The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

When we passed by the City Hall, the entrance was crowded with people marching in protest.

Although some staff members wanted to persuade them to go back, their superiors and colleagues might be man-eating monsters, and the top management seemed to be deliberately ignoring the enormous pressure brought by these monsters. They could not be appeased by a few words without any actual guarantee such as "we will definitely handle it well" or "please go back and wait for notification".

After all, for the people below, the government's credibility had already collapsed when it was revealed online that the current prime minister and Tsukiyama Kan's mother were classmates, and the Tsukiyama family just happened to confirm their ghoul identity...

emmm...

Of course, it is true to say so, but unless those who are protesting in the streets really intend to overturn the tables and rebel, no matter how passionate they appear here, it will be of no avail.

After all, they were not the ones who really decided the direction of things from the beginning.

They are just bargaining chips at best.

Chapter 74: Turbulence and Undercurrents

In the imposing office of the director of the CCG General Administration, two middle-aged men with extraordinary demeanors sat facing each other.

Needless to say, the person sitting in the main seat is Kazuo Yoshitoki, the director of CCG.

Another person who is also unwilling to give up his status is the current Prime Minister of Japan, Wakayama.

Both of them would be surrounded by swarms of reporters whenever they go out.

However, although they are gathered together at this moment, their mentalities are completely opposite.

He Xiuji was still calm and steady, but Prime Minister Wakayama, who was sitting opposite him, was vaguely anxious.

It can be said that as arrogant as he was when he sent his assistant to make the call a few days ago, he is as embarrassed now.

Things change over time, and this is exactly what the current situation is like.

"Director He Xiu, if possible, I hope you can seriously reconsider what we discussed before."

Be patient and use kind words to try to change the other person's mind.

With a kind smile on his face, He Xiuji nodded and said, "Please rest assured about this, Prime Minister, CCG will certainly live up to everyone's expectations and bring all the evildoers to justice..."

A very correct and official answer.

If the group of citizens who were actually parading outside heard this, it is not impossible that they would immediately bow down and join CCG.

But this was not the answer he wanted.

Prime Minister Wakayama clenched his fists. Compared to the high-sounding nonsense like bringing the criminals to justice, he hoped that this matter would end here.

Political enemies

This is the relationship between the two people and the forces they represent.

Compared to the Shu family who are absolutely ruthless in their killing of ghouls, Prime Minister Wakayama and his related family hold a relatively gentle attitude towards ghouls.

Well, of course, as to how much of it is related to Yueshan Guanmu, that is a matter of opinion.

Anyway, the political donations that the Yueshan family makes to the Wakayama faction every year are not a small amount.

It's ironic, right?

One is a ghoul, but he kills all other ghouls; the other is a human, but he is lenient to ghouls...

Really, it's all business.

However, with Wakayama becoming the prime minister, his business is obviously going to expand...but with the arrest of Yueshan Kanmu, before he can expand and become stronger, he may have to think about how to avoid bankruptcy.

"He Xiu, do you really know what you are doing? If CCG really wants to get to the bottom of this, then the whole of Japan will be doomed!"

"But it's also possible to be reborn, isn't it?"

Faced with Prime Minister Wakayama's relentless pressure, Kazuo Yoshitoki did not give in.

"And saying that it's the entire Japan is a bit too much. At most, only those maggots who accepted bribes from the Tsukiyama family will fall into hell, right?"

"......."

Yes, but the problem is that these “maggots” are basically from his Ruoshan faction!

There is no doubt that if CCG really chooses to investigate thoroughly, then this series of his will not only be stripped naked, but can also be said to be running naked on the field.

He would also be nailed to the pillar of shame for the crime of communicating with ghouls and become the prime minister with the shortest tenure in history.

As for the turmoil in the political and business circles that would be caused afterwards, not to mention it. The entire country might even enter a wartime state... But it would also allow He Xiujia to completely reach the pinnacle and become the uncrowned king of the entire country.

Frankly speaking, if the same choice was placed in front of him, he would definitely not let the other party go just for a few empty words.

Take down all the other party's men and replace them with your own people. Wouldn't it be great to be able to call the shots?

But unfortunately, he is now in someone else's hands, so he can only humbly ask others to show mercy.

But obviously.

Without sufficient benefits, it would be impossible to stop with Xiu Jishi.

After thinking for a long time, Ruoshan gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said with difficulty:

"...I will submit my resignation by the end of this month at the latest, and no one on my side will participate in the election."

"Well, that sounds good. Please continue."

"If you need anything, I will fully cooperate with you. Also, I have evidence of the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Foreign Affairs taking bribes. If you want, I can give it all to you."

To be honest, Xiu Jishi was really tempted by this condition.

Compared to the fruits of victory that require a fight, or even a fight that may end in mutual destruction, this method of voluntary exchange by the other party may yield less, but it is safer and less troublesome.

And there is no need to worry about any major shocks that would leave them with nothing but a mess to take over.

Stability is very important to the Hexiu family.

"Thank you very much for your understanding, Prime Minister, but I have one last question for the CCG."

He Xiuji stretched out a hand and pointed out the window.

"——How to explain to the angry people outside."

".....What do you want to do?"

"I personally think that although the Prime Minister is misunderstood by the world, what he says should still be believable."

"you......!"

calm! calm!

He pinched his thigh hard, repeatedly told himself to calm down, and finally managed to keep his sanity.

He understood what He Xiu Jishi meant. It was nothing more than asking him to personally select a few scapegoats, but he didn't want to take responsibility, so he was asked to be the bad guy.

"...I will send you a list later. Don't touch the people on it, and do whatever you want with the others!"

"can."

"But there is a condition!"

"To be honest, I'm afraid you are not in a position to negotiate terms in your current position... But if it's not excessive, we are not unkind."

"Guan Mu..." A few traces of hesitation and nostalgia flashed across his face, but finally turned into ruthlessness.

"You must ensure that Yueshan Guanmu is secretly executed after I resign!"

After saying the last few words with gritted teeth, he seemed to lose all the strength in his body.

It wasn't that he hated Yueshan Guanmu because of this incident. If possible, he also wanted this good friend to live.

But the other party knows too much, and keeping him is always a hidden danger if we can't rescue him.

Moreover, if the handle is always held by someone else, he and his descendants will never be able to rise again in the future.

I apologized to the other person deep in my heart, and said, Mother, you should understand me, right?

........

After watching Prime Minister Ruoshan leave, He Xiuji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, he is a veteran who has been in the political arena for many years. His level of difficulty is not comparable to that of the stubborn investigators under him.

I stood up and walked to the window, looking down at the scenery below.

In this incident, he had also considered using the power of "V".

But finally gave up.

It’s not that he wants to make things more difficult for himself, it’s just that the V organization’s way of killing and killing is really not applicable in politics.

It's okay once or twice occasionally, but when the number of people killed increases, who wouldn't guess that there's something wrong between you and Xiu?

"Ghouls, humans... and Amazon."

Ghouls cannot be stronger than humans, and humans cannot exterminate all ghouls.

Only by maintaining such a balance can Hexiu obtain the greatest benefit.

But now, into this originally perfectly balanced system, an existence that does not belong to either party has been mixed in since some time.

This may be an opportunity for He Xiu to take a step further, but it is also a risk.

.......

Just when He Xiuji was in his office thinking about how to take over the political resources obtained from Ruoshan as quickly as possible.

Prime Minister Ruoran, who was very angry and had no place to vent, also walked out of the CCG headquarters building.

Fortunately, he came out in the dead of night, otherwise if people saw him like this, there would be some strange rumors.

Just when he got into the car, closed the door and prepared to ask the driver to take him home, he found that his driver had been replaced at some point, and there was an extra person in the passenger seat.

He was a young man who looked harmless.

"Hi, Prime Minister. Nice to meet you. To be honest, I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but I never had the chance. Could you please sign an autograph for me?"

"Who are you?" He frowned and looked at the lively young man dressed as a driver.

"Eh? This, my name is Furuta Nifuku, I'm an investigator of CCG, and the one next to me is my good friend A. Well, we definitely don't have any bad intentions, and the driver just fell asleep in the trunk~"

"......"

No, when you say that I think there is something wrong with you.

However, compared to the talkative and utterly unfocused Jiuduo Erfu, the unidentified man with a hood next to him was surprisingly quiet.

"So what is your purpose? If you are from CCG, then I have already discussed it with your director."

"People who need reasons to act are rubbish. People should just follow their heart... I'm so shy. I can't help myself. I'm not saying anything bad about you, Prime Minister~"

He scratched his head, seeming quite embarrassed.

"Anyway, I'm here to report something to the Prime Minister because I found something incredible."

"Something serious?"

"Yeah, it's about the He Xiu family."

Chapter 75 Why is it you again?

Prime Minister Wakayama frowned. Even though he did not believe the man in front of him, he seemed to have little choice now.

And if it involves matters related to the Xiu family, then it wouldn't hurt to listen to it. Perhaps you will gain something different.

A strange curve appeared on Furuta Jifu's face.

There is no doubt that the one who laughs last will be the clown.

.......

Leisure time... Such beautiful days did not come.

For Lin Qiao, after resolving the Yueshan family's issues, his life didn't change much...except that it became busier.

During the day, I have to sit in front of the computer and listen to online courses to force myself to learn various physics knowledge.

In the afternoon, he would practice with Sifang Lianshi whenever he had time, and occasionally, he would add the combination of Gujian Yuaner and Rujian Xuan.
