Knight: A Life of Collecting Attributes Starting as a Vampire

At that moment, all three of them understood that this guy had let go of the past, which was much easier than they had imagined.

……

the other side.

At this moment, Sonoda Mari and the others finally arrived at the headquarters of the Brain Group.

"What? Your company president isn't named Hanagata?"

After learning that the president of the Brainpower Group was not her father, Sonoda Mari was also confused.

She was certain that her adoptive father was indeed the president of the Brainpower Group, but now that he had disappeared and she couldn't contact him, she also couldn't prove her identity.

"This is a big problem."

Qian Qiao had a bad feeling.

He felt that he had inadvertently fallen into a conspiracy, and that he couldn't escape because of Sonoda Mari.

"Yes, our president is named Murakami Kyoji, not Hanagata."

The receptionist nodded and then gave the information about the village.

However, as she spoke, she sent a message to an unfamiliar number, indicating that she was not entirely unaware of the matter.

Not long after, the receptionist received a message on her phone, and a smile returned to her face.

"Gentlemen, our village head has heard about your situation and would like to invite you in for a chat."

“Great, we’re willing.”

Sonoda Mari immediately nodded in agreement.

Led by the receptionist, the two then entered the computer group's premises.

Soon the two took the elevator to a quiet floor. Unlike the work environment below, this place seemed to have only one office.

"Please come in."

Before I could even knock, I heard a sound coming from inside the office.

Sonoda Mari and Inui Takumi opened the door and went inside, where they saw a middle-aged man sitting there smiling at them.

It was Murakami.

Murakami first looked at the two men, then at the boxes in their hands, and his smile widened.

"Hello, I am Murakami Kyoji, the current president of the Brainpower Group."

Murakami was the first to speak, introducing himself.

"Hello, I'm Sonoda Mari."

Sonoda Mari nodded quickly in response.

Takumi Inui didn't speak, but simply stood quietly next to Mari Sonoda.

"I heard you're inquiring about the former president?"

Murakami didn't care about any of that and asked Sonoda Mari.

"Yes, I came here to check on my father because I lost contact with him."

Sonoda Mari nodded.

“That makes sense. The former president did lose contact, which is why I took over his position.”

Murakami nodded and did not hide the matter.

Even he didn't know where Hanagata had gone or why he had disappeared.

"Do you know where my father went?"

“I don’t know, but I do know that she took something very important to the Brain Group before she disappeared, and we have been trying to find it.”

Murakami shook his head, then looked at the box in Inui's hand.

At that moment, Sonoda Mari and Inui Takumi both understood what he meant.

They didn't doubt Murakami's words either, because the box containing the Faiz belt had a mark that was the logo of the Brain Corporation.

Chapter 89: The Protagonist Group Gets Tricked

"The Faiz belt is a valuable item that the Brain Group has been developing for many years. Unexpectedly, an accident occurred just after its successful development."

"The research institute was attacked that day, and the belt was lost in the attack. Former president Hanagata also went missing."

"I became the new president in order to stabilize the Brain Group. My responsibility is to stabilize the Brain Group and find the lost drivers."

Murakami watched as the two spoke earnestly about Hanagata and the Faiz belt, and he was drawn into the emotions of Sonoda Mari and Inui Takumi.

Looking at the two of them, Murakami couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, they were still too young.

"Therefore, I hope you two can return the belt to Smart Brain Company, as it is very important to us."

Murakami finally revealed his true purpose.

Sonoda Mari and Inui Takumi both fell silent upon hearing this, staring at the boxes on the table, unsure of what to do.

After all, it originally belonged to them, and it's perfectly reasonable for them to want it back now. It wouldn't be right for them to refuse to return it.

"Of course, I will also give you two some compensation."

Murakami noticed that the two men's expressions were gradually softening and added again.

"Let's forget about it. There's no need for compensation. I hope that if the village head can let me know if he has any news about my father."

In the end, Sonoda Mari decided to return the belt to Murakami without asking for compensation, only asking for a promise.

"No problem at all. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Murakami readily agreed, unable to suppress the smile on his face any longer.

It came without any effort.

Who would have thought that the belt, which so many Orphnochs died trying to retrieve, would be delivered to their doorstep so easily?

The conversation ended.

Sonoda Mari and Inui Takumi left the office and, led by the receptionist, went downstairs and out of the Brainpower Group.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the two gradually woke up. They looked at each other and showed helpless expressions.

Only then did they realize that they had been tricked. Not only had they come here today without getting anything out of them, but they had also gotten their faiz belts into the mess.

But then again, there doesn't seem to be a problem, since the Faiz belt is someone else's property.

Thinking of this, both of them showed frustrated expressions. How annoying!

A cold wind suddenly blew by.

Both of them shivered at the same time, and the frustration in their minds disappeared.

Without giving it any further thought, the two quickly left the Brainpower Group.

……

For the next period of time, Cangya and his group lived a relatively peaceful life, and nothing particularly unusual happened.

From that day on, Naoya Kaido moved into the villa, and perhaps because of Yuji Kiba, Murakami took special care of him.

Furthermore, Naoya Kaido's personality is also very suitable for being an Orphnoch.

Since that day, this guy has fully accepted his new identity, and he is indeed better than Kiba Yuji in this respect. Murakami also plans to focus on training him.

However, this outcome worried Kiba Yuji, who feared that Kaido Nao would also become the kind of Orphnoch who only knew how to kill.

But he couldn't stop it, because Kaido Naoya's personality meant he would never listen to him, so he could only leave it to fate.

Moreover, they also have their own lives to live, and Kaido Nao is just a part of their lives.

"Ah~"

"Monster! You're a monster!"

"Help! Don't kill me!"

……

Accompanied by screams, Yuji Kiba snapped out of his reverie.

His gaze turned toward the direction from which the screams came.

It was a group of humans being hunted down by a crane, the Orphnoch. With each arrow, the humans fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

Beside the Crane Fairy, a handsome young man watched the hunt with an relaxed expression, seemingly unaffected by the horrific scene.

“Mr. Cangya, they may have made mistakes, but there’s no need for this.”

Yuji Kiba watched the scene with a heavy heart.

"Since they made a mistake, shouldn't they be punished?"

Cangya asked in return, his words carrying a profound meaning.

"This……"
