Shirou's clones number 30 million

Although the goddess ordered Luco to assassinate the hero, the condition was that the demon king be defeated first.

In other words, only the hero can defeat the Demon King and prevent the world from being destroyed.

However, after defeating the Demon King, the hero will lose control and destroy the world with his own hands.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the donkey will be discarded after it has served its purpose.

Currently, Lugo, under his father's orders, disguises himself as a dark-haired boy named Ilgh Baloru and comes to Murdoch to start a business, as well as prepare for the start of his assassination career.

However, the product has not yet been selected; it is still in the planning stage.

Whether to follow the original plot and use women's cosmetics as the starting point, or to introduce otherworldly products to make a big splash, Lugo prefers the latter.

The former can reduce some covetousness and unnecessary trouble, while the latter is to rise to the challenge. Why should an elephant fear an ant?

"Lord Ilger, someone has come to visit."

"Who is it?"

Upon entering the reception room, Lu Ge was momentarily stunned, but quickly relaxed.

"What, it's you? Came here to have some fun?"

"No, I'm here to talk business. Isn't the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) project in Hashiba going very well?"

Shirou Yasaka paused, then continued:

"If even a difficult business model can be developed in a super niche industry, then our business should be even simpler."

"What do you want to do?"

"Hold on."

Shirou Yasaka extended his right hand and lightly shook hands with Lu Ge, their memories instantly sharing.

At the same time, the results of Yasaka Shirou's training last night were instantly copied over.

"I see... It's not entirely impossible."

Lu Ge waved his hand and set up a barrier to drive people away. The maids who were in charge of entertaining people immediately retreated one after another, and in the blink of an eye, only four people remained in the reception room.

"Assassins and intelligence organizations?"

"Yes."

Yasaka Shirou nodded slightly and said seriously:

"On the surface, they run businesses such as taverns and theaters, but in secret, they are responsible for selling intelligence and taking on assassination missions."

"You shouldn't be in such a hurry, right?" Luke frowned slightly and glanced at Nyaruko unconsciously.

"We must always plan ahead. It will be too late to make efforts once danger strikes."

"Are you the kind of person who would pack two umbrellas in your backpack even when it's not raining?"

"Is there a problem? One is for my own use, and the other is ready to be lent to someone or kept as a backup."

“Then there’s no problem.” Lu Ge chuckled, then asked again, “How do you plan to cooperate with me?”

"Let's split it 50/50."

"I'm not talking about money. I mean, what's your plan?"

"Let's borrow the Yorozuya's expansion strategy. In the early stages, use clones to hold the line, and then slowly recruit new people later. Your Tuhad family is an assassination family, and you have quite a few talented people inside. We can borrow some of them too."

Lu Ge nodded slightly. Indeed, as long as he didn't recall all the shadow clones at once, creating more wouldn't have much of an impact.

Furthermore, if Yasaka Shirou were to fight Adris to the very end every night until dawn, his strength would increase rapidly.

At that time, it won't be long before hundreds of thousands of shadow clones will no longer be a burden, and dismantling them will have no impact.

“Okay. Let’s start with this city. With sufficient funds, expansion will be rapid.”

Luke paused, then asked curiously again:

"But why an assassin organization? Wouldn't the Adventurers' Guild model be better?"

"Well... it's just a personal preference," Yasaka Shirou said casually. "I prefer assassin organizations to the adventurers' guild model. Besides, it would also be a good addition to Hashiba's Yorozuya."

"That's true."

Luke seemed to be deep in thought. If the Yorozuya was the light, then the assassin organization was the darkness.

Light and darkness are often indispensable.

The Yorozuya will not accept murder requests, nor will it commit murder for money in any form.

Even in modern society, there are still people who hate someone to the core and wish that person would go to hell immediately.

In this alternate world, which is similar to the Middle Ages, there are countless sordid things.

Assassin organizations naturally emerged as a result.

However, these are mostly small-scale operations; large-scale assassin organizations basically only exist in novels.

After all, the very structure of an assassin organization makes it inherently difficult for it to expand.

"Let's begin immediately."

“Okay. But there’s no need for the two of us to stay in the same city; it’s a waste of talent. I’ll go a thousand miles away to start.”

"Ah."

Luke nodded slightly, then shifted his gaze to Taldo, who was serving Nyarlathotep to the side.

"Let's go, Tardor."

"Huh...? Um, Lord Ilger, the guests haven't left yet."

"Don't worry about what these two say. They'll leave together soon."

……

In the afternoon, at the Baloru family's house.

"Ilge, I managed to snag two theater tickets. Let's go see them together tonight."

As Luke was calculating the theater's operating costs in his room, a thin, bespectacled young man burst in excitedly.

His name is Beluid Baloru, the eldest son of the Baloru family, and Lugo's current "elder brother".

He was unaware that Lugo's identity was a facade and genuinely believed that Lugo, disguised as Ilge, was the illegitimate son of the Baloru family.

According to Luca, he was not a bad person and had no ill intentions towards his suddenly appearing "brother." On the contrary, he was eager to improve their brotherly relationship.

Of course, such people are rare in this strange world; they are usually either scheming or naive.

In Luke's view, he was indeed a little dim-witted.

"Brother, didn't you know that this theater is newly opened by me?"

"Huh...? That's a super-large chain theater with many branches in other cities. Even if our family sold everything we owned, we still couldn't come up with that much money, could we?"

“Sometimes opening a shop doesn’t require money, just some knowledge. I used new marketing methods and a large number of new scripts to sign contracts with many small businesses, thereby acquiring ownership of the theater.”

Of course, that was just something he said to fool him.

In reality, it was bought with real money.

Within the white mist space, there is a large amount of treasure and money accumulated by Shirou. Although paper money is not accepted, gold and jewelry are not a problem.

Therefore, Lugo is not short of money.

From accepting Shiro Yasaka's proposal to opening theaters and taverns in all the surrounding cities and expanding rapidly, it only took a few days.

Of course, this is also thanks to the activity of numerous shadow clones.

One shadow clone is in charge of one store, and with hundreds of thousands of shadow clones working together, the expansion speed is incredibly fast.

"Ilge is amazing, you're so much better than me..."

Luke did not respond, his gaze shifting back to the paper lying face down on the table.

The theaters on the surface are not the main problem; the real issue is that the assassin business and intelligence trading on the ground are in trouble and making little progress.

That makes sense, as both of these are difficult to promote on a large scale, and it's impossible to distribute flyers and put up posters like a theater opening.

I wonder how Shirou Yasaka is doing? During the gathering last night, he seemed to be facing the same predicament as me.

Chapter 605 You went to all this trouble just to stir up trouble?

Chapter 605, Section 606: You went to all this trouble just to stir up trouble?

Unlike Luke, Yasaka Shirou's progress is much faster; he has even opened an assassination shop in another world.

Or rather, precisely because they were not in their own world and had no acquaintances, they naturally acted much more recklessly.

On the surface, they operate hotels and inns normally, but in secret, they are engaged in assassination and intelligence business.

In just a few days, the Assassination House, following the Yorozuya's lead, expanded into many worlds.

To attract business, they relied on large-scale dream-entry techniques.

A large-scale formation is set up around each city, and all those who are depressed to a certain degree will dream of the assassination house's address at night.

However, because there are various cumbersome review procedures before officially accepting orders, although the store has been open for several days, it has received very few orders, especially the branch located in the modern world.

Of course, for Shirou Yasaka, assassination was just a side effect; intelligence gathering was the key.

The shadow clones located in each branch store began their intelligence gathering the moment the store opened.

All intelligence, big and small, throughout the city was gathered into the Assassination House and compiled into a book.

The world of Bleach, in the present world.

Aizen slowly stepped through the shop door and into the place that was called an inn but was actually an assassination shop. He watched with interest as Yasaka Shirou was typing on his laptop.

On the computer screen was a document titled "Death God Power Ranking".

"You went to all that trouble to set up the assassination agency and gather intelligence everywhere, just to stir up trouble here?"

"Isn't this to verify the accuracy of the information?" Yasaka Shirou said without turning his head.

"Just some written explanations are not enough to convince people."

"Well... I've already thought of that. I'll attach past and future battle scenes to the rankings as illusions. That will make it more believable."
