Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

Seeing this scene enraged Ayato Kamisato even more. He even forcibly suppressed the burning pain in his internal organs and staggered to his feet, but collapsed onto the table as soon as he stood up.

'Crack!'

The fish soup in the casserole dish spilled onto the ground.

The clay pot shattered on the ground.

Logically, with such a commotion, both the ninjas from the final battle and the guards outside should have come in to check, but there was no reaction outside, and not even anyone came to knock on the door to ask what was going on.

"By the way, let me tell you about my plans after you die."

Enjoying the utter despair on Ayato Kamisato's face.

Lin Jiu'an took out his left hand and used Shen Li Linghua's soft and smooth face to wipe his slightly damp fingers.

"Death is a grand event."

Then he smiled at Ayato Kamisato, whose eyes were bloodshot and who was staring at him like a wild beast.

"With the death of the head of the Kamisato family, such a momentous event should naturally be attended by all the heads of the Inatsuma family. They should properly discuss the future power structure of the Inatsuma family at your funeral."

"You're still my brother-in-law, after all."

"Oh, right, and Hua Dai. Putting everything else aside, your mother's taste is really good, even better than Ling Hua's. Tsk, it's just that your father seems to be lacking in ability. He's too narrow-minded; he hasn't even explored 30% of it?"

"But it's a bargain for me too."

"Brother-in-law, when you go downstairs, have a good talk with your dad and thank him for me. Also, tell him that I will take good care of Hua Dai for him."

"Also, you are my dear brother-in-law and good son, so of course I won't let you die alone."

"I will give you a grand funeral when the time comes, and I will have them all come to join you."

Ayato Kamisato's vision was blurred by blood, and blood was flowing from his seven orifices. In order to suppress the pain in his body and prevent himself from crying out in humiliation, he even bit off pieces of his own flesh.

I can't see Ayaka clearly.

He couldn't see the man he loathed clearly; he could only vaguely make out a blurry figure in the bloody light.

Gradually, as Ayato Kamisato groaned in pain, he could only vaguely hear the sound of clothes being torn, Ayaka's muffled groans with a hint of crying, and a figure bobbing up and down in the blurry chair with its back to him.

He couldn't see clearly, but Ayato Kamisato realized what had happened, and the frustration and anger in his heart surged to his throat again.

He then spat out a mouthful of blood, his head lolled to the side, and he died of anger.

Ayaka Kamisato, who was facing away from the desk, couldn't see anything, but she heard the 'thud' of the body falling completely, and the pained groan that was no longer suppressed. Ayaka Kamisato's body trembled violently and her head tilted back.

The fish soup left on the table seemed to have finally flowed to the edge of the table, found an outlet, and the water was flowing out in a torrent.

"Are you very sad?" Lin Jiu'an smiled and stroked her cheek.

Ayaka Kamisato, her expression dazed, shook her head, leaned on his shoulder, and revealed a smile that was both sorrowful and sickly.

She murmured, "I am very happy."

······

"Ayato Kamisato is dead?"

Kujo Takayuki received this news at the dinner table.

"you sure?"

"This is a message announced by the Kamisato family themselves. They have already begun preparing for the funeral. This is the funeral invitation."

I looked at it carefully several times.

Kujo Takayuki finally realized that Kamisato Ayato was probably really dead.

The Shinri family would not, and has no reason to, joke about something so harmful and pointless.

"Father, shall we attend the funeral?"

Kujo Takayuki glanced at the boy wearing black-rimmed glasses who looked seven or eight parts like himself.

His own son, Kujo Kamaji.

The other person's face was full of worry.

Kujo Takayuki waved his hand, and the servants and other family members who were eating tactfully left the room, leaving only the father and son.

"Are you worried that there's something wrong with Ayato Kamisato's death?"

"Yes."

Kujo Kamaji said, "Although the battle on Haiji Island is going well, Lin Jiu'an has not yet appeared."

“A few days ago, a sudden thunderstorm struck, and we lost contact with my brother. We still don’t know what happened on Haiqi Island.”

"And since that day, General, I have not seen you, Father."

"It's very strange that Ayato Kamisato has suddenly died at home. I'm worried..."

"What are you worried about?"

Kujo Takayuki chuckled: "Do you really think Lin Jiu'an can defeat the general?"

Kujo Kamaji remained silent. Although he felt that the matter was unlikely, the things happening now were all too unusual.

"absurd!"

Kujo Takayuki scolded, "You're good in every way, but you're just too timid."

"The general is a god, but no matter how strong Lin Jiu'an is, he is still just a human being."

"Aren't those 'Ladies' and 'Scrap Soldiers' formidable? Even Kujo Sara couldn't last more than a few rounds against them, but so what? Didn't I still cooperate with them?"

"Why am I not afraid that they might harm me or the Kujo family?"

"Because the general is here!"

"For five hundred years, ever since those monsters either died or fled, Inazuma has been the domain of the three magistrates. No matter what kind of general we are, they are our strongest support."

"And whatever we did wrong, it's just a matter of the father stepping down and the son taking over."

"Moreover, do you really think that with the general's power, she wouldn't know about our collusion with the Fools?"

Kujo Kamaji's heart skipped a beat, and he said in astonishment, "Could it be...?"

Kujo Takayuki smiled faintly and said, "No matter what, remember this: Inazuma is the shogun's Inazuma, and since the shogun trusts the Kujo family, Inazuma is our Kujo family's Inazuma."

"Even if, due to circumstances, I am later imprisoned by the general for my crimes."

"But as long as you act like a harmless person, you don't need anyone to believe you. As long as you deceive the public and others into believing that you have nothing to do with this matter, the general will continue to trust you and make you the next head of the Kujo family."

"As for the Fools and Lin Jiu'an, they are nothing but a bunch of lackeys."

"No matter how strong they are, can they withstand the general's 'unpredictable strike'?"

"Don't be fooled by your current antics; once the general makes a move, you can be wiped out in an instant."

"As long as the general is here, our lives will not be in danger no matter who we cooperate with, do you understand?"

"I understand, Father."

Looking at Kujo Kamaji bowing his head in remorse, Kujo Takayuki nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"I will attend the funeral as usual. I will take this opportunity to discuss the future distribution of Inazuma's assets with the heads of the family."

"besides."

Kujo Takayuki seemed to realize something and smiled as he looked at his son.

"Now that Ayato is dead, only Ayaka remains in the Kamisato family."

"You can take advantage of this funeral to spend more time with her."

Kujo Kamaji was taken aback, then a thought struck him.

Having previously seduced the daughter of the Kansei Magistrate, he clearly understood his father's meaning: he wanted him to win over Ayaka Kamisato.

There is a general present.

They cannot completely destroy the Shinri family.

However, Ayaka Kamisato is the main branch of the Kamisato family. As long as she doesn't get into trouble, she will definitely be in charge of the Kamisato family, and the next head of the Kamisato family will definitely be her descendant.

And once he gets rid of Ayaka Kamisato, the Kamisato family will just be the Kujo family without changing its name.

Just like Hiiragi Senri before.

As the only daughter of the head of the Hiiragi family, if we can win her over and marry her, what difference will there be between being the head of the Kansei (appointment magistrate) and being incorporated into their Tenryo (tenryo)?

Not to mention.

Compared to Hiiragi Chisato, who is so stupid and brainless because of her love.

The "Egret Princess," with her more outstanding looks, temperament, and figure, is clearly more attractive to men.

However, since Ayato Kamisato is here, once he marries Ayaka Kamisato, Ayaka Kamisato will be of little use.

Her value cannot be compared to that of the Hiiragi family's daughter.

Secondly, he is protected by that little monster, Ayato Kamisato.

He didn't dare to have any romantic feelings for Ayaka Kamisato.

Now, with Ayato Kamisato dead, Ayaka Kamisato is grieving for her brother's death and has to bear the burden of the Kamisato family with tears in her eyes. This is the most helpless time for her.

He took advantage of the situation...

Kujo Kamaji's mind was filled with images of Ayaka Kamisato's exquisite face, delicate figure, and gentle smile. Thinking of the pure and noble "White Heron Princess" in front of outsiders, he suddenly felt his mouth go dry and exchanged a knowing smile with his father.

"My son knows."

Looking at his sensible and intelligent son, Kujo Takayuki smiled broadly.

Although not as good as Ayato Kamisato, it is enough. The Kujo family has Kamaji in literature and Masahito in action. Why should they not prosper?

He added, "While I'm at it, I'll go and confirm that Ayato Kamisato is really dead."

Chapter Twenty-Two: Thomas / The Mastermind / The Fox (5K)

When Thomas rushed back to the Shinri family from out of town.

Then I saw that the house of Shinri was covered with white cloth.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the gate of the Kamisato family's house was wide open, with countless white cloths hanging from the eaves. As the night breeze blew, the dark gate resembled a gaping maw ready to devour its prey.

Thomas suddenly had a bad feeling.

Without stopping the servants of the Kamisato family, who were dressed in mourning clothes, from asking, Thomas hurried straight to the head of the family's office. Although it was already late, Ayato Kamisato would still be in his office handling official business at this time.

I arrived at the office without any problems and saw the figure sitting at the desk through the screen.

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, I have something to report to you."

"come in."

However, it was Ayaka Kamisato's voice that came from inside the room.

Thomas felt a chill run down his spine as he listened, his ominous premonition reaching its peak. As he walked in, he saw Ayaka Kamisato sitting in the seat that should have belonged to Ayato Kamisato.

"Miss."

"My lord, he..."

A hint of sadness flashed across Ayaka Kamisato's face.

"My elder brother has passed away due to overwork."

impossible!

Thomas almost couldn't help but directly refute Ayaka Kamisato.

It's true that Ayato Kamisato works long hours, but he has the Eye of God to enhance his body and often practices swordsmanship, so he's always been in good health. When he went out on a mission a while ago, Ayato Kamisato seemed fine. How come he suddenly died from overwork a few days later?

No disease can kill you this quickly, right?

But the next moment.

Looking at the sorrowful expression on Ayaka Kamisato's face, Thomas suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly remembered the instructions that Ayato Kamisato had given him.

'No matter what Ayaka invites you to eat, never eat it before she has.'
