Visiting the Hyaku-u Family / The Taisho-Era Noble Meeting
"I don't know, I don't know, you don't know anything I ask you, what use are you!"
With a flick of his wrist, Dichai's head vanished into thin air and reappeared in Muzan's hand.
"You promised me that your legion plan would be of great use to me, but now it's all gone. Do you expect me to wait another hundred years?!"
As he spoke, he crushed Dichai's head.
"My lord, please listen to me."
"While recovering, "Dichai said.
"Although the legion has been destroyed, the plan has made great progress."
"One of the ghosts under my command accidentally accelerated the slow progress by a large margin."
"Not only that, I discovered that the Scribe was with a ghost."
He waved his hand Muzan and said with a hint of disdain.
"I'm tired of hearing about him being with that guy Tamayo."
"It's not Tamayo, it's a male demon."
"Now that my head has fully recovered, "Dichai continued.
"To be precise, they should be two demons, seemingly siblings, whose strength may have reached the Upper Rank level."
"My brother's name is Gyutaro, and my sister's name is Koume."
Upon hearing Dichai's words, Muzan stopped what he was doing.
"You mean to say that a new ghost has escaped my control?"
Muzan couldn't possibly have been unaware of a demon whose strength had reached the Upper Rank.
Just when he thought Dichai was lying to him again, Dichai's next words piqued Muzan's interest.
According to Kamihito Ichi, these brother and sister should have lived more than a hundred years ago, but they are still alive today.
"Therefore, I think that Tamayo has a sophisticated method to turn humans into demons."
Chapter 429 Visiting Hyakuya Family
Meanwhile, the Scribe had already left the Hyakuya Shitsu Entertainment District with the warriors, including Hyakuyu.
Just as he said before, the tasks that followed were not for samurai to do.
Having completed their mission, they were to return to their respective families to report.
Scribe then planned to accompany Hyakuya Shitsu to visit Hyakuya Family.
Before leaving, Shinri Kōjin made one last invitation to the Scribe, but was refused.
"I promised I would go, but not now."
After leaving those words, Scribe followed Hyakuya Shitsu away.
After several days, they finally arrived at the city where the Hyakuya Family lived.
It must be said that although the Hyakuya Family is somewhat inferior to the Shinri Family, they are still among the top.
The city where it is located is very luxurious, and the surrounding buildings are also very beautifully decorated.
"That's the main family's residence."
Pointing to a large courtyard not far away, Hyakuya Inowa, who was standing next to Scribe, said respectfully.
"Lord Shi has already gone in to inform them, and we'll have news soon."
Sure enough, not long after, Hyakuya Shitsu ran out of the courtyard, her face showing a hint of excitement.
"The clan chief has agreed. Please come with me, sir."
After saying that, he spoke to Hyakuya Inowa.
"Ina, you must be exhausted too. Lead the others to rest, and then organize the information obtained from this mission and report it later."
"Yes, Your Excellency, please don't forget to rest."
Nodding, Hyakuya Inowa led the other warriors away.
"That guy really admires you."
"Dao and he have no father or mother; I've basically watched them grow up since they were little."
With a smile, Hyakuya Shitsu's face showed a hint of emotion.
"He is different from me. He will definitely become a pillar of the Hyakuya Family in the future. He is a talent who can do great things."
The Hyakuya Family members are all related by blood to some extent, and there are countless factions among them.
As someone with no background or connections, I've managed to get to where I am today, and I've basically seen the end of my road.
Especially after she started to decline, Hyakuya Shitsu felt that the hostility around her was increasing.
Many people who were once respectful have started to engage in underhanded tactics behind people's backs.
But Inawa was different; he never changed.
It seems like he'll always be that little brat following me around, begging for candy.
As a rising star in the family, Daohe is young and promising, and is highly regarded by the clan leader and many elders.
Such people insist on staying by your side to carry out dangerous and thankless tasks.
Hyakuya Shitsu had hinted, and even directly told Daohe, that he should pursue his own future.
But from beginning to end, Inawa kept agreeing with him while still following him.
"Oh dear, I think I've said a bit too much. I'm sorry, sir."
Hyakuya Shitsu an awkward smile and then gestured for him to proceed.
"Let's hurry inside, the clan chief might be getting impatient."
As he spoke, he walked ahead, drawing people along the way.
Looking at Hyakuya Shitsu's tall figure, Scribe felt that the other person was somewhat hunched over.
"I'll lend you a hand, and I hope your life will be better from now on."
Shaking his head, the Scribe followed.
After turning left and right, the two finally arrived at a reception room.
"The clan chief is here with you, sir. Please come in."
Nodding, the Scribe prepared to open the door and go inside.
"Wait a moment, sir."
Suddenly speaking, Hyakuya Shitsu said somewhat embarrassedly.
"That, it's..."
Looking at his dark, yet slightly flushed face, the Scribe understood what he meant.
He sighed, then patted Hyakuya Shitsu on the shoulder.
"You stay here and don't move."
Just when Hyakuya Shitsu that Scribe had forgotten what happened before, the latter suddenly spoke again.
"Going out to purchase imported goods is tiring; you should be mentally prepared."
Before he could react, Scribe pushed open the door and went inside.
It wasn't until the door was closed that Hyakuya Shitsu to her senses, and an excited expression appeared on her face.
The interior of the room was not as ornately decorated as the Scribe had imagined.
On the contrary, although it is very simple, it has a wonderful charm.
At least in Scribe's opinion, this was much better than the room where Dichai was.
"Are you the gentleman Xiao Shi mentioned?"
An aged male voice came from the sofa in the living room.
Looking around, the Scribe spotted an old man.
His face was covered in wrinkled, matted skin, giving the first impression of a hundred-year-old tree bark.
Age spots covered his entire body, making him look somewhat unsightly.
His body was devoid of any life, as if he would die at any moment.
But this old man was the one who held the highest power in the Hyakuya Family and whose life was in the hands of the entire clan of a thousand people.
Clan Chief, Hyakuya Ryufu.
"Please sit down."
The old man's cloudy eyes shifted slightly as he glanced at the Scribe before speaking.
"I won't pour you tea in my current state. Please make yourself at home."
"It's alright, except for one guy, I still respect the elderly and care for the young."
With a smile, Scribe sat down on the sofa opposite Hyakuya Ryufu and poured herself a cup of tea.
After taking a sip, Scribe's eyes lit up slightly.
"It's a pretty good tea; it must be an imported product."
With a chuckle, Hyakuya Ryufu spoke.
"If it's Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals, they should be able to get something better."
The Scribe, who was drinking tea, narrowed his eyes and asked in return.
Did I ever say that I work for Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals?
"No, but Xiao Shi told me a little about you, so I guessed."
With a trembling hand, Hyakuya Ryufu picked up an empty teacup and said.
"Young man, shouldn't you pour me a cup of tea?"
With a raised eyebrow, Scribe gave him a strange look, but still poured him a glass.
Taking a small sip, Hyakuya Ryufu revealed a satisfied smile.
"Sir, your methods are truly remarkable, enabling you to develop Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals so rapidly."
"Your wife is truly a remarkable woman."
"Compared to today's young people, I, an old man, really feel a lot of pressure."
With a smile, the Scribe replied.
"I usually don't handle things; she's the one who takes care of them."
"That's not how it works. Although you don't show up often, you always help Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals overcome difficulties."
Shaking his head, Hyakuya Ryufu continued.
"If my family has a descendant like you, then even if I leave this world, I will have no regrets about my ancestors."
Upon hearing this, the Scribe understood.
Hyakuya Ryufu, although he knew that he was the manager of Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals, did not know the deeper information.
He mistakenly believed that he had taken over the company from the previous generation and developed it into a large enterprise.
However, it is already quite remarkable for an ordinary person to know this much based on just a few fragmented pieces of information.
"Speaking of which, I should thank you, sir."

"Oh?"
