Apocalyptic Crossover: Starting with a Guide to Winning Over Asuna

Chapter 44 Grand Banquet

Lu Xiao arrived at the fifth block.

This area is a wealthy neighborhood with luxurious villas, each guarded by security personnel to prevent zombie intrusion.

That evening, a grand banquet was held at the mansion of a wealthy family.

The banquet hosted many wealthy people and nobles.

The purpose of holding this banquet was twofold: first, to display one's wealth, and second, to cultivate relationships.

However, what they didn't know was that the banquet had attracted the attention of ghouls.

Takizawa Seidou, the "Owl" of the Aogiri Tree organization, and the three "Bottle Brothers" have infiltrated the banquet.

During the banquet, Yanai Tadashi raised his glass, a greasy smile plastered on his face, and deliberately raised his voice, drowning out the melodious violin music in the room: "Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to grace my humble abode! Tonight, the Yanai family has some big news to announce!"

He paused, then continued, "Starting tomorrow, I will take over all logistics and food supplies for the West District! As long as the Yanai family is here, everyone in the Fifth District will never lack food or clothing! This toast is to the prosperity of humanity, and to order!"

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the room, and the wealthy men raised their glasses in agreement, their eyes filled with hope for a "stable" future.

But no one noticed that in that brightly lit, shadowy corner, three pairs of eyes were as cold as ice.

Takizawa Seidou stood at the edge of the banquet hall, his ghoul eyes beneath his white hair slightly bloodshot, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing his blackened nails. He held a glass of red wine, his gaze sweeping over the elegantly dressed people, a twisted and cold smile curving his lips.

The next second, the wine glass in Takizawa Seidou's hand shattered with a "crack".

The piercing sound instantly silenced the noise in the entire venue for a moment.

All eyes turned to the out-of-place white-haired boy.

Yanai Tadashi frowned, his expression a mixture of impatience and disdain: "Sir, you—"

Before he could finish speaking, Takizawa Seidou suddenly looked up, his ghoul eyes flashing brightly.

"Then let me show you what true order is."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

The slaughter began.

In fact, Tadashi Yanai is also a ghoul.

He entrenched himself in the Fifth District, using his wealthy status to conceal his identity, secretly gathering followers, and single-mindedly seeking to develop his own power, refusing to submit to the Bronze Tree.

In Gao Gaiquan's eyes, this kind of outcast who refused to submit was a poisonous thorn that had to be removed.

So tonight, they sent three people to cause trouble and demonstrate the power of the Bronze Tree.

Screams and screams filled the air as the exquisite food was stained with blood and the gorgeous dresses were torn to shreds. What was originally a sweet and peaceful banquet had turned into a bloody killing spree.

The Bottle Brothers struck first, their two blue tails shooting out into the air, and security personnel and innocent guests fell to the ground one after another, completely powerless to resist.

Yanai Tadashi's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Damn Aogiri Tree!"

He roared, and a thick kagune suddenly burst forth from his back as he assumed a fighting stance.

However, the next second, the SS-rank ghoul Takizawa Seidou arrived beside him.

"From the moment you rejected the Bronze Tree, your fate was sealed."

Takizawa Seidou's kagune pierced Yanai Tadashi's kagune, and Yanai Tadashi fell down with resentment in his eyes.

His plans had just begun to take shape when he quietly perished.

The slaughter lasted for more than twenty minutes. After devouring several humans of decent strength, the three pushed open the door, intending to swagger away.

Right at the door, the three of them saw a man in a black uniform leaning against a motorcycle, holding a long sword that looked like a venomous snake.

[Takizawa Seidou, member of the Aogiri Tree organization, codename "Owl," SS-rank Ukagaku + Kokukagaku Ghoul, high-speed ranged attack + high-defense regeneration, level 27.]

[The Bottle Brothers, members of the Aogiri Tree organization, codenamed "Tail Brothers," S-rank tail kagune, skilled in dual-attack combos, fast, level 22.]

Lu Xiao stubbed out his cigarette: "Finally out. The dinner was quite good!"

The killing intent emanating from Lu Xiao made the three of them tense.

"Who are you?" Takizawa Seidou asked.

"You just destroyed my house and you don't recognize me anymore? Former CCG investigator, Mr. Takizawa Seidou."

"Lu Xiao!"

Takizawa Seidou frowned. The night before, he had followed the leader to attack Lu Xiao's residence.

At that time, Lu Xiao's strength was already very powerful. In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, Takatsuki Sen even summoned the Servant Gilgamesh.

However, in the end, they failed to kill it; they only killed its clone.

He didn't expect revenge to come so quickly.

Bottle Brothers: "No need to waste time talking to him, let's go!"

The bottle brothers rushed in quickly, attacking from both sides.

Just as they were about to reach Lu Xiao, a graceful figure appeared, wielding a Crimson Bone Whip, and repelled the two of them.

Lu Xiao's follower, Miao Rao, appeared with a wild smile on her face.

With 360's combat power, it's more than enough to deal with the Bottle Brothers.

"As expected, you were also a participant in the Holy Grail War."

Takizawa Seidou frowned, and several crystalline objects unfolded on his back, resembling wings or sharp blades.

These feathers can be launched at high speeds and can also be used for close-quarters combat cutting.

Just as Takizawa Seidou was about to launch an attack, he felt a tremendous sense of crisis coming from behind him.

A bullet whizzed through the air, and Takizawa Seidou quickly spread his katana to block it.

The Annihilation Bullet pierced through his Kagune, but also changed its trajectory, passing by the Kagune pod and startling Takizawa Seidou into breaking out in a cold sweat.

Is anyone else there?

Takizawa Seidou looked towards the rooftop in the distance, where a sniper rifle was aimed at him.

Meanwhile, the Bottle Brothers launched another attack on Miao Rao.

However, Miao Rao simply smiled and activated her charm skill.

In an instant, the bottle brothers stopped what they were doing.

Lao Rao gave the order: "Kill each other."

The bottle brothers slowly turned around and looked at each other. Their last shred of reason told them not to kill each other.

However, my body still wouldn't cooperate.

The two brothers plunged their short swords into each other's genitals, blood splattered, and both perished.

Takizawa Seidou's expression changed drastically. He knew he was no match for these people. At this moment, he had no desire to fight and only wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible.

With the aid of the Feathered Kagami, Takizawa Seidou's speed became incredibly fast.

boom!

Another bullet came flying, and Takizawa Seidou quickly dodged it. However, the magical energy attached to the bullet exploded, sending him flying several meters away and greatly slowing him down.

Just as he stood up, a chilling killing intent appeared beside him.

Lu Xiao, wielding the Serpent Fang Sword, slashed at his hem from the side.

Upon seeing this, Takizawa Seidou immediately launched the feathers from his back, and a large number of feathers flew out like sharp swords.

At the critical moment, Lu Xiao activated the skill "Ackerman's Wrath," causing all his attributes to surge and allowing him to dodge all attacks.

At the same time, a single War Stomp immobilized Takizawa Seidou.

"Tell me Gao Gaiquan's whereabouts, and I'll let you go," Lu Xiao said softly.

"Impossible! I would never betray the leader!" Takizawa Seidou struggled, trying to recover his strength.

"Understood."

A flash of cold light streaked across the sky, and Takizawa Seidou's kagune was severed.
