A faint yet incredibly tenacious "fire of survival," originating from the deepest part of her soul and belonging to her alone, suddenly ignited in her heart!

The flames, along with Eriri's "Light of Hope," Caster's "Wind of Life," Sakura's "Guardian Heart," and Kanade's "Song of Sorrow" filled with "Resonance," merged perfectly together at this moment!

Boom—! !!! ...

An unprecedented, brilliant, and warm "light" capable of completely purifying all darkness erupted from Mizuno Ai's body in an instant, completely evaporating and purifying all the malicious and filthy "mental pollution" from "Jok"!

……

When everything has settled down.

Ai Mizuno slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes were no longer empty and despairing, but filled with a clear light, like someone waking from a dream, full of gratitude and rebirth.

She looked at the four girls in front of her, who, though exhausted, wore the most sincere and warm smiles on their faces, and at the mysterious man who had been standing quietly to the side the whole time, watching everything with a kingly, absolute, and playful gaze.

She slowly stood up from the cold, hard alloy floor.

Then, he bowed deeply to Wu Lu and the others.

"—Thank you."

"Thank you for pulling me out of that endless, cold nightmare..."

"—They were rescued."

255 King's Pieces and New Family

Faced with Mizuno Ai's sincere gratitude, which was full of "new life," Gu Chuan simply nodded calmly.

His deep black eyes gazed silently at the beautiful yet incredibly fragile "soul" who had just crawled out of the abyss of despair. He spoke slowly in a flat tone, devoid of any emotion, as if stating an objective fact.

"--save?"

"No, I am not that great."

"I am just a stingy collector who doesn't like his collection being dirtied by other players."

He paused, then extended to her the right hand of God, representing "domination" and "creation."

"—So, now it's your turn. Come on, make your choice, Mizuno Ai."

"Yes, back to your stage, filled with flowers and '480' applause, yet fragile, vulnerable, and fake, and then, waiting for the next, even more interesting game from Jok."

"still……"

At that moment, a hint of absolute, unquestionable domineering power, belonging to a "king," flashed in his black eyes.

"—Discard your past, which has long since become meaningless, and become a brand new family member in my little zoo, full of monsters and surprises."

Ai Mizuno looked at the god-like man who had extended the hand of "destiny" to her, and then at the four beautiful "family members" behind him who were giving her the warmest and most sincere smiles.

Her heart, already riddled with wounds from the cold reality and cruel betrayal, was now completely filled with an unprecedented, burning emotion called "warmth."

She hesitated almost without any hesitation.

Slowly, she extended her slightly trembling, fair, and slender hand and gently placed it in that warm palm, which was filled with a sense of "kingly" authority, absolute and unquestionable, yet unexpectedly made her feel incredibly at ease.

"--I……"

At this moment, her once empty and beautiful eyes shed two lines of crystal-clear, hot tears, filled with the joy of "new life."

"—I do."

……

When Gu Chuan, along with his "expert team" that had successfully performed the "soul surgery" and exuded a "healing" aura, and a national-level "idol star" who could drive any country's entertainment media crazy, returned to that warm and noisy apartment, a brand-new "family storm" filled with "shock" and "disbelief" was about to unfold once again!

"—Mizuno Ai?! Yes, that, the living, moving, real Mizuno Ai?!"

Leone was the first to let out a gasp of disbelief and fervor, like a fan! Like a big cat that had just spotted its favorite plush toy, she instinctively wanted to pounce on it and beg for a warm, loving hug!

Rin Tohsaka, on the other hand, acted like a highly professional and calm "housekeeper," firmly holding back her "pet" that was about to go berserk. Her jewel-like red eyes, however, were filled with a complex mix of "shock" and "headache."

She looked at the legendary "national idol" who was timidly hiding behind Gu Chuan, and then at her own small, overburdened "family ledger." Her "genius" brain, always full of confidence and pride, fell into a long, deep contemplation for the first time about "how to support an entire reinforced platoon of terrifying family members, filled with powerful figures and gods, without filing for bankruptcy."

However, just as the apartment was engulfed in a warm atmosphere filled with both chaos and ecstasy due to the arrival of this "new family member"—

On the huge holographic projection screen in the center of the living room, an urgent news broadcast from the local area was like a bucket of cold, malicious snow water, instantly extinguishing all the laughter and joy.

"—Breaking news from this station."

"At 3:00 AM today, Mr. Kenji Sato, CEO of the Sato Group, the largest business empire in our city, was found to have mysteriously committed suicide by jumping from his heavily guarded office on the top floor of the financial center. No signs of homicide were found at the scene. Police have preliminarily determined that the suicide was due to long-term, immense business pressure leading to depression."

"And just recently, the Sato Group announced an unprecedented business merger with its biggest competitor, the Suzuki Group, a merger that would reshape the entire industry. And the real, behind-the-scenes controller of the Suzuki Group is none other than [the entity that] recently underwent internal strife..."

And, the mysteriously missing, Chairman Suzuki's only, and most mysterious, illegitimate son—"

"—Jok."

On the news screen, a blurry, specially processed black-and-white photograph appeared, exuding an air of "mystery."

Above the photo is a mysterious man dressed in a flamboyant, purple suit with an obscured face, dressed in a style reminiscent of a clown.

He simply stood there quietly.

An absolute malice, filled with "chaos" and "madness," capable of sending chills down anyone's spine, seemed to pierce through the cold screen and rush towards you!

The apartment fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's gaze instinctively turned to their only "king," who had been quietly watching the news the whole time.

Gu Chuan looked at the ugly "clown" on the screen, which was full of "provocation," and then at the huge holographic map of the city. The red coordinate 0.3 representing the "Sato Group" had just gone out, and the new, even bigger red coordinate representing the "Suzuki Foundation" was flashing wildly, full of "victory."

He slowly raised the corners of his cold, beautiful mouth.

"—Checkmate?"

He murmured softly in a voice only he could hear.

"--interesting."

"It seems that this game, which was full of fun, has finally begun to, just a little bit..."

At this moment, his black eyes were completely covered by a cold, indifferent killing intent, the kind that only a hunter would have when he was about to begin a real counterattack.

"This is going to be challenging."

256 King's Chess Game, the Time to Flip the Table

As the black-and-white photograph of "Jok," filled with "malice" and "madness," slowly disappeared from the giant holographic projection screen, the deathly silence in the apartment's living room was shattered by a crisp, angry sound—the shattering of a glass.

"--asshole!"

Rin Tohsaka looked at the bank draft, which had long since become meaningless due to "financial freedom," and then at the news about the pathetic "business CEO" who had just been driven to suicide by jumping off a building. Her jewel-like red eyes, which were always full of confidence and pride, were now completely ignited by an absolute and unchallengeable anger called "King"!

"That damn clown! Is he... declaring war on us?!"

"No, Rin."

Gu Chuan slowly stood up from the sofa.

As he gazed at the enormous 06 city holographic map, at the huge red coordinate point representing the "Suzuki Foundation" that was flashing wildly and filled with "victory," the cold, cruel smile on his face, brimming with the "hunter's" intent, grew even more intense.

"—He is not declaring war."

"He was just inviting me, in his own wicked, self-righteous, and ridiculous way, to continue playing an even more interesting game with him."

"He ate one of my insignificant soldiers."

"Then, he placed himself, that malice-filled queen, in the most conspicuous, most central position on the chessboard."

"He's here, waiting for me to make the next move."

“He is here, waiting for me to go and save those pitiful pawns who were taken hostage by him, according to the rules he set.”

"Then, we admire ourselves on that stage, created by him, filled with powerless, pathetic, and amusing struggles."

Listening to those cold, emotionless, calm words, as if they were explaining a game of chess that had nothing to do with them.

All the girls present subconsciously felt a chill that emanated from the deepest part of their souls.

They could clearly sense it.

That perpetually languid "headmistress," seemingly uninterested in anything in the world, was, at this moment, truly—

He got angry.

"—Then, Master." Najenda slowly stepped forward, her sharp, single eye, filled with the air of a "leader," flashing with an unprecedented, chilling light called "war." "Give the order."

"The Black Dragon Society, with its three thousand members, is already fully prepared and ready to go."

"With just your command, we will, tonight, completely raze that so-called Suzuki Group to the ground!"

"No, that's too slow."

Gu Chuan slowly shook his head.

Looking at the group of powerful and beautiful "family members" before him, who had long since become united in their hatred of the "provocative" malice, he slowly spoke and announced his new "rules of the game," which were full of "kingly" authority, absolute and unquestionable.

"—He wants to play chess with me."

"can."

"but……"

He paused, and at that moment, his dark eyes were completely enveloped by a cold, indifferent, and absolutely domineering aura that could overturn the entire chessboard.

"I don't like to play those boring, calculated, and ridiculous games of chess according to other people's rules."

"I prefer to do it my own way..."

"That arrogant, condescending chess player, along with his malicious, filthy chessboard, all of them..."

"—It was overturned."

……

This time, the "game" is neither "hunting" nor "sweeping".

Rather, it was a one-sided conflict originating from the "King"—yes, another, a reckless "false king" who dared to challenge the "King's" authority.

"—Trial!"

An unprecedented "monster army," capable of utterly crushing a modern, medium-sized country on the front lines, has officially assembled under Gu Chuan's absolute will, filled with the power of a "king"!

—Yura Chitose and Butler A, "Airi," will serve as the absolute "eyes" of this "judgment." They will utilize all their "intelligence networks" and "computing power" to provide the most precise and undefendable "information" support for the impending "war"!

—Najendam, and her Black Dragon Society, which has long since unified the entire underworld, will serve as the strongest "wall" for this "judgment." They will be responsible for sealing off the entire "battlefield," ensuring that not a single "fly" that shouldn't be there will disturb the magnificent "feast" that is about to begin, belonging to the "King"!

And that, responsible for executing the final "judgment," is the only, and also the most unreasonable, "sharp blade"—

Gu Chuan turned his gaze to the pair of cold, indifferent golden vertical pupils that had stood quietly in the corner from beginning to end. These pupils, however, were already ignited with a raging, destructive fury, the fury of a tyrant, because of the provocation filled with malice.

"—The King of Black Knights"

"—Artoria."

"Yes, Master."

"Tonight, I will prepare a brand new, more magnificent, and more interesting stage for you."

“I allow you to vent all your tyranny as king in that filthy castle, filled with sin.”

"I only want one result."

He gazed into those beautiful, golden, vertical pupils that were already ravenously thirsty and filled with a desire for "destruction," and slowly, he issued his final, absolute, and icy command, brimming with the authority of a "king."

"—Before dawn."

"I want that... headquarters building of the so-called Suzuki Group..."

"To disappear completely from this city."

"Not even a single speck of dust is allowed to remain."

257 The King's Judgment, Prelude

That night, the blood moon was silent.

The Suzuki Group's headquarters building, like a black sword piercing the night, exuding modernity and arrogance, stands silently in the heart of the city's financial center. It is a symbol of the city's wealth and power, the culmination of countless elites' dreams, and the starting point for the desires of countless ambitious individuals.
