Because she was European-American, Dorothy's information was quickly found.
Her parents were executives at a foreign company, transferred to the country a year ago due to work.
What surprised Zhoufang Youxi a little was that
the company her parents worked for had business dealings with other industries of the Suo Fang family.
This made the girl feel a chill down her spine.
If, because of Dorothy, the entire family were to be invaded by the Soul-Snatchers, that outcome would be too terrifying.
"Lord God, does she meet the conditions for a contracted retainer?"
Yurikawa Hana asked.
Rosen shook his head.
Although contracting a retainer didn't depend on the other party's aptitude, Dorothy didn't meet his requirements.
On one hand, the life tree had no reaction, and on the other hand, this little one was too young, and her mental level was just normal for her age. Plus, she had been sealed by the evil spirit for so long, and now all she wanted was to go home and reunite with her parents.
If she were as precocious as Xiaoxiao, Rosen might have kept her, but reality was as it was.
"Alright, this child looks so pitiful."
Yurikawa Hana sighed.
Then she wrote down her phone number and gave it to the girl.
"If you have any worries, just call this number, okay?"
Then, Zhoufang Youxi took her away first, and once other family members arrived, Dorothy would be sent directly home.
"Xiao Hua, the number you gave that child isn't a dessert delivery number, is it?"
Yotsuya Miko whispered.
After all, there had been such a precedent before.
Previously, Yurikawa Hana had saved a child from drowning, acting like a caring older sister, even thoughtfully giving her phone number and saying the same words.
However, when asked afterwards, Yurikawa Hana replied, "Doesn't eating sweet cake make all your worries fly away?"
"How could that be? Am I that kind of person?"
Yurikawa Hana said incredulously.
"Never mind, let's leave it at that."
Yotsuya Miko didn't intend to dig deeper.
Since she left her number, she and Xiao Hua could occasionally visit in the future.
"Everyone, go back. There are still matters concerning the Shindai family that haven't been dealt with."
Hearing this, Shindai Aiyi's heart tightened.
After erasing the divine power residue from the area, Rosen returned to the Shindai family through that door.
....
The Shindai family was still in chaos at this time.
The family head, Shindai Sougen, had died, whether by suicide or from a contract backlash, leaving the remaining clansmen in a panic. However, there were also a few who planned to fish in troubled waters, hoping to seize power.
A lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
In the past, the entire family was Shindai Sougen's absolute domain, and he was a man of his word.
Now, even if they could snatch just a tiny bit of benefit, they could eat their fill.
However, before they could even prepare, they encountered a group of uninvited guests in the temple dedicated to Taisui Xingjun.
A combination of a young man and several young women.
But some also noticed Shindai Aiyi's presence.
How could this abandoned child of the family, chosen as Taisui Xingjun's bride, appear here?!
Was she back for revenge?
After all, Taisui Xingjun's life and whereabouts were unknown, and Shindai Sougen had committed suicide. At this critical juncture, Shindai Aiyi, who should have been abandoned, appeared in the Shindai family. What this represented was self-evident.
But they didn't dare to question her.
Because the aura emanating from the leading young man made even opening their mouths to speak a luxury.
"Aiyi, who among these are your relatives? Their fate will be decided by you. As for the others…"
Rosen thought for a moment, then spoke to the crowd.
"Who here is in charge?"
"Me."
One person volunteered.
Licking blood from a blade, he went for it!
Then, in the next second, he was controlled by Rosen.
"Speak. How many people know about the Shindai family's contract, and how many have personally participated?"
The core members of the Shindai family were not many.
However, as a family that had existed for over a thousand years, besides the core members of the main branch, other stakeholders involved hundreds of people.
They were involved in almost all sectors: scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants.
And the higher a person's social status, the deeper their connection to the Shindai family.
Since verbal explanation would be troublesome, Rosen directly ordered the person he controlled to compile a list of personnel on a computer.
As a large family, there would certainly be data backups for such connections.
Thus, in less than five minutes, a thick stack of documents was placed before Rosen and the young women.
Rosen merely flipped through a few pages, understanding the situation.
However, the expressions on the faces of the girls surrounding him, upon seeing the personnel list provided by the Shindai family, became increasingly astonished.
From top to bottom, including the Prime Minister, Chief Cabinet Secretary, Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Minister of Finance, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Minister of Justice, Minister of Defense, Minister of the Environment, and almost all high-ranking cabinet officials had financial dealings with the Shindai family.
Not only that, they even knew about the contract between the Shindai family and Taisui Xingjun. However, due to the money, power, and women the Shindai family exchanged with them, as well as the deterrent power of Taisui Xingjun, they gave the Shindai family a green light on almost everything.
Furthermore, in some secret documents, there were also collateral members of the Shindai family who had been placed into high-ranking government positions.
"How can this be? Are all the cabinet ministers in this country involved in financial dealings with the Shindai family?!"
"No wonder this country is getting worse and worse. It turns out it was bought off long ago."
"Even the Prime Minister was bought off, that's outrageous!"
"But it's a good thing the Divine Lord discovered it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"This country must undergo reform!"
The young women were shocked and angry.
Zhoufang Youxi even directly stated that reform was needed.
In fact, Rosen knew that among these government officials, there might also be officials who had been replaced by evil spirits due to Shindai Sougen's relationship with the Soul-Snatchers.
However, these names would not appear on the computer.
If he had killed Shindai Sougen and made his soul scatter back then, it would have been very difficult to trace them.
But ever since he had the Divine Kingdom, Rosen rarely killed people. At most, he would destroy their bodies and stuff their souls into the Divine Kingdom to serve as one of his myriad troops.
This was also the reason he spared Nankobo Tenkai's life earlier.
At most, by tomorrow.
All the Soul-Snatchers would be gathered in one place.
