The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 831 The Beginning of the War (10)

The lights in the bar dimmed, and a projection screen slowly descended from the wall. This was a device that existed in the Blues Bar itself, and it could usually replace the TV to broadcast movies, football games and other programs.

Yoshisuke Ashiya used the remote control to turn on the projector, and a photo of a man appeared on the screen.

Ashiya Kichisuke began to introduce this person: "Amahara Mari, everyone must be familiar with his name, the founder and patriarch of the Church of Hope, and one of our enemies."

Everyone looked at the projection screen quietly, waiting for Ashiya Yoshisuke's next explanation.

Inuyama Heita looked at the man carefully, wanting to engrave him deeply in his mind.

In this photo, Mari Amahara looks energetic, wearing a white robe and a kind smile on his face, but Inuyama Heita feels that if this guy changes into a suit, he will look more like a middle-aged salesman running around the streets, nodding and bowing, rather than a "saint".

"Is this the enemy leader?" King Kong clenched his fists and made a loud noise. "He looks weak and can't take a beating at all."

Terao Yu whispered, "Everyone looks weak in your eyes, right?"

Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "But it was this man who founded the cult of Hope, which claims to have nearly 100,000 members. Regardless of whether he exaggerated the number of members, we have all experienced the methods of the cult of Hope. Those Aquarians and Saints can indeed cause us a certain degree of trouble, not to mention the assassins they trained."

Everyone was silent. The suicide attack a few days ago dealt a big blow to the morale of the alliance. Even though the culprit, Qian Xiaoyi, was not seriously injured, everyone was still a little scared. After all, no one wanted this kind of thing to happen to them suddenly.

"I know everyone has doubts about what happened a few days ago," Ashiya Yoshisuke encouraged, "but the more intense their actions are and the more irrational they are, it means that what we are doing is right. We are on the right path. We hurt them, so they would react this way."

Gui Teng Long Guang said at this time: "That's right, trapped beasts will still fight. The more we cannot give up at this time, we must give them a final blow. Otherwise, if we stop here, then when the enemy recovers, we will be waiting for a more fierce revenge!"

Gui Teng Longguang's words were like enlightenment, waking up some exorcists who had appeasement ideas.

"Master Gui Teng is right! The contradiction can no longer be eliminated, so we must completely eliminate the enemy to ensure our own safety!"

"Both Lord Ashiya and Master Kidou are right. We must fight, and we must fight fiercely! I will be the first to disagree with anyone who wants to surrender!"

"I am willing to follow Master Gui Teng into battle! Destroy the Hope Cult and defeat the Hundred Demons! With Master Gui Teng leading us, we will be invincible!"

Gui Teng Longguang had no expression on his face, but he was roaring in his heart: [If you want to charge into battle, go ahead by yourself! Don’t involve me! What do you mean by under my leadership! I will be killed! ]

Ashiya Yoshisuke was very relieved: "It seems that everyone is not frightened by the enemy's dirty tricks. This makes me feel relieved. As expected, I made the right choice to hand over the position of leader to Kitando-kun. Well, without further ado, let's take a look at the true face of this patriarch. It is not easy to find such information that the enemy is trying hard to hide."

Qian Xiaoyi looked at the phone, making malicious guesses in his heart: "I'm afraid you have found out this information a long time ago, but you only brought it out now, old man?" The slide on the projection screen changed, and another photo of Amahara Mari appeared, but this photo looked younger. He looked very happy in this photo, holding something like a pot cover in his hand, and next to him stood a little girl of a few years old.

"This is a photo of Mari Amahara taken at the beginning of the millennium," Ashiya Kichisuke said. "At that time, he had not yet founded the Church of Hope, and his name was not Mari Amahara, but Hayafune Katsuhiko."

Inuyama Heita was stunned: "Hayafune... Could it be..."

Ashiya Kisuke revealed a surprising news: "Just as everyone thought, yes, Amahara Mari is actually the biological father of that [Monster] Miss Hayafune Chizuru."

"Even my own daughter..." Inuyama Heita clenched his fists. It was because he had experienced that kind of pain personally that Inuyama Heita was so angry.

However, this news did not surprise everyone for too long. After all, she was the Saint of Hope Church, so it made more sense.

"Next, it's the highlight." Ashiya Kichisuke smiled, revealing a playful look. "Unlike Amahara Mari's claim that he has studied human classics for decades and is a university doctor, according to the information I found, when Amahara Mari was still called Hayafune Katsuhiko, he was not a university professor, but just a high school dropout and a liar. He has done many frauds, from telephone fraud to credit card fraud, to street pyramid selling, and he even has a criminal record for this."

Everyone began to look down on this guy. It didn't sound like anything.

"Of course, these are just his dark history. He himself would never admit it, and these are not the main point." Ashiya Yoshisuke said: "After several years in prison, Hayafune Katsuhiko learned from his mistakes and felt that he could not continue to cheat people like a rootless duckweed. He would not make any money that way, and there would be various risks. So he decided to set up his own organization, which is the predecessor of the current Hope Church."

Yoshisuke Ashiya pressed the remote control, and another photo appeared in front of everyone. In this photo, Mari Amahara looked younger. He was standing behind several children. The children were holding a bent spoon in their hands and smiling.

"Everyone should be familiar with this trick, right?" asked Ashiya Yoshisuke.

"Is it a superpower?"

“A classic scam.”

"Hey, super powers aren't a hoax, right? Ghosts already exist, so what's wrong with having super powers?"

"You... actually believe this?"

Ashiya Yoshisuke asked everyone to be quiet, and then said, "In the mid-1990s, after being released from prison, Hayafune Katsuhiko saw new opportunities on TV. The craze for superpower research started in the 1980s and there are still people who believe in it. So after some thought, Hayafune Katsuhiko decided to establish his own superpower research and development organization, named..."
