Chapter 172: Since you are unwilling to cooperate, then all of you go on your way ( )

“Break in?”

Lin Que, wearing a floral shirt and big shorts, with sunglasses on his face, dressed for a vacation, sat up.

“No need, no need, little Natsuki has already come to pick us up.”

“How come I feel you are getting more and more excessive.”

Space shook slightly, and Nangong Natsuki, wearing a formal dress, appeared not far away.

Holding the parasol in her hand, she frowned and looked at Lin Que with some displeasure.

“Calling me by my name is one thing, but why do you have to add a ‘little’ now?”

“Because that can make it seem like we have a good relationship~”

Waving his hand to signal the two maids beside him to step back, Lin Que walked toward her with a smile.

“Isn't this quite good? Don't you like it?”

“I don't like it.”

Nangong Natsuki replied without hesitation: “So please don't add ‘little’ before my name.”

“Okay, little Natsuki.”

Lin Que nodded: “As you wish, little Natsuki.”

Nangong Natsuki: “......”

So angry, so want to hit someone, but can't beat him.

Taking a deep breath, Nangong Natsuki suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at the cruise ship that had just arrived yesterday.

“How is the Deep Ocean Tomb in your hands? When I received the news just now, I thought I heard it wrong.”

“Do you even need to ask?”

Lin Que replied casually: “Of course it’s because I slaughtered Dimitrié. This ship is now my trophy.”

“You slaughtered that snake-playing guy?!”

Due to Kii’s orders, most of the members of the Gozo Island investigation team have now been taken to the Domain of the War King.

Under the information blockade, Nangong Natsuki only knew that a terrifying magic power had erupted yesterday.

As for other things, Nangong Natsuki was still in a state of knowing nothing.

Hearing Lin Que’s words, Nangong Natsuki couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

“Are you crazy? That snake-playing guy was a person from the Domain of the War King.”

“Hi hi hi~ no need to talk about such small things~”

Lin Que reached out and inserted his hands under Nangong Natsuki’s armpits, lifting her up directly.

“Thanks for little Natsuki’s concern, I’m very happy~”

“Don't worry, I will handle this matter well.”

“Who is concerned about you! Let go quickly!”

Nangong Natsuki, who was suddenly lifted high, took out a folding fan and patted Lin Que’s head twice.

“Put me down! Did you hear me!”

“Okay, okay, as you wish.”

Too much is as bad as too little; Lin Que put down the Nangong Natsuki, who was ashamed and angry, and teased.

“Is little Natsuki being tsundere? Actually, there’s no need to be shy. On this ship...”

“Who is being tsundere!”

Nangong Natsuki couldn't help but interrupt: “In the end, you are the one who is too familiar! Keep some distance!”

“How heartless~”

Lin Que shrugged, not continuing to chat on this topic, and turned to the main point.

“What’s the situation now? You should have passed my words to the high-level officials of Itogami Island, right? What did they say?”

“What else could they say? Naturally, they didn't agree.”

Nangong Natsuki curled her lips: “Those old guys said Itogami Island welcomes the arrival of the Fourth Progenitor.”

“However, Itogami Island is the territory of Japan, and you cannot establish an Empire of Night here.”

“If you insist on doing so, you have to go to Japan and communicate with the officials.”

Of course, this was just polite talk.

Itogami Island is indeed the territory of Japan, but that is only in name.

As a Demon Special Zone, Itogami Island is actually a special administrative region with an independent political system, and Japan doesn't get to manage it at all on a daily basis.

Now suddenly asking Lin Que to go to Japan is just kicking the ball to delay time.

And Lin Que naturally understood this truth.

Looking at Nangong Natsuki in front of him thoughtfully, a look of curiosity appeared on his face.

“Little Natsuki, you wouldn't have not told them how strong I am for the sake of your own face, would you?”

“Unfortunately, I did say it.”

Nangong Natsuki shook her head: “But those old guys seem to have some trump cards, so they insisted on their own ideas.”

Of course, more importantly, the high-level officials of Itogami Island didn't think Lin Que dared to take action by force.

The Demon Special Zone is a place where demons can live and move freely, protected by the [Sanctuary Treaty].

If someone takes action against the Demon Special Zone by force, it is equivalent to being an enemy of the three Empires of Night and the various human countries that have also signed the [Sanctuary Treaty].

Even terrorists only attack the Demon Special Zone, not break through and occupy it.

Even Nangong Natsuki, who had seen Lin Que’s power with her own eyes, thought that Lin Que would display his power to force the high-level officials of Itogami Island to submit before seeing this Deep Ocean Tomb.

But after seeing the Deep Ocean Tomb and learning about Dimitrié from Lin Que, Nangong Natsuki’s idea began to waver.

“Lin Que... what are you planning to do next?” Nangong Natsuki asked tentatively.

“What to do? Of course, take action.”

Lin Que replied: “I hate those roundabout things.”

“Since they are unwilling to submit, then go down and accompany Dimitrié.”

“Wait! Calm down first!”

Hearing this worst answer, Nangong Natsuki’s heart sank.

“You can't just take action. If all the high-level officials of Itogami Island die, it will cause panic.”

“Don't worry, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion when I take action.”

Lin Que waved his hand: “The ones who died were all those who were preparing to make trouble. I didn't kill the neutral ones.”

“You still can't kill them casually, otherwise... hmm? What did you mean by your words just now?”

Halfway through her sentence, Nangong Natsuki suddenly noticed something was wrong: “What do you mean by ‘the ones who died were all those who were preparing to make trouble’? What did you do?!”

“Of course, it’s the literal meaning.”

Snap~!

Lin Que snapped his fingers, summoning semi-transparent screens that appeared in front of Nangong Natsuki.

“I slaughtered them.”

On the screen, figures were shown either slumped on the ground or leaning on chairs, motionless.

Nangong Natsuki was no stranger to them; these people were the councilors and directors of Itogami Island.

Among them, Nangong Natsuki even saw Yase Kensei, who held the position of Chairman.

Unlike those who looked like they were sleeping, he seemed to have experienced a fierce battle.

On the walls of the room, there were huge long-strip cuts, as if they had been cut by a sharp blade.

But even so, he still couldn't escape the fate of death, his face remaining with a look of pain as he fell to the ground.

“This old guy was considered the strongest among this group. The momentum I transmitted over at the beginning didn't crush him to death.”

Seeing Nangong Natsuki staring at Yase Kensei’s screen, Lin Que explained casually.

“I originally planned to spare his life for the time being, but the commotion he made when resisting was a bit big.”

So he increased the momentum he pressed over, causing Yase Kensei and the others to have their hearts and brains shattered, dying on the spot.
