If the family is gone, everything is gone!
Honor, wealth, power, status, all of it, all of it, will drift away from him!
Tabuchi Daisuke, crying and trembling, said, "Please stop! The Tabuchi Family is willing to compensate for your mental losses and become your vassal!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Ran grinned and said, "Opportunities come only once, and the Tabuchi Family has missed it."
"Now, I just want to kill you all."
Tabuchi Daisukeâs eyes widened, tearing at the corners, as he shouted hoarsely, "Sir, please give the Tabuchi Family another chance!"
Next to him, Ogata Shitou had to admit that he was thoroughly enjoying the show.
The bastard like a dog, whoâd reason with such scum!
Back when the Tabuchi Family was rising, though they were a notable family, they always depended on the Ogata Family as vassals, benefiting greatly.
But once they rose to power, they turned their back, betrayed their master, and frequently provoked them, trying to trample on Ogata Shitouâs face to make a name for the Tabuchi Family.
Seeing the current situation, Ogata Shitou had only two words â satisfying!
Utterly satisfying!
Bang!
In the sky, the black feathered, red streaked crow, a symbol of death, flapped its wings again, releasing a hot mass of lava.
This lava landed on Tabuchi Daisukeâs face.
After a dull, miserable scream, Tabuchi Daisuke couldnât move and was completely dead.
However...
Ogata Shitou noticed that this "Profound Immortal" beside him didnât stop there.
Lava fell in masses.
Everywhere in the Tabuchi Family were severed limbs and stumps, with the scent of blood and burnt flesh filling the air.
These bloody methods induced a gag reflex even in Ogata Shitou, who was accustomed to death.
Of the entire Tabuchi Family, less than one in ten survived!
"Too... too cruel..."
Listening to Ogata Shitouâs dreamlike mumblings, Ma Ran sneered without speaking.
The Tabuchi Family, an infamous family of traitors.
Killing them all might cause some injustice.
If you spare some, surely many will escape!
However...
Ma Ran ultimately had some limits; he only killed those on the blacklist, the traitors of Earth Civilization, sparing the chefs, maids, and cleaners of the Tabuchi Family.
However, from Ogata Shitouâs perspective, wiping out the direct bloodline of the entire Tabuchi Family was too ruthlessly iron-blooded!
As if there wasnât the slightest empathy or compassion!
Ogata Shitou, unclear of the situation, couldnât help but ask, "Why go to such lengths?"
Facing this question, Ma Ran simply smiled and answered with a rhetorical question, "If I donât kill, how would they know my methods?"
Ogata Shitou subconsciously opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.
In his view, throughout all of JapanâJomon, Yayoi, Kofun, Asuka, Kamakura, Edo periodsânever in history was there anyone as venomous as Zhao Guanlan!
He simply didnât understand the preciousness of life!
Watching Ogata Shitou try to hide his real emotions clumsily, Ma Ran couldnât help but laugh heartily: "So indignant..."
"Honestly speaking..."
"Do you really have these feelings?"
Here Ma Ran paused for a moment, then looked at Ogata Shitou as if seeing a fascinating artificial creation: "Youâre just a metal construct, and you value human life?"
"Your behavior is more human-like than a real Earthling..."
Ogata Shitou, being intelligent, immediately grasped the meaning of this.
His pupils shrank slightly, his bodyâs hairs stood on end, he held his breath, and almost stopped his heartbeat, trembling uncontrollably.
"You mean I am actually a..."
"Robot?"
Could it be that his true identity is actually that of a damned robot?
Skin, blood, muscles, bones, nerves...
All just pieced together with cold parts in labs and factories.
Emotions, thoughts, family, friends...
Merely artificially created false fragments.
The National Guardian of Dahe, S-level Ability User, Yin Yang Master, Amaterasu of the Reiwa Era...
All just driven by those with ulterior motives behind the scenes.
If these assumptions are true...
If what this guy says is true, whatâs the point of my existence?
Why was I created?
"Hahahahaha!"
The other laughed recklessly, his expression malicious and said, "Little Ogata, youâre too easy to trick."
"That was just a joke."
For a moment, Ogata Shitou couldnât figure out which words from this "Profound Immortal" were true and which were false.
Heâs starting to question life itself...
