Two hours later, in the meeting room of the Sheqi Eight Families.

"Eri ran away again?"

"It seems the child has grown up, always yearning for the outside world. I just don't know how long she can hold on this time."

"By the way, Chisei, did you send Crow and the others to follow them?"

"Eri's personality is really worrying."

Although he said that, Tachibana Masamune's expression did not change much; he remained as calm and collected as ever.

This is largely thanks to Erii's past habit of sneaking out to play on her own, only to be brought back after running a short distance.

So after running away, Tachibana Masamune didn't pay too much attention to it.

Of course, this was because Genji had concealed crucial information from him.

If that old guy knew that Erii had developed an extraordinary mature personality, he would probably be so anxious that he would issue an arrest warrant right now and start frantically searching for Erii's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Genjiro also took this opportunity to secretly observe his father.

Although the white-haired Erii revealed the inside story to him, he still found it hard to believe that his kind and gentle father was actually the mastermind behind the cholera outbreak throughout Japan.

If we deny Tachibana Masamune, then what is the meaning of his life over the past ten years?

Killing one's brother, imprisoning one's sister, and persecuting innocent people who were brutally experimented on?

Thinking of this, Genjiro unconsciously clenched his hands inside his sleeves.

But his expression remained calm as he answered Tachibana Masamune with composure.

"Dad, don't worry."

"I've already sent Crow and Sakura to follow Erii, there won't be any problems."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Masamune nodded in satisfaction and continued processing the documents in his hands.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the Ginza shopping district.

The first thing Erii did after leaving the Snake Clan was to use her powerful mental manipulation to start a zero-dollar shopping spree with Erii.

We bought whatever food and drink we saw along the way, accepting anything offered.

Although Erii was very uneasy about the white-haired Erii not paying for the things she bought, it also allowed Erii, who rarely came into contact with the outside world, to have a great time shopping.

After finishing the last sip of her milkshake, Erii rubbed her slightly protruding belly and showed a satisfied expression.

Seeing Erii's expression, the white-haired Erii couldn't help but shake her head with amusement.

"Did you enjoy your meal?"

"Hehe, I'm so satisfied!"

"So, are you planning to continue shopping, or do you want to find a place to stay for tonight?"

"I want to try an internet cafe hotel!"

As she spoke, Erii held up a flyer she had received while shopping.

The above is a newly opened internet cafe hotel.

Looking at the flyer, I saw the words "24-hour entertainment, accommodation, games, comics, all-in-one experience, 20% off everything for the grand opening."

The white-haired Erii agreed without much hesitation.

"Okay, then we'll stay at the internet cafe hotel tonight."

"There are so many things you haven't experienced yet, let's do them one by one!"

"Yay!"

Erii cheered with joy.

Then, under the guidance of the white-haired Erii, she began to search for the location of the internet cafe.

However, just as she was passing through an alley, three thugs with exaggerated earrings and shady appearances blocked Erii's path.

They brazenly looked Erii up and down, their faces lewd.

"Hey! Pretty little sister, where are you going?"

"Playing alone must be boring, right? Why don't you let your brothers come and keep you company?"

As the blond thug spoke, he took a quick step forward and reached out to grab Erii's arm.

Erii instinctively took a step back, looking timidly at the three of them, her golden eyes flickering uncontrollably.

"Coward, change!"

Upon seeing this, the white-haired Erii's voice suddenly turned cold, and she immediately switched control of the body with Erii.

Then, in the next moment, to the astonishment of the three thugs, Erii's long red hair slowly turned white, and her originally soft eyes suddenly became sharp.

Locked onto by those gilded golden eyes, the three thugs froze instantly, then simultaneously revealed expressions of terror.

"A monster...?!"

The three thugs' sharp, piercing voices echoed rapidly through the alley.

Hair suddenly turning white and pupils suddenly turning gold—this is clearly not something a normal human being could do.

So the three thugs realized they had bitten off more than they could chew.

Looking at the three trembling thugs in front of her, the white-haired Erii revealed an expression of utter disgust.

Keeping such social scum in front of her was simply an eyesore.

"You guys just said you wanted to play with me?"

The white-haired Erii spoke softly, but each word felt like an ice bead hitting the three thugs on the head.

At the same time, the "Judgment" that she had been suppressing also revealed a trace of power, gently cutting dozens of not-so-light wounds on the faces of the three thugs.

Feeling the stinging pain on their faces, the three thugs were so frightened that they simultaneously knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Spare us! Please let us go!"

Enveloped by the murderous intent of the white-haired Erii, the three thugs quickly broke down, screaming and begging for Erii's forgiveness.

But the white-haired Erii looked at them kowtowing, her golden eyes remained completely unmoved, and she coldly uttered the word "death."

In the next instant, the three thugs turned into a pool of blood and were cut into minced meat.

After killing the three, the white-haired Erii did not look at their pitiful corpses, lest Erii in the mental space be traumatized.

Then, the white-haired Erii quickly crossed the alley and left the place.

"Hey, you coward?"

Back on the street, Erii showed no reaction for a long time.

The white-haired Erii immediately sent a telepathic message to Erii, wanting to see if the other party was frightened.

At first, the white-haired Erii was a little worried that Erii might have been frightened by her cruel methods and hidden away.

But as she probed her mental space, she discovered that Erii was leisurely playing a game inside.

Seeing Erii's appearance, the white-haired Erii realized that Erii was once a combat weapon and a humanoid dragon trained by the Snake Clan. How could she be afraid just because her human body was cut up?

It's important to understand that Erii had been imprisoned for so long that she hadn't even developed a normal set of values. So how could the deaths of three thugs possibly cause her any psychological distress?

The child's previous timid and hesitant demeanor was simply due to shyness.

Even if the white-haired Erii hadn't intervened, those three guys would probably have been chopped into mincemeat by Judgment.

Seeing that Erii had started the game mode, the white-haired Erii was too lazy to switch back to her body.

Stepping back into the shopping district of Ginza, I headed towards the internet cafe hotel featured on the flyer.
