Chapter 180: Pointing fingers at others from the moral high ground ()

As one of the Three Saints of the Lion King Organization, Shizuru Kanzaki's efficiency was very high.

Lin Que had just left the Tomb of the Deep Sea and walked on the streets of Itogami Island for a few minutes when she came directly to his door.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Que."

Having changed her clothes in advance, the girl wearing a red and white shrine maiden outfit with a thin veil on her head spoke.

"I am one of the Three Saints of the Lion King Organization, Shizuru Kanzaki."

"I have something I want to talk to you about, can I take up some of your time?"

"No."

Shizuru Kanzaki: "?"

Why aren't you playing by the rules?

Facing Lin Que's unexpected refusal, she, who had already prepared her speech, paused and fell into silence.

A few seconds later, she seemed to have given up on the idea of being polite to Lin Que and went straight to the point.

"You have broken the law, Fourth Progenitor."

Shizuru Kanzaki said: "Attacking and assassinating high-ranking officials of Itogami Island, taking Itogami Island for yourself, "553" this is the behavior of a terrorist."

"So what?"

Lin Que let out a light laugh: "You came specifically to tell me this, surely not to arrest me?"

"This is the choice in the worst-case scenario."

Shizuru Kanzaki replied: "If you, the Fourth Progenitor, do not cooperate, we will lock you in the Prison Barrier."

"Prison Barrier?"

A subtle expression appeared on Lin Que's face.

"Liana, you explain it to her."

"Yes."

Liana, who had been following behind Lin Que, took two steps forward and came to his North North North Side.

Because she was traveling as Lin Que's secretary, Liana had specially dressed up before going out today.

Wearing a professional woman's suit, revealing long, beautiful legs, and stepping on high heels, she exuded a mature aura.

Just standing there, she formed a sharp contrast with the relatively green Shizuru Kanzaki, causing the latter to cast a look of envy.

However, as the one being envied, Liana didn't show any mercy because of it, but spoke the truth without hesitation.

"Your Excellency Shizuru Kanzaki, the Prison Barrier no longer exists. Even if you want to arrest Lord Lin Que, you have to prepare a new prison."

"Doesn't exist anymore?"

Shizuru Kanzaki was stunned: "What does that mean?"

"It means exactly what it says."

Liana replied: "In order to let Natsuki Minamiya regain her freedom, Lord Lin Que personally went to the Prison Barrier yesterday and liberated it."

"If you are interested in the ruins of the Prison Barrier, you can go to the north North North North Side of Itogami Island yourself."

"Liberated the Witch of the Void? How is this possible!"

Shizuru Kanzaki couldn't understand Liana's meaning at all: "And if the Prison Barrier was really abolished, where did the prisoners locked inside go!"

"Except for the Witch of the Archives, Sayaka Ayase, they were all dealt with by Lord Lin Que."

Shizuru Kanzaki: "?"

Dealt with them all?

Hearing this, Shizuru Kanzaki, who had been a bit nervous, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike those high-ranking officials of Itogami Island who had no power to truss a chicken.

The Prison Barrier was a place for detaining special prisoners, and none of the people who could be locked there were weak.

If Lin Que had really broken through the Prison Barrier and killed all the prisoners inside, it would have been impossible not to have made any noise like before.

Since Liana said so, the answer was simple.

The other party is lying!

"Although I don't know why you would tell such a full-of-holes lie, but..."

"A lie?"

Rolling the thin veil in her hand into a ball, Lin Que threw it into the trash can on the North North North Side.

"Why would you think Liana is lying to you?"

"Is it because this matter is beyond your range of understanding? Or is your vision just that narrow?"

"That's... how is it possible!"

Withdrawing her gaze from the trash can, Shizuru Kanzaki ignored Lin Que's mockery and subconsciously reached out to touch her face.

She touched it directly without any obstruction.

Clearly, the thin veil Lin Que had just thrown into the trash can was the veil she had been wearing on her face.

Looking at Lin Que in front of her, Shizuru Kanzaki's eyes were filled with shock.

"When did you take it?!"

"What a strange question."

Lin Que's laughter rang in Shizuru Kanzaki's ears: "Of course it was while you were talking to Liana."

"No magic power fluctuation?"

Looking at Lin Que, who had suddenly appeared beside her, Shizuru Kanzaki's expression became even more surprised.

"Could it be... no, impossible!"

"Even the Dragon Race, which is on par with vampires as the pinnacle of demons, cannot evade my perception purely by physical fitness!"

"Fourth Progenitor, do you also possess an ability similar to [Silence Breaker]!"

"I've done this much, and you still don't want to believe my words, but instead categorize it as a special ability?"

Lin Que shook his head helplessly and reached out his palm to grab Shizuru Kanzaki: "Since that's the case, then you can experience it for yourself..."

"I can see it!"

Because Lin Que had deliberately slowed down this time, Shizuru Kanzaki finally reacted.

Silence Breaker activated, and the sounds coming from all around disappeared in an instant.

With her right hand in a hand-blade shape and infused with spiritual power, Shizuru Kanzaki launched an attack on Lin Que from a non-existent time.

Clang—!

A crisp collision sound rang out, and Shizuru Kanzaki, who had swung this blow with all her might, instantly lost feeling in her arm, and her body was knocked backward.

But just before she fell, a palm grabbed her fair neck first and lifted her directly up.

"How about it? Are you willing to believe it this time?"

"..."

Shizuru Kanzaki didn't reply this time, but used her remaining left hand to grab Lin Que's palm, trying to pry it off her neck.

But clearly, this was just a futile effort.

The force acting on Shizuru Kanzaki's neck became greater and greater, and Shizuru Kanzaki, who was completely unable to breathe, began to have blurred vision.

Just when Shizuru Kanzaki thought she was going to die young, Lin Que's palm suddenly let go.

Bang—!

Sitting on the ground on her butt, Shizuru Kanzaki didn't care about her dignity anymore and opened her mouth to take several breaths.

A few seconds later, Shizuru Kanzaki, who had finally recovered, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and looked at Lin Que in front of her.

"You... aren't you going to kill me?"

"Why would I kill you?"

Lin Que half-squatted down, reached out his right hand 1.7 to pinch Shizuru Kanzaki's chin, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face.

"To be honest, I am very satisfied with you."

"Not only did you take the initiative to deliver yourself to my door, but you even gave me a reason to take action against the Lion King Organization and even Japan itself."

Although Lin Que didn't care about such things, being able to stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at others was still quite refreshing.

"Tell me, how should I thank you, Shizuru Kanzaki."

Shizuru Kanzaki's body paused: "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing, just preparing to expand my territory."

Casually placing a seal on Shizuru Kanzaki, Lin Que stood up and looked at Liana not far away.

"You take this guy to the Cornerstone Gate and have those councilors send a message to Japan."

"Just say that the Three Saints of the Lion King Organization launched an attack on me, and ask them to give me an explanation."

"Yes."
