Chapter 700

He is the future male master of the Son of Heaven's residence.

If you kill me, you will definitely die.

Hoshinaga Takuhito spoke incoherently, but the words he uttered made the Holy Son of Heaven's expression shift.

Hoshinaga Takuhito's humiliation need not be mentioned—he openly declared he would become the future male master of the Son of Heaven's residence. Even the Holy Son of Heaven, known for his gentle nature, could hardly bear to listen.

"...... I'm a little frightened by you!"

Ikusaba's lips curled into a grotesque smile as he stepped forward and appeared directly before Hoshinaga Takuhito.

"This is the first time I've ever heard someone dare threaten me!"

Ikusaba's face showed a hint of self-mockery and disdain, "I am a villain. Do you even know what a villain is?"

Hoshinaga Takuhito's expression turned ruthless; he pulled a second pistol from behind his back and fired at Ikusaba's head.

Clang! The bullet deflected again.

This time, the bullet pierced Hoshinaga Takuhito's chest. He collapsed to the ground, coughing blood.

Hoshinaga Takuhito finally understood what had happened—his eyes wide with terror, he screamed in utter disgrace, "How is this possible... You're not human! You're a monster... How can a human be immune to bullets and reflect them back?!"

"I've never denied I'm a monster. I've always been a monster and a villain!"

Ikusaba smiled and gently inserted a finger into Hoshinaga Takuhito's wound.

He watched with interest as Hoshinaga Takuhito shrieked in panic and asked, "Have you ever... seen the flower that blooms from blood flowing backward?"

Hoshinaga Takuhito's pupils shrank sharply.

Ikusaba exhaled.

Vector manipulation activated.

In an instant, all of Hoshinaga Takuhito's blood reversed direction—his body exploded with a thunderous boom, spraying blood in all directions.

Those... who had been crawling helplessly on the ground—the various magistrates—and the surviving guards who had been wounded earlier—all had blood splashed across their faces.

Some guards, overwhelmed by the shock, could not hold themselves—legs stiffened, eyes rolled back, and they fainted dead away.

Toudou Kikunosuke sat calmly beside the Holy Son of Heaven, unmoved.

Even though Hoshinaga Takuhito's death was so gruesome, he merely twitched his cheek slightly, his expression unchanged as he calmly stared at Su Han.

Though Ikusaba was powerful, Toudou Kikunosuke had already deduced from Ikusaba's actions that Su Han was the true mastermind.

"Young man! Your strength is impressive! Or rather... extremely impressive—beyond my expectations!"

"Though I do not know why you appeared in this meeting room and slaughtered without mercy, nothing is beyond negotiation!"

Toudou Kikunosuke paused slightly, then said, "Whatever power, wealth, or woman you desire—speak plainly!"

I still have some influence in Tokyo.

I'm certain I can satisfy your demands.
