The Silver King frowned upon hearing this.

"Is there anything urgent?"

The interruption of an important meeting makes it seem like Japanese officials lack professionalism.

He soon found out the reason.

Seri Awashima led in Santo Kazumi Taneda, the head of the Special Abilities Division.

Sensing the tense atmosphere in the meeting room, Taneda Santouka was well aware of it.

He leaned close to the Silver King's ear and whispered something.

Before he could finish listening, the Silver King nearly fell to the ground.

He stared at the fire on the mountain in disbelief, utterly shocked.

Simply put, his expression was:

Holy crap, how dare you guys do that?!

Noticing something amiss, Tolstoy, with his keen sensitivity to emotions, tentatively spoke:

"What's wrong? Is the book in Japan?"

“…That’s right.” The Silver King thought for a moment, then nodded, feigning composure, and said frankly.

Actually, I was extremely panicked.

It's not that the Silver King wasn't steady enough.

It's because the matter is too important!

The most unbelievable thing is—

The three cornerstones of the world are now all in Japan!

What are other countries supposed to think?

Could it be that Japan harbors some kind of ambition?

Will they use this as an excuse to attack Japan?

Could they gain more benefits from this?

You know, Yokohama was originally designated a concession because it angered a major power, and now it's become a no-man's-land. If it happened again, one concession wouldn't be enough...

The Silver King had thought a lot in a short period of time.

But he absolutely dared not and could not hide it.

"The book... is in our Special Abilities Department."

Swish-!

Everyone looked up at the head of the Special Abilities Division, whose head was so shiny it reflected light.

Who would have thought this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would dare to hoard books!

It seems even the Silver King himself doesn't know about the Special Abilities Department? He's clearly got ulterior motives.

Some people secretly scoffed at the situation.

Some people made no attempt to hide their mockery.

Daudet laughed and said, "Well done, at least we don't need to search around anymore."

"Alright, stop with the sarcasm. You've done something good, at least."

Tolstoy had the air of a patriarch.

He pondered, "How can we ensure the book isn't used?"

To hand it over to one of the countries?

This doesn't work.

To use a story from the Xia Dynasty as an example, how could they not guarantee that the country wouldn't "hold the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords"?

To use a book to command other countries?

Or should we continue to entrust it to the Special Abilities Division for safekeeping?

This is even worse!

The person who brought this up was glared at fiercely.

The reason why the Special Abilities Division was able to keep them safe in the past was because they were well kept secret and few people knew about them.

Not anymore.

Moreover, what qualifications does a mere Japanese Special Ability Department have? It's not even the strongest organization in Japan for dealing with people with special abilities.

After much discussion, no one could come up with a solution.

The Book, a special rule item that is powerful and can be used by anyone, cannot be owned by an individual!

"Why don't we seek Mr. Bai Ze's opinion? Such a being would not stoop to confining his vision to the foundation of a single world."

Harper's Ballad

The young Transcendent from Not Too Ugly Country lacks the arrogance of other Transcendents; he is peaceful and approachable.

Her suggestion was quickly endorsed by everyone.

......

When the official representatives went to Bai Ze's residence again, a certain transcendent also received accurate information.

"Verlaine? Are there two gravity-based ability users?"

After a period of investigation, Balzac finally confirmed the information from the House of the Dead, and stared angrily at the five buildings.

That's the direction the Port Mafia is heading.

To understand their conflict, we have to go back more than ten years.

Upon learning that Japan had secretly developed superhuman weapons comparable to those of the Transcendent, the Romantic Kingdom dispatched the Transcendent duo, Rimbaud and Verlaine, to retrieve them.

... ...... ...

But a month later, instead of news of the mission's completion, they received news of Rimbaud's death.

Verlaine did not provide details about the mission, and he later defected from the Romantic Society, becoming an internationally renowned assassin.

The fact that these events happened one after the other makes it obvious that something fishy was going on.

But what exactly is the Romance Club?

It is the largest superpower organization in the superpower superpower nation of Romantic Country, and its president can even bypass the country's government to conduct international exchanges!

What is a neon-lit place?

A small, rural country!

The Far East!

Nobody in the Romantic Society even looks down on Japan!

Too lazy to send someone to investigate in detail, they just gave it a cursory look.

This is the first grudge.

The second enemy was Gide.

Andrei 鳨?薧匤?躤?懥?喣

As a person with supernatural abilities, he had excellent relationships with Balzac, Hugo, Flaubert, Baudelaire, and others.

Because he was betrayed by his superiors during the war, he was driven out of the Romantic Kingdom and founded the mercenary organization Mimic.

Even so, it did not affect Gide's relationship with the members of the Romantic Society.

But after being lured to Japan, all the mimics suddenly died!

—Another feud!

Now that he had received confirmation, Balzac rolled his eyes:

"Port Mafia, do you have a grudge against our Romance Society? You're just targeting us!"

He was making sarcastic remarks, but the fierce glint in Balzac's eyes showed that he was not joking.

Flipping through the documents in his hand, Balzac made a phone call.

He nodded after receiving permission and put the documents away.

"As expected of the Siberian rats, the intelligence is accurate, we can proceed."

Before that, he glanced at the black-haired youth beside him.

Shelley, can you manage on your own?

"Don't worry! At least we can hold off Verlaine."

All he wanted to do was target Verlaine.

The difference between strong individuals of the same level is not significant, especially since he possesses purification-type abilities, while Verlaine has gravity-type abilities, allowing him to eliminate the effects of gravity on himself.
