"It's alright. In fact, it would be best if the Shinomiya family were gone."

Kaguya Shinomiya's answer was unexpected by Miyuki Shirogane.

----------

"The Shinomiya family is gone..."

Shinomiya Huangguang stared blankly at the content on the screen, then suddenly realized that it seemed to be true. When they released Shinomiya Yunying, they didn't mention the Shinomiya family at all. The only thing they mentioned was that the name of Shinomiya Yunying's company contained the characters "Shinomiya".

"If the Shinomiya family is destined to perish in the future, then..."

A glint of wisdom flashed in Shinomiya Huangguang's eyes as he thought about this. He figured he probably no longer had the qualifications to compete for the position of head of the Shinomiya family, so he might as well develop like he did in the light curtain. However, developing like he did in the light curtain was a difficult question for Shinomiya Huangguang, because he didn't know how he would develop in the light curtain.

Whether he had relied on the power of the Shinomiya family, or whether he had climbed up the ranks by joining the Hydra organization, were all factors that troubled Shinomiya Hikari. Therefore, Shinomiya Hikari decided to take things one step at a time.

--------

"So, do I have a chance to reclaim the position of head of the Shinomiya family?"

As the first to withdraw from this power struggle, Shinomiya Un'yō saw the Shinomiya family disappear in the future shown on the screen and wondered if such a huge shock would give him another chance to compete for the Shinomiya family. However, Shinomiya Un'yō wanted to compete for the position of head of the Shinomiya family not to ensure the Shinomiya family's survival, but to have a good foundation for his own future, just like the company he owned in the screen.

Of course, it doesn't matter if he can't win the competition. Shinomiya Un'taka has also begun to work on the Divine Cutting, so that his future self can have his own foundation like the one in the light screen.

357: Shinji Matou: You two have broken the heavenly law?

[Just as Shinomiya Hikari took a bottle of ice water from the double-door refrigerator and closed the door to drink it, he saw a person sitting in the darkness on one side of the kitchen. That person was none other than the Winter Soldier who assassinated S.H.I.E.L.D. Director King.]

[When Shinomiya Hikari saw someone, he was startled, thinking someone had broken through his villa's security system to kill him. But after seeing with Moonlight's help and realizing it was the Winter Soldier, Shinomiya Hikari breathed a sigh of relief.]

"I'm leaving now, Mr. Shinomiya Kiko."

"Is there anything else I can do for you before I leave?"

"It's alright, Lena, you can go back now."

Suddenly, one of Shinomiya Kyouko's secretaries spoke up from the other side, saying, "It's fortunate that the angle is off; this lucky secretary didn't see the Winter Soldier, otherwise she would be dead here today."

"Would you like some water?"

After the female secretary left, Shinomiya Kumi spoke to the Winter Soldier sitting there, then turned and took a cup from a nearby cabinet, pouring water into it.

But the Winter Soldier remained silent, simply staring at the yellow light of Shinomiya without uttering a sound.

"The schedule has changed, making this a very rare opportunity."

[Shinomiya Hikari drank the water he had poured for himself, and as he drank, he walked towards the Winter Soldier.]

"Two level 6 targets and one level 5 target. They've already cost me Zola. They need to be killed within ten hours."

[Shinomiya Hikari sat down next to the Winter Soldier and spoke. The three people Shinomiya Hikari was referring to were naturally Captain Rogers, Black Widow Vermouth, and Hundred Demon Gvia.]

[And just then, coincidentally, the secretary named Lena suddenly returned.]

[Lena looked at Shinomiya Hikari sitting there and the masked figure whose face was obscured. For some reason, Lena sensed a strong killing intent emanating from the masked figure, causing her to unconsciously take a few steps back.]

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shinomiya Hiromitsu, I... forgot my phone."

[Shinomiya Hikaru immediately turned to look at Reina. Clearly, Reina, who had witnessed his meeting with the Winter Soldier, was unlikely to leave alive tonight.]

[Shinomiya Kiko also made a pained expression as he spoke.]

"Lena, you should have knocked. It's basic etiquette."

[Before the Winter Soldier could act, Shinomiya Hiromitsu picked up the pistol on the table and fired several shots at Reina, who was standing there. Reina fell into a pool of blood. The Winter Soldier was left to handle the disposal of the body.]

"A very good cautionary tale."

After watching Rena being mercilessly shot down by Shinomiya Hiyomi on the screen, Yukino Yukinoshita felt sorry for the girl named Rena. At the same time, Yukino Yukinoshita also planned to use this case to teach her older sister Yukinoshita Haruno and Hiratsuka Shizuka a lesson for those two who didn't like to knock on doors.

--------

As Shinomiya Hikari's maid, Hayasaka Nao, one of the Shinomiya family's executives, watched Shinomiya Hikari kill without hesitation or leniency on the screen. Hayasaka Nao didn't feel much emotion, after all, Shinomiya Hikari was indeed that kind of person. Thinking of this, Hayasaka Nao was even more looking forward to the destruction of the Shinomiya family. After all, her Hayasaka family was swallowed up by the Shinomiya family, so it was impossible for her not to have any negative thoughts.

Moreover, as the saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger, and Nao Hayasaka also wants to get rid of this kind of life as soon as possible.

[Early in the morning, Shinji Matou also began his workout, jogging in his familiar park, but this time he was running alone.]

Shinji Matou, having finished his morning run, returned home. He had just rested and was about to grab a drink when he heard a knock at the door. Curious who it could be, he put down his cup and went to the door. Opening it, he saw Captain Rogers and his two companions, looking disheveled.

"Good morning."

"I'm sorry, we need to lay low for a while."

[Captain Rogers said to Shinji Matou, who was now one of the few people he could trust, the closest to them. Back before the Lemuria Starship launch mission, Captain Rogers had joked with Shirou Mihawk about how the world was both big and small, and how he could run into his high school classmate and best friend while jogging.]

"Everyone we know wants to kill us."

[As Black Widow Vermouth spoke, Shinji Matou was completely stunned by her words, though his expression remained unchanged on the surface. Then, Shinji Matou slowly began to speak.]

"Except for me."

After letting Captain Rogers and his two companions in, Shinji Matou glanced outside, then closed the door and drew the curtains.

Captain Rogers and his two companions also used Shinji Matou's bathroom to quickly clean themselves off.

"Are you two alright?"

Captain Rogers looked at Black Widow Vermouth and Gylvia, who were drying their hair, and said...

【"fine."】

"It's nothing serious."

Captain Rogers, noticing Black Widow Vermouth idly drying her hair, walked up to her and asked, "..."

【"What's wrong?"】

"When I joined S.H.I.E.L.D., I thought it was something important, something completely aboveboard."

"In reality, it was just a matter of switching from the distillery to the Hydra organization."

[Black Widow Vermouth said somewhat dejectedly, while Gylvia didn't really care about S.H.I.E.L.D. The only thing that saddened her was King's situation, since her sense of belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't as strong as Captain Rogers' or Black Widow Vermouth's.]

"I thought I knew who I was on a mission for, but..."

"I can't tell the difference anymore."

[Black Widow Vermouth finished speaking with a wry smile. It's like being an undercover agent, only to find your entire neighborhood is filled with people from the other side.]

"Life is full of wrong turns."

Captain Rogers spoke to Black Widow Vermouth, who paused for a moment, startled.

"I owe you a favor."

【"nothing."】

"If it were me, and your life was in my hands, honestly, would you entrust it to me?"

[Black Widow Vermouth stared directly into Captain Rogers' eyes and questioned him.]

Chapter 358: Shinji Matou: These are my glorious achievements, Second Master.

"That's a really heavy topic."

Yoru watched as Black Widow Vermouth stared directly at Captain Rogers through the light screen.

Topics involving life and trust are always heavy, unless they're discussed in a joking tone. However, judging from the serious tone Black Widow Vermouth is using to question Captain Rogers on the screen, she's clearly not joking; she's genuinely asking a serious question.

If this were a GL game, then Captain Rogers' answer would be a major turning point that would determine the direction of the subsequent plot. Of course, the advantage of GL games is that you can try both the good and the bad, which is not possible in reality.

Right now, Yagami Tsukiko's mind is still on the post-credits scene of "The Avengers," specifically the mysterious man in a black trench coat hunting vampires in a dark city. The reason Yagami Tsukiko is so concerned about that mysterious man in black is mainly because of Nanagusa Nazuna. In Yagami Tsukiko's view, the vampire hunted by Nanagusa Nazuna and the mysterious man in black in the light screen are two completely different vampires.

Furthermore, I had asked Nanagusa Nazuna, and the vampires shown in the light screen were the lowest and worst kind of vampires. Nanagusa Nazuna also said that it was strange that the vampires shown in the light screen had no intelligence and did not know any other vampire techniques. They probably couldn't even turn others into vampires. They could only follow their instincts and carry out basic hunting and evasion behaviors.

Nanagusa and the others found this vampire quite strange, because they never expected that such low-level vampires would still exist in this day and age. Calling them vampires was an insult to them; they should be called ghouls instead.

What Hikaru Yoru was most worried about was that the mysterious man in black, Tanjiro Mori, had come knocking on his door. If Tanjiro Mori were a reasonable person, it would be fine if he realized that Nanagusa and the others weren't those ghouls. But unfortunately, this mysterious man in black, Tanjiro Mori, had a deep-seated hatred for the people in his family who had all been killed by vampires. Although he didn't say how many people in his family had been killed by vampires, it was feared that Tanjiro Mori was the only survivor.

If that's really the case, Hikaru Yoru feels that Tanjiro Mori might not let any vampire go. If they encounter Nanagusa and the others, it could be dangerous. After all, Tanjiro Mori is not only half-human and half-vampire, which gives him the physical ability to compete with vampires, but he also has a series of weapons specifically designed to counter vampires. Hikaru Yoru can't help but worry about Nanagusa and the others.

Furthermore, Hikaru Yoru thought of a woman named Uguisaki who was also investigating vampires. Hikaru Yoru wondered if Uguisaki, like Tanjiro Mori, wanted to eliminate vampires.

"I know how now."

"I never lie."

Faced with Black Widow Vermouth's question, Captain Rogers looked earnestly and sincerely into her eyes and said, "As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul." Black Widow Vermouth could see the sincerity in Captain Rogers' eyes; there wasn't a trace of falsehood in them. Hearing Captain Rogers' answer, Black Widow Vermouth's tightly furrowed brows relaxed somewhat.

"Me too, Master, I can do it too."

[The same sincere words were spoken by Hyakki Gylvia to Black Widow Vermouth, who then ruffled Hyakki Gylvia's hair, seemingly pleased that her care for the little girl hadn't been in vain.]

"You just realized you sacrificed yourself for nothing, and you're still so optimistic."

[Black Widow Vermouth looked at Captain Rogers and spoke, her tone slightly teasing. Captain Rogers, seeing the teasing tone, knew that Black Widow Vermouth's mood had eased considerably, and he smiled and said...]

"I'm happy as long as I know who my opponent is."

"I've made some breakfast; you can have this simple, homely meal."

At this moment, Kiri Shinji walked to the door, leaned against the doorframe, and joked before turning and leaving.

The question now is, who within S.H.I.E.L.D. has the authority to directly order a missile launch?
