Chapter 251 Tokyo Gourmet 31
"Ahem... I didn't mean anything by it, I was just a little surprised."
Takatsuki Sen sensed the dissatisfaction in Gojo Satoru's words and quickly offered an explanation.
No wonder she didn't believe it; it was just too unbelievable.
She wouldn't be so surprised if Kishou Arima had become the director of the CCG.
After all, Arima has the ability, the record, the seniority and the connections. He should be the one to be the director, right?
Gojo Satoru is strong, but how long has he been a member of the CCG?
Moreover, as far as she knew, Gojo Satoru often slacked off at work and had hardly ever been to the CCG building.
How could someone like him become the director? Are the people in the CCG crazy?
"Hmph! What's so surprising? I'm the strongest, nothing is impossible for me."
Gojo Satoru said arrogantly that he would have someone nominate him as the bureau chief when he got back.
Although the new director has not yet been decided, he has already made up his mind to become the director.
If anyone disagrees, there's no need to keep them; let them go home and stay there.
So there's absolutely nothing wrong with him saying this now. He is the new director of the CCG, and whether or not to negotiate is entirely up to him.
"Ah, yes, yes... You're the best. I need to go back and think about the negotiations. Goodbye."
Takatsuki Sen replied dismissively, not wanting to continue her pointless chatter with Gojo Satoru.
Since this is true, she naturally needs to go back and discuss the negotiation with Tatara.
"Alright, you can go now." Gojo Satoru casually waved his hand, letting Takatsuki Sen leave.
After thinking about it, he decided not to go to the CCG headquarters and went home instead.
The entire Washuu family is dead; we need to give Marude and the others some time to process this.
It's almost dawn now, so of course I should go home and sleep. I'll deal with work later tonight.
-
The atmosphere inside CCG's headquarters building became extremely heavy.
No one expected that CCG's Chairman Tsuneyoshi Wasu and all his family members would die mysteriously last night.
Director Washuu also sacrificed himself in the battle against the Owl, and the Washuu family was wiped out overnight.
This incident caused great turmoil within the CCG and even triggered some panic.
Marude Sai could only try to calm everyone down first, and then send someone to investigate the matter.
He couldn't help but rub his throbbing temples. What on earth was going on?
The Hexiu clan was wiped out overnight. Who had the power to do such a thing?
Could this have been done by a ghoul? But as far as he knew, there weren't any ghouls that powerful in Tokyo.
The Hexiu clan was incredibly powerful, yet they were wiped out so easily; it's truly unbelievable.
After the battle against the Owls ended, Yukinori Shinohara was seriously injured and lay unconscious in the hospital, while the others were also injured to varying degrees.
There are too few capable senior executives in the CCG now, so all the work has fallen on his shoulders, leaving him overwhelmed.
At this point, Gojo Satoru has disappeared again.
He was getting angrier and angrier. No way, he had to drag Gojo Satoru back to work today!
He immediately called Hiroshi Fujiwara and asked him to find Satoru Gojo and bring him back to work.
Hiroshi Fujiwara: "..." I don't know where Mr. Gojo is either. What should I do if I can't find him?
Marude Sai: Hmph, you don't need to come back if you can't find him!
-
Three days later, in the conference room at CCG headquarters.
Takatsuki Sen sat on the right side of the conference table with Tatara and a few others, opposite Marutei Sai and the Special Investigators.
Gojo Satoru sat in the central seat, presiding over today's meeting.
Marude Sai and the others glared at the ghouls opposite them with grim expressions. Apart from Arima Kishou, the others were all injured.
Gojo Satoru rose to power through ruthless means; he would beat anyone who opposed him as director until they submitted.
Marude Sai wasn't really against Gojo Satoru becoming the director, since he was stronger than everyone else and it made sense for him to be the director.
So he avoided the initial beating, but he opposed Gojo Satoru's proposal to negotiate and reconcile with the ghouls after taking over.
Then he was beaten up like this, with his right hand bandaged around his neck, three broken ribs, and a broken left leg.
But he still disagreed, believing that humans and ghouls could not coexist.
He wasn't the only one who thought this way; his colleagues thought the same, except for Kishou Arima.
But the various revelations that Gojo Satoru later made stunned them.
The news that the entire Washuu family, which founded the CCG, is full of ghouls is truly astonishing.
This news shattered their worldview; the CCG, which was supposed to fight ghouls, was actually founded by ghouls—it was ridiculous.
The following section discusses how Gojo Satoru describes humans being transformed into ghouls, and how the CCG developed "artificial food" that ghouls could consume.
Neither of these two pieces of news could compare to the shock they received from the matter of the Heshu family; they also learned the truth about the massacre of the Heshu clan.
The culprits were not the ghouls they suspected, but rather Gojo Satoru and Arima Kishou.
Arima Kishou is actually half-human. He betrayed the Washuu family in order to create a world where humans and ghouls can coexist peacefully.
Marude Sai and the others had very mixed feelings, as today's meeting was brought about by a variety of factors.
Most importantly, even if they disagree, Gojo Satoru will not cancel today's negotiations.
Marude Sai couldn't help but get angry at the thought. Gojo Satoru was clearly human, yet he was siding with the ghouls.
Does this brat not know which side he's on? They're the ones in this group, okay?
"Alright, the meeting is starting. Now, everyone, please give your opinions," Gojo Satoru said dismissively.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved to Fujiwara beside him, and in the blink of an eye, a pile of desserts appeared on the table.
Marutei and the others: "..."
Takatsuki Izumi and others: "..."
Gojo Satoru ignored them. It wasn't his meeting today, so what was wrong with having some dessert?
"Hello everyone, as you can see, we are here today with sincerity."
Takatsuki Sen spoke first, and her sincerity was evident in the fact that none of them were wearing masks today.
They arrived at CCG headquarters in their true appearance.
"Our goal as the Aogiri Tree has always been singular: to create a world where humans and ghouls can coexist peacefully."
"Ha, peaceful coexistence? Your words have no credibility. Ghouls and humans are born to be enemies."
Marude Sai sneered. He didn't believe the ghouls' talk of peace; humans were food for ghouls.
"Why would you, who are born to eat people, have such thoughts? Can you tell us the reason, Ms. Takatsuki?"
The people of the Green Paulownia Tree were not wearing masks, so they naturally recognized who the leader was.
Takatsuki Sen, in the human world, is a famous writer and also the leader of the Aogiri Tree.
It's quite surprising that she even visited CCG's headquarters not long ago.
However, given that the entire Washu clan are ghouls, they are relatively accepting of it.
