Naruto : Sequence 0 Visionary

The two women, suddenly asked this question, stared at Adam with confusion, seemingly not understanding what he meant.

Then, Adam adjusted his glasses, let out a deep sigh, and with a serious expression said, "Now, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Bad news, hurry up!" Freya said, clearly impatient.

"The bad news is..." Adam paused for a moment, his face extremely serious as he continued, "Chu Zihang has been 'hypnotized' and is heading this way."

"…Are you sure you're not joking?" Susie and Freya both gasped, their faces turning pale.

Chu Zihang, an A-ranked bloodline, wielding the dangerous Sequence No. 89, 'King's Blaze', was known for his incredible destructive power. 

Although he was only a freshman, he had already become Professor Schneider's disciple and was the president of the Lionheart Society. He was almost certainly going to be the 'ace' of the Execution Bureau in the future.

In missions, Chu Zihang was calm, efficient, and never made mistakes. Aside from being occasionally violent, which led to significant property damage, he was almost perfect.

But now Adam was telling them that such a top-tier Execution Bureau specialist had been turned into a puppet controlled by the 'enemy'?!

"No, that's impossible!"

Susie immediately refuted, unable to believe this result. "Chu Zihang's bloodline is A-ranked, how could anyone control him?"

Adam didn't argue. Instead, he swiftly stepped forward, propping up a nearby hospital bed and placing it in front of them.

"321."

After the countdown, a raging fire, like a violent dragon, smashed through the hospital room's metal door.

The scorching heat, combined with the shockwaves from the explosion, tore up the floor and walls. Waves of air rushed in, creating an ear-piercing screech that rattled the eardrums of the three behind the bed. The room was filled with smoke and dust, obscuring their vision.

After the initial shock and confusion, the two women looked around at the scorched room and the familiar flames, now there was no denying it.

Zihang is really under control!

Susie and Freya turned to look at Adam beside them at the same time, both asking, "So, what's the good news?"

"The good news is that the killer has shown up," Adam pointed toward the door and said, "He's right outside, a Black guy, about 1.89 meters tall, really strong."

"..."

Susie and Freya's eyes twitched slightly. If it weren't for the situation, they'd probably want to slap this guy.

"Back to the main topic," Adam adjusted his glasses, which had been knocked out of place by the shockwave, and asked seriously, "Do you two have a way to hold off Zihang?"

"Do you think so?!"

Freya replied irritably, "That's Zihang we're talking about! President of the Lionheart Club, an S-rank genius! What am I, some useless piece of trash?"

"With just the three of us, it'll be hard to hold Zihang back."

Susie bit her lip lightly, her eyes showing a hint of worry. "The radio's been jammed again, so we can't ask the command room for backup. We can only temporarily retreat."

"Good idea, but the problem is... it seems he doesn't really want to let us go," Adam shook his head, slowly getting up and gazing at the smoke-filled hospital corridor.

Susie and Freya followed him out from behind their cover, their expressions a little complicated.

Zihang stood in the hallway, holding his alchemy sword, his bangs hanging down to cover his eyes. He looked like a ghost in the mist, silently waiting in the middle of the corridor.

Beside him stood a Black man, about 1.89 meters tall, with a strong and muscular build, dressed in hospital staff clothes. A cruel smile played at the corners of his mouth, and his gaze was filled with aggression. 

He was eyeing the two women by Adam's side, looking them over as though he was undressing them with his eyes.

The man's gaze made Freya and Susie feel extremely uncomfortable. The two women furrowed their brows, and golden light flickered in their eyes.

The man licked his lips, feeling the stir of his bloodline. His pupils turned gold as he spoke, "I didn't expect to find others like me in this world. What exactly are you?"

"Hybrids, the offspring of dragons and humans."

Even in the face of the super-A Rank Chu Zihang, Adam remained calm. He looked at the two standing in the hallway and said coolly, "My name is Adam Engelwade. And you?"

"George."

The man, seemingly confident in his victory, didn't rush to kill them. "Dragons, an interesting concept. So, are you here to hunt me?"

"That's right. Someone has to deal with madmen like you."

Adam brushed dust off his clothes, his tone calm. "Your hypnosis is impressive. You managed to control a super-A Rank dangerous person and the entire hospital at the same time. How did you do it?"

"Ah, you mean him?" George smiled casually, unconcerned. "It wasn't easy at first, but when he chased me, I used a few pregnant women as shields. He hesitated for a moment, and that's when I got my chance to control him."

"I see. No wonder."

Adam nodded slightly but was still curious. "You referred to it as control. So your ability isn't hypnosis?"

"Heh, of course not," George replied confidently. "I can enter anyone's mind, find their weaknesses, and control them."

"Got it now."

Adam nodded, understanding his power.

The way the two questioned each other felt strange to Susie and Freya, but they understood that Adam was gathering more information.

"Are you done asking questions?" George didn't mind the delay. With confidence, he added, "If you're waiting for someone to come in, you'll be disappointed. I've already blocked the radio signals. If they try to break in, these regular people will be my best shield."

Then, he licked his cracked lips and greedily eyed the two women beside Adam. He sneered darkly and said, "You have no way out. How about I make you a deal? I'll let you leave… as long as you leave the two of them behind."

"That's disgusting," Freya whispered.

The other person's gaze was very aggressive, like they were examining the fish on a chopping board.

Susie also felt uncomfortable. A look of disgust appeared on her delicate face as she quietly gripped the weapon at her waist, ready to fight at any moment.

"I refuse."

Adam adjusted his glasses and said faintly, "Also, I'm not stalling for time. I'm just confirming something."

"What's that?"

George frowned. He hadn't seen any fear or panic on Adam's face, which irritated him.

"It looks like it's the same type of 'Word Soul' as mine."

Adam's lips curled slightly, and his eyes were clear and bright as he said, "I'll ask again. Can you hold off Chu Zihang?"

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

Freya took a deep breath and lowered her voice to ask the man beside her.

"It means you take care of Chu Zihang, and I'll deal with him."

A faint golden glow flickered in Adam's eyes.

However, unlike others, whose golden light appeared more intense and fierce, Adam's golden gaze was not as bright or strong, almost as if his bloodline was not as pure.
