Chapter 157 - 158: Furuta Reveals His Cards Suzuya Juzou's body blocked Jotaro's line of sight, so much so that he didn't see the Kagune's raised-hand movement at all. A Kagune pierced through Suzuya's abdomen, then stabbed toward Jotaro at extremely fast speed. A human's reaction speed simply couldn't evade such an attack. Even a supreme expert couldn't guard against such a sneak attack. "Careful!" Eto panicked, and could only use words to warn. The sharp tip of the Kagune was extremely close to Jotaro's face; even an SSS-class ghoul was powerless under such circumstances. She could only widen her eyes, waiting for the scene that was about to unfold. Did Jotaro need to dodge? At Star Platinum's speed, such an attack didn't even need a time-stop, it could be blocked easily. At extremely close distance. The reflection of the sharp Kagune completely filled Jotaro's pupils. The fierce attack calmed down in an instant. Just like turbulent waves surging on the sea, in a flash they rippled, then everything was calm again. Star Platinum caught the stabbing Kagune at the limit distance. No matter how much force came from above, it could no longer move even a fraction. "Phew..." the ghouls all let out a sigh of relief. Eto proudly said, "As expected of the man I've taken a liking to." However, in the next second, a trace of heaviness appeared on her face, looking at the back of Suzuya in disbelief. Star Platinum exerted a little force, and cracks spread across the hard Kagune, and then it gradually shattered. Even Jotaro's calm face showed a slight ripple. This was indeed Shikorae's Kagune, he would never mistake it, but the one who released this Kagune wasn't Shikorae, but Furuta! At this moment, Furuta's face was full of a hideous grin. "What a pity, I didn't pierce your brain in one go!" "I originally wanted to lure you into the venue, then properly entertain you, who would've thought that you just wouldn't follow the script." "Coming up and punching someone right away, isn't that a bit too rude, Kujo-san?" "Plan A failed, so I can only activate Plan B." "So that's how it is. The one who brought Shikorae was you," Jotaro was also not surprised. In that case, Furuta was the one who broke into his home without his permission and brought Shikorae. One more crime, that's all. "How could it be!" Furuta revealed his identity as a ghoul, it could be said he showed his cards completely. Those CCG investigators who were kept in the dark all exclaimed. "Our Bureau Chief is a ghoul? What is going on? Could this be an illusion?!" In order to control the CCG and deal with Jotaro, Furuta only employed humans who hated ghouls deeply. After he took power, the ideology he spread was, ghouls are guilty. It was precisely using this point that he tightly twisted his subordinates together. But now look, these investigators had always believed the Bureau Chief who could lead humanity toward the future, turned out to be a ghoul. The Bureau Chief who made them kill all ghouls, his true identity turned out to be a ghoul. Then what difference was there between all their actions and the Clowns? Even though the truth was right in front of their eyes, they were still unwilling to believe. "This must be Kujo's conspiracy!" "He hid the real Bureau Chief away!" They kept convincing themselves. 'It must be this way! It must be this way!' "Kujo! Hand over our Bureau Chief now!" Irimi looked at them disdainfully and scolded, "A bunch of idiots. Can't you understand yet? You've been played by him all along." "Is it that you don't want all your past actions to become meaningless? The truth is in front of you, but you refuse to accept it. Pathetic." Hearing their sore spot hit, the investigators' faces turned from green to red. Just as Irimi said, they understood everything, just didn't want to believe it. The rapid development of the 24th Ward was obvious to all, some people even promoted it after visiting. To prevent Jotaro's influence from spreading further, Furuta ordered his men to control public opinion, arresting those people for ideological re-education. As long as they recognized their mistakes and slandered the 24th Ward, they could be released. But there were always those unafraid of power, daring to speak the truth, and persist to the end, these people were secretly erased. All along, they had believed what they were doing was just, was fighting for humanity's future. But now... At the moment they learned their leader was a ghoul, they suddenly turned around, and realized their hands were already stained with the blood of sin. "Weird... As far as I know, Furuta came from a branch of the Washuu family, he's a half-human." Eto looked at Furuta's current form, that ghoulified eye was extremely striking. "He actually turned from a half-human into a ghoul!" The aura emitted from Furuta now was completely different from before. For some reason, Eto felt a trace of dread. "Have to thank you! Eto." Furuta smirked wickedly. "Thanks to you, this technology could be used on me." "I transplanted Shikorae's kakuhou into my own body, that's why I have such beautiful Kagune." Eto suddenly realized, her expression turning extremely dark. "I always wondered where that doctor Kanou had gone, so you captured him." "No, no." Furuta lightly waved his index finger, denying her words. "Kanou followed me willingly. Only I can realize his ambitions." As he spoke, a shameless smile appeared on his face. "In short, I was cooperating with Kanou from the very beginning. Sending him to Aogiri Tree was also my idea." "Using your funds for research couldn't be more suitable." "This is like using a simp's money to raise a boyfriend. And you, Eto, you are that simp." "Running around everywhere, frantically writing too, and all the money you earned ended up benefitting me." Irimi could clearly feel the breathing of Eto beside her becoming rapid, her face dark like the bottom of a pot. "Calm down, he's trying to provoke you on purpose." But in her current state, there was no way Eto could hear Irumi's kind advice. All her past efforts had become someone else's wedding dress, even a saint would be furious. "I'm gonna kill you!" The petite body lunged forward, the armor of the kakuja had already covered her body, she instantly became massive. "Crush you, you bastard!" Eto cursed with trash talk in her mouth, her giant palm slapped toward Furuta's direction. Jotaro didn't stop her, but instead held up Suzuya's body. The Kagune that pierced into him was crushed by Star Platinum's exquisite power. The wound hadn't worsened. As long as it didn't hit vital points, a little ripple healing could stop the bleeding. "Why..." Suzuya blankly stared at him, not understanding why he would save him. 'Is this man really the murderous devil Furuta described?' Because of his own special experiences, he could sense others' kindness more than most. 'Someone like this could never be a villain.' Even if Jotaro appeared cold and ruthless, he seemed to feel the heat of his heart. Jotaro ignored Suzuya's strange gaze. After confirming he wasn't in life danger, he casually tossed him aside. ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
