I really can't control myself.

Chapter 4112 Zongyang
"This is our team's only female member, Ms. Shirahe..." During the live broadcast, Takaoka Yūnori was indeed introducing the team members one by one.

Yes, now they are all considered members of Yatagarasu. After all, it's more appropriate to do this under the name of Yatagarasu in the current situation, and they don't want to be wanted by the Otherworldly Department.

The group had already decided on codenames beforehand, all of which were related to birds, since the current leader of the organization was called Yatagarasu. For example, Shimizu Mai's codename was White Heron, and Shimizu Ritsu's codename was Pine Eagle...

As for why we arranged for each person's identity to be introduced, it's obviously for emotional energy.

If you don't introduce the people doing this, how are the viewers supposed to know who to direct their emotional energy at? Yes, they could easily stay completely hidden from view, but what's the point of kidnapping hostages then? They're not really there to kidnap anyone; they're there to become famous.

Of course, it was just an appearance, not a real face reveal. Everyone was wearing military helmets with huge built-in goggles, barely enough to show half their nose and mouth; nothing else was visible. This is what made the audience quite dissatisfied.

"Hey, what kind of introduction are you giving? We can't see anything at all. Tell the lady to take off her helmet so we can see her face."

"Yes, judging by her figure, she's definitely a beauty. But let's see her face."

The audience didn't care whether Miss White Heron was a member of the Phantom Thieves; they were just curious to see how good-looking she was. As for the other members, well, they were all men, so they weren't particularly interested.

Despite the audience's enthusiastic requests, Takaoka Yūnori continued with his own process, unaffected by the crowd.

"As you can see, today our Yatagarasu team is bringing you a magnificent performance. Our goal, as the title says, is to steal a messenger, a messenger from the demon realm. This one is someone you all are familiar with, the young patriarch of the Inugami family, Muneyo."

The camera then turned to Zong Yang, but this time Zong Yang's expression was not very good.

Indeed, ever since he found out when this thing actually came to be, Zong Yang's mood has been quite terrible.

He didn't know what live streaming was before, but Takaoka Yūnori had just explained it to him.

He wasn't concerned about today's live broadcast; as a "hostage," he wasn't really worried about his own safety.

That's right. Even though he was surrounded by the human team in front of him, and even though they were thousands of meters in the air, Zong Yang didn't feel that he was in any danger at all.

These things were nothing to him, a great demon.

Zong Yang is quite powerful; after all, he is the young patriarch of the Inugami clan. Given the environment of the demon realm, do you really think someone without strength can hold the position of patriarch? If he truly lacks strength, even as the eldest son, he has no chance of inheriting the position.

Because other demons wouldn't agree to that; a weak clan leader would only attract the covetous eyes of other demons and bring disaster upon the clan.

So don't be fooled by Zong Yang's dog-like behavior in front of Linton; that's Linton. Try it on someone else and see who acts like a dog.

He was in a bad mood because he now knew what the person who had been following Linton all along was doing.

Zong Yang only now realized that his previous behavior had been witnessed by the entire human realm. According to Takaoka Yuzuru, most of the Japanese population now knew him; he was almost as famous as Linton. Seriously? This was outrageous! He recalled his behavior back then, and now, thinking about it, he felt like he wanted to die.

Yes, he was quite... well, you could say he was happy to be Linton's dog back then. But the problem is, that was in private.

Of course you might say that people in the demon realm all know this, but that's because Zong Yang is quite clear that those guys in the demon realm will eventually end up like him, becoming Linton's dogs sooner or later, or they'll just die.

We're all Linton's dogs, what's there to be ashamed of?

But now he realized that wasn't the case. He hadn't expected that people in the human realm were watching this live stream. Wouldn't that mean...?

If Zong Yang knew slang, he might know the term "socially dead," which perfectly describes his current situation. Because he truly feels incredibly socially dead right now.

He really seems to have this "whatever" attitude, like "I might as well just die" vibe right now.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come to the mortal realm at all. After all, although the facts can't be changed, at least he wouldn't have known about this if he hadn't come. But now, it feels like it's too late to say anything.

And he couldn't think of a solution to this problem either. So who do you think he should settle accounts with? Linton? Where would he get the guts to go and settle accounts with Linton? Linton hasn't been to the demon realm in a long time. If he saw Linton, he'd probably tremble on the spot.

After thinking for a moment, Zong Yang could only look at Takaoka Yusuke's camera and wave his hand: "Fellow humans... Hello, I am Zong Yang of the Inugami clan. Today, I have come to your human world as an envoy of the demon world for talks."

That's right, Zongyang was also at a loss, but Takaoka Yūnen did give him an idea.

Takaoka Yusuke's idea was quite simple: to salvage his image a little.

Zong Yang didn't know how Takaoka Yuzuru knew his needs, but the other party explained it quite accurately, as if he knew how to convince him from the beginning.

This man was really strange, and he even mentioned Linton's name, saying that he was actually Linton's subordinate, but this incident was not arranged by Linton.

According to Takaoka Yūnori, he's currently the only one who can help Zongyang with this, since he's live-streaming and a large number of humans are watching. As for the Other Side, they can't help Zongyang at all; they haven't even announced the talks, and it's impossible for you to reach any agreement at this point. And until an agreement is reached, the Other Side won't announce anything.

And that was indeed the case, because Zong Yang's visit this time wasn't to reach any agreement with the Otherworldly Department. He simply wanted to see what the situation was like in the human realm, and also to discuss some current matters in the demon realm with Lin Dun.

What kind of alien faction is this? Zong Yang himself doesn't even consider them human. To put it simply, for these great demons, if you want them to treat you like a human, you first have to subdue them by beating them into submission, just like Linton did, or in other words, you have to flex your muscles.

"You're just making empty promises about cooperation? Do you even have the right to do that?" Zong Yang genuinely didn't take this meeting seriously.

However, the few humans in front of him, although they did not directly fight him, have done things that have made Zong Yang look at them in a different light.
