The sudden words seemed to remind them of something.
In the blink of an eye, the shop manager's expression changed.
If I remember correctly, my daughter came home arm in arm with her parents, right?
She was really not wearing anything?
A quick glance revealed that although the coat was pulled up tightly, it seemed, perhaps, maybe...
She was really not wearing anything!!!
In an instant, Yoshimura Kuzen's face turned green; his daughter was...
I can't think about it anymore, or I'll start thinking about killing someone!
Yoshimura Kuzen's eyes were a little red. He let go of his daughter, looked up at the moon and let out a long breath before he finally calmed down.
At the same time, Eto saw through her Pops's thoughts, so she smiled and then took Gawain's arm again.
"I thought that when we met again after so long, the first thing I would say wouldn't be about the situation that worries you now."
But hehe, sorry Pops, I'm an adult now~~~.
The kind that no one can take away~~~."
As he spoke, Eto breathed a sigh of relief at the old shopkeeper whose eyebrows were twitching, then he looked up at Gawain.
"My lord, it's almost midnight. You should get some rest tonight."
Although things were chaotic on the CCG side, given the magnitude of the incident, the Washuu Clan was quite timid. The bigger the problem, the more they would delay resolving it until the action was deemed appropriate.
So we won't run into trouble tonight; trouble won't come for at least a few days.
In that case, hehe, I'll go to the shop and make your bed right away~~~."
After saying that, Eto naturally pulled her Pops away. In this situation, she still had a lot to say to Pops.
Whether it's discussing the specifics of Gawain's situation or envisioning the future life of ghouls.
Those things would require him to talk to his Pops for a long time.
After the father and daughter left, the remaining people looked at each other.
After a moment, Koma took a breath.
"Was that... really the One-Eyed Owl?"
So, the shopkeeper is just one of the One-Eyed Owl, and the One-Eyed Owl are a father and daughter?
After speaking, Koma looked at Tatara expectantly, after all, Tatara was his daughter's subordinate, One-Eyed Owl.
The store manager Kami; the employees know nothing about him. If you want to know, you should probably ask someone from Aogiri Tree, right?
Faced with Koma's question, Tatara's face darkened.
"I don't know, I don't know anything. Just now, I didn't even know my boss was a little girl."
You two have been working under One-Eyed Owl's father. Would you like to tell me about him?
"We don't know, we don't know anything. The shopkeeper can beat us up even without transforming. We weren't even sure if the shopkeeper was One-Eyed Owl..."
Hearing Tatara's words, Koma quickly shook his head. Now both of them understood. The needle was as sharp as the wheat awn, and half a catty was not enough to laugh at eight taels. They were both completely ignorant fools.
And those who are in charge are all ruthless!
After a brief moment of mutual appreciation, Gawain broke the strange atmosphere in the room.
"Alright, let's stop talking here and go inside the store."
Irimi, Tatara, and Eto will also be staying here. Is there enough space in the shop?
Of course, there were also me and Rize; there were many more people tonight."
"No problem!"
Irimi shook his head without hesitation.
"The store manager is quite wealthy; this entire building belongs to him, so there's room for even more people."
However, sir...
At this point, Irimi cautiously glanced at Gawain.
Would you and Miss Eto like to share a room?
"No need, everyone here will have their own room."
Gawain waved his hand, Irimi Touka immediately turned and left, taking Touka with him as he went.
I'm almost thirty years old, and tonight's events have left me completely bewildered.
Not to mention Touka, a middle school ghoul who has just come of age.
Watching Irimi's departing figure, Rize took a deep breath.
If it weren't for One-Eyed Owl's appearance, she would probably be begging to sleep in Gawain's bed right now.
This piece of meat smells so good! Even if the mouth on top can't enjoy it, at least the mouth on the bottom should get a taste!
However, Rize's hands trembled at the thought of the One-Eyed Owl's recent assertion of sovereignty.
Gawain is indeed terrifying, but Gawain appearance was very sudden.
As for the One-Eyed Owl, her terror and legends have been circulating in ghoul society for decades!
When the One-Eyed Owl first appeared, Eto was still very young. As soon as he appeared, he was chased and hacked to pieces by the CCG, forcing him to flee in a sorry state.
At that time, One-Eyed Owl's wanted level was only SS.
As a result, many years later, the One-Eyed Owl reappeared and nearly wiped out half of the CCG!
In that incident, countless CCG members died, just like Mado Kureo, who had previously shown an extreme hatred for ghouls, a hatred so intense that he could even resist Conqueror's Haki.
His wife died in one of One-Eyed Owl's operations!
After that, the CCG quickly dispatched its elite troops to hunt down One-Eyed Owl. The Washuu Clan also found it difficult to suppress the decision of the entire CCG, so Arima Kishou was sent out to lead that operation.
Result...
That time, they couldn't find the One-Eyed Owl, or rather, they encountered a One-Eyed Owl that was completely different in appearance from the previous ones!
The One-Eyed Owl, now being hunted, seemed to have lost all his ferocity. Not only did he become a little gentler, but he also refrained from killing anyone during the entire operation. Instead, after defeating Arima Kishou, who had not yet reached the pinnacle of his skill years ago, he hurriedly fled.
Since then, the CCG has never been able to find any trace of One-Eyed Owl.
Meanwhile, the CCG also offered some assessments regarding the One-Eyed Owl.
They deduced that after being severely injured, the One-Eyed Owl would undergo a transformation in form and personality, entering a benevolent, non-killing mode.
Therefore, they also call such One-Eyed Owl "the Non-Killing Owl"!
However, the CCG members were unaware that their judgment was completely wrong.
The reason they make mistakes is because their leader keeps leading them in the wrong direction.
Within the entire CCG, only a very small number of people, namely the Washuu Clan family, knew the difference between the One-Eyed Owl and the Non-Killing Owl!
After all, the ruthless Yoshimura Kuzen, whom Non-Killing Owl, was the one who cleaned up the Washuu Clan's mess. They knew Yoshimura's information all too well.
Moreover, compared to simultaneously hunting down Yoshimura Kuzen and Eto Yoshimura, the Washuu Clan was more worried that the two Yoshimura would reveal the secrets behind the Washuu Clan.
Therefore, faced with the dilemma of the Washuu Clan being hesitant to act rashly.
Only the Non-Killing Owl and the One-Eyed Owl had a chance to survive.
It's easy to imagine that from the time One-Eyed Owl first appeared in public until this day.
The ghouls have been terrified by the One-Eyed Owl for over a decade!
The first generation of ghouls were all raised in fear by their parents!
If you don't behave, the One-Eyed Owl will capture you and eat you!!!
In this situation, how could Rize not be afraid?
So, after a long standoff, Rize sheepishly caught up with Irimi and Touka.
Those two girls don't like me?
It's okay!
At least they won't eat themselves!
Seeing that all the women had left, Koma and the others were somewhat bewildered.
After a moment of silence, Yomo Renji, who was standing to the side, pondered and spoke to Tatara.
"Noro... is a member of your Aogiri Tree team, right?"
"Oh, you know Noro?"
I've never heard Noro mention it.
However, Noro is indeed a member of Aogiri Tree, and one of the three high-ranking members, just like me and Eto.
Of course, there are only two senior officials left now.
Because Eto is the owl..."
Tatara rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then they escorted Gawain into the store.
After sitting in the coffee shop for a while and having some coffee, Irimi came to remind Gawain the room had been tidied up.
Gawain's room was undoubtedly the most luxurious in Anteiku. The manager was a rather low-key person. Although he had a lot of money, his own room was always quite ordinary.
The tallest and most luxurious room in the building was originally prepared by the manager for his daughter.
Although Eto may never return in her lifetime, as her father, the shop owner would naturally save the best for her.
Unfortunately, Gawain has now taken this best room...
After arranging the room, Gawain didn't say much and simply went to rest.
Having just traversed a world, I briefly activated the ability to Voice of All Things in this new world.
Gawain himself was also a little tired.
Fortunately, he now has the physical strength of countless people to support him. At the same time, the world's will will not respond to his ability to Voice of All Things. In addition, the abilities of pirates are not active in the current world, so Gawain will not be dragged to the brink of death like in the Pirate World.
Ultimately, he won't be using this ability often in the future, and at this moment, he was indeed asleep.
So, after a large group of ghouls confirmed that Gawain was asleep...
The lights in Anteiku have come back on!
Eto and Kuzen stepped forward, each leading their core subordinates, to begin a formal discussion on the distribution of profits between the Aogiri Tree and the Anteiku.
Of course, they weren't just talking about interests, but also about the scope of responsibility.
Anyone with eyes can see that once the CCG fully reacts, something big is about to happen!
At that time, the most Binge Eater will be the ones who fight for the fate of all ghouls!
In this war, they certainly need to have a good talk about who is in charge of which area.
There are many places in Tokyo where ghouls are imprisoned and where experiments are conducted on them.
Before discussing war, we need to come up with a simple plan first; we can't just wait for Gawain to assign everything, right...?
While the discussions between Aogiri Tree and Anteiku were in full swing...
The Joker, hidden behind all the world's dark forces, also held a brief meeting with a small number of members.
It's not that they share the same habit as Eastern leaders of seeking validation through meetings.
Instead...
Gawain's sudden appearance certainly disrupted the Joker's long-standing plans.
What Gawain did afterward was another story; those things were so outrageous they caused a huge uproar.
Just considering Gawain's actions regarding Rize Kamishiro, he effectively thwarted the Joker's plans at the very starting line...
Meanwhile, at the same time the Joker were gathering for a meeting, the CCG...
Well, the CCG is practically in an uproar right now!
When CCG members were sent to the mountains to search for traces left by Gawain, Mado Kureo and Shinohara Yukinori, who were stranded and unconscious in the 20th Ward, were finally found.
Those members who remained in 20th Ward to collect the bodies, after completing their task, walked a short distance along the main road and encountered a large group of incapacitated people...
This really blew up the CCG!
Because no matter what kind of trouble it was before, whether it was lightning or traces of large-scale ghoul activities, none of those traces harmed the CCG members!
And now...
Shinohara Yukinori, one of the seven top special investigators, and Mado Kureo, a special guy who is in no way inferior to a special-class investigator, led two large teams of people, but they were taken down by the enemy before they could even send out a distress signal!
At this moment, Shinohara Yukinori utter despair on his face.
He was surrounded by senior investigators.
Here, we must discuss the CCG's internal hierarchy of ghoul investigators.
Their investigators are divided into six ranks: Special Investigator, Associate Special Investigator, and Senior Investigator.
All three levels here are referred to as Senior Investigators.
Below them are three ranks of investigators: first-class, second-class, and third-class. They are all referred to as lower-class investigators!
Now, eighty percent of the CCG's senior investigators, including Arima Kishou, are sitting in front of Shinohara, watching Shinohara's dejected and hunched-over appearance.
As for Shinohara, he rubbed his face in frustration, then looked up at his chief with a sullen expression.
"Director Washuu, I really don't know how I lost my fighting ability. It only took a moment. I clearly remember it, but I just felt fear, felt that the other party was supreme, and then I don't remember anything!"
Mado immediately recognized them as ghouls; I was still foolishly thinking they were human because their demeanor really... didn't seem like those savage, bloodthirsty creatures.
In short, in my memory, even when I lost my memory, Mado seemed to still be standing there.
Mado... say something, Mado?
At this point, Shinohara looked pleadingly at Mado Kureo. Shinohara didn't think it was shameful for her to collapse even faster than Mado; what did shame matter as long as she could gather more information?
The key question is, did Mado, who fell into a coma after him, possess more information?
At the same time, upon hearing Shinohara's explanation, everyone, including the chief Washuu Kichimasa, looked towards Mado.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Mado Kureo glared fiercely with his gloomy eyes, then rubbed his neck.
"Damn it, I was knocked unconscious in an instant! How can I possibly challenge One-Eyed Owl when I'm this weak?!"
"Uh, Mado, now's not the time for that. Let's talk about the unusual situation you encountered tonight!"
Hearing Mado Kureo's words, Washuu Kichimasa shook his head unhappily. Mado's fighting strength was indeed sufficient, but his personality meant that he could never let him become a semi-special class or special class!
To the side, after being reprimanded by Washuu, Mado took a deep breath.
Then, he pinched his neck hard and said, word by word.
"It's an aura that's invisible to the naked eye, or perhaps... a sonic attack using kagune!"
When everyone, including Shinohara Toku, collapsed, I didn't hear any unusual sounds, but I felt as if a mountain was pressing down on my back!
