The sun was setting in the west. The afterglow of the sun and the withered, yellow leaves complemented the bleakness of the autumn day. The sparse pedestrians on the streets made this autumn day look even more desolate and quiet than in previous years.
However, Yuan's current state of mind was not as calm as the autumn scenery.
In the office of the White Fox Firm.
" Chief, what are you thinking? You touched the taboo of Yin Yang Dao without permission, banned the Lord Sacrifice of Mount Tai Prefecture without permission, and even caused a ruckus in Earth Imperial Sect…"
Yuan listened to Ishinaga Kotoko's incessant chatter with a worried expression. She had just been reprimanded by the old man in the Yin Yang Hall, and when she returned to the White Fox Law Firm, she immediately accepted Ishinaga Kotoko's criticism. This criticism had lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon until now. Other than drinking a few mouthfuls of water to moisten her dry throat, she had not stopped for a single moment.
Yuanyumo, who was feeling guilty, could not help but admire Iwanaga Kotoko for her little assistant's lung capacity.
Beside her, Kasugano Dome looked at Iwanaga Kotoko with a hint of uneasiness. Ever since she came to the White Fox Law Firm, this was the first time she had seen Kotoko so angry. If she were the director, she would probably cry from the scolding. She was definitely not as " unmoved " as the director.
Bang!
Kotomi Ishinaga slammed the table and scolded in dissatisfaction,""Director, are you listening to me? Do you know how worried I was when I first found out about this? Moreover, the reputation of our White Fox Firm has been wiped clean by Yin Yang Hall.”
"…About this, Kotomi, regarding reputation and credibility, with the current state of the White Fox Law Firm, we don't have to do anything about it. We have to look in the right direction.”
Yuanyumo knew that if she remained silent, Ishinaga Kotoko would not be able to reprimand him for long. However, it was indeed a big mistake for her to perform the Mount Tai Prefectural Ritual together with the Dalian Temple's Suzuka without prior notice.
"Kotomi, you see, with this matter, the reputation of our White Fox Firm has soared. Also, if it weren't for the opportunity in the Earth Imperial Sect this time, I definitely wouldn't have been able to outline the framework of the Yin Yang Dao so quickly.”
"Besides, nothing unexpected happened.”
Yuanyumo's words still made Iwanaga Kotoko unhappy.
" These are all crooked logic. I would rather the White Fox Firm use supernatural incidents to make a name for itself. Perhaps the opportunity of the Earth Imperial Sect did increase the director's strength, but your purpose in going to the Earth Imperial Sect was to borrow the 'Tactics of Divination,' not to perform the Mount Tai Prefecture Ritual with that bad girl, Suzuka of the Dalian Temple.”
In fact, in Kotoko Ishinaga's mind, the Suzuka of the Dalian Temple was already the Twelve Divine Generals of the Yin Yang Hall who had led her director astray. She was also labeled as a " bad girl "," unwelcome personnel ", and " strictly forbid people from coming in and out ". If it wasn't for the instigation of Suzuka of the Great Lian Temple, the director wouldn't have taken the risk to ban the Taishan Prefecture's Ritual without permission. Moreover, now that she thought about it, all the information about the Taishan Prefecture's Ritual that the director had previously obtained came from her.
In Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes, the real culprit behind all of this was Otakaiji Suzuka.
"Alright, Kotomi, calm down." Yuan smiled as she coaxed her little assistant, Iwanaga Kotoko, who was fuming with anger." I promise that if something like this happens again, I will let you know in advance."”
"…Chief, it's just in advance.”
Yanyong Kotomi glanced at Yuan unhappily.
Yuan smiled but did not say anything. She had already expressed her attitude.
"Sigh!"
Seeing this, Kotoko Ishinaga could only sigh silently. She understood that the director had already given in by being informed in advance. It was indeed a little difficult to change his mind.
"Director, this won't happen again."
Kotomi Ishinaga said as if she had lost all hope.
……
"Tell me, did our White Fox Law Firm receive any requests for supernatural events during my absence?”
Yuan asked as she adjusted herself to the position of the director of the White Fox Law Firm.
Immediately, Kasugano Dome took out a few letters of authorization from the cabinet beside him and placed them in front of Yuan.
"Chief, these few letters of authorization were left behind after Sister Kotomi finished handling them. Three of the supernatural incidents were investigated and found to be the work of some kind of man-eating monster. The degree of familiarity is extremely high, so we can combine them into one supernatural incident.”
"Monster? It was because a powerful demon had no idea where to start.”
Yuan asked casually.
Kotomi Ikenaga shook her head and said,"" No, it's just that it's very good at hiding itself. Every time a supernatural event is discovered, there will only be a tragic scene of broken limbs. Its head and internal organs have all disappeared. From the wounds on the remaining limbs, it seems to have been bitten by some kind of beast.”
"You're good at hiding yourself. Even those ghosts under you didn't discover any other clues.”
Kotoko Ikenaga nodded.
Yuan took a look at the information on the power of attorney. There was very little useful information that could be extracted from it. Most of it was descriptions and photos of the scene of the supernatural incident. It did look bloody and cruel. Immediately, she put down the power of attorney in her hand and asked about other power of attorney for supernatural incidents.
"There are still two items left. Strictly speaking, they can be combined into one. They are inextricably linked to our White Fox Firm.”
Yuanyumo was stunned when she heard Kotoko Ishinaga's words. She then saw the silent Kasugano Dome beside her, whose pale face had a complicated and painful expression.
Suddenly, Yuan had a flash of inspiration as she spoke in a serious tone.
"It has something to do with the strange wood demon that could bear the blood-red fruit.”
"It appeared again, or rather, it was released again!!!”
