Chapter 406 Who do you think the New Guts Method is protecting?
"Eight hundred million is the reward I can offer right now. In addition, if you are willing to stand up and testify against Kikunojo Tendou for stealing the Seven Star Relics, summoning Scorpio, and killing many police officers, you will only be an accomplice, not the principal offender."
While I cannot officially absolve you of your crimes, I can communicate with the Emperor to have him withdraw the arrest warrant for you.
Tendo Kisara is very sincere. If it were a normal criminal, he might have agreed and used the opportunity to clear his name.
However, Hiruko Kagetane wasn't a normal person; he had his own set of logic, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha..."
"What are you laughing at? Do you think the price isn't enough?"
"I'm not laughing because I think your offer isn't enough, but because I'm laughing at myself for being seen as someone who cares about money and being wanted by the police. President Tendo, are you looking down on me?"
Hiruko Kagetane stopped laughing and asked back.
There was silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a pause before the voice said, "Wanted? You might think you're invincible because of your superior skills, but what about the money, Hiruko Kagetane? Aren't you only working for your backer, Tendo Kikunojo, for money?"
"Don't try to trap me, and what a criminal says in a phone conversation probably can't be used as evidence to bring down that guy, Kikunojo Tendo."
Kisara Tendo, who had the recording function on: "..."
"Besides, I don't need money to do things for others. If I needed money, wouldn't it be better to rob a bank armored truck?"
"Then what is it for?"
"It just so happens that what the other party wants to achieve is also the result I want to see."
Hiruko Kagetane's answer made Tendogi even more thoughtful.
"Destroying the Tokyo Safety Zone is the result you want to see?"
No, that's not right. Kikunojo Tendo's goal is to stop the implementation of the Gastrea New Method.
So, your goal is also to stop the implementation of the Gastrea method, right?
"Correct answer, but unfortunately there's no reward."
"But why? The Gastrea reforms are supposed to give the Cursed Children the human rights they deserve, but isn't your daughter also a Cursed Child? Don't you love your daughter at all? Don't you care about her?"
Tendo Kisara asked the question.
"Ha, although I'm a madman, I still have some feelings for my only remaining biological daughter. But you, President Tendo, aren't you misunderstanding something?"
"What have I misunderstood?"
"The role of the gastrulation method."
"What's there to misunderstand?"
"Who do you think the Gastrea Act protects?"
"A child of curses, isn't he?"
Tendogi's brows furrowed even more, puzzled by the meaning of the person on the other end of the phone.
"Some of them are, but more of them are protecting the ordinary people in this world who have no powerful forces but occupy most of the mainstream society."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Think about it. In the past, the children of curses were mostly abandoned by their biological parents after they were born."
When those children have no understanding of the world, they are condemned by the world with unfounded accusations. They have done nothing wrong, yet they suffer the malice of the vulgar people in this world.
Of course, since they are still children ten years after the disaster, they can only passively accept everything the world gives them.
However, the children of the curse will not remain children forever. Some will grow up smoothly, and in the next ten years, they will start to think and develop their own ideas about the world.
And when a cursed child begins to wonder why the world treats them so unfairly, guess what will happen?
Will those cursed children who are treated unfairly ask why?
Even if they did, would anyone answer them?
Even if some people would answer, will those who harmed them under the pretext of being cursed children realize their mistakes and stop harming them?
the answer is negative!
Now that the cursed children have been hurt again and have grown up, what do you think they will do when faced with ordinary humans who are weaker than them and whom they could kill with a flick of their wrist?
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
Tendogi replied in a lower, more subdued voice; she already knew what Hiruko Kagetane meant.
"That's right. The cursed child will kill the ordinary people who harm them, and the ordinary people will hate the cursed child, whom they have always regarded as a monster, even more. The conflict between the two will intensify, and eventually, a war between the ordinary people and the cursed child will break out, and the old social order will be completely destroyed."
Do you think the Cursed Child can win?
"I don't know, but as long as ordinary humans continue to reproduce, the number of cursed children will always be replenished."
Even if ordinary humanity ultimately triumphs, it will pay an extremely heavy price, likely exceeding the price paid during the Great Cataclysm.
"You're a madman! What good does it do you to plunge this world into chaos and drag it into the abyss?"
Tendo Kisara couldn't help but ask.
"I don't think the end of chaos is an abyss; on the contrary, I think the end of chaos is a staircase."
When the war breaks out, goes on, and ends, the flawed world will be corrected, everything will be reshuffled in the war, and a new world will be established.
Those who survive, whether they are children of the curse, ordinary humans, or cyborgs like myself from the New Human Project, will receive a proper identity in the new world, commensurate with their own value and power.
"What if the human world is destroyed as a result?"
"That proves it should be so."
Hiruko Kagetane is not an ordinary antisocial madman. On the contrary, he is a fanatic who pursues the realization of his own value, seeks to make the existence value of everyone in the world reflect, and wants to change the world.
Such people have one characteristic: they are virtually impossible to persuade by others until their own beliefs are completely shattered.
"Broly, could you bring Hiruko Kagetane here?"
Having no other choice, Kisara Tendo shouted loudly into the phone.
Broly heard it because the phone was placed on the table with the speakerphone on.
"Hina..."
Just as he hesitated, Hiruko Kagetane shouted decisively.
"What is it, Dad?"
Hiruko Kohina peeked out from the next room, her hair plastered to her forehead with sweat.
"Come here and tell Broly not to arrest your father, me."
Hiruko Kohina puffed out her cheeks, but still walked up to the Saiyan and bossed Broly, "I won't allow you to grab my dad!"
"President Tendo, did you hear what my daughter said? You're not the only one who can influence Broly Boy."
Hiruko Kagetane said into the phone.
"I'm sorry, Broly, I've put you in a difficult position. Just pretend I didn't say anything, you can come back now."
After a moment of silence, Tendo Kisara spoke.
Broly wanted to agree, but Hiruko Kagetane forced him to stay: "Don't be in such a hurry, Hina. Didn't you find solo sparring boring? Broly's here, you can ask him to spar with you."
Half an hour later...
"Come visit Hina more often when you have time, so we can build a relationship. My daughter rarely plays with children her own age."
Before Broly left, Hiruko Kagetane pulled him aside and gave him some instructions.
"Woo~"
Hina pouted, but didn't say anything in protest. This child was a bit like Esdeath and Jibril; they were all the type who loved fighting and killing.
Broly only sparred with her for a short while, and Hiruko Kohina's happiness level increased significantly, and her attitude towards him improved a lot.
. . . .
When Broly returned to Scorpio's side, Scorpio had a new guest.
"Broly~"
The new guest was very enthusiastic, waving and greeting the Saiyan boy.
"What are you doing here?"
Because of Hiruko Kagetane's rejection, Tendo Kisara was in a bad mood, and when he saw his nemesis, he became even more annoyed.
"This is the old port area, not your Tendo Agency. Some people are really meddling in other people's business!"
Sima Weizhi replied in a sarcastic tone.
"Miss Sima, what brings you here?"
Broly was quite polite, though.
"Don't call me Miss Sima, just call me Sister Weizhi. I came to see you and bring some delicious food for my future husband."
Sima Weizhi smiled radiantly as she spoke, waving the deluxe bento box in her hand.
"Broly has already eaten the food I brought."
Tendo Kisara stood in front of the other party and said.
"I've heard Satomi say that Broly has a big appetite. He definitely didn't eat enough of the cheap bento you brought."
"Oh dear, didn't you used to call me Rentaro? Why are you being so formal now, calling me Satomi?"
"A gentleman does not take what others cherish. Although I am not a gentleman but a woman, I still do not take what others cherish. Miss Kisara, I heard that you and Satomi are childhood friends, with a deep affection for each other since childhood. I wonder if you have confessed your feelings to each other or pledged your lives to one another?"
Sima Weizhi casually asked the question.
"Ha, Rentaro and I are just siblings. At present, we only have pure family affection. It's just that some people have impure thoughts and always like to use colored glasses to speculate about other people's pure relationships."
Tendou Kisara made a sarcastic remark and began to confront Sima Miori in front of him.
The reason for this dramatic change in their attitudes was simply because Broly had demonstrated such high value.
As a result, they could no longer consider personal feelings when it came to their attitude towards Broly.
Both Sima Miori, the daughter of Sima Heavy Industries, and Tendou Kisara, the former eldest daughter of the Tendou family who wanted to avenge her parents, are rational individuals.
"Is that so? Then I misunderstood."
Sima Weizhi said this and then looked at the Saiyan boy.
"Broly, I heard from Satomi that your master is coming here, but I wonder what she likes?"
Upon hearing this, Tendo Kisara was taken aback.
"My master isn't an old woman; she enjoys fine wine and lively banquets."
Broly refuted Sima Miori's use of the term "master," but also answered her question.
"Then we'll have to prepare more."
Sima Weizhi walked over, spread out a picnic mat on the ground, and opened the deluxe lunchbox.
"By the way, I wonder what her criteria are for women who want to become your wife?"
The girl in the kimono asked, then picked up a piece of eel sushi with her chopsticks and fed it to the boy.
"Um, oh dear, I don't know."
Broly ate the sushi fed to him by Sima Miori and answered the other party's question truthfully.
"What kind of assessment?"
Tendo Kisara sat down on the other side and asked the question.
"Could you join Crystal Palace's assessment?"
Broly replied.
"What, Miss Kisara wants to be his wife, but doesn't know this kind of thing?"
Sima Weizhi began speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"As expected, they weren't very sincere."
"I've just been a bit busy and haven't been paying attention to these things, Broly. Could you tell me more specifically?"
"Your initial refusal to let me become my wife greatly displeased the other members of Crystal Palace who were already my wives. They all believed that Crystal Palace was not a place anyone could join."
What was that saying again? Right, you guys ignored me before, but now I'll make you regret it.
Therefore, if you want to join Crystal Palace now, you must pass my master's test. Only when she deems you to have passed can you join.
Otherwise, even if you were willing to become my wives now, I would have to regretfully refuse you.
Broly said he was sorry, but he didn't seem to care much.
When it comes to acquiring happiness points, Broly doesn't really care about the so-called "romantic targets."
The people he pursues, with whom he has no personal relationship, are not as important as the friends he makes online.
In today's world, in Broly's ranking of the most important people in his heart, Scorpio is undoubtedly number one, followed by Hiruko Kohina, and Dr. Muroto Sumire is number three.
Enju Aihara's duplicity caused Broly to misunderstand her, making him feel that she didn't consider him a friend, and she is currently ranked fourth.
As for the characters like Tendo Kisara, Shiba Miori, the Holy Emperor, and Senju Natsuyo, they are currently ranked fifth because they have had too little interaction with them.
They are only slightly better than, or even worse than, the acquaintances you know in this world.
At least, Rentaro Satomi, with whom she spends more time and cooks delicious meals for herself every day, is probably more important than the other women she doesn't interact with much.
Of course, right now, Shima Miori is gaining some favor with the Saiyan boy by personally feeding him food.
. . . .
At night, a small box was left at the door of Tiantong's house.
There was a letter on the box, and inside was a small USB flash drive.
"Hiruko Kagetane, what do you mean?"
After reviewing the evidence on the USB drive, Kikunojo Tendo, unusually, lost his composure and immediately called Hiruko Kagetane to question him.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that the day before yesterday, Your Excellency Assistant Tong, your granddaughter came to me in the afternoon and offered me some good terms."
"You agreed?"
No.
Upon hearing this, Kikunojo Tendo breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "To obtain the evidence of our contact in your possession, what do you require of me in return?"
"Don't get me wrong, the reason I contacted you and let you know all this isn't to get anything out of you. I just want to know how someone like you would react if you knew you could be exposed by me at any moment and arrested as a criminal against humanity. Hahaha, that's it. I look forward to your performance. I'm hanging up..."
Kikunojo Tendo listened to the dial tone on the phone and felt really bad; he almost lost his temper.
"An incomprehensible madman!"
Kikunojo Tendo cursed under his breath, then summoned his butler, preparing to temporarily leave the Tokyo area.
After all, if you're arrested for crimes against humanity, there's really no chance of turning things around.
"Sir, where are we going?"
The housekeeper inquired.
"Let's go to Washington, D.C."
After thinking for a moment, Tendo Kikunojo said.
The Tendo family has connections there, and besides that, he himself also has some value.
Even if Hiruko Kagetane releases the evidence, he himself will not be easily extradited back to Japan.
You can also negotiate with the politicians there.
For example, agreeing to allow them to control the development of the five safety zones in Japan.
