Kanzaki Teru didn't seem to care about him, despite his arrogant demeanor.
"Tell me, have I ever damaged your flowers and plants since I arrived? Have I ever caused you any harm or attack?"
"On the contrary, you all wish you could arrest me and kill me."
Kanzaki Teru gave a smile that was hard to decipher.
It would have been better if he hadn't smiled. Now that he had, Wilhelmina seemed to have lost all confidence, and even started to break out in a cold sweat. His composure now was something he had forced out.
"You know perfectly well that if I wanted to take someone away, I wouldn't have time to sit here and talk to you."
"It's just a passing fad. The fact that I can talk to you about this now proves that you still have a purpose, and you should feel fortunate."
Kanzaki Teru stood up from the wicker chair and slowly approached, Wilhelmina trying to give him an even stronger sense of pressure.
"I'm here to discuss terms with you."
Chapter 137: Step One: Uniting the Yin-Yang Hall
Wilhelmina had many guesses about the mysterious person in front of her, but she didn't have anything certain to confirm what kind of ability this person had!
The only identity that Kanzaki Teru can currently reveal to others is his identity as the Azure Emperor.
Furthermore, Qingdi, you only know Kasumigaoka Uta, Isayama Yomi, and Touma Kazusa a little better.
He is now slowly beginning to step into the world, so these identities will definitely need to be revealed little by little.
Kanzaki Teru no longer wanted to hide anything; he was determined to get Wilhelmina.
Rather than just staying in the Yin-Yang Hall, they directly robbed Shana.
He hoped that the entire Onmyoji Hall could become a teammate who could help protect Shana.
Right now, Kanzaki Teru's mind is already racing with calculations.
He even felt that this method was more likely to succeed than his method of plunder and robbery.
"Wilmina? Is that right?"
Kanzaki Teru deliberately spoke the name of the woman opposite him with a hint of doubt.
He actually knew all along, after all, he had been keeping an eye on the Yin-Yang Hall and Setsuna's affairs from the very beginning.
Only now, at this most opportune moment, has he slowly begun to withdraw his attention.
Wilhelmina was clearly slightly shocked that Kanzaki Hikaru had mentioned his name directly.
Wilhelmina slowly raised her head, her shocked pupils not even having a chance to contract.
"It seems you've investigated us thoroughly, so I don't think this negotiation is fair."
Wilhelmina slowly suppressed her shock and fear, still trying her best not to be overwhelmed by the man in front of her.
But this was clearly futile; it was obvious to outsiders that the difference in their aura was simply too great.
Kanzaki Teru wasn't angry at his words. He raised an eyebrow and curled his lips in a playful smile.
"Okay, I admit you do have a point."
“But I haven’t been investigating you for as long as you think.”
"I just always knew that."
Kanzaki Teru took a few steps back.
"Now that I know who you are, for the sake of fairness you mentioned, let me introduce myself."
Kanzaki Teru gently closed his eyes, crossed his hands on his shoulders, and his whole body was slightly suspended in the air by ten centimeters.
The countless rays of light from all directions slowly enveloped him.
Slowly, a complex symbol formed on the top of his head.
"Qing...Qing Emperor!?"
Wilhelmina completely disregarded the imposing aura he had just created.
He looked startled, his fiery red lips parted in a daze.
He even staggered back a few steps.
It seems his previous guess was correct; the man in front of him possessed immense magical power.
No wonder these heavily guarded systems failed to detect it.
No wonder such a powerful attack couldn't hurt him in the slightest.
No wonder he has such a thorough understanding of his information.
It turned out that the man in front of him was none other than the Azure Emperor of the world!
Kanzaki Teru didn't see Wilhelmina start showing off like that.
This is just his most ordinary public persona.
Kanzaki Teru slowly retrieved the symbol and gently fell to the ground.
This is his unique way of introducing himself.
"I think it's fair now."
Kanzaki Teru completely ignored Wilhelmina's surprise at his identity.
Instead, he completely ignored everyone and blurted out all his thoughts.
He knew that if he continued to linger here, it would become increasingly difficult to break through.
We must conquer this place with the least amount of effort.
"I don't need to elaborate on what significance Shana holds for the world's rankings."
"Your Yin-Yang Hall ranks among the top on the entire list..."
You yourselves know your own position.
"When I said I was going to take Shana away, I didn't mean I was going to take Shana away from you."
“We clearly have a more win-win approach.”
Wilhelmina fell silent upon hearing this, and Kanzaki Teru also stopped talking at the appropriate moment.
He knew that a smart conversation had reached its limit; this was enough.
Wilhelmina fell into deep thought...
Kanzaki Teru's words just now hit him right where it hurt.
The reason they need Shana so much is because he has an extremely strong leadership ability over the (Zhao's Zhao) list.
This is the kind of talent the entire Yin-Yang Hall needs.
However, Kanzaki Teru had to remind him that if it wasn't the Azure Emperor who came to plunder today, then someone else would have done so.
However, Yin Yang Heaven is indeed not a particularly powerful organization.
All I can say is that they are able to be self-reliant.
Do they actually have the ability to protect Shana?
unknown.
At this moment, Kanzaki Teru spoke up again.
"If you can become disciples of the Azure Emperor, I think there's nothing for you to worry about, right?"
Kanzaki Teru has made his point very clear.
This was unprecedented and extremely generous treatment they received.
Chapter 138: Alastor's Puzzle
Wilhelmina had already envisioned various conditions for submitting to the Azure Emperor.
But to everyone's surprise, the Azure Emperor didn't even offer any conditions; he only needed their nod of approval.
Wilhelmina asked, puzzled, "You didn't bring any conditions?"
Kanzaki Teru sensed the doubt in Wilhelmina's words.
Laughed loudly.
"I already said I'm a guest, didn't I?"
Will852 and Emina still couldn't resolve their doubts, even though this condition was already sufficient, and they nodded directly.
However, being always cautious, he still had to continue negotiating.
"We were indeed the ones who offended you first, and I sincerely apologize to you."
"But your condition will indeed cause us great doubt and misunderstanding."
"Our 707 Yin-Yang Hall is not the longest organization in the universe. What merit do we have to be able to be affiliated with the Azure Emperor simply by nodding our heads?"
Kanzaki Teru listened to what Wilhelmina said and felt quite gratified.
This proves that he didn't choose the wrong person. Wilhelmina has a very clear mind, a strong sense of self, and no ambitions that exceed her own capabilities.
This is exactly what Kanzaki Teru needs to find.
"I've said it before, my target isn't your Onmyodo, but Shana inside the Onmyodo."
"To put it more clearly, it's because your Yin-Yang Hall has Shana, and I desperately need her to influence the rankings, that I'm willing to make it a condition for your Yin-Yang Hall to be affiliated with my Azure Emperor."
"I think my explanation should be clear enough."
Wilhelmina believed the man's words wholeheartedly.
After all, they all knew what Shana's abilities were, which was why they went through so much trouble to protect her.
They hadn't expected the accident to happen so quickly.
It can't be called an accident; being able to encounter the Azure Emperor first was a good thing for them.
Wilhelmina: "I need some time to negotiate, is that alright with you?"
Wilhelmina had no more doubts, after all, every word the man in front of her spoke was without a single lie.
Now he needs to go and discuss this matter in detail with Alastair.
