Chapter 273: Boss, I

Boss Kaku saw that purple marks had appeared on the faces of the guards who were twitching on the ground.

It was clearly not ordinary poisoning.

Moreover, it was silent; there was no way to know when they had been poisoned.

"Wait, that is…"

Boss Kaku's pupils shifted as he noticed something.

"So it's the bugs of the Aburame clan."

"In other words, the ones lying in ambush are from 'Root'?"

I didn't expect that since they couldn't strike at the Boss, they would choose to target me instead.

If Boss Kaku were alone, he naturally wouldn't be afraid.

But he now had a princess behind him who needed protection; if something were to happen to this princess here, things would become troublesome.

"They really picked a good time."

Boss Kaku's brows were tightly furrowed.

Although Princess Asaka was somewhat alarmed, she did not lose her composure.

She first moved a step closer to Boss Kaku, then turned around to look vigilantly in the direction behind them.

After all, Boss Kaku could only see the situation in front of him and could not see what was behind him.

"What should we do?"

Princess Asaka asked, feigning calmness.

But her trembling voice betrayed her current state of mind.

"Rest assured, I will not let you suffer any harm."

Boss Kaku said solemnly.

This person was a gift for his own Boss; even if he were to be smashed to pieces, he had to ensure she was delivered!

Furthermore, he was not without a trump card.

It was just that the enemy had not yet revealed themselves, so it was not easy for him to make a move.

The guards soon stopped struggling and lost all signs of life.

Only Boss Kaku, Princess Asaka, and the two maids who were trembling with fear remained.

Wait!

The enemy hadn't targeted Princess Asaka; they must have known her identity.

But why were the two maids fine?

Clearly, all the guards had been hit.

Boss Kaku felt a jolt in his heart and suddenly turned his head.

The moment he turned, he saw that the two maids no longer looked like they were trembling with fear.

With expressionless faces, they quickly formed hand seals, and the parasitic insects on the corpses immediately flew over in a swarm.

"Fire Style—!"

He pulled Princess Asaka, who still didn't know what was happening, behind him, and immediately after, a masked monster suddenly emerged from his shoulder.

The monster opened its large mouth and instantly spewed out fierce flames.

The surging parasitic insects were instantly burned to nothing.

"Ah—!"

Only then did Princess Asaka let out a scream.

But it wasn't because of the enemy; it was because of the masked monster that had emerged from Boss Kaku's shoulder. ===== CHAPTER 277 =====
