Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

Chapter 390: Matou Zouken's Ambition

"It seems that the insect secret technique of the Matou family has made great progress. It can even allow a person's soul to enter the body of an insect." Toosaka Sakura clearly saw in her mental power that the old soul of Matou Zouken was in the body of a blood-red insect.

"Then, could you please tell me about Uncle Kariya?" Toosaka Sakura was very polite and considerate. She lit a piece of wood and placed it under the blood-red insect. It was just a little bit away from burning it, but the scorching temperature of the flame was still roasting the insect where Matou Zouken was hiding.

Matou Zouken controlled the blood-red insect's body and struggled many times, but found that he could not break free, so he simply stopped and spoke, a small blood-red insect uttering human language, "Because Kariya's life at this moment is maintained by me using the insect secret technique. He has too few magic circuits in his body, even worse than a magic apprentice. If he wants to participate in the Holy Grail Game, this is the only way. He found me, even though the person he likes is already married and has two daughters."

"But the concept of love in his heart seems to overcome his rationality, so I cultivated the Marking Worm in his body. However, I am hiding the mother worm now. If I die, the mother worm will also die. If the mother worm dies, the Marking Worm in Kariya's body will also die. Kariya is now maintaining a state of balance with the Marking Worm. If the Marking Worm dies, this balance will be broken, and Kariya will quickly lose his life and step into death." Matou Zouken's hoarse and dry voice was like rubbing fingernails on tree bark, talking about Matou Kariya.

When Toosaka Sakura heard this, her brows slightly frowned. She didn't expect there was such a connection.

"He can be so cruel to his own son. It seems that Uncle Kariya is a direct descendant of the Matou family, although he is only the second son." Toosaka Sakura is puzzled that Matou Zouken could be so cruel to his own son.

"Son? Hehehe, a man who refuses to restore the honor of the Matou family has no right to be my son. Although Tsuruno has the intention, the magic circuits in his body are many times worse than Kariya's. Toosaka Sakura, if your father Toosaka Tokiomi had agreed to your engagement with Shinji, with your talent that far exceeds that of an excellent magician, you would definitely give birth to extremely outstanding offspring," said Matou Zouken in a very regretful tone.

From the perspective of a modern magician, a huge factor that affects a magician's future is the magic circuits in the magician's body. This is an almost unchangeable factor. Matou Zouken's two sons, Matou Tsuruno and Matou Kariya, did not inherit his talent as a magician. Matou Tsuruno's son Matou Shinji does not have the talent of a magician either.

This situation made Matou Zouken, who was determined to expand the Matou family, very desperate, so he used the Matou family's top-secret technology to separate his soul from his body and put it into the imprinted worm queen that had been cultivated long ago, constantly changing his body. Although the conflict between soul and body would cause his new body to decay quickly, he had been secretly guiding the future of the Matou family.

The birth of Matou Shinji brought the flame of hope in Matou Zouken's heart to the brink of collapse, so he spared no effort, even using the Matou family's technology as a bargaining chip, in an attempt to form an alliance with the Tohsaka Group. When Tohsaka Tokiomi was holding a birthday party for the Tohsaka sisters, he explored the two sisters' talent for magic. His amazing talent made Matou Zouken's eyes turn red with envy.

A magician can keep his blood pure by maintaining pure blood, and has a high chance of giving birth to offspring with excellent talents. However, because Matou Zouken has been the heir of the Matou family for several generations, the power of his blood has been almost diluted. Therefore, his two sons, Matou Tsuruno and Matou Kariya, were born without many magic circuits, and the next generation, Matou Shinji, is even worse.

The way to change the collapse situation is to find an excellent mother, use the mother's talents, and optimize the other party's bloodline.

Unfortunately, Matou Zouken's marriage plan completely failed because of Li Xuan's arrival.

Toosaka Tokiomi originally thought that the strength of the Matou Group was similar to his own, and since his ancestors were all from the same three great families, he planned to agree. However, he did not expect that his daughter would come back soon and tell him that his sister and Li Xuan were in love. This situation made Toosaka Tokiomi immediately reject Matou Zouken.

"The Matou family cannot do without me. Only with me can the Matou family remain glorious forever." The blood-red insect began to struggle frantically again, and the Matou Zouken inside was also struggling.

"What an enviable talent for magic. You already have such strength at this age, and the attack just now went against the principles of magic," said Zouken Matou with a tone full of jealousy.

Toosaka Sakura took out a gem and began to engrave a mark with her mental power. At the same time, she spoke with a very disgusted tone, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have been in this state for many years. The rotten aura emanating from your soul is at least a hundred years old. You can't be the old monster who survived the Matou family a long time ago."

Sakura Toosaka's words made Zouken Matou's pupils shrink inside the blood-red bug, and his struggling movements paused.

This situation made Toosaka Sakura, who was engraving the sealing ritual, stunned for a moment, and then she said in surprise, "I really guessed it? You are really an old monster who survived a long time ago. Your incarnation technique should have very great limitations. It can be seen from the body that I have burned in the basement that you actually attacked your own descendants and occupied your own descendants? This is really disgusting behavior. Only fire can completely destroy a filthy thing like you."

Seeing the secret she had guessed inadvertently, Toosaka Sakura sped up the speed of engraving the sealing ritual. Her gem magic came from the collection room of the Gem Master in the Clock Tower. The power of the method she got from Li Xuan was too great. Even if it was a sealing technique, it was maintained by extracting the essence and spirit of the sealed target. If this kind of sealing technique was used on Zouyan Matou in his current condition, he would probably die before she could get rid of the bugs on Kariya Matou.

The Tohsaka family also had gem magic, but because Tohsaka Tokiomi's father, Tohsaka Sakura's grandfather, saw the weakening of the bloodline, he decided to cut it off, so it was not passed down.

Not long after, a thumb-sized gem with a large number of mysterious inscriptions engraved on its surface appeared. When Zouken Matou saw this gem, he felt a sense of panic that he had not felt for a long time.

"What, what is this?" The blood-red insect struggled even harder, but under the mental suppression of Toosaka Sakura, it was unable to break free.

Under the manipulation of Sakura Toosaka, the gem came in front of the blood-red insect, and directly created a whirlpool, pulling the blood-red insect in. Sakura Toosaka said lightly, "This is a sealing magic. You will stay in this gem forever."

Chapter 391 Chief of Security - Emiya Kiritsugu

"No!!", Zouken Matou let out a shrill wail, and then the gem vortex disappeared, and the blood-red insect that Zouken Matou had transformed into was also completely sucked into the gem.

Toosaka Sakura glanced at the sealing gem, flicked her finger, and a stream of internal energy flew out, blasting a hole three or four meters deep in the ground. Then she threw the sealing gem in. The internal energy surged, and the hole was completely filled with mud.

Toosaka Sakura didn't want to carry the Sealed Gem with her, she thought it was too disgusting, so she simply buried it underground and let Matou Zouken stay in the place he loved most.

After doing all this, Toosaka Sakura left the Matou family and rushed to where Rider was.

...

Fuyuki City Police Department.

Kiritsugu Emiya took out two MP5s from the armory and hung them around his waist. On the left side of the gun belt was a silver Desert Eagle, and on the right side was a regular Kgro.

After taking a few magazines, Emiya Kiritsugu said goodbye to his colleagues and left the security bureau.

He is the chief of the Fuyuki City Police Department. After taking over more than ten years ago, his years of experience have allowed him to sense the extraordinary destructive secrets of the Holy Grail Game.

After his investigation, he finally found relevant archival records a few years ago. The three major conglomerates in Fuyuki City invented an extraordinary battle for the Holy Grail Game, which caused immeasurable damage and losses all over the world and affected many innocent people.

In this regard, driven by interests, people at certain levels remained silent or even tried to cover it up.

After communicating with a local detective who had experienced a similar situation before, Kiritsugu Emiya finally found the Magician's Association who would stop at nothing to get to the root of the problem.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who has believed in justice since childhood, directly classified the Magician Association, an organization that disregards the lives of ordinary people, as a pest organization. So, over the past few years, except for the more sensitive places here in Sakura, Emiya Kiritsugu traveled around the world hunting magicians and was given the title of Magician Killer.

In addition to choosing Kenneth to participate in the Holy Grail Game, Clock Tower also chose a supporting partner for him, that is Kiritsugu Emiya.

The Clock Tower also had its own considerations for choosing Kiritsugu Emiya. First of all, the Clock Tower did not have direct contact with Kiritsugu Emiya, but only issued the commission to him. Secondly, the Clock Tower also told Kenneth that if it found that Kiritsugu Emiya was not right, he would be killed directly.

The Clock Tower is the base camp of modern magicians in the UK and one of the best holy places for modern magicians in the world.

In recent years, Kiritsugu Emiya's title of magician killer has naturally been complained to the Clock Tower by the Magician Association.

The Clock Tower was entrusted to Emiya Kiritsugu with the intention of destroying it once it was used up.

After all, although Kiritsugu Emiya can be considered a magician, his fighting methods are unacceptable to modern magicians. Through his past battle records and monitoring, it can be seen that Kiritsugu Emiya relies more on modern firearms than magic.

The Magic Association has lost many outstanding magicians since it was targeted by Emiya Kiritsugu.

The Clock Tower gave the commission to Kiritsugu Emiya and told him the information that the Holy Grail Game would gather many magicians. Kiritsugu Emiya could not refuse at all. After returning to Fuyuki City, he immediately began to prepare for the Holy Grail Game.

He was not preparing to win, but to kill all those who participated in the Holy Grail Game.

Kiritsugu Emiya believes that this Holy Grail Game will cause the deaths of a large number of people, and the death of seven Masters will be able to end the Holy Grail Game and save the large number of people who will be affected. This is Kiritsugu Emiya's justice.

That day, he received a notice from Kenneth and went to the dock with him, where he saw Toosaka Rin and the others. After seeing that the Holy Grail Game actually involved people who were obviously high school students, he felt even more disgusted with this injustice.

After assisting Kenneth and Lancer in the challenge and failing, Kiritsugu Emiya saw the seriously injured Kenneth and immediately found an opportunity. He captured Kenneth's location through a high-precision scope outside the hotel where Kenneth was, and he and his assistant Hisau Maiya opened fire to try to snipe Kenneth.

Unfortunately, Lancer is a heroic spirit, an otherworldly being in himself. The bullets from a sniper rifle are very fast in the eyes of ordinary people, but in front of a heroic spirit that uses its spiritual sense, their trajectories are still easily captured.

The sniper rifle did not work, so Kiritsugu Emiya directly detonated and set fire to the hotel where Kenneth was, wanting to burn him to death, but unfortunately he was heroically rescued by Lancer.

Today, Emiya Kiritsugu noticed something strange, so he started preparing early. The strangeness came from the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid in Emiya Kiritsugu's pocket, which was like a tiny speck of dust. The Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid kept moving in one direction in the glass bottle, obviously calling for something.

Kiritsugu Emiya saw that the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid was the magic gift that Kenneth used yesterday, so he realized that Kenneth should be rushing towards him. He did not send a message to notify him, which was definitely not a good thing according to Kenneth's arrogant personality.

Kiritsugu Emiya quickly returned to his home. Seeing the photo of himself and his son Shirou Emiya placed in the hall, Kiritsugu's eyes became determined. He took out a few special bullets from the safe and went to the park, where the terrain was open and very suitable for Kenneth's burial place.

When the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid in the glass bottle was about to break through the bottle, Emiya Kiritsugu also saw Lancer appearing at the entrance of the park, looking at something with a pointer in his hand.

"Lancer?", Emiya Kiritsugu asked a little puzzled. In fact, there was a mini Bluetooth headset in his ear, and Hisau Maiya was reporting to him all the situations within a radius of 200 meters.

"Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu, you broke the promise you made to my monarch and attacked our allies. I'm here to clear you out under the monarch's orders," Lancer found Kiritsugu, explained the reason directly, and walked into the park.

call out!

The sound of bullets flying in the air was heard, and a bullet suddenly appeared in front of Lancer, aiming at his head. If this bullet hits, even if Lancer is a heroic spirit, he will probably be smashed like a hammer hitting a watermelon - flowers scattering from the sky.

However, Lancer is a Heroic Spirit, and a Heroic Spirit who has experienced hundreds of battles and has honed his combat instincts. He sees things with more than just his eyes. He lowered his head in an instant, and the bullet flew past Lancer's hair.

"Another sneak attack? Emiya Kiritsugu, as a warrior, you should fight in an upright manner. This is the only way to win the respect of your opponent." Lancer swung his spear and made a move to launch an attack.

When Kiritsugu Emiya heard Lancer's warrior speech, he sneered, "Openly? Sorry, those magicians who died from my bullets don't have this qualification. Kayneth is afraid of death? So he only sent you."

Chapter 392 Origin Bomb

"Please don't slander my monarch," Lancer said, thrusting his spear forward.

Compared with firearms, cold weapons are at a disadvantage in the hands of ordinary people.

But now the situation is the opposite. Lancer holding a cold weapon, a spear, is chasing Emiya Kiritsugu, stabbing and sweeping continuously, occasionally sweeping down a few bullets flying from a distance.

"Lancer, you came here alone. If Kenneth was attacked by another Master, wouldn't you have failed in your duty? As a warrior, failing to protect the life and death of the monarch is enough to stain your life." While dodging Lancer's attack, he took out his MP5 and fired. Although Kiritsugu Emiya did not have many magic circuits, his attribute was the very rare time attribute.

Although he cannot use the effect of freezing space and time like Sakuya Izayoi or Kurumi Tokisaki due to the limitation of magic circuits, he has found another way and developed magic to accelerate his own body's time and objects of specified mass. This is his unique magic.

Relying on this magic, Emiya Kiritsugu's movement speed is very fast, not inferior to the Lancer at this time. You know, even if it is the Lancer in normal state now, his speed is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Among the seven major occupations, his agility is the only A.

It was also because of this magic that when he saw Sakura Toosaka coming to search for him from afar yesterday, he escaped from Sakura Toosaka's hands. Although he started to accelerate madly when they were more than a hundred meters apart and took the attack, Kiritsugu Emiya used time magic to speed up the healing of his wounds, and as a result, his life was shortened a little.

"I am strong enough to complete the monarch's commission and return to protect the monarch." Lancer's spear turned into a round of gun dance, accurately blocking all the bullets fired from the MP5.

"Oh, you foolishly loyal man. Even if it's an unjust act, you will still do it for your monarch, right? So you can only be regarded as a warrior, a minion of a vicious dog," Emiya Kiritsugu mocked mercilessly. In his opinion, Lancer, who always believes whatever his monarch says, is a typical foolishly loyal man.

Lancer's eyes flashed, he caught Emiya Kiritsugu's weakness, stabbed him with a spear, as fast as lightning, then suddenly stopped attacking and quickly leaned over.

Another bullet pierced his back in the distance, and then Lancer swung his gun again to block Kiritsugu Emiya's shooting. Kiritsugu even took out a grenade and caused a delayed explosion.

However, the existence of the Heroic Spirit itself is beyond ordinary understanding, and the iron pieces produced by the grenade explosion were actually blocked by Lancer.

"You are very powerful, Emiya Kiritsugu, to have been able to hold out for so long under the command of a Heroic Spirit like me. It's a pity that you are my enemy. Otherwise, with your help, Lord Kenneth would have had a much better chance of winning this time." Lancer swept his gun away, sweeping away all the aftermath of the grenade explosion.

Emiya Kiritsugu performed acceleration magic and once again escaped from Lancer's attack range.

Then he began to sneer, "Help? If I stay with an enemy of justice like Kenneth for one more minute, I will inevitably pull out my pistol and feed him bullets."

After saying that, Emiya Kiritsugu threw out another grenade, this time two.

The impact of the explosion temporarily forced Lancer to use his spear to block and dodge.

Taking advantage of this time, Kiritsugu Emiya took out the Kroger from his gun belt and shot at Lancer.

"It's useless, Emiya Kiritsugu, you will definitely die in my hands today. Even if you have companions covering you in the distance, the bullets in guns are limited." Lancer saw Emiya Kiritsugu take out his pistol and shoot. He could clearly see the bullet flying out of the barrel and couldn't help but explain the situation.

However, the next moment, Lancer's face changed, and after nearly ten minutes of fighting, he showed a serious look for the first time. His combat instinct told him that he must not be hit by this bullet, and he couldn't even block this bullet, otherwise a very bad situation would occur.

So, Lancer rolled sideways to avoid the bullet. The bullet hit the big tree behind him, and the tree instantly became necrotic.

"Poison?" Looking at the situation of the tree, a thoughtful look flashed in Lancer's eyes.

But no one could explain it to him, not even Emiya Kiritsugu, the only person who knew the truth.

When Kiritsugu Emiya saw that the Origin Bullet was dodged, a look of regret flashed across his eyes, and then flames spewed out from the MP5, and a small metal storm reappeared.

The Origin Bullet was a magic weapon made by Kiritsugu Emiya by cutting off the first and second ribs on both sides of his abdomen, grinding them into powder and injecting them into sixty-six bullets as the core.

In addition to the attribute of time, Kiritsugu Emiya also has two other characteristics, cutting and combining, which is the origin of his name.

So Kiritsugu Emiya cut off his first and second ribs as a magic gift. Since Kiritsugu Emiya used himself as the medium, the bullets injected with his rib bone powder had the properties of cutting and combining.

The target location that is hit will not suffer wounds or bleeding, but all functions within that location will be lost and cut off at the source. This is fatal to a magus. The higher the level of the magus, the more serious the consequences of being hit by the origin bullet. This is why Kiritsugu Emiya is keen on using firearms.

The big tree that was hit just now has all its life connections cut off, and it will die completely soon.

However, although Kiritsugu Emiya's Origin Bullet is extremely threatening, the gap between ordinary people and Heroic Spirits is still too big. Even a half-baked magician like Kiritsugu Emiya who possesses magic circuits still has a huge gap with Heroic Spirits.

As Lancer gradually became serious, Emiya Kiritsugu's bullets could no longer restrain his body. Lancer seized the opportunity and shot him directly when his time acceleration magic ended and before he could restart it.

"Wow!", Kiritsugu Emiya was hit by a shot from the lancer's spear, and he flew out as if he was hit by a pickup truck, smashing a park bench. Although he immediately turned over with his tenacious spirit and perseverance, the physiological impact still made Kiritsugu Emiya spit out a mouthful of blood.
