The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Yes, that makes sense.

But this guy came all the way here just to mess with their mentality, right?

As for whether Lin Qiao came here specifically to mess with their mentality...

Dong Xiang thought about it with her brain that had failed the monthly exam so badly, and felt that it was possible.

At least given someone's personality, the possibility is not zero.

As she was thinking this, someone patted her head from behind, and her hair was messed up by Lin Qiao: "Stop imagining, come back to your senses quickly, where is the store manager? I'm here for serious business this time."

Chapter 82 The Contradiction between the New and the Old

As for whether Lin Qiao came here specifically to mess with their mentality...

Dong Xiang thought about it with her brain that had failed the monthly exam so badly, and felt that it was possible.

At least given someone's personality, the possibility is not zero.

As she was thinking this, someone patted her head from behind, and her hair was messed up by Lin Qiao: "Stop imagining, come back to your senses quickly, where is the store manager? I'm here for serious business this time."

"The store manager and Mr. Sifang are going to investigate the bronze tree... Get your claws out of my way!"

He opened Lin Qiao's hand with a snap, straightened his hair which looked like a bird's nest, and moved away from her.

"If there's anything, we can pass it on for you."

"What a coincidence. What I want to talk about is also related to the bronze tree."

After finishing the coffee in the cup in one gulp, Lin Qiao spoke in a rare serious tone.

"For some reason, the bronze tree is looking for Kamishiro Rize... You should know about this, right?"

Furuma Madoka frowned and nodded: "I've heard of it, but didn't Rize disappear a long time ago because of the steel bar falling incident?"

And Kaneki became a ghoul because of that incident...it's been so long, and you haven't given up yet?

I don’t know whether to say that he is still determined to do something or that his perseverance is commendable.

"That's quite true, but Bronze Tree doesn't know about this."

I spread my hands helplessly. This was purely a problem of poor intelligence.

"Based on the intelligence I've personally obtained these days, if nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid they will send people to the An Ding District in a while... well, the kind with bad intentions."

Although the campaign against the Tsukiyama family, which was originally scheduled to take place a few years later, was brought forward a lot, it temporarily slowed down the plan to search for Kamishiro Rize.

But slowing down does not mean giving up.

After all, Rize Kamishiro's birth also meant that Yoshimura Eto would not let her go easily...if she knew.

Moreover, in the campaign against the Yueshan family, although Bronze Tree seemed to have lost a lot of manpower, those who were lost were all low-level personnel, and none of the middle or high-level personnel were lost.

On the contrary, thanks to Yueshan Guanmu's ability to make money, after making up for the shortcoming of funds, the development of the entire organization is even better than before.

"You can ask Ms. Ryoko for more information about Jason. When I went to District 13, I heard from the ghouls in white suits that Bronze Tree handed over the affairs of District 20 to him."

"Although their main target is Kamishiro Rize, given their sadistic personality, Kaneki, who has transplanted Kamishiro Rize's hermitage, might also be implicated and become their target."

This was not a blind guess based on the original plot, but the conclusion he drew from actual investigations in recent days.

Although it was not his original purpose, knowing these things could only be regarded as an unexpected gain when investigating the water plant.

But it’s rare to find someone in a stable area who is willing to drink my coffee, so I can’t let that lunatic cause trouble!

"Come to think of it, where is Kaneki? Even if he's not on duty today, is it really okay for him to come over and work overtime for free?"

At this point, Lin Qiao suddenly had an idea and clenched his right fist and smashed it onto his left palm.

"Well, I have an idea. How about you give me his salary and let me supervise him on non-working days? This way, we can get the labor of two people while only paying one person's salary. I get the salary and he gets the job. Isn't it a win-win situation?"

"...Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

You don't want to work overtime, but you let others do it, and then listen to what you do... Tsk, if you were a human being, you wouldn't be so unhuman.

"I'm just joking, or do you think I'm the kind of person who takes advantage of my strength to bully the weak?"

"...do not you?"

"Well, I am."

"..."

So how on earth could this person say such a thing without batting an eyelid?

"It's almost time for me to go back."

He stood up from his seat, stretched, and walked out of the store at a leisurely pace.

"Wait a moment......"

Just looking at Lin Qiao who was about to walk out of the door, Dong Xiang hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Aren't you going to go up and see Hinami?"

"Next time, the child is still studying, I won't bother her."

"ciao~"

......

After Lin Qiao left, the three people in the store looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

"It feels like in just half an hour, I experienced storms that I have never experienced in most of my life..."

"No, I should say that ever since I met that guy, I always feel that things around me are moving in a strange direction."

After tying the tie with mixed colors at the collar, Gu Jianyuan sighed:

"And the one who came was Jason. What a tricky guy."

"Mr. Furuma, have you seen that man?"

Dong Xiang had heard of this name a little, but it was just something she had heard from other people.

Gu Jianyuan shook his head and denied it: "I definitely haven't seen him, but I have heard old friends mention him."

"Well, just like Ishimori said, that guy is a complete sadist."

If Kamishiro Rize became a problematic figure because of her appetite which was much bigger than that of the average ghoul, then Jason became a problematic figure entirely because of his own brutality.

At least Gu Jianyuan thinks that he cannot compare with the other party.

When he was young, he was just cruel, not a psychopath.

"But before, we only knew that he was the leader of District 13, but he joined other organizations without saying anything... It turns out that the Bronze Tree has big plans."

Especially when I heard that the other party sent people to the Anding District, and might even target Kaneki, this doesn't seem to be a good thing no matter how I think about it.

Rumi Xuan also lowered her eyebrows, her expression filled with a little sadness: "From this point of view, the other party's goal may be to integrate all the ghouls."

"It's terrible!"

All three of them understood what that meant.

If a new force wants to develop, it will naturally have to confront the existing forces, especially those like the Bronze Tree that are so aggressive.

"I'm afraid they sent people here not only to take Li Shi away, but also to find out the truth about the Anding District."

Conflict is inevitable.

No matter how much they don't want to fight, as the de facto managers of the ghouls in Area 20, it is only a matter of time before they face off against each other.

As a stable area for the peace faction, it was probably put on the other side's blacklist long ago - the two sides' ideologies are too different.

If you are unable to defeat the opponent, you can either be crushed to pieces or join the opponent as soon as possible like the man in white suit.

——Unfortunately, they don’t want to choose any of them.

"It seems that we can only stay in the store for the time being."

"Yeah, it's a rare occasion that I have an appointment with someone to get a beauty treatment this week...it's such a shame."

Gu Jianyuan and Ru Jianxuan looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

It would have been fine if they didn't know at first, but since they already knew that the other party was coming, and the one coming was the cruel Jason, then the two old seniors had to stay and take charge no matter what.

.......

On the other side, when everyone in Anding District was racking their brains for countermeasures, Lin Qiao was also a little restless.

"I have a headache..."

Riding a motorcycle on the road, the speed at which you drive is so fast that only the red taillights are left in the eyes of outsiders.

The wind blowing in his face could not reach his heart, and he could not calm down even when he returned home.

Words invisible to ordinary people appeared on his retina.

[It has been detected that the two sides of the decisive battle have not had any contact for more than three months, and there is a possibility of passive resistance. 】

[To ensure the smooth progress of the competition, the system will automatically turn on the positioning function on the 20th of each month to announce the positions of both teams. Each turn-on time is minutes.]

[15 days, 9 hours, 11 minutes and 42 seconds left to start]

Chapter 83 Autograph Session

Sitting in the driver's seat of the car, Lin Qiao put both hands on the steering wheel, looked straight ahead, and occasionally observed the lanes on both sides with his peripheral vision.

The white car was driving steadily on the asphalt road. Because it was a downtown area, there were quite a few vehicles on the road.

To be honest, although he passed the driving test, he actually drove on the road very few times, and the number of times could almost be counted on one hand.

Not to mention taking people out like now.

Hinami excitedly sat in the back seat near the window, blew a breath on the glass, and then drew a rabbit-like cartoon pattern on it.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ryoko Fueguchi covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched the other party's childish behavior, then turned to Lin Qiao.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you this time, Mr. Ishimori."

Listening to the other party's serious words, Lin Qiao said casually: "It's not a big deal. It just so happens that I can go out and drive the car. Otherwise, it will just be gathering dust in the garage."

"Besides, it's a rare trip for you, Ms. Ryoko, there's no need to be so serious. It's okay to have some fun."

I walked to the traffic light and stepped on the brakes. The vehicle moved forward for a distance due to inertia and then stopped on the road.

It looks a bit like a family of three out for a picnic... Although the three of them are living together, they are not.

Currently, Ryoko Fueguchi and Hinami Fueguchi are temporarily living in Lin Qiao's home.

Because Bronze Tree might come to Anding District to cause trouble during this period, the person responsible for staying in the coffee shop is very important.

Considering that it is very likely to eventually turn into a violent conflict, those who stay behind may not be able to repel the enemy, but at least they must have the ability to protect themselves in the conflict.

The only ones still left in Anding District, besides Yoshimura Kousen himself, were Furuma Enji, Irimi Xuan and Kirishima Touka.

Even someone like Nishio Nishiki who had some combat experience was not allowed to stay by the store manager.

Another key figure, Kaneki Ken, was given a long vacation and was not allowed to return to the stable area unless necessary. He was also warned to stay away from anyone wearing a white suit on the street.

But perhaps because he felt bad about it, at his insistence, the original vacation was turned into an adjusted day off.

As for Fueguchi Ryoko...

Although he had undergone a certain amount of training and had mastered the use of his kagune, it was still a bit beyond his capabilities when facing such an occasion.

Although the store manager is capable of finding someone else to take care of the mother and daughter, in terms of relationship, Lin Qiao is closer, and more importantly, safer.

Without transforming, he was able to fight three SS-level ghouls without kagune. After transforming, he even killed his way through the entire ghoul restaurant and slaughtered the Tsukiyama family's personal guards without any injuries.

If the Bronze Tree side is truly unethical and wants to force Anding District into submission by taking hostages, then Lin Qiao will definitely let them know how to write the word death.

Coupled with his ability to erase memories, it can be said that he is extremely stable.

Of course, Hinami definitely didn't know about these twists and turns.

For the little girl, she just went with her mother to stay for a few days at the home of her older brother, with whom she had a very good relationship.

As for now, it is because a new book signing event of a certain black-hearted novelist is going to be held nearby, and as a loyal reader, Hinami is naturally very excited.

He had no intention of stopping this. It was okay for the child to go out and play, but he couldn't really lock him up at home to take online classes, right?
