I'm doing a crossover anime/manga project, and I'm creating a new kind of "Moonlight&

If this isn't dealt with soon, he could just hand over the reins of the family business and at least step down with some dignity.

In fact, he had contacted all sorts of people, including the famous Onmyoji throughout Japan.

But the result....

Well, even if he offered a reward of one billion yen, no one would dare to take the order now.

Therefore, one can imagine the excitement he felt when he learned that there were truly capable, or even exceptionally capable, Onmyoji.

The more excited he is, the more anxious the other factions are, their eyes practically green with envy.

That's why that incident just happened.

That's the limit, though. They definitely wouldn't dare jump in front of that person, since that person could really launch a fireball and send them to their doom...

"It should be about time..."

Toyokawa Sadaharu slowly stood up: "Yuanzhi, tell everyone to go to the door to greet our distinguished guest."

soon.

The VIPs of the Toyokawa family, who control various major industries worth hundreds of billions, all arrived at the door.

They whispered amongst themselves, their faces showing dissatisfaction, but as the small car appeared, everyone instantly fell silent, their faces beaming with standard smiles and enthusiastic gestures.

Amid their enthusiasm, the car door slowly opened, and a young man dressed in a simple shirt and trousers stepped out.

The young man, exuding a faint, cool aura, stood with his back to the light.

He was very tall, probably around 187 cm, with wispy bangs that covered his eyebrows and eyes.

Bathed in the golden-red sunlight of dusk, her layered, jet-black hair was tied back with a simple silk ribbon.

Beneath her wispy bangs, her straight, thick eyebrows arched slightly upwards, giving her a free and unrestrained air.

Beneath his eyebrows were a pair of eyes as deep as the ocean.

She exuded an extremely strong presence, instantly capturing everyone's attention and gaze the moment she appeared.

Although it's standing right in front of you, it gives you the feeling of standing on a cloud.

mysterious!

Ethereal!

Calm!

Nothing could be more in line with people's imagination of a transcendent being.

Almost the instant the other person got out of the car, everyone present naturally knew the answer.

The rumors are probably true!

"Is this Mr. Toyokawa?"

After getting off the car.

Rosser merely glanced at the crowd, not even sparing a glance at the several stunningly beautiful and exceptionally elegant mature women.

With obvious disdain and indifference, he brushed past the elderly man in a kimono who was the first to react and warmly greet him, and strode towards Toyokawa Sadaharu.

indifferent!

arrogant!

These two words resurfaced in everyone's minds, but they also felt an even greater sense of awe.

Yes, how could someone who has mastered supernatural power and can kill everyone present with a single gesture not be arrogant?

Even Toyokawa Shoko's grandfather, Toyokawa Sadaharu, was more cautious in extending his hand: "Yes, Mr. Rosser, I am Toyokawa Sadaharu, the head of the Toyokawa family."

"I have no interest in knowing these things."

Rother glanced at his outstretched hand, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly, before waving his hand to interrupt him: "Get to the point."

It was as if it were saying, "Can you mortals stop wasting my time?"

Toyokawa Sadaharu silently withdrew his hand, swallowed his suggestion to have a meal together first, and his smile became even more enthusiastic.

"Here's what happened, about six months ago..."

Rosser interrupted him again: "Just tell me the time, the place, the target."

The suffocating pressure became increasingly clear.

The surroundings fell silent, as if no one was there. Everyone held their breath, deeply experiencing what it meant to be a transcendent being.

Even the most arrogant and unruly sons and daughters of wealthy families, who usually acted with self-importance, stood to the side with their heads down, not daring to cause any trouble.

Volume One: Chapter Thirty-Four - A Trillion-Dollar Compensation!

Toyokawa Sadaharu dared not be polite or verbose any further.

"The target is an evil spirit active in Ekoda, Sakuradai, and Senkawa in Nerima Ward. Although external reports indicate 46 victims, according to our Toyokawa family's investigation, the actual number is more than ten times higher. Please be careful, Master."

Then everyone saw that Rosser hadn't listened at all and impatiently interrupted, "When do you expect us to finish?"

After a moment's thought, Toyokawa Sadaharu decided to be bold and gritted his teeth.

"As for the timeframe, I hope it can be resolved today."

In this way, he can immediately prepare for subsequent actions—unblocking the news of the urban legend "the female neighbor," and even fanning the flames to spread the news offline as quickly as possible.

Then, once the time is right, you can release the news that a powerful mage has vanquished the evil spirit.

The main focus, of course, is to promote the power of the mages.

He is comparable to Abe no Seimei in modern times, and even surpasses him, making him a new urban legend.

This naturally leads people to the conclusion that Lianma is safe, even safer than anywhere else.

The result you make is equivalent to intuition, and intuition always makes people subconsciously believe it more than thinking.

By highlighting that he was once wiped out by a legendary powerful mage, he could not only recoup his losses but also potentially make a fortune, thus solidifying his position once again.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the evil spirit is truly eliminated and no more people die...

A thought flashed through his mind, and a warm smile spread across Toyokawa Sadaharu's face:

"Master, if you can eliminate the evil spirit, my Toyokawa family is willing to offer another set of facilities in the port area worth..."

"The evil spirit will be exorcised before 4 a.m. tonight."

Rother said this casually, not giving him a chance to test the waters, and turned to leave.

Don't give this old fox any room to maneuver.

Maintain a high profile; after all, he's a true master, what does he have to fear?

His gaze lingered without pausing or hesitating, as if he had no desire to waste time on these mundane things.

He simply made a gesture as he passed by Ayanokouji and Hikigaya, who were trying their best to keep their expressions blank.

"OK?"

Just as Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who was not sensitive to these things, was still trying to figure it out.

Hikigaya struggled to control his trembling legs, pretending to type and calculate on his phone, and then, as if he had reached a conclusion, headed towards Toyokawa Sadaharu.

"Hello, Mr. Toyokawa. I am Hachiman Hikigaya, Lord Rose's newly accepted disciple. The fee for this transaction is 3 billion yen. Please prepare to make the payment."

Faced with this terrifying number, his deadpan expression returned, and he even surpassed his own limits, putting on a show of indifference and arrogance befitting a disciple of a great figure.

Every move he made was like that of a most professional butler.

At this moment, not only would Hachiman's classmates not recognize him, but even his own father probably wouldn't recognize him.

At this moment.

The talents of the Toyokawa zaibatsu were suddenly alarmed.

Holy crap, there are two more people?

All my attention was drawn to Russell's presence, and I didn't even notice that two teenagers were getting off the bus behind me.

only......

He looks like an ordinary high school student.

next moment.

Several middle-aged men recognized Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and whispered a few words to the leaders of several factions.

Immediately, the old men's expressions changed.

Ayanokouji Atsuomi.

A born political monster.

Born in the countryside to a poor family, he went to Tokyo to make a living after graduating from high school, and worked various jobs including being a male escort.

At 25, he used the 300 million NTD election deposit he had saved from working to run for a seat in the legislature.

At the age of 27, he joined the ruling Citizens Party (based on the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan), and became a subordinate of Naoe Jinnosuke, one of the four leaders of the Citizens Party.

But he progressed too quickly, so quickly that even Naoe Jinnosuke was afraid and temporarily banished him from politics.

Until recently, after Naoe's death, he returned to politics as a member of the Kyoei Party.

'As expected of a legend in Japanese politics, his reaction was incredibly swift....'

The elderly woman in the kimono exclaimed in admiration.

Before they could even react, their son had already been placed under that man's tutelage, becoming his disciple.

This indirectly proves one thing.

Even that emotionless political monster made such a judgment, which shows that...

"Sousuke, let's prepare to retreat. This time, we probably won't be able to defeat Sadaharu."

He whispered instructions to his son beside him, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

"Given that old man's cunning, he probably tried to arrange for Ruihui's daughter to also become a disciple of that sorcerer."

really.

A flicker of interest crossed Toyokawa Sadaharu's eyes, but he suppressed it with regret.

Toyokawa Shoko is no longer going to listen to his orders.

"Oh, does Grandpa Toyokawa have any questions about this amount?"

before.

Hachiman Hikigaya, who came from an ordinary family, clearly showed his impatience.

"Of course not..."

Toyokawa Sadaharu immediately snapped out of his daze and smiled broadly: "Thirty billion is not enough to express our Toyokawa family's gratitude to the monk. How about this, our Toyokawa family has a ten-story apartment building in Nerima Ward that has been abandoned for a long time. We hope the monk will accept it."

As he spoke, his eyes flickered.

If Ayanokouji is the son of that politician, then what about this boy who seems to be of a higher status and could even be responsible for liaising with him?

Their clothes look very ordinary, clearly indicating an ordinary family.

But his eyes were fierce, arrogant (dead fish eyes), indicating a higher status...

Is it because of talent? The talent to become a mage!

He exchanged glances with the elders of the Toyokawa family behind him, and they vaguely made a judgment.

But Hikigaya, whom they considered talented, was practically trembling in the knees.

one building?

You fucking said a whole building, not a single apartment?!

Hachiman Hikigaya felt as if his senses about money and houses were being shattered by this simple sentence.
