This thought suddenly appeared in Kikunojou Tendo mind.
But how could this be possible?
"No, the Holy Emperor would never do this," Kikunojou Tendo shook his head unwillingly.
"The Tendo family plays a vital role in the Tokyo area. The Holy Emperor would never do such a foolish thing, unless..."
Unless the Holy Emperor no longer needed the Tendo family.
At this moment, this old man, who had seemed to be in good health, finally showed signs of decay.
Thinking back on the muddied waters of the Tokyo government in recent days with many high-ranking officials being dismissed and the transfer of power proceeding at an abnormal speed Kikunojou Tendo finally understood everything.
He had been searching for the culprit who had muddied the waters, but he never expected that the culprit was actually the Holy Emperor.
He had originally thought that those newcomers, who had no political experience whatsoever but were placed in important positions, were from some other organization. Now, it seemed that those new officials must be the Holy Emperor people.
Unbeknownst to him, the Tokyo government had already completed a power purge.
Many officials who were on good terms with the Tendo family had either been driven away or thrown into prison. Even many of the Tendo family's direct relatives had been arrested.
And now, the most important member of the Tendo family besides himself the next clan leader, Tendo Kazuhiko had also been completely destroyed.
Using Tendo and Hikari as stepping stones, the Holy Emperor had saved the people of Tokyo at the most critical moment. At this point, the Holy Emperor had already brought his prestige to its peak in a short period of time.
The Tendo family was finished.
As this realization dawned on him, uncontrollable anger welled up in Kikunojou Tendo heart.
"Who is it?"
He clenched his fists tightly, his aura as sharp as a sword, making those around him afraid to approach. He roared with his eyes wide open: "Who is standing behind the Holy Emperor?!"
He refused to believe that the Holy Emperor, who had no opinions of his own and always sought his advic on everything, could achieve this alone.
It must be that, while he was not paying attention, some thieves from other forces had used sweet words to deceive the Holy Emperor, causing her to launch a siege on the Tendo family a family of meritorious officials.
This question did not take Kikunojou Tendo much time to answer.
Because the figure of Kisara Tendo appeared on TV.
"Why is she appearing at the press conference?"
Seeing his granddaughter appear on such an important occasion, Kikunojou Tendo pupils suddenly contracted.
Originally, he had never taken this rebellious girl seriously, but in the past few days, Kisara Tendo had caused him a great deal of trouble.
It was as if someone was helping his good-for-nothing granddaughter fulfill her wish for revenge.
Recalling the changes that had taken place between the Holy Emperor and Kisara Tendo, Kikunojou Tendo thoughts turned rapidly, and he instinctively realized that something was wrong.
Then, a name suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Nia Honjo!"
He uttered the name through gritted teeth.
He couldn't be wrong.
He should have thought of it earlier.
This woman, who had joined Kisara Tendo company, tried every means to meet with the Holy Emperor, possessed the ability to kill the Legacy of the Seven Stars a mechanical warrior and whose life and background were extremely mysterious, must be the mastermind behind this vortex.
It was this woman who had ruined his plans to summon the Zodiac Gastrea.
It was this woman who had provided the Holy Emperor with dirt on government officials.
It was this woman who was playing everyone around her.
No matter how they investigated, there was nothing suspicious about her identity.
But this did not mean that she was innocent. Rather, it proved that there was something wrong with her identity!
Just as Kikunojou Tendo finally understood the trap set by Nia Honjo, on TV, the Holy Emperor had already moved on to the second topic.
"Besides that, I have good news to announce."
After announcing that the new monolith would be completed, the Holy Emperor invited Kisara Tendo into the camera.
Just as planned, Kisara Tendo carefully handed a can of blue potion, placed in an exquisite small box, to the Holy Emperor.
"This is a medicine developed by a research institute in Tokyo."
The Holy Emperor suppressed his excitement as much as possible and displayed the potion, called Hope, to all the people of Tokyo: "Its function is to completely eliminate the protovirus in the bodies of the Cursed Children, allowing them to turn back into humans!"
When these words were spoken, the reporters were all stunned.
But soon, seeing the serious look on the Holy Emperor face, they began asking questions like mad.
As if this was more shocking than the case of Tendo and Hikaru's corruption.
In fact, this was exactly the case.
Corruption was everywhere, but erosion rate blockers were something that no country had been able to develop.
As journalists, they had a keen sense of smell and naturally knew what this meant.
As long as this medicine was real, Tokyo would become the focus of the world and the center for conquering the enterovirus in the future.
Faced with the reporters who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, the Holy Emperor did not choose to answer any of their questions.
"I know that everyone here must be full of doubts, and it is difficult for the citizens of Tokyo watching on TV to believe the authenticity of the potion," the Holy Emperor said calmly. "The Tokyo government has no intention of concealing the potion's formula. All experimental reports, production methods, and potion ingredients have been published on the Tokyo government's official website. Anyone can check them."
This was another bombshell.
This statement from the Holy Emperor made all those who did not believe her put aside their doubts temporarily.
Because the Holy Emperor had no reason to lie.
If all the information about this medicine were given away for free, a professional organization would soon conduct experiments to determine its authenticity.
At the Tendo residence, the furious Kikunojou Tendo was also slightly stunned.
He hated the Cursed Children.
As for the reason, it was simply because they also carried the protovirus in their bodies and would one day become Gastrea.
It could be said that they were the larvae of Gastrea.
However, with the emergence of erosion rate blockers, the enterovirus in the bodies of the Cursed Children would be completely eliminated.
If that was the case, did he have any reason to continue hating the Cursed Children?
Perhaps not anymore.
However, the hatred between him and Nia Honjo could not be easily resolved.
"Ding ding ding!"
Just then, Kikunojou Tendo cell phone rang.
But now, he didn't want to talk to anyone, so he hung up the phone directly.
However, the caller seemed determined to speak with Kikunojou Tendo and kept calling.
It wasn't until Kikunojou Tendo turned off his phone completely that he finally felt at peace.
"What should the Tendo family do in the future?"
Just as he was thinking about the future of the Tendo family, the cell phone of Tendo Heguang, who was sitting next to him as if he had lost his soul, suddenly rang.
Then, there was Tendo Shimin cell phone, Tendo Hinata cell phone...
At this moment, the cell phones of all the family leaders gathered in the lobby rang, interweaving into a creepy melody.
Kikunojou Tendo eyes turned cold.
He turned on his cell phone again.
Sure enough, his cell phone rang.
He answered the phone, and a gentle male voice came through.
"Sir Tendo, I'm sure you must be in trouble right now, just like us."
A strange man spoke on the other end of the phone.
"Since we have a common enemy, why not unite to defend our interests? What do you think?"
