Is this okay?

The next second, Leng Mo stared at Tanjiro with an extremely oppressive expression, and said to Tanjiro with a pained look on his face:

"Oh! Tanjiro! My dear Tanjiro! Think about it again, do you think we have any other choices now?"

"what?"

"Who said that again? Soldiers have their talents, cooks have their talents, everyone has their own unique abilities! We are the epitome of evil! I will not allow anyone to be more wicked than me!"

"what?"

"Think about it carefully, Tanjiro! Our trio of bandits went up and started hacking and slashing at Daki, scaring everyone around us into screaming. And you, Tanjiro! You stood up at that moment and protected everyone on this street in your own way. You are a hero! Everyone is happy! As for that innocent Upper Moon Five we killed, don't worry, no one will remember her. They'll just say she was unlucky. Nobody will realize that she was our target from the beginning. Isn't that a perfect plan?"

"It sounds fine, but something just doesn't feel right?"

Tanjiro agreed with the plan, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.

Don't you intend to be a good person?

Everyone here is on our side, except for an innocent Upper Moon who died. Isn't that too tragic?

"Alright, it's settled then!"

When Leng Mo saw that Tanjiro had something on his mind, he couldn't help but show a friendly smile. Kazuma and Kaneki beside him also expressed their understanding at this moment.

"Very good, from now on we can act without restraint!"

"Should we cut off the hand first, or the leg?"

In an instant, the three men, each wielding a Sun Wheel, stood in the moonlight, revealing smiles even more malevolent than demons. If Tanjiro hadn't known these three were his own people, he probably would have immediately unleashed a Sun Breathing attack.

"Um... isn't there a plan where everyone is a good person?"

Tanjiro asked unwillingly, staring wide-eyed at Leng Mo and the other two.

This is clearly wrong, it's definitely wrong!

Why do good people become bad people? Why do bad people become good people?

In response, Leng Mo looked at Tanjiro with utter indifference and said calmly, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Someone always has to step up, right?"

"But--!"

“There are no buts, Tanjiro. You have to understand, humans are like pigeons. When the first pigeon flies to the left, the rest of the pigeons will fly to the left. So, Tanjiro, do what you want to do.”

Leng Mo earnestly told Tanjiro that he didn't care about the situation at all.

"But...but...this is so unfair!" Tanjiro was still unwilling to accept it.

"Life isn't unfair, don't worry about it. Tanjiro, you must keep going strong!"

Leng Mo spoke earnestly to Tanjiro, having been prepared for this from the very beginning.

"Then, Tanjiro, you'll be a hero the next time we meet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Mo, Jin Mu, and Kazuma instantly disappeared from the rooftop.

Tanjiro was left standing there dumbfounded. At this moment, Tanjiro was completely unaware that Leng Mo and the other two had only devised this plan to cause trouble, and he didn't care at all, and was even a little looking forward to it.

The next second, at the shop where Duoji was, Leng Mo and his two companions appeared at the entrance, each holding a twin sword, with friendly and kind smiles on their faces.

"Who are you! What do you want! Guards! Where are the guards?!"

The madam guarding the gate screamed in terror as soon as she saw Leng Mo and his companions.

"Men! Charge!"

Leng Mo unleashed a tremendous roar, raising his weapon high and shouting.

"One gram—!"

"Take away the valuables!"

Kazuma and Kaneki drew their swords without hesitation and rushed in. They kicked the madam aside and stormed into the shop to get back the money they had just spent.

"..."

Holy crap! You guys are really something else!

You want to get something for free, huh!

Leng Mo was completely dumbfounded by this situation; he never expected that such an operation could be performed.

Ugh! I'm so annoyed!

We need to figure out a way to trick them!

For example, Ah Tan and I would be the heroes, and they would be the bandits.

Hey!

Chapter 299 Breath of the Sun! My Damn Wounded Slash!

In the blink of an eye, Leng Mo's immature plan took shape in his mind. As long as he remained calm, everything would be fine!

Leng Mo rushed in with a knife in hand, joining Kaneki and Kazuma's robbery plan.

But it doesn't matter!

The robbery was just part of the plan. Leng Mo needed to gain Jin Mu and He Zhen's trust now, otherwise he would expose his weakness later!

"Aaaaah! Guards! Robbery!"

The madam, witnessing this scene, screamed, her face filled with grief.

In the blink of an eye, Leng Mo sprinted to the madam and whispered cautiously to her:

"Don't be afraid, I'm an undercover agent!"

"Ok??"

The madam was completely bewildered upon hearing this, having no idea what had happened.

What does it matter to me that you're an undercover agent?

"Don't worry, I'm investigating your courtesan, you've noticed, haven't you? That courtesan named Fern Princess..." Leng Mo's voice was accompanied by an unprecedentedly gloomy aura, an aura that seemed to strike straight to the soul and instantly penetrated the madam's heart.

"Warabime-hime...what...does that mean?"

Upon hearing this, the madam broke out in a cold sweat and stood frozen in place.

Just as Leng Mo said, the madam knew Fern Princess better than anyone else, as she was the most beautiful courtesan in her household, and even knew some secrets that others did not know.

Princess Fern is an extremely vicious woman who never treats those around her kindly. She will beat up those around her at the slightest dissatisfaction. However, as the most popular courtesan, the madam showed her the most lenient attitude, since no one in the red-light district is a happy person.

Perhaps it was her past experiences that made Warabi so vicious; the madam thought that every pitiful person has something hateful about them.

Surviving in this chaotic world is already difficult enough.

but!

What the madam didn't expect still happened.

People disappear from this redeemed street every now and then. Some who were redeemed leave, but eventually disappear. Some are fine one day, but are gone the next.

At first, no one cared. After all, this was a red-light district, and there would always be people who wanted to escape.

But the madam was different; as the shop owner, she certainly knew more than others.

That's right!

The madam was shocked to discover something terrible: not only had those who had redeemed themselves and left disappeared, but also some people who had offended or displeased Princess Waragi had also vanished.

Although the two didn't have much in common, the madam, who noticed this, didn't make a fuss, since it concerned her shop's business.

Faced with this situation, she ultimately chose to remain silent.

And now! Leng Mo seemed to know everything, staring at her coldly. At this moment, she felt her hands and feet were ice-cold, and even had a feeling that she was about to die.

In that instant, Leng Mo sensed something, stared at the madam in front of him, and spoke slowly and earnestly.

"Judging from your reaction, you probably already know what I'm talking about... Warabihime, that woman. She must have killed a lot of people, right?"

"No... I don't know what you're talking about." The madam trembled as she looked at the condescending, earnest man before her, who exuded an extreme evil aura.

"Oh! Boss lady, please think it over carefully. There are many unknown things in this world, and everyone makes choices. Whether you are a good person or a bad person, everyone's choices will bring you a different future. And you are facing this choice now."

Leng Mo's voice seemed to come from the depths of his soul, each word piercing the heart. Though seemingly unrelated, it concealed a sense of targeting that was impossible to ignore.

"I do not understand……"

"No! You understand, you understand how many people Warabihime killed, you understand that everything you did was for your shop's business, and you also understand that you could only do this to ensure the girls in your shop could survive in this chaotic world. You understand even more that you could only give yourself a chance to survive by turning a blind eye... Am I wrong?"

"You...how..."

"How would I know? I knew from the beginning, and you are also very aware of your current situation. If you are exposed, you will be an accomplice of Princess Fern! But it doesn't matter. Now I can give you a chance to extricate yourself from this whole affair."

"hiss……"

The madam gasped upon hearing this. She understood what Leng Mo meant and also knew that such things were common; dirty deals in private always exploited people's weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

At this moment, Leng Mo revealed a friendly smile and glanced at Kaneki and Kazuma, who were grabbing money at the counter and scaring the hostesses into screaming.

"They both saw it, right?"

"Yes...yes." The madam looked at the two thugs in front of her, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

"These two are lawless bandits who have recently appeared, and I'm currently infiltrating their ranks as an undercover agent. My purpose in coming here is to deal with these two and Warabihime. But don't worry, as long as you're on my side, just step forward and identify these two as villains. I'll lure them to Warabihime, and then they'll have a dog-eat-dog battle! Warabihime will definitely die, and then..."

“At that time… I…” The madam seemed to understand something, and her eyes flashed with a sharp light.

“That’s right. By then, the one who took lives will be dead, killed by bandits. Your shop’s reputation will be preserved, and everyone will just think that the one who took lives was unlucky… No one will suspect that the people who went missing from your shop before were related to the one who took lives, right?”

As Leng Mo spoke, a warm smile appeared on his face, filled with unprecedented anticipation.

“That’s right… that way no one will know that Princess Fern is harming people in secret…” The madam nodded, her expression serious.

She was a madam, someone who had spent her whole life struggling in chaotic times; what hadn't she seen?

In the blink of an eye, the brothel madam, a seasoned veteran of the chaotic world, swiftly pulled out her purse and silently handed it to Leng Mo.

"This is the reward for the adults."

"As expected of the old lady, she is more reliable than anyone else."

"Not at all, not at all, it's all thanks to you, sir."

The madam smiled obsequiously, saying that whether or not money was received were two completely different things.

The madam was smarter than anyone else. Now that they had been robbed, she knew she couldn't keep her money. She might as well just take it out to ensure her safety. Even if Leng Mo was lying to her, at least she could buy peace of mind with money, as long as no one was hurt.

If Leng Mo wasn't lying to him, then everything would be fine. His reputation would be preserved, and it would be better to spend some money to eliminate the biggest destabilizing factor than anything else.

In an instant, Leng Mo and the madam reached a secret deal.

After putting the money away, Leng Mo pretended that nothing had happened and asked, "Where is Fern Princess?"

"It's in the innermost room on the third floor."

"very good."

"I'll leave everything to you, sir."

"Well, back off."

"I'll be leaving now."

Upon hearing this, the madam immediately turned and ran out of the shop, pretending to be terrified as she went to contact the guards.

Then Leng Mo revealed a friendly smile, and said kindly to Kaneki and Kazuma, who had just taken back the money he had spent:

"Let's go! We haven't played with a courtesan yet! Let's see just how beautiful a courtesan is, slurp!"

"Oiran! Swoosh!" Upon hearing this, Kazuma immediately revealed a wild smile, his Nichirin Blade almost ready to strike.

Daki is a top-tier beauty, and she's also an enemy.

It's so much fun chopping things up!

"The courtesan is a rare beauty...hehehe!"

Kaneki, who was standing nearby, also thought of this and drew his Nichirin Blade, looking somewhat impatient.

Such a beautiful girl, it must feel amazing to chop her up.

For a moment, Shin and Kaneki showed kind and friendly smiles. This was a rare opportunity, and if they missed it, they might never experience it again!

The most beautiful courtesan! That's one in a million!

A beautiful girl! She's one in a million!
