Chapter 208: Akune Kuroi, Akune Shiroi!

As the boss of the Sphinx Company, Akune Nanase was quite wealthy.

He had actually purchased a thousand mu of land in the Taito Ward, where land is worth its weight in gold, and proceeded to go all out on greening.

His villa stood at the center of this land, surrounded by a sea of greenery.

Li An's first impression upon arriving here was that this was not a city, but a countryside.

One had to admit that as long as one had money, enjoying a greening life in the countryside within the city was not impossible.

No wonder, in the original story, Karima Akira, after accepting his fortune, was able to build such a huge laboratory underground.

Upon approaching the villa, Li An saw two little girls playing on the grass.

Both little girls were very cute, like porcelain dolls.

One had black hair, the other white hair.

Li An knew they were Akune Kuroi and Akune Shiroi.

The two sisters were also pitiable people; since he had come to the Tokyo Ghoul World, he would definitely change their tragic fate.

Li An declared himself to be such a kind-hearted person who could not bear to see beautiful girls suffer.

He walked slowly toward the two little girls, and before he could speak, the black-haired girl asked, "Brother, who are you, and why are you at my house?"

Li An squatted down, patted her small head, and said, "Brother is a friend of your father; your father invited me here."

However, the white-haired girl said, "Brother is lying; we have met all of father's friends, but we have never seen brother."

"Brother is your father's new friend, so you haven't seen him!" Li An said, also patting the white-haired girl.

The two little girls had no resistance against Li An, after all, he was too handsome.

The innate affinity of a deity that he carried made them feel close; subconsciously, they liked this good-looking big brother.

However, just then, a middle-aged man walked out of the villa.

Seeing his two daughters talking with a strange man, his face immediately changed as he said, "Who are you, and what are you doing?"

However, right after he shouted those words, he found his body could not move.

Not only that, but he could not even make a sound.

Li An stood up, approached the middle-aged man, and said, "Don't be nervous; I am here to save your family."

The middle-aged man was Akune Nanase, the father of Akune Kuroi and Akune Shiroi.

Akune Nanase naturally could not easily trust Li An, but he could not make a sound, and his body could not move.

This left him utterly desperate.

Li An smiled and said, "Let us go inside and talk."

As he spoke, he walked toward the villa.

Akune Nanase's body, against his will, began to move on its own.

He followed Li An like this, walking into the villa together.

Inside the hall, Li An turned host and guest, sitting down on the sofa.

Akune Nanase also sat down opposite Li An, uncontrollably.

Li An wasted no words and went straight to the point: "I know your Sphinx Company is working for the V Family and holds many secrets about the V Family. Now that the V Family no longer needs you, what do you think your fate will be?"

Hearing these words, cold sweat immediately beaded on Akune Nanase's forehead.

Although he did not know who Li An was, he knew what Li An said was true.

"Empty words prove nothing; I know you do not trust me, but I will make you trust me. Next, I will use clones to replace your family so you can see with your own eyes how the V Family will deal with you!" After Li An finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.

In the next moment, Akune Nanase saw four people appear out of nowhere in his home.

These four people were exactly himself, his wife, and his two daughters.

Akune Nanase's eyes were filled with shock; he knew these were not clones.

Clones require cell culture; how could they appear out of thin air like this?

He knew this was a mysterious realm he did not understand, so Li An used the word "clones" to make him understand.

"Next, your family can move away and hide, letting these four clones replace you. If the V Family attacks you, these four clones will be the ones to suffer!" After Li An finished speaking, he released Akune Nanase's restraint, allowing him to regain control of his body.

Akune Nanase immediately stood up and asked Li An, "Who exactly are you? Why do you want to help us?"

"You can think of me as a deity. As for why I help you, the reason is that I have taken a liking to your two daughters and want to make them divine messengers. In the understanding of your Sakura Country, they would be shrine maidens!" Li An simply fabricated a reason.

In truth, what reason did he have for doing things? It was entirely based on his whims.

Akune Nanase did not know if what Li An said was true or false; anyway, he was a materialist and did not believe in those gods and ghosts.

As for Li An's method of controlling him and his ability to conjure clones out of thin air, he only thought it was some special Kagune ability of a Ghoul and never thought of it in terms of the occult.

However, now he knew that regardless of whether Li An was trustworthy or not, he had to trust him.

"Then, may I ask what name this Deity Lord goes by?" Akune Nanase asked again.

"Adagaki Li An!" Li An said with a smile.

Akune Nanase frowned again.

Although he was a materialist, he knew a bit about the world's mainstream mythological systems.

Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Huaxia mythology, Sakura mythology, Celtic mythology, Islam, Hinduism, the Baihuo Sect, the Cross Church, Taoism, Buddhism; none of these mythological systems contained the name of a deity called Adagaki Li An.

At this moment, he became even more certain that Li An was not a deity!

"Then, Lord Li An, what should we do next?" Akune Nanase continued to ask.

"Of course, we must first gain each other's trust. I know you still do not trust me in your heart right now, but it does not matter; let these four clones prove everything!" As Li An spoke, he also stood up, revealing a mysterious smile.

Akune Nanase understood Li An's meaning, after all, he had said so before.

So he hurriedly notified his wife, asking her to return home as soon as possible.

Then he installed pinhole cameras in various places throughout the house.

After finishing all this, his wife also returned.

His wife did not know what had happened, but seeing Anjiu Qisheng's serious expression, she knew it was a major matter and did not ask further.

Anjiu Qisheng asked his wife to pack their luggage, then took her and their two daughters and left the Sixth District, finding a safe place to stay.

On Li An's side, he had the four clones take the place of the Anjiu family and reside in the villa.

The real Anjiu Qisheng could watch everything here in real time through the cameras at home.
