Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Beauty (21)_1 Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Beauty (21)_1 âIsnât this a bit too eager!â
Faced with Fu Qianâs question, Suzune smirked coldly, her hands exerting force as the paper heart slowly crumpled under her fingers.
âSeeing how much Kana Kisaragi is looking forward to your dinner, even I couldnât help but become curious. I just couldnât resist borrowing the invitation over. You wouldnât mind, would you?â
Her hands pressed against the tabletop, Suzune stared intently at Fu Qianâs face, her tone distinctly unfriendly.
There was no doubt, the Night Watchman was here to pick a fight.
She must have seen the special invitation while escorting a suspect home.
âHow could I? Itâs just that Lady Suzuneâs esteemed attention is both shocking and overwhelming.â
Despite Suzuneâs menacing look, Fu Qian continued to speak with a beaming smile.
âI actually understand what youâre thinking.â
Seeing how recklessly Fu Qian was behaving, Suzune leaned in closer, her voice growing even deeper.
âAs soon as todayâs test is over and Kana Kisaragiâs Miracle Elixir is deemed ineffective, youâll be able to do whatever you want, without worrying about me causing you any trouble, right?â
âIf you think about it, isnât that so?â
Fu Qian looked genuinely surprised.
âIt is reasonable, yeah, but unfortunately, I wonât let you get your way.â
It was apparent that Suzune had learned from their previous encounters, and she wasnât going to let Fu Qianâs attitude make her lose her composure.
âI no longer care about how Kisaragi Iketa actually died, but I will never allow, a cold-blooded scum like you, to do the same thing to his daughter at this time.â
âI understand your feelings, but are you sure thatâs what the person in question also thinks?â
In the face of Suzuneâs deadly declaration, Fu Qian, with his chin in hand, looked quite unfazed.
âŠ
His question clearly caught Suzune off guard, her breath hitching as if she were recalling some unpleasant memories.
âThe two daughters of the Kisaragi family are indeed hard to understand.â
âI canât imagine what youâve done to them, but Kana Kisaragi certainly doesnât believe a word I say and is quite looking forward to tonightâs dinner.â
âEven her sister hasnât said a thing about it.â
âThat just means youâre poor at reading people.â
In response to Suzuneâs confusion, Fu Qian offered his criticism.
âThe difference between human hearts is beyond imagination. For Kana Kisaragi, as long as she can get the attention she wants, pain and blood mean nothing.â
âIâve noticed it long ago, she truly is beyond saving.â
Suzune nodded slowly, surprisingly agreeing with Fu Qianâs viewpoint.
âAnd you, to be honest, even I have to admit, youâre quite impressive as an ordinary person.â
âSharp-witted, cold-blooded, and understanding of human nature, this allows you to thrive within the rules, satisfying your perverse desires without punishment.â
âBut sadly, in this world, there arenât only one set of rules.â
âI used to get caught up in empty speculations too, wondering whether the existence of Transcendent powers was good or bad for the world.â
âBut as of today, Iâm immensely grateful that I possess such a power⊠the power to break the rules temporarily.â
While speaking, a shiny dagger appeared in Suzuneâs hand, and with a flip, the hard tabletop was sliced like tofu, leaving a crisscross of marks.
âNow, may I have a taste of your delicacy?â
âSurely the dinner canât be prepared if Kana Kisaragi doesnât come, right?â
âHow could that be!â
In the face of Suzuneâs nearly overflowing murderous aura, Fu Qian shook his head, his smile undiminished.
âAlthough the guest has arrived a bit early, some of the more time-consuming dishes have actually been prepared ahead of time.â
âPlease wait a moment.â
After finishing speaking, Fu Qian stood up gracefully amidst Suzune Kisaragiâs bewildered gaze and turned to walk toward the kitchen.
Upon entering the kitchen, Fu Qian reached out to lift a lid on the stove.
From this angle, one could actually see steaming soup beneath.
âŠ
Was this guy really preparing dinner?
As she struggled to believe what she was seeing, Suzune Kisaragi suddenly noticed something else that was off.
Darcy Crawford, this Man-Eater Demon, had unaccountably put on a mask at some point.
It was the head of a turkey, brightly colored with a fierce expression.
At that moment, she faintly recalled seeing him pick up something casually on his way to the kitchen.
âPlease, help yourself. Donât be shy.â
While scrutinizing this extremely ugly sight, Fu Qian had apparently already served the soup and returned to place it on the table.
This isâŠ
Suzune Kisaragi instinctively looked down and saw in the beautifully arranged soup bowl, the creamy-white broth was thick, obviously simmered for a long time.
A peculiar smell mingled with the fragrance of cream, incessantly creeping into her nostrils.
However, upon seeing what was floating in the soup, Suzune Kisaragi first froze, then nearly vomited.
There were clusters of tissue the size of walnuts, tender white, with distinctive wrinkles on the surface⊠these were the brains of some entity.
And Suzune Kisaragi, with her experience, would not mistake them for the brains of any livestock this time.
âDidnât you say that only the freshest tastes good? From whom did you get this?â
Struggling to suppress her rolling stomach, Suzune Kisaragi gritted her teeth and asked.
âThis one isnât actually fresh.â
Due to the mask, Fu Qianâs voice was somewhat muffled.
âBut the brain is different from other parts, too fresh and the mind has too many random thoughts, so itâs better to let it calm down a bit for a tastier flavor.â
âTake your time drinking it, thereâs plenty more over there.â
âYou cold-blooded beast!â
Faced with the gruesome turkey head before her, Suzune Kisaragi finally couldnât bear it any longer and roared lowly.
In the flicker of cold light, the dagger tore through the air, aiming straight for Fu Qianâs head.
Although she had made up her mind to eliminate this menace at any cost when she saw his message, her determination only grew stronger after witnessing what she had just seen.
Hm?
However, in the next moment, this deadly strike fueled by a Transcendentâs fury, surprisingly missed.
In the blink of an eye, the figure with the turkey head had taken a step back, not even grazing the hem of his clothes.
Incredulous at the scene before her, Suzune Kisaragiâs body stiffened, feeling her understanding of reality being challenged.
âAre you a Transcendent?â
In the next second as she realized what had happened, her voice turned shrill.
Such speed, it was impossible for an ordinary person to achieve!
So this guy was never a normal human being, that was the only possible explanation!
âYouâve been a Transcendent all alongâŠâ
The moment she realized this, Suzune Kisaragiâs heart was filled with even more intense fury.
He had been a Transcendent all along, she had had the chance to eliminate this disaster much earlier⊠and some people didnât have to dieâŠ
But she hadnât.
