The Villain Is Too Popular

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: You Are the Challenger



At the port's exit.

Yunmeng watched Tendo and Caroline finally arrive after several minutes of waiting, unable to help but ask, "Little Tendo, Caroline, why are you so late?"

Hearing this, Tendo's face didn't even blush as he argued, "Sister Yun, it's all because Caroline is so naive; she just had to drag me to get a good look at the big jellyfish in the distance. Otherwise, I would have been out much earlier."

"Oh? Really?"

Yunmeng looked at Tendo with a half-smile, clearly not believing his nonsense.

After all, based on her understanding of Tendo, it would be good if even one out of his ten sentences was reliable.

Caroline, beside them, couldn't even be bothered to say much, simply rolling her eyes at Tendo.

She didn't want to argue too much with a childish brat; it was beneath her!

Meanwhile, watching Tendo spew lies the moment he stepped out, the premium members on Station 13, who were watching this episode with advanced screening, mercilessly exposed Tendo's clumsy fabrication.

Oh-ho, just spouting nonsense now? Tendo, you're truly a bad boy...

Tendo Simei, a man who is almost perfect, except for his personality and mouth.

A man's mouth, a deceiving ghost.

Facing the almost one-sided condemnation of himself on the dimensional screen, Tendo nonchalantly adjusted his sunglasses.

Joke's on them, a white lie isn't a lie at all.

Similarly, fabricated facts... can naturally also be facts!

These weren't Tendo's random fabrications, but rather "Brahmin Mahayana Victory Studies" he learned from a certain ancient Eastern civilization in his previous life.

The main idea being: as long as I adamantly deny it, what I say is fact—victory!

It was only because the bullet comments at this moment were unaware of Tendo's inner thoughts.

Otherwise, they would surely type out the four bold characters 'shameless' and flood the entire screen with them.

"Alright, since everyone is here, follow me. Let's not keep them waiting."

Without dwelling further on this irrelevant matter, Yunmeng immediately announced their next itinerary.

Hearing Yunmeng's words, Tendo and the others immediately dragged their luggage and followed her towards the open-air parking lot outside.

Due to the advanced screening, the bullet comments currently watching this episode had already seen the content of the previous episode.

In the previous episode, the Doctor had thoroughly explained the details of Tendo and the others' mission, as well as what they specifically needed to accomplish during this mission.

Simply put, Tendo's mission this time was to protect a wealthy young lady named 'Isabelle' for a month.

And while Tendo and the others appeared to be the main protectors of 'Isabelle,' in reality, they mostly served as alarm systems.

Because the true protectors of Isabelle were, firstly, Yunmeng, and secondly, Isabelle's father's exclusive bodyguard.

The 'Coral Knight,' who possessed the strength of a Second-Tier Star Emissary.

To have Yunmeng and the Coral Knight, two Second-Tier Star Emissaries, as well as Tendo and several other First-Tier Star Emissaries protect her for a month, Isabelle's identity was naturally extraordinary.

Her father was the current richest man in Deep Blue Metropolis... Dorian.

The reason Dorian was willing to spend such a large sum to enlist the Emberglow organization's help in protecting his only daughter, Isabelle, for a period of time, was because the Tianhai Group, which he currently controlled, was facing an 'internal strife' that could overturn his position.

A group of greedy individuals, naively believing the words of certain malicious people, secretly united, preparing to cause trouble at a crucial moment and completely sideline him, the CEO of Tianhai Group.

Dorian, having controlled the massive Tianhai Group for so many years, was naturally no ordinary individual.

After discovering these people's actions, he did not immediately retaliate.

Instead, he directly turned their scheme against them, preparing to use the opportunity to completely clean them out and thus gain complete control of the entire Tianhai Group.

However, this meant he had to guard against these individuals taking desperate measures once cornered.

For example... kidnapping his only daughter, Isabelle, to force him to hand over his shares.

Tendo and the others' appearance was precisely to guard against such a situation.

However, although the root cause of the story was Dorian, the richest man in Deep Blue Metropolis, the center of all plot storms was his daughter, Isabelle.

Tendo, who had read the original work, knew very well.

No matter how dangerous or critical the situations that arose during this mission were, they were merely superficial, self-directed performances.

Because all of it was a result of Dorian, the richest man, deliberately orchestrating things to eliminate the traitors within his group.

Therefore, Tendo had never taken this 'bodyguard mission' seriously from the beginning, treating it entirely as an expense-paid trip.

However, if he remembered correctly, once they reached the parking lot, they should encounter the first 'crisis' of the 'Deep Blue Metropolis Arc.'

Thinking this, a glint flashed in Tendo's eyes beneath his sunglasses.

After resting for so long, it was finally time for him to add more scenes.

He imagined that his popularity points, which had stagnated for a while... would soon surge again!

Outside the port, in the open-air parking lot.

The moment Caroline and the others stepped into this open-air parking lot, a strange dense fog instantly appeared.

Not only was the fog unusual in its arrival, but its spreading speed was also astonishingly fast.

In just the blink of an eye, visibility was less than three meters.

"Tendo?"

Caroline looked at the suddenly foggy open-air parking lot, instinctively sensing something odd.

She had specifically checked the weather outside when disembarking, and it should have been a clear, fog-free day.

Yet, here was such a thick fog.

If Caroline still couldn't react to the problem at this point, her title as a mech-type would be for nothing.

But to Caroline's surprise, although she had already spoken, Tendo beside her remained silent.

She suddenly turned her head and found that the parking lot was now empty except for her.

Tendo, who had been by her side, and everyone else... had all mysteriously disappeared!

At the same time, similar situations occurred with the siblings Chenxing and Chenkong.

Seeing the 'protagonist group' forcibly separated, the bullet comments immediately understood that something had gone wrong.

Encountering a crisis right after leaving the port, does the production team have to be this deliberate?!

Being able to conjure such a thick fog instantly, and even making a Second-Tier Star Emissary like Yunmeng unaware, the opponent is no pushover!

Strange, why did the production team only show Chenkong, Chenxing, and Caroline? Where's Tendo?

Just as the bullet comments were filled with confusion, Tendo's voice suddenly came from deep within the mist on the screen.

"Sister Yun, going so big right from the start, aren't you really afraid of playing Chenkong to death?"

As the camera zoomed in, the audience quickly saw Tendo's figure emerging from the mist.

Tendo, wearing sunglasses, stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression utterly relaxed, as if he were merely a tourist, forming a stark contrast with the tense, battle-ready expressions of Chenkong and the others in the mist.

"Ms. Yun, this child must be the Stars Child you've always spoken so highly of... Commander Tendo, correct?"

Yunmeng nodded, then proudly looked at Tendo, who had walked out of the mist, and said with a smile, "How about it? I told you that this test you insisted on was a bit redundant, didn't I?"

"You know, any one of our 36 children from the Stars Project, when taken outside, is comparable to a monster, not to mention Tendo, who is a monster among monsters."

"Therefore, your so-called test seems completely meaningless to me, because it won't trouble them at all."

"Oh, really?"

The Coral Knight turned to look at Tendo not far away, his eyes under the helmet filled with curiosity.

"Ms. Yun, would you mind if I personally test him? Don't misunderstand, I just want to see if he truly can ensure the young lady's safety within the academy, as you say, by himself."

Yunmeng extended her hand and said nonchalantly, "Please do."

"Then I apologize for the offense."

Hearing their conversation, Tendo slowly removed the sunglasses from his face, then ran a hand through his fringe, sweeping all the hair back from his forehead, instantly giving himself a clean and refreshing slicked-back hairstyle.

Then, he looked at the Coral Knight walking towards him and smiled.

"Sigh, it seems I'm being underestimated, but..."

In an instant, Tendo's previously casual and lazy aura vanished.

In its place was a daunting, almost palpable, terrifying presence.

At the same time, the screen in the anime instantly turned black and white, with only Tendo retaining his vibrant colors.

As if at this very moment, he was the master of this world.

"Don't talk about testing me, because... you are the challenger."

Hearing Tendo's domineering declaration, the bullet comments on the dimensional screen... instantly erupted!
