He's a crossover character in anime/manga, and basically just very despicable.

Even though she didn't know if she would be able to get out.

"Lord Ninghua, water."

"OK, thanks."

Raising her swan-like, white, and slender neck, Snow Flower begins to drink water—

"Ok?"

Looking at the nearly empty water bottle in her hand, Yukinoshita Reika instinctively sensed something was wrong.

The water hadn't even touched my lips yet, how could it be—

"It's terrible, Lady Ninghua! Xuewu has disappeared!"

Oh no, that's the feeling—

"Hyōshi-kun!!!"

Why did they arrive so quickly this time!

The tiny hotel was like the belly of a viper.

Sadness is flowing;

Fear is growing;

Despair is being unleashed to its fullest extent.

The remaining magicians are four.

"Squeak squeak squeak—"

Several monkeys swarmed up from behind and pounced on a magician.

Amidst screams of agony, flesh and blood fall into the stomach, where food cannot be digested.

The remaining magicians are three.

Step, step, step.

The sound of leather shoes on the floor was like the devil tolling a death knell.

"Now, only a few of you are left."

Use your lives to make this city—

Let things get chaotic!

P.S.: Someone asked before, "Does the main character make money by selling milk tea?"

Do you know now?

The protagonist is a villain who does everything except poison and human trafficking.

Aside from never betraying friends and subordinates and keeping promises, he is a morally bankrupt scoundrel.

He's a bit better than Diablo, but he's not exactly a good person either.

Do people actually like watching this kind of protagonist?

Chapter 44 The Yukinoshita Family Collapse Plan Begins! (3200 words)

"So much time has passed, why haven't Ninghua and the others returned yet?"

In the spacious Japanese-style room, Shizuka Yukinoshita knelt down, sipping tea as she asked a question.

"Perhaps Kurosaki Azami is too cunning, and the lords have not been able to find him for the time being."

The secretary bowed her head and answered respectfully.

He has been sent to the Yukinoshita family by Kurosaki Azami for three years.

The reason he was able to gain Shizuka Yukinoshita's trust in such a short time was because he was originally Shizuka Yukinoshita's husband and Yukinoshita Harutaka's subordinate.

She was first turned by Azami Kurosaki, and then bought off by Shizuka Yukinoshita.

She is a double agent of the Yukinoshita Family and the Passionate Organization.

Harutaka Yukinoshita, whose original name was Harutaka Ogino, was a member of a collateral branch of the Ogino family. He changed his surname and married Shizuka Yukinoshita as part of a marriage alliance.

Because his magical abilities weren't particularly impressive, although the Yukinoshita family pushed him into politics and made him a prefectural assemblyman, he was constantly looked down upon within the Yukinoshita family.

After Ogino Akiaki's death at the hands of Kurosaki Azami, Yukino Harutaka, whose only backer had also vanished, could only maintain a facade of respectability.

If this book were a more traditional "show-off and face-slapping" story, it would be about Ogino Harutaka, who, three years later, has transformed into the crooked-mouthed war god, the Silver Dragon King, collecting a harem of beauties along the way, battling Japanese tycoons, enjoying the company of beautiful women, and finally waking up to seize power over the world.

Unfortunately, this book is a slice-of-life story about a scumbag from the human world who wants to go to heaven.

"In my opinion, after a while, you gentlemen will be able to return in triumph."

"That's good. By the way, where's Harutaka?"

"Ever since the Ogino family was destroyed, Lord Harutaka has been drowning his sorrows in alcohol and has even stopped practicing magic."

"He's probably drowning his sorrows in Ginza right now..."

----------------at the same time-------------------

Hell, in a room at the Monkey Hotel.

"Waaaaah... Waaaah... Waaah..."

Terrible, terrifying.

That Kurosaki Azami... how could that be...?

His two men were covered in wounds from the monkeys, and their internal organs were still moving in some of the wounds.

Yukinoshita Ningka was tied up and thrown on the ground, with a rag stuffed in her mouth.

He had difficulty breathing, couldn't even bite his tongue to commit suicide, and couldn't mobilize any of his magic power.

Not to mention passing the intelligence to the family.

She doesn't have such powerful communication magic.

"Alright, we can move on to the next step."

The black-haired devil snapped his fingers from the armchair in front of him.

"I suddenly had a fantastic idea..."

Head Chef!

The monkey chef, who had once hunted down Kurosaki Azami, quickly appeared and bowed slightly to him.

"Your knife skills seem to be the best here, right?"

nod.

"That's good."

Kurosaki Azami stood up and pulled Yukinoshita Ningka over.

Two fishhooks got caught on Yukinoshita Ningka's eyelids, making it impossible for her to close her eyes.

"Next up is a spectacular knife skills demonstration, this lady—"

Please don't close your eyes.

————————————————The Crimson King—————————————————

"Boss, a cocktail, please. I'll use vodka as the base, with extra vanilla extract and caramel... Money is no object."

In a bar in Ginza, a middle-aged man is drunkenly ordering drinks.

"Okay, guest."

The base of this cocktail is already high-alcohol vodka, plus a rich vanilla sauce and caramel. This guest probably doesn't want to walk out upright today.

If a single woman were to order this drink, the bartender would definitely stop her.

But the man in front of me looked very wealthy and powerful, and he must have had a driver with him, so I had no scruples. Who would turn down money?

"Hello, I'd like a mojito."

A young woman walked into the bar and sat down next to a middle-aged man named Harutaka Yukinoshita.

Although she wears trendy makeup and a sweet smile, if you get closer and look into her eyes, you'll find that there's not a single sparkle in them.

It was as if he had lost all hope in the world, his energy and spirit completely gone, like a puppet.

"Uncle, you'll get drunk very easily if you keep doing this."

"I know......."

The sake arrived, and Harutaka Yukinoshita picked up the glass, downed it in one gulp, and then shouted in a voice thick with alcohol and sugar, "Another one!"

"Uncle, if you keep drinking like that, your wife and kids will get annoyed..."

"You know nothing!!"

After a furious rebuke, the drunken Harutaka Yukinoshita burst into tears.

"Labor and management... have long since lost their dignity..."

"Not to mention my wife, even my eldest daughter looks down on me in her heart..."

"Ever since my family died, even the servants in the house dare to look down on me behind my back..."

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

"The eldest son in the family is dead, and the rest of the family has all run away. That damned woman even dares to have people watching me, afraid I'll do something despicable..."

"If it weren't for my youngest daughter, I would have committed suicide long ago..."

At this moment, Harutaka under the snow really looks like a dog.

An old dog howling.

"Uncle, just like you said before, isn't there still someone who loves you?"

Do you want to upset your youngest daughter?

"Hiccup...you're right..."
