After Wang Chong's deal with the Ryougi family, he received a series of system notifications. He had successfully tricked the Ryougi family head and gained something for nothing, earning 500 Villain Points and a fragment of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception skill card. He also successfully "abducted" Shiki Ryougi, a Daughter of Destiny, which earned him another 500 Villain Points and a random active skill card.
With a current total of 2750 Villain Points, Wang Chong casually took some decent items and funds from the Ryougi family before leaving. The young Shiki Ryougi was also taken away, packaged with the other items. The poor girl was now traveling with him.
The entire process went even more smoothly than Wang Chong had anticipated. His original plan was to use a compromise to prevent the Ryougi family from going back on their word and to trick Shiki Ryougi into his care. He didn't care about any other items from the family; he was only interested in Shiki Ryougi herself.
Was the Ryougi family's long-cherished wish truly capable of driving its members to such madness? he wondered.
"If you're not happy following along, why don't you go back?" Wang Chong asked, looking at the little girl's pouting face.
"Go back? Why should I? My stupid father sold me. What's the point of going back?" Shiki Ryougi replied irritably.
"Oh... Aren't you unhappy about going with us?" Wang Chong asked.
"I'm just angry that my father sold me, not angry about going with you. I'm quite interested in you. The black mist you conjured is very interesting," she said coolly.
"Is my black mist interesting?" he asked.
"Interesting."
"Want to learn?"
"Yes! You'll teach me?"
"Can't. It's innate."
"Boring."
The conversation was simple, but it showed that Shiki Ryougi had her own personality. Her gloominess and quietness were just her indifference to things she wasn't interested in.
Being interested in his black mist—was that her own intention, or was it [that one]? Wang Chong narrowed his eyes, glancing at Shiki Ryougi, who had returned to her silent demeanor. He didn't dwell on it. Now that he had her, he just needed to build a good relationship to avoid any major issues in this world.
"What do you think, Ms. Aozaki? I told you today would be very fruitful for you, didn't I?" Wang Chong turned his attention to Aozaki Touko, who had been silent throughout the conversation. He couldn't figure out why she was so quiet; his display of power should have piqued her interest.
"Mr. Wang Chong's ability truly opened my eyes. It is indeed more valuable than those magical materials," Aozaki Touko replied with a faint smile. "Then, Mr. Wang Chong, what is the second matter you mentioned?"
"The second matter... Hmm, we're here," he said, looking up at the name of the house: "Asagami."
Soon, Wang Chong emerged from the house, carrying an unconscious purple-haired loli in a princess carry. Sakura Matou, also with purple hair, instinctively lifted her head to examine the other girl's face.
"What is this?" Aozaki Touko asked, sensing the familiar power he had used.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not bloodthirsty, though I did give a small punishment," Wang Chong said, looking at the girl in his arms. "I'm sure with your eyesight, you can see how bad this girl's body is, what kind of treatment she's received, and the talent she possesses."
Aozaki Touko subconsciously reached for a cigarette, but seeing the three children present, she put it away with a sigh of annoyance. "So, the second matter is that you want me to cure this little one's illness and teach her how to use her power correctly, is that right?"
"Your Garan no Dou is pretty busy, so don't you need a helper?" he said.
"Are you trying to find me a daughter now? Why don't you take her yourself? You've already got two, one more wouldn't hurt, would it?" she retorted.
"It's not suitable. I can't teach her anything. And as you said, I already have two children, so I really can't spare the energy for a third," Wang Chong said with a shrug. "Accept her. She not only has Mystic Eyes but is also the only bloodline of the Asagami family. She was adopted into the Asagami branch family through her mother."
"Fine, training her would be good. So, what do you plan to offer in exchange?" Aozaki Touko asked.
"Huh? Haven't I given you a disciple for free?"
"You..." She had seen shameless people before, but never one so shameless. He was trying to get something for nothing. Although she was very interested in Wang Chong and wanted to befriend him, some of his words made it hard for her to hold back.
"Alright, don't be angry. Let's go back to your workshop first. The condition I'm offering for this is a very interesting piece of information. It's not suitable to speak too much about it here," Wang Chong said.
He then received another system notification: "You have changed Asagami Fujino's fate! Reward: 200 Villain Points. Current Villain Points: 3000."
Hmm, the points are much less than Shiki Ryougi's. One is a complete change, while the other is just an influence. Is this the difference between a protagonist and a supporting character? Wang Chong mused.
Back at Garan no Dou, Aozaki Touko gave Asagami Fujino some simple first aid and put her in a bedroom to rest. Afterwards, she walked out to Wang Chong and asked, "Tell me, what kind of information is it?"
"Sakura, Little Ryougi Shiki, you two go into the room and wait. Keep an eye on that little sister and see when she wakes up," Wang Chong said. He didn't explain directly but first sent the two girls into the bedroom.
"Oh, okay. Ryougi sister, let's go in." Sakura Matou was well-behaved and sensible. She knew Wang Chong didn't want them to hear the conversation, so she pulled Shiki Ryougi into the room and closed the door.
"This child of yours is quite good," Aozaki Touko said, glancing at her bedroom.
"Yes. Now, back to the main topic. Ms. Aozaki Touko, have you heard of... Araya Souren?" Wang Chong crossed his hands and rested his chin on them, observing her with interest.
"Araya Souren..." Aozaki Touko was surprised. Not only had she heard of him, but she was quite familiar with him. During her time at the Clock Tower, they had become acquainted and were, in a sense, classmates. However, she also knew his personality: incredibly dull, often with a troubled expression. A few months ago, he had visited her, asking her to design an apartment for making a barrier, supposedly to achieve his ideals and ambitions. She believed it was an impossible task. After that, he became busy and they lost contact.
"From what you're implying, this information is related to him?" Aozaki Touko said slowly.
"Yes. I heard he once came to you and asked you to specially design an apartment for him, then dedicated himself to his great work of opening the Root. However, it's a pity that he failed," Wang Chong said with a smile.
