"Now, let's talk about the next thing. Besides targeting the nine-tailed fox youkai, they are targeting something more troublesome. They wanted to summon Great Red using the power of leyline in Kyoto."

The youkai became restless when they heard the name of Great Red, one of the Dragon God that reside in Dimensional Gap.

Even I will admit, trying to fight that thing is suicide. With my strength right now, I will be killed with just his slap. That's if I can't run from him, and I am confident in running away without getting caught.

Hagoromo Gitsune also knew about the two Dragon Gods. I glanced at her and saw her glaring at me. She looked like she was about to kill me, and I realized that I told my old man that I will protect Hagoromo Gitsune right in front of her.

She must've thought of me as someone who never listened to the other, not that I mind about that stigma.

"Commander, is your information true? If you just wanted to prank us, then it was not funny." Said one of the youkai.

"Yeah, commander! If you wanted to scare us with Great Red, then it's not funny anymore!"

My old man blew his pipe and then put on a serious face.

"Is my face look like I am joking? I won't joke about something like Great Red."

The other youkai had a look of realization. They finally realized the danger that the organization posed.

"The organization, Khaos Brigade, had a lot of armies. We, youkai, have our own army, but it's not enough. The leader of the Khaos Brigade, it's one of the Dragon God, Ophis."

The muttering between the youkai in the room became louder, they didn't look at my old man now, but they were looking at each other and talking about what should they do in the future.

"That's not quite right, old man." I said to my old man as I crossed my arms.

The attention of everyone in the room instantly focused on me.

"Ophis is a leader in name only, the real leader of Khaos Brigade is Rizevim Livan Lucifer."

This time, even my old man was looking at me with a surprised expression. Hmm, did he fail to get that information?

I will not hide anything from my clan. If the information inside my head was able to get me and my clan to advantage, then I will tell them.

"Ophis's goal is to chase Great Red away from Dimensional Gap. She wanted to gain her silence back, which is easy to do with my power or we just need to let her enter that place, old man."

I grinned at my old man and the other youkai. After entering that place behind our mansion, I thought of a plan. If Ophis wanted silence, then that place that was surrounded by my old man's Fear is perfect.

There was no disturbing sound, and the place was concealed perfectly. Only me and my old man or someone who was able to cut my old man's Fear will be able to find that place.

I doubt the devil would be able to find the place, and even Gods will have trouble finding the house if I add the effect of my Sacred Gear on top of the Fear.

"That's too good to be true. How did you find that information, Riku?" Asked my old man with a doubting tone. He wanted to test or try to get my source of information.

"Why are you asking that, old man. My source of information has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Haa?!" My old man scowled and shouted. "You think that you are stronger than me now huh, you brat?!"

"Ha?! That's the fact, you shitty old man. Do you want to take it out right now?" I shouted back at my old man as I leaned my head closer and raised my right leg to intimidate him.

The youkai were flabbergasted when they saw us, but they recovered quickly and took a sake cup in front of them, and smiled.

"Get him, young master! Commander has been too cocky these days!"

"No, commander! Young Master is too young, teach him some manners!"

"Haa?! What are you saying, young master is strong enough at his age! He even defeated Kokabiel without sweating!"

The youkai had divided into two, those who support my old man and those who support me. But even so, they were like the supporter of soccer, they just talked to each other, maybe punching each other when their favorite team playing, then they will reconcile after the match.

"It seems the successor announcement needs to be put off after our match, brat."

My old man said with a feral grin on his face.

closed my right eyes and put on the same grin as I said, "Oh, I thought the same thing. I won't succeed you if you are weak, old man. I will make my own faction if that's the case."

The youkai started shouting, and then we disappeared from their sight at the same time. As I disappeared using Meikyo Shisui, I glanced at Hagoromo Gitsune and saw her smiling.

As soon as I saw my old man disappear, I called my Nenekirimaru and imbued it with Fear, slashing the place in front of me.

His Fear was cut rather easily and his body re-appeared from thin air. His kimono was slashed a little bit, but it left no scar on his body.

"Hahahaha, is that it, old man?!" I shouted while dispersing my voice so it would be heard from various places.

My old man grinned and then imbued his right hand with a spear as he made a swing motion. He swung his right hand from the left to the right, aiming at my stomach. It's a mysterious thing, we Nurarihyon Youkai will never be felt by the others, but my old man somehow can pinpoint my place.

But unfortunately, his Fear was a bit weaker than mine right now. I finally realized that my old man used most or at least half of his power to hide the house where my mother lived a long time ago. So, he can't cut my Fear and raised his hands in defeat.

I showed up again, and the youkai clapped their hands for me.

"Whooo young master!!"

"Long live Commander! Long live Young Master!!"

The youkai went into a lively mood as if the information about Khaos Brigade was just a passing wind.

I knew this from the start, that was why I followed my old man's lead and showed my power. This also worked to show my power to the leader of the clan so they will approve my position as the heir, the successor as the leader of the East Youkai Clan.

"Well, it seems that I am not wrong to appoint you as my successor, Riku." Said my old man as he took his seat again.

I took a seat again, ignoring the fact that we just had a quick exchange earlier, and smiled.

"As if there is anyone other than me to be your successor in the first place."

We laughed at the same time, and then the meeting proceed to a drinking contest as usual.
