Starting with the Decade Driver, Messing with School Beauty

“You can collaborate with our Eternal Technology Inc. We have immense power, connections, and resources. If you work with us, you can enjoy endless benefits. What do you think? Would you consider it?” Lì huā spoke with a seductive look in her eyes.

However, Qing Mu, being a diligent student who had learned from various teachers, couldn’t be swayed by mere allure.

He remained composed.

“Collaborate with you?”

Qing Mu’s gaze shifted slightly.

As it currently stood, working with Eternal Technology Inc. would undoubtedly be the best way to find his parents, leveraging the company’s resources and power. However, he knew himself best.

Qing Mu understood that the premise of Lì huā’s proposed collaboration was that she believed they both had a common enemy in Qin Yu.

If Lì huā were to discover his true identity as Qin Yu’s son, Qing Mu, cooperation would be the least of his concerns. He might not even survive.

Under these circumstances, Qing Mu couldn’t possibly collaborate with Lì huā because it would greatly risk exposing his true identity.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not accustomed to collaborating with others. I prefer to go my own way. I’m afraid I can’t accept your kind offer.”

“You’re refusing me? Are you sure, Kamen Rider Decade?”

“I’m very sure. I won’t collaborate with you. Working with forces like yours, I might not even know when I’d be betrayed. So, let’s leave it at that.”

“What a pity. You’ve made a wrong decision, Kamen Rider Decade. Since you’re not willing to cooperate with us willingly, then please die!”

Suddenly, Lì huā’s expression turned sinister.

A severe chill ran down Qing Mu’s spine, and he sensed that things were taking a dangerous turn.

He swiftly retrieved the Kamen Rider Blade card he had recently acquired.

【KamenRide! Blade! Turn! Up!】

In front of Qing Mu, a blue card energy hologram featuring a rhinoceros beetle appeared.

*BOOM!*

A powerful explosion erupted, and the massive shockwave and fiery explosion instantly sent Arwen, who was not far away, flying.

Without the protective power of a Rider, Arwen was killed instantly in the explosion. However, the blue energy card hologram in front of Qing Mu shielded him from the blast, ensuring he remained unharmed.

Standing still without moving, Qing Mu muttered to himself, “Mastering the invincible time transformation is the key to unbeatable battles.”

The blue card hologram featuring the rhinoceros beetle was the transformation effect for Kamen Rider Blade, possessing formidable energy. Not only could it block frontal attacks on the transformed user, but it could also directly attack enemies in a straight line.

In the grand finale of Kamen Rider Decade, Brother Tsukasa had been blasted away by the golden card hologram formed by Emperor Kamen Rider Blade.

After the blue card hologram protected Qing Mu from the explosion, it automatically flew towards him. Qing Mu passed through the hologram, transforming into Kamen Rider Blade.

Kamen Rider Blade’s exclusive weapon, the Rousing Sword, was at his waist. Qing Mu took it out and swiped a Rouse Card from the card slot on the sword.

The card’s ability activated, causing everything in the surroundings to freeze as if someone had pressed a pause button, including the burning flames, which became suspended in midair.

The scene was incredibly peculiar.

Qing Mu picked up the Rouse Card in his hand and smiled, saying, “Ah, this 10 ♠ Time Scarab Rouse Card is quite useful. It can really pause time. This is my first time using a time-based ability, and it feels quite miraculous.”

The 10 ♠ Time Scarab Rouse Card was arguably one of the most powerful cards in Kamen Rider Blade’s arsenal because it could stop time, freezing all objects in a particular moment until the effect was released.

During this time freeze, even Qing Mu couldn’t perform any actions. If he were to attack someone, he might end up injuring himself due to the recoil effect. In the original plot of Kamen Rider Blade, the Black Spade K Caucasus Undead had attempted to attack opponents during a time freeze but had ended up hurting himself with the counterforce.

Qing Mu was aware of the limitations of this card. However, it didn’t diminish its value in his eyes. Even if he couldn’t use it to attack others, it was an invaluable tool for escaping. With time frozen, who could catch up to him?

Qing Mu put away the card and walked out of the office calmly.

“Since Lì huā, that crazy woman, resorted to self-destruction, it means this place has lost its value for exploration. It’s time to go.”

Lì huā was unlikely to have only detonated that one office.

In Qing Mu’s experience, when antagonistic forces initiated self-destruct sequences, it often led to a chain reaction that could ultimately destroy the entire base. To avoid being buried underground, Qing Mu had no choice but to make a swift escape.

He needed to find a safe place and then deactivate the time-stop effect. Qing Mu approached the locked main gate of the underground base. It had to be deactivated to open the gate. Qing Mu took out the Black Spade 10 Saint Beetle Rouse Card and swiped it once more.

The time-stop effect was lifted, and the surrounding space resumed its normal flow.

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

A series of intense explosions followed immediately.

Listening to the explosions, Qing Mu couldn’t help but shudder. “Thank goodness I acted quickly. If I had been even slightly slower, I might have been caught in the chain of explosions. This place is really no longer safe. I need to get out of here.”

With the Rousing Sword and Ride Booker both in hand, Qing Mu forcefully broke open the main gate.

*BOOM!*

The sound of the explosions grew closer to Qing Mu. He dashed out of the underground base and returned to the surface.

Awaiting him on the surface were a group of heavily armed special forces soldiers who had formed a defensive line. Dozens of rifles were aimed at Qing Mu.

“Don’t move!” someone warned Qing Mu.

Qing Mu quickly responded, “Friendly! Friendly! I’m Arwen! Take a good look!”

At that moment, Qing Mu still appeared as Kamen Rider Blade. He wanted to test if he could bluff his way through with the appearance of Kamen Rider Blade. Among the group, there might be someone who recognized Arwen’s transformation into Kamen Rider Blade.

One of the soldiers spoke up loudly, “Captain! He’s one of us! Don’t act recklessly!”

Hearing someone vouch for him, Qing Mu couldn’t help but inwardly laugh.

“Hahaha! Unbelievable! So, it works like this? These people only recognize appearances and don’t pay attention to the belts? Does this mean I can do anything I want in the future?”

Seeing that they recognized him as one of their own, the soldiers lowered their guard and quickly gestured for Qing Mu to approach.

“Come over here!”
