Am I A God?

“Investigate the identity of the criminal Diao Bao, then inform Kaede Hattori.”

Zhao Yao gazed at the tasks on his task panel and felt a wave of helplessness rise.

Until now, the completion of the task had been simple. Zhao Yao had only needed to seek out Kaede Hattori to understand the situation.

However, tying up loose ends was a troublesome affair. The Hattori clan was one of Japan’s super huge clans. With Kaede Hattori’s defeat of the Spirit Army and his position as director of Special Higher Police, the power and influence of both Kaede Hattori and his clan grew daily.

Though Zhao Yao was not afraid, once this kind of opponent set their sights on both him and Bai Quan, it would be an endless source of trouble.

Even if Zhao Yao were to harden his heart, he could never be despicable to the point of exterminating the Hattori clan. The clan had not really provoked him. It would be morally wrong for him to wipe them out. On top of that, Kappei Hattori was Nanako’s fiancé. He would not be able to face Nanako in the future.

The more he contemplated the situation, the more vexed he became. Suddenly, Zhao Yao’s eyes brightened. “Could I not erase their memories after completing the task? Would he not remember that I had completed the task if the memories were erased? Would I be able to unlock the burning exclamation mark? Perhaps I should erase his memories after receiving the task from burning exclamation mark? Will that affect future tasks?”

Zhao Yao went into deep thinking.

As he was lying down on the sofa of the Extradimensional belly, an orange cat stealthily ran to his side and jumped into his arms loudly. The cat butted its hairy head against Zhao Yao’s stomach.

“What’s the matter?” Zhao Yao caressed Matcha’s head. He was very puzzled and said, “Tell me directly. Do not beat around the bush.”

Matcha stared at Zhao Yao with his big eyes and said, “Zhao Yao, you’re so smart. You have me all figured out.”

“Nonsense, do I not understand you well?” Zhao Yao pointed at Matcha’s chest and stomach and said, “I know whether you are urinating or removing your bowels by the mere up-flick of your tail. Tell me. What is it? ”

Matcha lowered his head in embarrassment. “It’s… It’s that.”

“What is it?”

“It’s you human beings, you know. You humans frequently consume that thing.” Matcha said, embarrassed,”To become faster, bigger and last longer after ingesting it.”

Zhao Yao replied, “Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about us humans.”

“Eh? Zhao Yao, don’t you know? There’s a… a holy human drug that can prolong the duration of the spell.” Matcha glanced at Zhao Yao briefly.

Zhao Yao slapped Matcha and shouted furiously, “Do you think I require such a drug? My constitution is pretty strong and does not need such a drug. I don’t know what drug you are referring to.”

“Get lost! You get lost!”

Matcha fled, dejected and with his tail between his legs. He was utterly disappointed. “Zhao Yao was so petty. He could not even share the good stuff.”

After chasing Matcha away, Zhao Yao thought that erasing memories after completing the task was worth a try. “I have to find the right opportunity since Kaede Hattori is powerful and always closely protected by Special Higher Police officers. They’ve captured Momo and Momo knows Cannon and Bai Quan. If the investigation continues, given all the government is capable of, it’s a matter of time before the truth is uncovered. Let me sort this out…”

…

At the Special Higher Police office, Kaede Hattori sat behind his table and scrutinized the documents.

Hideki Kujyo, who was also Nanako’s brother, sat on the side sofa with a serious face. The Kujyo clan was currently the leading clan.

The office rang with the sound of the photocopier machine printing something. Hideki Kujyo controlled his breathing carefully. He seemed afraid to break the silence.

He didn’t intend to. It was Kaede Hattori’s powerful presence that caused him to do so subconsciously.

After realizing this, Hideki Kujyo’s eyes flashed with unnoticeable fury.

He gazed deeply at Kaede Hattori and thought to himself, “This man is becoming more powerful. Is it because of the Divine Rays of Terror? The defeat of the Spirit Army has given him more fame and power. His every movement, even the most subtle, is able to cause an uproar.”

Hideki Kujyo felt the oppressive and powerful presence. He almost could not breathe.

At this thought, Hideki Kujyo shut his eyes. “If I were to make my move against him, I would have to handle extreme fear. If it continued, that man would be invincible… I have to find a way to stop him in his tracks so that people will stop fearing him.”

While Hideki Kujyo was lost in his thoughts, Kaede Hattori, who sat behind the office table, stopped perusing his documents. He lifted his head, leveled his gaze on Hideki Kujyo and said, “Apologies Hideki, to have you kept you waiting. Come over here so we can discuss.”

Hideki Kujyo smiled gracefully, stood up and sat in front of Kaede Hattori. He said smiling, “You are the leader of the Special Higher Police, the apex of Japan’s supernatural forces, I can imagine how busy you are.”

“The higher the position, the heavier the responsibilities.” Kaede Hattori continued, “The current international situation is highly unpredictable. Progress in the supernatural world increases by the day. In order not to be obsolete, one has to seek continuous progress as well.

Since I have already consolidated the power of the Special Higher Police, my next move will be to strengthen the entire Japanese supernatural power. This will take me three months. After which I will be qualified to pit against the Americans and Chinese and gain more supernatural resources in order to overtake them at the next crucial turn…”

Kaede Hattori spoke fervently and Hideki Kujyo added a few of his words. After that, both of them discussed the collaboration between the Hattori and Kujyo clans. Kaede Hattori suddenly asked, “How is the preparation for Nanako and Kappei’s wedding coming along?”

Hideki Kujyo nodded his head and said, “We’ve already chosen a date and location. About three months ago, I assigned the detailed preparations to Sylvie…”

Kaede Hattori beckoned with his hand, “Too slow, have it next week.”

Hideki Kujyo was taken aback. “But…”

“Hideki, the wedding is just a formality. There’s no need for extravagant preparations. We only need to show the union of our clans, that suffices.” Kaede Hattori’s eyes flashed with unfathomable brilliance. “This will be more beneficial for my strengthening of the supernatural world. Do you have any other requests?”

“I understand.” Hideki Kujyo’s gaze slightly shimmered as he thought to himself, “What is Kaede Hattori’s intention behind advancing the wedding? This wedding could be our golden opportunity.”

That night, news of Nanako Kujyo and Kappei Hattori’s wedding next week was conveyed to the public.

More sensational was the news of Kaede Hattori’s possession of the “Meteorite Fragments” and that he would present them as bridal gift to Nanako Kujyo on her wedding day.”
