Zongman: Starting from the Chaos Orb

Irisviel, who was already somewhat bewildered by the other party's rude behavior, was even more stunned when she heard these words.

Although her beautiful and delicate face, like a doll, remained calm, and her ruby-red pupils did not change at all, Dongfang Zang was still keenly aware of her slight emotional fluctuations.

Joy, helplessness, worry...

Those beautiful eyes glanced at Dongfang Zang timidly, and then turned their gaze to Ahad, her head of the family and her nominal grandfather, who was still facing away from them.

Although this beautiful man seemed a bit overbearing, she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted by his statement that seemed like a declaration of sovereignty, but this also made her feel a little helpless and worried.

She knew who she was, what she had to do, and what she had to pay. She had no way of responding and was even afraid that the gentleman's remarks would anger her grandfather.

As she looked over, the head of the Einzbern family was finally able to move at this moment. He turned around with a blank expression, and then, in the girl's surprised eyes, her grandfather saluted the gentleman who expressed his love to her.

All his actions revealed humility and respect.

"As you wish, my lord."

Such remarks made Irisviel involuntarily cover her red lips with her small hands, in order to hide her awkwardness as her mouth was slightly opened due to surprise.

However, Dongfang Zang did not make any comment on Ahad's behavior, as if all this was within his expectations.

He simply took Irisviel's little hand gently, the movement was gentle and natural, and then walked out of the workshop.

Seeing this, Ahad followed silently like a loyal servant, not daring to slack off in the slightest. The whole scene seemed a little weird.

Although the scene where the opponent was furious and refused to obey was omitted, Dongfang Zang then used various powerful means to suppress him and demonstrate his super strength.

It was just like the 'Dragon King' plot in those clichéd stories, but Dongfang Zang himself was very satisfied with it.

There is no need to make things too complicated if they can be solved by simple brainwashing to save trouble.

......

In the ancient and solemn Einzbern family castle, many people have gathered in the banquet hall.

No fewer than twenty android maids were moving back and forth nimbly, their faces expressionless as they mechanically placed one piece of already cold exquisite food after another.

The food looked beautifully presented, and each one seemed like a work of art. From the delicate pastries to the carefully prepared dishes, all of them displayed the family's luxury and style. However, they lacked the steaming heat that should have been right out of the oven, making them seem a little lacking in the flavor of home.

Everyone waited silently, and the entire banquet hall was shrouded in a slightly depressing silence.

The last to appear are Dongfang Zang and Irisviel. Stepping in here is like entering a luxurious dream of the old times.

On the towering dome are exquisite religious and mythological murals. Although the colors are slightly mottled due to time, they add to the weight and mystery of history.

Everyone looked at the young man and woman in silence. Everyone looked at Dongfang Zang and her female companion with a little amazement and curiosity, especially Alice. She had a special meaning to this ancient family.

The prototype of the Winter Saint...

But the place was still quiet and solemn. All the visitors were magicians from the Einzbern family. The only two exceptions were Kiritsugu Emiya and Maiya Hisau, who were wearing black slim-fitting suits.

Emiya Kiritsugu stood tall and straight, with a stern face and eyes that showed indifference and coldness, as if nothing in the world could touch his heart.

And Hisau Maiya stood quietly beside him, always on guard, like a sharp sword ready to be unsheathed at any time.

As the mysterious man appeared beside Irisviel, everyone's eyes glanced in their direction vaguely, their attitudes seemed a little cold, and there was even a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.

But intimidated by the host's serious expression, no one dared to act rashly, even though they didn't know who this distinguished guest was.

This bizarre scene made the two misfits frown. Apparently, there were unpredictable twists in their collaboration with the Einzbern family to obtain the Holy Grail.

But the two did not dare to act rashly. Neither of them was a fool. To do anything beyond the limits under the watchful eyes of dozens of Einzbern magicians would be courting death.

Especially at a banquet like this, you pop out and act like the Dragon King?

Do you think the Einzbern family, which has maintained its status as the top magic family in this world for two thousand years, is made of dough?

All of this made Kiritsugu Emiya's heart sink to the bottom, but there was nothing he could do about it. It all happened too quickly. Ahad, who had always respected him, now didn't even look at him.

And he couldn't even overturn the table. He was a magician himself. The Emiya family had been exploring magic related to time manipulation for generations, and the results were accumulated in the magic seal on Kiritsugu's back.

However, this kind of magic consumes a huge amount of magical power, and the preparations and rituals beforehand are very complicated. It is a technique designed with the performance of great magic as the premise.

Again, the magician is extremely lacking in powerful quick-attack methods, otherwise he wouldn't be able to play with guns.

As the banquet officially began, all the magicians, under the stern gaze of the head of the household, followed the ancient magician etiquette and stepped forward one by one to salute and greet Dongfang Zang.

This made Dongfang Zang feel like a godfather, but the meal was just so-so.

After all, how delicious can the banquet food be? It’s not hot, not spicy, not sour, not too sweet, and even the meat seems to have no salt.

After all, it is a high-end banquet, and any food that may make the guests lose their composure will not appear on the table.

Finally, this somewhat dull banquet came to an end.

All the magicians left the banquet hall in an orderly manner under the guidance of the android maids.

Emiya Kiritsugu and his assistant Hisau Maiya were obviously left at the end, which was obviously Ahad's intention.

He knew that Ahad must have something to say to him, and it probably wasn't good news.

This was in line with his wishes. With only a few people left in the banquet hall, Ahad walked up to Kiritsugu Emiya with his chest held high. His broad back was obviously more oppressive than the magician killer who was only 1.75 meters tall.

In fact, Ahad did appear a bit arrogant.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, our cooperation has been cancelled. All deposits belong to you. Please leave the Einzbern family as soon as possible."
