When Kamo Kenichiro announced that Kenmyo would inherit the Kamo Family and become the next head, he omitted the surname.
That was deliberate.
Although Kenmyo had been designated as the next head of the Kamo Family and gained legitimacy, he absolutely did not want to bear the name "Kamo"!
He felt that those two characters were unworthy of him.
They were not worthy of Kenmyo!
When this family mercilessly abandoned the young Kenmyo and his elder sister Sakura, the Kamo Family had already died in his heart.
Why should they be high and mighty, casually deciding others' fates?
Therefore, Kenmyo returned today to reclaim the justice from back then; the youngster they once looked down upon had grown to be far more powerful than any of them, and now the Kamo Family was completely under Kenmyo's control.
After tonight, the name Kenmyo will be renowned throughout the Jujutsu World.
Everyone will want to know who he truly is? What he looks like, whether he is male or female,
He was actually able to completely overturn the former patriarch's decision to designate his son, Kamo Noritoshi, as the next head, and become the next head of the Kamo Family, one of The Big Three Families of the Jujutsu World.
The outside world might be frantically searching for his information, frantically collecting it, but Kenmyo simply did not care; let them search, he was not afraid of being investigated.
Don't they even look at who is the youngest Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer in the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association right now?
Kenmyo, his only surname is Isayama.
One should not forget the well-digger when drinking water; no matter how strong (or bad) Kenmyo became, he would not forget this—when they were weak and helpless, it was his mother's clan that took in him and his sister.
If the current timing were not yet ripe, Kenmyo would definitely stage a scene of "Are kings, nobles, and generals born into their positions?"
Why are there only The Big Three Families in the Jujutsu World? For a thousand years, like iron, only those three families existed; no other families could sit in their place.
And no one stipulated that only the Isayama Family could merge into the Kamo Family, and not the Kamo Family into the Isayama Family.
However, all these things can only be implemented when the time is right; currently, Kenmyo still needs the "tiger skin" of the Kamo Family to achieve certain goals.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerer, they might not recognize Kenmyo, but they recognize the Kamo Family crest.
Although it is regrettable, the Kamo Family indeed has more deterrent power and a greater reputation than Kenmyo.
After all, they, along with the Zenin Family and Gojo Family, have maintained a high-pressure rule over the Jujutsu World for a thousand years; everyone in the world knows them.
Who would have thought that the Kamo Family, a prosperous family that has endured for a thousand years, would be annihilated overnight, with the only remaining bloodline being Kenmyo, who can still continue the family's lineage.
Kenmyo's technique only allows people to die and revive, continuing to work for him, but the outcome of death does not change.
This means that everyone will remain in the stage of their own death; time will pause and not continue to flow.
Whether it's growth and development, birth, aging, sickness, and death, all of it has moved away from them.
In the entire history of the Kamo Family, Kenmyo is but an infant, yet it is ironic that the entire family was instead ruined by one of its own descendants.
If the Kamo Family's ancestor, Emperor Sutoku, one of the Four Great Curses of Japan, were to know, he would probably jump out of his seal.
Inside the Kamo Family compound, there was a large hall, similar to a dojo, that could accommodate two thousand people simultaneously. It was brightly lit and bustling with people, looking very lively.
However, it was extremely quiet inside, not a single sound, and the outside of this dojo was covered by a high-level barrier, preventing outsiders from hearing or seeing anything happening inside.
Until Kenmyo's words broke this silence; though his voice was not loud, it could be heard everywhere in the dojo.
"Is everyone here?"
Kenmyo gazed at the nearly one thousand people before him; they were all the current Jujutsu Sorcerer of the Kamo Family, each and every one kneeling before Kenmyo, in seiza.
Their composition included one hundred eighty-nine Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers, three hundred fifty Second-Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers, and four hundred eighty-nine Third-Grade Jujutsu Jujutsu Sorcerer. (Fourth Grade Jujutsu Jujutsu Sorcerer and reserve Jujutsu Sorcerer were not included.)
This number was the most accurate for the Kamo Family, known only to successive family heads, and was also the exact number of Jujutsu Sorcerer in their rival family, the Kamo Family, that the Zenin Family and Gojo Family eagerly wanted to know.
When so many Jujutsu Sorcerer appeared before him, Kenmyo was initially startled by this terrifying number.
The number of Kamo Family Jujutsu Sorcerer Kenmyo saw now, no exaggeration, was even greater than the number of Jujutsu Sorcerer the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association had previously sent for support.
How could there be so many Jujutsu Sorcerer? The Kamo Family must have been cheating... But on second thought, although Blood Manipulation was considerably more mediocre in its jujutsu effects compared to the Gojo Family's Limitless and the Zenin Family's Ten Shadows Technique,
the difficulty of using the Kamo Family's technique compared to the other two families' techniques was not just one degree simpler, but an entire dimension simpler.
Limitless requires precise manipulation by the Six Eyes, and the Ten Shadows Technique requires the Jujutsu Sorcerer themselves to risk their lives to subjugate Shikigami. (External help is forbidden, and the Sorcerer mortality rate is extremely high.)
Blood Manipulation does not require heavy bleeding; it only needs a finger prick or can be practiced during certain special periods, greatly reducing the difficulty. This achieved the assembly line conditions for mass production and training of Jujutsu Sorcerer, so the number of Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers in the Kamo Family far exceeded that of the Gojo Family and Zenin Family.
Now, all of them had become a boon for Kenmyo; no matter what power or status they possessed in life, they were all Kenmyo's subordinates.
For example, beside Kamo Kenichiro, several white-haired old men also sat kneeling; they were all elders and high-ranking members of the Kamo Family, some of whom were even representatives of the stable faction within the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association, yet they could not escape the effects of Kenmyo's Holy Blood Myriad Trillion Death Great Burial Formation and similarly became his servants.
"Yes, your subordinates, a total of one thousand thirty-four people, one thousand thirty-four present, all accounted for, with no absences."
These Jujutsu Sorcerer, once the pride of the Kamo Family, all knelt on the ground and answered Kenmyo's question in unison, with great respect.
"Please inspect us, Young Master!"
Kenmyo had unified their address; it was simply better for all of them to call him Young Master.
In this environment, Kenmyo's heart couldn't help but beat faster, and a strange feeling arose within him.
He finally understood why so many leaders enjoyed standing on stage and speaking to so many employees below them.
Perhaps it was for this absolute command, where no one dared to defy him.
Moreover, employees are not that humble in front of their leaders; Kenmyo's treatment was already comparable to ancient emperors, with subjects bowing in submission below him.
"Everyone, raise your heads."
Kenmyo was also very generous, allowing these servants to look directly at their master's face.
"Some of you might have only just met me today, but none of that matters."
After receiving permission, these Jujutsu Sorcerer slowly raised their heads to look at the very front, at the future commander of the Kamo Family, the one who would lead them.
"You can do anything you want, and communicate with the outside world as you always have, without needing to consider me."
Kenmyo said slowly.
"Everyone must live their original lives and not show the slightest abnormality."
The operation of the Kamo Family was like a vast, precise machine. Every Sorcerer present was a crucial component or screw in the Kamo Family's operation, indispensable.
How it operated before, it would operate the same way now that Kenmyo was here.
For him, a powerful Kamo Family was a good Kamo Family; Kenmyo could gain more benefits from it.
Thanks to the characteristics of the River of Death, people killed by Kenmyo's Holy Blood Myriad Trillion Death Great Burial Formation could retain their self-awareness, being almost identical to how they were in life, with no changes in personality, thoughts, and so on.
They would not be like walking corpses but living people, and they would not even have any memory of Kenmyo killing them.
The only two existing differences were that these blood slaves could never betray Kenmyo or perform any harmful actions against him, but conversely, Kenmyo could decide the life and death of each of them.
In terms of simplicity, it was much less effort than the last time Kenmyo had to trick and deceive Fushiguro Toji with a demon blood contract; it required almost no effort, only his Cursed Energy, as the technique operated fully automatically.
It should be known that completely controlling the power of a large family is quite astonishing; the transcendent status of Jujutsu Sorcerer means that the high-ranking members of The Big Three Families almost enjoy the same treatment as high-ranking officials of the Japanese Government.
Their rank is far above that of members of Japan's House of Representatives and House of Councillors, similar to cabinet members.
One can imagine the resources they control, equivalent to a fusion of conglomerates and high-ranking Japanese Government officials; Kenmyo has now also entered this class.
It can be said that his current status is unimaginably respected; Kenmyo can also be a hands-off manager, only needing to receive supplies from his subordinates.
Compared to the resources consumed by the entire Kamo Family in a day, his personal resources are negligible.
It's just that Satoru Gojo, that simpleton, doesn't act as the head of the Gojo Family, instead spending his days at Jujutsu High, being played like a monkey by the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association, constantly rushed around like a firefighter, putting out fires wherever they break out.
And he enjoys it, truly a simpleton.
"Everyone must not harm the interests of the Kamo Family; it will remain as it was before I came."
Wait, Kenmyo suddenly thought of something, and his brow furrowed.
"If any of you are spies sent by other families, stand up immediately."
It was just a casual remark from Kenmyo on a whim, but to his surprise, over a dozen people, about eleven, actually stood up from the crowd!
"So many?"
This number was quite frightening; these people were like invisible nails buried within the Kamo Family, lurking for so long, yet the Kamo Family had not discovered a single one.
Kenmyo turned his gaze to the bald old man on Kamo Kenichiro's left, wearing glasses and holding a sword in his arms.
This seemingly murderous old man was Kamo Kenbei, the actual controller of the Kamo Family's intelligence and special agencies, as well as the "Punishment Army," the organization responsible for apprehending traitors.
With so many traitors appearing within the family, he was primarily responsible.
"Young Master, these ungrateful dogs were discovered by my people, the earliest a year ago, the latest half a year ago."
Some of these people were bought off by the Zenin Family, the Gojo Family, some notorious curse user groups, the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association, and even the Japanese Government's shadow was among them.
This is also normal; you send spies to me, and I send spies to you; it's mutual.
As Kamo Kenbei recounted, Kenmyo understood.
It wasn't that their Punishment Army didn't arrest people, but rather that they cleverly used these individuals to transmit various false messages, thereby making them continue to contribute to the Kamo Family without their knowledge.
Furthermore, if these familiar "nails" were removed, then enemy forces would send new "nails" to be embedded within the Kamo Family, which would then require a large amount of manpower and resources to uncover.
Retaining the existence of these people could save a lot of expenses and transmit some false or irrelevant information.
Now it seemed Kenmyo didn't need to be clever; these elders had prepared everything in meticulous detail.
Thinking of this, Kenmyo no longer occupied the time of the majority of these people; after all, managing such a large family, they were the professionals.
If he, an amateur, were to dictate, the efficiency might be greatly reduced.
"Everyone, I have one last thing to say."
Kenmyo picked up the megaphone and said fiercely.
"Our family does not support idlers."
"Anyone who opposes us, let them fend for themselves."
Everyone's faces brightened.
"Except for the elders, everyone else is dismissed!"
Soon, these people exited in an orderly fashion, returning to their respective posts.
Kenmyo continued to ask the elders who were actually in control of the Kamo Family,
"How much income does our family have per year?"
Kenmyo had just taken over the family and didn't know many things, requiring these elders to answer.
And family assets were an unavoidable topic; only with money in hand could anything be done.
"Reporting to the Young Master."
Kamo Kenzei, the elder in charge of finance, replied,
"Our family has five gold mines, four iron mines, eleven coal mines, five offshore oil fields, ten listed companies on NASDAQ in the United States, seventy-five listed companies in Japan, land tax revenue from Ginza, Tokyo, shop revenue, and so on."
"After deducting labor and cost effects, as well as the impact of the overall economic environment, the family's actual net profit is approximately 45 billion US dollars per year."
"The currently available balance in the family's account is 245.67 billion US dollars."
"The family vault also holds gold bricks and various antiques and paintings worth 40 billion US dollars."
Kamo Kenzei answered Kenmyo very fluently; as a family that has existed for a thousand years, it would be abnormal not to have so much cash on hand.
"Young Master?"
He finished his report, but Kenmyo had no reaction, as if he had simply frozen.
Kenmyo was completely bewildered by the huge string of numbers; what the hell, can a family make so much money?
Kenmyo had worked himself to death until now and had only saved a little over 200,000 yen, and that was Japanese yen; it really makes you angry when you compare yourself to others.
His relatives were originally so wealthy.
Good heavens, with so much money back then, they couldn't even afford to raise two children?
Shaking with cold anger.
Kenmyo's hands were trembling; these damned capitalists.
From today onwards, Kenmyo might be the richest student at Aoyama Academy.
He picked up the phone, skillfully dialed a number, and said,
"Sis, our family is rich now."
Isayama Yomi on the other end of the phone paused for a second; last time he said he saw an angel.
This time he said their family was rich; what was going on with her brother lately?
Kenmyo did not answer; with so much wealth, it meant that his poor Life-Shaping Empress could finally have a full meal.
Well, after living so long with a tight belt, he had finally made it through.
Eat, eat to your heart's content.
Kenmyo didn't believe that with wealth comparable to a nation, he couldn't feed the Life-Shaping Empress to the next stage, the growth phase!
"Young Master, there's one more thing."
"The Zenin Family, the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association, and the Gojo Family are all asking if that thing can be mass-produced."
Kamo Kenji, who was in charge of external liaison, asked,
"Their calls have all come to me; they're incredibly anxious!"
Kenmyo's mouth couldn't stop curving upwards when he thought of so much money.
When he heard his subordinate's question, he said,
"No hurry, calm down."
Something that could make these guys, who don't let go of a hawk until they see a rabbit, so excited.
Kenmyo naturally knew what it was.
It was the bait he had cast earlier; these people had taken the hook.
"Let them show their sincerity, then we can talk."
