Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

And that's exactly what everyone wants to see.

They didn't care whether the Kurogane family was truly related to what Haramura Makoto showed on screen, but they were certain that Kurogane Yan did indeed have the idea of ​​extinguishing their dreams and turning them into mere walking corpses under the rules.

"So that's how it is. Is this what you were willing to do, even at the cost of disobeying my orders and paying the price, just to do it, Kanata?"

At this moment, Guidehara also put his communication device to his ear.

The voice that came from the other end was that of a middle-aged man.

"Yes, so, Father, are you satisfied with this result?"

"Will the Guide Yuan family gain huge profits from this operation?"

Kidehara responded with a light laugh.

Of course, huge benefits can be gained. Putting aside other countries, what does the downfall of the Black Iron family represent?

This means there are a lot of high-level vacancies, and the Guide Yuan family needs to take action now to send their people into these positions and expand their influence.

"Good, it seems you've come to understand what I taught you when you were a child."

Despite being separated by a great distance, Kanata Kitokuhara felt as if she saw her father's signature smiling face.

"That's all for now, I have to get back to work."

"Bring this boy back after this is over. That's what you really want to do, isn't it?"

Chapter 144: Exhausted

"boom--!"

Everything on the table was swept off and fell to the ground, making a clattering sound.

"minister."

The man, wearing a red suit and with his face and belly all bunched up in a ball, was squatting in the corner, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

That's right, he is Akaza.

He is Heitie Yan's number one lackey, and also the number one lackey of the Heitie family.

He never expected things to change so quickly.

He used to be someone who was high and mighty, able to use his power at will.

As it turned out, everything changed yesterday.

His past arrogance and domineering behavior has now become evidence against him.

If it were just criticism, that would be one thing.

At worst, he can go out and take over all the work, and that will be the end of it.

But this was aimed at the Black Iron Clan and the Akaza Clan behind him.

This is an attempt to completely eradicate them from the world of Japanese woodcutters.

"Minister, they have arrived."

He swallowed hard again, his eyes slightly unfocused. He stared intently at Kurogane, suppressing the fear in his heart.

"I know."

The act of standing up from the chair no longer exists; the chair has long since been thrown away somewhere.

If he hadn't been too late, he would have smashed the table in front of him to pieces.

"I'll deal with your matter after this crisis is over."

He got up and walked straight towards the door. All that Kurogane Yan left for Akaza was that last cold glance.

If it's just carelessness in normal times, that's one thing, since no one can do things perfectly.

However, the current situation is clearly beginning to damage the very foundation of the Black Iron Clan.

Akaza, who did such a thing, must pay the price.

"Pay...the...price".

Akaza's eyes completely lost focus, and he could only let his body slide down the corner of the wall little by little.

This is the main residence of the Kurogane family.

It wasn't the headquarters of the Japan Kanto Association, so even for Kurogane Yan, it still took a short while to walk from his study to the reception room.

When he arrived at the destination, a beautiful, still charming, black-haired young woman in a kimono walked directly up to him and stood in front of Hei Tieyan, tidying up his clothes before unbuttoning his collar in her rage.

"It's all here."

"Kurotetsu Ikki and Shizuku are also here."

The woman's face showed no tenderness, not only towards her husband in front of her.

Or perhaps the fact that she hadn't seen her son for nearly ten years didn't move this woman in the slightest.

"Okay, you can go back to your room now."

"It won't affect you."

Hei Tieyan's tone was also cold as he pressed down on his wife's hand.

"I see."

She remained expressionless, merely offering a slight nod, before turning and leaving.

The next second.

Hei Tieyan immediately opened the sliding door in front of him, revealing the room inside.

It's a very typical Japanese-style tatami room.

It's about fifty or sixty square meters, and on the tatami mats is a table that can seat more than ten people.

On either side of the table were his son and daughter.

The kid I misjudged, along with a few other guys, were all sitting there.

Naturally, Hei Tieyan calmly walked to his seat and sat down expressionlessly.

"What, you've already investigated and found the so-called evidence of the crime?"

As the meticulously trimmed beard twitched with the angry corners of Hei Tieyan's mouth, the oppressive aura of his high position, cultivated over many years, instantly spread outwards.

But who are these people sitting here?

"laugh--!"

With that sneer, everything seemed to subtly and silently permeate the world, and all the suppression was directly broken free.

"A low-level tactic."

It was Shinguji Kuro who spoke.

She raised her bright red nail polish and coldly scanned Hei Tieyan.

"Didn't we already collect the evidence of your Black Iron family's crimes for you?"

"There's no need to collect any more information. Just bring out everyone on this list and let us take them away."

Asagi Momiji took out a folded list from her handbag and pushed it across the table toward Kurogane Yan without getting up.

In the past, Asagi Momiji would never have been so rude.

But they're here today to cause trouble.

Since everyone's here to cause trouble, there's no need to maintain a superficial facade that's ultimately meaningless.

Hei Tieyan picked up the list and carefully scanned it from top to bottom.

The black aura around him grew increasingly thick, and the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.

"Are you sure this is the list you prepared?"

It's just a thin piece of paper.

He was slammed onto the table by the black iron, and it actually made the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

"Of course, this is the list we've prepared. Any questions?"

Shinguji Kurono maintained her nonchalant smile as she casually replied to Kurogane Gen.

"question?"

"Of course there is a problem."

Unable to contain his anger any longer, Hei Tieyan flipped the entire table over with both hands.

"The list you've drawn up is really detailed. Apart from underage children and women and children in the family, not a single person has been left out."

"It must have been really hard for you to write so many names on such a small piece of paper."

Are you trying to fight us to the death?

Black Iron's angry voice echoed in the room.

It's no wonder he was so angry.

In fact, he was already prepared to compromise before even entering the room.

After all, everything happened too suddenly. Every move hit Black Iron Appliances right where it hurt, both fatal and leaving them with no way to retaliate.

In this situation, sacrificing the pawn to save the king is the best course of action.

Although he was furious, Hei Tieyan knew very well that this was the only thing he could do.

As long as their demands aren't too unreasonable.

He can accept it all, enduring the pain for now, hoping to make a comeback someday.

This is also a suitable strategy.

But these guys in front of me are clearly trying to take advantage of us.

Not only the Kurogane family, but also all the affiliated families of the Kurogane family who worked in the Japanese "Alliance" branch were all accused of crimes.

Not one was left out.

If he agrees here today, tomorrow everyone in each family, except for the children who haven't yet obtained their magic knight licenses and the elderly retired soldiers, will have to go to jail.

They even went so far as to completely cut off their path.

Even the children who are still in school, they made sure to write it clearly on the list, whether they were their biological children or illegitimate children.

Isn't this telling him?

Don't even dream of a comeback. Will all your descendants have no future in the Japanese sword-wielding world?

"The fish may die, but the net will not break."

"Minister Yan of Black Iron".

The flying table was caught by Makoto Haramura with one hand, and then gently placed back on the ground.

"With your Black Iron Clan's current group of good-for-nothings, you're really no match for them."

Makoto Haramura's face showed a mocking expression.

After all, Hei Tieyan had no idea about the realm of 'Demon Man'.

He believed that A-rank knights were the pinnacle of the Bladebreakers.

So he probably didn't take the three demons in front of him seriously.

However, Kurogane Yan's next words made Haramura Makoto's expression immediately turn serious.

"Do you think you won't break the network because of the strength of the three of you?"

Kurogane Yan's icy gaze swept across the faces of Haramura Makoto, Stella, and Kurogane Ikki.

"What do you know?"

Haramura Makoto's gaze was fixed intently on Kurogane Yan.

The man accurately pointed out the three people present who possessed demonic powers.

Considering what he just said, this is definitely not a coincidence.
