While Takagi Akira was killing time, Satomi Rentaro once again received a call from his guardian, Shigaki Senichi.

"Rentaro, I asked someone to find out a little bit of the information you wanted, but..."

On the phone, Shigenagi Senichi hesitated and didn't finish his words, which made Satomi Rentaro, who was originally excited to hear the good news, feel a bad premonition.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Well, the source of holmium metal involves Master He Guang..."

Upon hearing the answer from his guardian Shigaki Senichi, Rentaro Satomi's eyes widened and his speech began to stutter.

"Mr. Ziyuan, you... you are... talking about Brother Heguang..."

"I still want to believe Master Wako, but Master Wako is the only one found to have smuggled large amounts of holmium metal in the Tokyo area."

Having said this, Ziyuanxian paused for a moment before continuing.

"I'll have someone send the collected materials to you first. Later I'll continue to investigate whether there is any holmium metal smuggled in from other areas."

"Thank you, Mr. Ziyuan."

After receiving the documents sent by his guardian Shigenari Senichi, Rentaro Satomi, who wanted to exonerate his brother, read them over and over again in disbelief.

After reading the document several times, that night, Rentaro Satomi rushed into Muroto Sumire's laboratory with a grim look on his face and a file bag.

Looking at Rentaro Satomi's gloomy expression, Takagi Akira raised his eyebrows.

"Satomi-kun, what happened? Why do you look so upset?"

In response to Takagi Akira's question, Satomi Rentaro responded in a very low tone.

"I started with the clues about holmium metal as you said. I found some relevant information through my connections."

"Oh, you got a clue so soon? Satomi-kun is indeed a person who was once trained by Tendo Kikunosho, the actual ruler of the Tokyo region. He has a wide network of contacts. Let me see some clues."

Gao Muming said as he took out the documents from the file bag and took a quick look through them.

When he saw the names of Tendou and Guang, Takagi Akira's eyes froze and his brows slightly frowned.

"Tendo and Hikaru? If I remember correctly, in the memory given by Wizardmon, he seemed to be killed instantly by Tendou and Kosara with one strike."

"Although he was indeed the instigator of cutting corners on Monolith No. 32, could someone who was killed so easily be the important leader of the behind-the-scenes organization that has not even appeared in the plot?"

"Could it be that the Tendo clan is a high-ranking member of the Gosho Association? But that's not right. If Tendo Kikunosuke is really a high-ranking member of the Gosho Association, how could he run away after such a big incident as the secret research institute being destroyed by me?"

"Besides, as an organization capable of digging such a large research institute underground without being discovered by the Tokyo area, there is no way that Wuxianghui would be so stupid as to 'blatantly' use the holmium metal saved by cutting corners."

“To do so would only increase the risk to which the research is exposed.”

"This is even less credible than the fact that the Gosho Association has its own holmium metal mine. It seems that this is intentionally directing my attention to the Tendo family. If I'm not mistaken, the Gosho Association members in the Tokyo area are not on good terms with the Tendo family."

"But this is normal. The Gosho Clan, which secretly wants to rule the world, and the Tendo Clan, which is the actual controller of the Tokyo region, are not the same kind of people."

"They actually want to use me as a knife. The Wuxiang Society is really 'bold'."

Thinking of this, Gao Muming curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"But the Wuxiang Society's clever move also gave me some new clues: Among the people that Satomi Rentaro was looking for to collect intelligence, there were people from the Wuxiang Society."

Takagi Akira looked at Rentaro Satomi who had an unhappy expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

"The guys from Wuxiang Society were too clever this time, and their scope has been greatly reduced."

Thinking of this, Takagi Akira put the documents on the table, tapping his fingers continuously while looking at Satomi Rentaro.

"Satoshi-kun, is the source of your information reliable?"

Rentaro Satomi nodded heavily.

"The source of the information is the person I trust the most, Mr. Shigaki, the current guardian of me and Kisara-nee."

"What kind of job does Mr. Ziyuan do? He actually got such important news in such a short time. After all, the shoddy workmanship on Monolith No. 32 is no small matter."

Hearing what Takagi Akira said, Chishou Natsuyo, who was curious about the contents of the document, suddenly raised her head and looked at Takagi Akira, because Takagi Akira had just told the Holy Emperor about the shoddy workmanship on the No. 32 giant stone tablet not long ago.

Hearing Takagi Akira's question, Rentaro Satomi, without any suspicion, quickly explained to Takagi Akira the identity of Senichi Shigaki.

"Mr. Shigaki's real name is Shigaki Senichi. He used to be the steward of Tendou Kikunojo and now runs a holmium metal mine."

Hearing Rentaro Satomi's answer, Takagi Akira's smile became even brighter.

"Now we have found the candidate. Should we tell Satomi Rentaro directly? Forget it. I don't think he will listen to my speculation without evidence. The chances of him leaking it to Shigaki Senichi are too high."

"Given the hatred that Tendo Mugen has shown towards the Tendo clan, it is not impossible for him to join an organization that is hostile to the Tendo family and use the power of the Wuxiang Society to deal with the Tendo family."

"Although as the 'protagonist', Rentaro Satomi is unlikely to be a member of the Goshokai, who can say for sure if the author of the apocalyptic novel suddenly has a brainwave and wants to write a dark protagonist?"

"To be on the safe side, let's put this topic aside for now."

After making up his mind, Gao Muming spoke.

"So he is an industry-related person with a huge network of contacts. The information given by Ziyuan Xianyi should be reliable. The focus of future investigations should be on the Tiantong clan."

"But that's all for later. Anyway, now that the research institute has been destroyed by me, the research progress of Wuxianghui should be greatly regressed. There's no need to worry too much for the time being."

"Let's focus on the most important task at hand - the task we took on yesterday to serve as the guard of the Holy Emperor."

Hearing what Takagi Akira said, and thinking of the incident in the morning when he was surrounded by the captain of the Holy Emperor's Guard, Takuto Howaki, Rentaro Satomi spoke up to remind Takagi Akira.

"Speaking of which, you have to be careful. I was previously stopped by a member of the Holy Son of Heaven's Guard and asked to reject this mission. I gave him a lesson after he got so angry that he was embarrassed."

Hearing what Rentaro Satomi said, Takagi Akira laughed

"Are you talking about that bastard Bao Xie Zhuo Ren? Hey, he called me this morning and wanted me to quit, but I called him back."

"I said I was going to the Holy Residence to find Bao Xie Zhuoren, and I was going to teach him a lesson, but why didn't I find him in the Holy Residence? Instead, I came to you to ask for trouble."
