Sitting at the desk, Tono Akiba's fingertips kept tapping on the table, and a serious expression of determination gradually appeared on his face.

Those guys who claim to be relatives but are secretly doing something unknown.

Next, he had to either expose everything to her or get out of the Tohno family. He was already so well-off, yet he still dared to touch a Dead Apostle.

Tono Akiha has no interest in the mysterious world.

Even though she now actually possesses the powerful force that can split mountains and rocks.

But so what?

Times have long since changed.

The protagonist of the world is no longer mysterious.

Even the top vampires who were capable of destroying a city, those beings called Ancestors, had retreated into hiding.

Those old guys who can't see the times are still obsessed with pursuing the power of that thing.

"Maybe it's to live longer."

A clear and cold voice sounded from the side.

Tono Akiha turned around and found an expressionless pink-haired girl standing next to her.

The young lady's thoughtful expression paused for a moment, and then a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

Tono Akiha: "It's rare, Emerald, that you would actually take the initiative to talk about this."

Jadeite, Amber's twin sister.

She has the same short pink hair as Amber, and unlike her, she always wears a standard maid outfit, and a white Katyusha maid headdress on her head that Amber never wears.

Compared to Amber's energetic appearance, Hisui is more taciturn and has a strong obsession with cleanliness. She is the one who usually cleans the Tono residence.

Jade: "Sister is very happy recently."

Jade lowered her head and spoke softly.

Tono Akiha: "Oh, you mean Amber has been playing games lately. She really cares about it. Jade, you can play with Amber when you have time."

She nodded in agreement with Jade's words.

Jade: “…”

The cold pink-haired girl neither nodded nor shook her head in response to the eldest lady's invitation.

Today, she still cares about her sister, but at the same time she is also a little afraid of her sister.

There is always a tacit understanding between twins that is like telepathy.

Although Amber and Emerald have not reached this level, Geminis are born with a keener perception of their other half than ordinary people.

Feicui could vaguely feel that the only time her sister, who was always smiling, was truly happy was probably when she just said something like this.

All other times, there is only a hollowness beneath the bright smile.

But she couldn't tell these to Miss Qiuye in front of her.

She just wants her sister to stay happy for a longer period of time, so the cooperation between Tono Akiha and Kurogane Kanko is necessary.

If, if I could keep going, maybe I could see my normal sister.

The expressionless pink-haired girl was looking forward to this in her heart.

Jade: "How do you plan to compensate that Hei Tong Xian Hu?"

Tono Akiha: "I haven't thought about it yet. I can ask him what he wants later. I really owe him a favor now."

Jade: "Well, how about letting my sister go to their place for a while?"

The cold voice spoke, words that seemed completely inappropriate to the current situation.

Tono Akiha: “?”

She looked at the jade beside her with a puzzled look, showing no emotion.

Jadeite: "Because you have family matters to deal with, you are unable to give material rewards for the time being, right? I can ask my sister to use your name and borrow the connections of the Tono family to help them deal with the troublesome matters."

As the head of the family, the only thing that Tono Akiba can rely on now is the connections of the Tono family.

Amber, her personal maid who often accompanies her to business events, does represent her will to a certain extent.

Tono Akiha: “…”

"Sounds like a good idea."

Recalling the scene not long ago when Hei Tong Xian Hu tried to win over Amber.

Tono Akiha lowered her head so that Emerald couldn't see her expression.

As the head of the Tono family, the girl received all kinds of training since childhood. After her father's death, in order to inherit the family, she devoted all her time to learning and planning.

Amber and Hisui are the only two close people to Tono Akiba, and it is not wrong to say that they are her only family in this world.

Apart from them, Qiu Ye really has no one else he can get so close to.

Now the maid named Amber has left the Tono residence.

What would happen if the other party never came back?

Tono Akiha admitted that she was vaguely afraid.

Who else could accept this cursed blood of Tono, except for the two girls who grew up with me?

but--

"Then let Amber go for a while."

He nodded gently, his voice filled with the firmness of forced determination.

Although Tono Akiha couldn't understand Amber's current state of mind as well as Emerald, she also knew her past, so it was a good idea to let Amber leave the Tono family for a while.

"In the days to come, Jadeite, please replace Amber and attend meetings with me."

She turned her head and looked at the expressionless girl beside her and spoke.

Jade nodded after a moment's pause.

Volume 1: Chapter 33: Meeting the Witch in a Dream

Visit the local church in Guanbuzi City.

An investigation is underway around the Kurogiri residence.

Unfortunately, apart from the body of a low-level vampire found inside the Kurogiri mansion, no clues were left at the scene.

Noyer could basically determine that this was not an accidental vampire predation caused by chance, but a premeditated attack on Heitong Lake.

This is undoubtedly a big fish.

Noyer was quite excited.

The agents of the Holy Church have assessment standards for every period of time, and every agent outside has a quota to complete every year.

This is different from the initial mission of hunting wandering vampires.

Currently, incidents like this involving vampires lurking in society are extremely valuable in the church's mission assessment system. Simply put, if you consider this achievement, it's equivalent to hunting dozens or even hundreds of wandering vampires.

Even if it was just the discovery of the guy hiding in the dark, it would be enough for Noyer to rest easy for the next six months.

The tired girl, like a corporate slave stimulated by the super high bonus, changed her initial slacking state and became quite active.

"Please don't lie to me. Since they sent assassins to deal with you, you must have offended them."

The curvy agent standing in front of Hei Tong Xian Hu was trying hard to interrogate the other party.

"Noyer's Agent, I've said this many times. I haven't offended anyone recently. The attackers this time might be those whose interests have been damaged by the development of my game console industry. Or perhaps some force has seen the potential of game consoles and is planning to secretly eliminate me and release their own machines to replace them."

Hei Tong Xian Hu's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke without any pause or guilt.

At this time, it was already noon on the third day after the attack, and the location was the company in Heitong Xianhu.

Wu Tiao Wu Hui and Liang Yi Zhi have both entered the workflow.

And Hei Tong Xian Hu was pushed out to deal with the sudden arrival of Noyer.

"You are covering up for me."

Staring at the man in front of him, Noelle gritted his teeth.

Hei Tong Xian Hu: "No, that's all. Noel Agent, you can't let me randomly designate someone for you to arrest. That would be a false accusation."

Noelle: “…”

The excited expression suddenly deflated.

Miss Noyer, who was a little teasing, sat weakly on the chair.

"Really do not have?"

She looked at Hei Tong Xian Hu with some pity and asked in a low voice.

At this moment, her legs were intentionally crossed, revealing the snow-white skin of her thighs.

"Answer correctly and you'll get a reward~"

Big sister Noelle blinked her eyes and used what she thought was her last trump card against the little boy.

Unfortunately, it was of no use. Hei Tong Xian Hu just glanced at her and left without any lingering gaze.

Hei Tong Xian Hu: "Indeed not. I also want to catch the murderer as soon as possible. After all, you see I am actually in danger now."

Noelle: "Tsk~ boring."

The pitiful expression that was meant to gain sympathy turned into cursing at this moment.

Noyer, who didn't get the result he wanted, dropped his disguise with an unhappy look on his face.

Maybe it was because Kuroto Kanko was not attracted by his charm at all, but Noyer's attitude towards him became more casual than at the beginning.

The communication between the two sides came to an end.

Looking at the listless Miss Sadness-type nun walking out the door, Hei Tong Xian Hu could only say sorry in his heart, then turned around and went back to the company to continue working.

After Tono Akiha gave a formal response and explained the current situation to Kurogane Kanko, he gave up his plan to look for the Holy Church.

Comparing the cathedral church to the police.

It turned out that Hei Tong Xian Hu was attacked, so he asked the police for help to protect his safety and punish the attackers.

But now, he discovered that the attacker seemed to be a relative of his old friend, so this matter needed to be discussed.

Then he must give his old friend some face.

Although Tono Akiha is not an old friend of Hei Tong Xianhu, he is definitely someone who has helped him a lot. Without Tono Akiha's help, it would be a different question whether his company would have enough funds to start up now.

You can't just sacrifice her family because of a momentary impatience.

He can wait for a reply from Tono Akiha.

However, the prerequisite is that the other party can give an appropriate response, and the culprit must definitely receive the punishment he deserves.

He will also hand the culprit over to the Holy Church for punishment later.

Noyer didn't see the inside story of this matter, but Hei Tong Xianhu felt that the mother-in-law Yuizi in the church had probably seen it.

Now both parties are trying to resolve the matter smoothly.

After all, Zhen did attack the Tono family.

The Cathedral Church actually doesn't get any benefits either.

If warriors who fight in the name of faith really start a fight on a large scale, they must show their momentum and push the entire Tono family, regardless of right or wrong, into the enemy camp. This is the greatest possibility.

By then, other existing demon-exorcising families in Japan would likely generate unnecessary backlash.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to wait for the Tono family to conduct a self-examination, identify the culprit, and hand him over to the church.

The church that has been passed down to this day naturally has sufficient ability to examine whether it has lied.
