Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

Ooka Hongye was obviously frightened by her grandfather's words and her face turned pale.

"...Then grandpa, should I keep in touch with Mr. Knight?" Ooka Hongye asked while rubbing her cell phone with her hand.

"Of course!" The old man suddenly became excited, "This is the closest chance for our Ooka family to an 'emergency'!"

"Ah?" Ooka Hongye was a little confused.

Didn't you just say that the other party is an existence that the Ooka family should never approach?

how……

"I said not to approach the Ooka family, but I didn't say you shouldn't approach them." The old man looked at Ooka Momiji with a much softer look in his eyes.

"You have been a smart kid since you were young. Although you have a great talent in politics, what I value most is your genuine feelings when interacting with people. For politicians, this is a very important skill on the road to advancement."

If it weren't for Ooka Momiji who could always awaken the old man's family affection, how could the position of the head of the Ooka family fall into the hands of the only daughter in the family.

You know, it is a hundred times more difficult for women to go into politics than for men.

However, Ooka Momiji, the daughter of the head of the family, can still study in an ordinary high school and can even participate in her favorite "Karuta Club" and take part in competitions.

You must know that in the Fujiwara family in Tokyo, even the daughters of non-head families must go to specialized schools for training and to build interpersonal relationships.

"Is that so?" Ooka Hongye herself was a little unconfident.

After all, she had been scolded by her father many times since she was a child because she always expressed her true feelings.

"Of course." The old man nodded, "Just like that kid named Hattori."

"Although you were prepared to pursue him for the sake of the combination of politics and police, it's hard to say that you didn't put your true heart into it."

"...Huh?" Ooka Hongye was a little confused.

In grandpa's eyes, is this the reason why she plans to pursue Hattori?

No wonder her family members, although they would occasionally remind her to be reserved, never stood up and explicitly forbade her!

But, since grandpa has said so, let’s just take it as it is.

Although many things that shouldn't be added to the little romance were forced into it, Ooka Momiji was not very resistant to it.

After all, the only interaction between her and Hattori was that karuta competition when they were children.

I have never met him since then...I just collected newspaper clippings about the man solving cases.

She also didn't think that her infatuation with the dark-skinned detective boy was completely innocent.

Otherwise, she would not have allowed the relationship between Hattori and Toyama Kazuha to deteriorate.

That's right, as a secret person who had been keeping an eye on Hattori, Ooka Momiji had long noticed that the two people had feelings for each other.

"But, let's stop now before it officially starts." It was her grandfather's somewhat cold tone that awakened Ooka Hongye from her memories.

"Your father has fallen. The plan for the police and the government to jointly control Kansai is no longer feasible."

"Hongye, what you should do is to control the connections left by your father."

"We need to regain control of the Ooka family's base in Kyoto politics."

"The power of the police is no longer something we should interfere with."

"Compared to this, it is most important for you to personally unite with the local powerful people in Kyoto to build and strengthen your own network of interpersonal relationships."

"I'm planning to arrange a meeting with the old glutton from the Shinomiya family... Hongye, you should learn more about the Shinomiya family in the next few days."

Chapter 118: Lion Boy Justice: Explode with Him!

Shitong Zhengyi regretted joining this organization.

Although the money was perfectly credited.

But people could not give any instructions at all.

Coercion and inducement have little effect on these people who are already living on the edge of a knife.

Especially since the one who used coercion and inducement was an outsider who had just joined the organization and had no foundation at all.

Does Shi Tong Zhengyi want money?

Money is a bastard!

If he wants it, there are plenty of people lining up to give it to him!

What he lacks is someone who can do the dirty work for him instead of Goro Akechi!

He was originally quite optimistic about the guy named Bourbon.

After all, they are hardworking and capable, and all protection plans can be planned in advance in an orderly manner.

Even a cowardly and picky person like him couldn't find any loopholes in Bourbon's plan.

So after becoming a senior executive, the first person he forcibly transferred to work under him was the man named Bourbon.

Unexpectedly, Bourbon immediately turned against us.

Not only did he disobey his orders, but he even had close private relations with another person who was forcibly transferred over.

It seemed like they were trying to dethrone me... although they had already succeeded.

After all, there are only three people in the entire department.

"What exactly went wrong?" Shitong Zhengyi tapped the table with his fingers in distress.

Accustomed to using the means of the dark side, after temporarily losing these means, Shido Zhengyi found that he couldn't even deal with a prosecutor who had no background and not many connections.

For a moment, he felt so empty that he even thought, "What's the use of this power?"

Fortunately, this illusion only lasted for a moment.

After all, no one can enjoy the benefits of power better than Lion Boy Justice.

Just when Shido Zhengyi was still worrying about how to take control of the power of the organization, there was a knock on the door.

The secretary appeared in front of Shitong Zhengyi with a pale face.

"Teacher! It was the politicians from the Ooka faction who attacked us."

Shitong Zhengyi's face tightened and he stared at the secretary with fierce eyes, waiting for his next words.

"Half an hour ago, one of our people stationed in Kyoto took away an official in charge of broadcasting and media on the charge of 'large sums of money from unknown sources'."

"Are you sure it was the Ooka faction that attacked us, and not that person who provoked someone else?" Shido Masayoshi asked with his mouth slightly opened.

"It has been confirmed that the man has no connection with the Ooka faction, and there is not even a chance of indirect hostility." The secretary shook his head with a grim face.

The lion boy Zhengyi clenched his teeth, and three or four blue veins stood out on his forehead.

"Follow the normal procedures." Although he was a little terrified, Shi Tong Zhengyi still suppressed his inner anxiety and gave the secretary an order, "Protest and try to rescue him."

Shido Zhengyi didn't know whether the first shot thrown by the Ooka faction was to cast a wider net or whether they suspected him, Shido Zhengyi, in some way and planned to conduct some small investigation on him.

After all, the man who fell was the contemporary soul of the Ooka faction, and his existence value in the Ooka faction was even more important than that of Shido Masayoshi in the Shido faction.

It is common practice to treat all competitors as murderers hiding behind the scenes.

It was just that he was unlucky and was considered the first one.

So what Shido Zhengyi has to do now is not to make a big fuss, but to continue with the normal operations.

Until all suspicious spots on your body are cleared.

In other words, it lasted until the moment when the Ooka faction lost its cohesion and fell apart.

Then it will be party time for the Lion Boy Zhengyi to happily grab the cake.

It is not appropriate to feel grief over the death of a rabbit in this situation.

Therefore, from the moment the head of the Ooka family fell, all factions would spontaneously restrain their respective methods.

Compete with a gentle strategy.

This is also a good opportunity to win people's hearts and strengthen the power of one's own faction.

Shi Tong Zhengyi naturally understood this, but he could not tolerate it to some extent.

He has to endure until he can control Goro Akechi and implement the plan to disable him.

After that, he still had to endure.

He endured until Goro Akechi lost contact and even risked his own future to join the organization. How could he still endure it?

Then what's the point of him joining the organization!

Go to the special brew to win people’s hearts!

Shi Tong Zhengyi, whose mentality had been unbalanced due to various accidents, decided to explode him!

"Bourbon, go kill someone!"

"This is not a discussion with you, but an order to you... Unless you intend to defect from the organization and refuse to accept the mission assigned by me, your superior."

"But, in this case, the one who comes to you next time will not be me, but the famous GIN."

The mentally unbalanced Lion Boy Zhengyi is no longer going to use gentle tactics with others.

After all, he was out of his mind to use gentle tactics against a member of a terrorist organization!

"Vermouth, you have a mission."

"Also, I don't care who your backers are. In my opinion, you have no right to refuse a mission."

"Unless you ask the boss to come to me in person to cancel the mission, you have to do it."

"Assassinating Niijima Sae... I don't want any accidents to happen."

The tough justice of the lion boy aroused even stronger hatred from Vermouth.

But she couldn't refuse this serious job anymore.

No matter how you look at it, this job was posted by Shitong Zhengyi out of selfish motives.

It does no good to the organization.

As soon as I hung up the phone, Bourbon called me.

The two of them exchanged letters and found that they were both threatened by Shitong Zhengyi.

but……

“Bourbon, is your intelligence so behind?” Vermouth raised his eyebrows and asked, “You haven’t even gathered the information that Gin and Vodka are dead yet?”

"...Ah?" Furukaya Rei, who had been working non-stop these past few days and had little time to pay attention to the intelligence from the organization, looked at himself in the mirror with a dazed expression.

"What happened? Why are the gin and vodka...suddenly gone?"

"The situation has not been investigated clearly yet." Vermouth lit up a lady's favorite and looked out the window at the scenery as she explained, "The most credible information at the moment is... that Gin has provoked some troublesome character with extremely strong individual combat power."

"According to the on-site investigation, all the bullets fired were equipped by the people who died at the scene... There was not a single extra bullet."

"Apart from the bullet holes, most of the areas that were severely damaged were caused by cold weapons."

"Yes, it sounds outrageous, doesn't it?" Vermouth's mouth twitched slightly and said, "A group of fully armed killers were killed from the east gate to the west gate by a man holding cold weapons. They were slaughtered without leaving even a drop of blood."

"And among them, there is even Gin."

Chapter 119 Vermouth: I voted, you can do whatever you want

Vermouth was dismissive of the order from Shitong Zhengyi.

Anyway, that guy didn't set a time limit for completing the task.

So after telling Bourbon the news, she began to organize all the funds she had.

Logically speaking, she didn't think the organization could take on the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Let’s not talk about his weird ability to change his mind, let’s talk about the cold weapon master who cut Gin into two pieces.

Her contacts have sent her pictures of the scene.

The conclusion is... others are chopping vegetables and melons, while Gin and others are like birds in a cage, unable to escape even if they want to.

If the organization could collect information on all members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and determine their locations, and then use high-powered weapons to carry out saturation strikes without alerting the enemy, there might still be some chance of winning.

But given the cyber hacking skills demonstrated by Mr. K, it would be difficult not to alert the enemy.
