"It seems that the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family has made a wise choice."

The members of the Fools couldn't help but smile when they saw Ayaka Kamisato emerge. Thomas, who was extremely anxious, hadn't even gotten close to Ayaka Kamisato when the ice element on her body suddenly erupted, forming an ice vortex.

"This move was originally intended for sparring with my brother, but I'll use it on you guys first."

"Divine Flow - Frost Annihilation!"

Chapter 304 The Failure of the Fools

"Hiss~ When did Ayaka learn this move? The power and range... If there were a holder of the Water Element God's Eye here, wouldn't they be able to freeze these Fools forever?"

Watching the Fatui elites below being blasted away by the ice vortex thrown by Ayaka Kamisato, Su Bai gasped. In his memory, Ayaka had always been a gentle and soft girl. Back when he was in Inazuma, he would always protect Ayaka whenever they went shopping together. Now it seems he still doesn't really understand Ayaka.

No one knows what happened to him in the two years since he left Inazuma, but Ayaka actually created such a powerful move. Based on this move alone, Su Bai felt that even his older brother, Ayato Kamisato, might not be able to defeat Ayaka Kamisato.

Inside the Kamisato Mansion, as the ice vortex grew larger, the elite members of the Fatui were forced to temporarily retreat. Even so, many Fatui members still fell within the ice vortex.

Seeing the Fools screaming in agony in the ice vortex, Thomas suddenly felt a little glad that he hadn't agreed when Ayaka asked him to try out her new move because he was busy dealing with Ayato's instructions. Otherwise, even with his shield, he would have been skinned alive if that ice vortex had hit him.

"Damn it, what's wrong with those people in charge of gathering intelligence? Isn't it said that the young lady of the Kamisato family is skilled in swordsmanship? What's with this wide-range attack?"

The captain of the Fatui, who was in charge of the sneak attack on Kamisato Yashiki, felt like his heart was bleeding. These were all elites of the Fatui, and now so many of them had died. Even if they successfully brought Kamisato Ayaka back, they might not get any credit.

When we get back, we'll have to give the intelligence department a piece of our mind. They failed to investigate such an important matter; they're just using Mora for their own purposes.

"Um, Miss, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I just overused my elemental power. I'll be fine after a rest."

Seeing that Ayaka's face was a little pale, Thomas asked her with concern. Ayaka shook her head to indicate that she was fine. Her "Shinri Ryuu: Frost Annihilation" had just dealt with many of the Fatui, and the remaining Fatui should be no problem for Thomas and the others.

Seeing the heavy losses suffered by the Fatui, Su Bai, who was flying in the air, poured his lightning element directly onto the Fatui who were still heading to the Kamisatoshiki.

"Hold on a little longer, the reinforcements from the rear should be arriving soon."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Fatui members inside the Kamisato Mansion sensed the surge of lightning element outside, and their expressions turned grim. What was originally an incredibly easy task seemed to have become somewhat unpredictable.

"Young Miss, this elemental force seems to belong to Su Bai."

"Huh? Thomas, how did you know?"

Faced with Ayaka Kamisato's question, Thomas pointed to the excited Kageroumaru beside him. Ayaka Kamisato then nodded in realization, a faint smile returning to her face. But then, as if remembering something, Ayaka's expression changed, becoming somewhat regretful.

"Young Miss, are you injured somewhere?"

"No, I'm fine."

Linghua forced a smile. Seeing that his young mistress seemed to be alright, Thomas didn't ask any more questions. After all, his family head had once said that it was very difficult to guess what a young girl was thinking.

In fact, Linghua was not injured, but she was extremely uneasy. She was very worried that Su Bai might have seen her cold and ruthless side just now and misunderstood her.

"Wasn't it supposed to be foolproof? Why did their reinforcements arrive so quickly? Do those intelligence guys want us to die here?"

Seeing the Fools around him already having second thoughts, the Fool squad leader in charge of the operation cursed out loud. "Damn it," he thought, "if this operation fails, Lord Sannin will definitely not let him live."

The key issue is that if it were really his fault, that would be one thing, but this time he was truly betrayed by the intelligence department. Very little of the intelligence they provided was accurate.

"Tsk, it seems your luck is indeed not very good. Gentlemen, how about you go sit in the prison of the Heavenly Ruler? It provides food and lodging, and it's perfect for all of you fools here."

A flippant voice came from behind the Fatui. Seeing the lightning and wind elements flashing in Su Bai's hand, the Fatui squad leader took a few steps back. This can't be called bad luck anymore, this should be considered extremely unlucky.

"We'll fight to the death! If we can capture that girl from the Kamisato family, we'll survive; otherwise, we'll all die here!"

After that, the remaining Fools realized that they were going to die anyway, and if they could capture Ayaka Kamisato, they might be able to avoid death by using her as a hostage.

Unfortunately, while the idea was good, the difference in strength was too great. With the lightning element diffusion provided by Su Bai, Thomas's fire element directly overloaded with the lightning element. The violent explosion not only left the courtyard of the Kamisato House in ruins, but the Fatui were also not much better off, with each of them covered in injuries.

"Su Bai, thanks to you this time. If you have time tonight, you can come to Kamisato Yashiki for dinner. After what happened, my brother must have a lot to say to you."

Ignoring the groans of the Fools lying on the ground, Ayaka walked up to Su Bai and shyly invited him to dinner that evening. Considering that a lot had happened that day, he felt it necessary to review and discuss it with Ayaka Kamisato. Su Bai readily agreed.

That's great! Seeing that Su Bai had agreed, Linghua felt happy inside, but she didn't show it on her face and still had a gentle smile.

"By the way, Ayaka, has your Kamisato family noticed anything unusual lately? It doesn't have to be the Fatui Clan; you can also tell me about any unusual things happening within the Inazuma Clan."

"Abnormal? I don't really know anything about that. I'll call Thomas over and ask him."

After Linghua and Thomas discussed Su Bai's problem, Thomas scratched his head and said, "To be honest, since he is still wanted, I don't have much information about him."

"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual, but if I had to name one, it seems that the Kujo family's recent food purchases have increased several times over. For some unknown reason, the head of the family also had the people from the final chapters purchase a batch of stone."

The amount of ingredients purchased had increased several times over. Su Bai narrowed his eyes. If it were any other unusual situation, he might not have been able to confirm it. But now it seemed that these suddenly appearing Fools were probably lurking in the Kujou family.

What audacity of Kujo Takayuki! He actually allowed the Fools to infiltrate the Kujo family and then take advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack on the remaining two major families. Does this guy really think that Raiden General wouldn't know anything? Even if Raiden General doesn't know, don't forget that there's still Miko-nee here.

(I'm taking tomorrow off; my stomach still isn't better... It turns out that eating greasy food when you have diarrhea makes your stomach feel even worse.)

Chapter 305 The Tong Family (1)

Hisaki Shinobu: 'The Fools from the remote island are steadily approaching the Tong family. If we don't take some action soon, the entire Tong family may perish at their hands.'

Yoomiya: 'Shinobu, you should hurry and find the Shogunate army. If they're there, the Fools shouldn't openly attack the Tou family.'

Hisaki Shinobu: 'I just searched the entire island, and I couldn't find a trace of the Shogunate army. And most importantly, I couldn't even find a single Shogunate soldier in their usual resting place. This dereliction of duty is simply outrageous.'

On a large tree near the Tong family's residence, Kuki Shinobu was lurking, constantly observing the movements of the Fools below. Although the head of the Tong family was not a very good person, his well-trained retainers were quite capable, and several of them had actually noticed something amiss.

"Master, something seems amiss here. Should I send someone to investigate?"

"Hmm? Something's not right? Could that old dog Kujo Takayuki be plotting something again?"

When Tong Shenjie, who had fought with Kujo Takayuki his whole life, heard his most trusted and capable retainer say this, he immediately thought of Kujo Takayuki. In order to ensure the safety of the Tong family, Tong Shenjie waved his hand and asked the retainer to check.

"Go, take Qianli back inside. No matter what happens later, don't let Qianli come out, understand?"

"Yes, Master."

Upon hearing Tong Shenjie's request, a group of retainers, accompanied by a group of maids, led the bewildered Tong Qianli into the house, unaware of what was happening.

Seeing her father's serious expression, Tong Qianli felt a pang of worry. Could it be that someone from that family had come to propose marriage? But she already had someone she loved and couldn't accept anyone else.

Tong Qianli, meanwhile, muttered to himself, "Could it be that Nine Old Dogs has come to propose marriage? Hmph, he only has one precious daughter, Qianli. Nine Old Dogs must have some ulterior motive for wanting his son to marry Qianli."

Tong Shenjie pondered Kujo Takayuki's purpose but did not object, because he knew that his beloved daughter did indeed like Kujo's second son, and as a father, he naturally wanted his children to live happily.

"Master, Miss has been taken back to her room, but she seems a little unhappy..."

"Hmph, just keep her in the house. She's my daughter, do you think I don't know what he's up to?"

The thought that his precious daughter might be devoured by that pig raised by the Nine Old Dogs made Tong Shenjie's teeth ache. Why didn't he have a son and why didn't the Nine Old Dogs have a daughter? Damn it, no way! Even if she marries into the Nine Old Dogs' family, the dowry can't be less. It's time to really rip off those Nine Old Dogs.

Thinking of the Kujo family's considerable wealth, a hint of greed appeared in Tong Shenjie's eyes. Although the Tong family was the wealthiest among the three major families, the Kujo family was not far behind. Taking this opportunity to further enrich the Tong family's wealth would not be bad.

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

"What kind of panicked behavior is this? Did those nine old dogs lead a group to surround our Tong family?"

"No, it's not."

"That's no problem. Take a breath and speak slowly. Otherwise, if others see this, they'll say that our Tong family's retainers are not polite."

Seeing that his trusted confidant had no manners whatsoever, Tong Shenjie couldn't help but reprimand him. The retainer who had gone out to investigate the situation calmed his breathing before slowly speaking.

"Master, a large number of Fools have suddenly appeared outside. It seems they are heading towards our Tong family. Should we prepare in advance?"

"What! The Fools? You're not seeing things?"

“Master, there’s no mistake. Although these Fools are disguised, I’ve dealt with Fools many times and I recognized them at a glance.”

As Tong Shenjie's confidant, this retainer who frequently dealt with the Fools immediately recognized those sneaky fellows hiding in the shadows as Fools who had made deals with the Tong family.

Tong Shenjie's expression turned somewhat ugly. Although the Fool Clan had some cooperation with the Tong family, many of these cooperations had been put on hold due to some recent unexpected events. Did they come here this time to try to revive these cooperations?

No, we can't cooperate with the Fools anymore. Even if we become enemies with them, we can't cooperate anymore. If we continue to cooperate and that kid from the Kamisato family and that girl from the Kujo family find out, then the Tou family will really be wiped out.

Tong Shenjie never doubted Ayato Kamisato's methods. If Ayato Kamisato really obtained any evidence, then the Tong family would definitely disappear from Inazuma, and they would disappear from Inazuma through legitimate means.

Thinking of this, Tong Shenjie felt a little bitter. If he had known that Yae no Kyoji would step in to protect the Kamisato family, his Tong family wouldn't have jumped around so excitedly. If they had used their daughter to marry that Kamisato boy back then, the Kujo family would probably have been taken over by their two families long ago.

"Sigh, it's all fate. Tell our men to prepare for battle. Also, let the young lady leave through the secret passage. This is our business, don't let her get involved."

"Master, then..."

"It's alright, I'll wait for them here. I want to see what the Fools are up to."

Tong Shenjie stood in the courtyard. The only person in the entire Tong family who mattered to him was his daughter, Tong Qianli. The rest of the family members were of no value and their lives or deaths were of no concern to him.

"It seems that the head of the Tong family has been waiting for us. It's been a long time since we've seen the head of the Tong family. I wonder how he has been doing lately."

A sinister voice suddenly sounded behind Tong Shenjie. The pupils of Tong's retainer shrank, and he immediately drew a samurai sword to protect Tong Shenjie behind him.

Tong Shenjie slowly turned around, and sure enough, the person in front of him was the Fool Clan member who had previously been in charge of contacting the Tong family. Tong Shenjie looked at the Fool Clan member holding a weapon and said without any emotional fluctuation.

"You fools, you promised everything would be foolproof, but now that little girl from the Kujo family has discovered something amiss. You still have the nerve to show your faces here? Aren't you afraid I'll expose everything?"

"Haha, patriarch of the Tong family, are you out of your mind? If you expose everything, your Tong family will be finished too."

Despite the mockery of this fool, Tong Shenjie remained unmoved. The fool, however, began to feel something was amiss. Tong Shenjie, who usually fawned over them, seemed like a completely different person today.

"Patriarch of the Tong family, you don't actually think you can threaten us, do you? Let me tell you the truth, we, the Fools, are here today to eliminate this threat of yours."

Chapter 306 The Tong Family (2)

Ayaka Kamisato: 'Brother, the Fools in Kamisato's residence have all been wiped out. Su Bai is flying towards Inazuma Castle; he doesn't seem to have any intention of helping the Tong family.'

Ayato Kamisato: 'Well, this does involve a bit of personal grudge, but it wasn't anything too outrageous. The Tori family and the Fools colluded to harm Inazuma; they deserved to die.'

Hisaki Shinobu: 'Does the Kamisato family head really not need to make any preparations? The Fatui have all entered the Tong family compound, and they seem to be confronting the Tong family head, saying something to each other.'

Ayato Kamisato: 'They didn't fight immediately? It seems the relationship between the Tong family and the Fatui is closer than I thought. Tsk, then it's basically certain that the crystallized bone marrow in the Fatui's Evil Eye factory was supported by the Tong family behind the scenes.'

Coral Palace Heart Sea: 'That Evil Eye factory has been almost completely cleaned up. At the Traveler's suggestion, we converted the machine responsible for compressing crystallized bone marrow into a machine for producing something called compressed biscuits.'

Inside the Coral Palace, Coral Palace Xin Hai tapped the compressed biscuit in her hand against the table. Looking at the dent that appeared on the table, Coral Palace Xin Hai fell silent for a moment. This thing is so hard, can it really be eaten?

Thanks to the various forms of aid provided by the shogunate, there was no shortage of food, so Shinkai readily approved the production of this new type of product. However, he felt that the finished product was rather hard.

"Lord Xinhai, you'd better not eat this. The person in charge of tasting this stuff has already broken half of his teeth. For the sake of your image, please leave this to us."

When Goro saw that Shinkai was about to put the freshly produced compressed biscuit into his mouth, he immediately jumped out and stopped him. This thing was much harder than a rock, and he didn't want to see his master Shinkai break his teeth.

"Forget it, I'll go ask the traveler how to consume this thing. I think it's very likely that this thing is a backup weapon or backup armor invented by people from another world."
