"Yeah, that makes sense." Wang Chong was obviously convinced by the system.

"Hehe, then, my host, from now on, just go ahead and harvest the kidneys of those enemies, and make them afraid of you." The system said with a smile.

"System, I have a question."

"Host, please speak~"

"Do you have kidneys?"

"?????"

……

When he returned to the Galan Hall, he happened to see Aozaki Orange making tea, so Wang Chong sat down on the sofa in front of the coffee table to rest without hesitation.

"Is everything resolved?"

"It's solved. Huangye Zonglian will not appear in Guanbuzi City. He will no longer stare at my precious disciple." Wang Chong twisted his neck and said.

"So everything is done, are you ready to leave?" Aozaki Orange placed the brewed tea in front of Wang Chong, picked up a bowl, took a sip, and asked.

"Can't bear to leave me?"

"You think I like this kind of joke?"

"I thought we were already friends. We were even thinking about establishing a long-term cooperative relationship." Wang Chong shrugged, picked up the teacup and took a sip, sighing softly, "Good tea."

"call out--"

"What is this?" Wang Chong caught the black cube thrown by Aozaki Orange and asked curiously.

"It's similar to a phone call, except I have my own unique contact method. It's encrypted communication, I guess." Aozaki Touko said, "Although we're not friends, there's no problem with a long-term partnership. I'm very optimistic about you, Mr. Wang Chong. If you need anything, you're always welcome at the Galan Hall. Of course, just remember to prepare the reward."

"Hmph, how dishonest of you, Ms. Aozaki." Wang Chong then put the black cube into the system space.

"Where are you going to take these two children next?" Aozaki Touko finished her tea, took out a cigarette and lit it again.

"Go back to Fuyuki City." Wang Chong said calmly.

"Holy Grail War?"

"You know all this?" Wang Chong raised his eyebrows and looked at Aozaki Orange with some curiosity.

"I do have some connections in the magic world, after all. The recent news of the Holy Grail War being brought forward has made headlines in the magic world." Aozaki Touko looked Wang Chong up and down, then asked, "So, are you a spectator or a Master?"

"Both," Wang Chong said. After some thought, he asked, "Since you have this information, are there any interesting things happening in the Clock Tower related to the Holy Grail War?"

"Yes, it is rumored that the Heroic Relics prepared by El-Melloi, the Lord of the Mineral Department, for the Holy Grail War were stolen. The relevant personnel are currently investigating." Aozaki Touko said.

Hmm? Isn't the Minerals Division's leader Kenneth—Director Ken? Apparently, Waver stole the King of Conquerors' relic. This happened much earlier than I expected. Apparently, the Holy Grail War's premature start triggered a series of complications. If that's the case, then Waver seems to have already arrived in Fuyuki City. Would you like to meet him someday?

"El-Melloi, the Lord of the Minerals Department?" Wang Chong pondered for a moment and nodded.

"As far as magical talent is concerned, he's considered one of the most talented magicians in the entire Clock Tower. His strength shouldn't be underestimated." Aozaki Touko put out her cigarette and said, "But if they meet someone like you... even a genius in the Clock Tower would probably take a hard fall. I wonder if he'll make it back alive."

"You make me sound like a monster." Wang Chong shook his head. On the other hand, Aozaki Touko's lips curled up slightly when she heard the other person's words. She thought to herself, "If you're not a monster, there's no other monster in the world."

"Then let me take my leave. Maybe in a month, I will bring another business. Sakura, Shiki, it's time to go." As he said that, Wang Chong began to call out Sakura Matou and Shiki Ryougi in the room.

"Then I will be looking forward to your visit." said Aozaki Touko.

……

"The quality of these guys in the Magic Association is really getting worse and worse. They are simply embarrassing everyone." Kenneth snorted coldly as he saw that the criminal had not been found for a long time. Now that he could not recover the holy relic, he could only look for other holy relics.

"And the same thing happened in rural Fuyuki. Even a single magic ritual went awry. It was supposed to start a year later, but now it's been moved up a full eleven months. The entire schedule has been thrown into disarray. It's such a hassle." Kayneth glanced at the pile of documents on his desk and tossed them aside. What about the Tōsaka family? What about the Einzberns? Kayneth didn't even take them seriously.

"Hmph, all these bad things happened because you insisted on participating in that magic competition and running to that remote place. So much trouble has already occurred before you even set off. If you really get there, who knows how much bad luck you will be tainted by." A somewhat harsh female voice sounded from the side.

"Sora..." However, facing the other party's somewhat accusatory tone, Kayneth's cold face softened rarely. He said slowly, "Although it is just a magic competition from the countryside, it is also a rare competition in the eyes of the magic world. Many eyes are watching it."

"Besides, staying in the Clock Tower all the time is too boring and tedious. Just treat it as a vacation." Kayneth stood up and looked at Sora. Although Sora looked away, Kayneth continued, "I hate unexpected events in my plans, but like stepping on a pebble on the roadside, they are inevitable. But a pebble is just a pebble, and these trivial troubles will eventually be crushed by me, Kayneth."

"Hmph." Sora ignored Kenneth's words. Although Sora was Kenneth's fiancée, she had never liked Kenneth. In her eyes, she was just a tool for family marriage.

"A magic competition, just like in the past, victory is just the inevitable result." Seeing that Sora ignored him, Kenneth had no choice but to turn and look out the window, slowly stating the facts he knew.

Chapter 31 I Want to Fight the Holy Grail War Now

A new day, a new beginning. Almost two weeks had passed since Wang Chong returned from Guanbuzi City, and the official start of the Holy Grail War was less than two weeks away. During this time, Wang Chong had essentially lived a routine of teaching Matou Sakura and Ryougi Shiki in the mornings, going shopping and inspecting the situation in the afternoons, and opening champagne in the evenings.

Honestly, Wang Chong felt like a month for the Holy Grail War was too long. He was starting to feel a bit bored. This had been going on for 14 days, and he was practically suffocating himself.

Boring! I just want to fight the damn Holy Grail War!

This thought has been lingering in Wang Chong's mind.

"Teacher... I still don't quite understand this... Teacher?" A timid voice drifted into his ears, and Wang Chong realized that he had been in a daze for too long. Meanwhile, Matou Sakura was asking him questions she didn't understand, but seeing that he hadn't answered, she didn't dare to ask a question. After standing there for a while, she finally mustered the courage to ask Wang Chong a question again.

"All we need here is..." Wang Chong explained the theory of imaginary number magic in his mind. Sakura Komatou nodded as if she understood, and then began to slowly try and practice.

"I don't know what's wrong with Xiaoying. Ever since she came back from Guanbuzi City, she's become much slower at learning imaginary number magic... She was able to pick it up very quickly on the first and second days, but now she seems... dull in every way. System, I'm afraid your learning amplification is the same as Mouyun's trial acceleration. It can only accelerate for a short period of time, one or two times, and then it becomes sluggish and unable to move forward." Wang Chong couldn't help but complain.

"Host, that's an item worth 5000 villain points! It's not some kind of money-sucking toy."

"Then can you explain what's going on with Sakura?"

"Oh, learning is a process of going from the shallow to the deep. Just like, can the math you learned in elementary school be compared with that in junior high school? Can the math you learned in junior high school be compared with that in high school? Can the math you learned in high school be compared with that in advanced mathematics? That's the truth. Host, this imaginary number magic also goes from the shallow to the deep. It gets harder as you go on, and it's normal to learn slower." said the system.

"Okay. Well, I was thinking about whether my Sakura could help me during the Fourth War. Now it seems that I can only train her slowly." Wang Chong said with a sigh.

"Host, don't forget that there is a little baby outside who is practicing the Seven Nights Assassination Technique." The system reminded.

"For Xiaoshi, it's still a little difficult to learn the assassination technique of the Nanaya family. After all, the Nanaya assassination technique itself was created to target the unique superpowers of the Nanaya family. With Ryougi Shiki's current physical fitness, it is still a little insufficient. Although I can use the power of destruction to adjust Xiaoshi's physique, I can't guarantee that doing so will not collide with the one who connects to the root." Wang Chong said.

"Teacher, my training is over." At this time, Ryougi Shiki also walked into the house from outside, wiping the sweat with a towel, and said with a cheerful smile.

"Hmm? Zhi, did Xiaoshi make himself faint again from practicing?" Wang Chong asked.

Wang Chong was already aware of Zhi's existence. Furthermore, the two had very different personalities and different ways of referring to themselves: one referred to himself as "wa ta shi (私)" (here using "I"), the other as "o re (オレ)" (here using "俺"), making it easy to confirm.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time Zhi had appeared. Ever since Ryougi Shiki witnessed Wang Chong's elegant and dazzling Seven Nights Assassination Technique in Guanbuzi City, she had been constantly pestering Wang Chong, wanting to learn the same technique. Wang Chong could only teach her from the very basics. Even so, the burden on Ryougi Shiki was still immense, and she would only stop after each session until she collapsed, her consciousness blurred.

Therefore, every time at this time, Zhi would come out to clean up the mess, carefully adjust and polish the success of the training, summarize and digest it, and then return to the house to report today's learning situation to Wang Chong.

"You should try to persuade her. If she keeps practicing like this, her health will be ruined sooner or later. You have to eat one bite at a time, and we don't expect her to learn it immediately, so why should she practice so hard?" Wang Chong said.

"I can't do anything about her. I know Shi's personality very well. She's very stubborn. I can't persuade her to do anything she decides to do. Teacher, maybe Shi will listen to what you have to say." Liang Yizhi took a sip of water, then smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Then teacher, I'll go take a shower first. Don't come over and peek~"

"You are so small now, who would care about you?" Wang Chong shook his head and said.

"Hehe, I'm not bragging, but Shi has the potential to be a beauty. I know that very well. Hehe, if the teacher really can't help it and sneaks over here, I won't mind. I can help the teacher hide it from Shi."

"Go, go, go." Wang Chong had heard such teasing words countless times. He knew that this was Zhi's character, so he didn't care. But after hearing it, Sakura Komatou frowned slightly, glanced at Ryougi Shiki and Wang Chong from time to time, and then began to stare at her now short body, and then sighed.

……

After the tutorial was complete, Wang Chong checked the system store for the day. Nothing particularly pleased him, but his villain points had risen from 4000 to 4700. These 700 points were accumulated over the past 14 days. Since there weren't many villainous things he could do, and they were all relatively minor, he could only accumulate so many. Most of these points came from Kariya's daily fights against old bugs and from Mapo Priest's daily harassment of Tokito and Kotomine Risei.

"Tsk, I was originally looking for a body-refining method suitable for Xiaoshi, but it turns out that there is no item for Xiaoshi, let alone items that can help me refine my body. I can't even afford some of the things that are refreshed very well. It's really troublesome." Wang Chong closed the system store interface unhappily. It has been 14 consecutive days and he didn't get any good things. Even the lucky discounts were for some weird things. He had no desire to buy anything.

"Master, that little Hassan is here to deliver a letter again." At this time, Steno appeared beside Wang Chong and said.

"Let me see... Last time I asked him to find the home address of the old MacKenzie couple, and it took him so long to send me a message... Well, the location has been confirmed, but I'm not in a rush to meet with this Waver guy. I have other ideas about how to enter the Holy Grail War. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been hiding my power of destruction and my appearance." After thinking for a while, Wang Chong decided not to go looking for them directly for the time being. Of course, if they were lucky enough to meet, that would be another matter.

"Hmm? Tohsaka Tokiomi had his wife and daughter move out of the main residence and into the Zenjo household? Hmm, that's quite interesting. I'd love to go and observe them this afternoon." Wang Chong was quite interested in the future of Tohsaka Rin and a certain Mrs. Tohsaka. Furthermore, on the day of the move, a relic associated with the oldest fat tiger was also delivered to the Tohsaka household. Therefore, Wang Chong decided to visit the Tohsaka household to check on the situation.

……

"Your luggage looks huge."

"Yes, from today on I will be living in the house in Zen City."

At the Tosaka family, little Tosaka Rin was moving her luggage, preparing to leave. Seeing Kotomine Kirei coming down to greet her, little Tosaka Rin also responded to him a little. However, despite her young age, little Tosaka Rin still knew what kind of dangerous thing her father was going to do. Out of concern for her father's safety, little Tosaka Rin looked at Kotomine Kirei and asked, "Kirei, you will stay by your father's side and fight together, right?"

"That's why I became your father's disciple." Kotomine Kirei nodded and said.

Little Toosaka Rin tilted her head slightly, as if she was thinking about something, her eyes revealing a worry that was not suitable for her age. Then, little Toosaka Rin asked again: "Kirei, can I trust you?"

"Hmm?" Faced with this question from Toosaka Rin, Kotomine Kirei was a little surprised.

"Can you promise me that you will keep my father safe until the end?" Little Toosaka Rin stared at Kotomine Kirei, hoping to hear a satisfactory answer from him.

Chapter 32 Mother and Daughter Arrested

"I promise." Kotomine Kirei said.

"Eh? Really?" Hearing the other party's affirmative answer, a hint of joy appeared on Rin Toosaka's face.

"Of course...it's fake, Rin." Kotomine Kirei shook his head seriously, ignoring the slightly stunned expression on little Tōsaka Rin's face. He continued, "If this war were so simple that I could make such a promise, there wouldn't be any need for you and your wife to seek refuge."

The old Kotomine Kirei was somewhat different. The current Kotomine Kirei had learned how to please himself. For example, the words he had just used to tease Rin were something the old Kotomine Kirei would never have said. He would only speak seriously.

"...You...are even more annoying than before." Little Toosaka Rin gritted her teeth and said.

"Rin, if I were you, I wouldn't say such a sincere word in front of others. Not only would it make others doubt the character of your father, who has been educating you, but also..." Kotomine Kirei approached Rin with a somewhat aggressive look, raised his hand, and instantly struck Rin. This startled Rin, who had never expected Kotomine Kirei to attack her. She subconsciously closed her eyes in shock.

However, there was no pain in his head. When he opened his eyes, he found Kotomine Kirei smiling faintly, retracting his hand, and saying, "And if you offend someone, it's easy to learn a lesson. Do you understand? Rin."

"Wuwu...! What's the point of scaring me? Listen carefully Kirei! If you really have the ability, then protect my father! If you are perfunctory and let my father get hurt, I will never forgive you!" Little Toosaka Rin now has the shadow of the future Toosaka Rin in her mind, and shouted loudly.

"Rin, what are you doing? You're making such loud noises?" Aoi Toosaka seemed to have heard the voice of little Toosaka Rin, and she slowly walked out from the next room. After seeing her mother come out, little Toosaka Rin panicked. Her two little hands couldn't stop kneading, and her words became intermittent: "That... this..."

"Rin is very worried about her father, so it's normal for her to be a little emotional. Master's wife, please don't be too harsh on her." Kotomine Kirei said slowly.

"Rin, don't be so rude, do you hear me?" Since Kotomine Kirei did not help little Toosaka Rin to get out of trouble as he originally did, Toosaka Aoi naturally lectured little Toosaka Rin.

"Wow...I got it." Little Toosaka Rin lowered her head, but still glared at Kotomine Kirei.

This feeling of being humiliated made Kotomine Kirei very happy. However, little Toosaka Rin could only carry her luggage out alone, feeling irritated.

"Mr. Kotomine, I'm leaving my husband in your care. Please help him realize his long-cherished wish." As she said this, Tousaka Aoi leaned forward slightly to express her gratitude.

"I will do my best, please rest assured." Kotomine Kirei nodded in agreement.

……

"Is that box in that room the one that contains the snake skin fossil that can summon the oldest Fat Tiger? It's a pity that I can only admire it from afar. I have to say that the security arrangements in the Tosaka family's magic workshop are really dense. I haven't even entered the house, I'm just outside, and I almost triggered their security check. Unfortunately, apart from brute force, I can't find any way to sneak in quietly. I always feel that Hassan was able to sneak into that position in the beginning, maybe the Tosaka family was deliberately putting on a show to weaken some of their defenses. Forget it, let that Fat Tiger come out, so that I can get more villain points."

Wang Chong was now in the driver's seat. He had already quietly knocked the original driver unconscious and thrown away. The other bodyguards outside had also long been charmed by his own Heroic Spirit, Steno, and were completely unaware of what had just happened, seemingly being manipulated.

When Wang Chong first came here, he originally wanted to steal the snake skin, but the Tohsaka family was too defensive and he had to demolish it by force. Therefore, Wang Chong had to give up for the time being and turned his attention to the Tohsaka mother and daughter.

The defenseless Tōsaka Aoi and Tōsaka Rin got into what they thought was a safe car and were taken away by Wang Chong. Only the Hassans saw this scene, but unfortunately, Kotomine Kirei had already warned them not to embarrass Mr. Dio.

"Mom...will Dad win?" Little Toosaka Rin asked worriedly, leaning on her mother Toosaka Aoi.

"You will win." This is not only Toosaka Aoi's comfort to her daughter, but also the result she expects.

"It's so touching that Toosaka Tokiomi has such a good daughter and a good wife. It's a pity that he couldn't enjoy them." But suddenly, a voice came into Toosaka Aoi's ears.

"Huh?" Suddenly, a creepy feeling crept into Toosaka Aoi's heart. At this moment, Toosaka Aoi suddenly noticed that the entire car was filled with black mist.

"Mom... I'm so sleepy..." A soft voice was heard, and Aoi Toosaka was surprised to find that the little Rin Toosaka lying in her arms had been covered by the strange black mist, and little Rin Toosaka had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Rin! Rin, wake up! What the hell is this? Toki... Toki!" Fear and terror filled Aoi's heart, and little Rin's condition made her completely panic. She tried to drive away the black mist covering her daughter, but it was impossible. She even started shouting her husband's name, but unfortunately her voice was destined not to reach Tokiomi.

"Madam, if I were you, you'd better choose to be quiet, otherwise I can't guarantee what these little cuties will do." As soon as the words fell, several ghosts appeared in the surrounding black fog, and they let out tearing roars. Toosaka Aoi had never seen such a scene before, and she was immediately frightened and dared not say a word.

"That's right, Mrs. Tohsaka. If you cooperate well, you can suffer less." Wang Chong's voice sounded faintly.

"In the direction of the driver... Who are you and what do you want to do? How is Rin?" Toosaka Aoi asked in a trembling voice.

"Who I am is unimportant. As for that little girl, don't worry. I didn't do anything to her. I just let her sleep soundly. After all, this is a topic for adults, so there are some things she's better off not knowing." Wang Chong said, "As for what I want to do, it's actually very simple. I hope Tōsaka Tokiomi can withdraw from this Holy Grail War."

"! Are you another Master!?" Toosaka Aoi never expected that before the Holy Grail War even began, an enemy Master would have already captured her and her daughter. If she used this to threaten Tokitoki, Tokitoki would definitely... Thinking of this, Toosaka Aoi sternly said, "Don't even think about threatening Tokitoki with me, otherwise..."

"Go to hell? Fine, then. I think this little adorable daughter is quite pretty. You shouldn't mind what I do with her, right? After all, the dead have no business caring about the living."

Hearing this, Tōsaka Aoi, who had finally mustered up the courage, suddenly felt as if her weakness had been caught, and she deflated. If she were alone, she would choose to die without hesitation, absolutely not burdening her husband, Tōsaka Tokiomi. But now, besides herself, Rin was also here, so she was doomed to die.

"Also, don't think that you won't be a burden to your husband if you die. First of all, your disappearance is bound to divert your husband's energy and prevent him from fully devoting himself to the competition. Secondly, what if I bring him the news of your death at the critical moment of the battle of heroes, or even let him see it with his own eyes? You say, under such a mental shock, and then someone shot him - what do you think your husband will do?"

"You...you devil!" Toosaka Aoi said tremblingly.

"Thank you for the compliment." Wang Chong nodded, then continued, "Alright, Madam Tōsaka, to tell you the truth, I actually asked Tōsaka Tokiomi to withdraw from this Holy Grail War for his own good. He is destined not to be the winner of this Holy Grail War, and in the end, it will only be a pity that one of you will become a widow, and the other will lose your father at a young age. How terrible."

"..." Toosaka Aoi was speechless.

"What? You don't believe it? From the moment you and your daughter were captured, it was enough to prove that Tōsaka Tokiomi didn't have the ability to control the situation of the Holy Grail War. Since he couldn't control the entire situation, do you think he still had a chance of winning?" Wang Chong said.

"It's impossible for me to persuade my husband. Even if my mother and I are caught, he will never give up. What do you want in exchange for letting us go?" Toosaka Aoi said bitterly.
