A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 35: Order for 100 Bottles, Genji is in a Hurry
At three in the morning, Makoto Aso finally returned home. When he tiptoed to open the door with his key, he made a point of keeping one hand free to lift the door and avoid making too much noise.

This was a truly novel experience for Makoto Aso; she had never sneaked out of the house so late and returned before.

I always feel like I'm doing something wrong.

He went to his grandmother's room first and confirmed that she was still asleep and had not gone out. Aso was truly relieved.

Just two hours earlier, she had drunk the Sequence 9 Pharmacist's Potion prepared by Xu Lie, and then hurriedly used the medicinal herbs that Xu Lie provided to help make several bottles of calming potions.

Makoto Aso, lacking training, is temporarily unable to control his spiritual vision.

As soon as she relaxed, her spiritual vision subconsciously activated, allowing her to discover the lesions on her grandmother's body.

What's going on? When did Grandma get sick? They didn't even tell her!
At this moment, Asou was incredibly grateful that she had chosen the path of a vampire pharmacist; otherwise, her grandmother might have kept it from her for who knows how long.

After taking the Apothecary's Magic Potion, Asou Makoto gained the extraordinary ability to concoct medicines and heal people.

Suddenly, many prescriptions appeared in my mind, and I inexplicably mastered knowledge of various herbs and the medicinal properties of certain animal parts.

After carefully observing Grandma's body and comparing it with the prescription in his mind, he quickly found the cure.

Makoto Aso silently closed the door, planning to take a day off tomorrow. She wanted to see her grandmother drink the medicine and get better before she could feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Makoto Aso subconsciously took out his phone and looked at Xu Lie's newly saved contact information.

I opened the text message interface next to the phone number, then closed it again. No, no, it's too late now. Xu Jun should already be resting.

It would be more appropriate to formally express my gratitude tomorrow.

"Buzz!"

The sudden vibration of his phone startled Makoto Aso, nearly causing him to drop it. He scrambled to grab it before regaining his footing.

Asou Makoto looked closely and saw it was a text message from Xu Lie: 'The medicine is quite effective. Could you please make 100 bottles of the tranquilizer? 30,000 yen per bottle, is that alright? The ingredients are available at the pharmacy; you can earn at least 10,000 yen per bottle.'

For Xu Lie, who takes the path of thieves, there is no shortage of worldly money. Whether it is stealing gold or parasitizing the so-called high-ranking members of tycoons, making money is too easy for him.

But when this reward was placed in front of Makoto Aso, the young girl who had just become a pharmacist was so moved that she burst into tears!

Round tears slid down his cheeks as Asou stared blankly at the text message, completely forgetting to reply.

It was only then that Makoto Aso recalled that the reason she had initially agreed to stop and listen to Xu Lie was because Xu Lie said that the reward for joining the association would be enough for her to go to university.

Now, the dream I've been waiting for for so many years has actually come true? All I need to do is work hard to make potions, and it's within my reach.

This kind of emotion might be hard for others to understand, but Masato Aso had thanked Xu Lie countless times in his heart.

……

Let's go back in time a little.

At the Genji Heavy Industries Building, Genji Chisei, the young master of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, walked out of his room in his pajamas with a cool expression.

Under the living room lights, the young master, with his delicate features, exuded a vibrant masculine energy, which was quite contradictory.

A pair of dignified eyes gazed upon his three trusted subordinates: Sakura Yabuki, Crow, and Yasha, who were already waiting in the hall.

Seeing that Genjiro's expression was not good, the two burly men, Crow and Yaksha, looked at each other and exchanged knowing glances.

It was as if she were saying, "It's all your fault for knocking so loudly, making the young master grumpy in the morning." Yabuki Sakura, not bothering to discipline her two colleagues, immediately took out her documents and began reporting to Genjiro upon seeing him: "Young Master."

"At 11:09 PM tonight, when the three members of the Execution Bureau, Ryoya Sawada, Koji Uchimura, and Yuichi Otsuka, caught up with the members of the Demon Gang, the members of the Demon Gang lost control on the spot and fell into demon form, turning into Death Servants."

"When the three chased the attacker to the riverside park, the Word Spirit was unable to be used due to some unknown influence. After a fierce battle, they killed the Dead Servant."

"After the war, Ryoya Sawada and Koji Uchimura were seriously injured and fell into a coma. They have been sent to the family hospital for emergency treatment."

"Yuichi Otsuka was slightly injured. He initially thought it was because the Deadpool was lucky and awakened the Word of Power: Commandment, which prevented him from using the Word of Power. However, after the battle, he found that he still could not use the Word of Power, so he urgently reported to his superiors."

"After multiple examinations at the family hospital, they were unable to find the problem and reported it to the authorities as well."

"After being reported through multiple levels, the artificial intelligence Kaguya-hime determined that this may be the latest research result of the Oni Clan, which will have a huge impact and cause casualties to the clan."

"That's why we urgently notified the young master and the head of the family."

Sakura Yabuki's detailed and concise report allowed Genjiro, who had been woken up in the middle of the night, to quickly understand the whole story.

But once he realized the seriousness of the matter, Genji's eyebrows furrowed together and wouldn't relax.

Banning the power of words?! When did the Demon Clan acquire such outrageous technology?!
The importance of Words of Power to hybrids is self-evident; without Words of Power, hybrids would be nothing more than super soldiers.

As for the ability to seal away incantations, which is a bug-level ability, Genji has only experienced it once in the entire world, when he was studying at the Kassel Advanced Studies Class and under the strict discipline of Vice Principal Nicholas.

No one else possesses this ability or technology.

The fatal flaw is that within the range of the Word of Power: Discipline, neither enemy nor friendly forces can use Word of Power.

What if the Demon Clan's technology advances further? What if they simply seal the Words of Power of the Snake-Headed Eight Families?

After that, when they faced the Demon Clan again, the Snake-Headed Eight Family members couldn't use their Word of Power, while the Demon Clan used it without restraint. The difference in strength was obvious, and the Demon Clan would have to kick the Snake-Headed Eight Family members around like a football.

How could the Ghost Clan possibly have obtained such technology?
The Snake Clan clearly has the most scientific research talent, the most hybrid research scholars, and the most advanced artificial intelligence in Japan. If they can't even do it, what makes those wandering people from the Demon Clan so special?
It's as absurd as a major country spending years researching without any results, while a few hundred homeless people can easily develop something by pooling their resources together.

That doesn't make any sense at all.

"Huff..." Genji tried to control his emotions by taking deep breaths: "Has the family alchemist been asked to examine this Otsuka Yuichi?"

Sakura Yabuki flipped through two more pages of documents and quickly reported, "We've already tried. Two alchemy masters from our family personally went to the hospital to examine her, but they couldn't find the problem."

"Whether it's the hospital's equipment or the alchemists' methods, all of this indicates that Mr. Otsuka Yuichi only suffered minor injuries and is otherwise perfectly normal."

Crow and Yaksha met each other's eyes again, and both slowly lowered their heads. They could already feel their young master's anger.

If you try anything funny now, the young master will definitely hang you up and whip you.

Genjiro forcibly suppressed his worries about the future: "Does the head of the family have any good ideas?"

"We haven't received any relevant information yet." To be on the safe side, Sakura Yabuki even took out her phone to check, and it turned out that Tachibana Masamune, the head of the Yake family, had not issued any instructions.

Yuan Zhisheng had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting for his death. He got up and went back to his room. Within minutes, he had changed into a black trench coat, with a sword at his waist, and his face was icy: "Notify the entire Execution Bureau."

"Get up and work overtime to wipe out all the strongholds of the Fierce Demons."

"Capture as many prisoners as possible and interrogate them to extract relevant information overnight!"
