Chapter 187

holy residence

Under the leadership of Satomi Rentaro, Kisara came to the corridor that seemed to be shrouded in a layer of holy light.

"So big..." Looking around, Kisara muttered softly.

Even though it was not the first time, the sigh was the same.

Even if someone was leading her, she still walked for a long time. If she were alone, she would probably get lost in it within a few minutes.

I have already received a reward of one billion. In theory, I can live the rest of my life in peace and contentment. It’s okay if I don’t accept this commission.

But after all, the client is the ruler of the Tokyo area, Holy Emperor. It would be really not good if he refuses directly.

And anyway, it's just a guard mission. It's not like she hasn't taken on similar jobs before - since Lin Qiao is not good at fighting, the commission is basically completed by her.

Apart from being time-consuming, most of these escort commissions are not difficult.

Basically, I find a place to stand like a stake for a day, and then the work is over.

There are very few situations where you can really run into trouble, or where you need to take action—provided everything goes well.

"We're here." Satomi Rentaro, who was walking in front, stopped.

It’s still the venue where the press conference was held after killing Scorpio last time.

She seemed to be preparing for the next interview. On the white podium, Sheng Tianzi was checking something with two middle-aged men who were standing straight. Although the two men looked serious, she herself looked calm and unhurried.

Two rows of empty chairs were lined up in front of the podium, and people around him were busy. Five or six high-definition cameras were looking at the Holy Emperor on the stage from different angles, as if they were looking for the shooting angle.

When Ki Geng arrived, everything was just coming to an end, so we didn't have to wait too long.

"Gui'an, Miss Kisara."

As always, Shengtianzi showed a peaceful smile and walked towards Mu Geng.

"plz follow me."

She obviously knew that this was not a place for talking, so she took Kisara to a vast room with no one around.

In the center of the room is a small round table and a complete set of corresponding tea sets, while on the other side, there are bookshelves and dressing tables.

It seems that this is not a reception room, but the personal study of the Holy Emperor.

As a bodyguard, Satomi Rentaro and another person were guarding the door.

The maid made a cup of tea for each of them and then walked out of the room, leaving space for the two of them to talk.

"Lord Shengtianzi, if possible, let's get right to the point and talk about the content of this commission."

Mu Geng met the eyes of the Holy Emperor.

When he heard her say this, the calm and elegant expression on the latter's face slowly faded away, and turned into the cold and serious expression he usually showed in front of the media.

"Miss Kigeng, I wonder if you have heard of the name Qi Wu Zongxuan?"

"Qi Wu Zongxuan?"

A name that was a little strange, but not that strange, came into my ears.

Kisara frowned and tried hard to recall information about the other party.

She remembered that at some time before, probably when Lin Qiao had just picked her up, the other party seemed to have mentioned this name to her... although not in a good way.

"If I remember correctly, it seems to be the leader of another region?"

"To be precise, he is the ruler of the Osaka region."

After being beaten to pieces by gastral organisms, the country formerly known as Japan now only has five spaces where humans can survive.

They are Tokyo, Sapporo, Sendai, Osaka, and Hakata.

These five regions were ruled by five rulers.

Just like the Tokyo area under the command of the Holy Emperor.

Qiwu Zongxuan was the ruler of the Osaka area.

"I heard it mentioned by chance that that person's reputation seems to be... very bad."

"That's true. According to Mr. Satomi, Qiwu Zonggen implemented an extremely terrifying dictatorship in his own Osaka region."

In other words, for the sake of the overall development of the region, the value of ordinary civilians is crazily squeezed.

——Generally speaking, this is the survival mode of most areas in this apocalyptic world.

There are very few places like the Tokyo area that still pay attention to people's livelihood.

However, because of this, the assassination attempts on the other side can be said to be countless... although none of them were successful.

"However, recently, President Qiwu suddenly proposed to visit the Tokyo area, but since it was informal, it will not be made public."

The five regions are nominally allies who advance and retreat together, but in fact... there are five people and twenty groups, which should be enough to explain the problem.

"Visit? What's the reason? Someone like him shouldn't just go to other areas casually, right?"

"Unfortunately, we don't know yet, but it's always a little unsettling to come at this time."

As soon as I got the research materials of that mysterious organization from Ki Geng and Lin Qiao, the other party asked for an interview. It was really hard not to think of something.

Especially when this guy's reputation isn't very good.

And what's even worse is that after news broke that Tendo Kikunoshi was seriously ill some time ago, he has now gone to other countries to discuss the import and export of materials and will not be able to return in a short time.

Although she didn't like him very much, she had to admit that compared to her, who was too young in life, Tendo Kikunochei was like a pillar, supporting the Tokyo area.

I am afraid that Qi Wu Zongxuan was aiming for such an opportunity and set out decisively.

——Of course, she would not tell Kisara about this.

"Anyway, if possible, I hope Miss Kisara can protect me as a bodyguard and attend the meeting."

"But Lord Shengtianzi, don't you have your own escort?"

Although he didn't mean to refuse, Kisara still asked curiously.

"And Satomi is also inside. As a mechanical soldier, there shouldn't be any problem with his simple escort mission, right?"

This was one of the reasons why she felt puzzled.

Not to mention monsters like the Slammer, even if the opponent has evil intentions and wants to play tricks, but it is just an ordinary assassin, with his strength, it is basically out of the question.

Facing Mu Geng's inquiry, Sheng Tianzi shook his head in silence.

As if to prevent people outside from hearing, she deliberately came closer and said: "Although I feel sorry for Mr. Satomi, to be honest, I can't completely trust that person..."

The Holy Emperor is only young, but not stupid.

Satomi Rentaro is the spy sent by Tendo Kikunochori - she has known this for a long time.

Because of this, I have always had a grudge.

This is why even though the other party has a relatively outstanding personality and ability, and has made great achievements in investigating the attacker, he has never been promoted.

In the final analysis, Satomi Rentaro is first the next generation political successor of the Tendo family, and then her escort.

Regarding this point, Kisara couldn't argue, even if what they were discussing was his former childhood friend.

‘If I take revenge on the Tendo family, will Satomi help me? ’

Sheng Tianzi's words made her think about this issue again.

Although she had the answer as early as the moment the other party persuaded her to give up revenge.

Chapter 220 A confused girl named Tina

"Besides, when it comes to your own safety, it's better to make more preparations..."

As he said this, Sheng Tianzi involuntarily clenched the teacup in his hand, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

This can be considered a personal experience.

The assassination three years ago is still vivid in her mind. That assassination also caused her to completely lose her only relative - her mother.

If Mr. Howaki, who had just joined the escort team, had not stepped forward, I am afraid she would have died there.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the only person who truly cared for her disappeared.

The great sage in the middle only made her feel cold.

In a certain sense, she kept the position of captain of the escort team. Apart from not trusting Satomi Rentaro, she just wanted him to return safely.

"Then, can you please take over this commission, Miss Kisara?"

"Ah, I understand, I will take it." Mu Ni answered seriously.

"Thank you very much, Miss Kisara."

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Finally, he drank all the tea in the cup and sat up from his seat.

"Please wait a moment, Miss Kisara, there is one more thing."

Just when she was about to get up and leave, Shengtianzi suddenly stopped her again.

"Last time when Captain Howaki was mentioned at the banquet, Ms. Kisara's expression seemed a little strange. If possible, can you reveal it?"

"..."

Ki Geng, who had just taken out his right leg, stopped, but did not turn around. The expression on his face was a little stiff, and then there was a trace of struggle.

"If there is any inconvenience, please pretend that I didn't say it..." As if he saw Mu Geng's dilemma, Sheng Tianzi said empathetically.

"No, it's not really an inconvenience, I just don't know what to say."

Although she had no intention of hiding anything from the other party, it was too much to conclude that the other party's savior was Blood Riot who had done all kinds of bad things based on just one word of mouth.

——But on the other hand, if it were true, it would be terrible.

"Let me explain in advance, Lord Shengtianzi, these are just my guesses. I can't guarantee whether there is any misjudgment or anything else..."

He turned around helplessly and hesitated before deciding to speak.

.......

By the time Mu Geng came out of the Holy Residence, the sun was almost setting, and a ray of setting sun hung on the horizon, dyeing the sky red.

Kisara yawned widely and made a pleasant sound, but then he sighed again for the first time today.

Although there is no substantial evidence, after hearing about Blood Riot, the ruler of the Tokyo area obviously felt depressed instantly.

Originally, she was prepared to be scolded...

But the other party's behavior after that made her feel a little guilty.

Not only did he not pursue this point, but he also personally introduced her to the members of the escort team - but the attitude of those people towards her was predictably indifferent.

It's not incomprehensible, after all, Sheng Tianzi's approach of looking for foreign aid made it clear that he couldn't trust their escort team.

But they couldn't go to their immediate boss, Sheng Tianzi, to cause trouble... So Mu Geng became the one who was in trouble.

That is, because of Rentaro Satomi, the captain who is not the captain, this indifference did not turn into hostility.

"I feel like I have done something bad..."

If the same thing happened to her, she would probably cry, right?

With a sigh, looking at the increasingly gloomy sky, Kisara raised her feet and looked for her motorcycle parked nearby.

But at this moment, a noisy sound made her stop.

Near the fountain, three young men who looked like gangsters were surrounding a little girl who looked about the same age as Enju and Fushimi.

In the sunset, her golden and messy hair fluttered in the wind, and she was wearing a loose pajamas that was obviously ill-fitting.

Her eyes were drooping, almost closing, and she still looked sleepy even when she was surrounded by people.

A bicycle fell sideways.

Judging from the content of their dispute, it seemed that the girl accidentally crushed the foot of one of them while riding a bicycle, and the three people also wanted to extort compensation for this.
