The Ghost Clan is as annoying as rats in the gutter and cockroaches in the sewer. No matter how you target and deal with them, they always resurface every now and then.
Despite years of fighting, the intelligence gathered about the Fierce Ghosts remains scarce.
The number one figure is called "King General", the number two figure is called "Dragon King", and the number three figure is called "Dragon Horse".
This is the information that the Snake Clan currently has on the top three main figures of the Demon Clan. It is just a nickname, and even their specific names and appearances are still a mystery!
Genjiro probably never imagined, no matter how hard he tried, that the so-called number one figure of the Oni Clan, "King General," was actually only one table away from him.
Tachibana Masamune didn't know what Genji was thinking, but on the surface he still had to maintain his "patriarch" persona. "You can rest for a few days after you come back. At the family meeting in a few days, I will formally recommend you to the heads of the family to become the director of the executive bureau."
"it is good."
Originally, Genjiro had applied to graduate early from Kassel College because of Tachibana Masamune's repeated requests, and now that the time was right, he had no reason to hesitate.
"Clap--"
As Tachibana Masamune applauded, the door facing the courtyard was opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a butler led a young girl in.
"Let me introduce you. Sakura Yabuki is my special assistant. You're in need of manpower right now, and one crow isn't enough, so I'm entrusting Sakura to you as well."
"Dad, you..."
At this moment, Genji felt only deep concern from the old man in front of him.
Fortunately, Cao Han wasn't there; otherwise, seeing this scene would have solved the mystery of why Kaito Chisei was so loyal to Tachibana Masamune.
With this outfit, who wouldn't be confused!
Before Genjiro could finish speaking, Sakura Yabuki, upon learning of her impending "fate," immediately knelt on one knee and bowed to Genjiro: "Greetings, Young Master!"
From this moment on, she was no longer the special assistant to the patriarch Tachibana Masamune, but became Genji's assistant and also one of the retainers of the Genji family.
It was commonplace for retainers to switch allegiances in Japan.
Moreover, Tachibana Masamune was right about one thing: if Genjiro were to become the head of the Executive Bureau, he would indeed need a team that would listen to him.
As for the current personnel in the Executive Bureau, most of them are the team arranged by the previous Executive Bureau Chief, Fuma Kojiro.
"If there's a chance, I could invite the specialists from headquarters to my home. That way, I can chat with them about life and such."
"Ok."
Unsuspecting, Genji agreed to Tachibana Masamune's small request.
It was only because Cao Han was in the special agent team sent to the branch by headquarters this time that they would have given him a good "welcome" according to the usual practice of their Japanese branch.
It is an honor to be able to meet Tachibana Masamune, the patriarch, in person.
"Father, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave to go see Erii."
"Go ahead, you, as the older brother, should also pay more attention to your younger sister."
Having just received a reprimand, Genji scratched his head sheepishly, finished his tea in one gulp, and then got up to leave.
Sakura Yabuki quickly composed herself and followed closely behind Chisei Genji as they left.
Leaving the Tachibana family residence, Genjiro got into the car driven by Crow, who had been waiting for a long time. After pondering for a couple of seconds, he gave the order:
"Crow, take me to the Enforcement Bureau first, then buy some gifts for Erii."
"Young Master, aren't you going to visit the head of the Uesugi family in person?"
As a retainer, one should not question one's master's orders, but since it concerned the head of the Uesugi family, the crow quietly confirmed it again.
"I'll be there later, but I need to use the Enforcement Bureau's power to catch that beast, Takeshi Kagawa, first!" Genji was far more resentful of last night's defeat than his face showed.
He always had a feeling that if this heinous mixed-race villain lived in this world for even a second longer, the danger to the young girl would increase.
Therefore, they are even more eager to make up for their mistakes in the shortest possible time.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Sakura Yabuki blinked her long eyelashes and big eyes, listening to the two talking about things she couldn't understand at all, but as a new retainer of the Minamoto clan, she wanted to show off whenever she had the chance:
"Young Master, I was an assassin for a long time. I'm good at killing, so you can leave it to me!"
“There will be an opportunity! But I must personally kill this guy!” Genji shook his head and declined Yabuki Sakura’s offer to take on the task.
Chapter 78 A strange combination of circumstances
Okinawa is a famous seaside resort town in Japan.
July and August are the peak season for vacations during the hot summer months, and you can encounter people of all skin colors on the bustling streets.
Summer, beach, swimsuits...
When Lucy Pallas learned that she was coming to Okinawa, she regretted for a moment that she hadn't brought her "combat gear" with her so that her junior could see it at the beach.
However, when she saw Fingel drive straight into the American base in Japan, she basically gave up on the idea.
Faced with two such "big logs", no matter how good-looking you are, you have no way to use your strength.
When assigning tasks, Von Schneider followed the principle of "doing what you know before you do what you don't," and prioritized assigning this equipment transport mission to Dorocel Reynolds' elite squad.
"Hello, Commissioner Cao Han. I am Dorocel Reynolds, and these are the members of my team."
"Dear Renault commissioner, thank you for your hard work in transporting our equipment this time."
"Let me also introduce you. This is Aslan Roberts from the Academy's Equipment Department. He was the one who developed the diving equipment that Commissioner Cao proposed."
He will explain the specific improvements and usage methods to you later.
The ship entered the port under the pretext of a malfunction requiring temporary repairs. If there are no further problems, we will depart with the ship in five hours.
Renault, who was among the first to receive orders to go to China to monitor Cao Han, knew all too well the immense power hidden within the seemingly unassuming body of this young man.
Coupled with the remarkable achievements she made as soon as she entered Kassel College, it's hard to ignore her.
The Kendo Dojo's "feat" is still talked about with great enthusiasm by students on the Night Watchers forum.
Before his devoted fans could even approach him, news of Cao Han joining the executive department and going on a mission spread like wildfire throughout the academy.
What kind of mission would require an S+ ace to personally take charge?
At first, there were all sorts of guesses, but as the rumors spread, they gradually became more plausible. The most accepted guess was that he went to slay the dragon!
Dragon slaying?!
The students of Kassel College were wide awake when the topic turned to this, and they all started discussing it on the Night Watchers forum by unleashing their "Key Power - Level 3".
Soon after, someone discovered the flight information that Cao Han and his group had taken to Japan.
"Japan? What pure-blooded dragons could be on that little island that's worth slaughtering?"
"I remember there was a Japanese branch over there. Maybe he's going to take charge of that branch."
"Don't talk nonsense. Genjiro is from the Japanese branch. If he were to take charge, it wouldn't be junior Cao Han. It's more believable that he's going to assist Genjiro."
"I think the dragon-slaying theory is more plausible."
"Is there anyone from the executive department who can come out and say something?"
"@Cambridge Folding Knife, @Greenland Shadow"
"..."
Some of the bolder students immediately tagged Principal Angers and Executive Director von Schneider on the Night Watchers forum.
In their view, these two were absolutely certain that they knew the inside story.
In fact, after Cao Han demonstrated his strength enough to overpower Angers, Angers and von Schneider privately discussed and reached a consensus that students like him should not be treated the same as ordinary students.
Therefore, when the other party expressed their desire to go to Japan with Genjiro.
What else could von Schneider do? He could only appease his student. As for the specific reason for going to Japan, he had already asked Cao Han.
At the time, Cao Han simply said, "If I tell you beforehand, there won't be any surprises!"
the other side.
Led by Aslan Roberts, a member of the equipment department, the group entered the cabin, where three large crates of equipment had been delivered.
After lifting the lid, three sets of yellowish-brown diving gear came into view.
Aslan Roberts proudly picked up one of the suits and introduced it to everyone: "This is the diving suit I improved based on Commissioner Cao's requirements."
To prevent mercury corrosion, a layer of sulfur compound is added to the surface of the diving suit. This reduces the risk of mercury reacting with sulfur to form mercury sulfide when the suit comes into contact with mercury.
In addition, we have also improved the requirements for diving depth...
Look closely at this rope. Once you pull it, the wetsuit will fully inflate within 2 to 3 seconds, helping you to rise quickly.
After the introduction of all the functions of the diving suit, Aslan Roberts' nostrils were practically pointing to the sky; he was practically screaming "Praise me!" on his face.
But it didn't even last three seconds before it was shattered by Fingel's next sentence.
"You didn't put any explosive features on the diving suits, did you?"
"Well......"
The Equipment Department of Kassel College, officially known as the Institute for Alchemy and Scientific Engineering Applications, is also called the Watt Alheim Institute.
The above are the official statements made to the outside world. In reality, within the school, including Principal Angers, they prefer to call it a "concentration camp for bomb maniacs".
In Fingel's memory, a seemingly insignificant in-ear headphone, when thrown after pressing a certain button, could produce an explosive force no less than that of a hand grenade.
He used to carry this thing with him for an entire day during his missions.
I still feel a little scared when I think about it now.
Seeing Aslan Roberts's hesitant and stammering expression, Fingel's face darkened, and he guessed that it was probably true.
“Really?!”
This was the first time Cao Han had experienced the reputation of the Equipment Department so closely. He truly lived up to his name as a "bomb maniac," even adding explosive features to his diving suit.
When Aslan Roberts realized he couldn't hide it any longer, he reluctantly turned around and pointed to an inconspicuous little button on his neck: "This is the self-destruct button."
"Simply press this button, and the sulfur on the surface of the diving suit will undergo a rapid chemical reaction to generate heat, and then the extremely high heat will ignite the explosives."
What was supposed to be a proper equipment introduction suddenly turned into a chemistry lecture.
Those complicated chemical synthesis formulas are enough to give anyone a headache.
Anyway, Cao Han understood that these three diving suits did indeed have an "explosive" function.
At this moment, Lucy Pallas timidly raised her hand and asked in a low voice, "What if I accidentally press this button?"
