Chapter 408 This world is too dangerous
After dealing with Takuto Howaki, Broly came up behind Kisara Tendo, slipped his forearm under the armpit of the sword demon girl, and with a gasp from Kisara Tendo, lifted her off the ground and flew out of the open window.
The wind was a bit strong, blowing directly in Broly's face, and Kisara Tendo's smooth black hair smeared all over Broly's face.
Broly shook his head, but couldn't shake off the long hair on his face. After thinking for a moment, he turned around, facing away from the wind, and the hair finally moved forward and left his face.
"Where does Tendo live?"
The Saiyan boy whispered in the ear of the girl with long, straight black hair.
"Over there."
Tendou Kisara felt a tickle in his ear and quickly pointed in a direction.
Broly flew in the direction she was pointing.
The speed is not fast, so there is no need to set up an energy shield.
"Being able to fly is really great."
Meanwhile, Kone, whose body was being supported in the air by the Saiyan boy behind him, couldn't help but sigh as he experienced the feeling of flying in the sky for the first time.
"You want to learn this? I can teach you."
Upon hearing this, Broly spoke to the girl in his hand.
"Huh, is this something I can learn?"
Upon hearing this, Tendoki was even more surprised, but still asked the question.
"You can learn it, but whether it will actually make you fly is uncertain, because flying requires a sufficient amount of air..."
Broly and Tendogi gave a simpler overview of the air manipulation techniques for flying with air, but they couldn't guarantee that the other person would be able to fly after learning to use air.
In the Dragon Ball world, flight is a basic ability possessed by many minor characters, but individuals whose race does not have wings or other flight abilities need to be at least at the level of Tien Shinhan in the early stages of the Dragon Ball world to achieve flight using ki.
The Black Bullet World also has martial arts, and the level of martial arts here is not low. There are sword qi cutting the floor and punching a big tree to smash. It can be considered a low-level martial arts world.
Tendoki was no stranger to the concept of "ki" that Broly had described, but to think that he could fly just by listening to it was wishful thinking.
This sword-wielding girl's strength is at most at the level of some martial artists participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament in the early stages of the Dragon Ball world.
To learn to fly using air, it would probably take a long time to practice.
At this point, Broly was already leading her down.
From the council building of the Holy City to the residence of the Tendo family, the principle of air flight was explained along the way, but it only took a little over a minute.
After landing and regaining her footing, Tendo Kisara gripped the long sword at her waist. The cold white blade was drawn from its sheath, and the girl with long, straight black hair drew several cold, sharp lines of light through the air as she held the hilt. A few steps away, the large wooden door of the Tendo family was suddenly split open.
"After listening to your explanation of Qi theory, my swordsmanship seems to have improved again. Thank you."
Tendou Kisara sincerely thanked the boy.
"Who's causing trouble in front of Tendo's house?"
Just then, the noise from the smashing of the large wooden door attracted the people inside the Tiantong Mansion, who came out to check the situation.
"Eh, Ms. Kisara?!"
The butler, with a dark expression, came out. Upon seeing Tendo Kisara outside, a look of surprise appeared on his dark face.
"Butler Imamura, please inform the former aide-de-camp, Tendo, that his misdeeds have come to light!"
Upon hearing this, Butler Imamura's heart sank, thinking that the contents of the USB drive he had left at the door that evening had been exposed.
"Tendo Kisara, if you're going home, just go home. Why are you slashing at the door with a knife?"
But before the butler could speak, another bespectacled man came out of Tiantong's house.
"Tendo Kazuhiro, stop lecturing me with that reprimanding tone!"
"Ha, so this is how you talk to your own brother?"
"First, the Tendo family, who remained silent about the cause of my parents' deaths, was no longer my home."
Secondly, you, who disregarded your parents' deaths and lived in the Tiantong family as if nothing had happened, are no longer my brother.
Third, the Tendo family bribed the military to commit acts that endangered the Tokyo Safety Zone. This attempt has failed and been exposed. I am here to arrest you; this is an arrest warrant.
As he spoke, Tendo Kisara took out an arrest warrant bearing the personal seal of the Holy Emperor from his pocket and showed it to Tendo Kazuhiro.
"Ha, abusing your power for personal gain, is that it? You really think that just because Grandpa isn't an aide anymore and you've become a favorite of the Holy Emperor, you can do whatever you want with the Tiantong family?"
Tendo Kazuhiro was initially confused, but then, after realizing something, he began to mock Tendo Kisara.
"Let me tell you, it's impossible. Even the Holy Emperor behind you cannot do whatever he wants to the Tiantong family."
Trying to label people and make wild accusations is a joke. The Tendo family has only lost the position of assistant, but other members of the family still hold important positions in some important departments.
"So, you're planning to resist arrest?"
"What, you're planning to use force?"
Tendo Kazumitsu looked disdainful.
"You think you're some family traitor with damaged kidneys?"
The man asked sarcastically.
Are you injured?
Broly looked at Tendo Kisara, frowned, and asked.
"It's just an old injury. If I wanted to treat it, I could just get a mechanical kidney. But before I avenge my parents, I want to use this pain to remember this hatred. I'm fine."
Tendou Kisara explained one sentence.
"You're still clinging to the past. I've told you before, your parents' death was just an accident. When are you going to grow up?"
"If it was an accident, why is the family trying to cover it up? Why not thoroughly investigate how the Gastrea that broke in back then managed to bypass the security zone and enter the city and the Tendo family's residence?"
"This is not something a child like you should be concerned with."
"Then I'd like to ask you, why don't you care at all, adults?"
Tendo Kisara's long sword was aimed at Tendo Kazuhiro.
"Bring me my gun."
The female secretary, having been instructed to do so, quickly brought over a long spear and handed it to Tendo and Hikaru.
At the Tendo family home, two siblings of vastly different ages confronted each other inside and outside the broken gate.
Upon learning that it had nothing to do with the USB drive, Butler Imamura breathed a sigh of relief, but now his heart was in his throat again.
"Young Master Kazumitsu, Miss Kisara, please stop."
He offered his advice.
"Butler Imamura, please stop talking. It's not that I want to make things difficult for her, but that she's making things difficult for us. If we don't teach her a lesson today, who knows what kind of troublesome things this ungrateful traitor will do next?"
"Don't worry, she's still my sister, I won't kill her. At most, I'll cripple the hand that holds the knife!"
"What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too."
Before finding conclusive evidence directly linking his parents' deaths to the Tendo family, Tendo Kisara did not harbor any murderous intent towards the Tendo family members, such as his own older brother.
Just as the two were about to start fighting, Broly walked right up to Tendo and Hikaru, and grabbed the man's wrist.
"What?"
Before Tendo Kazuhiro could react, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his wrist.
"what!"
He cried out in pain as the spear fell to the ground, his hand bones broken by the Saiyan boy.
How did he get here?
Why could a boy so easily break the bones in my hand?
Did Tendo Kisara do something?
Tendo and Hikaru, who knew nothing about Broly's identity or the boy's strength, were filled with questions.
"This must be the mastermind behind it all. We can take him back now."
Broly dragged Tendo and Hikaru to the girl with long, straight black hair and said.
"Uh, the person in charge of the Tendo family is not him, but Tendo Kikunojo."
Tendo Kisara explained.
"So, I've arrested the wrong person?"
Broly asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I don't know if he was involved."
Tendo Kisara shook his head.
"Hey, did you order someone to fire at Scorpio?"
Broly thought for a moment, then asked the man next to him directly.
"what?"
Tendo Kazuhiro was completely bewildered, because he had no idea about firing the cannon.
"Pretend you don't know?"
Broly frowned, reached out and grabbed the man's other wrist, and there was another snap...
"Ouch, no, that hurts! No, I never let anyone fire at Scorpio!"
The pain from his broken wrist made Tendo Kazuhiro immediately realize what had happened, and he quickly denied it.
"Are you lying to me?"
Broly frowned, ready to teach this man a lesson, but was stopped by Tendo Kisara.
"Where is Kikunojo Tendo?"
The girl with long, straight black hair asked directly.
"Grandpa went abroad to visit friends."
Tendo and Hikaru had lost the imposing manner they had when scolding their younger sister, and quickly rattled off everything they knew.
He was afraid that if he spoke too late, the boy who broke his wrist would continue to hurt himself.
"Visiting friends abroad at this time, isn't it possible he's fleeing to escape punishment?"
Tendo Kisara frowned his handsome brows.
"Where did you run off to?"
Broly released Tendo and Hikaru's wrists, but grabbed the man by the neck and floated up, lifting him up and asking questions.
"I...I don't know."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tendo Kazuhiro felt the hand gripping his neck tighten.
"But he knows."
"Who knows?"
"Butler Imamura"
Because his hands were crushed, Tendo Kazuhiro could only point at people by lifting his feet.
Butler Imamura: "..."
This grandson really sells out his own father very quickly.
"Lord Kikunojo just flew to America tonight, saying he was going to visit some friends there."
When the two looked over, Butler Imamura quickly explained.
"I should be able to contact Kikunojo-sama, and there must be some misunderstanding about firing at Scorpio."
Kikunojo Tendo was on a private plane bound for the United States when a sudden video call from his butler brought him devastating news.
Someone broke into the Heavenly Ladder and used it to fire at Scorpio.
The person who fired the cannon was caught red-handed by the Saiyan boy.
The other party reported that it was the Tiantong family who were behind it.
Upon hearing this news, Kikunojo Tendo, seated in his airline seat, turned pale.
He did want to eliminate Scorpio, but why did he attack Scorpio before dealing with the Saiyan boy?
He's not some old man who'd eat poison; he's courting death.
"If it wasn't you, then why did you run away?"
Broly immediately recalled the classic line and launched into a direct questioning.
"I didn't run away; I just went abroad to visit a friend."
The latest novel is first published here!
Tendou Kikunojo immediately replied.
"Visiting friends abroad so late at night?"
Tendo Kisara issued a question.
"It's still daytime in Washington."
"Well……"
"I can prove that."
Broly raised his hand and said.
"what?"
Tendou Mugen looked over with some surprise.
"I have a friend I met online who said she was in Washington, D.C."
Broly offered an explanation.
How can you prove you have nothing to do with this?
"Proving oneself is the most foolish thing. It is difficult for me to prove that I did not do something. However, everything that has been done will leave a trace."
Since the person who fired the cannon claimed that we, the Tendo family, paid him to fire at Scorpio, then you can investigate the amount of money the Tendo family paid him.”
Kikunojo Tendo was absolutely certain that his family had never spent such a sum of money.
Even some members' private savings would not be willingly spent on dealing with Scorpios.
After all, something like that happened ten years ago...
"What the Holy Emperor wants is a fair and just punishment."
Tendo Kisara said.
"Okay, then let's go back and find out."
Broly did not act impulsively, but he did make his stance clear.
"If it turns out that the Tendo family is the mastermind behind this, then no matter where you, the head of the Tendo family, run off to, I will find you and kill you."
"I am upright and honest; I will not run away or hide."
"That would be best."
Tendo Kiku no Cheng: "..."
He sensed a faint chill from the boy's words in the video.
If this monster boy did it himself and then hid so the other party couldn't find him, what would he do?
After shutting down the communication, Kikunojo Tendo remained silent in his seat for a while before calling over a flight attendant from the private jet.
"I'm not going to Washington anymore. I'm heading back to Tokyo."
The private jet turned around and flew back in the direction it had come from.
. . . .
More than half an hour later, he returned to Tokyo and went to the Shōju to meet the Holy Emperor and inquire about the investigation. There he met Takuto Howaki, who said that the Tendo family was the mastermind behind it all.
"Third Lieutenant Howaki, I have never treated you badly. Why do you slander the Tendou family, claiming they were the masterminds who ordered you to use the Heavenly Ladder to fire at Scorpio?"
"You've treated me well? Hah, I asked for 500 million, you said 50 million, and I agreed. And what happened? Your Tiantong family only gave me 5 million. When I called to ask if there was a mistake, I got mocked by your people. You son of a bitch..."
What follows is a bunch of elegant Tokyo slang.
"What happened?"
Kikunojo Tendo looked at Kazuhiro Tendo, whose hands were bandaged, with a dark expression.
"I……"
Tendo and Hikaru were somewhat unsure how to explain themselves. Was it slander to accuse the other party?
That's impossible. At this point, it's likely that even Takumi Ho's secrets will be exposed.
It's impossible to hide the fact that I'm taking kickbacks.
So, this person chose to tell the truth.
"you……"
The idea was proven true, but the shrewd and calculating politician, Kikunojo Tendo, almost fainted.
Each move could have been made from the shadows, allowing the player to observe the unfolding situation.
As a result, because of his foolish grandson's stupid act of taking kickbacks, the equally foolish Howaki Takuto did something terribly stupid: he raised the banner of the Tendou family, lured a group of stupid soldiers to attack the Heavenly Ladder, and used the Heavenly Ladder to fire at Scorpio. This forced him to come out into the open and clean up the mess.
"I am very sorry, Your Majesty, this matter all stems from the Tiantong family..."
Tendo Kikunojo made no mention of why he was preparing to give Howaki Takuto a large sum of money, but instead directly apologized to the Holy Emperor. However, the apology was not the point; the point was that he began to list the Tendo family's connections in the army.
The art of politics lies in compromise, and this is the price to pay for calming down an incident after doing something foolish that shouldn't have been done in politics.
If resigning from his position as an aide was just a minor setback, then this list of contacts that he proactively reported to the Holy Emperor is a major financial loss.
Even if this isn't their entire network, as long as the Holy Emperor follows the list and replaces each person on it with his own, the Tian Tong family's influence over the army will definitely decrease significantly.
But this is something we have to pay. Otherwise, if the name of the Tiantong family alone can fool a group of soldiers into attacking the Heavenly Ladder, then if he himself appears, can he raise his arms and call for the replacement of the Holy Emperor?
Some things are not about whether you can do them, but whether you have the ability to do them. The Holy Emperor is considered one of his students. Although he is somewhat naive, he has the qualities of a wise ruler.
"Lord Kikunojo, why must you be like this?"
See, as soon as the list was handed in, the young Holy Emperor's attitude immediately softened.
However, winning over the Holy Emperor wasn't enough, because...
Beside him, there was an even more deadly Saiyan boy from another world.
Kikunojo Tendo paused only briefly before walking straight up to Broly.
With a thud, the old man knelt down on both knees, his head hitting the ground.
"Lord Broly, this matter is indeed the fault of my Tendo family. I am ashamed that I almost hurt your wife. If you need a target to vent your anger on, then I am willing to pay with my life."
It is difficult to judge a terrifying being who possesses immense power using common sense.
However, based on the information he had previously gathered about the Saiyan boy, Kikunojo Tendo was willing to gamble that the boy was reasonable.
At this moment, he retreated in order to advance, taking the initiative to admit his mistake. He offered his life as an excuse to kill or torture the other party, saying that if the other party really wanted to kill him, he would kill him, which would minimize the loss.
Kazuhiro Tendo's grandson is a complete idiot, but as the head of the Tendo family, he has no choice but to consider the future of the Tendo family.
"I have a question."
After learning the reason for the attack, Broly was filled with doubt rather than rage.
"This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Scorpios, so why are they attacking Scorpios?"
After Kikunojo Tendo knelt before him, the Saiyan boy asked the question that had been bothering him.
"He probably wants to provoke Scorpio, to provoke you, so that Scorpio or you will attack the Tokyo Safety Zone, and then frame the Tendo family for it, making the Tendo family pay the price."
"But Scorpio was just sleeping in the old port area, and I was just with her. Why should I be used as a tool to take revenge on your Tendo family?"
In this world, many things don't have a reason; they're mostly just a matter of need or not.
As a gastrulator, Scorpio is naturally hated by humans.
This person simply needed to exploit this hatred, falsely claim the name of the Tiantong family, to recruit a group of soldiers from the army who were willing to follow him in attacking the Heavenly Ladder.
As for attacking Scorpio, it wasn't really necessary, but Scorpio was the closest and most suitable, nothing more.
After a moment of silence, Kikunojo Tendo answered Broly's question seriously.
"So if I kill you, will that make him happy?"
"Yes."
"Okay, you won't die."
Broly nodded, and the next moment he was beside Takuto Howaki.
With a slap, the chattering youth had his head smashed open.
Everyone present was startled, but no one said anything.
Broly left.
Tendou Kikunojo let out a long breath.
This hurdle should be considered cleared.
. . . .
That evening, a post titled "This world is too dangerous" was uploaded to the internet.
The post clearly stated:
This world is too dangerous. My wife, a Scorpio, is pitiful and helpless. She was just sleeping when she was taken advantage of by bad guys. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, she probably would have been attacked...
This world is too dangerous. I thought my wife was very strong and wouldn't be in any danger, but I was wrong. There are weapons like the Heavenly Ladder that are specifically designed to target my wife. This is just too dangerous...
This world is too dangerous. I only have a limited time left to protect my wife. If she can't escape her perilous situation before I leave this dangerous world, then I have to do something for her...
Where in this world can you find a weapon like the Heavenly Ladder?
What other things in this world pose a threat to Gastrea at the zodiacal level?
"Wait, kid, are you doing something abstract?"
Broly's post, "The world is too dangerous," quickly garnered replies, with most people believing he was being abstract.
After all, who would consider a mountain of Gastrea as their wife?
And who would think they could withstand an attack from a projectile fired by a railgun?
Who else would ask netizens online which species pose a threat to Gastrea, a species capable of causing natural disasters, and then act as if they're ready to write them down and destroy them?
Clearly, no one took Broly's online comments seriously.
However, quite a few people told Broly that there are countries that have weapons like the Sky Ladder.
Some even mentioned the Tsar Bomba nuclear bomb, which is also a weapon that could pose a threat to the zodiac.
Broly noted them down one by one. In addition to the fact that the country possessed the high-powered weapons, his online friend Miss Nightingale also told him that among the police officers listed in the International Initiator Monitoring Agency's records, there was a group that had a record of eliminating Zodiac Gastrea.
"I don't know exactly how they won, but the Taurus and Virgo pair were indeed defeated by the police duo who ranked first and second in IP."
"I've memorized the IIOS police officer list, Nightingale. Thank you for reminding me."
Tina Sprantt was unaware that because of her casual reminder, the IP ranking of the International Initiator Oversight Agency had become a death list in the hands of the otherworldly Saiyan boy, which he could use to eliminate potential dangers at any time.
Because of that cannon shot on the Sky Ladder, Broly began to feel anxious about Scorpio's safety. To relieve this anxiety, he had to deal with the possibility that Scorpio might encounter danger in this world, and there was no better way.
Therefore, before leaving, the Saiyan boy's only option is to eliminate any people or things in this world that might pose a threat to Scorpio.
There is no doubt that the world is in danger...
