The Cursed Bloodline
Dejection..

In a special room belonging to Itasuke, which is located in Zuryu's Casino. A Penthouse, with magnificent space and luxurious facilities.

Combining elements of ancient Japanese buildings, as well as some weapon decorations made of copper or gold neatly arranged in every corner of the room

The 4th floor is probably the highest gambling floor in that Casino. But especially for the residence Itasuke, exclusively the 5th floor of the building was transformed into a luxurious residence of the boss of weapons. Of course Tengu as the owner does not know the sola, however Zuryu who monopolizes their assets

"Often I come here, I just found out this building has a penthouse" said Zou with a lazy look, although Zuryu standing next to him were certainly words aimed at the rogue man

"I also need to provide a lot of money for Tengu. Even for one Buraku no ken sword belonging to Master Xio, I would have to spend money equivalent to the price of 25 gold mines.

So I did all this, to support Tengu, Mr. Zou" Zuryu defended himself

In fact managing large assets is not as easy as it might seem. Moreover, it's the assets of the fugitives Tengu class

"Solar.... I don't care" Zou replied, his hazel-brown eyes were now on the red-haired girl sitting in front of him

Yuri looked annoyed, her gaze now fixed on the document in front of her, while her hand was busy tapping the table slowly with her fingers

"When did he come? If Xio wants to get this document, he has to get it here himself" Yuri said firmly

"Only you girls who dare to rule Xio come as they please.

Even the cold Yuki, never did that. I admit that you are indeed a great Yuri" said Zou sarcas

Yuri was still upset with Xio, however the Tengu Leader's words had already hurt her feelings. Even when he sincerely wanted to be friends with Xio, it was precisely the harsh word that came out of his mouth

For that, Yuri planned to take revenge and make Xio difficult by refusing to bring Red Cops documents to him, but instead had the Leader directly to take them

"If he considers this document valuable, he should come alone to retrieve it" Yuri said with a vengeful look

"Well... Truly a petty woman....

Tumben you're following someone's words, Nee?" Zou wondered why his partner did nothing and just sat quietly beside him

"I've tried to threaten her to return to headquarters, but the strange girl is completely unaffected" said Nee flatly

Even that creepy Nee didn't scare Yuri.

Kreeett... The taggggg...

The door opened, revealing a black-haired male figure as well as cold dark eyes. Xio casually walked towards where Yuri et al

The presence of the Tengu Leader, making the atmosphere of the room that was once ordinary now turned gripping.

"You came Leder." said Nee to welcome Xio.

" so.... What about the documents? " xio said in a flat tone, his black iris looking coldly at Yuri who was sitting in front of him. It was obvious the question was directed at the teary-eyed girl

Yuri only smiled wryly, he even cursed himself hoping that Xio would admit a little of his hard work

However, he had risked himself to get the document, but the man standing in front of him easily asked to submit the document without even asking anything else, or just appreciating the contribution Yuri made

"This." said Yuri Ketus, he only showed the envelope of cokalat in front of him.

" Hn" was all that came out of Xio's mouth.

He was about to retrieve the documents in front of Yuri, but Yuri's hand quickly blocked him

"Then? What did I get? Doesn't this mission only apply to Tengu members?

At least give me the reward that is worth it" Yuri said as she stared intently at Xio

"Let me stay here, I don't want to stay in Tengu castle anymore" he continued, turning his face away

"How can I just let the pillar stone go, at least after I take the stone from your body, you should be under my supervision"

Hearing Xio's reply, Yuri could only smile wryly. The man, really thought of it as an object instead of a human being

"I can protect myself......

I'm just a thing to you anyway, aren't Oro-ryu with you? He'll know if I'm in danger, you forgot half of him was in me? ..... So let me stay here" Yuri said

Xio just fell silent, he was thinking about Yuri's request.

However, it is very risky if Yuri is out of his control, especially for a large force such as the three-pillar stone that is targeted by many enemies

"Alright" Xio said briefly, he immediately took the documents in Yuri's hands without caring about the girl

Yuri took off the documents in her hands just like that. Although her request was granted, there was a hint of disappointment within Yuri.

Although it was a little, he hoped that Xio would not let him leave just like that. But, in fact, Xio released it so easily. Yuri considers that he is right is nothing in Xio's eyes

"Well...... It is free to hope for more.

The oro-ryu? You heard me, right? From now on I will stay here.....

You are a traitorous snake, " said Yuri annoyed, he knew his friend was hiding behind Xio's cloak.

" I know you're not a little boy anymore Yuri! Now you can make your own decisions..... I will support you, whatever it is, " said Oro-ryu without coming out of Xio's pocket.

" yeah.... Are you sure you didn't set your form? You really are a traitor!!!!!! Oro-ryu.....! " said Yuri annoyed

Wuuuuu

Yuri tries to regulate her breathing, she tries to control the annoyance that Xio and Oro-ryu are making. He also returned calm

" And there's someone who wants to meet you, Xio.

I gave my first gift as well as my thanks for helping me out of that damp cave.

It might just be my last gift. " said Yuri with a soft look with a smile.

" come in. ".

The silhouette of the yellow-haired man entering the room, his sea-blue eyes were now staring at the people who were in front of him.

The man was Itasuke, who was none other than the owner of the room they occupied

" I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Xio.

I'm here to give you something valuable....

Can we talk 4 points? " itasuke said politely to Xio

Although a little suspicious, Xio agreed to Itasuke's request, other than himself the people in the room left.

" What do you want to say, if it's not wrong, aren't you the owner of this floor? " xio said politely, but did not leave a cold impression in every speech

" I'm here to give you the latest information on Red Cops, isn't that what you want?

Other than what's written on the document, there are some new things I've learned about the organization" Itasuke said with a serious face

Xio thinks Itasuke is very suspicious, however he is just a stranger who suddenly wants to give him information. Even Xio didn't know Itasuke's true intentions and purpose

"How can I trust you? "

Itasuke simply smiled " Isn't the enemy of your enemy, your friend?

I recently learned of the fact that Mr. Tanuki was the cause of my parents' death. So I had to live life in an orphanage without knowing the affection of my parents

And also.... Do you know..... I'm also part of the Red Cops organization itself" Itasuke said

He also showed his finger, there is a symbol of Tanuki's curse contract in the form of a circle of black lines on his finger. The same symbol as Ten's lover, Yume

"I was one of the Red Cops' secret spies. My name is not even listed on the Sora troop list

Mr. Tanuki, adopt me and serve me under the care of Red Cops. My mission is to become a famous merchant and build relationships within the military government of Sora and even other countries

He made me a spy for the Sora government

So then... Isn't my information accurate enough? " say itasuke

It's only fitting that Itasuke has been very good at controlling emotions. Training under the auspices of Red Cops made him lose all his life

Itasuke now gives her identity bracelet. That made Xio a little interested, wasn't that the bracelet that he got as a clue?

"If you're looking for an infiltrating spy, just find a bracelet with roman numerals like this

This is our identity, and to search for the whereabouts of the Red Cops headquarters, you will face super strict guardianship. So accurate information is required

I'll just give you the Red Cops lab coordinates as well as the headquarters blueprints.... Accept it" Itasuke gives a piece of paper, containing a map of a basement building

Xio received the paper, it was true that the information on the location of the headquarters was clearly listed there.

"And finally, according to my investigation, Mr. Tanuki is developing a magic experiment.

He instilled a power from one of the descendants of the Three Pillars, otherwise he called it the 'special blood' of the extinct Snow Clan

I don't know what that means, but it's clear through the experiment that Mr. Tanuki made 3 of his men have extraordinary magic abilities"

Xio still did not trust Itasuke, even though the information was so plausible.

The past few days he had also investigated cases referring to Red Cops, and it was true that the source of the chaos was not made by any random person. Could those people be what Itasuke meant?

"Then... Why did you divulge the secrets of your organization? "

" Red Cops probably didn't know I was stirring about them this much. To them I was just an outsider, in charge of informing

I heard they were disbanded, so the surveillance on me might be gone. I also felt the magic power binding me getting weaker

And one more thing, I want Yuri not to know about this" Itasuke said, leaving the room

"Ah... Is correct.... Reason....

The reason I gave you all this information, was none other than because Yuri valued you so much, Mr. Xio

I could see from the look in his eyes, he was so weak when he saw you. But beyond that, she really is an amazing girl

Although I only knew him, I could see his life as I did.....

For that, I want to protect him.... Even with my weak strength.....

Therefore, just consider all the information from me, as payment because you have helped him......

Anyhow.....

Yuri, now a precious person for me" said Itasuke,

A sincere smile was seen from his face, indicating that his words were indeed true

Xio could only be speechless, for some reason his mood was so bad at the moment.

"Is that so? Go ahead, I just need something embedded in his body..... Not more"

That was the only word spoken from Xio's lips, albeit in a slightly irritated tone. According to him, the fact that Yuri was out of his control was what upset him

Xio led Itasuke out of the room

Kreeet.......

The door opened, Xio saw Yuri standing in front of the door, regardless of the red-haired girl, Xio walked past Yuri just like that

Yuri looked at Xio with a bad look, he then entered Itasuke's room without paying attention to Xio

While Xio, just walking while glancing backward through the tail of his eyes. His dark eyes were no longer empty, but were filled with a glare of vexation
