Chapter 165
Haruto Saito was momentarily stunned, blinking as he looked at Rento Asakura. Then he turned back to the window. The man who looked like a wealthy merchant, Kazumoto Soichiro, had a rosy complexion and walked with the stride of a powerful man, exuding an air of authority. He didn't appear to be suffering from any illness.
Haruto had learned in class that when assessing whether someone was ill or had internal injuries, the most crucial thing to observe was their eyes.
Kazumoto Soichiro's eyes were bright and full of spirit, showing no signs of weakness at all.
Haruto observed carefully but found nothing unusual. He turned back to Rento and shook his head. "Asakura-sama, you said that man is about to die. What is your reasoning?"
"I already told you, I have the ability to read people," Rento said with a completely serious expression.
Haruto met Rento's gaze for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't believe it."
To declare someone's life or death so casually—it was nonsense!
"You'll believe it soon enough," Rento said, giving Haruto a mysterious smile. The next moment, in Haruto's stunned gaze, Rento transformed into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.
Haruto barely had time to process what had happened before he sensed a strong surge of chakra from the street below. His head snapped toward the window.
On the street.
Kazumoto Soichiro was walking forward when, suddenly, a shadowy figure, cloaked in eerie black mist, appeared behind him. A flash of a blade—a strike like lightning!
