It has to be said that Azami's intelligence was a bit higher than Gozaburo's.
He wasn't begging Genos for mercy, but Lott.
Although Genos was the one carrying out the executions, anyone with a bit of brain could see that Lott was the one holding the power of life and death!
Hearing Azami's offer to trade his daughter and niece for his life-
Erina and Alice, both students of Totsuki Academy, felt their eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.
'How utterly shameless!!!'
But considering Azami's actions of seizing the family head position from his father-in-law, Nakiri Senzaemon, it wasn't surprising he would do such a thing.
Meanwhile, Leonora Nakiri, Alice's mother, directly showed a shocked expression reminiscent of a Shiba Inu.
'No, wait, why am I involved in this?'
And Alice's father, Leonora's husband, Nakiri Soe, felt utterly terrible.
'Have any of you considered my feelings?!'
The way Soe looked at Lott at this moment was like a cuckold who couldn't get it up, watching a blonde guy holding his beautiful wife and cute daughter.
Resentment, frustration, regret, but he dared not voice his anger.
…
"How could Sensei be tempted by such vulgar conditions?"
However, before Lott could even indicate his stance, Genos had already raised his hand and brought the blade down.
The sharp razor severed Azami Nakiri's head.
Lott: "…"
Lott suddenly wondered if Genos had an overly idealized image of him.
He was, after all, a rather vulgar person himself.
But since the other party was a good disciple, Lott wouldn't contradict him.
…
At Totsuki Academy, Erina trembled violently.
She shared no father-daughter bond with Azami whatsoever.
In fact, after Azami recently returned and seized the family head's position from her grandfather.
Her feelings towards this father she hadn't seen in ten years were only fear and hatred.
But they still shared the same blood, so she couldn't remain completely indifferent.
Seeing this, Alice beside her quickly grabbed her cousin's hand and comforted her in a low voice.
…
Shinomiya Oko, Kaiba Gozaburo, Nakiri Azami... core council members of the Hero Association.
One after another, they were split in two by Genos's swift blade.
After killing three in a row, Genos didn't even give the remaining council members a chance to speak before sending them to meet King Yemma.
And honestly, the remaining capitalists couldn't have offered much else.
After all, money and women had already been tried by Gozaburo and Azami, and it seemed Lott wasn't interested in those things.
Before they could think of anything else to bribe Lott with, Genos had already chopped them up.
Amid the chaos at the Hero Association's headquarters-
Suzuki Shiro, head of the Suzuki Family, one of the Four Great Conglomerate, wiped the sweat from his chubby face with a handkerchief, trembling as he muttered to himself:
"So... so close..."
During the earlier meeting, regarding whether to continue the attack on Lott, he had been opposed.
Of course, Shiro wasn't doing this out of any fondness for Lott.
It was purely because he thought they couldn't win.
Regardless of whether Lott intended to destroy Planet Terra or not, they already knew they couldn't defeat him.
So it was better to leave him alone for now.
At least they could have a few more days of peace, right?
But Shiro never expected that this decision, made just to save his own skin, would end up saving his life.
"Sensei, what about this one? He didn't explicitly state his position during the meeting, but I believe he agreed."
At this moment, in the live stream, Genos pointed at the only survivor, Gan'an.
During the vote, it was his son, Oko, who raised his hand in agreement.
Genos had thought about it and brought him along anyway.
"Not absolutely opposed, means absolutely in agreement."
Lott said with a grin.
He wasn't like those Isekai Protagonists.
Always intentionally letting tigers return to the mountains, waiting for the enemy to level up and seek revenge, then humiliating them again, letting them go again, and humiliating them yet again.
It's too damn stupid.
If you don't bother me, I can't be bothered with you.
But since you've come to annoy me, be prepared to face the consequences.
"Understood."
Genos raised the razor high, its blade glinting ominously in the sunlight.
Perhaps because he didn't have many years left to live anyway, at the moment of death, the white-haired Gan'an Shinomiya acted surprisingly more dignified than his fellow Conglomerate's heads, Gozaburo and Azami.
He knelt on the ground like a samurai about to be decapitated, silent.
"Can you answer one question for a dying man?"
Just as Genos's blade was about to fall, Gan'an suddenly spoke.
Genos paused, looking up to gauge Lott's reaction.
Lott glanced sideways slightly, raising an eyebrow to indicate Gan'an should continue.
"After we die, will you seek revenge against our families?"
Gan'an looked up and asked Lott.
[Kaguya: !!??]
[Hayasaka: !!??]
[Erina: !!??]
[Alice: !!??]
…
Gan'an's question sent a chill down the spines of the members of the three Great Conglomerate's families (excluding the Suzuki Family).
They had all forgotten about this possibility.
If Lott dared to kill these core administrators of the Hero Association.
Wouldn't it be unsurprising if he later sought out the remnants of these council members to uproot the problem from its root?
