Chapter 8: Sweat it out, Tachibana Masamune!
Chu Zihang went to the Golden Township to find Konstantin.
The machine god incarnated by Bushun blocked the passage between Musberheim and the present world, and killed the fire giants who poured into the atrium.
Helena and Bina, Faosne, monitor the situation and mobilize the existing forces to support the situation in all directions...... At the same time, Zero also came to Genji Heavy Industries with his own equipment.
Yuan Zhinu, who had just arrived at the chaotic scene, nodded and thanked the cold-looking classmate:
"Thank you for your support, Zero."
"Hmm." As long as it is not for Lu Mingfei, Zero in the action seems to be like gold most of the time," Teacher Helena said, and I need my support here. β
Xia Mi, who "asked for leave to visit relatives", did not mention it for the time being;
Lu Mingfei, a seriously injured patient, really couldn't go out, he was now wearing a pain mask, tortured by Professor Hippocrates, hoping to recover a little more quickly under the professor.
So far, all the five students of this phase of Faos have been able to act in the turmoil in the Far East.
"The eight families of Snake Qi are more or less my 'family affairs'...... Anyway, thank you all very much. Yuan Zhinu smiled gently, "I'll invite you to have a meal with everyone when you have time, at the Night Sparrow Boss's side." β
Zero didn't say much, just nodded, and accepted the kindness by default.
At this moment, they were sitting in the conference room inside Genji Heavy Industries.
The walls of this room are clad in dark wood panels, revealing the passage of time.
Light casts through a chandelier in the corner, illuminating the circular conference table in the center, a single piece of polished black marble topped with an ornate red tablecloth that seems to assert some mysterious authority.
Conference tables are surrounded by calm and plush leather chairs, and each position is equipped with a delicate ashtray.
Even though no one smokes now, it seems that a strong smell of tobacco lingers in the cramped air, enveloping the room in a layer of fog.
The Structural Armor v1.54 on the arm projected several light screens in the air, and Zero unceremoniously occupied the position of the main seat of the round table.
The white Faros uniform coat was draped over the shoulders, and the girls' uniforms, which resembled sailors' uniforms, removed the short sleeves on the sides, revealing the girl's white arms.
A gauntlet made of white armor and metal structure covered her left arm and down to her shoulder, where a blue octahedral crystal was embedded in the center of the shoulder.
The gauntlet, imbued with the beauty of mechanical construction, is the crystallization of the highest technology she has mastered today.
Several men in black feathers or suits stood around her with their heads bowed deferentially, like loyal domestic servants, who did not dare to trespass, making it impossible to believe that they were part of the underworld that controlled the largest violent group in the country.
When Gentoshi arrived with Uesugioshi, they lowered their heads even harder.
They have already realized the strength of the other party in the hands of Zero's little test, and in accordance with the nature of the race, they naturally obeyed the orders of the strong.
Compared to a petite blonde girl, a handsome young man with a bright red ghost horn is obviously more likely to make them fearful. Such an awe-inspiring inhuman posture, coupled with a beautiful and glamorous face that seemed to be not human, couldn't help but remind them of a famous Rashomon ghost in myths and legends, so they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of him.
"The eight families of Snake Qi are quite straightforward in their actions." Zero looked at several pictures displayed in mid-air, and said softly: "Evacuate the people, guide the evacuation, they do a better job than the police." β
What was shown on the light screen was the real scene of Tokyo captured by her improvised microsatellite.
Although the fire giant was pulled into the mirror realm to solve it as soon as possible, its arrival still brought a shocking vision, and at the same time triggered a stress response in this earthquake-prone island country-
An earthquake with a magnitude of no less than 6 took Tokyo as the epicenter and swept through several surrounding prefectures.
"Of course, residents are naturally more afraid of violent mafias than the police."
Yuan Zhinu knew this country too well, and his crossed eyes looked down at the underworld who did not dare to look at him, and said indifferently: "Fear of power but not grace, this is the nature of people in this country." β
The eight families of the snake who have the greatest violence in this country are feared only by foreign forces represented by the Kassel Academy.
Hearing his words that were almost insulting, the people around him seemed to be about to bow their waists to ninety degrees, and they did not dare to raise any objections.
No matter how nice it soundsβ
The so-called underworld is such a creature.
With one command after another, he assigned the accurate personal deployment tasks to the members of the eight families who were now active, urging them to complete the work of disaster evacuation and rescue as soon as possible.
"Do you have to wait...... Where is the current patriarch of the Eight Snake Families, Tachibana Masamune? β
Uesugi on the side lowered his voice and asked a little hoarsely.
Uesugi Koshi, who had returned to this familiar and unfamiliar place with Gen Zhi, was now cautiously watching the blonde girl who was indifferently giving orders.
Decades later, revisiting the old place, the appearance of the eight families of Snake Qi has made this former patriarch feel unfamiliar.
But what shocked him even more was that this girl, who was wearing the same uniform as his son, could so skillfully mobilize these supposed arrogant and cunning underworlds...... This kind of skill and courage made him feel a kind of embarrassment that "the times are different".
He, the former emperor of the underworld, seems to be outdated......
For his son and the group of people behind him, holding the dark half-race organization of a country in his hands may be just dust that can be wiped off at will.
Zero raised his head and looked at the old man dressed like a ramen chef, as if a mirror-like reflection flashed in his golden eyes.
The "Mirror Hitomi" was activated instinctively, and Uesugi suddenly felt like he was completely seen through.
She didn't answer Uesugi Koshi's question, but just glanced indifferently at the crow leaning against the wall not far away, which made the well-dressed Gen family retainer sweat.
"The patriarch ......"
The crow was about to say something to appease the evil spirits who were very difficult to provoke at first glance, when the wooden sliding door beside him was suddenly opened.
Yabuki Sakura, who was wearing a secretary's uniform, stepped into the conference room with the sound of the wind and said to several people:
"A few of you, please come with me, the patriarch and the head of the family are waiting for your visit."
Witnessing the power of the fire giant's destruction, and the unparalleled divine power of the red black machine god transformed by Bu Shun, the original worldview was shattered and reorganized...... No matter how strong she is, this very well-dressed woman can't hide her tiredness at the moment.
Looking at the sight of the childish girl, there were even more fears that she had not realized herself.
But she still held on, not allowing herself to show half of her weakness, and bowed her body neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The arrival of a few people is the honor of the Eight Snake Qi families...... No matter what you ask, the Eight Families of Snake Qi will do their best to meet them. β
Without waiting for the source to speak, Uesugi on the side showed a sneer:
"The Eight Snake Qi families control the leading role of the underworld in the Far East, and their influence is all over the gambling industry, customs industry, real estate and so on."
"Whether it's a popular beauty star or a lively and cute girl idol, it can be used as a bargaining chip...... No matter the taste, no matter the age, you can always get it. β
"Whether you want expensive real estate or a lot of money, you can be satisfied."
He looked at Yabuki Sakura, whose face changed slightly, and sneered, "But what if I said that I want that fake fake identity to roll off the seat of the captain?" β
In the quiet room at the other end of the Genji Heavy Industries Building, Tachibana Masamune, who was eavesdropping on the movements in the conference room through the miniature communicator Sakura carried, suddenly had a stunned look on his face.
And...... Unbelievable.
Yuan Zhisheng, who was kneeling beside him with a bandage on his head, was also struck by lightning.
One more chapter, well, it's the third update today (although it's already past twelve o'clock)
