The demon monk in the second dimension

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Natsumi and Rentaro Satomi left.

Only after Emperor Wu Xuanzong of Qi arrives in the Tokyo area will they accompany the Holy Emperor to meet with the other party and provide him with protection.

……

The Holy Emperor's office area is very large, and the decorations are almost identical, making it easy for people to get lost.

As Xia Zhi and Satomi Rentaro were walking, they suddenly heard the sound of a bullet being chambered coming from the empty hall.

"I hope you can abandon this commission."

From behind the two men, Takuto Howaki walked over with two guards.

They raised the same model of silver pistols, pointing the dark muzzles at Xia Zhi and Satomi Rentaro.

"The Holy Emperor is far too cautious. Our guards and medical team are more than enough to protect her safety; why did Sima Zhonggong have to get involved?"

Howaki Takuto flicked his gray bangs and said with a proud look on his face.

"Our medical team can even defeat Scorpio, who is associated with the zodiac, so why would we worry about Qi Wu Xuanzong's petty tricks?"

Rentaro Satomi was raised by Kikunojo Tendo and traveled to many places with him. He also met Saimu Genzong of Osaka.

He knew full well how ruthless and unscrupulous the other party was, and was about to retort when Xia Zhi stopped him.

Xia Zhi mocked the guards who came from the sanitation team.

"If my children hadn't shut down the Seven Stars' legacy, do you think Scorpio would have left? Taking credit for others' work is truly a traditional practice of the sanitation team."

"You... how can you compare to our medical team when you're just a cursed monster?"

Howaki Takuto revealed an angry expression.

He forced Natsumi and Rentaro Satomi into the rarely used restroom and spoke to the other two.

"Go and break their arms and legs, make them give up on this mission. I really dislike this guy, knock his teeth out too!"

The next moment, Xia Zhi made the first move.

His speed was so fast that even Rentaro Satomi needed to use his modified prosthetic eye from Sima Heavy Industries to barely see his movements.

Xia Zhi pressed down on Bao Xie Zhuoren's head and slammed it hard against the wall next to him.

boom!

Half of Howaki Takuto's head was stuffed into the wall by Natsumi, while the other half of his head was sunken inward.

Obviously, a human cannot survive with only half a head.

The next moment, he raised the gun in Howaki Takuto's hand and fired two shots, killing the other two guards.

Rentaro Satomi had no chance to stop them; all three were already dead.

The gunshot that rang out in the bathroom immediately brought the surrounding guards over.

The discovery of the deaths of Howaki Takuto and the other two guards quickly alerted the nearby Holy Emperor.

"What happened?"

The Holy Emperor was furious, completely bewildered by what had happened!

She had just asked Natsumi and Satomi Rentaro to protect her, but in the blink of an eye, her three bodyguards were killed by the two of them.

Surrounded by guards and gritting, gun-wielding officers, Rentaro Satomi was at a loss when he saw Natsumi glaring at the Holy Emperor and preemptively speaking.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to detain me, as a shareholder of Sima Heavy Industries, in order to coerce the company?"

Chapter 237 The Holy Emperor Apologizes

"What detention? Zhuo Ren and the others were killed, but you're perfectly fine!"

An agitated guard pointed a gun at Xia Zhi, as if he had a very good relationship with Bao Xie Zhuoren.

"You still have the blood of the Zhuo people in your veins!"

Actually, this is the deputy captain of the guards.

Now that Takato Howaki is dead, he has a chance to take over!

The angrier he appears, the higher his score will be in the eyes of others.

As for the shareholders of Sima Heavy Industry?

This person looks so young, he probably only has a small amount of employee stock.

He's just a nobody!

"This world is not a place where the weak are always right."

Xia Zhi glanced at the guy stirring up emotions, but mainly stared at the Holy Emperor.

"They threatened me with guns, demanding that Sima Heavy Industries lower its weapons price for the medical team. Otherwise, they threatened to kill us and said that the medical team would refuse to purchase weapons and equipment from Sima Heavy Industries in the future."

He crossed his arms, adopting the posture of a victim, and spoke indignantly to the Holy Emperor.

"Was this authorized by the Emperor or the medical team? Sima Heavy Industries may need to reconsider its business dealings with the Tokyo area!"

As a relatively private environment, there are no security cameras at the entrance of the restroom.

That's why Takayuki Howaki brought Natsuki and Rentaro Satomi here to threaten them.

Now there's no way to verify anything. Not only is there no surveillance footage, but the witness is Rentaro Satomi, who was also an employee of Sima Heavy Industries, just like Xia Zhi.

But upon hearing Xia Zhi reveal her identity, the Holy Emperor frowned deeply.

She contacted Sima Heavy Industries' representative in the Tokyo area, Sima Weizhi, and said that Xia Zhi had a conflict with her bodyguards and killed three people.

Sima Weizhi's tone immediately became serious.

“Your Majesty, Mr. Xia Zhi holds 5% of the shares in Sima Heavy Industry, making him the second largest individual shareholder after my father.”

Her tone was, of course, accusatory.

"Mr. Xia Zhi has only been in the Tokyo area for a short time, and it's impossible for him to have any personal grudges with His Majesty the Emperor's bodyguard! Our Sima Heavy Industry invited Mr. Xia Zhi to serve as His Majesty's bodyguard with the intention of fostering friendship and strengthening cooperation between the two sides. We never expected that it would put Mr. Xia Zhi in danger. If His Majesty has any objections to our Sima Heavy Industry, we can completely withdraw from the Tokyo area!"

Is Sima Heavy Industry's second-largest individual shareholder?

Everyone, including Rentaro Satomi, who was unaware of the matter, showed surprise upon seeing the extremely young-looking Xia Zhi.

The deputy captain of the guards sensed something was wrong and quietly shrank behind the crowd.

The matter has escalated to this point and is no longer just a problem between Natsume and Howaki Takuto.

Soon after, Sima's father also called, saying that he would keep a close eye on the matter and would hold talks and inquire with Kikunojo Tendo, who happened to be visiting China at the time.

The Holy Emperor discussed the matter with the generals of the medical team who had rushed over in a panic, feeling as if a black pot had fallen from the sky, and then called Kikunojo Tendou.

Finally, they came to a conclusion after discovering that no one had instructed Howaki Takuto to do so.

The Holy Emperor and several generals bowed to Xia Zhi in apology, their faces filled with remorse.

"I'm sorry, this was just Takuto Howaki's own decision."

A general, seemingly empathetic, rebuked the already dead Howaki Takuto.

"All of this was done by the heartless and depraved Takuto Howaki in his pursuit of promotion! We are deeply saddened and ashamed that such a black sheep has appeared in the ranks of the medical team."

"That's what another general said."

"We will thoroughly investigate the Holy Emperor's guards and find out who among them is protecting Zhuo Ren. In the meantime, we ask that you take those young warriors who successfully retrieved the Seven Stars' relics and protect the Holy Emperor's safety. We will increase our orders with Sima Heavy Industries, and we hope that this matter will not affect our good cooperative relationship."

Xia Zhi accepted the condition rather half-heartedly.

Meanwhile, Rentaro Satomi looked on in astonishment as he watched Natsumi, who had clearly killed someone, now have to accept apologies and compensation from the Holy Emperor and the medical team.

That's an incredibly clever tactic!

However, regardless of the circumstances, it was Takuto Yasukawa who fired the first shot.

Rentaro Satomi wasn't kind enough to stand up for the person who wanted to break his arms and legs.

Moreover, he was well aware of the severe impact that would result if Sima Heavy Industries were to withdraw from the Tokyo area.

Holmium is a metallic mineral found around volcanoes.

As a country with many volcanoes, Japan is rich in holmium metal.

In exchange for holmium ore, Emperor Xuanzong of Qi brought in the power of other countries in an attempt to unify Japan's safe zone.

In order to counter Qi Wu Xuanzong, Tendou Kikunojo brought in Sima Heavy Industries in the Tokyo area as an aid, as well as the power of the country behind it as a backing.

If Emperor Wu of Qi were to antagonize Sima Heavy Industry when he was planning to take action against the Tokyo region, wouldn't that be like crippling himself?

Therefore, the blame can only be placed on the self-righteous Takuto Hideaki.

When they returned in Sima Heavy Industries' car, Rentaro Satomi raised the soundproof barrier and finally asked.

"Mr. Xia Zhi, why did you kill him? With your strength, it should have been easy to render them incapable of resistance."

Xia Zhi glanced at Satomi Rentaro and revealed the truth.

"Those guards of Takuto Howaki take pleasure in shooting cursed children; they deserve to die."

Satomi Rentaro fell silent.

He had seen this kind of thing many times.

Considering that Xia Zhi had helped so many cursed children, it was clear that she could not forgive such a thing.

It's all because Takuto Howaki gave him an excuse to kill.

……

After this incident, all of the Holy Emperor's guards were arrested and interrogated.

Both the Holy Emperor and the medical team wanted to find out why Bao Xiezhuo had suddenly gone mad and threatened the major shareholders of Sima Heavy Industry.

Kisara Tendo and the Tensuke Class 1 began taking turns to be the personal bodyguards of the Holy Emperor, while Rentaro Satomi went ahead to check various locations along the Holy Emperor's route.

At noon, Xia Zhi saw a girl wearing a very worn pink coat and with bandages wrapped around her eyes at Tianze School.

Upon seeing the summer solstice, Mr. Matsuzaki spoke in a somber voice.

"This child blinded herself in order to beg for more food. To prevent the blindness from returning, she poured lead into her eyes."

The added statement was made after she found her cursed child.

“We brought her back from the city after hearing what her sister told us.”

After a few seconds of silence, Xia Zhi gave instructions to the employees of Sima Heavy Industry standing to the side.

"Under the guise of protecting the Holy Emperor, have Tianze Classes 2-6 patrol the Tokyo area wearing Sima Heavy Industries uniforms. If they find any cursed children, bring them here."

"Notify Miss Sima to have Sima Heavy Industries send over more prefabricated houses. Class 7 and Class 8 of Tianze should strengthen security around the area; from now on, unauthorized personnel are prohibited from approaching!"

Chapter 238 Assassination

Xia Zhi took the blind child aside and stuffed a piece of her own flesh into her mouth.

Soon, the child transformed into a goldfish-type Gastrea.

With her powerful regenerative abilities, all the lead in her eyes was squeezed out, and then Xia Zhi restored her to human form.

Xia Zhi gently stroked the little girl's head.

"Why would you ruin such beautiful eyes? Don't do that again."

The little girl blinked, adjusted her eyes to the surrounding light, and nodded vigorously at Xia Zhi, who also had a pair of red eyes.

"Yes, handsome big brother."

……

During the day, Rentaro accompanied the Holy Emperor to meet with Emperor Qi Wuxuanzong, but the two sides did not get along well.

When changing shifts, Rentaro Satomi reminded Natsumi to be careful.

"Emperor Qi Wuxuan will definitely send someone to assassinate the Holy Emperor! He's such a despicable schemer!"

Tendou Kisara reluctantly left with three groups, including the Bee Snake, while the Mantis Group, Crab Group, and Crow Group stayed behind to protect the Holy Emperor together with Natsume.

The two groups agreed to take turns tomorrow, so they can't "monopolize" the summer solstice forever.

Watching the interaction between Xia Zhi and the cursed children, the Holy Emperor opened the refrigerator in the bulletproof car and poured two glasses of juice.
