Chapter 94 The Storm Is Brewing
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
Just as Mikako was slowly developing her plan,
Lady Rose suddenly disappeared.
As if sensing something, she hid.
When she reappeared, it was to meet a man named Lin Bei.
Just as she received the news and was preparing to arrest Lady Rose, she disappeared again.
So she instructed the upper echelons of Rose House, whom she controlled, to try to capture Lin Bei in order to find Lady Rose's whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, all ten hunters sent out were killed.
Later, she learned from the higher-ups at Rose House that Lin Beiji might be related to Urokodaki Sakonji.
This made her both happy and afraid.
The good news is that if Lin Bei really is related to Urokodaki Sakonji...
After capturing Lin Bei, she can not only find Lady Rose's whereabouts through Lin Bei, but also have another trump card to deal with Urokodaki Sakonji.
What she feared was that Lin Bei's appearance might mean that Urokodaki Sakonji had already discovered her plan, and therefore sent Lin Bei out to investigate.
However, her fear quickly disappeared.
She received news from her older sister, Zhu Shawan, yesterday.
That was her and another companion, ordered by that person to come to Saitama to capture someone.
Although she didn't dare ask why.
But she believed that with her sister Suzamaru's strength, as long as she came to Saitama...
Even if Urokodaki Sakonji were to recover to his full strength, she would not be afraid of the three sisters working together, and she would have the strength to kill Urokodaki Sakonji head-on.
Therefore, she decided to stop lying low and wait, and summoned the upper echelons of the Rose House, whom she had corrupted and controlled.
All this was to prepare a big gift for her older sister, Zhu Shawan.
The flesh and blood of all the hunters in the Rose House.
With this wonderful gift...
Her and her sister's abilities will reach a new level.
It will be no surprise that Urokodaki Sakonji will be killed.
However, all of this is predicated on first attracting Urokodaki Sakonji.
Therefore, she cannot kill these ten people for the time being; she must keep them alive so that they can capture Madam Rose and Lin Bei.
After all, as a demon, she is powerful in the dark, but cannot move around outside during the day.
She needs these humans to help her with things.
Once the task is completed, these humans will only have one remaining value: to become food for their sisters.
However, she still needs to appease them first.
And so, she sensed the panic and fear of the remaining nine people.
Mikako smiled.
"Don't be afraid, everyone."
"I killed him because he questioned our cause."
"You all know what efforts and sacrifices you've made to get to this point."
"Therefore, I will not allow anyone to question or deny my decision."
"Because this would shake the morale of our troops and cause those with unstable beliefs to waver."
As she spoke, Mikako's eyes swept around, passing over everyone's eyes.
Immediately, panic and evasion appeared in everyone's eyes.
Upon discovering this, Mikako sneered inwardly.
"How pathetic are humans."
"One can give up being human for the sake of life, money, and fame."
"But when it really came to the end, they started to waver again."
"Insects like these are only fit to be called food, not worthy of being called demons, to share in that lord's power and glory."
However, she still made sure to put on a good show and did not reveal the slightest bit of disdain.
A fake smile appeared on her face.
"very good!"
"I see everyone's determination."
"I also hope that no one will question me anymore."
"Because the final moment is approaching!"
Upon hearing Mikako's last sentence, all nine people present were stunned.
The panic, fear, and hesitation in his eyes immediately turned into fanaticism.
No one went to see the dead anymore.
No one considered whether they were trying to get something from a tiger or sacrificing themselves to feed it.
They felt an immense power and the miracle of immortality beckoning to them.
The old woman, who had just started arguing with the bearded ronin, stood up abruptly and asked in a trembling voice.
"Lady Mikako, is this true?"
"Didn't you say before that we needed to be tested, that we needed to continue to dedicate ourselves, in order to gain that person's favor?"
"Can we really get what you're talking about now?"
Mikako was quite pleased with the reactions of the crowd.
These foolish humans can be easily controlled by her with just a little bit of false promises.
She sat up from the ground, her voice clear and cold.
"That's right!"
"Your performance has been recognized by that lord."
"So that lord sent a messenger."
"Three days!"
"The messenger will arrive here in three days."
"Give you the power and longevity you desire."
"I will give you money and power."
"I bestow upon you the glory that belongs to that great one."
At this point, Mikako's eyes darkened, and her voice became serious.
"However, you still have one last test."
"That is to prepare a sacrifice for the arrival of the messenger, and for yourselves."
"The offerings need to be a large quantity of fresh and robust flesh and blood."
"The more flesh and blood you have, the greater the power you can obtain."
"so!"
"Does anyone among you still have any doubts about my initial proposal?"
Upon hearing Mikako's question, almost everyone shook their heads.
"No!"
"I agree!"
"Mikako-sama is wise!"
"I am willing to go through fire and water for Lady Mikako."
"..."
For a moment, the secret room was filled with everyone's praise and flattery of Mikako.
However, at that moment, Mikako keenly realized that of the remaining nine people, only eight had explicitly expressed their agreement.
Another one had his head down and brows furrowed, as if he was struggling with something in his mind.
Mikako frowned.
She never imagined that even after she had gone to such lengths, someone would still want to defy her decision.
In an instant, her killing intent surged, and the temperature in the entire secret room seemed to drop to below zero.
It seems that killing one chicken to scare the monkey is not enough.
She needs more killing to increase her deterrent effect.
The crowd, who had been cheering and flattering just moments before, were startled upon sensing this chilling killing intent, and all sound and movement abruptly ceased.
Following Mikako's gaze, they saw the person who was deep in thought, head bowed and brows furrowed.
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to one side.
Some were puzzled, some were worried, and some were gloating.
However, just as Mikako's hair grew long again, preparing to kill again to establish her authority.
The man stood up and questioned Mikako.
"Mikako-sama!"
"I think there were some minor issues with your previous suggestion."
Suddenly, everyone looked at him as if he were a dead man.
Mikako's tone was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice.
"Oh, what's the problem!"
As she spoke, her hair began to dance, ready to turn the person into a pile of rubble at any moment.
Then I heard the person's serious tone.
"Lady Mikako, since it is for the messenger to prepare the offerings."
"And the quantity and quality of the offerings determine how much glory the messenger bestows upon us."
"Aren't the forty or fifty hunters at Rose House a bit insufficient?"
"Why don't we prepare more offerings?"
"How about a thousand people, for example!"
