Perhaps it was because he was called incompetent to his face, or perhaps it was because of the enemy, but the Holy Emperor frowned slightly, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

"Oh wow, mechanical modification..."

Mahiro muttered to himself, as if he had seen a new and interesting toy, carefully examining the masked man named Hiruko Kagetane.

Like Rentaro, this guy is a former member of the 787th Mechanized Special Unit of the Eastern Army of the Ground Self-Defense Force, and he also underwent holmium cybernetics.

However, unlike Rentaro, who only has one arm, one leg, and one eyeball, this man has modified all his internal organs!

It has a slight hint of mechanical ascension.

Is this also Sumire Muroto's masterpiece?

However, just as he was pondering this matter, Hiruko Kagetane had already summoned his daughter, who was also his originator—

A girl with short, wavy, dark green hair, wearing a black dress with trim, placed her hands on the table, lifted her leg, and with a "whoosh," climbed onto the table with some difficulty. She then ran to Hiruko Kagetane's side, picked up the hem of her dress, and gave a proper bow.

"My name is Hiruko Kohina, and I am 10 years old."

Thick, sticky blood still dripped slowly from the two holmium katanas she wore at her lower back, making her seem like a combination of elegance and danger.

She was also brainwashed by Hiruko Kagetane from a young age, making her the most morbid loli.

Hiruko Kagetane's appearance completely disrupted the original order of the meeting, especially when he mentioned the term "the legacy of the Seven Stars," which made everyone present look serious.

Because of Hiruko Kagetane's arrogant attitude, a chaotic battle naturally broke out.

Centered on himself, Hiruko Kagetane radiated out a repulsive force field, freezing all the bullets fired by everyone in mid-air and even reflecting them back.

This move caught the police officers present off guard, and many of them have been seriously injured as a result.

Mahiro shielded Tendo Kisara and Asaka behind him, unilaterally deflecting the incoming bullets.

Soon, the conference room, filled with the acrid smell of gunpowder and left in ruins by heavy gunfire, was filled with the groans and cries of those who had been wounded by ricochets lying on the ground.

"Oh my, it seems that not all police officers are incompetent~ Proud lone wolf boy, Yotsuba Mayumi."

A moment later, seeing that there was someone else standing in the room besides himself, Hiruko Kagetane looked him over with great interest.

The Holy Emperor also noticed his presence, as if he had seen a savior.

"Mr. Zhenxun, please take action to subdue this madman," the Holy Emperor said immediately, speaking through the screen.

Mahiro ignored Hiruko Kagetane and turned to look at the Holy Emperor on the screen.

"No problem selling, but what about the payment?"

"One-tenth of the reward for this mission, which is one hundred million."

“No problem, but that little girl, and all the loot that follows, are all mine.”

"Okay, I agree."

Although the Holy Emperor did not understand what he meant by these words, he still agreed.

Having received the Emperor's approval, Shinji jumped onto the table.

Under the watchful eyes of the two people on the screen, as well as many police officers and the club president, they slowly approached Hiruko Kagetane.

The heavy footsteps that echoed across the conference table seemed to pound on everyone's hearts.

It's exactly the same arrogance that Hiruko Kagetane displayed not long ago!

"Be careful, Shin-kun."

Kisara spoke up to remind him.

"It's nothing, just crickets modified into soldiers." Mahiro smiled slightly, not taking it to heart at all, and at the same time took out a strangely shaped black pistol from his pocket and pointed it at the other side.

At least, that's how Hiruko Kagetane saw it: the flat barrel and muzzle made it clear that it wasn't a firearm that fired bullets.

But what else can shoot out of it? Water?

Just as Mahiro didn't take Hiruko Kagetane seriously, Hiruko Kagetane also didn't care about his weapons.

"Oh my, Yotsuba Mahiro is quite arrogant. Firearms can't break my [Imaginary Gimmick]."

Like a heavenly father embracing the world, Hiruko Kagetane opened his arms to him, indicating that he could fire at will.

"Is that so? Then let's give it a try." Yotsuba Mahiro said expressionlessly.

Meanwhile, inside the sacred residence, the elderly Tendou Kikunojo, who served as an assistant to the Holy Emperor, felt a sudden sense of foreboding upon hearing these words and immediately shouted towards the screen:

"Police officer Yotsuba Mahiro has captured Hiruko Kagetane alive! He has the intelligence that Seigaku needs!"

late.

By the time Do Kikunojo uttered those words that day, it was already too late.

Because Yotsuba Mahiro had already pulled the trigger on Hiruko Kagetane.

"Clouds disperse and fog clears" is activated!

"Well...."

Hiruko Kagetane's eyes suddenly widened as if he had suffered some kind of injury. He clenched his shirt over his heart in disbelief, as if he were enduring great pain or suppressing something.

But the struggle lasted less than a second.

Then....

"Disappeared?"

Someone among those present muttered something like that.

This sudden and shocking turn of events left them speechless, even forgetting their injuries, and they stared in disbelief at everything before them.

Hiruko Kagetane, whom none of them could defeat, was instantly killed?

No, it's an instant kill?

No, it should be called evaporation!

Yes, that's right, it's literal evaporation.

Hiruko Kagetane's body was broken down into elemental levels.

All the organic matter in the body can no longer leave any trace of its former biological origin. Proteins become hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur; bones become phosphorus, oxygen, calcium, and other trace elements; and blood, nerves, stored nutrients, and even excrement are all decomposed into molecules or ions composed of single elements.

Lighter elements, such as hydrogen, are dispersed in the air.

The gaseous element of the flammable element spontaneously combusts when it combines with the released oxygen.

But among all of them, Hiruko Kagetane suddenly disappeared, turning into a wisp of smoke drifting in the air.

All that remained were a large number of scattered parts, clanging and clattering on the table.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that these parts are all made of ultra-holmium alloy, which are the mechanical internal organs modified by Hiruko Kagetane. They still retain warmth, and having lost the biological support of their target, they are slowly ceasing to function.

Mahiro stepped forward and picked up the parts.

"Not bad. Although it's the first time we've done a multi-layered, detailed breakdown, it seems to be quite successful so far."

As if by magic, he threw all these mechanical organs into the ring.

Take it back to Tatsuya and FLT to study; maybe they can come up with something new.

"Dad... Dad...? Where are you, Dad!"

Hiruko Kohina finally came to her senses, her wide red eyes filled with despair. She knelt on the table, her hands constantly waving away the scattered dust, as if trying to sweep it away and find traces of her father, Hiruko Kagetane.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she searched, all she found was gray dust and a brown wooden tabletop.

She continued until she finally found the edge of a round-toed tactical boot.

"dad?!"

She suddenly looked up, only to find that it wasn't her father, but her mortal enemy, Yotsuba Mahiro's familiar yet unfamiliar face, casting a calm gaze upon her.

"Hiruko Kagetane is dead."

"Impossible... I don't believe it! Dad is the best! You must be lying to me! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!!!"

Hiruko Kohina went berserk, like a wild beast unleashed, repeatedly muttering "I'll cut you down," before drawing two katanas from her waist and slashing at Yotsuba Mahiro's waist.

clang--

Tiny sparks burst forth in the air.

"Don't you dare be disrespectful to Lord Makoto! I'm your opponent!!!"

Mibu Asaka appeared in front of Yotsuba Mahiro, drawing her katana to block Hiruko Kohina's twin-sword attack.

The sparks of fire illuminated their faces.

While blocking Kohina's slash, Mibu Asaka kicked her in the abdomen, sending her flying.

Hiruko Kohina was forcibly forced to stay away from Yotsuba Mahiro's side.

Mahiro had originally planned to knock Hiruko Kohina unconscious, but seeing Asaka's fighting spirit, he silently put the CAD back into his pocket and let Asaka go.

It's important to know that Asaka, who has been training in kendo with Kisara Tendo for a year, is now a completely different person. In terms of kendo skill alone, even Hiruko Kohina, who was originally ranked 134th, is no match for her.

This also allowed Xiaochaoxia to vent her inner dissatisfaction.

It's also a good opportunity to use Hiruko Kohina to let Mibu Asaka test her own strength and achievements.

"Do you know what you've done?! Officer Yotsuba Makoto!"

Just then, the old man on the screen, Kikunojo Tendo, let out a powerful and furious voice.

"What did I do? I merely killed a terrorist as ordered by His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Was that wrong?"

Yotsuba Mahiro feigned an innocent and surprised expression.

"..."

Kikunojo Tendo slowly narrowed his eyes, his muscular chest rising and falling gently, his sharp gaze shining through the screen onto him.

"Do you know that person possesses crucial information that the Holy Abode needs?"

"Oh really? Why didn't you say so sooner? Why didn't you say so sooner?" Zhenxun shrugged and looked at the dignified old man on the screen with a mocking expression. "Besides, isn't that a matter for your superiors? What does it have to do with me, a policeman?"

"Your Excellency, Tendo, you're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"

The last part of the words already conveyed a strong sense of threat.

“That’s right. What information Hiruko Kagetane carries has nothing to do with us police officers. You can only blame yourselves for not making the request clear at the time.”

Just then, Kisara climbed onto the round table of the conference, walked step by step to the front of the large screen, and looked at the old man.

“Kisara..…”

"Hello, Lord Tiantong. It's been a long time. How have you been?"

When Kikunojo showed an angry expression, Kisara calmly smiled at him, his tone of consolation quite subtle.

"You still haven't let go of your resentment? You vengeful ghost who's returned from hell."

"Not at all. I was merely protecting the best police officers under our police company. It was just a coincidence that you were the target. Could it be that Lord Tiantong is also involved in this matter, which is why you feel guilty?"

"You actually tried to talk your way out of this..."

“You should know that all ‘Tendo’ must die, Lord Tendo.”

Kisara narrowed his eyes, which shone with a cold light. "This is not a warning, but my way of survival."

"Kisara..." Kikunojo narrowed his eyes angrily, and his imposing presence could be felt even through the screen.

"Miss Kisara..."

This doesn't sound like a conversation between a grandfather and grandson at all.

Because he had some understanding of the relationship between Kisaragi and Kikunojo, the Emperor was also terrified.

Rentaro felt worried as he looked at the old man on the screen who was almost bursting with rage, and the girl on the table who was filled with intense hatred.

Kikunojo Tendo was his adoptive father, and according to seniority, he was Kisara Tendo's uncle.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for Kikunojo ten years ago, he would have already perished in the jaws of Gastrea and wouldn't be alive today.

Therefore, even though he left the Tendo family with Kisara, he always felt a sense of gratitude towards the Tendo family, or rather, towards Tendo Kikunojo.

Out of gratitude, he has been trying to find a way to help Kisara let go of his hatred.

But that's obviously impossible.

Destroying the Tendo family had long been Tendo Kisara's only way to survive.
