Chapter 122: I’m the One Who Beat Them Up

Looking at the bruised and battered Fueguchi Ryouko and the trembling Hinami, Jotaro said indifferently, "Go quickly."

After speaking, he no longer paid them any attention.

Fueguchi Ryouko struggled to get up. She didn't know why this man in front of her had saved them, but right now, she didn't want to think about that. As long as Hinami could survive, that was enough.

A mother's love was just that blind and great.

Unlike Mado Kureo's view, ghouls were not mimicking humans, they possessed emotions similar to humans. This was also why the battle between humans and ghouls was hard to stop.

They, like humans, would love other things. So if someone destroyed those things, they would also become angry, and they would also feel hatred.

Hinami supported the injured Ryouko step by step. At the end of the alley, she suddenly turned her head and said with a dodging gaze, "Big brother, thank you."

"You look very fierce, but... you're a good person."

Mado Akira coldly watched the Fueguchi mother and daughter disappear at the alley's end, showing no emotional fluctuation on her face, even though her father had been beaten unconscious by Jotaro, she still seemed to maintain her calm.

"Kujo First-Class, why did you do this? From the standpoint of humanity, isn't your approach too biased?"

"Or could it be, you're a ghoul-lover?"

At this moment, Mado Akira's expression was quite similar to Mado Kureo's, one eye squinting, one eye open, overflowing with disdain for Jotaro's actions.

"Don't tell me you're a member of that foolish organization!"

In society, there was a group of people committed to speaking out for ghouls' survival. They believed that since ghouls were born into this world, then they had the right to survive here.

Unlike CCG's ideology of exterminating all ghouls, they believed in researching ways for ghouls and humans to coexist.

Obviously, in the eyes of CCG, these people were all "heretics," the ones they aimed to eliminate.

So these ghoul-lovers could only act in secret, had limited resources, and their research basically made no progress.

Jotaro was clearly not one of those so-called ghoul-lovers, but he didn't discriminate against such people either.

Unlike the barbaric creatures who could only solve problems with killing, these people sought peaceful methods beyond bloodshed.

Perhaps that was also where humanity's greatness lay, different from wild beasts.

"What is the standpoint of humanity? Can you tell me, Second-Class Mado?" Jotaro looked straight at Mado Akira and asked.

Mado Akira said emotionally, "Ghouls are killing humans, making humans suffer. From the human standpoint, of course we should slaughter them all."

Jotaro responded calmly, "Just now you mentioned the ghoul-lover organization. The 'standpoint of humanity' you speak of, isn't it also not the standpoint of all humans?"

It was as if he had completely torn away Mado Akira's fig leaf.

"You're only standing from your own standpoint."

Jotaro closed his eyes and said indifferently, "I'm the same. So the reason I let them go is also because I'm standing from my own standpoint."

Mado Akira, shamed and angered, gritted her silver teeth with a creaking sound. After a while, she exhaled and said calmly, "After my mother died, my father became like this, he hated ghouls and his behavior became extreme."

A look of reminiscence appeared on her usually cold face.

"Even so, he still treated me with the same gentleness as before."

She raised her chin, her eyes shining with a cold light, staring at Jotaro, and shouted, "Sorry, but from my own standpoint, Kujo First-Class!"

"You've sheltered ghouls, attacked fellow investigators, I'm going to arrest you and bring you to justice, even if you're my superior!"

She didn't have a Quinque on her, so she picked up one that another investigator had dropped on the ground.

Quinques were weapons used to deal with ghouls. Yet now, she pointed one at a fellow human.

Jotaro didn't find it laughable. Anyone fighting from their own standpoint, regardless of the method, was worthy of respect.

At least such people weren't arrogant to the point of being unbearable.

"Ora!"

What greeted her was Jotaro's extremely serious iron fist.

Mado Akira fell flat on her back, tears welling from her eyes.

"Ow... it hurts so much..."

This bastard, he actually hit a lady this hard.

Her tears weren't because of the pain, but because she felt wronged.

After working with Jotaro for so many days, she had looked forward to seeing how he fought ghouls, yet before that, she was the one who got beaten up by him.

"You don't plan to leave us here, do you?" Seeing Jotaro shove his hands in his pockets and turn away, looking like he was about to walk off in a cool manner, Mado Akira hurriedly shouted.

Jotaro turned his head and glanced at her, saying indifferently, "You're already a competent person. In this kind of situation, you should be able to handle it."

Mado Akira lay on the ground, listening to Jotaro's footsteps fade into the distance, and gritted her teeth. "Still not even twenty years old, acting so deep in front of me!"

"That bastard, I'm definitely going to make it so he can't continue working in CCG!"

Her curses, Jotaro, of course, didn't hear. He had already swaggered into the CCG.

Though he had violated CCG rules, by the time Mado and Amon woke up and reported his offenses, and his punishment was finalized, probably several weeks would've passed already.

Right now, everyone in HQ was busy with the extermination battle the next day. No one had the time to deal with such a small matter.

Compared to the notorious Owl, letting two insignificant small fries go clearly wasn't a big deal.

If Jotaro could perform meritoriously in the upcoming extermination battle, upper management might not even pursue his mistake.

"Mado, and my subordinate Akira, will not participate in tomorrow's operation."

After listening to Jotaro's report, Special-Class Shinohara was stunned. He asked, "Kujo First-Class, please state the reason clearly. Mado Squad includes Mado First-Class and Amon First-Class. That's a considerable force for tomorrow."

Saying they'll be absent just like that, this isn't a drill.

Jotaro said, "They're still in the hospital."

Shinohara scratched his head in confusion. "Hospitalized? Did they fall ill? Why didn't Mado report it himself? And the whole squad hospitalized, that's too strange."

Jotaro replied frankly, "I'm the one who beat them into the hospital."

"Huh?" Shinohara's jaw dropped, carefully observing Jotaro's expression.

A completely serious face, clearly not joking.

"Shinohara-sama, you have a phone call." A communications officer hurried in.

After hearing the contents of the call, Shinohara's expression grew darker and darker.

"Why at this time..."

After hanging up, he exhaled deeply and stared with fury, "Kujo First-Class! Why did you attack your comrades!"

Jotaro replied briefly, "Because I didn't like them."

Shinohara Yukinori, as a Special-Class Investigator, had deep seniority in the CCG.

He had encountered many problematic agents, but one like Jotaro, who blatantly broke the rules and still acted upright about it, was a first.

"I give up..." Shinohara said helplessly.

Even though Jotaro violated the rules, now wasn't the time to deal with him.

Mado Kureo not participating was already a loss for CCG. If they lost someone like Jotaro as well, tomorrow's battle would surely end in disaster.

The big fight was imminent, trying to reassign personnel from HQ now would obviously be too late.

"As for Mado Kureo and Akira, I'll report the matter myself." Shinohara waved his hand. "Kujo First-Class, just rest up and prepare for tomorrow's battle."
