In Tokyo, the dungeon master

YouTuber Zhenji is currently in the midst of a controversy.

Although the number of viewers in her live stream was significantly lower, many online media outlets and gossip bloggers are still paying attention and waiting for further negative information about her.

Therefore, her livestreaming mishap did indeed spark a lot of discussion, with many saying that Makichi was just doing it for the sake of the show.

However, the police subsequently cordoned off the area, and faint explosions could be heard from the abandoned hospital, which naturally sparked more discussion.

If this was all Makichi's doing, did she use explosives? That's incredibly audacious. It's not like Makichi at all. Only someone of Mr. Beast's size could do something like that, and it's impossible for her to do it in a city like Tokyo.

So naturally, more people took this as a possible supernatural event.

In an effort to quell the controversy, the police quickly issued a statement claiming that a gas explosion had occurred due to aging pipes at the abandoned hospital, thus putting an end to the dispute as soon as possible.

Of course, behind the scenes, the interrogation of Makichi continued. A large number of criminal investigation experts formed an expert group to investigate this unusual explosion. If this kind of thing hadn't sounded so unreliable, and if the police hadn't been so good at suppressing information, the FBI might have gotten involved much sooner.

……

……

At the Toyokawa family's mansion in Tokyo, Gu Meng, the Shirakawa mother and daughter, the Shihōin sisters, and old Deng, who was just there to make up the numbers, all gathered together.

The younger sister among the Shihōin sisters also has a rare and special constitution, but she has not yet been seeded by Gu Meng.

Because the Shihōin family is not the Shirakawa family, and therefore not a particularly outstanding bloodline carrier, Kyoka was chosen by Gu Meng because he noticed her exceptional talent.

Moreover, with only four True Seeds at present, Gu Meng naturally wants to keep one as a backup plan in case of an accident, so he can make a comeback. Even if he has eight True Seeds in the next advancement, Gu Meng will only launch a maximum of seven, and he will definitely not launch them all.

Old Deng was just there to make up the numbers. We hadn't even thought of him for this dungeon, but when he heard that Shirakawa Chiyana had been kidnapped, he came along. Since he was already here, we might as well bring him along.

As for the bodyguards, Gu Meng had already used an amnesia spell to deal with them. Shirakawa Keiji's original plan was to give the bodyguards a hush money payment to keep the secret, but after Gu Meng confirmed that the man didn't intend to kill the bodyguards, he took matters into his own hands.

This old man is probably too old and not ruthless enough, unlike what Gu Meng originally thought.

Shirakawa Manka hadn't been home for a long time, but having lived in this mansion for a long time, she naturally found a place to sit down.

Actually, the falling out and cold war between her and her father was a bit of a joke.

On the surface, it appears that the mother and daughter were kicked out of their home, the daughter transferred to a regular high school, and the mother became a low-level employee, but in reality, it was just a game of make-believe.

During his time-traveling journey, Gu Meng accompanied his wife to the Baichuan Group and gathered a lot of intelligence. After contacting Jinghua, he naturally learned about the inner workings of the Baichuan family.

Although the Shirakawa family is a single-lineage family, currently only the Shirakawa mother and daughter are the true Shirakawa. They may seem weak and isolated, but they still have various complex relationships with collateral branches and allies.

This kind of group relationship is very feudal but also useful. This may be the reason why aristocratic families under the feudal system have a chance to last for thousands of years. For example, if the Tokai family holds a clan meeting, they will give priority to inviting Shirakawa Manka. If the Hua clan holds a general meeting, they will also give priority to inviting Shirakawa Manka.

Many of the older men or business partners within the Baichuan Group with resources are die-hard fans of Baichuan Wanhua's mother. Some of them, although not closely related by blood, also share the surname Baichuan. If Baichuan Wanhua and her father were to really go to war, at least half of them would side with Wanhua, while the rest would just stand by and watch. Their situation is comparable to that of Fan Xian in "Joy of Life".

Moreover, most of the shares held by the Shirakawa family were merely held on behalf of the old man. The Manka family was the true emperor, and rightfully so. The high-ranking officials like the Shihōin family were all the dogs of the Manka family.

Gu Mengdu felt that Kyoka Kagamine and Manka were an unbreakable alliance. If Shirakawa Laoden had any ill intentions, he would find that everyone would become his enemy.

If they really fall out, Shirakawa Noboru will most likely be able to retire and go home to fish.

Of course, it's also possible that Shirakawa Manka never thought about these things at all; she might genuinely believe that falling out with her father would mean a life of poverty.

After all, Gu Meng had already figured it out: the mother and daughter were really stupid, and the stubborn kind of stupid at that.

The fact that Old Deng was able to take over the company smoothly was probably because Shirakawa Manka's mother felt that this was the most suitable way. At least it would prevent the company from being quickly ruined by Manka. Manka was definitely capable of being easily swindled out of 168 billion yen.

Wan Hua was unaware of Gu Meng's thoughts. She had finally returned to her hometown, and now with her ancestor backing her up, she knew she would no longer be forced to go on blind dates with those middle-aged "high-quality men."

Looking around, I felt that it would be great to take this opportunity to officially go home, so I wouldn't have to work anymore.

She would occasionally glance in her daughter's direction. Now that both girls' transformations were over, Wan Hua still remembered what her daughter looked like in her black dress. She thought it looked so cool, even though it wasn't as pretty as the pink one.

Meanwhile, Chiyana remained silent with a low mood. The dark god Guna had sent her another image, showing that Suzumiya Ami had been resurrected by Him.

In other words, it is necessary to complete the original transaction and find a way to obtain more Shikon Jewel fragments.

Otherwise, I'm afraid...

Since that evil god can be resurrected, he can also take back the life he gave.

Kagamine kept chatting with Kyoka in private, and Kagamine kept criticizing Kyoka for keeping such a big thing from her, asking if they were still sisters.

Kyoka could only offer a forced explanation, because when she thought back, she realized that she hadn't even asked her mentor if she could tell Kagamine, and had simply assumed that such confidential information couldn't be leaked.

As a result, Gu Meng told everything to Jingyin and Lao Deng after meeting them today, obviously not intending to keep it completely a secret from them. This makes it seem like Jinghua was overthinking things, which doesn't make sense.

Old Deng personally brewed tea for Gu Meng, bowing and scraping. At that moment, he seemed to have returned to many years ago, to the days when he had not yet married into the family and had just started working for the Baichuan Group.

Gu Meng sat in the main seat, giving the impression that he was the true head of the Shirakawa family.

However, considering the inhuman domineering aura and unique combat charm and leadership qualities that the Ancestor displayed in the Demon Nest, it seems that no matter where he sits, it will be his home turf.

The old ancestor's attitude was already good enough. Shirakawa Keiji was not deceived by Gu Meng's youthful appearance at all; he always remembered the other party's identity.

He took a deep breath: "Your Majesty—"

Gu Meng smiled and interrupted him: "There are no outsiders here. I don't think anyone can hide under my nose. You can just call me Ancestor."

His voice was elegant and refined, with a natural tone. He didn't have the domineering air of someone giving orders during battle. He was very approachable, yet there was a sense of distance befitting a superior. He truly deserved to be the founder of a sect and the ruler of a nation.

Although the accent is still a bit strange, that should just be due to the different intonation of Japanese spoken in the ancient Tokai region. It must be because of us descendants; our ancestors were not the problem.

Shirakawa Keiji felt he should also learn his ancestor's accent, as that was the proper way to speak in high society.

"Yes, Ancestor... uh, there's something I'm not sure if I should ask, Ancestor, what is it this time—"

"You want to ask me why I've been dead for so many years and have now been resurrected?"
