vladivostok, which was a major Pacific port city in Russia.
Angela, who walked beside Haru, couldn't help but glance at him, and she had to admit that if she wasn't in love with Edward, then she would be tempted by him, but more than that, it wasn't the time to think something like that since there was something more important, happening around them at this moment.
"Haru, is it only me, or does it seem that the crowd is becoming less and less?" Angela might not have realized it before, but after a while, she realized that the crowd around the city seemed to be less than before.
"You're not wrong since I have taunted that bitch, I am sure that she has prepared to welcome me," Haru said and didn't care much about a group of Saviors that had been staring at him for a while, or rather, he was waiting for them to come out, though, if they didn't come out, he was going to have some good food in Russia.
His girlfriend, Eli Ayase, was half Russian, and of course, Haru was also curious about this country.
Before Haru could come to this place alone, but when he thought about it calmly, it was also good to have someone to take care of him, and Angela was a maid and secretary, so it wouldn't be bad if she followed him on his attack on Russia Branch of White Knight Order.
"I'm not sure why, but I have a feeling that you're thinking something rude right now," Angela said while squinting her eyes.
"It's your imagination, but anyway, come closer to me, or else, you will be attacked," Haru said.
"What?"
Angela was stunned then and stopped her movement, but at the same time, there was someone that attacked her in the dark. She didn't have time to respond, but then her waist was hugged, and her assailant was kicked without mercy then crashed into the next building.
*BOOOOOOOM!!*
"...."
The condition of the assailant was unknown, but one thing for sure, after this assailant failed, a group of people came out, and this group of people was led by a huge man that was holding a surfboard.
Angela was still in shock, but then she heard his voice.
"Angela, are you alright with me hugging you?"
"!!!"
Angela quickly escaped from Haru's arms and pushed him away with a blush on her face. "You perverted kid! What are you doing?!"
"..."
Haru was speechless and said, "But if I didn't do that, you will be hurt. Shouldn't you thank me or something?"
"..."
Angela knew that Haru was right, so she looked away and said "thank you" in a low voice since she was very shy when she thought about what had happened before. She had come to help him, yet she was the one that was being helped.
"Well, the fish has taken the bait. You don't need to worry too much," Haru said in the Russian language, which made Angela confused, but the members of Russia Branch of White Knight Order on Vladivostok frowned.
They knew very well that the assassin that attacked Angela before was one of the best assassins in this country, but Haru easily defeated him.
Vasilisa had told them before that they needed to kill this man no matter what, so that what they were going to do.
"Kasugano Haruka, I am Bernard Sergeivich Ignasevich, and I will stop you in the name of Thunder Empress!"
Bernard and his men quickly dashed toward Haru and Angela, holding their weapons with clear intent.
"Kasugano!"
Angela was about to prepare for the battle, but her shoulder was patted by Haru.
"Calm down, it is just a small fry, you don't need to work up," Haru said, then used a "Haoshoku Haki" directly and made all of them pass out directly with foam on their mouths, except for one person, which was Edward.
"Ugh!"
Edward couldn't move, and he stopped his steps, feeling his back and chest were very heavy as if there was a mountain on the top of it.
"This...!?"
Angela was in shock and asked, "Is this your ability?"
"Yeah, come on, let's get information from one of them," Haru said and walked toward a group of people.
"....."
Angela looked at Haru's back with a complicated gaze. She knew, or she pretended that she didn't know, or she didn't want to admit, but Haru was stronger than Edward, who was the strongest Savior in the UK.
"Wait for me, Kasugano!"
When Angela saw that Haru had come to one of the Russian Saviors, she also quickly followed.
Haru looked at Bernard, who seemed to be the leader of the Savior in this city, directly asked him, but he didn't expect that this guy would try to mock him.
"Do you know where that bitch is?" Haru asked.
"...What's your mouth, or--" Bernard was furious when Haru called out the name of his leader as a bitch, but his mouth was kicked directly by Haru, and he almost cut down his tongue with his own teeth because of that kick which made him linger in fear.
"You... are you going to kill him, Kasugano?" Angela asked since she didn't expect that Haru would be cruel toward the enemy.
"Angela, in truth, I don't have much patience toward a man, especially the enemy, if the opponent is a beautiful girl then, I might be gentle, even if they're rude, unfortunately, this guy is a man, and he's very rude so I will just use a hypnosis on him," Haru said and directly used his "light magic" on Bernard to hypnosis him since he was too lazy to use torture to ask him a question, and it also took a long time, he also didn't really like torture. He could use another ability such as "Heaven's Door," but he didn't want to show all of his ability.
"..."
Angela was stunned, especially when she saw how Bernard responded to Haru's question. "Perverted brat."
Haru asked Bernard a question, but this guy didn't seem to know the location of Vasilisa, so he threw him away to the ground like everyone.
"What are we going to do after this?" Angela asked.
"We're going to Khabarovsk," Haru said.
Angela then glanced at the group of Saviors and asked, "You're not killing them?"
"Why should I?" Haru asked.
"I mean... they might leak our whereabouts," Angela said since she thought that they would be like assassins, attacking the Thunder Empress in silence and surprise.
"Of course not, even if they know about our whereabouts, it is useless since they won't be able to do anything to me, or rather, it is better for them to send out as much as people to us since that way, I can give more damage to that bitch," Haru said.
"...You know... you might be the only person that can call out Thunder Empress a bitch," Angela said with a tired sigh.
"You know Angela. You also call her a bitch," Haru said.
"...If I am being targeted by the Russian Branch, you need to take responsibility, alright?" Angela said while looking at Haru.
"If you want, I can be responsible for you for the rest of your life," Haru said sincerely.
Angela was almost staggered when she heard Haru's words, and at the same time, she felt that she needed to meet Edward as soon as possible or else...
"Wait a moment, let me destroy the headquarters in this city."
Haru knew that there were no people at the headquarters in this city because of his Kenbunshoku Haki, so he decided to destroy it.
Angela followed Haru's gaze and looked at the sky, looking at the sky with a confused expression. She looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Wait a moment."
Angela raised her eyebrows then suddenly saw something come out of from the cloud, and it dropped toward the ground at a very fast speed. She opened her mouth wide and could tell what it was.
"Meteorite?"
*BOOOOOOM!*
The headquarters of the White Knight Order in this city was destroyed.
"..."
Angela was stuck there and couldn't comprehend what was happening until her shoulder was patted.
"Angela, let's go."
"Um..."
Angela felt that it was better to give up thinking since the more she thought, the more tired she was. Walking beside him, strangely enough, she didn't feel fear toward the Thunder Empress, but she was wondering what this young man was about to do in this land.
