It's possible that Sato Genichi truly learned from the Fukuda family's mistakes.

None of the family's wealth, as it is known, is in this old house.

The real assets are probably somewhere else.

"What did you sweep up?"

Seventeen, with her two little hands behind her back, said in a clear and distinct voice, "Host, host."

"I found a warehouse address. They're using a code word; this place is definitely not ordinary. It's appearing very frequently."

"In the eastern suburbs, near the foot of the mountain."

"I reckon the Sato family's most prized possessions have been kept there all these years."

Jiang Zhiyu's lips curled slightly: "Then what are we waiting for?"

"Before they can react."

"Go and collect it quickly."

"Walk."

Jiang Zhiyu closed her eyes.

A flash of light and shadow.

---

The two landed on a sloping hillside with dense trees at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs.

Jiang Zhiyu had just raised her eyes.

His eyebrows then twitched.

What I see here doesn't look like a warehouse at all.

It's clearly a prison.

High walls, barbed wire, and watchtowers.

Two searchlights on the top of the tower shone down, their beams sweeping in circles through the night.

There was a sentry post every ten meters or so along the corner of the wall.

The people standing at the sentry post were all dressed in black combat uniforms.

Jiang Zhiyu's spiritual power spread out.

They probed it inch by inch.

His eyebrows gradually furrowed.

"Mercenary."

Her voice was very low.

"More than seventy people in total."

Seventeen gasped, "The host's race is all different."

"The Sato family certainly has a wide variety of pets."

Jiang Zhiyu's gaze swept across the gaps between the mercenaries.

"There are ninjas lurking in the shadows."

"At least one hundred and fifty."

Seventeen's wings drooped down with a "thud": "Oh my god."

"So meticulously planned."

"There must be so many good things hidden inside!"

Jiang Zhiyu's interest grew even stronger.

"The more carefully it's hidden."

"The more clearly it's explained, the more it should be accepted."

Seventeen leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Host, don't dawdle this time. I'll teleport in, you collect it immediately, and then we'll leave. We can look at it slowly when we get back."

Jiang Zhiyu gave a faint "hmm".

"You little system, when did you become so verbose?"

Seventeen, pouting, said, "I'm doing this for your own good. Let's go, let's go."

Jiang Zhiyu's lips curved slightly.

Eyelashes droop.

---

A flash of light and shadow.

Jiang Zhiyu opened her eyes again—

The person was already standing in the center of a storage area at the deepest part of the warehouse.

Jiang Zhiyu glanced around and found that all four sides were chest-high shelves and rows of wooden crates.

next moment.

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah! Waaaah!"

A piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the warehouse.

The sound was so loud that the ground shook.

Seventeen's silver wings snapped open with a "whoosh": "Host, you're in trouble!"

"This place—"

"This place has gravity sensors!"

"It triggered the moment you landed!"

Jiang Zhiyu did not panic.

She merely raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Gravity sensing, that's pretty impressive! Has Xiao Rizi really gotten this good at it?"

She slowly glanced around at the warehouse area, which was piled high with goods.

"We absolutely must take what's inside."

Jiang Zhiyu turned her gaze over.

Seventeen.

"Have you forgotten that we still have one more skill we haven't used?"

Seventeen was stunned for a moment.

Then it let out a "whoosh" and flapped its little wings.

"Oh dear, host!!"

Time stands still!

"I completely forgot about it!"

It had barely finished speaking.

The entire warehouse in the next second—

Complete silence.

The alarm stopped abruptly.

The footsteps of the mercenaries running towards them in the distance also stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Seventeen's voice was clear and crisp: "Host, hurry up, it's still five minutes."

Jiang Zhiyu said no more.

She turned around.

With a gentle lift of the fingertip—

The three rows of shelves in the center of the warehouse area.

Along with all the wooden crates, metal crates, and sealed barrels mentioned above.

It entered the space silently.

second row.

Third row.

Jiang Zhiyu moved extremely quickly.

I don't care what it is.

Anyway, it's something that's hidden in these military warehouses.

There are definitely no cheap items.

Take them home and choose at your leisure.

---

Two minutes.

The entire warehouse consists of more than a dozen independent storage areas.

Jiang Zhiyu completely took them in.

Only a few mercenaries and ninjas remained frozen in mid-air, still in the same positions they had when they rushed in.

"Seventeen, are there any more nearby?"

"I just glanced at it."

"There are no other large warehouses within a 5-kilometer radius."

"Then let's retreat."

Jiang Zhiyu raised her chin.

"And while we're at it, let's take over the Koizumi family too."

Seventeen paused, then asked, "The Koizumi family?"

Jiang Zhiyu's gaze grew cold.

"Aren't they the ones who love to help the Fukuda family and the Onmyōryō the most?"

"Okay then."

"Starting tonight."

"Any family that has any connection to Fukuda or the Onmyōryō."

"They all have to turn into this grotesque mess."

"I'd like to see."

"Who would dare to get involved with this company in the future?"

Seventeen's wings fluttered in my mind.

"Host……"

"That's a good move; cutting off their supply lines is indeed quite ruthless."

Jiang Zhiyu gave a cold smile.

"If you can't speak properly, don't use words carelessly. How can that be considered insulting?"

"That's called 'cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots.'"

"That old man Xu Yunzi said the Yin-Yang Bureau's fate was sealed, yet it's still thrashing around here. It's just that I haven't done enough."

"This trip."

"I'll settle this score today."

"Kill them all."

Seventeen tucked his wings in: "I understand, I understand."

"I was being superficial."

"The host is a man of great foresight."

"Walk."

Jiang Zhiyu lowered her eyelashes.

A flash of light and shadow.

The two figures disappeared in the center of the reservoir area.

The freeze in time is broken in the next second.

"call--"

The mercenary, who had been frozen in place, collapsed to the ground.

He looked up and was suddenly struck by the empty reservoir area before him.

He froze instantly.

"Ka-san?!!"

When Jiang Zhiyu stood at the foot of the mountain, the mountain was already in complete uproar.

The alarm bells are ringing louder and louder.

Immediately afterwards—

The high walls halfway up the mountain were brightly lit.

Jiang Zhiyu stood in a dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

I turned around and glanced back from a distance.

She ran her fingertips over a stray strand of hair behind her ear and gently tugged at it.

"Why."

"It's quite lively."

Seventeen's wings twitched: "Host! Stop watching the show, let's hurry to the Koizumi family. This time, the Koizumi family is following the same rule: don't watch the show, just collect the goods."

Jiang Zhiyu chuckled, "Okay, okay."

"Too verbose."

The same method.

Jiang Zhiyu and Shiqi visited the Koizumi family again overnight.

Study, dark room, secret storeroom.

As expected of an old family that is top-notch in terms of living standards.

The three locations yielded a bountiful harvest.

There were even a few pieces of wartime loot that looked extremely unclean.

Jiang Zhiyu didn't stand on ceremony at all.

Not a single one was left.

They took them all.

When she came out of the Koizumi family's secret vault again.

The streetlights on both sides of the road cast warm glows, silently guarding this city that is about to awaken.

Jiang Zhiyu slowly exhaled and rubbed her aching lower back.

"Ugh! I'm exhausted, this whole night has been a nightmare."

Seventeen blurted out cheekily, "Host... how about another one?"

Jiang Zhiyu glared at it, annoyed.

"Back at the hotel, I'll check what treasures I've collected after I wake up."

"Alright, host."

Seventeen's silver light swirled around her ear.

"You go to sleep first."

"I'll sort and organize everything in our space one by one."

"You can see the list when you wake up."

Jiang Zhiyu's lips curled slightly. The little system is getting better and better!
