The man is a monk in the inside, and he starts by giving his wife a crown.

"There was a fire at the Takayanagi family's old house last night, causing quite a stir. The Metropolitan Police Department was in a state of panic. They found out that you had been there last night and had taken away several female members of the Takayanagi family?"

There was no questioning in Ashaji's tone, but more of a routine confirmation. It was obvious that she had some understanding of Xiuyuan's style of doing things.

"Ah."

Xiuyuan responded, his words concise and to the point.

"Master Gao Liu is a demon."

No need for further explanation, these few words are enough.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, as if digesting the information, and then Ashaji's decisive voice came: "I understand. Master, thank you for your hard work."

This is the reputation and credibility that Xiuyuan has accumulated today.

If he says it is a demon, then it is a demon, and there will be no doubt within the Demon Ninja Organization.

　"Nine Forty-Seven" "I'll handle the follow-up matters."

Ashaji's voice carried a hint of unquestionable authority:

"I'll tell the Metropolitan Police Department to stop their investigation. Master, have a good rest. Don't worry about these mundane matters."

"Thank you." Xiu Yuan replied indifferently.

"It's my job." After saying that, Ashaji hung up the phone neatly.

On the other side, at the Taimanin headquarters.

Ashaji put down her phone and rubbed her brow. It was always difficult to deal with a demon when a family like the Gao Liu family, who had been entrenched in a place for hundreds of years, was involved.

She immediately issued an order through the internal communication system:

"Inform the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Safety Division's Special Investigation Section: The Takayanagi residence incident has been classified as a 'Specular Disaster - Demonic Appearance'. The file has been sealed and further investigation is prohibited.

Additionally, immediately send personnel to conduct secret inspections on all registered members of the Gaoliu family's side branches to check for demonic bloodline contamination or the presence of parasites. A thorough investigation is essential."

As soon as the order was issued, the entire Taimanin's intelligence and operations department immediately began to operate efficiently.

As for how many women Master Xiuyuan took away? There was no need to ask about such trivial matters.

With the status and strength of a master, he naturally has his reasons for doing what he wants to do.

Ashaji even felt that the fact that the women were taken away by the Master might be their good fortune. She was more concerned about the possible consequences of thoroughly cleaning up the Gao Liu family's mess, and the origins of the demon killed by Master Xiuyuan, and how long it had lasted.

This requires a lot of intelligence analysis and follow-up work.

After breakfast, Xiuyuan accompanied Mitsuko and Mrs. Chengjiang to Takayanagi Company to deal with Takayanagi Ichiro's funeral.

Although Ashaji had given a heads-up, as a "family member", it was still necessary for her to show up and take over subsequent matters in a natural way.

Mitsuko changed into a plain black dress. She looked haggard and her eyes were slightly red, but when she looked at Xiuyuan, her eyes were full of complete dependence.

Mrs. Chengjiang was also wearing a decent black suit. She followed Xiuyuan half a step behind him with her head lowered and her posture respectful. She didn't look like the mistress of the Gaoliu family at all. The mark of Acala on her back was faintly hot through her clothes.

Just as the three of them walked out of the villa gate and were about to get into the black car parked at the door, the door of the villa next door also opened.

A girl with dazzling blonde hair and wearing the uniform of a nearby high school came bounding out, holding a professional-looking camera.

"Good morning!" When the girl saw Xiu Yuan, her eyes lit up and she ran over in a few steps with undisguised curiosity and enthusiasm on her face.

"My name is Saeki Kaori, and I'm your neighbor! Please give me your guidance!"

As she spoke, she bowed with full energy.

Xiuyuan stopped and looked at her.

Saeki Kaori? The name brought back memories of a character from the Dark Bible. However, judging by her current appearance, the plot probably hadn't even begun yet.

He had previously rescued Ai Li from Kitami Reika's subordinates.

I don't know what a mess the plot line is now.

These thoughts flashed through Xiu Yuan's mind, and he replied calmly:

"Hello."

Saeki Kaori was not affected by his calmness at all. Instead, she became even more excited, staring intently at Xiuyuan's monk robes:

"Wow! Are you a monk? You look so young! Are you one of those powerful Buddhist masters? The kind who can chant 'Mani Mani Hum' and all demons and monsters will turn to dust?"

As she spoke, she made strange gestures and her eyes sparkled with excitement. It was obvious that she had an unusual passion for the supernatural.

Mitsuko and Mrs. Chengjiang felt a little uncomfortable when they saw that the girl was so "lively" and silently leaned closer behind Xiuyuan.

They had just experienced real demons and Buddhist teachings, and felt a subtle sense of absurdity about the "master" mentioned by the girl.

"I am just an ordinary monk."

Xiu Yuan remained calm and his tone was level.

"I only know some common Buddhist teachings to calm my mind."

"Ordinary?" Saeki Kaori tilted her head, obviously not quite believing it.

Her gaze swept over Chengjiang and Mitsuko, who were following Xiuyuan closely with obviously unnatural expressions, then looked at Xiuyuan's incredibly handsome yet indifferent and distant face, and finally fell on Xiuyuan's calm eyes.

Her intuition told her that the monk before her was definitely not ordinary. Furthermore, why was he accompanied by two beautiful women with very different temperaments, yet both seemed somewhat... submissive? This combination seemed strange no matter how she looked at it.

"Oh, I see..." Kaori Saeki touched her chin, shook the camera hanging in front of her chest, and rolled her eyes.

"Then Master, when you have time, can you talk to me about the common Buddhist teachings? I'm very interested in this!"

Xiuyuan didn't say anything else, just opened the car door and got in.

Mitsuko quickly opened the back door for Mrs. Chengjiang, and after Mrs. Chengjiang sat firmly, she walked around to the other side and got in the car. Her movements were skillful and natural, as if she had been used to it for a long time.

The black car slowly drove away.

Kaori Saeki stood there, watching the rear of the car driving away. The excitement on her face slowly subsided, replaced by a strong desire to explore.

"An ordinary monk?"

She muttered something, raised her camera and took a picture in the direction the car left.

"I don't believe it."

She felt as if she had discovered some interesting secret.

The car quickly arrived at the Takayanagi Company headquarters.

The atmosphere at the ground floor entrance of the building was depressing. Employees gathered in groups of three or four and talked in low voices, their faces filled with fear and anxiety.

The tragedy that occurred on the top floor last night and the subsequent riot have spread widely within the company, and all kinds of speculation are rampant.

The black car stopped at the door and Xiuyuan got out first.

He was dressed in a simple monk's robe and his face was calm, as if he had just come to attend an ordinary religious ceremony.

As soon as he appeared, the noisy discussions around him subsided unconsciously. Many eyes, filled with suspicion, fear, and a hint of inexplicable expectation, turned to this suddenly appearing young monk...

Xiuyuan ignored the gazes, but just clasped his hands together and recited scriptures in a low voice.

The sound was not loud, but strangely clear, like a flowing spring, caressing the hearts of everyone who heard it.

The panic and restlessness that had originally filled the hall slowly dissipated in this peaceful incantation. The tense nerves of many employees relaxed, and their eyes looking at Xiu Yuan became more peaceful.

Mrs. Chengjiang and Mitsuko got off the car later.

Chengjiang followed Xiuyuan with his head lowered and his back straight, revealing a sense of complete obedience, as if he were Xiuyuan's shadow.

Mitsuko looked haggard, but she was trying hard to cheer herself up. She glanced at the employees with different expressions, took a deep breath, and tried to maintain the demeanor of the hostess of the Takayanagi family, but her body still unconsciously moved a little closer to Xiuyuan.

Several uniformed police officers were guarding the elevator entrance and setting up a yellow cordon.

Seeing Xiu Yuan and his group, the leading police officer stepped forward, but seemed to have received some instructions in advance. He simply saluted and did not ask too many questions, then stepped aside to make way.

The elevator goes directly to the top floor where the president's office is located.

A faint smell of burning and a faint hint of sandalwood lingered in the air. At the end of the corridor, the office door was also cordoned off, and several forensic experts were talking in low voices.

When they saw Mitsuko and Mrs. Sumie, they stopped working and reported the situation on the scene with serious expressions.

Mitsuko just nodded numbly, but her eyes involuntarily drifted towards the interior of the office.

Xiuyuan walked into the office.

The room was in a mess, with expensive desks and chairs partially burned, and documents and broken glass scattered on the floor.

The most shocking thing was the charred and twisted remains of a human figure lying on the large leather seat. It was Takayanagi Ichirō.

Madam Chengjiang stood at the door and glanced at the charred wreckage. Her eyes did not waver at all, as if she was looking at an insignificant object.

To her, Ichiro Takayanagi is just a stepson, and the son of that demon, so his relationship with her is basically like that of a stranger.

Mitsuko walked closer and looked at her husband's remains, her stomach churning.

There was no sadness, just a complex mixture of disgust and relief.

She thought of the disgusting truth about the Takayanagi family and felt that the charred corpse in front of her was a huge irony to her past life.

She turned her face away and stopped looking.

"Arrange the funeral as soon as possible." Mitsuko's voice was dry, but it carried an unquestionable determination.

"Notify all directors and heads of relevant departments to hold a meeting this afternoon."

She looked at the secretary who had been waiting beside her and spoke faster:

"Start taking inventory of all the company's assets and accounts immediately. I want a very detailed report."

After experiencing the upheaval of last night and the shock of the moment, she quickly calmed down.

Sadness and fear were useless, she had to grab everything she could now.

The Gao Liu Company was the only thing she could rely on at the moment. She looked at Xiu Yuan, who stood quietly beside her, like a stabilizing force, and felt a little relieved.

With the master around, she felt more confident.

Xiu Yuan looked at everything in front of him, looked at the two women's completely different reactions, and then looked at the wreckage purified by the Buddha's flame, with no ripples in his heart.

Cause and effect were determined, the dust had settled. He simply calmly chanted the mantra for rebirth once more, to liberate this body and, incidentally... purify the "feng shui" of this place.

As for the company's assets? Of course, the more the better, just enough to support this poor monk's practice.

Well, immeasurable merit.

Chapter 62: Obtaining the blessed land, the strongest vampire Black?

The lawyers and financial advisors of Takayanagi Company were like well-trained worker ants, placing documents in front of Mrs. Chengjiang and Mitsuko.

Their efficiency was amazing. In just half a day, they had preliminary results in the liquidation of the assets of this huge family.

"Madam, according to preliminary calculations, the company's current liquid funds are approximately 2 billion yen."

The leading lawyer pushed his glasses and spoke in a formal tone, but he couldn't hide his awe for numbers.

"In terms of real estate, including the headquarters building, we own six properties, all located in prime locations. We hold controlling or equity stakes in four companies, spanning various sectors including real estate, logistics, and manufacturing. Based on a comprehensive assessment, Takayanagi's total assets are conservatively estimated to be over 10 billion yen."

Mrs. Chengjiang sat upright on the sofa, holding a cup of warm black tea in her hand, her fingertips slightly white.

Ten billion yen? The figure floated before her eyes like a giant bubble, unreal and unreal. She had been Takayanagi Tomizō's wife, the nominal mistress, but she had never truly touched the core wealth of the family.

Now, this huge fortune was actually placed in front of her.

The mark of Acala on her back seemed to grow warmer, reminding her of her current identity and destination.

Mitsuko sat beside her, her face still a little pale.

She looked at the cold documents and listened to the lawyer's calm report, and she just felt it was absurd.

She was once the wife of Ichiro Takayanagi, a wealthy daughter-in-law who seemed glamorous but was actually just a decoration.

When she heard the news of her husband's death, apart from the initial shock, she felt more of a sense of relief.

Now, as a widow, she is actually qualified to inherit this huge inheritance?

She subconsciously looked at Chengjiang, her nominal mother-in-law, a woman of about the same age as herself, and her eyes were full of complexity.

The lawyer continued:

"Mrs. Chengjiang, as the widow of Mr. Takayanagi Tomizo, and Mrs. Mitsuko, as the widow of Mr. Takayanagi Ichiro, you two will jointly inherit 90% of the shares and related assets of Takayanagi Company."

Ninety percent!

The proportions gave both women a slight jolt. Chengjiang put down her teacup, while Mitsuko involuntarily clenched her hands.
