Sister-in-law: I’m really not a fool anymore

While Ye Fan, Yamada Keiko, and Akita Yui were on their way to the Imperial Household Agency, Yamada Keiko received a call from General Akita!

"Your Highness, are you alright? I just heard that the Prince's residence was attacked..."

The person who called was Akita Yui's father, Akita Hirokawa, one of the few important ministers in Japan who supported the Crown Prince!

At the time, Akita Hirokawa disregarded his daughter's objections and allowed Akita Yui to marry the eldest prince, which also showed his support for the eldest prince.

Keiko Yamada's expression was somewhat strange. She glanced at Yui Akita and then said, "I'm fine... Thank you for your concern, General! We're on our way to the Imperial Household..."

"Good! I'm so glad you're alright... I just received news that the King, for some reason, issued a nationwide proclamation declaring you as the sole heir. If anything happens to him, you will directly inherit the throne... I'm heading to the royal palace right now..."

Akita Hirokawa's tone was somewhat grave, "I have a feeling something's not right here! In the current situation, Ye Fan is slaughtering everyone in Japan. I feel the King is trying to use you as a pawn... I need to inform you that I have secretly mobilized three thousand military experts to assemble outside the capital, just in case anything changes..."

This Akita Hirokawa is quite practical, mobilizing so many troops; he really intends to get things done!
"it is good!"

Akita Yui, standing nearby, smiled and spoke up, "Father, you'd better send more men... We were being chased just now, and it was Ichiro who risked his life to protect us so we could escape..."

"what?"

Upon hearing Akita Yui's words on the phone, Akita Hirokawa gasped in surprise, thinking he had misheard.

Because of her marriage to Murano Ichiro, Akita Yui completely broke ties with her father. It's been two years, and she hasn't called him Akita Hirokawa or spoken to him.

And now, Akita Yui has actually taken the initiative to talk to Akita Hirokawa and even called him "father"?
"Yui...did I hear that right? What did you just call me?"

"I called you Father. Is there a problem, Father?"

Akita Yui responded respectfully again, a beautiful smile appearing on her lips, while her fingers quietly moved closer to Ye Fan and traced a line in his palm.

With Ye Fan's current arrangement, having Yamada Keiko impersonate Murano Ichiro to stay by his side, Akita Yui no longer has any lingering resentment.

"Okay! Okay! I'll do as you say..."

In a Hummer that was taking the Akita family to the Imperial City, Akita Hirokawa hung up the phone, his face full of relief, and he let out a long sigh of relief!

"Finally... has this girl finally figured it out?"

With the misunderstanding between father and daughter resolved, Akita Hirokawa was in high spirits. "Everyone, accelerate the deployment!"

Today we might do something big!
On one hand, a major upheaval is likely to occur within the royal family, while on the other hand, Ye Fan has arrived in Japan... Who knows what other moves he might make?
These three thousand soldiers served two purposes: firstly, to provide support for the eldest prince, and secondly, to guard against Ye Fan.

What Akita Hirokawa didn't know was that Ye Fan not only killed the eldest prince, but also stole his daughter's heart, and it was estimated that... it would be very soon for him to possess her...

The entire Japanese capital is currently in complete chaos!

Because the Black Cloaked Society's leader, Taro Asada, and many of its high-ranking members were wiped out in Otsuka, the Black Cloaked Society was severely weakened and its control over Japan was very weak!

The surveillance, intelligence gathering, and deterrence of officials are all very weak.

The collapse of the General's Mansion threw the entire Japanese military system into chaos! Yamamoto's loyal followers were either killed by Ye Fan or openly betrayed the Yamamoto family, such as the general who demolished the Yamamoto ancestral home... These traitors were immediately hunted down and retaliated against by the remaining supporters of the Yamamoto family.

Everyone is caught in infighting!
As a result, the Akita family has become the strongest branch in the military system.

Although Akita Hirokawa felt pretty good right now, he still vaguely felt that something was wrong!
But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong!
……

The closer Ye Fan, Yamada Keiko, Akita Yui, and the others got to the palace, the more Ye Fan felt something was wrong!

"Something's wrong! Did you notice? The air feels really off... There's a smell of blood, and a sinister aura!"

Ye Fan frowned and released his senses to perceive the surrounding situation.

Ye Fan had sensed the eerie atmosphere of the night ever since he left the First Prince's residence.

And the closer they got to the palace, the stronger the aura became!

Could it be that the King-level evil spirit has broken through the seal and started causing trouble?

Demon Eyes Activated!
Ye Fan glanced around carefully, and his expression immediately turned serious.

Through his Demon Eye, Ye Fan saw countless black threads spreading out from the palace and extending outwards... The other end of the black threads connected to the humans walking on the streets outside.

Following the black threads, Ye Fan could sense that the life force and mental energy fluctuations of those martial arts experts and ordinary people were being transported inward along the black threads.

The black threads are tubes that transport these things!

Ye Fan was already very familiar with those black threads, especially since they were unique to the evil spirits!
The situation is not good!
The king-level evil spirit beneath the Japanese imperial family's territory appears to have indeed awakened and may have broken through the seal.

“Master, I can already sense the presence of someone of my kind… but it seems his presence is even stronger than mine…”

While Ye Fan was still thinking, Li Mu, which was lurking in Ye Fan's wrist, suddenly spoke.

The perception of a King-level evil spirit is naturally not weak, especially its perception of its own kind, which is extremely sensitive.

kindness?
Have they all broken through to the Nascent Soul realm?

Ye Fan's heart tightened!
Those below the Golden Core realm are manageable, but dealing with experts above the Nascent Soul realm is still somewhat troublesome for Ye Fan, despite his many methods.

"Master, I feel he has broken free of his restraints... Should we make our move now?"

Ye Fan thought for two seconds, then shook his head. "Let's not act rashly for now. Let's go in and check the situation first!"

Although Ye Fan responded verbally, as the vehicle drove towards the inner city of the palace, he secretly released his mental energy fluctuations, creating a large number of evil-slaying formations and hiding them in various parts of the palace.

But Ye Fan did it very secretly, not letting these evil-slaying formations take effect right now, and they didn't touch the ground, but were hung on those buildings, tree trunks... Ye Fan even casually hung some of the evil-slaying formations on those guards and people, so that as those people left, the formations could be transferred to other places in the imperial city!
If this King-level evil spirit becomes desperate and resorts to desperate measures, then Ye Fan will have no choice but to use these evil-slaying formations... (End of Chapter)
