Chapter 664: Feng Shui and Backlash_2
The director had some doubts in their heart.
"Hmm, of course, we have the land contract, sir, please take a look."
Dorothy swiftly handed over the land contract that she had prepared earlier.
She wasn't worried that the Guard Bureau would destroy or tamper with the land contract, after all, she already knew that the Guard Bureau harbored rebellious intentions and was not aligned with the Heaven's Guard Pavilion.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and this time the Homebody Witch chose to report to unite all the strength that could be brought together.
She believed that the Guard Bureau could be a potential ally.
The Homebody Witch quietly glanced at the Guard Witches, then couldn't help but marvel at the incredible capabilities of an institution managed by two Dragon Vein Patrons.
"Two Pseudo-Pinnacles, three top-tier Great Witches, dozens of ordinary Great Witches, and the rest even at the weakest are Elite Witches, tsk, this quality can almost rival my Hyakki."
Dorothy thought to herself.
Konoe Maki and Yuan Boya both possessed over 600,000 Mana of Magic Power. Although they hadn't passed the Peak examination and couldn't be considered true Peak Witches, they could at least be considered Pseudo-Pinnacles.
Apart from these two directors, three other witches with animal traits also caught her eye among the guards.
One of these witches had a monkey tail, another had dog ears, and the third had flamboyant feathers on her body.
This monkey-dog-chicken trio was not to be trifled with either. The Magic Power fluctuations from them were around 500,000 Mana, at the level of top-tier Great Witches.
While the rest of the guards seemed somewhat mediocre to her, for other ordinary witches, these guards could already be considered the elite of the elite.
Really, this lineup could hold up a medium-sized Battle Group in the outside world, and those mid-tier Witch Territories might not even have this level of combat power.
Tsk, the average quality of the people in Japan is really absurdly high. Clearly, the territory is only the size of a small-to-medium Witch Territory, yet the witches here are exceptionally powerful, with high-level combat power congregating densely.
So, are all the people from the east really monsters?
Meanwhile, as the Homebody Witch was marveling at the strength of the Guard Bureau, Konoe Maki was equally astonished at the unfathomable depth of this construction team.
Earlier, with a rough sense, she knew there were experts in the construction team, but now, as she was so close, she realized what experts! It was a veritable dragon's den.
The little witch on the left had a witch with squinting eyes knitting a sweater, and on the right, an eight-foot-tall smiling member of the Ghost Clan were both not to be messed with.
These two clearly stood there, and the director could see their figures with her naked eye, yet in her perception, these two witches seemed like they didn't exist at all.
This situation already highlighted the gap between the two sides, showing that these were two presences far superior to her.
Apart from these two, the mover not far away with a crimson horn on his forehead, guzzling from a liquor gourd, was also not to be underestimated.
Although this one wasn't as outrageous as the former two, Konoe Maki's intuition already told her this was a formidable opponent.
This person's strength is definitely not below mine.
Looking at the other construction workers, tsk, don't pretend anymore, I've really moved bricks on construction sites before, I can tell at a glance you're all newcomers to the field, your skill is too low, the undercover agents from our bureau act like better venders than you when selling pancakes.
The director grumbled inwardly.
And with such a powerful group of people suddenly gathering, who would believe they were just a construction team?
Konoe Maki's vigilance was at its peak.
However, when she reached out to receive the so-called land contract from the little witch, and opened it to take a look, she immediately fell silent.
Goodness, it was an authentic land contract, genuinely stamped with the Yatagarasu mark of the Great Divine Witch.
The director's heart was also shocked as she looked at the freshly imprinted three-legged crow mark on the land contract.
Had it been someone else, they might not have been able to discern the authenticity of the Great Divine Witch's mark, given that the Great Divine Witch hadn't appeared for a long time.
But not Konoe Maki. Her family had passed down a token from the Three Nobles to her ancestors, which also bore the same Yatagarasu mark; the warmth of the flame akin to the Sun from both marks was not something others could replicate.
This really was a land contract personally signed by the Great Divine Witch. The little witch wasn't lying.
Realizing this, Konoe Maki felt a surge of joy.
After all, this meant that the antics of these peculiar construction workers had the tacit approval or even support of the Great Divine Witch, which also implied that the Great Divine Witch intended to take action against the Heaven's Guard Pavilion.
Understanding this, the director was quite excited.
After all, her hesitation to act stemmed from the fear of being isolated and without aid, hence she always thought of being fully prepared before making a move, but now seeing this, she realized she wasn't fighting alone.
Even though the Great Divine Witch had been silent for long, her status in the hearts of the Japanese Witches was still very high, as she is the Incarnation of Amaterasu Omikami, representing the will of Amaterasu Omikami.
And Amaterasu Omikami is the Chief God of Japan; her will means the Heavenly Mandate.
Now, the Heavenly Mandate is with me.
Nothing could possibly excite a rebel, scheming in secret, more than this.
After all, who's truly not a bit guilty when rebelling? Even though Japan is accustomed to the culture of overthrowing the superior, romanticizing rebelliousness was never as outright as standing on moral high ground.
For a moment, Konoe Maki even thought about shedding her guard uniform and joining the construction crew across the way.
Fortunately, she restrained herself in the end and respectfully returned the Divine Witch Decree's land contract to the little witch on the opposite side.
"Sir, I have checked, and this is indeed personally approved by the Great Divine Witch."
She announced the news loudly.
At these words, everyone was shocked.
The most excited were naturally the guards behind Konoe Maki, who knew their boss's character and understood she wasn't the type to joke about such matters.
And if the boss's words were true...
The guards also felt the mission, one ordained by the Heavenly Mandate.
Great, they had long been fed up with those losers.
So, the attention of all the guards turned towards the guards of the Heaven's Guard Pavilion, their gazes becoming playful.
Mhm, if the Divine Witch Decree is true, then this indeed means that the Heaven's Guard Pavilion has illegally occupied someone else's land, which is illegal, and as righteous guards, they naturally cannot sit idly by; they must stand up for the poor construction guild.
So...
Elders inside, do you want to handle this gracefully yourselves, or should we help you do it gracefully later?
"Lord Konoe, what do you mean by this? Do you know what you are doing? Have you forgotten who the true master of Japan is?"
The alluring steward of the Heaven's Guard Pavilion was under dual pressure from both the Guard Bureau and the construction team, causing her, an ordinary Great Witch, to assert her authority while feeling somewhat threatened.
Rebellion! This Guard Bureau is just a dog raised by the elders. The dogs not guarding the master's door properly, actually daring to collude with bandits and bark at their master, won't end well when the elders arrive for sure.
"We have not forgotten, not for one moment, that Japan belongs to the Immortals, belongs to the Three Nobles, and to Amaterasu Omikami."
"Lord Tachibana, we ask for your understanding, as we are just following protocol; please inform the elders inside to pack up and move, so as not to delay the workers' construction."
Konoe Maki said this very politely to the alluring steward, yet her smile still betrayed her.
No way, being a policeman by circumstance, she wasn't professionally trained, and she just couldn't help it.
