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

"It's over, it's over, they're really here to arrest me..."

Misako's heart was pounding. She was a little scared, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity to watch the fun.

Will there be a fight?

Ashaji walked into the living room, her eyes swept across and finally landed on Xiuyuan.

The blonde woman next to her pushed up her glasses and also looked at the monk in front of her quietly.

"Master Xiuyuan, this is Kosaka Shizukyu, my right-hand man and your colleague in the future."

Asha ji introduced.

Kosaka Shizuka bowed slightly:

"Master Xiuyuan, nice to meet you. I'm Kosaka Shizukyu. Please give me your guidance."

Her voice was very gentle.

Xiuyuan just nodded slightly as a response.

Mitsuko brought tea, and then, following Xiuyuan's instructions, led the five little girls out.

After a night's rest and a simple wash, the girls were still timid, but they were much better than last night and no longer looked frightened and helpless.

"I brought it out from an underground black market last night."

Xiu Yuan pointed at the girls, his tone flat.

"Leave it to you. See if you can find their families."

Ashaji looked at the children who had obviously been abused, with a flash of pity and anger in her eyes. She turned to Xiuyuan:

"Master, you're right! That kind of place that harbors filth and dirt should have been completely cleared out long ago! We've always wanted to do it, but..."

She didn't say anything else, the constraints were self-evident.

"But, Master Xiuyuan."

Kosaka Shizuka took over the conversation. Her tone was still calm, but with a hint of helplessness.

"Although your action is just, it has caused us some procedural troubles. We have received a complaint."

Xiu Yuan raised his eyebrows, seeming to find it a little funny:

"Complaint? What are you complaining about? Was the killing method not gentle enough, or was the ashes spread too cleanly?"

The corner of Kousaka Shizuru's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued:

"This complaint alleges that you abused your supernatural powers, wantonly slaughtered people, and destroyed... the facilities of the 'private club.' The person making the complaint is a member of the House of Representatives, Nobuo Tanaka."

"Nobuo Tanaka?"

Xiuyuan repeated the name, as if to confirm the pronunciation.

"Yes." Kousaka Shizuru nodded.

"He's one of the main investors and protectors of that underground black market. Even though we all know what it is, and his complaint is full of false claims, regulations require us to accept and investigate it. This puts us in a very passive position."

Her tone revealed her distaste for these restrictive rules. Otherwise, she wouldn't have so easily revealed the complainant's name, clearly leaking the information to Xiu Yuan.

Ashaji added:

"The purpose of our existence as Manin is to eliminate this darkness, but many times, these politicians and rules become the biggest obstacles. We are grateful for the master's thundering measures, but subsequent troubles do exist."

Xiu Yuan's face showed no emotion, he just asked calmly:

"So, what are you going to do? Arrest me and hand me over to that councilman?"

“Of course not!”

Asha ji immediately denies it.

"How could we possibly do that? Master, we just need your cooperation with the subsequent investigation process. We will do our best to minimize the impact."

"It stands to reason that the complainant's information should be kept confidential."

Kosaka Shizuka looked at Xiu Yuan.

"But Principal Ashaji believes you are trustworthy."

Ashaji said directly:

"Yes, it's Tanaka Nobuo. Master, we will take care of this person, you don't have to worry about it."

Although she said this, she also knew that the master in front of her was not someone who was afraid of trouble.

"understood."

Xiuyuan remained silent, seemingly not caring much about the complaint.

He changed the subject. "I'll leave the person to you. Please make sure he's properly taken care of. Also,"

He gestured to the backpack on the table.

"Some energy crystals are the byproducts of last night. Please deal with them."

Kosaka Shizukuri took a step forward, took the backpack, opened it and examined the crystal inside. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he returned to his professionalism.

"Okay, Master Xiuyuan, we will give it to you at the market price."

Afterwards, Asha and Kousaka Shizukuri left the villa with the five frightened little girls.

Before leaving, at the entrance, two Taimanin of extraordinary status bowed deeply to Xiuyuan who was standing at the door, with a respectful attitude and expressed their gratitude.

This scene happened to be seen clearly by Misako Amamiya who was hiding behind her door and only dared to peek with one eye.

The rag in her hand fell to the ground with a "pa" sound, her eyes widened, and her jaw almost dislocated.

Arrests?

How could this be an arrest? It was clearly a subordinate reporting to his superior, even with a hint of... gratitude?

Misako's mind was completely confused.

That monk brought back five children covered in blood last night, and today the leader of the Taimanin came to his house in person, but instead of being handcuffed and taken away, he bowed and thanked him?

Could it be that... those children were actually asked by the Taimanin to be saved by him?

The more she thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the only way to explain the strange scene before her.

Misako picked up the rag and quickly retracted her head, her heart still pounding.

This neighbor is too mysterious and too scary... It's better not to ask too much about him.

The black car drove smoothly out of the villa area.

In the driver's seat, Takasaka Shizuka was driving the car attentively. He glanced at the children in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and then glanced at Ashaji who was staring out the window in a daze.

"headmaster,"

Kousaka Shizuru spoke softly, his voice gentle and calm.

"This Master Xiuyuan... is truly a special person."

Ashaji said "hmm", her eyes still fixed on the passing scenery outside the window.

"I've handled many cases involving supernatural powers,"

Kousaka Shizukyu continued, his tone tinged with emotion.

"Many people become mentally unbalanced after gaining power, becoming indifferent to life and viewing ordinary people as ants. It's rare to find someone like Master Xiuyuan who would take the initiative to rescue these children from such a place." She pushed her glasses.

"Although the means were... a bit drastic, the result was good."

Ashaji finally withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Jingliu, with a complicated expression on her face. There was helplessness towards Xiuyuan's style of doing things, but also a subtle recognition, and even a bit of... gloating?

"Gentle?" Ashaji repeated the word, then shook her head slightly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, "I don't think 'gentle' can be used to describe him.

Last night, he completely turned Tanaka Nobuo's place upside down, killing and scattering ashes, so cleanly and efficiently that it gave the Metropolitan Police Department and the Special Operations Department a headache."

She paused, her tone somewhat teasing:

"However, when I heard Tanaka Nobuo's furious complaint, accusing Master Xiuyuan of 'indiscriminate killing of innocent people' and 'disregard for life,' I almost couldn't help but laugh. It wouldn't be bad to let him have a taste of being crushed by 'unreasonable' power."

Upon hearing this, Kousaka Shizuka couldn't help but smile:

"Indeed, Councillor Tanaka probably never dreamed that the rules and power he used to oppress others would one day backfire on him in this way."

"Yeah," Ashaji leaned back in her chair and looked at the children in the back seat who looked confused but with a glimmer of hope.

"No matter what happened, at least these children were saved. We will handle the subsequent troubles. However... I'm afraid this Master Xiuyuan is not an easy person to deal with."

She thought of Xiuyuan's calm eyes and felt that Tanaka Nobuo's troubles might have just begun.

Chapter 78: The mighty heavenly dragon and the great magic spell!

Deep within the Chaos Arena, isolated from the savage roars and clanging of metal from the arena below, only the dim light outlined the luxurious outlines.

Vampire Black leaned against the high-backed throne, his scarlet eyes half closed, and he looked down nonchalantly at the endless bloody fight below.

The air was filled with the strange smell of stale blood mixed with expensive spices.

Long appeared silently, like a ghost blending into the shadows.

She held a little girl who was still trembling slightly in her hand and skillfully cut the girl's carotid artery.

The bright red blood flowed into the crystal goblet that had been prepared long ago, blending with the deep red liquid and creating ripples.

The girl's face turned visibly pale.

Long held the wine glass, walked respectfully to Blake and bowed slightly.

"Master Black, please enjoy."

Blake took the glass, shook it gently, and admired the beauty of the blood slowly swirling in the wine.

He leaned close to the cup and sniffed it, a hint of intoxication on his face, then took a small sip.

"Hmm... This vintage is pretty good. It has just the right amount of fear, without being tainted by excessive despair."

He put down his wine glass and wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk handkerchief, as if he was tasting a rare wine.

"Unfortunately, there have been some unpleasant little things recently."

He looked at Long, his tone as calm as if he was talking about the weather:

"My two useless subordinates were dealt with in Tokyo. It is said that the perpetrator was a monk."

Long's hand holding the cup paused almost imperceptibly, and a figure wearing a moon-white monk robe and with a stern face flashed through his mind.

The monk who acts outside the rules.

"A monk?"

Blake seemed to find this somewhat funny.

"I heard he burned the entire place to the ground, leaving not even a ash. Do you know anything about this person?"

Long lowered his eyes, hiding the complex emotions within, and said calmly:

"I've heard a little bit about him. His Dharma name is Xiu Yuan. He's ruthless and unrestrained. He seems to be proficient in some powerful purifying flame. He just appeared in Tokyo not long ago and has had contact with Taimanin."

She only reported objective facts without any personal judgment.

"Xiu Yuan..."

Blake repeated the name playfully, tapping his fingertips lightly on the armrest.

"Purifying flame? Interesting. These days have been so boring. Those so-called strong ones are either pathetically stupid or ridiculously weak."

A hint of excitement flashed in his scarlet eyes, like a child who had found a new toy.

"This monk might bring me some fun."

Blake looked at Long, a cruel smile on his face:

"Oboro, go give him some trouble, put some pressure on him. Don't kill him, that would be a shame. I need a decent opponent to entertain him and help him mature quickly."

Cultivate an opponent? Long's heart moved slightly.

Lord Black's thoughts were always so... unpredictable. She had no fondness for the monk Xiuyuan, and might even be said to be somewhat wary of him, but she couldn't question Lord Black's orders.

"As you command, Lord Black."

Long bowed again, and his figure slowly disappeared into the shadows, leaving behind only the half-full glass of blood wine and the thoughtful gaze of the vampire on the platform.
