Not long after, Yomo returned from his sister's grave with Arima and Touka.
Many people did try to follow them, but surprisingly, they were all just ordinary people.
They're all at least S-level, so it's no wonder they're so easily tracked.
As for the CCG, or the Washuu Clan, or perhaps the Joker are even more deeply hidden...
Those people were very clear that in the current Anteiku, as long as Gawain, the absolute core, wasn't dealt with, then no matter who they dealt with, it would only make Gawain more angry.
So they simply stopped tracking them altogether.
Meanwhile, outside a coffee shop in Anteiku, Gawain sat with Eto Yoshimura in a park where children play.
The children around them watched as Gawain sat on their swings, and a bellyful of resentment welled up inside them.
However, after seeing Gawain sitting there so leisurely, the parents blushed and pulled their children back.
What a beautiful scene! The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful; they couldn't bear to break it.
As for why the children are allowed to come out and play...
It's not that the parents are careless, but rather that the trouble Gawain caused last night is far from enough to make every ordinary person afraid to leave their house.
Gawain's intimidation was more directed at the higher-ups. Now, the Tokyo elites and powerful figures were all on edge, while the lower-class civilians with fewer access to information were still unaware of what was happening.
All they knew was that even the relatively peaceful Anteiku seemed to have become unstable because of ghouls...
But their long-standing experience made them think that even if ghouls went too far, they wouldn't attack a children's square in broad daylight, would they?
Looking at the children and housewives around her, Eto swung her legs a couple of times and laughed.
"So, sir, am I really going to apologize to the CCG tomorrow?"
"What, you don't want to?"
No sooner had Eto finished speaking than Gawain asked a question with a hint of deeper meaning.
Upon hearing this, Eto gently shook his head, then smiled.
"How could I not be willing? After all, in my opinion, I'm going to show off to the CCG rather than apologize."
The so-called apology is just to make countless people who hate me to the core only watch me, unable to kill me, or even make a move against me.
Hehe, sir, you have quite a wicked sense of humor~.
"This isn't some kind of perverse sense of humor."
Gawain shook his head, then rubbed Eto's long hair.
"This is an attitude, Eto, I want them to see my attitude."
As for how they will respond to me after that?
I don't care about any of that. As long as enough lower-level CCG members know my stance, that's enough. As for their higher-ups, that's just the Washuu Clan.
I think our next step is to completely destroy the He Washuu Clan."
At this point, Gawain glanced around and then casually took a gold ornament off his person.
Then, he opened his palm to the distance.
Whoosh!
With a whooshing sound, two cups of cold drinks suddenly flew over from a nearby beverage shop.
A cup of coffee and an ice cream.
After handing the coffee to Eto, Gawain took a bite of his ice cream.
Ah, it's been so long since I've had this, I'm actually craving it unexpectedly.
Suddenly, Eto leaned over and took a big bite out of the ice cream.
After taking a bite, Eto sipped her ice cream with a blissful expression.
"The taste isn't bad, hehe. Although I can't taste any sweetness and it tastes a bit like lime powder, it's really cool and refreshing~."
Meanwhile, within the CCG.
One hundred and eighty investigators, including Akira Mado, have been promoted to full-fledged investigators.
After that, Akira Mado truly had her first quinque.
Although it was just an ordinary long-range quinque, Akira Mado couldn't help but feel excited and nervous.
Not far away, watching his excited daughter, Mado Kureo sighed softly and continued walking forward.
"Alright, Xiao, come with me, hehe~."
Accompanied by his usual sinister and eerie laughter, Mado Kureo unceremoniously took Akira Mado away.
He was promoted to a new Special Investigator on the spot, so no one would stop him from choosing an investigator's assistant.
What's more, Akira Mado is his daughter.
Hearing her Pops's instructions, Akira Mado nodded helplessly, and then Xiao Bu ran to her Pops's side.
"Father, what are we supposed to do down here? Just now... Arima was waiting for him..."
"Don't mention Arima anymore, Akatsuki!"
Suddenly, Mado Kureo became agitated again, and he slammed the quinque case he was carrying in his left hand onto the ground.
"Although Arima and others achieved things that we could not reach in the past, he is now just a stray dog defeated by ghouls!"
We can no longer take losers as our targets, and we must not let their failures affect us.
This is the quinque I used before; I'll give it to you for now!
I have a new Quinque, so you'll need to train even harder!
Those damn trash are getting more and more arrogant, and their master is so powerful that even we can't handle him.
Even so, we must do what we are supposed to do!
That is, kill the One-Eyed Owl, and also kill every cannibalistic piece of trash we can see!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Mado Kureo, holding the box in his right hand, gestured for his daughter to pick up his old quinque.
Seeing this, Akira Mado picked up her Pops's former quinque.
Feeling the warmth of the quinque case's handle, Akira Mado gently pursed her lips.
While her father was incredibly strict, he also showed signs of going a little crazy.
But in any case, the reason Pops became like this is all because of his longing for Mom.
Even if Pops who loves his mother so much is a bit twisted and cruel, he is still the best kind of father!
But himself... or even a father like that.
Is it really possible for us to defeat that incredibly mysterious Gawain?
On the other hand, within the Washuu Clan.
CCG Director -Washuu Kichimasa left headquarters and returned to his family to meet with Tsuneyoshi Washuu, who was the Chairman of the Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau and also an important member of the cabinet.
After bowing, Yoshitoki knelt before Tsunekichi and expressed his concerns.
After listening to Ji Shi's story and watching the various videos that Ji Shi gave me,
Chang Ji took a deep breath.
Clatter
Chang Ji placed the tablet on the table, raised his head, and stared directly into Ji Shi's pupils with his sharp eyes.
Ji Shi flinched at the gaze, then lowered his head, not daring to look at Chang Ji again.
Seeing Yoshitoki's cowardly and worried appearance, Changji let out a deep breath through his nose and then shook his head.
"Does his appearance have anything to do with us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Ji picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
This teapot is clearly of the finest quality; the water poured out shows no sign of flowing.
It's like a solidified glass column.
Then, Changji picked up the cup, took a small sip according to etiquette, and put the cup down.
At the same time, Yoshitoki raised his head and swallowed hard.
"Lord Changji, Gawain is definitely not from our experimental institution."
Or rather, with... with our current level of technology, it would be very difficult to create such... unimaginable ghouls!
"If that's the case, why are you worried about him? It's auspicious time!"
Chang Ji suddenly slammed his hand on the table.
"Since his appearance was not a mistake we made, then his appearance must have been a scheme orchestrated by them."
Go back to Tokyo and focus on managing the core of Greater East Asia.
As for Gawain...
Regardless of which side sent him as the vanguard, I think those behind him wouldn't want to see Gawain swaggering around here.
Tokyo may be small, but it has the potential to captivate East Asia.
"From this perspective, Tokyo is already quite large; it can be deployed to deal with someone as important as Gawain, whose importance is comparable to a nuclear weapon."
At this point, Changji took another sip of tea and then set the teacup aside.
Savoring the sour, astringent taste in his mouth, which resembled lime powder, Chang Ji breathed out a satisfied sigh, as if he had tasted a delicacy.
"Ha, the cabinet has already contacted the US Congress regarding Gawain's appearance."
As expected, General Dolk must already be ready to deploy.
Compared to the monster brewing on the Americas continent, East Asia, the "sick man," is destined to self-destruct in its ever-changing political ecosystem.
And that secret weapon with black hair, black eyes, and a Shenron- like form.
"Heh, do they think they've grown too big for their britches and want to target us, to break ties with the whole world?"
At this point, Chang Ji completely stopped talking.
Then, he waved his hand dismissively, signaling Ji Shi to get lost.
As the next head of the Washuu Clan, Yoshitoki truly disappointed him.
It was just a minor accident; no matter how powerful an individual is, they cannot change the course of the world. Yet, Yoshitoki was so shaken by this mere accident that he was filled with panic.
So, huh!
This Ji Shi, whom I've been focusing on nurturing, might really not be as good as... that boy named Nimura, who, although not worthy of sharing the same surname Washuu, has stronger perseverance and magnanimity.
After all... he and Nimura had already met!
And Nimura's plans...
Oh!
The young man's ambition and schemes even made this self-proclaimed worldly old man widen his eyes and breathe rapidly!
Just when everyone was in a state of intense preparation.
The integration efforts of Anteiku and Aogiri Tree in their respective areas are also proceeding steadily and systematically.
It wasn't until around 11 o'clock in the morning.
Amidst the heavy stench of blood, all the cadres from Anteiku and Aogiri Tree knelt before Gawain, awaiting his instructions.
Glancing at the crowd below, Gawain put the last piece of beef in his mouth, then placed his knife and fork aside.
After wiping his hands and mouth, Gawain smiled at everyone.
"Have you done everything you were supposed to do?"
"Yes, sir. All hospitals in 20th Ward and 24th Ward are now under our control. At the same time, all ghoul cooperative organizations in these two areas have been either incorporated into or defeated by us."
By now, 20th Ward and 24th Ward can be considered a monolithic entity. Except for a few individuals with extremely low abilities who remain hidden in the shadows of society, everyone with an S-rank rating is here awaiting your instructions."
As soon as Gawain finished speaking, the store manager Kuzen, took the lead in explaining to Gawain.
Listening to Kuzen's words, Gawain glanced around and saw that everyone had indeed arrived. Gawain even spotted a familiar figure.
He peeked out and waved in a certain direction.
"The whole family is here. If I'm not mistaken, that's... Hinami Fueguchi's father, right?"
Swish swish swish!!!
As soon as Gawain finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately turned towards the Fueguchi.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Fueguchi's eyebrows widened slightly, and he scrambled to his feet.
Thump.
He stood up, but then knelt down again. After kneeling, he spoke to Gawain, his voice trembling.
"Lord Sakura Dragon, I..."
What did you call me?
Gawain suddenly interrupted Fueguchi, looking at him with a puzzled Fueguchi.
At the same time, Fueguchi trembled and couldn't utter a word.
It was Eto Fueguchi offered an explanation.
"Grown ups."
Eto said with a smile.
"People in our country have always liked to name the strong, just like how my Pops and I both got the name One-Eyed Owl."
You are now referred to by the CCG as... the volcanic dragon dwelling atop the cherry blossoms~.
After all, the CCG is the force that supports the nation of Sakura in resisting us. Now that they are powerless to resist you, aren't you the Sakura Dragon that makes even Sakura wither?
As soon as she finished speaking, Eto squinted and looked at Gawain with a beautiful expression.
What a beautiful name, Sakura Dragon! Even the CCG, after being insulted, dared not give the Lord such an insulting code name.
Beside her, Touka couldn't help but lick her lips as well.
She has a slightly dry mouth.
Why is it that Sakura Dragon characters get such beautiful nicknames, while I'm stuck being called "Rabbit"...?
It's just a rabbit mask, you could even call it a moon rabbit...
Regardless of the admiration in everyone's hearts, Gawain narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment.
Ha, I've become the Sakura Dragon. So who's the wolf?
After dispelling the smile in his heart, Gawain waved his hand, signaling Fueguchi to continue.
Seeing this, Fueguchi hard, then bowed down again and said.
"My lord, I, Asaki Fueguchi, do indeed have a daughter named Hinami Fueguchi."
I just don't know how you, sir, came to know my daughter. I am... humbled...
"We only met once by chance, maybe in a shopping mall, maybe in a park, it doesn't matter."
In short, I admire your daughter and am willing to adopt her as my goddaughter.
I've heard you're an excellent doctor and also skilled at weapon manufacturing.
"In that case, you will be in charge of the weapons development department from now on."
"Yes, sir."
He took a deep breath, pointing the Asaki Fueguchi down onto the earth.
However, while kneeling and worshipping, Asaki trembled uncontrollably.
Has he so easily gained a very important position in the newly formed Sakura Dragon Group?
So, does Your Excellency intend to adopt my daughter as your goddaughter, or does Your Excellency... he...
After trembling for a moment, Asaki gritted his teeth; he knew he absolutely could not defy the adults!
Even the Grim Reaper Arima Kishou can only kneel before the adults now.
As for herself, even if the adults wanted to do something to Hinami, all she could do was show enough pity for their daughter...
