Additionally, I have many new works readers may be interested in. Go look, if you wish! 

"Ladies and gentlemen, nothing is impossible; let's not forget how powerful our 'White Reaper' is!"

Suddenly, someone spoke up, causing everyone to pause and then show contemplative expressions.

"Moreover, the opponent specifically requested a battle with the noble Arima. Perhaps they know each other or have had some sort of relationship in the past."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, their brains rapidly weighing the pros and cons.

"If it's as you say, then maybe we at the CCG can gain another 'Reaper' in the future."

"Right, where is Arima now?"

"He's leading the search team, exploring District 24. Only he can navigate that vast labyrinth beneath Tokyo with ease, like 'whack-a-mole,' without being eaten by the lurking ghouls."

"It's just at this time. Is it too late?"

"I'm thinking, given the target's current behavior, it seems they don't wish to antagonize us at the CCG. This can be inferred from the fact they didn't attack Investigators Mado and Koutarou Amon."

"Even when they came to headquarters, they didn't kill anyone. Most were just knocked unconscious by some impact, including Kishou Arima, who was only severely injured."

Abel felt somewhat helpless. If he had known earlier, he should have had Koutarou Amon drive him back.

"It looks like I still need to return to District 11 to continue rat-catching. But can I really clean up District 11 all by myself?"

"You'll be warmly welcomed. I'll entertain you in the most enthusiastic way when you arrive."

Yet he had been turned down by several taxis after they heard he wanted to go to District 11, none of them taught him how to use a Quinque.

Abel didn't care, and Mado could only report the situation as it was.

"Is that so? I'm looking forward to it."

But once he held that knife, he knew everything there was to know; there were no secrets from him.

"District 11, huh? It's not very safe there lately, and I also have some business in District 20. But you're in luck, meeting me. Hop in the car, and after I'm done, I'll take you to District 11."

Previously, with someone leading the way, it was fine, but now, the moment his mind wandered, he didn't know where he was.

However, with no orders from the superiors, Mado and Koutarou Amon naturally didn't say much.

After getting into the car, the two chatted for a bit and learned each other's names.

Although with his current strength, encountering ghouls was an outright slaughter.

"The other party doesn't seem uncommunicative; I think we can."

Of course, this was due to the recent chaos in District 11.

"Do you mean to enlist the CCG's help? That could be a way."

"It's possible."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce him; this is Abel, a guest joining us at the restaurant."

Even though the other party had shown no issues in their behavior and attitude, Abel noticed the guy had carefully scrutinized him, eyes examining him as if selecting fine pork.

The phone call ended.

"Time."

Just then, a four-seater sports car suddenly stopped in front of him.

"I was thinking, since the intentions of our visitor are clear, perhaps we could engage in a friendly conversation, especially since it's a fact that the noble Arima is currently not at headquarters."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"This knife is temporarily commandeered by me. If you want to try and take it back, you're welcome to try at any time."

They exchanged smiles, each with their own cunning plans.

"I concur."

"Tomorrow."

"My name is Yusuke Yamazaki, and I'm the owner of a restaurant, usually considered a gourmet who loves to eat."

He initially had thought this Prayer Wishing order was too simple.

Although Abel was not geographically challenged, it was his first visit and he was unfamiliar with the area.

Abel walked pondering with a bit of a headache.

Abel smiled too, "I'd like to go to District 11. Could you give me a ride?"

Abel had no interest in loitering around the CCG headquarters anymore and turned to leave.

Abel casually slung the suitcase over his shoulder. His tall stature and handsome face drew stares from many nearby women, who quickly blushed.

Yusuke Yamazaki asked Abel to wait in the car for a while, then went off to do something.

"I am Kisho Arima, the one you're looking for. Currently, I'm not at headquarters. You can find me in District 24, or wait for me to return and then come to you."

"Let's just take a taxi back."

Only when it's down to the wire will we see who the real hunter is.

"Given his current demonstrated power, I can assume he's holding back significantly. Should he start a massacre now, the consequences would be terrifying, which you all surely realize."

When he returned, he was accompanied by a shy young man with an eyepatch over his left eye.

"Tell Kisho Arima to come to talk to me."

"That's quite a coincidence; I also love eating the most. Do you mind if I visit your restaurant?"

Then, Mado, who had been leading the way, received orders from his superiors and told Abel in an odd tone, "Someone wants to sit down and have a word with you."

A flamboyant man with blue-purple hair and clad in a red suit gave Abel a gentlemanly smile.

A minute later, Kisho Arima's voice came through Mado's phone.

"Before Arima returns, let's proceed with this plan. Also, be ready to eliminate him if the negotiations break down."

"After defeating Kisho Arima tomorrow and completing the selectable content of the Prayer Wishing order, we can give it a try."

After leaving the CCG headquarters, the large cleaver in Abel's hand had become a suitcase.

This was the effect of the "Devil's Blade contract."

He allowed Shinohara Yukinori's quinque "Oniyamada Type 1" to be taken away.

Soon after, they arrived in District 20.

"The challenge has been issued; where to next?"

The issue is that it isn't easy to locate ghouls blended into human society, which seems somewhat passive.

Whether CCG will truly compromise remains to be seen tomorrow when Kisho Arima personally assesses.

Moreover, the intelligence of many ghouls isn't low, further reducing efficiency.

It must be said, he's the only one bold enough to be this brazen at CCG headquarters.

Abel made his way up, surprisingly unobstructed, seemingly under some sort of directive.

"So, what plan should we consider?"

.....

"Hello, can I assist you?"

"Hm? Where have I ended up?"

"Hello, my name is Ken Kaneki."

Ken Kaneki quickly bowed in greeting.

Abel glanced at the future 'One-Eyed King', simply nodding his head slightly.

At this time, even Ken Kaneki still had black hair.
