Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Such restaurants may not have a large customer flow on weekdays, but they are definitely not in this deserted state.

The reason for this is that today, the restaurant owner moved all the reserved guests away.

The purpose was simply to entertain a VIP guest.

Now, in this empty restaurant, there is only one man, quite burly with a dashing beard, waiting here.

The man's considerable anxiety was evident from his frequent glances at his wristwatch and the clock on the wall.

"Mayor Lan Yu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Just then, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out in the room.

As the blinding purple light suddenly shone, Nangong Nayue, dressed in a pure white dress, and Haramura Makoto appeared directly in front of Lanyu Xianzhai.

(Still appearing and disappearing mysteriously as always.)

Lan Yuxianzhai's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly shifted his gaze from Nangong Nayue to the brown-haired youth beside her.

The seemingly messy yet actually well-ordered, exquisitely styled hair, and most importantly, the inhumanly refined appearance and the aura emanating from the body that is impossible to ignore and makes one's throat tighten.

"No, this is what I should do."

Lan Yuxian quickly lowered his head and raised it, using his whole body to show his respectful attitude.

"Please take a seat, Your Majesty. This is Nangong Gongmo."

"Ok!"

Nangong Nayue played her role as a secretary quite well.

Today, she didn't even hold up her parasol the whole time; instead, she very politely came to the dining table and pulled out the chair for the head of the table.

She sat down next to Haramura Makoto only after he had taken his seat.

Seeing this scene, Lan Yuxianzhai was filled with emotion.

After all, Nangong Nayue is usually so unruly, but now she seems to have been tamed.

However, he couldn't say anything, since everyone understood Nangong Nayue's motives.

Nangong Nayue is sacrificing herself for the sake of this island.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Or, what conditions do you want to discuss with me, Mayor Lan Yu?"

Haramura Makoto's sudden words sent a shiver down Lan Yu Xianzhai's spine.

He had barely sat down in the chair when he was still preparing his words, wondering how he should begin.

As it turned out, His Majesty actually asked the question first.

And when he asked the question and the answer was still the same, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"That's not how it is, Your Majesty."

Startled, Lan Yuxianzhai jumped up from her chair.

"We asked because we hope to have the honor of knowing your future plans and to provide you with assistance."

Despite the fact that the man in front of him seemed to be very gentle.

However, he had not forgotten that the person in front of him was a complete menace, and possessed a weapon powerful enough to completely destroy the island.

The oppressive feeling he experienced during their first meeting still makes him feel suffocated to this day.

"Alright, there's no need to be so alarmed."

"I didn't mean anything by it."

Haramura Makoto gestured for Lan Yuxianzhai to sit down first.

With a heart full of trepidation, Lan Yuxian slowly sat down. In the quiet space, the only sound was the man's heavy breathing.

"You want to ask me if I have any plans to rule Itogami Island, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Despite feeling somewhat apprehensive, Lan Yuxianzhai now roughly understood that the person in front of him seemed to want him to speak frankly.

So even though his heart was pounding wildly, he still gritted his teeth and started under Makoto Haramura's watchful gaze.

"We want to know if you have any intention of completely bringing Itogami Island under your control."

"Instead of just serving as a transitional step for your territory's right to compete, as it is now."

Lan Yu Xian Zhai's rhetoric was quite skillful.

Although he didn't say it directly, what he meant was that he acknowledged all of Makoto Haramura's activities on Itogami Island.

“So what if it is, so what if it’s not?”

"Which side do you want me to be on?"

With one hand supporting his left cheek, Makoto Haramura's lips curled into a playful smile as he lazily gazed at Sensai Lanyu.

Nangong Nayue also sighed softly.

In her eyes, His Majesty the True Ancestor's perverse sense of humor had begun again.

Itogami Island is such a small place, with hardly any population. How could a True Ancestor possibly take notice of it?

The same goes for Lan Yuxianzhai. Although Itogami Island is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Japanese government, everyone knows in reality that Itogami Island is a very, very small country.

Its territory is completely autonomous and has virtually no connection with the Japanese government.

Isn't it great to be your own local tyrant?

No, that's not right. If that's the case, Lan Yu Xian Zhai already agreed, so what is his purpose in insisting on seeing this True Ancestor?

An unlikely idea suddenly flashed through Nangong Nayue's mind.

Now, the pressure has also fallen on Lan Yu Xian Zhai.

Lan Yuxianzhai also gritted his teeth in a sudden burst of energy.

"If possible, I hope you will bring Itogami Island under your rule."

"..."

Nangong Nayue's expression changed instantly.

His previous calm and indifferent demeanor suddenly turned somber.

However, Makoto Haramura ignored Nagatsuki Minami's side, his lazy gaze turning somewhat intrigued.

“Normally, I wouldn’t have this thought.”

"After all, the witch next to me doesn't really want me to do this, and this can be considered an agreement between us."

"While I don't place that much importance on promises, I still want to keep them to a certain extent."

"So state your reasons."

Nangong Nayue's expression turned even more unpleasant.

To be honest, she never thought that Makoto Haramura would be able to fully keep the unspoken agreement between them.

Yes, it was an unspoken agreement.

It wasn't just a verbal agreement; it was something they both tacitly agreed to.

But she never imagined that she would be betrayed by her invisible teammate.

It was a backstab that directly pierced her carotid artery.

“We know that even if Itogami Island is brought under your rule, you will definitely expand your territory.”

"Our only hope is that Itogami Island can maintain its current autonomous mode."

"Speak the key."

Haramura Makoto suddenly spoke up, directly interrupting Lan Yu Xianzhai's narration.

That calm gaze made Lan Yuxianzhai swallow nervously, and he subconsciously blurted out the truth.

“We have completely lost control of the Yase faction. The reason why the Flame Banquet was held on Itogami Island is because of the Yase faction’s growing power.”

"At the same time, we also have a lot of dissatisfaction with our local community."

"Therefore, they hope to break free from the constraints of the local government by changing allegiance."

"I see."

"So you value the fact that the True Ancestor doesn't interfere in affairs."

Makoto Haramura scoffed out loud.

Now he and Nangong Nayue both understood what kind of wicked scheme the Blue Feather Immortal Sect was plotting.

Simply put, although Itogami Island is undergoing a complete change of ownership, it will still have to submit to others.

However, being subordinate to the Japanese government is completely different from being subordinate to the Emperor Shinzo.

Just like them now.

Yes, they do indeed possess autonomy and can largely disregard orders originating from within their own borders.

However, many commands still need to be considered.

Otherwise, if the Japanese government cuts off supplies to Itogami Island, this man-made island, isolated in the Atlantic Ocean, will instantly fall into crisis.

But it's different under a True Ancestor.

Unlike politicians who love to fight for power and profit, the True Ancestor, who is immortal and whose fighting power stands at the pinnacle of the world, is a creature that is truly detached from worldly affairs.

rule?

Wherever these true ancestors stood, that place naturally became their territory.

There is no need to worry about resistance or betrayal, because no being dares to truly offend the True Ancestor.

But who would want to offend the True Ancestor?

Aside from those arrogant orcs, the True Ancestor's rule was quite lenient.

The territory was basically left to the nobles to govern themselves, and the True Ancestor never interfered. He was extremely happy.

Their choice of Makoto Haramura makes their intentions all too clear.

There are indeed four true ancestors in the world.

However, only the other three True Ancestors possessed their own territories and their own bloodlines.

This Fourth Ancestor never developed any of these things.

This means that even if the Fourth Progenitor began to expand his territory, he did not have enough vampire descendants to help him manage the country.

At that time, the people from Itogami Island will likely come in handy.

"His Majesty!"

Lan Yuxianzhai broke out in a cold sweat again.

He was genuinely scared this time.

Just now, he was only afraid of Haramura Makoto's imposing manner, but now he was truly afraid of Haramura Makoto's ability to see into people's hearts.

To be honest, he and the officials of Itogami Island really didn't expect that Makoto Haramura was so good at understanding people's hearts, and that he could see through their thoughts in an instant.

After all, these are records that have been passed down from ancient times.

This fourth progenitor had absolutely no interest in building power or procreating.

He was like a shooting star that flashed across the sky; from his birth to his death, he only defeated the god of misfortune, Cain.

It's as if this is the meaning behind his birth.

Therefore, this true ancestor must have been powerful in battle but inexperienced in worldly affairs.

That's right, that's what they think.

That's all bullshit; he's going to die here today.

Playing such a petty trick in front of such an important person, which is obvious to everyone, made Lan Yuxian feel as if he could already see death beckoning to him.

"It's nothing, it's normal for you to have this kind of thought."
