"The Shinomiya family doesn't seem to be very clean either."

As Kiryu followed the waiters to the reception room, he suddenly uttered this seemingly random remark.

The waiters' expressions changed slightly, but they didn't quite understand the meaning of the sentence.

Qin Chuan and Hayasaka Ai understood—because after entering the Shinomiya family home, they encountered many evil spirits inside.

These evil spirits did not simply wander aimlessly and happen to enter the Shinomiya household; they all carried obvious malice.

Clearly, they are all vengeful spirits who died because of the Shinomiya family, and they entered the Shinomiya family unconsciously out of resentment.

This was also seen by Hayasaka Ai, who became a Stand user yesterday, when she returned to the Shinomiya family.

She was quite frightened at the time, but she quickly realized what these evil spirits were.

Although she knew very well that the Shinomiya family, as a large conglomerate, could not possibly be without bloodshed, seeing so many evil spirits entrenched in the Shinomiya family still made her feel very uncomfortable.

She also tried to eliminate a few evil spirits by wearing a stand-in, but there were just too many evil spirits in the Shinomiya family, and she couldn't eliminate them all.

So we can only leave it like this.

Kiryu made this remark mainly because there were more evil spirits here than he had seen in the yakuza territory.

These seemingly glamorous conglomerates have secretly killed far more people than the underworld.

……

Soon, they arrived at the reception room. Hayasaka Ai pushed open the door and invited Qin Chuan and the others in.

Two people were sitting on the sofa in the living room—Shinomiya Kan'an, the head of the Shinomiya family, and his eldest son, Shinomiya Komitsu.

Shinomiya Hiroko's gaze was fixed on Qin Chuan after he entered the reception room.

Although Kiryu is the leader of the Kiryu Group, judging from the positions of the three Kiryu Group members who walked in, Qin Chuan is clearly in charge.

Shinomiya Gan'an, on the other hand, looked to be in poor health; she was thin and looked like she might be hospitalized at any moment.

He glanced at the people entering the reception room and said:

"Everyone else, please leave. Hayasaka, please stay."

The other waiters bowed and left, leaving only Qin Chuan, his two companions, and Hayasaka Ai in the reception room.

Qin Chuan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa next to him, facing Shi Gong Yan'an and Shi Gong Huang Guang.

Kiryu and his stand-in sat down on either side of Qin Chuan—this was clearly a message to the two Shinomiyas that Qin Chuan was the one in charge.

"It really surprised me. I didn't expect that the real person in charge of the Kiryu Group would be a young man who is about the same age as Kaguya."

Shigu Yanan looked at Qin Chuan, but his tone didn't sound condescending; he sounded like an ordinary old man.

"I bet their special abilities come from you, right?"

"That's it."

Qin Chuan nodded, then picked up the pendant around his neck—it was the arrow.

Unfortunately, the arrow did not react at all, as neither Shinomiya Gan'an nor Shinomiya Hikari had the qualifications to use a Stand.

"Unfortunately, neither of you has the aptitude to awaken a Stand."

"A stand-in? Is that what you call your special abilities?"

Shinomiya Hikari leaned forward slightly, seemingly quite interested in this kind of thing.

As the eldest son of Shinomiya Kan'an, Shinomiya Hikari is arguably the most promising successor to the Shinomiya family, especially given Kan'an's declining health.

Therefore, he will not let go of any power that can be utilized.

Now he has his sights set on the power that Qin Chuan calls "substitute"—if he had such a power, many things that are usually difficult to do openly might be easily solved.

"How will you know we don't have the stunt double qualifications you're talking about if you don't try?"

"Speak with more respect."

Qin Chuan didn't speak, but his stand-in seemed a little dissatisfied. He frowned, and his melee stand-in appeared beside him.

He held Qin Chuan in high esteem. Shinomiya Huangguang's tone had been aggressive, as if he were forcing Qin Chuan to help him awaken his substitute.

The Stand was very unhappy, so he summoned his Stand—if Shinomiya Hikari dared to speak rudely again, he would punch him.

Shinomiya Hikari and Shinomiya Kan'an couldn't see the Stand, but Hayasaka Ai, who was standing to the side, did. She glanced at it and then sighed.

It seems this Stand user has a rather volatile temper; Shinomiya Hikari probably has no idea that his head was about to explode.

"Huang Guang".

Shinomiya Gan'an glanced at Shinomiya Kou, who was sitting next to him—although his health was indeed deteriorating, it didn't mean he was already bedridden.

Upon hearing Shinomiya Yan'an's words, Shinomiya Huangguang fell silent for a moment and did not continue speaking.

"It's a pity that we don't have the aptitude for that Stand ability, but the Shinomiya family didn't necessarily need to obtain that power."

Having weathered many storms and witnessed numerous powers that the Shinomiya family could not utilize, Shinomiya Gan'an's expression remained largely unchanged.

"What we really want to know is, to what extent can this power achieve?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present except Qin Chuan's expression changed slightly.

The meaning of Shinomiya Gan'an's words is quite simple: he wanted to see if their power could be controlled.

If the Stand's power is only so-so, then the Shinomiya family might try to control the Kiryu Group by force.

But if the power displayed is too exaggerated... then it's hard to say what the Shinomiya family will do.

Qin Chuan also smiled—Shigu Yan'an wanted to see Qin Chuan's strength.

To be honest, in terms of the power of an individual Stand, unless it's an exceptional one like Requiem or Made in Heaven, it's not really that strong.

Even the likes of Star Platinum and The World, who are considered the pinnacle of Stands, have their limits.

If Qin Chuan is really just a stand-in user, then he probably won't be able to demonstrate the power that would intimidate the Shinomiya family.

The Shinomiya family is one of the largest conglomerates in Japan; they are not the kind of people who would be afraid of someone with superhuman strength.

A pistol can kill someone instantly, so why would the Shinomiya family be afraid of pistols?

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan stood up and, under everyone's gaze, walked to the bedside in the living room and opened the window.

"The weather isn't very good today, is it?"

Some people were puzzled and followed Qin Chuan's gaze to the sky outside the window—a layer of gray clouds covered the sky, as if it was about to rain.

The next moment, Qin Chuan raised his hand, and a ki blast appeared from his hand.

That's a technique similar to Yamcha's "ki blast," and for Qin Chuan, who already has perfect control over "ki," doing the same thing isn't difficult.

With the appearance of this gas blast, an incredibly intense pressure immediately enveloped everyone in the room.

Chapter 128 A Simple Rewrite of the Celestial Phenomena

When living beings face something that threatens their lives, they instinctively feel pressure, which urges their bodies to flee and get away from the threat.

Now, after Qin Chuan's energy blast appeared, everyone in the room felt the pressure of this biological instinct, and an unparalleled sense of fear surged into their hearts.

But their bodies couldn't even carry them out of the way; it was as if their very instincts were telling them, "There's no hope. Just wait to die."

Qin Chuan ignored the reactions of everyone in the room, and simply flicked the gas canister in his hand towards the sky outside the window—the small gas canister instantly flew into the clouds.

next moment.

boom--!

A tremendous roar came from the clouds, like thunder, and could be heard by almost everyone in the city.

As the roar resounded, the clouds in the sky were instantly blasted apart and completely disappeared.

The sun, which had been obscured by the clouds, shone again into the city. Pedestrians who had been startled by the roar of engines looked up, amazed by the sudden clearing of the sky.

A touch of warmth returned to the people in the city, and many were discussing with those around them what had just happened.

To the average person, it would probably just look like a sudden, terrifying clap of thunder followed by the clouds disappearing—this spectacle would likely be the subject of much discussion.

But the people in the Shinomiya family's reception room didn't feel much warmth; they only felt cold all over—especially Shinomiya Gan'an and Shinomiya Kōkō.

That strange ball of light just now produced such a terrifying effect when it hit the sky. What if it hit the ground?

The Shinomiya family will be razed to the ground in an instant, right?

The Shinomiya family is indeed not afraid of handguns, but the effect of Qin Chuan's air blast is far beyond what a toy like a handgun can achieve.

If someone is carrying a handgun, the Shinomiya family can increase security to render that person useless.

But if someone has a nuclear bomb, what can the Shinomiya family do? Strengthen security? That would just mean sending a few more people to their deaths.

"It's much brighter now, isn't it?"

Qin Chuan turned around and walked back to the sofa. Kiryu and his stand-in looked at him with awe.

Although they knew from the beginning that Qin Chuan's strength far surpassed theirs, this was the first time they had realized it was this exaggerated.

Hayasaka Ai's gaze towards Qin Chuan was somewhat subtle.

She did feel a slight fear of Qin Chuan, but after seeing the immense power he displayed, she felt a surge of excitement.

She herself didn't know that she was such a girl who admired strength. Could it be that her interests had changed after being treated like that by Qin Chuan last night?

Shinomiya Kōkō and Shinomiya Gōan, on the other hand, behaved much more normally, their eyes flashing with fear of that power.

Shinomiya Huangguang's face was even paler. He was somewhat relieved that although his tone had been a bit aggressive, at least he hadn't directly offended Qin Chuan.

Shigu Yan'an glanced at the pale Shigu Huangguang, sighed, and said to Qin Chuan:

"this……"

After he said it, Shinomiya Yan'an realized with some embarrassment that he didn't even know Qin Chuan's name.

In fact, if they investigated carefully, they would know Qin Chuan's name—Qin Chuan's affairs are no secret within the Kiryu Group.

To ensure that the Kiryu Group wouldn't provoke Qin Chuan outside, Kiryu gave each member a strict order: they must remember Qin Chuan's face and name and serve him wholeheartedly.

Ultimately, the Kiryu Group is just a small organization operating in Shimokitazawa. Although it has recently shown signs of rising in popularity, it is not yet worth the Shinomiya family's attention.

So the Shinomiya family didn't conduct any investigation into the Kiryu Group at all, and just arrogantly invited them over.

As a result, they only learned about Qin Chuan, the real person in charge of the Kiryu Group, after meeting Qin Chuan and the other two, and they didn't even know his name.

"Lord Qin Chuan."

Kiryu, standing to the side, explained that after witnessing Qin Chuan's displayed power, his respect for Qin Chuan had only grown stronger.

"Lord Qin Chuan, your power... truly exceeds our imagination. I could never have imagined that humans could possess such power before."

Shinomiya Gan'an's tone also became humble. As the head of the Shinomiya family, he knew very well how to treat different people.

He had never had the chance to use this humble attitude before, but unexpectedly it came in handy when his health was deteriorating and he was about to abdicate.

Shinomiya Hikari also kept his head down, still praying in his heart that Qin Chuan wouldn't mind his tone just now.

"Lord Qin Chuan has shown us this power, which is probably not simply to let us understand the truth of the world."

Seeing that Qin Chuan did not speak, Shi Gongyan continued.

"If Lord Qin Chuan needs it... the Shinomiya family is willing to exist as Lord Qin Chuan's support."

This statement is essentially a declaration of loyalty to Qin Chuan.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room looked on in surprise.

Whether it was Kiryu, his stand-in, Hayasaka Ai, or Shinomiya Hikari, their gazes toward Shinomiya Gan'an were filled with disbelief.

That's the Shinomiya family, not some small organization. How could they just hand it over to someone they'd only met for the first time?

But soon, everyone realized why Shinomiya Gan'an did this.

Because Qin Chuan's power has indeed exceeded the Shinomiya family's tolerance.

Although Qin Chuan's energy blast only cleared the clouds above the city, they experienced firsthand the pressure brought by that power.

The gas bomb that hit the ground was no less powerful than a nuclear warhead—and that was the most powerful description they could imagine.

Faced with such power, the Shinomiya family's influence was useless; the only thing they could do was swear allegiance to Qin Chuan in order to gain his protection.

As for pretending to be deaf and dumb? Shinomiya Gan'an never even considered the feasibility of such a thing.

Qin Chuan's willingness to display this power in front of them already made his stance clear—would he willingly show off his power in front of strangers?
