Chapter 13: Shadows in the Light
Early in the morning, Makoto Ito's house.
After enjoying a delicious breakfast cooked by her mother, Shizuko Ito, Makoto and Liliana greeted their mother, Shizuko Ito, and left the house together.
"Lily-chan, come back when you have time. Makoto-chan, you have to accompany Lily to go shopping, and you are not allowed to go to the bookstore or anything. Shizuko Ito, the voice of her mother, came from home.
"I know it." "Excuse me." Makoto Ito and Liliana, who were on the street, responded.
It is a pleasure to walk in the morning light, admire the buildings on both sides, listen to the chirping of birds, and breathe in the fresh air.
"Lily, have all the personnel of the Bronze Black Cross been arranged?" Makoto Ito said to Liliana beside him.
"Yes, King, the members of the Bronze Black Cross have been arranged according to your requirements, and there are 5 members by your mother's side at all times, ready to protect you 24 hours a day. The Ito family also sent a few members to control the scene. In the studio, there are also two members, ready to arrest at any time. Yamada Ichi, the chameleon, and the rat each have a member by their side and can control them at any time. Wang, Liliana didn't understand a little, my mother and the staff sent from the studio were okay, and I sent people to control the Ito family and Yamada Kazukun, Ms. Chameleon, and Ms. Mouse. Hearing Makoto Ito ask about work, Liliana responded in a serious tone and asked questions about what she didn't understand.
"Don't you understand, it's okay, it's not good for Lily to understand this." Ito Makoto looked at Liliana's pure appearance and felt that it was better not to tell Liliana about these conspiracies, crooked ways, and political tricks, so as not to pollute Liliana.
"Liliana is still pure at best. This makes me feel at ease. Makoto Ito thought.
It seems that Liliana, who is following Makoto Ito, will have more and more problems.
"Lily, I'm going to the Ito family's ancestral house now, you go home first to accompany your mother, it's boring for your mother to be home alone. I'm sorry for you. Makoto Ito hung Liliana's nose and said softly to Liliana.
"Woo, then I'll go back, Makoto!" Liliana took a step back, turned and ran away shyly.
"Bronze Black Cross, act according to the plan." Makoto Ito, who watched Liliana run away, turned around and walked towards the ancestral house of the Ito family, with only coldness in his eyes. There was ice on his face that had not melted for thousands of years, and he did not face Liliana's tenderness at all.
"Yes, king, your will, our mission." A female figure stepped out of the shadows, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully.
Seiri Ito ignored the member of the Bronze Black Cross and walked straight to the ancestral house.
Such a mature member of the Bronze Black Cross will know a lot of things.
At least not like Liliana, the silly girl, who blamed Makoto Ito for days for the fight between Makoto Ito and Salvatore Toni who almost died.
Silly girl, that battle is inevitable, who makes what friends, the status and power are equal, I didn't show the corresponding strength, no one will recognize my status as a god killer, the identity of a human guardian, and the authority of the demon king.
Without that battle, without the manifestation of my strength, would you be able to safely join me as a bronze black cross, which would have been eradicated by Salvatore Toni's power long ago. Although Salvatore Toni is a warrior, Salvatore Toni also has the status of the "King of Swords" who leads the Magic Society in Southern Europe. After all, the Bronze Black Cross is also a magic association in southern Europe.
Without the deterrence of that battle, the Bronze Black Cross would have been eaten up by the other magic associations.
Without the manifestation of strength, the bronze black cross may serve me wholeheartedly.
Without the deterrence of strength, the Bronze Black Cross was able to successfully set up a branch in Japan without the interference of Japan's mystical surveys.
It's all about strength.
Makoto Ito thought.
Studio, drunk foursome. 3 members of the Bronze Black Cross.
"Is this the man whom the king commanded? What a piece of rubbish. The members of the Bronze Black Cross couldn't help but sigh when they looked at the four people who were arrested back to the studio full of alcohol, and they hadn't woken up from being caught in the studio from home.
"Okay, don't say more, let's get rid of them, do you want to learn the methods of our Japanese counterparts, pour cement pillars, and sink in Tokyo Bay." A member of the young Bronze Black Cross joked.
"Let's deal with it." Said an older male member of the Bronze Black Cross.
"Death, annihilation, return." With a word of thought, the bodies of the four people slowly dissipated, and they died silently.
The Ito family, the ancestral home. Two people, a game of chess, two cups of tea.
"It's a lot like the last meeting before you go to Europe." Patriarch Ito Hao looked at Ito Makoto who was sitting opposite and said lightly.
"Yes, if the morning light is replaced by the setting sun, it will be exactly the same, dear patriarch Mr. Hiroshi Ito." Makoto Ito smiled coldly at the patriarch Hiroshi Ito.
"Don't you pretend, Makoto Ito, you deserve to be a genius, you have achieved such a great result after leaving the eyes of the family for a while, and you have made friends with so many big people, even I have to be terrified when I face them." The patriarch Ito Hiroshi looked at Ito Makoto a little haggardly.
"Curious? Didn't your eyeliner tell you, or did they rebel in the face of the new situation after returning home, and I specially let them go in Europe, Yamada Ichi, rats, chameleons. Makoto Ito gritted his teeth and said three names word by word, his eyes cold. The only subordinates you can use are the dark lines of the patriarch. It's ridiculous.
"Makoto, when did you find out, I always thought they were well hidden, haven't you always trusted the three of them?" Patriarch Ito Hiroshi said with a little surprise.
"Yes, the three of them are very well hidden, and the reason why they became my subordinates is fine, and there are no flaws in daily contact. I was also able to do what I had arranged. Very dedicated, completely a loyal subordinate. I've always trusted them in their ability to work. Makoto Ito said.
"So, how did Makoto find out? I found out that they were the dark threads that I had planted under you. Patriarch Ito Hiroshi said in surprise.
"There are a lot of flaws, very many, a bit incredible, but I wanted to cultivate them as henchmen at the beginning." Makoto Ito said coldly.
"Then please explain. Honest. What the hell went wrong with my arrangement. Patriarch Hiroshi Ito.
"First, age, I am a genius, but I am a child less than 10 years old, and I was less than 7 years old when I knew the three of them, and there is no possibility for such a child to be able to make an adult surrender, even if this child is a genius, and there is a great favor to them." Makoto Ito.
"It's really a suspicious point." Patriarch Ito Hiroshi said flatly. It seems that there is no interest in Yamada Ichi, the mouse, and the chameleon. Yes, the dark line that was discovered, what's the use, since it's useless, it's understandable that it's not interested. I'm still talking about them, but I just want to know what happened wrong with me.
"Second, ability, I'm not stupid, do you think how much ability a teacher, a homosexual, and a sister can immediately become an investment expert, an intelligence expert, and a fraudster. If they had such great strength, could they have lived so miserably? What do you think, dear patriarch Mr. Hiroshi Ito? When the three of them completed the tasks I gave me perfectly, again and again, I felt that something was wrong. It's the family that is helping in the back. ”
The patriarch Hiroshi Ito tasted the tea and said nothing.
Makoto Ito said with a sneer at the patriarch Ito Hao. "The third suspicion is you, the patriarch Mr. Ito Hiroshi."
"Me!" Patriarch Hiroshi Ito pointed at himself in surprise.
"When I was five years old, I began to follow your instructions and began to learn, etiquette, culture, kendo, finance, politics, etc. No matter how good my studies are and how much progress I have made, the eyes of the patriarch, Mr. Hiroshi Ito, will always be cold and vigilant when you look at me. I have had a lot of contact with the patriarch, Mr. Hiroshi Ito, and I have a deep understanding of what kind of person you are. Since you are very wary of me, then how can you not leave a backhand, the four fools in the studio, I don't think that the patriarch Mr. Hiroshi Ito will arrange these unfashionable subordinates to be the backs. There are only 7 people in the studio available around me besides my mother, not those four stupid people, then there are only 3 people in Yamada, Mouse, and Chameleon. Makoto Ito. Makoto Ito, who is a two-life person, is naturally strong in spirit, and has an instinctive perception of other people's malice.
"Cheng, since you know that they are dark lines, why didn't you deal with them until today." Patriarch Hiroshi Ito was a little puzzled. As for what patriarch Ito Hiroshi will know, Ito Makoto has already dealt with 3 people. After all, Makoto Ito was taught by the patriarch Hiroshi Ito, and the patriarch Hiroshi Ito knew no less than Makoto Ito, and Makoto Ito understood the patriarch Hiroshi Ito.
"I don't have anyone on my hands who can use it, even if I know that they are dark lines and undercover agents, I can only use them. Presumably, the patriarch Mr. Hiroshi Ito got a lot of plans from them, and the family has also developed greatly. Makoto Ito.
In fact, Ito Makoto also had one of the most crucial points that he did not tell the patriarch Ito Hiroshi, Ito Makoto is very protective of anyone, and from the beginning he has malicious speculation about anyone who comes close to him. That's the key to finding the problem.
"Yes, if I hadn't watched you grow up, I wouldn't believe that you were a 10-year-old child, and so many wonderful plans would come from a child's hands. You are so capable, and your family has greatly developed by hitchhiking. Patriarch Hiroshi Ito said with emotion.
"I always felt that as long as I still exist in the family, I can suppress you and let you always work for the family, but I didn't expect that you borrowed from the outside to break the family's suppression of you." Patriarch Hiroshi Ito sighed a little.
"Yes, patriarch Mr. Ito Hao, I am not as good as you, on conspiracy, on conspiracy, on politics, on vision, Taoist experience, I am not as good as you, you have been rolling in conspiracy and intrigue all your life, I am only 10 years old. It's just as it should be. But the amount of equipment is different, you have been fighting in the small place of the Ito family all your life, and I am facing a different world. Yes, the patriarch Mr. Hiroshi Ito is in the Ito family, no matter how hard I try, how hard I struggle, how shrewd, I can't escape from your palm. However, the Ito family is just a small dust in the world realm, and my future should be in the world realm, and my strength does not allow me to be trapped in this small place of the Ito family, so I came. Makoto Ito said to the patriarch Hiroshi Ito.
"The world? So what is there about the little Ito family that is worth coming to you? Patriarch Hiroshi Ito was a little puzzled.
"Nothing, whether you believe it or not, the patriarch Mr. Hiroshi Ito, the Ito family is really nothing in front of me now, and someone will send a force ten times and a hundred times stronger than the Ito family when I move my mouth, but I still came, and everything I experienced in the Ito family must have an end. Otherwise, my heart will not be at peace. Waves in my heart will break my state of mind. Without a pure heart, how can I harness a powerful force? Bronze Black Cross This is the organization to which people who come to the family today, a mysterious force that is relatively powerful in Europe. How could the Ito family, a secular family, resist the power of the mysterious measure. I brought them here. Makoto Ito said calmly to the patriarch Hiroshi Ito.
"What will happen to the rest of the family?" Thinking of the scene of the three easy annihilation of more than 400 people in the Ito family in the morning, the patriarch Ito Hao said with a little shock.
"Who knows, maybe I'll die, maybe I'll be disabled, just kidding, after all, I'm still surnamed Ito, and I'll leave them a way to live, and it's certain that their future life will not be as good as their current life." Seeing that the patriarch Ito Hao's face turned blue when he heard the previous words, Ito Makoto finally said seriously.
"After all, the patriarch Ito Hiroshi is over 70 years old, and it will be a trouble if he accidentally dies of anger." Makoto Ito stood up and thought as he walked outside.
As for the answer of the patriarch Ito Hiroshi, it doesn't matter, what is the effect of an ordinary person's opinion in the face of a strong force. Makoto Ito came to see the patriarch Hiroshi Ito, just to purify his mind.
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive, it's a kind of hope." Looking at Makoto Ito who was far away, the patriarch Ito Hao couldn't help but say.
Makoto Ito is also surnamed Ito.
Abandoned factories.
Yamadachi, the chameleon, and the rat were tied to a chair, gagged, and couldn't say anything.
Around stood 3 members of the bronze black cross, silent.
In the quiet factory, there was the sound of footsteps. It's Makoto Ito who is here.
Seeing the arrival of Makoto Ito, Yamada Ichi, the chameleon, and the mouse struggled excitedly.
"Originally, I didn't want to come to see you, after all, it's too annoying to go undercover or something, but I think you have worked for me for so long and completed a lot of things, and there is no credit and hard work, so I came to see you." Makoto Ito looked at the three people who were excited after seeing him, and said flatly.
"Bronze Black Cross, go and dispose of them, don't be too excited, they won't die, just clean up your memories." Makoto Ito turned to the members of the Bronze Black Cross and said, seeing that the three people were excited after hearing Makoto Ito's words, and said coldly to the three people.
After saying this, Ito Makoto strolled out of the factory. Without looking at the results of the treatment of the three people, he believed that the members of the Bronze Black Cross would understand him very clearly.
On the way home, Ito couldn't help but think of "the most difficult temptation at the Romelit Hotel." "You may have heard of each other's names, but you probably don't know each other, so I'll introduce them first." It's always been a one-way connection, and I've brought you together for the first time, and I've never seen anyone else in front of you, and you've heard each other's names there, and you've all acquiesced, and no one objected. At first, I thought it would be one or two, but I didn't expect all three. ”
"Yamada Ichi, chameleon, the rat will be seen again, no, it will not be seen again in the future." Makoto Ito said softly.
