Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"Ahhhhh!!!"

They clutched their throats and collapsed to the ground in agony, their eyes gradually losing their light.

Red lightning gathered in Isaac's hand and transformed into a tiny Philosopher's Stone.

He walked back to the little girl and pointed the Philosopher's Stone at her. As the stone emitted light, the wounds on his body that had previously seemed unable to heal began to heal rapidly.

After the first aid was completed, the girl seemed to calm down a bit, and with a gentle movement, she looked up and suddenly reached out to Isaac.

Isaac realized that she had no intention of harming him, so he let her stroke his face and shoulders.

"I remember the policeman's voice and face," the girl said gently with a smile. "He's my type."

"Although my voice hasn't changed much, I used to be a bit more manly than I am now with this ugly face."

"I'm really curious." The girl's voice remained very gentle.

“I think I invited you to the school last time, but I didn’t see you,” Isaac asked.

He still remembered the girl, but he hadn't seen her at all during the few days that school had started.

“I took my sister to District 40, but she said she saw a military fortress, so we got scared and ran back to where we were,” the girl explained.

"..."

So it's Isaac's own problem.

“That’s not a military fortress, it’s just an ordinary school,” Isaac explained.

"I see." The girl nodded.

"Anyway, you should go back now and come back later," Isaac said. "And don't come back here again, it wouldn't be good if you got involved in what happened later."

"I understand." The girl straightened up, bowed to Isaac, and thanked him. "Please let me find an opportunity to thank you properly next time."

"There will be a chance."

Isaac turned and left, waving to the girl, though he knew she couldn't see him.

Looking at the dozens of corpses around him, with no police coming or anyone calling the police, all signs indicated that Tokyo was in chaos.

The government, led by the Holy Emperor, only promised to protect 30% of the population, leaving the remaining 70% as a mob.

Isaac looked at the Thirty-Two Monument in the distance, his smile growing wider.

“70% of the people, that’s nearly seven million people!” Isaac laughed, his eyes filled with madness.

There are still two days until the megalith officially collapses.

Chapter 306: Tendo and Light

"Boss, how about you cover my classes for the day?"

Isaac said this to Mugen over the phone.

"Huh? Sure, but what does Satomi want to do?" Kisara asked, puzzled.

“I just investigated the person in charge of the No. 32 megalith using network access, but it seems that many documents have been deleted,” Isaac said. “This may involve some confidential information from the Tokyo district leadership.”

Secrets of the Tokyo Ward's top leadership?

Mu Xiao read it aloud, a guess now forming in her mind.

Could it have been done by someone from the Tendo family?

“So I’m going to investigate the few places where I can find the information in the existing documents to see if I can find any clues,” Isaac continued. “So I’m leaving the task of teaching those kids today to you.”

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

After saying that, Kisara hung up the phone.

If it really was made by the Tendo family, then that would be fantastic news for her.

Finally, I have a chance to get revenge.

A smile appeared on Kisei's face, a smile of excitement before his great revenge was about to be achieved.

At the same time, Isaac put the phone back in his pocket and then looked at the trembling middle-aged man in front of him.

"So tell me everything you know right now, or I'll shoot you dead."

As he spoke, he pressed the pistol against the head of the person in front of him.

"If I tell them, the Tiantong family will definitely not let me off the hook," the middle-aged man said in a trembling voice.

The Tendo family, as the largest family in Tokyo Ward, controls the region's economy and politics, and can be said to be an all-powerful force.

"So it really is related to the Tiantong family."

After receiving this answer, Isaac continued to look at the person in front of him and said, "Don't worry, the Tian Tong family can't touch you. As a police officer ranked fifteenth in IP, I can guarantee that."

"Really...really?"

Police officers with IP rankings starting with ten have become a benchmark of combat capability that governments around the world dare not underestimate. The middle-aged man believed that if the young man in front of him was indeed a police officer with an IP ranking of fifteen, then he could indeed protect him.

"of course."

"Okay, I have some materials here that might be helpful to you."

The middle-aged man let out a long breath and carefully opened a safe from the side. He took out a document and handed it to Isaac.

Isaac took the document and glanced at it, noticing a name on it that caught his attention.

"Tendou and Hikaru?"

“That’s right, he was the one who contracted out the No. 32 megalithic monument. However, he hid the relevant information before the project was completed and asked me to keep it strictly confidential. Now that there is a problem with that megalithic monument, I think it should also be related to that person.”

Are there any rumors about whether he tampered with the monolith?

"I don't know about that. That's all the information I have. Tendo Kazumitsu is now the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. If he finds out about me..."

"Alright, I get what you mean." Isaac waved his hand impatiently. "Speaking of which, the Tokyo area is almost on the verge of collapse. Did you get one of the 30% of the asylum spots?"

"No, I was planning to go to Sendai this afternoon through connections, but..."

However, given the current situation in Tokyo, going out is not a safe thing. With Gastrea that could invade at any time and mobs everywhere, it's uncertain whether one can survive if they go out.

"How about I tell you where to take refuge?"

"what?"

“In the ‘Flame of Return,’ the camp that my team and I built is so secure that Gastrea wouldn’t dare to enter,” Isaac said. “And with me around, Aldebaran isn’t a difficult opponent either.”

"Okay... but why are you helping me?"

The man asked, puzzled, "They were holding a gun to him at first, demanding information, but now they're offering him a refuge area."

Isaac waved the phone in his hand. "You provide me with intelligence, and in return, I can provide you with security."

"This is an equivalent exchange."

After packing his luggage, the middle-aged man prepared to head to the 'Flame of Return' that Isaac had mentioned.

It's not too far from here, so there's no need to worry too much about safety on the way.

“Mr. Satomi, if you’re looking for leverage against Tendo and Hikaru, I have some more information here,” the man said before leaving.

"what?"

He handed Isaac a note with the name Hashida Asahi written on it, followed by an address.

"This is the person who competed with Tendo Kazumitsu for the position of deputy director of the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Bureau. I once heard that he seemed to have information about Tendo Kazumitsu, but he was unable to report it due to the power of the Tendo family."

"Well, thank you very much."

Isaac grabbed the note and headed towards the address. He found an apartment at the address on the note.

Ding Dong!

"Who?"

A man came out and asked Isaac outside the door.

"I am Rentaro Satomi, a police officer from the Tendo Civil Security Company."

"Tendou?"

The man's expression changed instantly. He immediately tried to close the door, but Isaac grabbed it.

Why are you so scared?

"Have the Tendo family received the news yet!?"

The man tried to close the door, but it wouldn't budge as Isaac held the handle.

"Calm down."

"Does your Tiantong family want to wipe us out completely? Let me tell you, I won't reveal the evidence..."

Isaac sighed as he watched the people continuing to shout.

Click!

Isaac ripped the entire door off and smashed it down on the man's head.

Clang!

Looking at the man who had been knocked unconscious, Isaac said:

That's why I told you to calm down.

Ten minutes later.

"I see, you're not from the Tiantong family."

The man with bandages on his head poured Isaac a cup of tea.

The man was Hashida Asahi, whose name was written on the note.

"So, Mr. Satomi, what brings you to see me this time?"

“Naturally, it’s about evidence concerning Tendo and Hikaru. Our boss is planning to take action against that person,” Isaac said.

"I see. So you want to take down that guy?" Hashida sighed. "He's from the Tendo family. Taking him down won't be easy."

Despite saying that, he still handed a stack of documents to Isaac.

This document records that after Tiantong and Guang contracted out the project, they added a large amount of mixture to the materials used in the construction of the megalithic monument in order to reduce costs and obtain huge profits.
