A Dark and Windy Night

"That Mr. Domyouji, how could he resort to such despicable means!"

Shaking his head, the thug said with a wry smile.

"Miss, you don't think the Domyouji family is anything good, do you?"

He then recounted what he knew about the Domyouji family.

Although the Domyouji family is a prominent family in this town, its history of rise to power is quite dark.

They used to be a group of ruthless bandits who robbed the rich and exploited the poor.

Even after settling here, they did not give up their original jobs; they just changed the way they did them.

Even today, they are still conducting many secret transactions that are unknown to the public.

Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, they will package themselves and do some good deeds to gain a good reputation.

"You know quite a lot."

Somewhat surprisingly, an ordinary thug could know so much.

"Because my ancestors were held hostage by the Domyouji family, and have been doing dirty work for them ever since."

The Scribe nodded but didn't say anything more.

Although this hoodlum's background sounds pitiful, it is undeniable that he himself has done many wrong things.

The Scribe will neither despise nor criticize such a person, nor will he pity or sympathize with him.

The best option is to observe silently from the sidelines.

"Clean this place up, and drag Ikegawa away too. You can turn yourselves in afterward."

After a moment of silence, the Scribe suddenly spoke.

"Which direction is Domyouji family in?"

"In that direction, there is a large courtyard with a golden lion in front of the gate."

The thug swallowed hard as he pointed in a direction to the Scribe.

He seemed to have a vague idea of what the Scribe wanted to do.

But he also knew that these were not questions he should ask.

For him, being able to survive was the greatest stroke of luck.

"Perhaps today is a chance for me to start anew."

He bowed deeply to the Scribe and said respectfully.

"Sir, please be careful."

After saying that, he called a few people, and they carried Ikegawa away from there.

The Scribe let them leave, without any concern that they might do as he said.

After all, he's the kind of person who doesn't fight unprepared battles.

After the thugs left, the Scribe looked at Kanroji Mitsuri.

"You shouldn't go. There are some things you're better off not seeing."

"Mister Scribe, what are you planning to do..."

"Um."

Nodding, Scribe looked in the direction of Domyouji family.

"Although eliminating the cancer is not my mission, it has already crossed my line, so the situation is different."

Chapter 216 A Dark and Windy Night

Meanwhile, inside the courtyard of the Domyouji family.

Having just finished eating and taken a shower, Domyouji Shinya felt much better.

Today, due to his family's arrangement, he had no choice but to go on a blind date.

At first, he was quite satisfied with the woman's appearance, but after learning that she was the strange woman who had defeated a sumo wrestler a few years ago, he instantly lost interest.

"It's such a pity that he has such a handsome appearance."

A wicked smile appeared on his face, Domyouji Shinya seemed to be thinking about something.

"Otherwise, it's still okay to have some fun."

Just then, the voices of servants suddenly came from outside the room.

"Young master, the master is looking for you."

"Okay, I'll go in a bit."

He waved his hand impatiently Domyouji Shinya muttered to himself.

"What's wrong with that old codger now? Didn't I already prepare the people who were supposed to pay tribute to him?"

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, he still got up and left the room.

Let's move on to another luxurious room. Once inside, the head of the Domyouji family is sitting in the main seat.

Domyouji Aiki.

Not only that, but all the other members of the Domyouji family were gathered in this room.

When he saw his son arrive, He Ji nodded and gestured for him to sit down.

Zhen also realized the importance of this meeting and did not give him a hard time.

After everyone was seated, He Ji coughed and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"Gentlemen, the reason I've called you here today is not for any other reason than that lord has demanded that we double the amount of tribute we offer."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Domyouji family immediately became restless.

"Double it again? That's impossible!"

"That's what I mean. If this continues, what we're doing will no longer be able to be kept secret."

"With so many people disappearing in such a short time, the townspeople aren't stupid; they'll definitely notice."

He frowned. Although he had anticipated this scene, such a commotion was clearly disrespectful to him as the head of the family.

"Quiet, quiet!"

He slammed his fist on the table a few times and shouted.

"I know this is a difficult matter, so I've called you here to discuss a solution."

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.

"Who's blind? Have they forgotten that servants aren't allowed to approach when the Domyouji family has a meeting?!"

Domyouji Shinya roared, his face full of anger.

"Well, Mr. Domyouji, there's something I feel I need to say."

A man's voice came from outside the door, as if he had something to tell them.

"What is it? Speak quickly, or I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"

Standing up, Domyouji Shinya walked towards the room door.

He was in a very bad mood and planned to break the servant's legs after hearing what had happened, so that he would know the consequences of angering the Domyouji family.

Even if he went out and complained, given the good reputation his family had deliberately cultivated over the years, probably no one would believe him.

Standing behind the door, Domyouji Shinya said impatiently.

"Just tell me quickly, keep it simple."

However, after he finished speaking, there was no sound coming from the other side of the door.

"What the hell is going on?!"

His anger surged again, Domyouji Shinya slammed open the door, intending to give the servant a good scolding.

But at that moment, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

When did the servants in the household start addressing the Domyouji family members as "sir" instead of "master"?

However, by the time he realized this, the door to the room had already been pushed open.

On the other side of the door was the Scribe's indifferent face.

The moment he saw that face, he froze in place.

Before he could even shout, a dark figure had already appeared in his field of vision.

With a soft thud, Domyouji Shinya's head was severed, and blood gushed from his neck like a fountain.

The flying head tumbled a few times in the air before finally crashing onto Domyouji Aiki's table.

Looking at his son's head, He Ji's eyes widened instantly.

"Shinya!"

With a loud roar, He Ji clutched his still-bleeding head, his face filled with unconcealed terror.

As he strode into the room, Scribe scanned the faces of everyone in the Domyouji family.

"There are quite a lot of people. It seems I arrived at the right time."

Who are you?!

His breathing became quite rapid Domyouji Aiki looked at the Scribe's face, trying to make out his features.

But in the end, he couldn't remember where he had seen this young man before.

With a kick, he sent a member of the Domyouji family who was trying to escape crashing to the ground, and the chill in Scribe's eyes grew stronger.

"Speaking of which, you guys have done quite a lot in the dungeon."

No sooner had he finished speaking than He Ji flipped the table over.

Completely lacking the demeanor of the head of the Domyouji family, he took the opportunity to bend down and hide behind the other members, trying to run out of the room.

He already understood that the man before him had come to destroy the Domyouji family.

Otherwise, how would he know what he and the others did in the dungeon?

"Speaking of which, I think I forgot to greet you."

Looking at the table that was being hurled at him, the Scribe sighed and said calmly.

Good evening, and goodbye.

He raised his sword high, and then the Scribe began to spin rapidly.

Suddenly, a "meat grinder" appeared in the room.

Every member of the Domyouji family caught in the crossfire instantly suffered countless slashes on their bodies.

Their bodies, covered in grease and fat, were no different from a blank sheet of paper in front of the Scribe.

It only takes one or two breaths to chop it into pieces.

Of course, the Scribe wasn't that perverted.

Everywhere there were the wails of the Domyouji family members, everywhere there was splattered blood, everywhere there were severed limbs.

The sound was so loud that it could be heard clearly even outside the courtyard of the Domyouji family.

When the relevant personnel arrived, all they saw were corpses scattered all over the ground.

The entire Domyouji family has died.

They had no idea what was happening here, let alone how the Domyouji family had offended such a demon.

Many people couldn't bear it and knelt on the ground to vomit.

Some people felt it was unfair that the Domyouji family had suffered such a fate, that such a good family should have to go through such a thing.

Just then, a longsword covered in blood was discovered.

The longsword was stuck in a wall, along with several sheets of paper and a thick notebook.
