Chapter 148 - 149: Rapidly Developing 24th Ward "Having money really lets you do whatever you want!" Eto stood on top of the tallest SPW Building in the 24th Ward, looking at the surrounding construction crews working busily, and exclaimed in awe. The 24th Ward, which once looked like a pile of ruins, was now flourishing. Streets, houses, and all kinds of infrastructure were slowly being built. She had personally witnessed the birth of an underground city. "The school, hospital, and park will probably be completed in about three months. I wonder if Mr. Kujo is satisfied with our construction schedule?" The boss of the construction company rubbed his hands together, bowing and scraping in front of Jotaro. You have to know, as the president of the largest construction group in Japan, his social status was extremely high. Even government officials would treat him politely. Because of this, he naturally carried an air of arrogance between his brows. But when facing this young man, that arrogance was completely gone. Because not long ago, this young man had already bought out his boss. "Too long." Jotaro didn't even look at him and said coldly, "I'll give you all one month." "One month?" The construction boss was shocked. So many buildings, and they had to be high quality and completed on time, only one month? "Of course, it's possible!" He forced a smile on his face and replied with certainty. It was extremely demanding, but if he didn't do it, there were plenty of others who would. After all, Jotaro was paying far too much. He firmly believed that if he missed this opportunity, his construction company would quietly fade away in the tide of the times. As long as you could get support from the SPW Foundation, even a small company could replace his in no time. He gritted his teeth, at worst, he'd make less profit, send more workers, work 24/7, and definitely complete the mission Jotaro assigned. ——— "Boss, we've already bought out all the mainstream media in society." Yoshimoto, already a mature woman, now wore a business suit, black stockings, and black-rimmed glasses, giving her even more allure. Honestly, her tall figure made Eto a bit jealous. Unlike herself, a shorty of only 1.5 meters, who besides being cute, was good for nothing else. Jotaro nodded slightly. Controlling these mainstream media outlets meant he could let those deceived citizens see something different. The system the Washuu Clan had carefully built over the years would slowly collapse with the people's awakening. But what puzzled him was, while his forces were expanding in secret, the Washuu Clan made no moves at all. Even if his methods were clever, there was no way they wouldn't notice anything. —— "Yare yare daze..." Although he didn't know the exact situation, fortunately, his plan was progressing smoothly. At this speed, a world where ghouls and humans could coexist would soon be created. Jotaro overlooked the forming city. The 24th Ward would undoubtedly become the first experimental zone for coexistence between ghouls and humans. ——— "My dear Kujo-kun!" Tsukiyama Shuu said emotionally, "The food supply in the 24th Ward is almost gone. We need to send teams to search for human corpses." "Right now we're short on manpower. Those guys, although crude and vulgar, are still useful. Shouldn't we release them?" After Jotaro took over the 24th Ward, he set a rule, Ghouls cannot eat living humans. As for this rule, the ghouls in the peaceful district didn't mind. When Yoshimura Ayato provided for them, he used flesh from dead bodies, so they had always survived like this, and naturally had no objections. They were experienced in this area and even formed teams specifically to help other ghouls find food. However, there were always some troublemakers in the organization. Those ghouls who were used to eating live humans were unwilling to accept this rule. Some stubborn radicals absolutely refused to coexist with humans. They refused to recognize a leader like Jotaro. So, under the lead of Jason, some Aogiri Tree ghouls began to riot, and even devised a detailed plan to assassinate Jotaro. Unfortunately, before they could carry out the plan, someone leaked it. It's said that a female ghoul changed her mind at the last minute and told Eto about the plan. When Yoshimura Eto found out, she flew into a rage. After Jotaro started leading them, their former companions were no longer needed. These violent ghouls were completely unnecessary for the beautiful future they envisioned. "We were wrong! Spare our lives!" Facing Eto's gigantic Kakuja form, the weak ghouls all fell to their knees and begged for mercy. The ringleader who started the riot, Jason, had already been beaten unconscious. 'Kill them all!' That was Eto's first thought. Going against Jotaro was the same as going against her! How could she possibly let this group of rebellious ghouls go? Although these people were once her subordinates and had made great contributions, they had already challenged Jotaro's authority, so there was no reason to keep them. However, after spending time with Jotaro and being subtly influenced by him, she had grown a bit, and in the end, didn't choose to kill them. These ghouls couldn't integrate into the future society, but that didn't mean they were completely useless. ——— [Inside the Prison] "Everyone watch closely!" Nezuko stood in front of the rebellious ghouls, holding a piece of children's clothing, smiling sweetly as she said, "This is how you make this outfit..." "So cute... I want to eat her!" The ghouls below were totally entranced. But Nezuko's next words sent them straight to rock bottom. "Everyone must make 200 pieces today!" "What! You stinking b*tch! Why do we have to make clothes!" Hearing this, all the ghouls below shouted. Nezuko pouted and said, "I don't have a choice either. That's the rule here." "I already demonstrated it, so you all better hurry up. If you don't finish the task, you'll be punished." As soon as she finished speaking, several ghouls in uniforms holding whips entered the prison. "Go to work!" Snap! Snap! Snap! The sound of whips echoed through the entire prison. These were special long whips made from kagune, and even with light force, they caused excruciating pain. In no time, the cries for mercy filled the air. "Stop hitting! I'll work! I'll work!" They quickly took their seats and sped up the sewing machines. Even after making the clothes, they wouldn't get a single reward. The money earned would all be used for building the 24th Ward. They would spend the rest of their lives endlessly sewing, to atone for the sins of their past! "Two hundred pieces is this month's standard. Once you're skilled, next month it'll be 400! If you don't finish, you're not allowed to sleep!" Another strike! "You're too slow! Sew faster! Waste two seconds, one piece deducted!" Tears streamed from Jason's eyes. He used to think having his nails pulled out over and over was the most painful torture in this world. He never imagined that something worse existed, that he would spend his entire life endlessly working for others. ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
