Kisara Tendo felt as if she were dreaming. After Mahiru Shiina's treatment, she found that all her physical problems had been resolved, and her failing kidneys were completely healed.
Fully recovered, she examined herself and realized there was no longer any pain. She was now a normal person. Feeling her current condition, Kisara's eyes widened in disbelief.
She hadn't felt this way since she was a child, back when her parents were still alive. She never expected that she would actually be able to recover.
"Th-Thank you..." Feeling her current state, Kisara was in a daze. She could actually become a normal person again; it was truly unexpected.
"You're welcome. You're fully recovered now." Mahiru Shiina's lips curled into a slight smile. Having saved a young girl, she was in a rather good mood.
Although the girl before her was blinded by hatred, Mahiru could understand. The murder of one's parents was a grudge that had to be avenged. She just wanted revenge, so what was wrong with that?
"Excuse me, when do we start the operation?" Kisara took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her heart, and looked up at Ren Isana. She couldn't wait to get her revenge.
*Today is a good day. To encounter such a wonderful thing,* Kisara thought to herself.
"We can start at any time. Asagi, you'll be in charge of overall coordination. Keep an eye on those people and notify us in the group chat if anything happens. Now, prepare to release the evidence of their crimes." Seeing this, Ren Isana didn't hesitate and directly gave orders to Asagi Aiba.
Receiving Ren's command, Asagi gave an OK gesture and began operating her computer. Soon, evidence regarding the corruption and embezzlement of those individuals surfaced on the internet.
To prevent those people from noticing, Asagi deliberately wove an information cocoon for them, making them oblivious to what was happening online. On their phones, everything appeared completely normal.
As Asagi began to publish the various pieces of evidence, the netizens who saw this information were instantly thrown into an uproar. No one could believe what they were seeing.
*Is this information fake? How could those famous figures possibly be embezzling?* But when all the evidence was laid out before them, everyone felt as if they had been plunged into an icy abyss.
The ironclad evidence forced people to believe it. Anyone with a normal mind could tell it was real, especially regarding Monolith 32, constructed by the Tendo family. How dare they? How dare they cut corners on materials?
That was meant to protect the city; it was the blood, sweat, and tears of countless people! And they dared to cut corners on such a critical issue? In an instant, everyone was furious. Netizens began cursing relentlessly in the comment sections of the posts.
However, the bizarre thing was that no matter how outrageous and foul their insults were, the platform didn't react at all, as if they couldn't see it.
Normally, if people insulted a big shot online, the posts would be deleted very quickly. But now?
Now, no one paid any attention. You could curse however you wanted.
Some sharp-minded individuals also noticed the strangeness of the situation, making them realize that the political climate was about to change drastically. And it wasn't just a few people who noticed this.
Some even tried to make phone calls to inquire, only to find that the lines were completely dead. Even if they connected, it was just a busy tone. The entire network was currently being manipulated by an invisible hand.
These messages were continuously pushed to everyone in the city. In a short period, most citizens became aware of the situation. Within just a few hours, the entire city had seen the shocking documents.
Ren Isana and the others also began to move. The movements of the people on the list were all monitored by Asagi Aiba, so she knew exactly where they were and constantly updated this information in the group chat.
Aside from Ren and his group taking action, Seitenshi also made her move. She directly took Ais, Asagi, and the others back to her residence to wait for tomorrow.
Because tomorrow, she would give a speech to the entire city. After tonight, she would seize absolute power, and she believed no one would refuse. She was, after all, the nominal head of this city.
This was something many people acknowledged. As for her being a puppet, very few people actually knew about it. The public only knew her as the city's leader.
As night fell, Seitenshi, having returned to her residence, felt a bit apprehensive. Her gaze frequently drifted toward Asagi, who was currently wearing an earpiece and communicating with someone.
She was constantly relaying the locations of the targets on the list to everyone. Seitenshi specifically heard Asagi reporting Kikunojo Tendo's location to Ren Isana.
"The target will arrive home in five minutes. All core members have gathered, and he already knows what's happening on the internet." Asagi's words meant that the Tendo family was aware of the situation and was preparing to hold a meeting.
Hearing this, Ren Isana, who had already arrived near the Tendo estate, chuckled and couldn't help but say, "That's perfect. We can take them all out in one fell swoop."
After saying this, Ren looked at Kisara Tendo, who had followed them. Hearing Ren's words, she became entirely thrilled.
Kisara had strongly requested that Ren bring her along. In her words, if she couldn't witness her enemies die with her own eyes, she would have regrets for the rest of her life.
Ren thought about it and simply brought her along. After all, one more person didn't make a difference; it didn't matter either way. Kisara's hand, gripping the hilt of her sword, trembled slightly. She was already getting impatient.
However, she also knew she had to wait for Ren's orders. She would only charge when Ren told her to; she couldn't disrupt their plans. She could only suppress her excitement and wait patiently.
Withdrawing his gaze from her, Ren kept his [Perception Magic] active. Watching the cars drive into the ancient compound one by one, he slowly said, "Let's go. It's our turn now."
With that, Ren sprang into action. Asuna and the others followed closely behind, their weapons already drawn, marching alongside Ren toward the Tendo estate.
At this moment, the Tendo estate was already under strict martial law. They seemed to have sensed that something was about to happen. After all the core members of the Tendo family had gathered, the place was protected by a group of heavily armed guards.
As Ren and his group stepped into the area where the Tendo estate was located, a Magic Circle instantly formed, enveloping the entire region. The sudden anomaly immediately caused the armed guards' expressions to change drastically.
They also noticed Ren's group right away. Without any hesitation, they opened fire. The sudden appearance of this group and the glowing phenomena around them indicated that this was no simple matter.
Bullets rained down on Ren and the others. Facing their attack, Asuna and the rest charged forward first. A series of clinking sounds rang out as the incoming bullets were effortlessly deflected by their blades.
Megumi Kato's figure had already vanished from her spot. When she reappeared, she emerged from behind the guards, ruthlessly thrusting her dagger and instantly reaping lives one by one.
Asuna and Yukino, who had charged forward, also quickly launched attacks on the guards, killing them on the spot. Without Ren even needing to lift a finger, a one-sided massacre began to unfold.
At the same time, the commotion here attracted guards from other areas. More and more security personnel rushed toward the scene. Kikunojo Tendo, who had just returned, shrank his pupils.
Hearing the sounds of battle outside, they quickly prepared themselves. Especially as screams echoed from outside, their unease grew. What kind of enemies had broken in?
Were they targeting the Tendo family from the very beginning? Kikunojo's face was now extremely gloomy. Thinking about what had happened this afternoon, his expression worsened the more he thought about it.
So the other party planned to eliminate them directly, and combined with that criminal evidence, leave them no chance to turn things around. Having figured all this out, Kikunojo's face was incredibly ugly.
He decisively took out his phone, preparing to mobilize the military. However, as soon as he picked it up, he noticed there was no signal at all. In other words, this place was completely sealed off.
"Family Head, the secret passage has been blocked by a special energy. We can't leave at all!" Just then, a member of the Tendo family returned with a grim face to deliver this bad news to Kikunojo.
"I'd like to see exactly who it is!" Hearing this, Kikunojo's heart sank to the bottom. Realizing they were completely cut off from the outside world, his face turned as dark as it could be. He grabbed a katana and walked straight out.
Aside from being highly influential in politics, the Tendo family's combat power was not to be underestimated, possessing their own inherited sword style. The other family members also grabbed their weapons and walked out.
Having reached this point, they had no other way out. Other than going outside and eliminating the intruders, they couldn't think of any other solution. At this critical moment of life and death, everyone had their backs against the wall!
When the Tendo family members stepped outside and saw the scene, their expressions changed drastically. It was a one-sided slaughter. A few young girls were chopping down the rushing guards like slicing vegetables, killing them on the spot.
Firearms? They were completely useless against these opponents. And what shocked them the most was that the moment they stepped out, a rocket was fired toward Ren's direction.
But before the rocket could even get close, the young man swung his blade, slicing the rocket apart from a distance. These weapons were completely ineffective against the intruders!
"Kikunojo Tendo, Hinata Tendo, Gendaku Tendo, Hiromi Tendo, Kazumitsu Tendo... I've found you!" Just as their faces paled, a voice like a malicious spirit rang out.
The moment she saw these people, Kisara Tendo could no longer hold back. She charged straight at them, her tone filled with killing intent. Right now, she only wanted to hack these people to pieces.
Seeing this, Ren wasn't particularly surprised. He simply cast a few spells silently, adding a layer of buffs to her. Since the girl wanted revenge, let her have it. She had lived for this very purpose since she was a child. What could Ren do? Stop her?
With the buffs applied, Kisara's speed erupted to the absolute limit. In the blink of an eye, she dashed in front of Kazumitsu Tendo, who was the first to come out, and swung her blade. Before he could even react, his head flew into the air.
Even as blood sprayed onto her, Kisara didn't blink an eye. Having killed her first enemy, she smiled. Like a demon from hell, her smile was incredibly eerie.
Coupled with the sight of her drenched in blood, the scene instantly scared the core members of the Tendo family half to death. However, Kisara's blade wouldn't stop.
Until she killed all of them, she wouldn't stop. Having chopped down one, she charged toward the second. Hinata Tendo was targeted by her. The killing techniques she had honed for over a decade completely erupted at this moment.
Her blade, fast to the extreme, slashed toward the enemies who had murdered her parents. Right now, her mind was filled with only one thought: revenge, revenge, and more revenge. These people in front of her all deserved to die!
"Bastard!!" Kikunojo Tendo finally snapped out of his daze. Seeing two core members die right in front of him, he was thoroughly enraged. Without a word, he drew his sword and met her charge, and the others also reacted.
They all drew their swords and began to clash with Kisara. Fighting against many, even with several buffs, she was still outnumbered and overwhelmed. Kisara was starting to struggle against the siege of so many people.
Fortunately, Megumi Kato had sneaked over at this time. Just as one of them was about to strike Kisara, Megumi's dagger ruthlessly pierced through his neck. Then, with a flash, her figure vanished from the spot.
Saved from the attack, Kisara didn't hesitate and swung a full-powered strike at Gendaku Tendo. This core member of the Tendo family was instantly taken out by her.
Having eliminated another enemy, Kisara's smile grew even brighter. She glanced around and found that only one old man was left—Kikunojo Tendo.
The rest had all been conveniently dispatched by Megumi Kato. For Megumi, who came and went without a trace, killing these people was like child's play; they weren't even on the same level.
And this person was deliberately left for Kisara to finish off. Megumi knew very well that this man was the core figure of the Tendo family and Kisara's most important enemy!
The death of her parents was single-handedly orchestrated by the man before her. That was why Megumi specifically left him alive; otherwise, she could have killed everyone present in an instant.
"It's your turn, Kikunojo Tendo!!" Although Kisara felt a bit of regret that she couldn't personally execute all of them, this was enough. The mastermind was still here, and that was all that mattered.
"Kisara Tendo!!" Kikunojo was furious. He never expected things to turn out this way. The surrounding battles had ceased, and the stench of blood filled the air.
The Tendo family's private armed forces had been completely wiped out. Everyone present today was a prominent figure in the Tendo family, because unless you held a certain position, you couldn't participate in this meeting.
Therefore, in the massive Tendo family, not a single one of them was innocent. They were all gathered here, and Ren and the others had no interest in dealing with the rest. Wiping out these core members was enough.
"Heh, so you have your day too. When you murdered my parents, you probably never thought this day would come!" Kisara looked at him as if she were looking at a dead man.
She had waited too long for this day, and now she could finally get her revenge. As her words fell, Kisara launched her attack, shooting forward like a bullet, her katana slashing ruthlessly toward him.
"Hmph, my biggest regret is letting you live in this world!" Kikunojo snorted coldly, his face grim. He didn't expect to fail here, regretting why he hadn't exterminated her back then.
The two clashed. Under Kisara's full-powered outburst, Kikunojo's old and frail body simply couldn't withstand it. One had to know that the current Kisara was fully recovered.
Her combat power went without saying. The strength she unleashed was far, far greater than his. What could he possibly use to counter Kisara in her prime?
The weapon in Kikunojo's hand was knocked away, and Kisara's katana mercilessly slashed into him. Blood spurted out, and the intense pain caused Kikunojo to let out an agonizing howl.
Watching this scene, Kisara felt no emotional fluctuation. She stared coldly at Kikunojo, and in the next moment, she swung her blade again, directly severing his arm.
For the ensuing time, Kisara acted like a tireless machine, swinging her blade again and again, venting all the hatred she had harbored over the years. This scene made Asuna and the others turn their eyes away.
Everyone looked elsewhere. Ren, however, calmly glanced at it and then ignored it. Instead, he spoke to Asagi Aiba, "Things here are done. Have the Shiba family come and clean up the battlefield. Prepare the news and release it. Just say that the Tendo family fled in fear of punishment, and some committed suicide."
Hearing Ren's words, Asagi immediately responded, "Understood, it's all arranged. Don't worry, everyone will see the news tomorrow morning. When the time comes, have the Tendo family's eldest daughter come over to Seitenshi's side."
Tomorrow's grand play still needed her help to act out, because she needed to represent the Tendo family to plead guilty, and then strip those people of their Tendo family status. The script was already written, and she believed Kisara would be more than happy to comply.
Hearing this, Ren glanced at Kisara on the other side. He could only say that the woman was truly ruthless; she was actually still hacking away. He said, a bit speechless, "Alright, I'll tell her in a bit. But let's wait until she finishes venting. Today, I'm really watching someone get minced into meat paste."
