Chapter 2823

Su Xiao Xiao: "Trade my ass! What do you mean all personnel come from only three slots total with Marvel? One each for Marvel, and me excluded!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Getting selected for a mission? They just got lucky."

Su Han rolled his eyes.

He couldn't adjust the odds of selecting people... he'd said it so many times already.

Why do these guys in the union still think there's a conspiracy! Kogoro Mouri: "I believe it! If the boss really could control mission selection, then Black Cat and the Luo Hao Sect leader, even Lei Muleimu's chances... should be higher than Batman and Thor Odinson's."

Gao Ban realm: "Cough... we all know that! Just venting."

After all, it's just too coincidental."

Batman: "Armor fully prepared! Batmobile also ready."

Batman: "Heh... Bat Demon? I'll show him what true Batman means!"

Tony Isn't the Richest: "..."

Fallen Angel, Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "She's gone dark... really gone dark!"

Sakata Ginji: "Just now you said you didn't care at all! Now it's all fake... Batman's killing intent is already oozing out."

Thor Odinson: "... I really wanted to say it! I prepared a whole arsenal against enemies... but the truth is, my Mjolnir and Stormbreaker are already right here in my hands."

Awkwardly awkward.

"

Compared to fully armed Batman, Thor always felt he was missing something.

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Oosaka Taiga: "I'm speechless!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Alright! See you in the other world."

Exhaling, Su Han directly clicked to join the mission; a brilliant light swirled around his body, and then his figure vanished instantly from the spot.

... In another world.

Mikazuki Yozora was currently in the Neighbor Club, propping her cheek with her palm, lost in thought.

Beside her stood Paski Xingnai, her face twisted with discomfort.

"...... Are you really sure you won't leave?"

Mikazuki Yozora glanced at Paski Xingnai and said gently, "Something very serious is about to happen! If you don't leave, you bear the consequences yourself."

"Hah... do you think I'm scared?"

Paski Xingnai stuck out her tongue at Mikazuki Yozora, "Don't forget, I'm the school-famous super beauty! If you keep being so insolent, I'll tell my dad! Then I'll have you expelled."

"...... Meat. You're still the same."

Mikazuki chuckled softly, studying Paski Xingnai with interest, her eyes free of anger, "But... if you really want to try, go right ahead!"

"...... What?"

Paski Xingnai froze.

To be fair, she had argued with Mikazuki Yozora before.

But their relationship was still decent.

She simply couldn't bring herself to report her and get Mikazuki Yozora expelled.

But if she said nothing, wouldn't that make her look weak? Just as Paski Xingnai was torn, the door burst open.

"...... You don't need to decide whether to expel Yozora anymore!"

Sanqianyuan Jing walked in, Maria right behind her.

"Because! The Saint Croix Academy has now been bought by the Sanqianyuan Conglomerate!"

After a slight pause, Sanqianyuan Jing smirked, "In other words... if I wanted to, I could easily expel you... Miss Paski Xingnai!"

"...... You! What? How could that possibly be?"

Paski Xingnai stared blankly, then her face flushed crimson.

Mikazuki Yozora stared straight at Sanqianyuan Jing; after a long moment, she let out a bitter laugh, "I already knew you were rich... but this level of wealth? Honestly... beyond imagination."

Buying a school outright! Such a staggering display of wealth—even Mikazuki Yozora, who had prepared herself, was stunned.

"It's nothing!"

Sanqianyuan Jing shrugged.

Then her expression turned serious: "Maria! Please take Miss Paski Xingnai away. I have matters to discuss with Yozora."

"...... Yes!"

Maria's eyes flickered with concern, but after glancing at Mikazuki Yozora twice, she felt no threat from her.

She sighed deeply and walked toward Paski Xingnai.

"What are you doing, jerk! Don't touch me!"

Just as Paski Xingnai and Maria faced off, a brilliant light suddenly erupted into being before them in the empty air.

"...... What?!"

"Wait... what is that?"

Maria and Paski Xingnai's expressions changed drastically.

The next breath, Su Han and the others appeared out of thin air.

The scene fell utterly silent.

Su Han scanned the entire room, using his Kenbunshoku Haki to hear everyone's thoughts, and immediately understood the situation.

He rubbed his nose. "Looks like I arrived at a bad time."

"No!"

Sanqianyuan Jing stepped slowly forward to stand before Su Han, gazing intently at his face, a faint blush rising on her cheeks—after all, Su Han's appearance held near-magical power.

She drew in a deep breath, steadied herself, then said, word by word, "On the contrary, I think you've come at just the right moment!"

"In a matter concerning the very survival of the world! If you'd arrived any later... the situation really would have been beyond saving."

"... What survival of the world!"

Maria's pupils contracted sharply. If it weren't for the bizarre way Su Han and his group had appeared earlier, she would have been ready to call for help by now.

After all, when someone starts talking about the survival of the world... nine times out of ten, they're... a con artist.

"Where are our enemies?"

Batman, clad in his Batsuit, spoke in a deep, hoarse voice.

"Hey, Bat-bro!"

Thor sized Batman up, clicking his tongue in wonder. "You actually aren't wearing the Hellbat Armor — this ordinary armor you've got on... how's the combat power? I remember your base form isn't that strong, right... don't go collapsing the instant we face a powerful enemy."

"Oh, right... one more thing! Please, during the fight, be a proper teammate... you know our situation... so you don't need to factor me, or the Guild Master, into your schemes... the way you screw over your teammates! Even I can barely stand it."

Batman: "..."
