Chapter 118 - 119: Owl Extermination Battle [Tsukiyama Household] Eto and Tsukiyama Shuu's father had already reached an agreement. As long as they gave 20% of the Tsukiyama family's assets to Aogiri Tree, then Aogiri Tree would concentrate its firepower to help the Tsukiyama family break through the heavily guarded ghoul detention center, Cochlea. During the process of formulating the plan with Eto, Tsukiyama Shuu's father had the illusion that the other party was even more anxious than he was. This organization Aogiri Tree really was quite professional. Sighing internally, he said, "Taking action the day after tomorrow? Miss Eto, isn't that a bit too hasty?" "Attacking Cochlea is a serious matter, it's better if we deliberate more carefully." Under the bandages, Eto's expression was extremely unpleasant. "Tsukiyama-kun, are you not worried about your precious son?" Tsukiyama responded honestly, "Shuu is the core of the Tsukiyama family. He has value to the CCG. If absolutely necessary, we can just leak some family intel, the CCG won't harm him." "So..." Tsukiyama looked at Eto seriously and said, "Miss Eto, we still have plenty of time. Why not make the plan more complete?" Eto clenched her teeth, wishing she could slap him in the face. He wasn't in a hurry, but she was going insane with urgency. Tatara, as Aogiri Tree's second-in-command, knew many of their core secrets. Even a slight leak could destroy all her hard work in one blow. Although she trusted Tatara's firm will, the CCG was not to be underestimated. All kinds of interrogation tools, torture methods, and drugs... Even a one percent chance of a secret leaking, she could not stand idly by. 'That damn investigator! Tatara must be rescued as soon as possible!' "No need!" Eto declared decisively. "Just follow this plan. Attack Cochlea the night after tomorrow." Tsukiyama frowned and said worriedly, "The CCG's firepower is too strong. Even if we join forces, we may not be able to break in." Eto was growing impatient, replying coldly, "I've already said before, I will find a way to draw the CCG's main firepower." Tsukiyama still wasn't reassured. "If you Aogiri Tree divide your forces, our frontal strength attacking Cochlea will be weakened." Eto said, "Aogiri Tree's main force will enter Cochlea together with your Tsukiyama family!" Sensing Tsukiyama's concern, she added, "Relax. As for how to divert the CCG's firepower, I already have a plan. In fact, we've started moving a few days ago." ——— "Please allow me to decline. I'm not interested in your operation," Jotaro immediately refused after Marude finished speaking. "What?!" From the other end of the line came Marude's angry roar. "You're just a First-Class and dare speak this way to a Special-Class?!" "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." Jotaro ignored him and his finger was already on the hang-up button. "Wait a minute!" Marude forced down the rage in his heart and tried to speak more gently, "You're still inexperienced, so you might not know the gravity of the One-Eyed Owl situation." "First-Class Kujo, considering your recent performance, Headquarters intends to keep you in the 20th Ward and have you participate in this Owl extermination battle." "This is a great opportunity to make meritorious achievements..." Before he could finish his sentence, the cold hang-up tone already came through the phone. Seeing Marude's face twist with anger, Shinohara Yukinori smiled and consoled him, "Alright, alright. It's normal for a young man who's achieved this much to be a little arrogant." Marude clenched his phone tightly and gritted his teeth, "Shinohara, you're way too lenient with these damn rookies." Marude Itsuki and Shinohara Yukinori, both were among the few Special-Class Investigators in the CCG. A few days ago, they had been transferred from other areas to the 20th Ward's Headquarters. Someone had provided intel about the Owl to the CCG, and then the two of them were put in charge of the matter. "Let's get back to the main issue," Shinohara said with a serious expression. "Two days ago, I already visited that place, that café called Anteiku." "Oh? How was it?" "The intel wasn't wrong. That shop is indeed run by ghouls. But whether the owner is the One-Eyed Owl, I'm not yet sure." Marude folded his hands and said, "Regardless, the extermination operation must be carried out. To be safe, Headquarters has also mobilized a large number of forces." He said angrily, "Can that bastard Kujo really be trusted? Headquarters wants him to lead a squad, but if he's the one leading, I already foresee the whole team getting wiped out." Shinohara gave a bitter smile, "Investigators have to go through these things. The pain of losing teammates will become fuel for his future growth." "But to minimize casualties, we should warn him ahead of time and make sure he adjusts his attitude." Then he asked, "When will the extermination operation begin?" Marude's eyes turned cold. He turned around and looked out the window, "Tomorrow night!" ——— Seeing Jotaro walking over slowly, Touka forced a smile, terrified he'd discover anything unusual. "Please visit again next time." Jotaro stopped in his tracks, looked at her, and said, "That mother and daughter pair just now, where are they?" Not caring about the stiffness in Touka's face, Jotaro said to himself, "The Fueguchi mother and daughter. If I remember correctly, they're on the CCG's wanted list." "You... you knew?" Touka's face broke into a cold sweat. 'If this guy had set his eyes on the Fueguchi mother and daughter... ' Only one word came to her mind, danger. Jotaro gave a slight nod, saying nothing, but that was already an acknowledgment. After training his Haki, his perception ability had improved. How could Touka's little tricks possibly deceive him? Touka felt like her heart sank to the bottom of the sea. She asked dryly, "You're not thinking of capturing them, are you?" Before Jotaro could answer, Touka grabbed his arm and cried out in fear, "Don't!" Her beautiful eyes opened wide in a pleading look, "Miss Ryouko and her daughter are ghouls who cannot hunt on their own. What have they done wrong?! Up until now, they've never killed a human. Please don't arrest them!" "If there's any blame, it should be on me. I've been the one supplying them food all this time!" Jotaro stared deeply at her and said like a devil's whisper, "I'm afraid it's not just you." Touka stood frozen, her whole body cold. She subconsciously took a step back. "You... What are you talking about? It's always been only me providing food to Miss Ryouko and her daughter." Jotaro withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "Anteiku... From the manager to you staff members, I'm afraid you're all ghouls. Even the majority of your customers should be ghouls." Touka's face was filled with shock, hardly able to believe it, "How do you know?" "Yare yare... Why so afraid? From the beginning, I already felt the customers here weren't normal. In any case, I have no hostility toward you all." Jotaro pushed open the door and stepped out. Just as the door was closing, he didn't even look back and gave a final warning, "But now, I'm no longer the only one who knows." "If you want to survive... then run." ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
