The two brothers started arguing right in front of Xia Yan and Tian Yin, oblivious to everyone else.
However, children's arguments are more like a competition to see who can shout the loudest.
"He died because of that overly optimistic thinking! What are you all thinking? That idiot threw his life away for nothing, and you want to die like him?!"
"You're not allowed to talk about your father like that!"
"I'm just stating the facts!"
Clearly, in terms of verbal sparring, Tokito Muichiro was several levels below Tokito Yuichiro. He was already flushed red with anger after just a few words.
Seeing that the two brothers were about to escalate their verbal battle into a physical one, Tianyin tugged at Xia Yan's haori with some concern.
Xia Yan nodded knowingly, and then, to Tian Yin's astonishment, he helped the two boys, whose faces had turned red, by giving them a physical cooling treatment.
wow——
With Xia Yan's precise control skills, he successfully turned both brothers into drowned rats.
However, since the water in the basin had been exposed to the sun for a while, it wasn't likely to cause the two children to catch a cold.
"What are you doing, you bastard!?"
Yuichiro Tokito instinctively shielded Muichiro behind him, barking at Natsuhiko like a hedgehog with its feathers standing on end.
Muichiro, however, lowered his head and remained silent after realizing that he had almost gotten into a fight with his brother, who was his only family.
"Shut up, you brat!"
Xia Yan flicked Tokito Ichiro on the head, sending him tumbling. Tokito Ichiro then rubbed his ears, which had been itchy from the two brothers' shouting.
"In the end, the idea that you two brothers would use your talents to kill ghosts is just something you made up in your own head!"
"It was your brother's own idea to become a swordsman. We never said that you two were going to fight demons!"
Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Tokito Ichiro, who had fallen to the ground, was stunned.
But then, as if he had just thought of something, he struggled to stand up.
"Don't try to fool us with sweet talk! That woman clearly said we inherited the bloodline of the so-called first swordsman! And she said she wasn't just trying to use us!?"
"Huh!? Don't get me wrong! Your talents are nothing to me!"
As Xia Yan spoke, he tapped Tokito Ichiro's forehead with the scabbard, knocking Ichiro, who was about to stand up, down on his butt again.
This time, it was Muichiro's turn to protect his brother.
"What are you doing! What are you doing..."
"Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking!"
Snapped--
Before Muichiro Tokito could finish his lines, Natsuhiko flicked him on the forehead again, making the two brothers sit side by side.
"Listen up, you two little devils!"
"I don't care about any so-called bloodline talent at all. No matter how talented you two are, you can never reach my level!"
"However, as descendants of the first generation of breathing technique swordsmen, you two are destined to be connected with 'demons'! Even if you don't join the Demon Slayer Corps, demons will find you!"
"By then, if neither of you has the protection of the Demon Slayer Corps and hasn't mastered your own powers, you'll die a horrible death!"
"What you're saying is just scaremongering! In the end, you just want the two of us to go with you!"
Despite Tokito Ichiro's statement, he no longer possessed the same indomitable spirit he had at the beginning.
Clearly, while they didn't entirely believe Xia Yan's statement, they were quite worried.
"Think what you want," Xia Yan said in a nonchalant tone. "I have no obligation to prove anything to you!"
"If you really don't care, we can leave now and never bother you again. Just don't regret it if anything goes wrong!"
Tokito Yuichiro remained silent.
Muichiro glanced at his brother, then at Natsuhiko and Amane standing to the side, but said nothing.
The air fell eerily quiet for a moment.
After a moment, seeing that Tokito Ichiro still had a conflicted expression, Natsuhiko said somewhat impatiently:
"Kid! I don't have the patience to waste time with you here! Give me an answer in three seconds, or I'll take it as a rejection!"
"one!"
"two!"
"..."
"Wait!" Before Xia Yan could even count to three, Tokito Ichiro stood up, stopping him from counting. "I understand, we'll go with you..."
Upon hearing Ichiro's words, Natsuhiko nodded in satisfaction, revealing an expression that said, "This kid is teachable."
Ignoring Tokito Ichiro's unwilling expression, she ruffled his wet hair haphazardly.
"That's a good boy! Children should act like children and be obedient."
Mrs. Amane, who was standing to the side, smiled with satisfaction when she saw that Xia Yan had successfully persuaded the Tokito brothers.
Although the process was somewhat unexpected, the final result was good.
……
The world of Akame Killer.
"Here you go, the agreed-upon commission, it's all top-purity gold."
In the desolate wilderness, Xia Yan threw the gold bars that other worlds had given him as aid towards the beautiful, fairy-like girl opposite him.
The girl had long, straight, black hair that reached her calves, parted in two at the back, and had a beauty mark at the corner of her eye.
The clothing cannot be described as conservative.
It can only be described as charming and interesting.
The entire outfit is mostly a charming purple, with an open-chested vest on top. The fabric can barely cover up the slightly unsightly bust.
She showed off her sexy cleavage and abs.
Her back was completely exposed, making you want to get cupping done just looking at it.
Her lower body was dressed in an outfit similar to a long skirt, but the outer thighs and buttocks were exposed as if giving a bonus, with only a narrow strip of cloth covering the key parts.
As the strip of cloth swayed, something seemed to be vaguely visible, but it was always just a little bit off.
It makes one sigh with regret.
She exudes a succubus-like allure, brimming with a postmodern DIY beaker style.
Of course, if Xia Yan really wanted to see it, it wouldn't make any difference even if she wore a full set of plate armor.
However, it must be admitted that sometimes this sense of partial concealment is more eye-catching than full exposure.
This girl, who looks somewhat like a beaker, is none other than Melard Oberg, the current leader of the infamous assassination society "Oberg".
Chapter 208 Natsuhiko's Ambition in Killing Red Eyes
Of course, although it's called an assassination mission, they also take on other missions besides assassination.
They are only famous for their assassination society because of their great strength and extremely high success rate in assassinations.
In fact, they also accept mercenary missions such as intelligence gathering, escorting, and protection; otherwise, Xia Yan wouldn't have approached them.
Merard cushioned the weight of the gold bar and then casually tore it in half again.
After confirming that everything was exactly the same inside and out, he nodded in satisfaction and casually stuffed the gold bar into his empty pocket.
"It is indeed very pure gold, and in terms of value alone, it is already worth more than its price."
"But are you sure you want to go find Esdeath? How about staying and joining Oberg? That woman is very violent, unlike me, I only feel sorry for my brother~"
Melard blinked and playfully offered Xia Yan a suggestion.
However, the tone of his voice was more like a seduction than a suggestion.
It must be said that this woman knows how to make good use of her advantages. Although her front armor is a bit thin, she is undoubtedly a first-class beauty.
She exudes a captivating and mesmerizing charm.
"But I refuse!"
Xia Yan said righteously, and even felt that his integrity had increased by a few tenths of a percentage point.
After all, he's a person who has seen it all.
He wouldn't be so easily swayed by a woman.
After all, in Xia Yan's shared experiences in the hentai anime, let alone those who looked like succubi, there were several purebred succubi chained up in the basement.
Although he couldn't say he had personally experienced it, he definitely felt the same way. So, Xia Yan said that he was not only unmoved by this childish seduction, but even wanted to laugh a little.
Of course, his refusal to accept the invitation wasn't solely because Merard wasn't hot enough.
The main reason is that there's no future in following her.
After all, as his strength grows, Xia Yan's ambition will naturally expand as well.
He is no longer just that despicable adventurer who wanted to coast along and take care of the village that raised him.
While their counterparts in other worlds are all scheming to accomplish great things, they naturally can't afford to fall behind.
The current state of the empire can be summed up in the phrase "This is truly a critical moment of survival."
The world was not only divided into three, but the northern barbarians had always been eyeing it covetously, the western barbarians colluded with the revolutionary army, the southern barbarians, seeing the empire beset by internal and external troubles, raised their breakfast, and the eastern Anning Road, using the name of religion to gain momentum, was also preparing to confront the empire.
The young emperor's behavior can be described as taking the phrase "favoring sycophants and distancing oneself from virtuous ministers" to its extreme, making chaos in the world inevitable.
As the saying goes,
The emperor's throne rotates, next year it's my turn.
Since the empire is on the verge of collapse, and Xia Yan's strength, while not invincible, is certainly among the top tier.
If he could possess a sufficiently powerful army, he could raise the banner of overthrowing the tyranny of the empire and thus purge the court of corrupt officials.
Esdeath clearly fits this requirement perfectly.
