Chapter 527: Conditions

Seikyo, reception room.

Seitenshi, dressed in a pure white gown, looked at Na Yue beside Lingyun with a curious expression: "Lingyun, is this child also one of the Cursed Children from the town?"

"Well, perhaps she is!" Lingyun said with a grin.

Hearing Seitenshi's words, Na Yue's eyebrows twitched violently, and then she stepped mercilessly onto the top of Lingyun's foot.

Lingyun's expression did not change, effectively taking Na Yue's blow head-on.

"Don't treat me like a child; my age is much greater than you imagine!" Na Yue said.

Tendo Kikunojo, standing behind Seitenshi, felt a flash of unreadable light in his eyes. He clearly sensed that, in that instant, a trace of inexplicable majesty emanated from the small girl before him, making one dare not underestimate her.

"This girl is not simple!" Tendo Kikunojo defined Na Yue as such.

"Mr. Lingyun, despite being the hero who saved the entire Tokyo Area, you did not attend this victory banquet, which has disappointed many people!" Seitenshi did not dwell on Na Yue's identity for long, instead steering the topic back to Lingyun.

"Their goal is merely to obtain from me the weapon that Lingyun Town used to crush Scorpio!" Lingyun sneered. "I have no mood to attend such a boring banquet filled with schemes!"

"By the way, Your Excellency Seitenshi, how have those people on the list been dealt with? I hope the results have not disappointed me," Na Yue said suddenly.

"I have already handled that matter, and the results will not disappoint you!" Seitenshi handed a document to Lingyun. "However, the impact of this matter is truly too great, so I had to suppress it; not many people know the inside story."

Lingyun flipped through the document casually, and finally said with some helplessness: "It is just a pity that the Minister of Defense committed suicide while on bail; it is truly a regrettable ending."

"It's just hard to say whether it was suicide or 'suicide'—silencing people is a very common issue in politics!" Na Yue also spoke up. "People who play politics, when they have no bottom line, are truly even more terrifying than Gastrea!"

Watching Lingyun and Na Yue singing in harmony, even the usually gentle Seitenshi could not help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

"Well, rest assured, Your Excellency Seitenshi, once the punishment is over, this matter will come to an end," Lingyun said.

"Punishment?" Seitenshi asked, somewhat confused.

"Your Excellency Seitenshi will know when the time comes," Lingyun said with a smile. "Is there anything else, Your Excellency Seitenshi?"

"To be honest, I am also very interested in the weapon Mr. Lingyun used to crush Scorpio!" Seitenshi said.

"As for that, it is a Level 1 secret of our town; how could I let others know so easily?" Lingyun said with a smile.

"Is that so? That is truly a pity." There was some regret in Seitenshi's tone, but not much, as this was something she had already anticipated.

"However, it is not impossible for the Tokyo Area to obtain this kind of weapon!" Lingyun's tone shifted abruptly. "In fact, I think the Tokyo Area might be the area most likely to obtain this weapon, but at the same time, it might also be the area least likely to obtain it!"

"Really?" Faced with this sudden surprise, Seitenshi's face revealed uncontrollable astonishment.

As for Tendo Kikunojo behind her, other than a slight twitch of his brow, his expression did not change at all.

"However, this kind of thing can absolutely not be handed over so easily, can it?" Lingyun leaned back in his chair and looked directly at Seitenshi.

"I wonder what conditions Mr. Lingyun has?" Seitenshi's tone already carried a hint of urgency.

Although the secret weapon of Lingyun Town remained unidentified, its ability to completely annihilate Scorpio was enough to prove its power. She had previously let Sumire Muroto analyze the remains of Scorpio, and the result showed that the legacy factors of the Gastrea Virus within the remains had completely collapsed. As for how this was achieved, even Sumire Muroto could not analyze it.

If they could truly obtain this mysterious weapon from Lingyun Town, even if it were not upgraded to the ability to eliminate Stage Five, it would definitely be a bane-like existence for other stages of Gastrea.

"I heard that Your Excellency Seitenshi has been trying to push the new Gastrea Law during this period, right?" Lingyun said.

"Uh, yes." Seitenshi nodded, but she still did not understand why Lingyun would suddenly bring this up.

But Tendo Kikunojo, standing behind Lingyun, suddenly had an extremely ugly expression.

"Actually, my condition is very simple. As long as the Tokyo Area passes the new Gastrea Law and implements it thoroughly, and at the same time passes Lingyun Town's inspection, I don't mind providing this weapon to the Tokyo Area." A smile appeared on Lingyun's face. "By the way, this weapon is only effective against Gastrea, and it has no toxicity at all!"

"New Gastrea Law?" Seitenshi muttered, not knowing what she was thinking.

"If Lingyun Town possesses this kind of weapon, shouldn't it be made public to bring this Gastrea war to an end?" Tendo Kikunojo suddenly spoke up.

"I say, Your Excellency Tendo Kikunojo, I think you haven't woken up yet!" Lingyun glanced at Tendo Kikunojo and sneered. "This weapon was researched by the children in Lingyun Town at the cost of immense effort. To want me to hand over this kind of thing based merely on so-called 'righteousness'—you are truly the most naive person I have ever met! Wanting to obtain this thing while not wanting to pay any price—there is no such good thing in the world!"

"If there were no Cursed Children, this weapon could not have appeared. Wanting to enjoy the fruits of the Cursed Children's research while venting one's own stupidity and cowardice on them—this is the most despicable person I have ever seen," Na Yue said.

"By the way, I must add one more point: currently, Lingyun Town is the only place in the whole world that can manufacture this weapon, and the production volume is extremely low. When it was used to eliminate Scorpio before, it completely cleared out Lingyun Town's stock. Before a new batch of raw materials appears, this weapon cannot be reproduced. You still have quite a long time to consider this matter. Also, this weapon does not exist in any paper documentation; everything is hidden in the minds of the Cursed Children," Lingyun said suddenly. "So don't think about hiring anyone to steal it or anything like that. In front of Lingyun Town, that is just a way to send innocent people to the road to Hell!"

After Lingyun finished speaking, he slowly stood up.

"Also, don't think about leaking the information about this weapon and obtaining them through outside forces. As long as you have this thought, you will taste pain that transcends Hell!"

After Lingyun finished speaking, he took Na Yue and disappeared directly in front of them.

"Lingyun, is there really no problem with doing this?" Na Yue asked.

"No, ever since I used Alchemy to establish Lingyun Town, they should have already had some kind of suspicion; I am just confirming their suspicions now," Lingyun waved his hand and said. "Moreover, with such an identity weighing on them, they surely wouldn't dare to act recklessly; after all, my words earlier were not a joke."

"Word of Power?"

"That's right, it's Word of Power." Lingyun nodded. "What I am more curious about now is, faced with the opportunity to potentially completely eliminate Gastrea, what choice Tendo Kikunojo will make."

"Tch, what a guy with wicked tastes!" Na Yue shook her head with some helplessness.
