But as soon as he turned around, he felt a sudden chill in his heart—several black blades pierced his body with pinpoint accuracy.

One of them pierced his heart.

“I’m not like you, I know where to get the piercing.”

Seeing the horrified and incomprehensible expression on Matou Kariya's face, Kirei Kotomine couldn't help but smile.

He hadn't laughed in a long time; even his father said his expression was too serious.

But today, seeing Tokiomi Tohsaka's death and Kariya Matou's terrified expression as if betrayed, he couldn't help but laugh.

The thought that Tokiomi Tohsaka had just summoned the powerful Gilgamesh a few hours earlier, and was just about to make a name for himself in the Holy Grail War, only to be assassinated by Kariya Matou, whom he had always looked down upon, was incredibly painful.

It's a truly delightful feeling.

Retracting the black key, Kirei Kotomine looked at the two corpses, Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kariya Matou, piled up together, and his expression gradually returned to calm.

So... Tokiomi Tohsaka is dead, and his Command Seals and Servants can't be wasted.

Let him inherit all of Archer Gilgamesh's possessions.

……

No one knows about the tragedy that happened at the Tohsaka residence yet, but it is believed that someone will discover it naturally when daytime arrives.

On the very first day of the Holy Grail War, two of the three starter families were already eliminated.

When Kiritsugu Emiya, whom Einzbern summoned, arrives in Fuyuki City and hears this news, his expression will surely be quite interesting.

Qin Chuan, who was essentially responsible for this outcome, was unaware that Tokiomi Tohsaka had been killed so quickly.

If he knew, he would have gone to Tokiomi Tohsaka and said, "I will take care of your wife and children, so don't worry."

Although saying this will most likely only make Tokiomi Tohsaka more worried.

Qin Chuan is currently staking out the streets with Matou Sakura.

607 just brought Rin Tohsaka, and now he's bringing Sakura Matou. If Kariya Matou knew this, he'd probably be grinding his teeth in hatred.

"Big brother, who are we waiting for here?"

Sakura Matou sat on Qin Chuan's arm and asked curiously.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with being with Qin Chuan on the street late at night; in fact, she quite liked the feeling of sitting in Qin Chuan's lap.

I wish I could stay a little longer.

However, Qin Chuan didn't seem like the type of person who would sit on the street in the middle of the night lost in thought, so she didn't quite understand why Qin Chuan had brought her here.

"Wait for the person who can take you to the Clock Tower for further studies."

Qin Chuan said calmly.

"Look, aren't they coming?"

The place where Qin Chuan and Matou Sakura were squatting was the largest bookstore in Fuyuki City.

Qin Chuan knew very well that the student from the Clock Tower, Weberville Vetter, would come to the bookstore late that night after summoning his heroic spirit.

Of course, it wasn't Waver who wanted to come; rather, he was forcibly dragged over by his Servant, Iskandar, a Rider.

That's why Qin Chuan was lying in wait here, waiting for Iskandar and Weber to arrive.

And his waiting was not wrong. Although it took a while, he could feel it.

The sound of animals running in the distance is gradually approaching.

Chapter 122 We Will Win

Rumbling--

Accompanied by the rapid thud of footsteps and the roar of wheels, a huge figure soon appeared on the street.

It was two burly bulls pulling a magnificent chariot, with two people standing on the back of the chariot.

One was a huge, muscular man driving a chariot and pulling a bull, while the other was a thin boy clinging tightly to the edge of the chariot, as if he was afraid of falling off.

"Oh? I didn't expect there were already guests here."

As the bull pulled the chariot to a stop in front of the bookstore, the muscular man let out a hearty laugh.

"See, little master, as expected, someone shares the same view as me!"

"You're not a guest! You're a robber! What kind of heroic spirit descends and tries to rob a bookstore?!"

The young man beside him was crying and making accusations, seemingly very dissatisfied with the burly man's actions.

"And didn't you say you wouldn't be discovered? Didn't you get seen right away?"

The young, thin boy was none other than Weberveld Witte, whom Qin Chuan was looking for, while the burly man was his follower, Iskandar.

The legendary relic used to summon Alexander the Great originally belonged to Kenneth, but it was stolen by Waver.

"That makes sense, doesn't it? The Holy Grail War is supposed to be something that ordinary people can't see, right?"

Iskandar stroked his chin with his large hand, seemingly deep in thought. He looked at Qin Chuan and Matou Sakura, who were watching the comedy show, and smiled.

"But these two are probably not ordinary people, are they?"

"Eh? Really?"

Weber exclaimed in surprise, looking at Qin Chuan and Matou Sakura, but quickly frowned.

"That's not right, they don't have Command Seals, they don't seem like participants in the Holy Grail War."

"Your judgment is still lacking."

Iskandar stared at Qin Chuan, his burly body trembling slightly.

"This pressure... how could it be an ordinary person? I have never seen a monster that can bring me such pressure during my conquest."

"Let's cut the small talk, Iskandar. I'm waiting for you here, mainly because I have something to discuss with your Master."

Qin Chuan pursed his lips as he looked at Iskandar's seemingly ready-to-attack stance.

If Iskandar really wants to make a move, Qin Chuan wouldn't mind sending him on his way, but that would make talking to Waver more complicated.

However, as soon as Qin Chuan spoke, Iskandar and Weber were stunned.

"You...you know Rider's true identity?"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan address Iskandar by his real name, Waver realized that Qin Chuan already knew the true identity of his Servant.

Because the heroic spirits are all famous figures in history and mythology, once their true identities are known, it is very likely that people will learn about their abilities and weaknesses from various myths.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, people try their best to conceal the names of their heroic spirits.

"Haha, I didn't expect that my name would be known before I even introduced myself?"

Iskandar laughed heartily, showing no displeasure at having his true name exposed.

Rather, it's just his personality; in the original work, his real name was even something he revealed himself.

He patted Webber on the back, nearly knocking him off the chariot.

"Hey, Master, this person seems to be looking for you. Go and talk to him!"

"Idiot! What if this person tries to kill me?! As a Servant, shouldn't you be protecting me?!"

Weber was somewhat timid, and when Iskandar pushed him to the front like this, his body trembled.

Although he couldn't sense any pressure from Qin Chuan despite his strength, Iskandar had just said that Qin Chuan was a monster who brought him immense pressure.

In other words, the other party is very likely also a Heroic Spirit, so of course he was terrified.

"If he were going to make a move, he wouldn't be standing here talking to us, right?"

Iskandar, however, understood perfectly that Qin Chuan had no intention of making a move.

"I came to you this time because I want you to take this child to the Clock Tower to learn magic."

Qin Chuan ignored Webber's antics and instead looked at Matou Sakura, who was still sitting in his lap, and said...

"Her name is Matou Sakura. She has excellent magical talent, but I will leave after the Holy Grail War ends, so I can't take her with me forever."

“Matou Sakura…? I don’t remember the Matou family being that…”

Weber finally calmed down after hearing that Qin Chuan seemed genuinely interested in having a serious talk with him.

However, upon hearing Matou Sakura's surname, he immediately thought of the Matou family, one of the three founding families in the Holy Grail War.

As a participant, he had been gathering relevant information recently, and only saw the news about the Matou family's property being seized in the newspaper during the day.

It's said that the Matou family's house has been infested by unknown, strange insects, and the police are currently cleaning up and investigating.

"She was originally the daughter of the Tohsaka family, but because the Tohsaka family's magic circuits could only be inherited by one person, she was adopted by the Matou family."

Qin Chuan patiently explained, which was unusual for him.

"The Tohsaka family's ancestors were quite famous in the Mage's Association, right? Taking her to the Clock Tower to study shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Indeed, the first head of the Tohsaka family seems to have been a student of the Jewel Elder..."

Because he was coming to participate in the Holy Grail War, Waver had learned about the history of the three starter families of the Holy Grail War and knew about the first head of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Nagato.

However, he quickly realized what was happening:

"No! If you're a Heroic Spirit, then we're enemies, right? Why should I do anything for you!?"

"If you don't help me, I'll kill your Servant right now and force you to withdraw from the Holy Grail War immediately."

Qin Chuan threatened calmly.

"If you agree, I'll agree to kill Iskandar last."

Weber was stunned. He had never seen such a negotiation before—was it because Iskandar was going to die anyway, so he had to withdraw from the Holy Grail War?

But if I agree, I can experience the Holy Grail War for a few more days... Is that what you mean?

"Interesting. Isn't this a disguised alliance? Postponing our battle until the very end of the Holy Grail War."

Iskandar laughed heartily, instantly rephrasing Qin Chuan's threat.

In a sense, that's not wrong. Leaving Iskandar to be dealt with last is, in other words, wanting to "take care of all the other enemies first."

This is the difference between high emotional intelligence and low emotional intelligence.

Upon hearing Iskandar's explanation, Weber seemed to accept it. He pondered for a moment and said:

"It's not impossible. If she has the blood of the Tohsaka family and has good magical talent, the Clock Tower should not mind accepting such a student."

Finally, Weber looked up at Qin Chuan and nodded, saying:

"Okay! I agree!"

……

After reaching an agreement with Waver, Qin Chuan left with Matou Sakura.

Weber looked in the direction Qin Chuan had left, his expression somewhat worried.

Although he couldn't sense Qin Chuan's strength, Qin Chuan's expression of not taking others seriously still made him feel that the other party was very dangerous.

"Hey, Rider, you said the opponent is strong... but if it really comes down to a fight, you'll win, right?"

Perhaps seeking a sense of security, Weber unconsciously glanced at Iskandar's muscular physique beside him.

“Hmm, Joe.”

Iskandar sensed Webber's worry and gave a confident smile.

"We will win."

Chapter 123 Assassin's Doppelganger Ability

"Big brother, are you leaving?"

After escorting Matou Sakura back to her room at the Hyatt Hotel, Qin Chuan prepared to leave.

However, Matou Sakura was still reluctant to part with him, tugging at Qin Chuan's clothes as if she didn't want him to leave like this.

Especially when she thought that Qin Chuan was actually Rin Tohsaka's Heroic Spirit, Sakura Matou felt a growing resentment towards Rin Tohsaka.

She originally loved her older sister very much, but after being abandoned by the Tohsaka family, her feelings for her original family gradually faded.
