"We have not received a reply to the email we sent to Azami Kurosaki requesting the introduction of new students."

Kirari Momobami listened to Ririka Momobami's report without paying any attention.

“Kurosaki Azami isn’t stupid; he should know that even if the application isn’t approved, this group will still come…”

"Master Patriarch!"

A calm female voice sounded from outside the door.

"All the lords have arrived."

The gate opened, revealing a group of boys and girls dressed in bright red school uniforms.

"Msumi-sama Erimi, Komagna-sama Nozomi, Onaga-sama Rin-sama, and Tsuba-sama..."

A woman dressed as a man, wearing glasses, stepped forward to report.

"And me, the servant X-Ghoul Zero."

"The 'Hyakugami Family' consists of 11 representatives."

"—Everyone is here!"

Chapter 87 Prelude to Conflict (2800)

"Boss, we've found out where Representative Mei Chuan is!"

A burly man in black, wearing sunglasses, walked into a secluded corner of the bar, excitedly saying...

He will be heading to the port alone at 9 p.m. tonight!

"Is the information reliable, Vodka?"

The long-haired man turned around and looked at the vodka along with his two companions.

"The intelligence department's information has never been wrong!"

"That's good."

Gin gave a cold smile.

He was truly exhausted.

I don't know when it started, but there are so many spies in the organization that it's impossible to kill them all.

As an assassin trained by the organization from a young age, Gin has always been dedicated to eliminating traitors and spies to repay the Boss for his nurturing, but...

There are way too many undercover agents!!!

If it weren't for the deputy director of the intelligence department's keen sense of smell and timely information, I might have been killed by those bastards!

"Let's go check on that Sweet Potato guy. It's not good to always owe him favors."

"But 'sweet potato'? Did he pick that nickname himself? I laugh every time I think about it."

"Ah!"

The distillery's intelligence department, Sweet Potato, sneezed.

"Vice Minister, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I might have caught a bit of a cold, but it won't affect my work."

I wonder if the plan to lure Gin away using information from Representative Umekawa and ensure Lord Peter Wagan's safe return home will succeed...

However, even though Mei Chuannei isn't of much value, we can't let him die right now...

"I'm going to the restroom, you guys keep going."

Ten minutes later, the cleaner entered the restroom, swept away a few scraps of paper, and carried the trash can to the garbage truck.

"Lady Tsuji Aya's 'Cinderella' is about to expire again... Thankfully, the cleaners here don't change much, so they don't have to check our bodies."

"We must deliver this intelligence to Lord Joseph immediately..."

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

"You're the student council president?"

At the entrance of Hyakkaou Academy, a group of people blocked Kurosaki Azami's path. A tall boy with orange spiky hair and black tattoos on his neck shouted.

"we are........."

"The Hyakuba family, the hounds summoned by Momobami Kirari."

Did they really think Kurosaki Azami had no backup plan with Hyakkaou? He could still get this kind of information immediately.

"This is the King of Flowers; if you want to call it, go to the gambling table."

"Excuse me, President Kurosaki. My name is Rin Obiki. Nice to meet you."

A black-haired boy with orange hair and a spiky hairstyle walked out from behind and said something.

“This is my brother, Obi Ibaraki.”

Image: "Obi Ibaraki", Location: "Images/1644756034-100292271-108360074.jpg"

Although she was smiling, Rin Oogami was a little nervous inside.

As the heir to the Ogami family, whose business is based on "fraud," he could sense that this person's malice was even stronger than that of Momobami Kirari!

If Kirari Momobami is a tyrant who pursues pleasure and is willing to burn cities for her own amusement, then Azami Kurosaki is a demon who slaughters cities and destroys countries for profit!

"We hope to get one of our representatives to play a bet with you!"

The petite, legal Gothic Lolita girl walked forward carrying a toy caterpillar.

"Hmph... You're not qualified to bet with me."

Ignoring the well-hidden anger of the Hyakugaku clan, Kurosaki Azami pointed at Saotome Meari beside him.

"Let's play a game with her first."

[The host has abandoned his human identity and completely embraced the demon! Truly a heinous crime!]

[Crimson King's attributes are boosted as a reward!]

Aside from its double C-ranks in range and stamina, the Crimson King boasts platinum-standard stats in all other aspects, making it one of Kurosaki Azami's biggest gains after abandoning humanity!

"Moreover, the Crimson King's evolution doesn't stop there..."

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

"Yukino Yukinoshita, there is a mission for you to carry out."

Inside the Royal Guard base, Richie El called out to the aloof young woman.

"Tonight we're going to Fisherman's Port to protect Congressman Mei Chuan-nei; at the very least, we need to ensure he maintains a normal mental state and speech function."

As a shield for Stiepwagen, Meikawa Nei, whose attitude toward the enthusiastic organization was ambiguous, was far less important than the Minister of Industry, but the intelligence in his mind was still very important.

"This time your opponent is Gin, a top assassin from the 'Breakfast Company,' and his team. Be extremely careful."

"Although the rest of the bodyguards won't be deployed, the boss said he'll send a Stand user to secretly support you."

"This is information provided by Mr. Sweet Pottto. After reading it, do not keep a copy. Memorize it and burn it here."

"Yes, Captain."

Yukino Yukinoshita took the file and began to read it carefully.

"Through physical modification, his physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, and it can be confirmed that he possesses a flawed magic imprint mass-produced by the distillery."

Based on past mission records, could this magic mark further enhance his various senses and agility, perhaps even allowing him to deduce an opponent's attack methods from their muscle movements?

"Looks like I'll have to try that trick..."

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

"This prop is called the 'Finger Guillotine'!"

In the gambling room, Erimi Mushigami took out a gadget and began to explain.

Image: "Mushigami Erimi", Location: "Images/1644756092-100292271-108360074.jpg"

The prop resembles a guillotine, only a smaller version, with the human head replaced by fingers. There are a total of twenty ropes on both sides of the blade.

"All players put their fingers into the hole. Only one of the twenty ropes is connected to the guillotine. Once you cut that one, the blade will fall, and your finger will... Kuku, you understand without me saying more, right?" Mushishi Erimi sneered.

"Whoever pulls their finger out of the hole first loses; in other words, this is a game of courage!"

"How about it, Saotome-san? Your master wants you to play such a dangerous game..."

The Mushigami family's business is "torture," and the core of this gamble is to increase the opponent's fear!

However........

"The Scarlet King - Epitaph!"

Azami Kurosaki activated her Stand ability directly, but this time, it wasn't about foreseeing the future, but rather the new ability that King Crimson gained after its evolution—Knowing the Past!

The epitaph's ability was originally to foresee the future through scenes similar to epitaphs. After the Crimson King grew stronger, it gained the ability to "see past events"!

"No wonder they were so fearless; there were traps inside..."

"Saotome, what would you do?"

Watching the dealer take the props to check, Kurosaki Azami walked to a spot in the room that was a distance away from the two of them and watched with great interest.

"Stop babbling! I'm betting 20 votes, let's begin!"

Undeterred by her opponent's words, Saotome Meari inserted her fingers into the small hole on the guillotine and then swiftly cut a rope.

"Not bad... However, no one can remain calm under the torture of the Mushigaki family!"
