Why is my anime art style so weird?

Taisho is clearly a hit.

"Well~ Taisho-san, don't be angry. These two young men are not wrong. We are all in the same industry, and we all have methods that we don't want others to see. If we rashly get together, we will have to deal with the 'strange' on one hand and guard against each other on the other. It's better to go our separate ways and see who has the better methods and completes the mission first."

"Nakagawa-san, what's your opinion... about Mako-san?"

Taisho smiled wryly and looked at the ghost-like woman not far away, asking for her opinion.

"separate."

Miss Mako softly uttered two words.

Seeing that no one supported his proposal, Da Zheng looked helpless and stopped insisting.

"Alright, let's split up then."

At this moment, Shinomiya Yan'an also stepped forward.

"Rest assured, everyone. As long as we can rescue my daughter, we will give a reward of 10 billion yen to every exorcist who participates in the rescue."

Shh~!

Maeda immediately whistled and gave Shinomiya Gan'an a thumbs up.

"Boss Shinomiya is very generous."

"Mr. Maeda, you flatter me. I entrust my daughter's safety to you all!"

As Shinomiya Yan'an spoke, he bowed deeply to everyone with a sincere expression.

"Mr. Shinomiya, please rest assured, we will do our best to rescue Miss Shinomiya."

Taisho quickly assured him.

"Kid, you're really lucky today. You just hang out and you've already got a 10 billion yen appearance fee."

Maeda said to Xu Ming with a mocking expression.

Xu Ming is too lazy to even bother with him now.

This uncivilized monkey always tries to bring him down to the same level and then defeat him with its rich experience of monkey life.

"Please let me join the rescue effort!"

At that moment, a figure rushed over, shouted to the crowd, and bowed deeply.

It was none other than the Silver Emperor who had returned!

"Let me go! Having one thug is troublesome enough, do I have to add another burden now?!"

Maeda immediately covered his forehead dramatically with his hand and shouted loudly.

"Excuse me, young man. This mansion is very dangerous, and we cannot bring ordinary people in with us."

Taisho looked troubled.

"Shirogane-kun, I've already said I don't want to see you again. Clinging on like this isn't a sign of good manners."

Shinomiya Yan'an's face showed a hint of displeasure.

"Hey! How did you let him in again! Throw him out right now!"

Shigu Yan'an's son immediately called out loudly.

Security personnel nearby rushed over, subdued Shirogane Miyuki, and dragged him outside.

This time, Xu Ming chose to remain aloof and observe.

Maeda's words may have been harsh, but they were the truth.

Ordinary people are far too weak and powerless when faced with the 'strange'.

With the decision made, and under the urging gaze of the major benefactor, Shigu Yan'an, they immediately set to work.

"The main gate is mine now!"

Maeda swaggered straight to the main entrance, as if afraid someone would try to take it from him.

"Huh? You!"

Just as Taisho was about to say something, he suddenly saw the old man Nakagawa subtly shaking his head at him. Taisho's lips moved, but in the end he sighed and said nothing.

"Everyone, I'll be taking my leave now. Once I get the 10 billion yen, I'll treat you all to drinks!"

Under the strange gazes of everyone, Maeda pushed open the door and went inside.

Chapter 172 The So-Called Great Family

With a creak, the door closed immediately after Maeda entered, and then it was instantly covered with black patches that looked like moss.

This situation seems to imply that the gate is sealed off...

Unlike Maeda, Xu Ming didn't blindly rush in. Instead, he lingered at the back of the group, secretly observing Taisho and Nakagawa.

Xu Ming noticed their exchange of glances.

These two guys must know something, which is why they let Maeda rush into the front door without stopping him.

Thinking about this, Xu Ming became even more cautious.

This mission is clearly different from the past.

In addition to dealing with the 'weird', you also have to deal with people with different intentions.

“Since young Maeda has chosen the front gate, then I will choose the back gate. With my old bones, I can’t do climbing over walls and through windows.”

After finishing his sentence, the old man Nakagawa smiled and walked towards the back of the mansion, leaning on his cane.

"Then I'll take charge of the side kitchen."

Taisho followed behind the old man Nakagawa.

These two clearly have something private to discuss.

However, Xu Ming did not rush to follow them. Instead, he turned around and walked in another direction, completely parting ways with the two.

He couldn't sneak around, and blindly following behind the two would only arouse their suspicion, without revealing any substantial information.

Rather than doing that, it's better to leave earlier.

Seeing that Xu Ming was so sensible, Da Zheng's face showed a hint of surprise, but he didn't react much and turned to chat with the old man Nakagawa.

The old man, Nakagawa, turned his head and glanced at Xu Ming's back, a meaningful look flashing in his eyes.

Watching Xu Ming and the others walk away, the young man beside Shigu Gan'an said to him with a face full of indignation:

"Father, why are you being so polite to them? With the wealth and power of our Shinomiya family, surely we can find a few 'hunting dogs'?"

Shinomiya Yanan remained silent, staring intently at his face.

The immense pressure hit him, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"W-What's wrong, Father?"

Shinomiya Yanan shook his head in disappointment.

"After all these years, you haven't improved at all. You really disappoint me, Yunying."

"Father, I..."

"Do you think I don't know what you've done? I'm not so old that I can't see. Hiromi Naoki, the owner of Zuishanju, has been having cash flow problems lately... It was you who did it, wasn't it?"

Shigu Yunying stared in horror at the old man in front of him. The old man's figure seemed to grow infinitely taller in his eyes, and large drops of sweat slid down Shigu Yunying's forehead.

With a thud, Shigu Yunying's legs gave way and he collapsed to his knees.

"Father, Father, I shouldn't have..."

Looking at the three sons kneeling on the ground, Shinomiya Yanan's disappointment deepened.

"You think I'm blaming you for harming Kaguya? You're wrong."

If she dies here, it only proves that she was nothing special.

Your real mistake was a lack of discretion.

I'm getting old. What I need is a leader who can guide the Shinomiya family forward, not a fool who drags the Shinomiya family into the abyss!

Because of your stupidity, you almost caused the entire Fourth Palace to perish with you!

To everyone's surprise, the seemingly kind and polite Shinomiya Gan'an would utter such cold and ruthless words.

Seemingly having finished her tirade, Shinomiya Gan'an waved wearily.

"You can leave now. Hand over your duties in the group and then go to the United States. From now on, everything in the family business is none of your business."

"Father!?"

Si Gong Yunying was immediately alarmed.

This effectively removed him from the line of succession.

Soon, several security personnel dragged Shinomiya Un'yō away.

Shinomiya Yan'an sighed and looked at the bald, middle-aged man who had remained silent to the side.

"Huang Guang, you were the one who secretly instigated him, weren't you?"

Despite the immense pressure emanating from Shinomiya Gan'an, Shinomiya Koukou remained unmoved, replying with a smile:

“Father, you are joking. How could I possibly harm my own sister?”

"How could that idiot come up with such a complicated plan?"

Shinomiya Yan'an suddenly sighed.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether it was you who did it or not. I don't have many years left to live... Huh?"

Just then, a commotion arose from afar.
