Chapter 36 Why Did She Go to All That Trouble?
Although Ryoko Yakushiji's report was very convincing, and her testimony may have been prepared in advance, her intuition told her that something unknown must have happened between Ryoko and Sharon during the time they were held hostage.
Only in this way can Yakushiji Ryoko's current abnormal state be explained.
As for why Yakushiji Ryoko was slightly corrupted by demonic power, Tachibana Kirika also had a clue: "The Truth Astronomy Organization is a recognized organization of demon sorcerers, but that doesn't mean that the demon hunters who oppose them don't have corresponding methods. This has given me a reminder."
Thinking of this, Tachibana Kirika glanced in the direction of the bathroom and chuckled softly.
She never intended to expose Yakushiji Ryoko, even though the two had always been at odds.
Even if we expose her now and cause her to lose power, what difference will it make?
Even if Yakushiji Ryoko is eliminated, the Yakushiji family will not be grateful to her, and the Metropolitan Police Department will not award her.
Since there's no benefit to it, why bother?
Wouldn't it be more worthwhile to hold this leverage and force Yakushiji Ryoko to make compromises that are in our favor at a crucial moment?
"The adult world is never just about feelings."
With a cigarette dangling from her lips, Tachibana Mizuki walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department as quietly and calmly as a black cat.
She also had to rush to finish a report to explain to the young lady behind her why she used the "Kusanagi Sword," and she didn't have time to get entangled with Yakushiji Ryoko.
"But speaking of which, how did Luo Tian manage to force Sharon to back down? Did I underestimate him a bit?"
Torn between giving Luo Tian more tasks and worrying that being too hasty would backfire, Tachibana Kiri walked into the parking lot and drove away amidst these complicated thoughts.

Back in the apartment building, Luo Tian entered through the fingerprint lock, took the elevator to the third floor, and quickly arrived at the door of room 303.
As Luo Tian pressed the fingerprint lock to open the door, he took out his phone and glanced at the time: "11:32, it's almost midnight."
Looking back on this busy day, Luo Tian couldn't help but sigh.
"I have to go to school during the day, and then I have to figure out how to persuade Nangong Nayue to tutor me and Shiyu. After tutoring, I have to participate in the operation to capture Sharon..."
Thinking about his first time participating in a task for the SDS department tonight, Luo Tian couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Although he was the main force in the early stages and had a one-on-one fight with Sharon in the narrow corridor of the villa, the situation later turned into a joint attack on Sharon by the SDS and the Metropolitan Police Department.
Of course, thanks to his secret help, Sharon, who was supposed to be arrested, was not only not caught, but also managed to counterattack Ryoko Yakushiji and break through the encirclement to escape successfully.
Luo Tian silently complained to himself, but he didn't regret helping Sharon at all.
If it had been Tachibana Kirika who was directing things on-site, and it had been Nishiki Chizuka and Inoue Takina who took action, he probably wouldn't have intervened.
However, Ryoko Yakushiji's interference completely changed the SDS's original plan to capture Sharon, and he became the one who secretly hoped Sharon would escape.
That's why Luo Tian was able to secretly help Sharon break through the encirclement head-on. Although his actions were a bit aggressive, no one died. At most, someone was shot.
Speaking of which, the trace amount of succubus blood that Yakushiji Ryoko was forced to consume could be linked to the Demon Heart, but this connection could probably only be used once or twice if it wasn't continuously strengthened.
Tsk, an heiress of a large conglomerate, only useful once? Should we find an opportunity to further corrupt her?
Luo Tian naturally wouldn't be polite to Yakushiji Ryoko, a woman whose first impression was extremely bad; he would make the most of her every opportunity.
After all, Luo Tian considered himself a petty person. Although he wouldn't kill someone just because of a single arrogant remark, he was still capable of secretly tripping them up.
Should we try having Yakushiji Ryoko investigate the sealed demon that Yakushiji Managing Director is targeting?
After thinking about it, I decided against it. Sharon was already investigating the matter, and it seemed a bit of a waste to use Yakushiji Ryoko so soon after the succubus blood took effect.
With this in mind, Luo Tian walked into the apartment, took off his shoes in the entryway, and was about to change into indoor slippers when his gaze suddenly fell on the neatly arranged purple high heels to the side.
"These shoes...could it be...?"
A subtle guess popped into Luo Tian's mind. He quickly changed into slippers and hurried towards the living room.
When Luo Tian saw the woman on the sofa with her head resting on cushions and her long orange hair casually scattered, he was both amused and exasperated.
"No way, she's been at my house all day?"
That's right, the woman lying asleep on the sofa is none other than Tsubakihara Mira, who lives next door to Luo Tian and is also his landlady.
"While coming home to find such a beautiful woman sleeping in my house was a pleasant surprise, it wasn't the kind of surprise I was looking for at all..."
Luo Tian scratched his head, looking helpless.
It goes without saying that Tsubakihara Mira's family is keeping a close eye on her whereabouts. For one thing, there are several female bodyguards living in this apartment building to protect the young lady.
With that in mind, it was impossible to keep the fact that Tsubakihara Mira was sleeping in her own house a secret.
So most likely, in the eyes of those tycoon bosses and the Tsubakihara family, he has become someone who has climbed up to this young lady by being a hero and saving her.
Upon considering this possibility, Luo Tian was momentarily at a loss for words.
To be honest, there was nothing to be happy about; but to be unhappy, the fact that such a beautiful woman was so close to him without any guard up made Luo Tian feel a little secretly pleased.
"I'm really scared of you."
Luo Tian sighed, walked over and squatted down next to the sofa. He put his hands under the other person's back and knees and gently lifted the person up.
He had expected it to take some effort, but he found himself lifting the person up effortlessly. Luo Tian couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I didn't expect them to be so light..."
Luo Tian seriously suspected that the woman in his arms weighed at most a little over fifty kilograms, yet her figure was so slender, but her curves were exceptionally outstanding.
Luo Tian's gaze drifted unconsciously for a moment, then quickly returned to his nose. The scent of shower gel lingered in his nostrils; it was the one he was most familiar with.
Could this woman have taken a shower in my bathroom?
Luo Tian was startled and quickly looked away, cursing himself for having lustful thoughts but lacking the courage to act on them. He then carried Tsubakihara Mira toward the study.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I don't like taking advantage of others in their time of need."
Muttering excuses to himself, Luo Tian slowly carried the person in his arms into the study.
Luo Tian's study always had a single bed and personal items. In the past, when he got tired of playing computer games in the study, he would just rest here.
After all, she was his own family member, and Luo Tian couldn't just let Miss Mira sleep on the sofa forever. If he did that, his conscience wouldn't allow it.
He kicked the blanket off and gently placed her on the bed. Considering that Tsubakihara Mira was wearing a casual dress, Luo Tian didn't plan to help her change. He simply covered her with the blanket and then quietly left the room.
As the door closed gently, Tsubakihara Mira, who was lying on the bed, immediately opened her eyes, glanced in the direction of the door, gasped for breath, and said in a low voice, "That scared me to death."
