Chapter 545: The Tragic Baoxie Zhuoren

"Lingyun, tell me, she'll be alright, won't she!" Looking at the operating room with its red light on, Satomi Rentaro asked Lingyun beside him with some worry.

"Rest assured, she will be fine!" Lingyun comforted him. "You know what that decadent scientist is capable of; as far as I know, you were in that state back then and she still managed to save you. Now, it's just a surgery to transplant an artificial kidney; it's a piece of cake for her! Besides, I'm here!"

After agreeing to Lingyun's conditions, Tendo Kisara showed powerful initiative at the first opportunity, starting preparations for her artificial kidney transplant. During this period, Satomi Rentaro also put in a great deal of effort; not only did he borrow a significant loan from Lingyun, but he also persuaded Sumire Muroto—one of the Four Sages who performed his own mechanical soldier transformation surgery—to personally perform the surgery for Tendo Kisara. To coax Sumire Muroto out of the basement where she lived in the hospital and performed unauthorized modifications, Satomi Rentaro had paid a heavy price.

Of course, to ensure that this surgery would not have any errors, Lingyun also came to the front of the operating room. The entire operating room was shrouded in his Divine Sense; if any complications arose during this surgery, he would be able to intervene at the first moment.

"Ding—"

Just as the two were talking, the red light representing that the surgery was in progress dimmed, and the door to the operating room was pushed open.

"How did the surgery go?" Seeing Sumire Muroto taking off her mask, Satomi Rentaro hurriedly went up to meet her.

"Rest assured, the surgery was very successful. As long as she recuperates well for a period of time, her body will be able to return to normal!" Sumire Muroto glanced at Satomi Rentaro, then shifted her gaze to Lingyun.

"This must be the founder of Lingyun Town, Mr. Lingyun, right!"

"That's right, it's me." Lingyun smiled and nodded. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Sumire Muroto, one of the Four Sages."

"What Four Sages, that's just the past!" Sumire Muroto waved her hand. "On the contrary, I am very interested in you! If you have time, why not come to my private laboratory for a visit!"

"If I have time, I will pay a visit!" Lingyun nodded.

To tell the truth, he was also very interested in this Sumire Muroto, one of the Four Sages. According to Satomi Rentaro, she had almost completely analyzed the components of the Gastrea Virus Inhibitor he had developed. And the substance that ultimately could not be analyzed was the Purification Light within the inhibitor. From this point alone, one could see Sumire Muroto's powerful strength in scientific research.

"Rentaro, little Kisara is in your hands now. It's been a long time since I left the laboratory; after being out for a while, I feel like my whole body is out of sorts!" Sumire Muroto said to Satomi Rentaro, and then left the hospital.

"Ms. Sumire Muroto really is a maverick!" Watching Sumire Muroto leave in such a dashing manner, Satomi Rentaro couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and say.

"As one of the world's top scientists among the Four Sages, it's not hard to understand that she has some unique personality traits!" Lingyun reached out and patted Satomi Rentaro on the shoulder. "Tendo Kisara is in your hands for this period; tell her not to be anxious. Dealing with the Tendo family cannot be done overnight; we have plenty of time."

"This, Lingyun, is there really no possibility of reconciliation between you and the Tendo family?" Satomi Rentaro asked with some difficulty.

"None. I and that old man Tendo Kikunojo are people born on two opposite sides. My wish is to protect the Cursed Children, to let them have equal treatment, rights, and obligations as ordinary people, but his goal is to eliminate all Cursed Children. From this point, we already have no possibility of reconciliation!" Lingyun's tone was very calm. "As long as Tendo Kikunojo exists for one day, the Cursed Children in the Tokyo Area have no possibility of living a happy life. Because that old guy will definitely try his best to stop all of this, and then send them all into the Hell he speaks of."

Listening to Lingyun's words, Satomi Rentaro couldn't help but fall silent. No matter what, the Tendo family had once adopted him, and Tendo Kikunojo had once groomed him as the next generation. Now, suddenly hearing that Lingyun was going to deal with the Tendo family made him feel very conflicted.

"You don't need to intervene in this matter. Over these years, Tendo Kikunojo has secretly done who knows how many things to Lingyun Town; some of these things are already impossible to undo!" Lingyun patted his shoulder. "Leave these matters to me; your task now is to take good care of Tendo Kisara and that naive Seitenshi."

"Take care of Seitenshi?" A bunch of question marks appeared above Satomi Rentaro's head.

Just as he wanted to ask Lingyun why he said that, Lingyun had already turned and left the hospital.

Tokyo Area, Seikyo, conference room.

"Seitenshi! Seitenshi!"

Seitenshi, who was discussing official business with Tendo Kikunojo, couldn't help but frown upon hearing this voice, and then looked in the direction from which the sound came.

"Bang—" The door of the conference room was slammed open, and a group of Seitenshi's guards led by Baoxie Zhuoren rushed in. Although there were other guards blocking them, they clearly could not stop Baoxie Zhuoren and the others who were almost falling into madness.

"Let them in!" Before Seitenshi could speak, Tendo Kikunojo said coldly.

Hearing Tendo Kikunojo's words, the other guards stopped their obstruction, letting Baoxie Zhuoren and the others rush in front of Seitenshi and Tendo Kikunojo.

Seitenshi, sitting on the side, frowned imperceptibly, and then quietly watched Baoxie Zhuoren and the others who appeared before her.

"What are you doing?" Looking at Baoxie Zhuoren, who already showed signs of madness, Tendo Kikunojo said coldly.

"Seitenshi, why did you expel us from your guard team, why did you relieve me of my post?"

"Expelled from the guard team?" Tendo Kikunojo looked at Seitenshi with some confusion; clearly, he did not know about this matter.

"I did not mean to expel you from the guard team; it is just that you misunderstood it yourself!" Seitenshi's brow relaxed, and she said to Baoxie Zhuoren with a calm face. "Moreover, since you have already received the notice, then you should also know the reason!"

"What kind of reason is this? Insufficient ability to handle affairs, need for further training—how can this be a reason?" Baoxie Zhuoren roared somewhat hysterically.

"In the last sniping incident, your performance really disappointed me!" Seitenshi said slowly. "In that incident, you clearly showed the shortcoming of lack of experience. When I needed it, you were completely unable to guarantee my safety. After the incident occurred, what I saw was you shirking responsibility to each other, with absolutely no thought of reflection or proposing solutions. You couldn't even find out who leaked my route of action. In this situation, how can you expect me to continue to trust that you can guarantee my safety?" Seitenshi said with a calm face.

"This, this..." Listening to Seitenshi's words, Baoxie Zhuoren's face gradually turned pale.

"In this situation, I did not dismiss you, but arranged for personnel to let you undergo further training to learn the knowledge that a guard officer must possess; this is already out of consideration for your past merits." Seitenshi's tone already carried a hint of severity. "Moreover, don't forget what place this is. You brought people to force your way into the conference room; this is an extremely serious crime. Mr. Baoxie Zhuoren, I am now officially notifying you few: from today on, you are no longer guard officers. Take them away!"

"Seitenshi..." Baoxie Zhuoren, refuted by Seitenshi, turned even paler.

"Now, please leave here!" Seitenshi said faintly.

Hearing Seitenshi's order, the other guards rushed up at once and grabbed Baoxie Zhuoren. Before, they were hindered by the fact that Baoxie Zhuoren was their colleague and were embarrassed to use heavy hands; after all, no one knew if this guy would return to the position of guard team captain. But now that Seitenshi had personally spoken to drive them out of the guard team, they didn't have to be polite. With Baoxie Zhuoren's arrogant personality, he had offended quite a few of them before! A group of people grabbed the six of them, including Baoxie Zhuoren, and dragged them out.

Baoxie Zhuoren, being dragged out, let out a loud roar, but as the door of the conference room was closed, the room once again fell into silence.

"Sage Kikunojo, let's continue our previous topic!" Seitenshi said indifferently, with no intention of explaining anything to Tendo Kikunojo.

Tendo Kikunojo nodded, but a flash of unknown light flickered in his eyes. When Baoxie Zhuoren left, he had faintly heard the name Lingyun in his roar. It seems that during the period he was away from the Tokyo Area, many things had happened!

"Lingyun!" Chewing on this name in his heart, Tendo Kikunojo's gaze became sharp.
