A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 40: Starting Today, I'll Be a Bishop
At the entrance of the Nightclub, several members of the Executive Bureau looked at each other, and finally reached a tacit understanding. They walked up to Yuan Zhisheng and bowed their heads: "Young Master, we have not found anyone."

"We also didn't find any equipment suspected of sealing the power of words. As for medicine, we do have a lot of alcohol stored here, which we can hand over to the testing department for testing."

Yuan Zhisheng didn't look at anyone, as if he hadn't heard their report.

The young master stood at the club entrance, looking up at the bright moon, hoping to calm his anger with its light.

But every now and then, the bright moon in front of him would inexplicably reflect Longma Jian's eerie smiling face, which became more and more irritating the more one looked at it.

Who is the mole?
The Nightclub was deserted, and he happened to catch Ryoma Ken, but where were the other members of the Fierce Ghost Clan?
This mole must have contacted the higher-ups of the Ghost Clan, who then notified members at various outposts, thus escaping the Executive Bureau's raid.

In that case, the remaining five strongholds...

Murphy's Law can be quite effective sometimes. At this moment, Yabuki Sakura moved closer to Genjiro with light, graceful steps, bringing bad news: "Young Master."

"The other five strongholds also failed to capture any members of the Ghost Gang, and the spies placed around them, just like at the Nightclub, found nothing."

"The Ghost Clan must have someone who knows the location of our informants."

It wasn't that Tachibana Masamune gave a last-minute order for the members of the Oni Clan to obediently go out to investigate and avoid the Enforcement Bureau.

Instead, it was similar to the Nightclub, where Xu Lie randomly selected a lucky degenerate hybrid to sell tranquilizers and trick the remaining members of the Fierce Ghost Clan who still held onto their principles into running away.

"I understand." Yuan Zhisheng's voice was even colder than when the Word of Power had disappeared. There was no point in throwing a tantrum now.

He is the emperor of the Snake Clan; he should not lose his composure!

"Sakura, let's go to the port area first and report to Father." Genjiro wanted to get advice from Tachibana Masamune on how to find the mole.

Now that things have come to this, the strongholds of the Oni Clan, which are under the control of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, have yielded nothing, making it quite difficult to capture people and obtain intelligence.

Why not just catch the mole!

Even if the mole doesn't know the truth about the technique of sealing the power of words, he can at least implicate a superior of the Fierce Ghost Clan. If we capture that superior, we can restore everyone's power of words sooner or later!
Under normal circumstances, Sakura Yabuki would absolutely carry out Genjiro's orders, but the current situation is slightly different.

The female secretary, who usually put the young master first, unusually did not respond to the call to drive, but instead asked a question: "Wouldn't it be too dangerous to go now?"

"What if the Ghost Clan finds out we've lost our Word of Power and tries to ambush us on the way? Young Master, will you be able to protect us all by yourself?"

Sakura Yabuki had no idea that even Genjiro's Word of Power had been stolen.

"..." Genji was silent for a few seconds before replying, "It's okay, go get the car, Sakura."

“I texted my dad beforehand, and he will arrange for someone to meet me on the way, so there won’t be any problems.”

Looking at her young master's serious yet effeminate face, Yabuki Sakura nodded calmly and went to drive, while thinking to herself that her young master looked better when he smiled.

When Xu Lie's parasitic clone, who was infiltrating the Execution Bureau, heard that Genji was going to find Tachibana Masamune to discuss how to catch the mole, he almost burst out laughing at this hellish joke.

Fortunately, I managed to hold back in the end; otherwise, it would have been truly shameful to be exposed like this.

……

The next day, Makoto Aso decisively asked for leave from school. When the pharmacy opened in the morning, he immediately took out the money he had saved for his part-time job at university and bought a lot of medicinal herbs.

As he carried his bags home, he received a text message from Xu Lie: 'I've invited over ten people who are planning to join the church for you. From today onwards, you are the bishop of the Tokyo Diocese of our former church.'

"You can ask them to help with many things, and you can also instruct them to receive a bottle of calming medicine for each new believer they bring to the old church." "Remember, give them the first bottle of calming medicine for free; consider it my advance payment. If they don't bring in new members and still want the medicine, you can charge them normally."

"Huh?" Aso Makoto, who had deliberately changed his posture, carrying a large bag of herbs in one hand and a small bag of herbs in his arms, while using the other hand to look at his phone, had many small question marks floating above his head.

What is a diocesan bishop?
She clearly joined the Old Days Church last night—no, to be precise, early this morning!
In less than 24 hours, he went from being an ordinary church member to a bishop?

'What's going on? Why did I become a bishop?' After thinking for a moment, Aso Shin replied with a text message, hoping Xu Lie would explain things more clearly.

Looking at the text message he had sent and seeing no reply yet, Asou pouted and considered whether he should make a phone call.

"Excuse me, is this Bishop Aso?" Just as Aso was hesitating whether to dial, a slightly respectful greeting came from in front of him.

Taro Inuyama and his three companions emerged from a side path ahead, looking like four thugs bullying a young girl.

However, in reality, the four of them were very polite and took the initiative to bow their heads to Aso Makoto.

Starting last night, the group of four deliberately chose back paths without cameras to escape.

Thanks to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the public's mindset is heavily Westernized, and they believe that surveillance cameras infringe on privacy, so most of them disagree with the installation of surveillance cameras.

If the surveillance were even slightly more intense, they probably wouldn't be able to escape Kaguya-hime of the Snake Clan.

No one chased after them, so they should be considered to have escaped successfully. But what should they do now?

The Nightclub is definitely not going back. Anyone with half a brain could guess that the main family will definitely send in spies to monitor whether any members of the Demon Clan will return.

Then go to the other strongholds of the Fierce Ghosts?
Sorry, but the Demon Clan is fighting against the Snake Clan, and the location of each of their strongholds is kept secret. It's not something that lowly people like them could know.

In other words, they can't find their organization now.

Taro Inuyama realized that they couldn't continue aimlessly, so he suggested that they go to Omaeen to find the Bishop Aso that Ken Ryoma had mentioned.

The other three also agreed to join the old church, since at least the calming medicine was really effective.

During their previous escape, Feng Mosong and his two companions, who had no calming potions, would occasionally turn ferocious, their dragon blood surging within them, tempting them to turn back and fight their own clan to the death.

Instead of slinking away like a rat.

Only Inuyama Taro, who had drunk the potion, remained rational and kept persuading and trying to keep the three of them from going overboard.

Because of this incident, the four of them unanimously recognized the old church and their action-oriented spirit exploded. Just before dawn, they walked all the way to Daizenen School on their own two legs.

They sneaked in and searched through almost half of the archives before finally finding Aso Makoto's file.

As a result, after waiting and waiting at school, Aso finally received a leave request.

Left with no other choice, the four of them could only wait near the Aso family home based on the address in the file. And sure enough, they finally caught up with Aso Makoto: "Bishop Aso."

“We were introduced by that guy Ryoma Ken. We are willing to join the Old Days Church.”

"???" Her? The bishop?
Are you serious?

Aso is so numb!
