Chapter 32: Eve of the Decisive Battle

The Matou Family was already an empty shell.

Yesterday, a handsome Norse man emerged from the Matou Family and took over all of its industries. He distributed the cash in the house to the servants, then auctioned off the properties. He then used the immense funds from selling the Matou Family's assets to establish numerous foundations for the purpose of raising orphans, caring for the elderly, rewarding those who act with righteousness, encouraging outstanding students, and helping the unemployed find work...

In this economically depressed island nation, from individuals to the state, everyone was tightening their belts, fearing they might die of poverty one day. At such a time, for someone to give away their entire fortune for charitable causes was like a thousand-pound boulder falling into water, stirring up a thousand waves.

The entire nation was in an uproar! The impoverished were naturally overjoyed because someone was willing to help the poor escape their predicament. The important figures were also happy, as being able to win over such a wealthy individual would bring in a flood of political achievements and wealth.

The magnates of Fuyuki City's commerce and politics were stunned. They had never paid attention to this inconspicuous family, only to realize it was so wealthy. The assets they presented could buy the entire Fuyuki City!

Influential figures with far-reaching connections began investigating information about this Norse man named Matou Zouken. As they dug deeper, information about this man was delivered to the desks of these influential figures.

The last time this name appeared in the island nation was two centuries ago; he was a major figure in the underworld.

The big shots chose to back down with the utmost speed.

"So they sold off everything!" the slender youth sighed helplessly as he sat cross-legged on the rather mediocre tatami mat. "At least leave some daily necessities!"

The previous pear wood official's chair had been sold as an antique. The table, coffee table, and screen had disappeared in the same manner...

The Matou Family was empty, physically empty. Matou Zouken clearly had no interest in these flashy things. He sold off all these Japanese capitalist-style possessions, converted them into cash, and donated them to the Third International.

Second Master, who had returned from studying abroad, would probably cry directly!

Fortunately, Li Zihan was not a sentimental person. A "clean" living environment was not an unbearable situation. After all, he would only be here for a few days before he ran off, win or lose.

In Li Zihan's hand was a Grimoire with an orange-red base and a light gold border. Compared to when it was first created, its appearance hadn't changed much. However, the curse seals attached to this book, under Matou Zouken's full enhancement, had increased their restraining effect on Servants by thirty percent.

It could be confirmed that by using these Command Spells to fully strengthen Alcaeus, he could be strengthened to a degree infinitely close to his true form. If nothing unexpected happened, Alcaeus would then possess strength surpassing that of Archer.

Gilgamesh restrained Heracles, but wasn't Heracles also restraining Gilgamesh? As long as that Noble Phantasm was successfully used, Ea or the Chains of Heaven would both become scrap metal.

Looking at it this way, the greatest threats to him were actually Lancer, Rider, and Saber. If they were to ambush him while Alcaeus and Gilgamesh were fighting, it would be overwhelmingly disadvantageous.

Among the three, Saber could not be killed. Li Zihan's understanding of Gilgamesh was limited to the anime he watched and games he played in his previous life. It was not impossible that he had other Noble Phantasms besides Ea and the Chains of Heaven that could restrain Alcaeus.

In that case, Saber's Excalibur would have to be used as an outside piece to eliminate both Gilgamesh and Alcaeus.

If he did this, it would then be my personal difficult battle. Li Zihan pressed his temples, a little troubled. If possible, Li Zihan did not want to act personally. It didn't matter if he could win or not; he simply disliked using brute force indiscriminately.
