I am the protagonist

What is the hidden history of the Simon family?

What exactly was the relationship between Simon I and Vongola I?

Why did the Simon family ultimately have no choice but to completely disappear from the historical stage?

These are all historical events that Edelweiss desperately wants to know.

"We don't need to know these things right now, but there is one thing we need to figure out."

“The Vongola X is not our enemy, nor does he want to use the Simon family.”

This is a conclusion that Ed Heidi can now confidently state.

"Edhaidi, is it confirmed?"

"Isn't it a bit too early to draw this conclusion?"

"No, that's enough."

Edelweiss, however, felt that this conclusion had been completely proven.

"We have all seen the problems with Curie."

"The relationship between Vongola I and Simon I".

"And then there was the blood of Simon I that Vongola X returned to us before."

"These facts are enough."

"Now we need time to confirm what divine event happened between Vongola I and Simon I that led to the downfall of our Simon family."

"And then there's the matter of giving that bastard who's possessing Curie's body a thorough beating, maybe...maybe..."

Yan Zhen's eyes flashed; he knew what Ed Heidi was about to say.

Who knows, that bastard might be the real culprit behind my family's ruin.

"The succession ceremony is about to begin, so we should continue to get to know his family members better."

"Curry has been out and about a lot lately, and he must have done a lot of good deeds."

"We don't need to take action."

"There's no need to continue doing anything against the Vongola. What Curie did is none of our business."

At this moment, Yan Zhen had already made a decision in his heart.

Regardless of whether the Simon family's relationship with the Vongola will sour this time, he will not actually take action against the Sawada Tsunayoshi family.

Tsuna took Chrome and the others home after school.

A group of people had already arrived at the Sawada family home.

Even Sawada Iemitsu, who serves as an external advisor to the Vongola family, is dressed in a suit and looks very serious at this moment.

After all, the person sitting opposite them is someone with considerable experience, someone even the Vongola Boss needs to treat with respect.

"You're back, Vongola X."

"Ah, I also needed to take care of Simon's matter at school, which took a little longer."

"What a coincidence!"

"Then let's begin here as well."

"Ah."

Tsuna placed the Vongola Ring and the Vongola Box on the table.

The others also placed the rings and Vongola boxes on the table.

Gokudera also took out the Vongola ring and Vongola box that he had helped Lambo preserve.

"Yes, the Vongola Ring that has been fully unleashed, and the Vongola Box, a product of the future."

“Interesting, just like that brat Mare from before, very interesting.”

"I've gained some experience, and this renovation should only take an hour."

"sorry to bother you."

"Hehe~ This old man is also very interested to see just how far you've come, Vongola X."

Tarpo is indeed very interested in Vongola X.

The descendants who inherited the will and bloodline of Vongola I have done the same things as Vongola I.

"You brat, I never expected you to go to Mr. Tarpo to modify the Vongola ring."

Iemitsu feels like he has a serious heart problem today.

Upon returning to this era, he immediately took care of Arya and Yuni.

Before things had even calmed down for a day, they released Byran Gesso and even brought him to Mr. Talpo's place. He even had specific information that Byran Gesso's Mare Ring had been modified and strengthened.

Now this kid even wants Mr. Tarpo to modify the Vongola Ring.

“It’s something that has to be done.”

"The Vongola Ring has reached its limit in this era. If it wants to continue, it needs to change its outdated image."

"Similarly, this is also a symbol."

"A symbol of the Vongola Society's revolution."

Chapter 177 The Truth Behind the Blood Flood Incident

"Yes, it would be perfect if we could ask Byakuran to help us then."

When dealing with some matters concerning the Vongola, Byakuran should be brought along as well, and Tsuna had already planned to do so for some time.

To completely resolve the Vongola issue, Byakuran's help is still needed.

"...You brat, you actually dragged Blancpain into this too."

"It's not just Blanche Gesso; if we're going to be precise, even the Avengers have to be involved."

"After all, when it comes to revolution, we can't do without an excellent enforcer. White and I are the ones who set the rules for the dark world, while the Avengers are the ones who help us protect those rules."

"And I think the Avengers would be better suited to maintaining order, which is what they do now."

Just as Byakuran's power is needed, so too is the power of the Avengers.

He and Bai Lan are the ones who set the rules, but they can't monitor whether people are following them all the time, so someone definitely needs to be responsible.

The Avengers were considered by Tsuna to be the best choice.

[A plan to bring Brandon, Gesso, and the Avengers into the scheme... Is this some kind of grand gift to the world so soon after taking power?]

Byakuran Gesso is the man who rules the entire future world, even pinning the Vongola to the ground and beating them mercilessly, and practically controlling everything in the world.

The Avengers are the ones who work alongside the Mafia and set the rules behind the scenes. Anyone who violates their rules, no matter who they are, will be arrested and punished.

[If these two really get going, the whole world will be thrown into chaos. They've even brought together these two forces to try and rule the entire dark world...]

"...Okay, my son probably really can do that."

Iemitsu really wanted to say that his son's idea was unrealistic.

But when he thought about how abnormal his son's abilities were, he understood why his son dared to say such things.

"Since you're all here, I'll talk about the Simon family."

"You should have all met them before, right? Those transfer students from Zhimen Middle School."

Tsunayoshi's main question was about Sasagawa.

"Oh! It's a guy named Aoba Momiji, I've already met him."

"And then? How do you feel about him?"

"Hmm, he's a pretty good guy. He likes boxing just like me, and he's quite skilled. Plus, he's hiding a considerable amount of death flame."

"That's about right."

Since even Sasagawa has met the students of Shimon Middle School, Tsunayoshi believes that he has already met most of the others as well.

"First, I need to talk about some recent events concerning the Simon family."

"You who have only just come into contact with the world probably don't know about this incident yet. It's called the 'Blood Flood Incident'."

"This is a very important matter for the Simon family, and it is because of this matter that the Vongola and Simon have been placed in completely opposing positions."

"The Blood Flood Incident... Tsuna, what was that?"

"Simply put, it's an event named after the fact that blood was flowing like a flood. It was a rather heinous event, at least in modern times."

[The Blood Flood Incident...]

Upon hearing this name, Iemitsu's face darkened.

He could still recall what happened that day even in his dreams; it was a dark event he witnessed as an outsider advisor.

Even with his eyes closed, he could still see his men lying coldly in the elevator, their red blood flowing down the elevator shaft and throughout the entire hotel.

"That incident happened outside the door, right, Dad?"

"...Ah, all twelve of my men died tragically in that elevator incident."

Everyone became much more serious at that moment.

"Tsuna, what exactly is going on?"

"This matter is actually a bit complicated, and it goes back at least seven years."

"Seven years ago, families that had a good relationship with the Vongola were all shot and assassinated. Since the families that were targeted were not actually the Vongola, the Vongola was not asked to investigate. Instead, an external advisor was asked to investigate."

"After a series of investigations into the gun and the rifling marks, it was concluded that the owner of the gun was an antique shop owner, who was also the father of Koji Enma and the previous boss of the Simon family."

"However, such obvious evidence is too glaring. Even a fool wouldn't leave such conspicuous evidence. So this evidence is clearly a deliberate attempt to frame Kosato Enma's father."

"Dad, you must have realized that back then, right?"

After a long silence, Iemitsu nodded.

"At that time, I did discover the problem, but by the time I realized it was a setup, twelve of my men had died in the elevator."

“I realized then that the problem was escalating, so I wanted to contact the Simon family as soon as possible. But when I got there, the Simon family had all been killed as well.”

The situation was terrible at the time, and he himself was deeply mired in it.

Even though Iemitsu, who was investigating, knew that everything was definitely aimed at the Vongola, the fact that everyone had been killed made it impossible for him to explain the situation.

"It's obvious that this is an act against the Vongola, and it was very deliberate to let Kosato Enma survive alone, so that he could see the whole process and keep his hatred for the Vongola alive."

"Now it has brought out the Simon Ring, which has brought out the hatred and killing intent that the Simon family has hidden for many years, causing the two families to go to war, thus achieving the situation that someone wants to see."

"It is obvious that the other party's target is the Vongola... no, to be precise, the next Vongola Boss who has inherited the bloodline of the first Vongola."

"I think that person probably thought something like, 'It would be great if the next person to inherit the bloodline died along with the weak Simon family.'"

Tsuna still had a smile on his face at this moment, but it was a very sarcastic smile.

"That's a really good idea."

"Then this time he should pay a price for his past betrayals and this operation."

The sarcastic smile slowly faded, quickly turning into a sigh.

“Yi Shi, your guilt towards him seems to be just your own one-sided feeling.”

"You still consider him a member of the family, but he went and persecuted your friend's descendants. If you knew about this now, wouldn't you have killed him on the spot?"

Chapter 178 This is the Second Gift

"...Perhaps in the end you will still believe in him."

"It's just that that guy has lost all sense of reason because he was implicated because of his woman."

"In this lifetime, I will keep my promise to you and let that madman go down to the underworld to see that woman as soon as possible. Perhaps only that woman can bring that madman back to his senses."

Tsuna closed his eyes again, and when he opened them again, the Dying Will Flame on his forehead had been ignited.

"I've already spoken to the Simon family this time, and they should have discovered by now that one of their companions has had his body forcibly taken. However, those guys are people you can approach, so try to make contact with them more often."

“Except for Kato Curie.”

"He's a traitor now, but he's not at Namimori Middle School anymore, so we don't need to worry about him."
