I became the emperor in the comic book series.

Then, Higashino Akira dodged it, lightly slapped the umbrella away, and then scooped it up in a waist-drum shape with his buttocks facing forward, slapping it on the small, perky taillight.

"Well…"

Little Mary couldn't help but make an embarrassing sound.

After that, Higashino Akira tossed him lightly onto the sofa next to him.

Hanako, who had watched the entire smooth process, opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

I want to curse!

Is this teammate even human?

I told her what she should do, but she just wouldn't listen. Now she's rebelling. Are you trying to play me?

You little brat! I'm going to report you!

In less than a minute, apart from the room being a little messy and some broken furniture and tableware, there was no other damage, and it was easily fixed.

Akira Higashino clapped his hands, no longer restraining his own characteristics. The faint sense of oppression and extraordinary charm brought by his spiritual attribute of up to thirty points were released. In the psychic perspective, the manifestation of his divine side was also revealed.

In an instant, Hanako and the human-faced dog's pupils contracted sharply, in disbelief.

So...suny! ! ?

"I have a compassionate heart. If a child still has value and can be recycled, I generally won't give up on them completely, as long as they haven't committed an unforgivable crime."

"So, in the end, there will only be one outcome for you: to become my subordinates. Choose one of two options: either submit willingly and I will give you what you want, or fight your way to submission."

Upon hearing this, the human-faced dog looked away with a frustrated expression. "I'll fight until they submit, provided that you don't use those despicable methods you just used!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a fist swept past her and slammed into the wooden floor in front of her. The floor cracked and shattered instantly. The fist was only millimeters away from the tip of her nose, almost grazing her face.

The human-faced dog froze, its legs instinctively tucking its tail between its legs, and it swallowed hard.

"I...I submit..."

Chapter 138 I've Subdued an Urban Legend!

[Imperial conferment successful!]

[Name: Human-Faced Dog]

[Qualification: Dark Purple]

[Cleric duties:]

[Gain +3 Freedom Attributes, +3000 Daily Energy]

"That's right, good dog."

The icy expression on Higashino Akira's face melted instantly, and he gently rubbed the human-faced dog's head, paying special attention to its animal ears.

Instinctively, the human-faced dog wagged its tail contentedly.

Then, realizing what was happening, I felt a bit frustrated and stopped.

She stood up and looked at the three urban legends beside her—no, to be precise, two, since Little Mary was a spy who had already surrendered.

"So, it's your turn. Which one do you choose?"

Upon hearing this, the expression on the slit-mouthed woman's face suddenly turned deathly. She hadn't expected that the Avengers team she had assembled would be so useless, being wiped out in just a few moves.

Even I got infected.

Higashino Akira looked at her. "We've known each other for a long time. All of this started because you wanted to attack me. Miss Slit-Mouthed Woman, do you have anything else to say?"

The Slit-Mouthed Woman silently closed her eyes. "No further words, please make your move quickly."

Anyway, I won't die. At worst, I'll just be considered as being chewed up by a dog.

Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira turned his gaze to Hanako, who was standing to the side. Unexpectedly, she was even more defiant and turned her face away without saying a word before he could even speak.

Higashino Akira smiled, stepped forward, picked them both up in his arms, and walked towards the bedroom.

Behind her, Miss Mary, who was pretending to be dead on the sofa as a spy, panicked. She quickly turned her back to her group of girlfriends and winked at the man, signaling him to ask her if she was willing to surrender and finish the act, otherwise she would be exposed.

Seeing this, Higashino Akira immediately understood, picked her up as well, and carried her on his shoulder.

"Wait...wait..."

"I admit it! I admit it too!"

Startled by the sudden action, and seeing the bedroom getting closer and closer, Miss Mary panicked at the thought of the treatment she would receive. Her petite body began to wriggle on Higashino Akira's shoulder.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Hanako, who had been keeping quiet and maintaining a tough demeanor, broke down and started yelling, "Shut up, you idiot! If you hadn't disobeyed orders, we wouldn't be in this mess. You were the one who suggested getting revenge on this guy, and you're not allowed to submit!"

"No! I want to submit!"

Miss Mary's voice was tinged with a sob.

However, the door slammed shut, extinguishing her last hope.

Akira Higashino threw the Slit-Mouthed Woman, Hanako, and Mary onto the large bed. Standing by the bed, he began to help them undress, being skilled at disguising people.

The slit-mouthed woman gave a bitter laugh and remained silent. At least this time she had two comrades with her, so it couldn't be any harder than last time.

Suddenly with a gun pointed at her, Hanako's eyes widened, and she panicked.

"Hey...you! What are you doing?!"

"Corporal punishment for disobedient children."

"Why...why do I have to take my clothes off!"

Higashino smiled but didn't speak, instead responding with actions.

Hanako suddenly tilted her head back slightly, straightened her back, tensed her legs, clenched her toes tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Waaaaah... Absolutely! I won't let you get away with this!"

Higashino Akira remained silent, only giving his all.

Like a farmer, sweating profusely, working from sunrise to sunset.

It wasn't until evening that Higashino Akira emerged from the messy bedroom, supporting his back.

Unexpectedly, the strongest fighter was not the Slit-Mouthed Woman with the best and smoothest figure, or Little Mary, who was clean all over because she had a doll body and could attack the upper, middle and lower body separately. These two strange creatures had already been through this before.

Instead, she still looks like a young girl, with a moderate figure and a gloomy face.

He single-handedly broke through five passes and killed three generals, but was unexpectedly defeated by her.

Fortunately, Akira Higashino has good athletic performance and can be considered a semi-athlete. He has a sunny and cheerful personality, and his success today is inseparable from his daily efforts and hard work.

After sharing enough sunlight with the extremely gloomy Hanako, she finally became radiant, and even her original gloomy temperament and dark circles under her eyes were moisturized by the sunlight and disappeared.

[Emperor: Akira Higashino]

[Spirit: 34]

[Constitution: 21]

[...]

In the living room, the human-faced dog, having surrendered in advance and escaped disaster, knew nothing but the 'screams' of its kind that had been echoing all day. Upon seeing Higashino Akira's figure, it immediately trembled and quickly sat up straight.

Higashino Akira glanced at her but ignored her.

After working all day, I was exhausted and felt sticky all over. I went straight into the bathroom to wash up and take the opportunity to experience the bonuses brought by the further improvement in my physical attributes.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he glanced at Hanako and the others, who were sprawled out on the large bed in the bedroom, and beckoned the human-faced dog over, patting her head.

"Look after them, take them to get a bath."

"Ok!"

"Don't run around anymore. This house is for you few to live in and use as a base for living. Pay attention to hygiene and don't make a mess of it."

As he spoke, Higashino Akira glanced at the human-faced dog whose overall appearance resembled that of an exhibitionist cosplayer, "And by the way, have them pick out a few outfits for you. You'll be an owner's dog from now on. We're not short of money, there's no need to be so shabby. Wear something nice."

After explaining everything, Akira Higashino left the house alone and walked gracefully into the darkness.

…………

Outside a mid-range apartment building in the darkness.

A certain being gazed quietly at that building, seemingly able to see through the vast distance and into the scene inside through the windows.

Footsteps suddenly came from behind.

A little girl's voice suddenly rang out, "The people we sent out to monitor and interfere with that company that was buying houses and land everywhere are all dead."

"Not a single one escaped back."

Upon hearing this, the person who had been quietly gazing at the apartment building in the distance withdrew their gaze. "It's a failure. Let's leave it at that for now. Anyway, we didn't expect those useless people to be of much use. We have a new target here. After things are settled here, we'll go and meet that gentleman."

Behind him, the little girl who had just walked over added, "And the Slit-Mouthed Woman, she's also missing."

"It doesn't matter. At worst, we can just create another Slit-Mouthed Woman. She's not important. As long as the urban legend she gave birth to is still under control, that's fine."

"They're gone too."

The other person turned around abruptly, "What?"

"The urban legend that was used to induce the birth of the Slit-Mouthed Woman has been deactivated and can no longer be used."

Before he could reply, the little girl continued, "And all the decorations we made at the dragon vein nodes, and the spirits on the properties that the company bought, were also taken away."

Upon hearing this, the person who had remained calm and composed, seemingly confident of victory, finally broke down. The faint smile on his face vanished, and his gaze met that of the expressionless little girl.

All my emotions finally condensed into one word in my heart: 'Damn!'

..............................

..............................

P.S.: The next chapter will be a little later.

Chapter 139 is here.

It's a pity that the Human-faced Dog and the Slit-Mouthed Woman's aptitude didn't reach the gold level, especially the Slit-Mouthed Woman, whose aptitude was already at the deep purple level after being conferred the title, just one small stage away from the gold level.

Hanako was even more promising than Little Mary. Miss Mary's original aptitude was only dark purple, but after being conferred a title, she climbed a small step to reach light purple, and then her aptitude turned into gold. After being conferred a title, she became a true gold.

Although both are in the gold stage and the system rewards them the same, seniority is still seniority.

Qualification only represents the current overall evaluation and upper limit. Although the subsequent rewards are gone, Higashino Akira still has enough faith power to continue accumulating. With enough resources, they can always break through their limits and strive to reach a higher level in the future.

Ultimately, it comes down to whether it's worth it. Otherwise, those white-quality wandering souls can also be trained, but you won't get any rewards and you'll have to spend a lot of resources to train them, which is too much of a loss.

The launch and success of "Okumizome Story" has driven a series of industrial chains, allowing Yunmeng Group's recruitment and naturalization business, which had slowed down due to setbacks, to return to a stage of rapid development, especially in the logistics and delivery industry, where there is a lot of room to fill positions.

The total number of subjects has now exceeded 15,000 and continues to increase.

The limitation on Higashino Akira's ability to bestow titles upon subordinate gods is no longer the number of times he can do so, but rather the inability to encounter non-human beings with the lowest possible blue stats who can provide him with attribute values ​​from the system to enhance himself.

Recruiting people one by one or replacing subordinates from training courses at night markets is ultimately too slow.

Perhaps he could try starting a Boss Zhipin (a job recruitment platform) to test this out.

.........

The following morning.

Akira Higashino accompanied Mai Sakurajima, who had just returned from the film set, to school to handle her leave application. After all, her next semester was starting in two days, and she was also filming "Your Name," so she had to take leave.

He was thinking about his own and Yunmeng Group's future development plans.

As for Mai Sakurajima, she didn't care about taking leave so close to college entrance exams. On one hand, her academic performance was already quite good, and on the other hand, even if she failed, it would be easy for her to get into an art-related major with lower score requirements.

After walking out of the teaching building and leaving the campus, she arrived at the car parked outside the school gate. The driver, who had been waiting for a long time, opened the car door for her and waited for her to get in before closing the door and returning to the driver's seat.

Looking at the young man sitting beside her, lost in thought, Mai Sakurajima asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

Upon hearing this, Higashino Akira snapped out of his reverie and smiled at her.

"I was wondering if Mai-san would miss me since we wouldn't be able to meet for such a long time."

"Of course not."

I'm getting jealous.
