Going Back

He spent most of his time during the flight reading various reports that talked about the situation in Tokyo. These things were specially prepared for Lucien and were delivered here often.

He was somewhat satisfied with the situation in Tokyo, as everything was going according to plan. The Aogiri Tree entered the final phase of preparations for the 11th Ward Battle and Cochlea Raid.

All weapons, ammunition, and other things were also supplied to the Aogiri Tree. Of course, there were things like blood essences and also some support regarding manpower as Lucien also ordered to hire of some ghoul mercenaries. Still, only strong ones, such as the Commission of Counter Ghoul, had a slight advantage over strong people that participated in the 11th Ward Battle.

Next, he sent a message to Blood Island informing them about everything that happened. He also mentioned that he found three Blood-Essence Extractors, various weapons and blood essences, many books, and martial arts.

Next, he mentioned some things about the Royal Blood Crystal and his fight with the Grand Elder Washuu Tsunekashi, but for now, he decided to omit everything about the Heart of the Ghoul King.

Soon after the message was sent, he even received a reply, saying that his father would arrive in Tokyo, take the Blood-Essence Extractors, and discuss things about theRoyal Blood Crystal. He was happy to see his father after a long time, and he also learned that Patriarch Asmodeus would arrive soon, as he was already on his way to Tokyo.

He would arrive in a more secret way, as they didn't want to alert the Washuu Clan. Hearing that the Washuu Clan had something as strong as pinnacle 5th Star, Kakuja V2, it was decided they must be more careful.

***

After a few hours, Lucien finally arrived in Tokyo. There was already a small convoy waiting for him, as now there was an ideal time for the Washuu Clan to ambush him, as he was carrying many precious things on him as the Royal Blood Crystal and many other martial arts and books.

Lucien went to the Helter Skelter Bar to see Itori. They were apart for two months, which could be said to be a long time. Soon enough, he arrived at the Helter Skelter Bar and entered the bar. It was empty as it was most time. Not many people visited this place.

When Itori saw Lucien, she immediately ran to him and hugged him with all her strength. Lucien hugged her back and kissed her lips. She was surprised at first, but soon she passionately returned his kiss, and they entered the long season of kissing, and almost both of them couldn't resist their lust, but then Lucien stopped as this wasn't the appropriate time to do the deed.

"I missed you very much, my love, my Itori."

Whispered Lucien to her ear; with a gentle voice, he was still hugging her closely. She had almost tears at the corner of her eyes when she heard his word of love and devotion.

"I missed you too, dear. I love you, and please don't leave me behind next time."

Said Itori, as she also missed Lucien very much and she wanted to help him, but she knew that with her strength, it would be impossible to fight against the Washuu Clan as they were many times stronger than her.

Even though she ate many blood essences that Lucien gave her and even trained in the simplified version of the Rinkaku Martial Arts, it didn't help, and she couldn't attain the strength to rival the pinnacle 5th Star, and Pinnacle 5th Star was above SS-Rate Ghoul.

At best, she could be able to fight and kill most of the Special-Class Ghoul Investigators with her improved strength.

"Don't worry; I won't be leaving soon."

Smiled Lucien as he gently stroked her hair and they both sat down and Lucien started talking about his adventure in the Kunlun Mountains. He talked about his fights with the Washuu Clan, Vasuki, and others.

Then he described the Ancestral Site and the Ancestral Shrine of the Shi Xue Clan and the many rewards he obtained.

"Ohh, and something bad also happened."

Itori was surprised that his face turned so serious.

Lucien was serious now because of one thing. His father would visit here, and of course, he won't approve either of his relationships, as she wasn't Nobility, but he was already prepared for this as he had the Royal Blood Crystal in his hands and by the rules of the Aeon House, it was his, cause he was the one who obtained the treasure.

"Soon, my father would arrive in Tokyo because of things from the Shi Xue Clan. He would personally bring them to the Aeon House. But this also means that he would meet you and also meet Eto. With how his personality is, he would disapprove of our relationship."

Lucien told Itori about Eto a long time ago, and she couldn't refuse him. She was angry at him, but he promised he would have only two and them and even swore an oath to the heavens.

Lucien knew that if his mother came, there could be some room for discussion, but his father was different. She was aware that his father would disapprove, and nobody knew what would happen because hearing this made her very nervous.
