Pfft! Newt suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. His entire body went limp as he collapsed to the ground, his face covered in bruises. Both of his legs were twisted into grotesque shapes, and his entire right arm had been torn off at the shoulder, with steam continuously rising from the stump.
"Eb… Ebson… I… I'll kill you!!!" Newt roared, struggling to push himself up with one arm as he crawled toward Ebson.
However, a swift whip-like kick suddenly smashed into Newt's head, producing a dull, bone-chilling thud.
The force carried in that kick directly deford Newt's skull, bursting all the blood vessels in his eyes. His pupils turned completely crimson as blood splattered everywhere.
Newt's body was sent flying like a ragged sack, crashing heavily onto the floor, completely losing consciousness.
From beginning to end, Ebson watched everything with cold indifference. Even as Newt's blood splashed onto his face, he rely removed his glasses and calmly wiped them with a handkerchief.
Beside Ebson, Bill slowly lowered his raised leg, the tip of his black leather boot still dripping with blood.
Airi's hand tightly gripped the armrest of her chair, her pupils shrinking violently. Everything had happened far too quickly—she hadn't had any ti to react.
The mont Ebson said there was a traitor, Newt, who had been sitting beside Airi, suddenly exploded into action. He leapt up, turned around, and grabbed Ebson by the collar with eyes full of deep hatred. At the sa ti, a dagger had already sliced open Newt's palm.
Caught off guard, Airi's mind was still completely blank. She had originally thought her undercover identity had been exposed, but Newt had suddenly erupted instead—what was going on?
Yet Ebson, who was being held hostage by Newt, remained calm the entire ti. He didn't resist at all, allowing himself to be restrained, even having the leisure to question Newt:
"Why betray ? Do you know what kind of power I granted you? Without , you would've just been a worthless trash on the street, starving to death at any mont!"
But Newt replied in a frenzy:
"To hell with your power! Ebson! You deserve to die! You lied to ! You killed Anna! I'll drag you down with !!"
Golden arcs of electricity began wrapping around Newt's body. Transforming in such a confined space would very likely affect everyone present.
Bazel and Ivanor imdiately distanced themselves, while Litt also retreated repeatedly.
Only Airi, who had co to her senses, realized this was an opportunity. So she hadn't been exposed—Ebson's traitor was Newt. And now that Newt had been exposed and erupted, this might also be her chance!
Without hesitation, Airi slid a dagger from her sleeve. Taking advantage of the chaos, she planned to transform into the Sea-Diving Titan, stir things up, and escape amidst the confusion!
But before Airi could act, sothing bizarre happened.
A flash of crimson light passed through Ebson's eyes. Airi suddenly felt a sharp, piercing pain erupt in her heart, as if soone had stabbed it with a sharp spike.
For that instant, Airi felt like her breathing had completely stalled. Bazel and the others behind her experienced the sa.
Newt's reaction was even more obvious. The golden lightning that had spread across his body suddenly extinguished, and his eyes bulged as his body went stiff.
At that very mont, Bill—who had been smoking and watching the show—moved.
He dashed forward, lifted both feet, and stomped down, snapping both of Newt's legs. With a scream, Newt collapsed to the ground.
Then Bill grabbed Newt's right arm. A flash of white light appeared as a layer of crystal covered his hands. Stepping on Newt's body, he let out a beast-like roar.
Crack! Rip!
With a sharp sound, Newt's right arm was forcibly torn off at the root by Bill—leading to the scene at the beginning.
This bloody scene made Airi's eyelids twitch, a faint sense of fear rising in her heart. When Ebson's gaze swept over her, she instinctively lowered her head in fear.
However, Ebson didn't seem to notice Airi's identity. Acting as if nothing had happened, he said:
"What a pity. Newt has greatly disappointed . But I believe you are different from him. Are you willing to join in leading humanity toward evolution?"
The terrifying cold aura emanating from Ebson filled everyone with fear. They all nodded in agreent, and Airi was forced to nod as well.
"Very good. Then, children, let us discuss how to deal with those petty schers plotting against us next."
...
"Is everyone ready?" Yago looked at his companions before him.
After receiving affirmative responses, Yago nodded and said, "Then we'll proceed according to plan. Captain, I'll leave it to you."
Levi looked at the earnest Yago. Fully equipped with the new Vertical Maneuvering Equipnt, he simply replied with two words:
"Don't worry."
Then Levi turned and left with the fully ard Levi Squad and A-One along with the other five Ackermans.
After Levi departed, Yago turned his gaze toward Eren.
"Eren, you must be extrely careful this ti. When the mont cos, you'll be the center of attention. Make sure to stay safe! The power you carry is too important."
Eren replied confidently:
"Don't worry, Yago. Just watch!"
"Everyone must ensure Eren's safety. And Historia, you also need to be careful. Don't get careless just because you possess the power of the Jaw Titan. The enemies we're facing this ti are all very strong."
Those responsible for protecting Eren included Mikasa, Jean Kirstein, Connie, Sasha, and other old comrades from the 104th Training Corps. Additionally, Historia would coordinate with Eren in action.
After assigning everyone's tasks, Yago finally looked at Annie.
Annie seed to have anticipated what Yago was about to say and spoke first:
"I'm not leaving. I'm going with you."
Yago was montarily choked, then said helplessly:
"Annie, don't be so stubborn. I have a very important task that needs your help."
But Annie's attitude was firm. She insisted on acting together with Yago. Every ti Yago acted alone, all kinds of accidents would happen. So this ti, no matter what, Annie refused to be separated from him.
As night slowly fell and the stage was set, a grand performance quietly began to unveil its curtain.
