Obstacles

"Um... That's not possible. We had a good conversation a moment ago. Why would he consider killing us?" After hearing what Uta said, Itori was momentarily stunned and scared at the same time.

She hadn't realized.

In most situations she had faced in her life, she had never suffered so much due to her beauty. It might sound a bit conceited on her part, but she didn't believe Kenzo capable of uprooting such a beautiful flower as herself. But for Kenzo, that doesn't matter. For him, it is not impossible to uproot a beautiful garden to achieve his goals.

"Maybe it's a trap he set for us, and it'll make sense later. It's better if we move the way he wants us to, or it's most likely we'll die. I know him, I've worked with him, and I can tell you that I've made more than 5,000 Ghoul masks for him. Can you imagine the members of the organization he belongs to?" Uta's words were not laden with concern; he was just trying to make his acquaintances realize the importance and danger of dealing with someone like Kenzo.

But it's curious that now the son of Kuzen Yoshimura is seeking information about the organization V. After all, his father was a former member who separated from that organization due to unknown events.

That's why they have privileged information.

What exactly is Kenzo looking for in the organization V? His intentions are clear, as he came to District 14, which means he probably plans to expand like an unstoppable virus.

Kenzo intends to extend his influence to the point of becoming a complete Ghoul King, and for the first time, a dictatorship might emerge in the depths of the night.

Whether that is good or bad, only time will tell, as well as whether Kenzo will manage to do it before being stopped.

...

Walking through the darkness of the night, Kenzo had decided not to kill them because he knew Uta, who is very dear to Touka.

As he walked, he contemplated whether his choices had been correct and whether he had made any mistakes.

While he walked, he saw a cat emerging from a dark alley and said, "Unlike you, perhaps all of us might have a chance, don't you think? When that happens, I'll give you a chance too, little cat."

Kenzo now had plenty of time, but aside from District 14, he needed to thoroughly investigate District 19 and find out who was leading there. When he thought about it, among the districts he hadn't visited and had zero information on were Districts 1 to 4. It's possible that the organization V was hiding there.

But that's a little absurd, isn't it? It's known that those districts are the heart of the CCG. So, if they manage to infiltrate their surveillance network, it means they are strong and smart enough to blend among humans without being discovered. Considering that, things might become a bit challenging. After all, there would be many other things he should do before reaching those districts.

At that moment, while pondering over many things, Kenzo's figure disappeared in a blink to a special area of District 14. From what he had heard, the organization Twelve Monkeys operated in this district.

"Not everyone is as sophisticated as he or any other organization, so things shouldn't be hard to trace. This time, Kenzo moved to a place where he would verify the information given to him by those who sought refuge in his organization.

In the eastern area, there is an abandoned building. This desolate place, where brutal murders occur daily, belonged to an extremely brutal group of Ghouls. Although this organization cannot be considered troublesome in District 14, they are indeed a thorn in the side that needs to be cleaned up.

At that moment, in the empty hell of the building, a middle-aged man covered in tattoos was celebrating. When the hunt in District 14 is over, and the food is readily available, they come to celebrate.

The door opened, and a group of Ghouls entered the building. "It's been a while since I tasted the eyes of a beautiful human woman. It seems she was on her way to District 20 to live in that supposed safe place."

"If we enter that place, it won't be safe anymore, will it?" A man with some tattoos tore a limb from the female corpse on the floor and began to bite the flesh, but after a while, he left the limb. Eating only one corpse per month is extremely boring.

"You've heard it, haven't you? They say that anyone who enters District 20 never comes back alive. Everyone says a group of lunatics guarding the safety of humans moves around that place." A figure with a type of trash bag over their head whispered.

"Damn, if it weren't for those idiots who didn't want us to look, I wouldn't have stayed in this ghostly place forever. By the way, what the hell are you doing here, Sato?" The one who seemed to be the group leader asked the man whose head was wrapped in a black bag.

"I just came in because it's cold outside. I'll go out to keep watch once I've warmed up in here." Sato said casually as he approached the bonfire.

"If they are as powerful as they claim to be, why aren't they willing to take control of District 14?" After some time, a figure in the darkness asked in a tired tone.

Sato stared at the flames in the bonfire and frowned; his gaze turned to the leader and said, "In the end, we will be consumed by the Twelve Monkeys group. What else is there to do? It's fine, isn't it? After all, good things may await us if we join them, and we could even set foot in another place."

"Hey, Sato, saying those words lightly, if someone else is listening, could get us into serious trouble. You know perfectly well that the old Monkey won't leave us alone for a while if he finds out about it.' One of those in the distance looked at Sato and reprimanded him."

"The old Monkey again! It's that old Monkey who came out of who knows where." Someone snorted with coldness.

"I'm sick of it. Are we going to let a bastard like him take absolute control?"

However, just at that moment, a bloody mist began to seep inside the building, and just as it began to be noticed, something was heard.

Boom!

In a short time, a loud noise was heard at the entrance of the building.

"Huh?"

"Do we have guests?"

The dismemberer named Kenneth, who was the leader, smiled ominously.

However, Sato felt a little uneasy when he heard the noise outside.

"Ah!"

A scream sounded, and Sayo's heart shivered.

Since this scream felt so familiar to her, it meant that the captain guarding the hard entrance had been defeated.

"Don't make noise!"

"Run and alert!"

A group of Ghouls entered where Kenneth, Sato, and the other Ghouls were. As a result, right after they left, a dark figure appeared behind them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The figure in black behind, with a crow mask, launched several crimson projectiles into the backs of some Ghouls who were running.

"Ahhh!"

Amidst the screams, the thick bloody mist spread, and blood droplets flew around the invading Ghoul.

"What is that?"

In an instant, a Ghoul being held by that figure exploded into a blood mist, and this happened in a matter of seconds.

"How did he do that?"

Seeing this scene, Kenneth's eyes went mad, and he glared angrily at that figure.

"This guy... killed them all." Sato also felt pressured by this massacre.

"It seems that the information was incorrect. In reality, there's a group of rogue Ghouls hidden in this place." Kenzo looked at Kenneth and Sato, assessing them behind his Crow mask.

"I'm going to kill you!"

In an instant, Sato moved towards Kenzo with clear intentions of tearing him apart.

But what no one expected was that a massacre would begin inside that building."
