Chapter 82

A pillar of fire shot into the sky, and indigo tentacles filled the entire arena. Taking advantage of this opportunity to deceive everyone, Rokudo Mukuro and Mammon quickly appeared beside him. After the illusion disappeared, the two of them replaced his phantoms once again.

Those watching from the sidelines were completely absorbed in the battle, yet almost no one noticed the changes taking place.

Rokudo Mukuro, his trident planted firmly on the ground, still struck a dashing pose, but everyone could see he was somewhat exhausted. The light on Mammon's pacifier had dimmed, and his pet, looking completely drained, lay sprawled on his shoulder.

Mamon raised his head slightly and glanced at Rokudo Mukuro through the obstruction in front of him, only to find that Rokudo Mukuro was also staring at him.

Mammon thought to himself: At this moment, he should use illusion magic to escape. After all, being delicate and weak, he couldn't withstand Moska's attack after his defeat. Especially in front of Xanxus, he didn't dare to dodge.

Therefore, he had to plan ahead and go into hiding for a while, and then come back when the BOSS was no longer angry.

Rokudo Mukuro noticed a slight change in the genjutsu surrounding Mammon, the Rainbow Child, and realized that Mammon intended to escape. Rokudo Mukuro remained silent and still, thus providing Mammon with a convenient escape route.

After realizing that Mammon's presence had left the stadium, a wicked smile crept across his face.

Rokudo Mukuro straightened up, his trident striking the ground, and a powerful illusion filled the entire stadium. The stadium floor cracked bit by bit, and even the surrounding facilities developed large cracks.

The little sparrow should really thank himself; he helped the little sparrow destroy the entire stadium, and then he'll get a brand new stadium.

And it's using other people's money!

Little did he know, Hibari Kyoya was staring at him with murderous intent.

...Destroyed Namimori Campus, bitten to death!

Mammon's illusion was already showing signs of exhaustion, but it still managed to fly despite Rokudo Mukuro's illusion.

However, Rokudo Mukuro's illusion seemed to be entirely focused on destroying the surrounding buildings, without causing any harm to his illusion.

However, unbeknownst to everyone, a thin pillar of fire appeared beside both Mammon and Moska. The pillar of fire beside Mammon swiftly flew towards the ring around his neck, and to everyone's astonishment, half of the Mist Ring landed steadily in his hand. Mammon's figure, struck by the pillar of fire, vanished in a wisp of smoke.

At the same time, another pillar of fire rushed towards Mosca with lightning speed. XANXUS quickly discovered the existence of this illusion and tried to stop it with a furious expression, but for some reason, he was somewhat hesitant.

XANXUS stared fiercely at Rokudo Mukuro, like a man-eating beast eyeing its prey.

The pillar of fire was as flexible as a human arm, and under Rokudo Mukuro's control, it easily dismantled Mosca, revealing the old man inside.

To Rokudo Mukuro, the complex structure of the Moska was meaningless, having already seen countless upgraded versions of the high-end Moska. Dismantling a low-level Moska without harming the people inside was a piece of cake for him.

"Wow, there's actually a person inside this metal lump...kufufufu~ Luckily, my illusion magic is superb~"

Facing XANXUS's fierce gaze, Rokudo Mukuro revealed an innocent smile. "We have no grudge against each other, but I can't resist my urge to watch the show!"

Kufufufu~ Now it's your turn to perform, Ninth Vongola Boss, XANXUS...

The appearance of the Ninth Generation in Moscari startled most of the people present.

"What's going on? How could the Ninth Generation be in Varian Cloud Guardian—Goramoscari, Kola!"

Reborn immediately raised his gun, pointing it directly at XANXUS. The shadow of his hat brim covered most of his face, making it impossible to see his expression, but his low voice still revealed his bad mood.

"XANXUS, shouldn't you explain why the Ninth Boss is in Moscali?"

After composing himself, XANXUS lazily sat back in his luxurious seat, propping his head up with one hand, looking just like a tiger taking a nap.

"What? That old man is the Ninth Vongola Boss?!" Sawada Tsunayoshi clutched his head, looking utterly bewildered. "Why is the Ninth Vongola Boss here? What's going on?"

Varian's side was also somewhat helpless. As executives, they knew beforehand that the Ninth Boss had been brought back by their boss and imprisoned in Moscari. After all, the Ninth Boss would occasionally come out to eat when no one was around at night, and when his ordinary subordinates weren't around, he would even try to persuade XANXUS, who was throwing a tantrum.

Even if they were blind, they still had ears. But even if they pretended to be deaf and dumb, they couldn't withstand the Ninth Generation's blatant audacity.

Even so, they did not expect that during the battle for the Ring of Mist, the Ninth Generation would be "rescued" from Mosca.

With both sides remaining silent and locked in a tense standoff, referee Cerrobel stepped forward.

The pink-haired woman looked at Rokudo Mukuro, who was holding the Mist Ring, and announced directly, "Rokudo Mukuro has won the battle for the Mist Ring. Tomorrow night will be the Battle of Clouds."

After fulfilling their responsibilities, the two jumped backward and disappeared into the stadium.

XANXUS glanced at the old man who was pretending to lie on the ground, gave a haughty snort, stood up, turned around and left.

Before leaving with his subordinates, he took one last, deep look at Rokudo Mukuro, who had caused him trouble.

Reborn also urgently contacted the Vongola's medical team and lifted the Ninth Boss, who was lying on the ground looking weak, onto a stretcher. The weak old man opened his eyes and looked at Reborn and Sawada Tsunayoshi with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry, Reborn, I've caused you trouble this time."

"And Tsuna-kun, we meet again."

Sawada Tsunayoshi looked completely bewildered, having no idea when he had met the Ninth Vongola Boss.

Reborn pulled down his hat brim and understood what the Ninth Boss meant. He scoffed and said to the Ninth Boss in a very impolite manner, "You should say that to that guy Sawada Iemitsu. After all, he has already taken people back to Italy to 'rescue' you."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Generation's expression of apology deepened.

Rokudo Mukuro also strolled over at this moment. Upon seeing Rokudo Mukuro, Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes lit up with surprise, but then he hesitated and asked, "Mukuro, um, Mammon, the one you fought..."

Rokudo Mukuro, who could tell at a glance what Sawada Tsunayoshi was thinking, had no mood to comfort him. At this moment, he just wanted to go back and have a good night's sleep, and enjoy some chocolate from home before going to bed.

So, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "Kufufufu~ Who knows? Maybe it was burned to ashes by my illusion magic~"

"Huh?" Sawada Tsunayoshi looked surprised, but he couldn't muster any enthusiasm. He felt like he had been deceived.

Reborn glared at Sawada Tsunayoshi with exasperation, "Stupid Tsuna!"

"Alright, I'm going back now." With that, Rokudo Mukuro turned and walked out of the stadium, with Chrome, Chigusa, and Inu following closely behind.

"Wait, Mukuro..." Sawada Tsunayoshi wanted to call out to Rokudo Mukuro. Reborn and the others also wanted to know how Rokudo Mukuro knew that the Ninth Hokage was inside Mosca.

But Rokudo Mukuro and the others completely ignored the calls from behind.

As Rokudo Mukuro walked out of the stadium, he spotted Hibari Kyoya, who was staring at him with a fierce expression, his Floating Cane poised to strike.

At this moment, Rokudo Mukuro had no desire to fight at all. He looked at Hibari Kyoya with a smile and said, "Are you here to thank me?"

Ignoring Hibari Kyoya's unpleasant expression, he continued, "No need to thank me too much. I did some work in having Cerrobel renovate the stadium for you, but I didn't contribute any money. Of course, if you really want to thank me, I can accept it."

Hibari Kyoya narrowed his beautiful eyes, a dangerous glint flashing within them. He raised the floating cane in his hand and said, word by word, "Bite to death!"

"By the way, you really like cloud beans, right? I'll bring them to you tomorrow." Before Hibari Kyoya could rush up, Rokudo Mukuro's words dispelled his thoughts of fighting.

Hibari Kyoya blinked, looked intently at Rokudo Mukuro, and, realizing he wasn't joking, immediately turned and left. He could punch the pineapple-headed guy anytime, but he only had one Hibari. He knew what was more important.

...

Rokudo Mukuro and Chrome finally arrived home.

As soon as he got back, Chizuru went into the kitchen; it was his turn to cook today. The ingredients were already prepared, and all that was needed was simple cooking before it was ready to serve.

Before long, the aroma of food filled the room, which made Rokudo Mukuro give up the idea of ​​getting the chocolate, after all, he didn't want to let Chiba's cooking go to waste.

Rokudo Mukuro felt even better when the people around him sat down to eat at the table.

"Chrome, although neither of us went all out in tonight's battle, you should still try to learn from it and gain experience from our fight."

Chrom, holding her rice bowl, nodded silently. She also wanted to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger could she protect Mukuro, Chigusa, and Inu.

After dinner, Rokudo Mukuro went to his room to rest. He needed to eat and drink his fill and be well-rested so he could have some fun tomorrow.

After all, tomorrow night is the battle for the Ring of Clouds, and Mosca has already been crippled by him, so that battle-crazed little sparrow will definitely do something unexpected.

And then there's Yun Dou. He's really looking forward to the scene of Hibari Kyoya meeting Yun Dou, who calls him "Mukuro-sama." Just thinking about it makes him feel great.

…………

As dusk approached, before setting off for Namimori Campus, Rokudo Mukuro instructed, "Chrome, take Cloud Bean with you."

Chrome emerged from the room and held up the cloud bean in his palm. "Don't worry, Master Mukuro!"

The chubby little yellow bird in Chrome's palm tilted its head nimbly, flapped its tiny wings, flew to Chrome's shoulder, and perched there, then let out a soft chirp, "Master Mukuro, Master Mukuro..."

Rokudo Mukuro couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. He couldn't help but reach out and touch Yun Dou. Although the little sparrow wasn't a good person, Yun Dou was definitely a good bird.
