It has to be said that if anyone could counter Ayaka Sajou's powerful moves, it would definitely be King Arthur, who has an inextricable connection with her. Although she is a female King Arthur, the effect would probably be about the same.
“Okay.” Then Artoria [Alter] transformed into a Heroic Spirit and became invisible. Wang Chong looked at Ayaka Sajou, who still wanted to follow him, and said, “I have some things to discuss with Miss Aozaki alone. You are free to move around on this island.”
"Why can't I go with him? And if that magician can do it, why can't I? Give me some time..."
“I just don’t have the time. I need to get started right away. If you really want to help, could you check if there’s any way to upgrade those trap rooms and combat rooms? I’m going to use them all tonight,” Wang Chong said.
"So... is there any reward?" Aika Sajou's bright blue eyes darted around as she asked with a smile.
"If you satisfy me, I'll reward you as long as your request isn't too unreasonable. Let's go to the workshop first, Miss Aozaki." After saying this, Wang Chong led Aozaki Touko towards the magic workshop.
Sajō Aika extended her left index finger and gently patted her cheek, walking off in a certain direction to herself, thinking to herself, "Hmm~ Helping His Highness deal with some enemies? I'll definitely have to show my true abilities. I don't want my Prince to suffer even the slightest harm."
With the power of the Root, Ayaka Sajou clearly read all the information about this Holy Grail War. She knew very well who Wang Chong's enemy was, so it was necessary to add and strengthen some interesting magic circles to this Hanging Garden.
"King Arthur? Ha, too bad I've lost interest in you, and besides, you can't possibly be my prince." Able to foresee many aspects of her future, Sajō Ayaka was well aware of the bonds and connections she shared with the Servant following her. But those things no longer mattered to her; what she cared about now was the King of Kings, not those characters written into the script of fate.
……
"That little guy you found is really something else." After finding a suitable location and setting up the magic circle and security measures for entry, exit, and isolation of outsiders, Aozaki Touko finally lit a cigarette to relax and said.
“She is indeed extraordinary, like Ryougi Shiki, she is also a Root Being. However, unlike Shiki, whose personality is dormant, she has truly mastered that power. A magician who is connected to the Root… that is comparable to the Five Great Magicians. You should understand the meaning behind those words,” Wang Chong said.
"A monster from the future? Ha, birds of a feather flock together." Aozaki Touko couldn't help but glance at Wang Chong. Wang Chong shrugged, not caring about these things. Then he opened the system space and took out many of the Einzbern family dolls that he had successfully controlled with his power of ruin.
“You can study the books and technology however you like, and I also have that person’s blood and all her physical data here. And you’ve already met her blood relative—Ilya, that child. I think with all this, you can perfectly recreate a new body. You could even go so far as to see if you can create the Winter Saintess of the Einzbern family.” Wang Chong said with a smile.
"You overestimate me. I'm not some third magician, and besides, the birth of the Winter Saintess was purely accidental. Even the magicians of the Einzbern family gave up back then. But I'll try my best to see what I can research. If I can, I'll ask you for some materials." Aozaki Touko took the sealed blood vial and the information Wang Chong had collected from his hands, reading them as she spoke.
"But your relationship with Mrs. Irisviel is really unusual... Tsk tsk, you were able to investigate such confidential information. You didn't touch her all over, did you? She has a husband. How could she accept such a thing with you?" Aozaki Touko saw that the information was so detailed that even she herself might not have been able to measure it so thoroughly.
"Hmm~ That's my private matter, I can't comment," Wang Chong said with a slight smile.
"Heh...no wonder she was so nice to that little girl." Aozaki Touko was a shrewd person after all, and she quickly understood the relationship between the three of them. A piece of melon suddenly jumped in front of her, so how could she not take it?
"Once everything is ready here, I'll take you down first. After all, it's high in the sky, and we also need to be wary of the familiars sent by the normal Masters to monitor the situation. You go and take care of Kenneth's matter first, and then use this to call me after you're done. I'll take you back." Wang Chong then made another Black Mist Ring and handed it to Aozaki Touko, briefly explaining to her how to use it.
……
“Aozaki Touko has already been sent down; she’ll find Kenneth in her own way. Now I need to take care of some of my own business.” Wang Chong then headed towards Yuanzang Mountain, where he had recently arranged to meet an “old friend” for a good reunion.
"My clones have been lying in wait near the Zenjou residence for some time now. After all, we can't just focus on one place and forget about another. Especially since Tohsaka Tokiomi is almost at the end of his rope." This time, because he doesn't need to stay at home with Jeanne and the others, Wang Chong can maximize the value of his dual-track operation.
Liudong Temple on Yuanzang Mountain seemed deserted today, with few people coming to offer incense. Wang Chong went to the back of Liudong Temple and quietly waited for someone to arrive in the shade of a tree.
"Excuse me, Lord Wang Chong." A deep and magnetic voice rang out. Wang Chong looked to the side and saw that the person who had come was none other than Kirei Kotomine, whom he was waiting for.
"Kiri, is there any confirmed suspect on the list of people traveling to and from Fuyuki City?" Wang Chong asked.
"We've already dispatched Hassan to accompany three travelers who match the criteria. The results are still being confirmed. There are also a few others who smuggled themselves into Fuyuki City, but their criteria don't match at all. However, these people are already under Hassan's control," Kirei Kotomine said.
"Hmph, that Bai Ji could very well be hiding among anyone here. Of course, if she wanted to, no one could find her either. Oh well, this was originally a task assigned to you by your cheap master, who has completely pinned his hopes on that Bai Ji," Wang Chong chuckled twice and said.
"That's true, Master. He can no longer maintain his former refined and gentle demeanor." As he said this, Kirei Kotomine unconsciously revealed a knowing smile. He enjoyed watching his master's expression gradually turn towards despair, which further confirmed his own desire for what he was pursuing.
"And what about me, Kirei? Who do you think would win if I faced that White Princess?" Wang Chong suddenly looked at Kirei Kotomine, his smile somewhat eerie, and said.
"Everything is under your control, Master. Even the legendary White Princess is no match for you," Kirei Kotomine said earnestly.
However, upon hearing Kirei Kotomine's answer, Wang Chong shook his head and said, "Kirei, you didn't understand what I meant. I asked 'what do you think'..."
"Ugh..." At that moment, a bead of cold sweat began to appear on Kirei Kotomine's forehead. Wang Chong's words had once again become a curse, making him feel as if he were facing a mirror with a demon in it, reflecting his ugly soul and heart.
Chapter 210 Did You Miss Me? Mrs. Tohsaka
Seeing Kirei Kotomine's nervous expression, Wang Chong slowly walked to Kirei's side and said gently, "I know your loyalty, Kirei. I have never doubted that. Don't be nervous. I just hope that you don't suppress your emotions too much because of me. Suppressing them for too long will only lead to distortion. Do you understand what I mean?"
“I understand… Lord Wang Chong.” Upon hearing this, Kirei Kotomine’s body trembled, and his expression became even more respectful as he replied.
"So tell me now. What are your thoughts? Who do you think will win? Who do you hope will win?" Wang Chong asked.
"...I think you'll fail, and I even hope you fail. I'm so sorry, even though that thought only flashed through my mind, I still had it. Because I just crave this kind of thing." Kirei Kotomine involuntarily covered his face. Was he lamenting his unusually pleasurable interests? Or was he trying to hide his barely suppressed smile?
"Kiri, when I first came to you, I taught you that we are born to be different. Failure, setbacks, regret, anger... these things that ordinary people see as painful are the most thirst-quenching nectar and the greatest blessing to us. Your loyalty to me, yet your desire for my failure, is not contradictory. On the contrary, the more you care about and are close to someone, the more painful things they encounter, the happier you will be. This is your nature, your soul, and the best proof of your loyalty to me," Wang Chong said slowly.
"Yes, what you say is absolutely right, sir." Kirei Kotomine lowered his hand, revealing a relieved smile.
“But that’s precisely why I don’t want you to suppress that nature. It’s better to guide than to suppress. The longer you suppress it, the more distorted your inner pursuits will become. Just like I said before, you will eventually become a slave to pleasure.” Wang Chong patted Kirei Kotomine on the shoulder and then said, “This is my first test for you. You did very well, Kirei. You didn’t choose to continue to deliberately suppress yourself, which proves that you listened to my words.”
"The first test?" Kirei Kotomine keenly noticed the key words in Wang Chong's words.
“Well, the two most important tests will take place tonight… one is your master, and the other is your father,” Wang Chong said slowly. “Let’s not talk about your master for now; his fate has already been decided. But as for your father, I will give you the choice. I will watch this good show with you then.”
Kirei Kotomine was startled, then his body trembled once more. He knew exactly what Wang Chong's words meant—it was finally time to take action against Tokiomi Tohsaka and Risei Kotomine. This time, it was no longer a game of teasing and taunting, but a true showdown of victory and defeat.
"Get ready for tonight. I'll explain the plan to you in detail. Now, continue monitoring those suspicious individuals entering Fuyuki City," Wang Chong said with a smile.
……
Not long after, Wang Chong left Mount Enzang and headed to the locations provided by Kirei Kotomine to search for places where Hakuhime might appear.
"As expected, neither the system's favorability nor loyalty is omnipotent. Kirei Kotomine has indeed changed somewhat... This change should stem from Gilgamesh's persuasion, or perhaps a correction of fate. Although Kirei Kotomine remains loyal to me, good intentions can lead to bad outcomes, which has nothing to do with whether Kirei Kotomine is loyal to me or not. I still need to keep up with the control over his thoughts." Wang Chong pondered carefully on his way there.
Wang Chong's sudden test of Kirei Kotomine stemmed from the recent example of Ayaka Sajou. Even though Ayaka Sajou's affection for him was high enough to be easily manipulated and she was utterly incapable of harming him, she still harbored a natural tendency to reject and be hostile towards the women around him, based on her inherent personality. While he had made some adjustments, he had indirectly distorted Ayaka Sajou's psychology. Hmm, from a yandere to a masochist—he didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
However, Wang Chong also realized that he couldn't rely too much on the superficial data displayed by the system. He needed to take a more diverse and multi-dimensional view of the people around him. They were not just a string of numbers; they were living, breathing people who needed to be dealt with carefully.
"Finding Bai Ji might be difficult to confirm in a short time. However, it doesn't matter if I can't find her during the day. I'm already prepared to fight her one-on-one tonight. Let my clone take over the search." After thinking it through, Wang Chong silently recited the clone conversion command.
……
Chancheng Home
Tohsaka Aoi was going through her usual afternoon tea routine, which she had long cultivated. However, unlike before, this time she was not alone in her room; her servants accompanied her both inside and outside. Ever since the afternoon before last when she was ambushed in her room by that man, Tohsaka Aoi was afraid of experiencing the same thing again, so she had specially arranged for a large group of servants to guard outside, and even inside, there were people taking care of her.
In addition, her husband, Tokiomi Tohsaka, seemed to have received some information yesterday, so he deployed more people to the Zenjou residence. With people accompanying her both openly and secretly, Aoi Tohsaka was able to spend yesterday peacefully without being disturbed by anyone.
For some reason, last night, Aoi Tohsaka felt an unusual heat in her body. It was as if some desire was being suppressed, causing her great discomfort. No matter how hard she tried to calm herself, she couldn't. Finally, unable to control herself, Aoi comforted herself with her hands. But the more she comforted herself, the more unbearably empty she felt. Even after reaching the peak, she felt a sense of loss, a hollowness in her heart.
"What's wrong with me? I don't need to worry about that person coming anymore, so why am I feeling so upset?" As she sipped her tea, Aoi Tohsaka's mind was no longer as calm as it used to be. Her mind was filled with distracting thoughts, and even while drinking tea, images of herself kissing that person with tea in her mouth, of serving that rough yet fierce image, floated into her mind.
Aoi Tohsaka gently set down her teacup, her slender fingers tracing the rim. Outside the window, the sun shone brightly, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the cicadas chirped incessantly. This should have been her most enjoyable afternoon, but at this moment, she was completely unable to relax. The memories etched into her very being made her restless and uneasy.
Her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the doorway, as if something terrible might happen at any moment. Ever since what happened the day before, she felt something had taken root in her heart, something she couldn't shake off. That inexplicable longing and fear intertwined, making her restless and unable to eat or sleep.
"Madam, are you alright?" At this moment, the maid beside her seemed to notice her mistress's unusual condition and asked cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Aoi Tohsaka forced a smile and said, "It's alright, you can stay here with me."
"Yes." The maid lowered her head and continued to brew tea for Aoi Tohsaka.
Tohsaka Aoi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. But at that moment, the image of him from that day flashed uncontrollably through her mind. His heavy breathing, his burning body temperature, and that suffocating possessiveness... everything was so clear, as if it were right before her eyes.
She involuntarily squeezed her legs together, a tingling sensation spreading from her lower abdomen. Aoi Tohsaka was startled by the change in herself, a wave of shame instantly washing over her. What was wrong with her? Had she become like this simply because of those repeated, brutal assaults? Was she really as despicable as he claimed?
Aoi Tohsaka forced herself to focus on the black tea in front of her. The rich aroma filled her nostrils, but she found it utterly tasteless. Her thoughts drifted again, imagining how she would react if that person were to intrude once more. Would she fight back, or…
No! Aoi Tohsaka shook her head violently, trying to shake off these absurd thoughts. But the more she resisted, the stronger the desire became. She felt like a wild beast trapped in a cage, desperately needing to release her pent-up desires.
In a corner unnoticed by anyone, a wisp of black mist quietly seeped in, slowly moving to Aoi Tohsaka's ankle, climbing upwards, and finally reaching her ear, forming a black ring.
At that moment, as Aoi Tohsaka continued to dispel the distracting thoughts in her mind, a voice rang in her ears like a thunderclap:
"Did you miss me, Mrs. Tohsaka?"
"when--"
The teacup fell to the ground, spilling tea and creating a scene that resembled a demon.
Chapter 211 The Deception
Hearing those devilish whispers echo in Aoi Tohsaka's ears sent a shiver down her spine. She nearly dropped her cup, and a storm raged within her. Her red lips trembled as she blurted out, "You...you go away! Get away!"
"Madam, what's wrong? Is there something I did wrong?" The maid, who was cleaning up the broken teacup on the floor with some fright, looked at Aoi Tohsaka and asked tremblingly.
"No...it's none of your business. Pack these up and take them out." Only then did Aoi Tohsaka realize that the familiar figure wasn't beside her. A sense of relief washed over her, and she looked at the servant with a hint of apology.
"Yes, Madam." After the maid finished tidying up, she took the items out. After the maid left, Tohsaka Aoi rubbed her forehead, wondering what was wrong with her. Was she really so mentally exhausted that she was even hallucinating?
"It seems that Madam really misses me, she even went out of her way to lure away the last troublesome fellows in the room. Is she eager to see me?" However, this time, the terrifying voice of Tohsaka Aoi rang out again, which made Tohsaka Aoi completely confirm that she was not hallucinating, but that the other party was really talking to her.
"You! Where are you hiding! Come out!" Aoi Tohsaka exclaimed.
"Madam! What happened?" Upon hearing Tohsaka Aoi's exclamation, the door was suddenly opened, and several strong servants entered. Finding that only Tohsaka Aoi was there, they quickly inquired.
"Hehehe, Madam, don't even think that these fools can find me. In fact, I haven't even entered the gate of your Zenjou family. Madam, I advise you to stop making such a fuss. You should have heard the story of the boy who cried wolf. If you cry too much, they won't be so dedicated to protecting you anymore~" At this moment, the voice rang in Tohsaka Aoi's ears once again.
"No, I'm fine. I just mistook something for a figure. You all continue to guard outside." Hearing this voice, Aoi Tohsaka understood that her servants couldn't help her catch the thief, so she could only let them continue guarding the door.
"Yes, Madam, if you have any questions, please feel free to give us your instructions." The men then left the room and continued their guard duty.
After watching the group leave, Aoi Tohsaka found a corner where she wouldn't be overheard and asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"Hehe, what do I want to do? Isn't that a rhetorical question you already know the answer to, Madam?" the voice rang out.
"Absolutely impossible!" Aoi Tohsaka's expression changed. Although she said that, the scenes of her being conquered and plucked flashed through her mind again. She was afraid that if that man really appeared in front of her, she would not be able to speak as forcefully as she did now.
"I never expected that gentle lady to have such a strong side. I'm really growing to like you more and more." A teasing voice rang in Tohsaka Aoi's ear, and a faint warmth seemed to be blowing on her earlobe. The tingling sensation was as if the man was really breathing hot air on her, making Tohsaka Aoi almost collapse to the ground.
"No...don't say those troubling things!" Tohsaka Aoi bit her lower lip, forcing herself to say stronger words to confront the other person.
"Hehe, but doing these things here is indeed a bit too much. I have no interest in doing those things in this room again... So, Mrs. Tohsaka, why don't you come out and find me?" the voice said.
"Are you kidding me...? How could I possibly..."
"Hey, don't be so decisive. I'm not someone who doesn't understand etiquette. You have to bring a suitable gift when you invite someone out. Mrs. Tohsaka, why don't you open the cupboard and see? I have a gift for you in there. After you see it, you can decide whether to refuse my offer. Maybe you'll change your mind?" The voice interrupted Tohsaka Aoi's refusal, and the implication in her words made her uneasy. The other person was so confident that she would change her mind after seeing the so-called "gift," so it was probably not a simple gift at all.
Aoi Tohsaka swallowed hard, took slow steps toward the cabinet, and then opened it.
"This is...!!" Aoi Tohsaka immediately noticed the small item in the cupboard. After picking it up, her initially confused expression gradually hardened, and feelings of unease and panic began to spread from her pupils.
"It seems you understand what I mean, Mrs. Tohsaka. I've given those guys outside a hint; if you leave alone willingly, no one will stop you. I'll be waiting for you at the XX Hotel. I hope you won't keep me waiting too long, otherwise, if my desires have nowhere to go... hehehe, you know what I mean." After saying this, the voice fell silent, leaving Tohsaka Aoi kneeling on the ground, bewildered, and beginning to weep.
……
At this moment, Wang Chong leaned back on the luxurious bed, a glass of red wine in his hand. The passionate scenes on the television screen created an ambiguous atmosphere. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, every detail meticulously planned, all in anticipation of that woman's arrival.
The abstract painting on the wall, predominantly pink, outlines distorted human figures. Dim yellow light spills onto the carpet, casting a hazy glow. A faint sandalwood scent permeates the air, subtly tantalizing the senses. Even the sky outside the window seems to complement the atmosphere, displaying an ambiguous pink hue.
Wang Chong took a sip of red wine, feeling the warm sensation of the alcohol burning in his throat. He slowly reached out and stroked the sheets, imagining Tohsaka Aoi lying there. What would her skin feel like? What fragrance would her breath bring? All sorts of possibilities swirled in his mind, filling him with excitement.
Time ticked by, and the air in the room seemed to heat up. Wang Chong adjusted his position, waiting with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. He knew that when Tohsaka Aoi arrived, it meant not only physical union, but also another shattering of her identity and moral boundaries. After this, she would never be able to refuse him again.
"dong dong dong"
"The door is unlocked."
The knocking interrupted Wang Chong's thoughts. He held his breath, watching the door slowly open. At that moment, the entire room seemed to hold its breath, awaiting the protagonist's entrance.
Aoi Tohsaka stood in the doorway, her hands clenched into fists. She took a deep breath and stepped into the space filled with desire. Pink light illuminated her face, outlining an expression of conflicted longing. She walked slowly forward, each step feeling like she was walking on a knife's edge.
Wang Chong's gaze was fixed on Tohsaka Aoi. She was still wearing that light green dress, which perfectly accentuated her figure. She gave the impression of a well-bred young lady transformed into a mother. It was a serene beauty completely different from Mrs. Irisviel's. As the distance closed, Wang Chong noticed that her eyes darted around, unable to meet his gaze directly.
Finally, Aoi Tohsaka stood before Wang Chong. They remained silent, only their breathing echoing clearly in the quiet room. Wang Chong put down his wine glass, rolled off the bed, and reached out to touch her cheek.
"No...don't touch me!" Tohsaka Aoi took a step back, avoiding Wang Chong's touch. She gripped her left wrist tightly with her right hand and mustered her courage to say, "I'm here now. Where's Rin? This has nothing to do with her. Let her go!"
"Rin? I don't quite understand what you mean, Mrs. Tohsaka." Wang Chong looked down at Tohsaka Aoi with a scrutinizing gaze, as if the one who had done wrong was not him, Wang Chong, but the beautiful woman in front of him.
"Stop...stop pretending! If you hadn't kidnapped Rin and left her hairband there, I wouldn't be here." Aoi Tohsaka gasped for breath, suppressing her inner panic. For her daughter, as a mother, she seemed to have an inexhaustible source of courage to support herself.
"Oh... I see. You've misunderstood me, Mrs. Tohsaka," Wang Chong said, feigning sudden realization.
"Misunderstanding...? What do you mean?" Tohsaka Aoi was taken aback, not understanding what Wang Chong was talking about.
"That headband was just something I happened to see on your daughter's head, so I bought a similar one and put it there. Since it's a gift, I bought it especially for that cute and lively little girl," Wang Chong said, looking troubled.
"So... so Rin... is alright?" Aoi Tohsaka asked, somewhat incredulously.
“Madam, if you don’t believe me, you can always contact your daughter,” Wang Chong said with a smile.
"..." Hearing the other person's words, Tohsaka Aoi realized she had been tricked. Her concern had clouded her judgment, leading her to this tavern to meet him. A nameless rage ignited within her, but compared to her fear of Wang Chong, it seemed insignificant. Especially after learning that Tohsaka Rin was unharmed, the courage that had been supporting her vanished. Now, all she wanted was to leave this awful place as quickly as possible.
"Since Rin is alright, then I'll take my leave." With that, Aoi Tohsaka turned to leave, but a large hand grabbed her arm tightly.
Chapter 212 Deep in the Quagmire (Part 1)
"What...what are you going to do?" Seeing her arm being firmly grabbed by the other party, Tohsaka Aoi was startled and her expression became somewhat flustered as she exclaimed.
"Mrs. Tohsaka...you don't think you can leave here without doing anything, do you?" Wang Chong sneered, grabbing Tohsaka Aoi's other arm and placing her directly in front of him. Seeing Tohsaka Aoi's slightly pale face, Wang Chong's violent heart grew even stronger.
"Let...let me go...Ugh!!" Tohsaka Aoi tried to resist, but she couldn't break free from Wang Chong's arms. Instead, Wang Chong pulled her into his embrace, his large hands cupping the back of her head, forcing her into another forceful kiss. Poor Tohsaka Aoi could only whimper and pound on Wang Chong's shoulder. But her weak attacks sounded more like coquetry to Wang Chong, only fueling his lewd desires.
