[PS: The lion is robbing the real man, there's no doubt about this, right?]

"You're the hound hired to bite, aren't you?”
In the dark office, the tall and thin old man sat behind his desk and looked at the newcomer with a scrutinizing expression.
The man who pushed open the door had the aura of war. Whether it was the scars on his face or the solid muscles that made people fear him, they all showed his nature as a hunter.
He was a hound on the battlefield. Although he followed the principle of not killing unless it was necessary, he was still not a righteous person.
The Necromancer, that was what people called him. They feared him, but at the same time, they hated him.
"Huh? This was really an impolite form of address. Did he want to break his bones and tendons? Old Master." The newcomer, or perhaps Shi Zijie Jieli, said calmly. He was already used to all kinds of contempt. Otherwise, he would not have come to this territory of the nobles.
"If you think you can do it, you can try.”The white-haired old man said with a provocative smile. "But if we do, the nobles will probably have to choose another obedient hound.”
"So confident? As expected of the old but vigorous 'Feudal Lord'.”Lion Jie Li was leaning on the sofa, but his every move was tense. It was obvious that he had prepared a counterattack to deal with any situation.
"Vigorous in old age? That's a good compliment. Let's discuss your mission first.”
The old man, also known as the Lord of the Summoning Division, Rocco Belferbon, had been in this position for half a century.
" We…or should I say, Barthemero of the Law and Political Department, need you to go to Romania to kill the remnants of the Yggdmillennia family. Of course, the most important thing is-"
" Kill Rhode, kill the 'Rhode Frein Yogg Domirenia' who stirred up trouble!”
"Oh? It's a pretty good mission." Hearing this, the lion Jie Li smiled and took out a cigarette from his pocket as if he had thought of something. Under the gaze of the lord, he resentfully put away the box of Hong Kong Dragon Smoke.
"In that case, I can take it that you intend to accept this mission?”Rocco said, but his eyes were sharp.
"Of course-no!" Shi Zi Jie Li's expression changed as he held the shotgun in his arms and said contemptuously. "I can't bite the hand that feeds me. I owe Mr. Rhode a favor, so I have no reason to kill him!”
"Oh? Are you not afraid of dying here? Although the Clock Tower was magnificent, there were countless shadows in the corners where sunlight could not reach.”Rocco laughed sinisterly. "As long as you reveal this attitude of yours, the magicians of Barthemerow will be like jackals that smell blood and devour your 97 kilograms of flesh.”
"Tsk, do you still want to continue pretending? Don't think that I can't see through you, Lord Rocco.”Shi Zi Jie Li mocked with disdain. "If I remember correctly, it was Elmero who asked me to accept this mission, right? Weren't they on the same side as Rhode?”
"Wear the same pair of pants? It was a good analogy. The East Asian language family was really broad and profound.”Rocco's expression changed, and the ferocious look from before was swept away. " Since you've rejected the previous mission, it means that you're on the same side as the twelve Suzerains. Let's talk about another mission. The reward is definitely beyond your imagination.”
"Tsk…Rich noble family, I'm already prepared to demand an exorbitant price from you.”As he spoke, Shi Zi Jie Li laughed at himself. "If I had agreed to the previous mission, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave this place alive, right? Mr. Rhode really has a lot of allies.”
"No, you will leave the Clock Tower alive and fall into the English Channel with the plane.”Rocco pretended to be relaxed and laughed, but his words were filled with coldness. " Then, the second mission is to protect Rhode's safety. At the same time, kill the Yggdmillennia family members including Danick and bring Rhode back to the Clock Tower at the right time. We will protect him.”
"Are you kidding me?" Hearing this, Shi Zijie Jie Li said disdainfully. "Protect him? What a joke! You just want his technology.”
"Hmph, a hound like you is really ignorant.”Lord Rocco sneered. " Mr. Rhode's true value lies in the wisdom and talent he inherited. In order to obtain his bloodline, every family will probably treat him well and even give up the position of the family head for him to choose.”
"Nobles are really full of twists and turns.”Seeing this, Shi Zijie Jie Li stood up and said. "I still owe you a favor, Mr. Rhode.”
"Oh? You owe him a favor? Don't joke around. Can't you see through how mercenary he is? He's using you." Lord Rocco kindly reminded, his tone filled with pity.
"Of course I know. Don't think of me as too stupid.”Picking up the nine-headed snake specimen, Shi Zi Jie Li mocked. " Even if I'm being used, Mr. Rhode still treats me as an equal and not as a lowly hound like the nobles. Also, this is the deposit.”
" Bang!" The lion slammed the door and left. Hearing the heavy sound, Rocco smiled bitterly.
"Unfortunately, the arrogance of a noble is also essential. How can you be considered a noble without arrogance?”

Under the scorching sun at noon, on the streets of Tulifas, Rumania, Rhode, who was wearing the uniform of the Yggdmillennia family, was entangled with Tamamo Mae.
"Hey! Hey! Hello, Master! The atmosphere here is not right!" Tamamo Mae hugged Rhode's arm tightly and said adorably. "The humans around us are all hostile, fearful, and even hateful towards us. What kind of evil deeds have you done to attract so much hostility?”
As she spoke, Tamamo Mo-Mae patted the giant cat that was surging with momentum.
"Don't worry, Master! Even if you have a criminal record of " starting from three years and the highest death penalty ", it's nothing in my eyes. In the future, if you need to rape a young girl, just tell me, and I'll turn into a young girl!”
"Tsk…I feel like I'm being looked down upon by you again.”
Rhode's expression was bitter as he tried his best to pull his hand out of Tamamo Mae's embrace. However, compared to the valiant physique of the Heroic Spirit, he was indeed a complete loser. The two soft lumps and the elegant fragrance that greeted him made him extremely happy.
"Don't worry, these people are just resentful and afraid of the members of the Yggdmillennia family. Who knows what those bastards have done?”
"Eh? Was that so? What a pity. I clearly had the chance to…"
