The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 304 Beidou's Rescue

"Master, why don't we retreat first? There are too many Fatui. If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid we won't be their opponent."

Tong Shenjie was also very tempted by the persuasion of his retainers. He originally thought that the Fatui came here just to continue their cooperation, but the words of the Fatui just now made Tong Shenjie's heart sink. They really wanted to kill him.

"Retreat? I'm afraid that might be difficult."

After hearing what the retainer said, the captain of the guard smiled bitterly and shook his head. If they had retreated at the beginning, they might have been able to get away. But it was too late to retreat now as the number of Fatui was simply too large.

Looking at the Fatui who were watching them covetously, the Tong family's retainers fell silent. Yes, facing the Fatui whose numbers were several times theirs, even if they fought to the death, they would not be able to allow the head of the family to retreat safely.

"Everyone of the Fatui, can't we just talk it out? Why do we have to fight to the death here? As long as you can sit down and talk, I can reserve some positions for you Fatui in the Kanjo Bugyo."

"Haha, Patriarch Tong, everyone present is an adult. Do you think your little interest will make us give up our future plans? You know, the promise that Patriarch Kujo gave us is not as simple as a Kande Bugyo."

The leader of the Fatui sneered with disdain. All they cared about in the Fatui were interests. They did not even look down on a few positions within the Kanjo Bugei. What they wanted were the three Bugei of the entire Inazuma. Once the plan succeeded, all affairs within Inazuma would be the sole decision of them.

"Oh? Then tell me what your purpose is?"

"who?"

"I say, have you Fatui always been so bold? You attacked Inazuma's family openly. You really don't take that Thunder General seriously."

Under the shocked gazes of the Fatui, Beidou appeared at the Tong family with a group of crew members of the Southern Cross Fleet. When the leader of the Fatui saw that the visitor was Beidou, the arrogant expression on his face disappeared, and he secretly groaned in his heart, why did this guy appear here, did someone leak the news?
"Captain Beidou, I hope you and your Southern Cross Fleet will pretend not to have seen what happened today."

"Huh? That won't do. The head of the Kamisato family has already given me my reward. I'm not a bad woman like Ningguang."

Hearing that the Fatui in front of her hoped that she would not interfere, Beidou refused without a second thought. Since Kamisato Ayato hired people from their Southern Cross Fleet, she, Beidou, certainly could not destroy the reputation of her Southern Cross Fleet in the mercenary world.

The leader of the Fatui saw that Beidou refused to retreat, and his face turned a little bad. Although there was a strong enemy behind him, the mission had to be completed.
"Where on earth did these Fatui come from? It's really strange. Why are there so many of them? I really don't know how the intelligence work of your various Inazuma departments is done."

Beidou complained after killing a Fatui with one sword. If the people she brought were not the elites of the Southern Cross Fleet, many brothers would have been killed today.

Jiuqi Shinobu, who had killed an enemy with the element of lightning, nodded in agreement. If she hadn't discovered it by accident today, the entire Tong family would have been killed by the Fatui.

The Tong family's retainers on the side were feeling miserable, because after the Fatui found that their way of retreat was blocked by Beidou, they directly changed their target and headed straight for Tong Shenjie. The pressure on the retainers around Tong Shenjie increased instantly. If they had not retreated into the house, the Fatui's mission would have been completed long ago.

"TNND, this is too slow to chop one by one, get out of the way."

Beidou shouted, and the lightning element instantly condensed around her body. Then she picked up the big sword in her hand and swung it forward, and the lightning element suddenly gushed forward. Beidou, who was able to kill sea beasts before obtaining the Eye of God, was naturally very powerful. The powerful lightning element spread among the Fatui, and those Fatui who did not wear any shoulder guards were immediately numbed by the electricity. Some Fatui who were closer to Beidou even had black smoke coming out of their mouths.

With Beidou's move, the number of Fatui began to decrease sharply, and the following time was the fighting time of the crew members under Beidou. After no Fatui was still standing, Beidou remembered that when the head of the Kamisato family commissioned her to come, he seemed to have asked her to leave a few people alive.

"The head of the Kamisato family told me that it's enough to leave a few alive, but these guys lying on the ground should not be dead, right? How about killing a few more?"

Looking at the few Fatui who were still standing on the field, Beidou waved his greatsword and muttered uncertainly. These murderous words almost scared the Fatui who were unable to move on the ground due to the electric shock of the lightning element and made them jump up. Damn it, this is too cruel. Are we the villains or are you the villains?

"Forget it. I don't know why the head of the Kamisato family asked me to leave a few alive, so I'd better leave him a few more."

After thinking about it, Beidou put down the sword in his hand. What the traveler said on the Death Star was very right. When doing a commission, it is better to do nothing than to make a mistake, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.
"It's done. Go get treatment for the injured brothers. I'll take you out for a nice dinner later in the evening."

"Ahem, thank you for the help of the Southern Cross Fleet. If the Southern Cross Fleet needs any help on the outlying islands in the future, you can come to our Tong family. We will definitely help."

After making sure that all the Fatui had lost their ability to fight, Tong Shenjie walked out from behind the Tong family guards with an expressionless face. However, his trembling legs seemed to reveal that his heart was not as calm as his facial expression.

"Are you the head of the Tong family?"

"Yes, I am Tong Shenjie."

Beidou looked Tong Shenjie up and down. Although she often came to Inazuma to trade, she had never seen the head of the Tong family before. She didn't expect that this middle-aged man who looked very serious and proper would be the head of the Tong family who traded with the Fatui. It really is true that you can't judge a person by his appearance.

"Since you are the head of the Tong family, it will be easy. The head of the Kamisato family asked me to bring you a message."

"Old man Tong, do you want to wait for the Fatui to confess before the Shogunate army comes to arrest you, or do you want to confess what you did?"

Hearing Beidou say this, Tong Shenjie's face changed again and again, and at the same time he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Haha, I thought he had done it secretly enough, but he didn't expect to be discovered. Kamisato Ayato is such a scary opponent.

Alas, if he had known that the young brat would become such a terrifying opponent now, he would have strangled this young brat in the cradle even at the risk of offending Yaemiyaji. What a pity, it’s all over now.

"Captain Beidou, rest assured. I will turn myself in. Now is the time to settle accounts for everything I have done."

After saying this, Tong Shenjie seemed to have aged by ten years and no longer had the fighting spirit he once had. Looking at the decadent Tong Shenjie, Beidou did not feel any sympathy. If he had known this would happen, he would not have done that in the first place.
