Facing Shen He's question, Jian Tong Yan only responded with a wail.
He has lived for more than 400 years, and of course he knows the consequences of being useless. If he doesn't respond, he may still live in shame.
"What?" Shen He paused pretentiously, "Oh, just agree."
It was just a formality, and it was not worth it to be used as a threat.
"Wait--" Jian Tong Yan wailed loudly, "Please..."
Immortality is all he is obsessed with.
Even though he has forgotten the meaning of pursuing immortality in the first place.
But when death really arrives, the huge fear almost swallows him up completely.
Shen He is no longer prepared to let him continue to pollute the air.
Flames burned in his hands.
In less than a second, this cunning, cruel insect that even abandoned its human body for survival died so easily.
However, Shen He was not very happy.
No matter how the evildoer is punished, it cannot make up for the harm suffered by the victim.
"Then, Ying." Shen He squatted down and looked at Ying's face. "From now on, your name is Shen Ying. You have to call me dad... call me father, understand?"
Originally, he planned to let Ying call him dad, but when the words came to his mouth, Shen He still felt a little awkward.
It seems that Ying is not the only one who needs to adapt.
He also needs to adapt.
"Father." Ying uttered these two Chinese words with some difficulty, and then changed to Japanese and asked, "Is father a Chinese?"
"Yes." Shen He touched her head and stood up.
He could see that the reason why Ying agreed was more because of the instinct of survival.
This girl, who was only six years old, already knew how to survive.
Take your time.
The most important thing to take care of a child is patience.
"Master." Jeanne hugged Ying in her arms distressedly, "I want to take Ying back."
"Okay." Shen He nodded, "I have notified Dr. Gua Tai and asked Semiramis to help."
Ying's body really needs to be taken care of.
And compared to the clumsy self.
Jeanne, the "mother", can help Ying adapt to the new environment better.
The castle gate opened, Shen He watched Jeanne take Sakura in, until the castle gate closed, his straight back relaxed all of a sudden.
"It's better to be casual." Accelerator curled his lips, "Isn't it tiring to pretend?"
"I've never been a father." Shen He was also a little helpless.
Adopting a daughter is much more difficult than raising a sister.
A sister just needs to be loved.
As for a daughter, especially Sakura's mind has become sensitive, mature, and closed, so Shen He will subconsciously care about his image.
Maybe he will be the type of strict father?
"Master." Saiki Kusuo appeared beside Shen He, "The person I just rescued seems to have encountered Tohsaka Tokiomi and has started a battle."
"Really." Shen He glanced at the sky, "Let's go, the travel card is valid for a whole day, do as much as possible."
Saiki Kusuo, who is already level 38, can almost make people feel a sense of doing whatever they want.
It's not just the range of teleportation.
Even the observation range of the clairvoyance covers the entire Fuyuki City.
As long as he wants, he can monitor all the masters and servants.
For example, at this moment, after searching for Shen He and others in vain, Tosaka Tokiomi, who ran to the Matou family to question, unexpectedly ran into Matou Kariya head-on.
"Tosaka... Tokiomi! Kill him!"
For Matou Kariya, there was no need to say anything more.
Obeying the master's resentment, the black knight roared out from the void.
"My purpose of coming here is not the Holy Grail War." Tosaka Tokiomi raised his staff, "Matou Kariya, why did the Matou family let Sakura get involved? Is it because of your greed for the Holy Grail that you have already disregarded everything?"
He mistakenly thought that the scene of Sakura being taken away was something that Matou Kariya and those people did to target him.
"You actually... still have the nerve to question me!?"
Matou Kariya gritted his teeth tightly, and the insects that were finally calmed down rolled in his body.
And the berserker had already rushed up with a roar.
Boom!
The golden light that fell from the sky blocked the berserker's path, and a golden figure slowly appeared.
"Your Majesty." Tohsaka Tokiomi turned gracefully and saluted Jin Shanshan, "I am very grateful."
"Humph." Jin Shanshan looked at Tohsaka Tokiomi with a cold gaze, "Even if you are just a minister of my majesty, you are not someone that can be bullied by any random bastard."
Tohsaka Tokiomi bowed respectfully again.
The reason why he decided to attack tonight was that he was thinking of completely getting rid of the Berserker.
It seemed that the other party had formed an alliance with the mysterious people.
However, he had to fight quickly.
"Not only did you abandon your responsibility as the heir of a magician family, but you also dragged Sakura, an outsider, into it." Tohsaka Tokiomi raised his magic wand high, and the surging flames hovered around him in an instant, "No matter from which point of view, I can only kill you."
The flames gathered into a huge fireball along the direction of the magic wand, and attacked Matou Kariya with rolling heat.
As the fifth-generation head of the Tohsaka family, his attainments in the way of magic were far beyond what Matou Kariya, who had received a year of quick training, could compare to.
Therefore, the only outcome was that all the insects were burned.
However, just as the flames were about to engulf the enemy,
"Let's stop here."
A voice with a slight sigh appeared in the air.
Then there was a blue light that shone in vain.
Shen He and his group instantly appeared in the middle of the battlefield. Esdeath's frost even froze Tohsaka Tokiomi's flame.
"Mr. Shen!" Matou Kariya showed an ecstatic expression, and then asked nervously, "Where is Sakura, how is Sakura?"
"Don't worry, she's fine." Shen He waved his hand gently, "In a few hours, you will be able to see a healthy Sakura."
"Great, great!" Matou Kariya was trembling all over, and then the next moment, his face was full of hideousness, "Mr. Shen, please kill him, Tohsaka Tokiomi, all this is his fault!"
The berserker and Gilgamesh on the other side seemed to have stopped fighting.
The berserker's eyes were always on Altria, while Gilgamesh was staring at Saiki Kusuo. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his expression.
"You, really cooperated with Matou Kariya."
Tohsaka Tokiomi put away his wand and stared at Shen He.
He could easily see that Shen He was the leader of these people.
His mood sank slightly.
Everyone around the other party has the power comparable to that of a servant. This can no longer be viewed in the context of a regular Holy Grail War. The other party has already shown overwhelming strength.
"Introduce yourself." Shen He also looked at the man who was taking all the blame. "Master from Chaldea, Shen He."
"Chaldea?" Tohsaka Tokiomi was stunned.
"You know this name?" This time it was Shen He's turn to be surprised.
Although the prototype of Chaldea also came from the Type-Moon world, it was not from the same world line as this Holy Grail War.
This organization should not exist here.
"In the 1990s, the London Magic Association invited my Tohsaka family to participate in a research institute called Chaldea." Tohsaka Tokiomi was a little surprised and doubtful, "But at the beginning of the design, the entire project plan was abandoned due to budget issues."
"Is that so..." Shen He shook his head gently, "We are just an organization that inherited some of the ideas of Chaldea, but none of this is important. What's important is that I am now Sakura's stepfather."
"What!?"
For a moment, Tohsaka Tokiomi was unable to maintain the elegance of a magician.
"Just as you heard." Shen He's expression was very serious, "Matou Yanye has agreed, and now Sakura has moved into my mansion."
"..."
"Hahaha!" When Tohsaka Tokiomi was silent, Matou Yanye had already laughed unscrupulously and even hysterically, "That's it, that's it, Tohsaka Tokiomi you are not worthy of being Sakura's father, not worthy of being Aoi's husband..."
"This... ridiculous!" Tohsaka Tokiomi held the scepter tightly, "Sakura is to be the heir of the Matou family's magic, how could she be adopted by someone else, not to mention that you claim to destroy the Matou family!"
He could already roughly guess what happened.
This group of people took revenge on the Matou family for something, and then took a fancy to Sakura's excellent talent and forcibly abducted her.
He would never agree to such a thing!
"The Matou family no longer exists."
Shen He only said one sentence, and Tohsaka Tokiomi swallowed the words that were on his lips.
"I don't have a child either." Shen He looked at him, "I will raise Sakura as my own daughter, both in life and in inheritance, so, will you still object?"
"If..." Toosaka Tokiomi's knuckles turned white because of the force, "You can really let Sakura inherit your family's magic..."
"Hehe." Shen He chuckled twice, not hiding his sarcasm, "Toosaka Tokiomi, I think that if you want to be a person, the first condition is to shoulder your own responsibilities. Those who can't even do this are beasts worse than humans, right?"
"It should be so!"
Toosaka Tokiomi didn't know what the person in front of him wanted to say.
But he agreed with this sentence.
Of course he would agree, because this sentence was what he used to condemn Matou Kariya in his original destiny.
"So——!" Shen He raised his voice in vain, "Look at the appearance of Matou Kariya! Don't you really know what a corrupt and dirty family the Matou family is! You who pushed your daughter into hell with your own hands, do you still have the nerve to say the word responsibility in front of the tortured Sakura? You are a beast worse than a human, and that's you, Toosaka Tokiomi!"
Comfortable.
Shen He felt like taking a big sip of cold beer under the scorching sun.
Especially looking at Toosaka Tokiomi's stunned eyes.
To be honest, after deciding to adopt Sakura, Shen He really didn't know how to deal with Toosaka Tokiomi. After all, he was Sakura's biological father, and this was something that had to be considered.
So——
rather than killing him, it would be better to let him spend the rest of his life carrying the guilt.
"No, it's impossible!" Tohsaka Tokiomi finally came to his senses, and the first thing he questioned was, "The Matou family is one of the three great families, and their magic heritage is as long-standing as the Tohsaka family! How could they fall!"
"Hahaha——!" Matou Kariya finally understood everything, and he couldn't help laughing wildly, pointing at the scar on his face, "How could I fall? Where do you think I got this look, you hypocritical and dirty guy, let me see how you face Sakura and Aoi!"
"No, this is impossible!"
Tohsaka Tokiomi still couldn't believe it.
Or rather, he didn't dare to believe it.
With a strong sense of pride and self-esteem, he couldn't even tolerate the slightest flaw in himself, whether as a magician or as a father.
He sent Sakura away precisely because of the extraordinary fatherly love he possessed.
But if what Shen He said is true...
"If you don't believe it, why not come and see it for yourself." Shen He waved his hand, and a magnificent golden gate appeared in front of everyone and slowly opened, "Yakura is being treated in my mansion now. How about it, do you dare to see her?"
"..."
Toosaka Tokiomi no longer had his usual calmness.
Big beads of sweat came out from his forehead, even wet his hair, stained his clothes, and completely lost his elegant aristocratic style.
This is a trap, a trap that wants to catch him and his servants in one fell swoop.
Tohsaka Tokiomi kept thinking in his heart, but he really couldn't bear the condemnation of his self-esteem.
"There is such a place." Jin Shanshan strode in directly, looked around, and seemed quite satisfied with the castle in front of him, "Yes, this will be my treasure from now on. Only such a residence can match the status of this king."
"..." Shen He ignored this glittering, glanced at Tohsaka Tokiomi, and walked in.
"Tohsaka Tokiomi, are you so cowardly that you dare not bear your own crimes?" Matou Kariya laughed hoarsely, "I'm afraid that Sakura doesn't know how to resent you, a cruel father, in her heart, hahaha! I really want to see the day when Aoi abandons you. People like you don't deserve such happiness at all."
Matou Kariya's greatest hatred for Tohsaka Tokiomi.
It comes from the other party "having everything he wants, but despising everything he wants".
Therefore, being able to see Tohsaka Tokiomi lose everything is the most satisfying revenge for him.
"......" Tohsaka Tokiomi took a deep breath.
Having made a decision, he suppressed his inner fear and strode into this glorious gate.
Since taking over the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Tokiomi has spent half his life in hardship. He silently licked up the bitterness along the way and turned it all into self-esteem. Because of this, he would not allow himself to escape from fear.
And just when all the people entered the gate.
Lightning was accompanied by the sound of horses.
The burly servant drove the carriage down from the sky. The Conqueror King looked at the gate in front of him, laughed heartily twice, and drove the carriage directly through the gate.
Shen He naturally realized the appearance of the Conqueror King. Not only that, but also several clones of Assassin sneaked in.
Moved his fingers.
The Conqueror King and those clones were immediately moved in front of everyone.
"Oh, this is really amazing."
The King of Conquerors exclaimed, not feeling that he was being moved at all.
"Uninvited guests are not qualified to set foot in this castle." Shen He glanced at them calmly, "It's okay for the King of Conquerors who came in openly, but those who sneaked in secretly should die."
Almost as soon as the words fell, the assassin's clones disappeared like smoke.
Tohsaka Tokiomi's heart tightened.
He couldn't feel the breath of any magic barrier here.
But there was no doubt
that this was a force with a foundation far greater than that of the Tohsaka family.
