The Source of Information

Umeno Masami came from District 14 to District 20 because many of his targets were disappearing after entering this sector. He couldn't help but feel curiosity, fear, and a sense of not being in control while patrolling the streets in this place.

The sensation in District 20 for expert investigators is like a quagmire. No matter how prepared they are in this place, they inevitably never have control over what happens here.

Even if they were asked directly, "What is the most dangerous district of all?" He would definitely answer that District 20 is due to its organization that keeps it off the radar. It's a shame that the higher-ups don't approve a large-scale investigation into the places where the Ghouls in this district might be and how they feed if not by hunting their victims similarly to other sectors.

"We must move carefully in this sector; everyone seems ignorant, but they know perfectly well that the biggest problem is District 20... At the moment, it's just one sector that's supposedly free of Ghouls, and no one seems to question how that's possible. They ignore the fact that it's one well-organized organization in the sector. If they all manage to adapt in that way, they would be in the dark, and we would be in the light."

"Many speculate that District 20 has fewer Ghouls than the others, but are we right to think that there is an organization that controls everything in the shadows?" Umeno Masami seemed the darkest to this idea, so he earned the nickname of the "Ghoul Sensor," ironically because he is never correct.

Shinohara Yukinori seemed to understand, the emergence of an organization of Ghouls that can hide and dominate a sector of human society would have serious and complex consequences. It would create a climate of fear, distrust, and violence, and could lead to a dangerous confrontation between humans and Ghouls at unexpected times. The response of human society would be a fundamental issue, as it could determine the course of events and the fate of both species.

"They are giving us a choice, at least in this place, they are giving us a choice of what we want to do."

Umeno looked at Captain Shinohara Yukinori with perplexity, what was he trying to say?

Shinohara Yukinori noticed the bewildered looks of everyone around him and said, "Haha, don't misunderstand me, what I mean is that we have the final say on what will happen in this place. If we bite forcefully with the intention of killing, they will strike back in the same way."

"I hadn't thought of it before..." Umeno Masami held his forehead with a very doubtful expression. If they choose war or no war, isn't it very difficult for them to choose either option?

If they choose no war, everything will continue the same in District 20, where supposedly peace reigns, there are no missing people, and Ghoul attacks are extremely rare, as the last one was just yesterday. Now, if they decide to attack, all the Ghouls in unknown locations may come out and attack humans; an organized strike hurts more than a brute one. That's what's at stake in this place.

"I'm back!"

At this moment, Suzuya Juzo approached in small hops, holding a coffee behind his hands.

"Oh, sorry for not greeting you earlier. You are Shinohara Yukinori's partner, right? Suzuya Juzo, if I'm not mistaken?" Umeno Masami greeted with a friendly smile.

Shinohara Yukinori also looked at Suzuya Juzo, the investigator who had been transferred from District 13. He didn't know much about him until now.

But everyone knew Shinohara Yukinori, especially Umeno, who had transferred from District 14 to 20 by his own choice. He knew who the captain of this division was, and he didn't expect a kid to be his partner from now on.

It's well known that Shinohara Yukinori, although he's ranked 1 and is still considered a Ghoul investigator, is, in fact, already a Special Class investigator and is about to become the CCG commander in District 20.

"I heard you got a good lead on the suspicious target in District 20, right?" Shinohara Yukinori asked at this moment.

The target they were talking about was naturally Kenzo, who had been reported by an anonymous source announcing that he was a powerful Ghoul.

Although Kenzo's reputation in District 20 is blank, so much so that even his father didn't know he was the leader of the Three Eyes Raven organization, very few knew he was a Ghoul, and you could count them on one hand. Not only do his enemies die shortly after coming into contact with him, but also most of the high-ranking members of his organization only know about his Kagune.

His sister can't even imagine that he's the leader of the Three Eyes Raven organization because he has two completely different mastered Kagunes. The one he uses as the leader of the organization is a wing similar to a demon, and his identity as Kenzo simply uses his huge right arm.

"Yes, I received the mission, and I was about to tell you about it, but they started talking about many things, to the point that I got hungry and went to buy something." Suzuya Juzo revealed some information found in Kenzo's wallet, obviously keeping the money and the wallet in his pocket.

But at that moment, a guard who was standing at the entrance of the CCG branch rushed in.

"Mr. Kureo, something is happening at the entrance of the branch. A person entered, beating the guards, claiming to be looking for someone." A security guard ran in, looking extremely worried that it might be a Ghoul attack.

"Eh? What nonsense are you talking about? Is someone crazy enough to come to a CCG branch to cause trouble?" Umeno Masami jumped up in confusion.

"Let's check that out first!"

Shinohara Yukinori didn't have time to see the documents Kenzo had in his wallet; to be honest, there was nothing compromising in it, but if they decided to start an investigation there, it would certainly cause problems. He wanted to go see what was happening first.

At that moment, outside the CCG's door, a group of people lay on the ground as Kenzo walked through the main entrance. There were even several Class 2 Ghoul investigators on the ground.

When they stood in front of Kenzo, no one could stop him for more than five seconds before being knocked down.

Among them was Koutauro Amon, who was a rookie investigator, but he was crushed by a combination of Kenzo's blows.

This terrible scene shocked everyone present.

"Call the person in charge here. I have limited patience. If they arrive late, I might just smash all the guards in this place!" Kenzo scratched his ear while kicking an investigator who was attempting to bite him.

"Hey, are you a dog or what?"

"This idiot..."

At that moment, one by one, they all retreated while clenching their teeth.

Boom!

At this moment, a strange sound rang out, and a gas similar to vapor emerged from one of Kenzo's feet. It was a kind of pepper spray gas.

Kenzo might be very random to many, but this would deter any suspicions about him. Humans are naturally curious, the more someone acts normal, the more others will be drawn to the place where there is nothing.

But Kenzo knew that no sensible Ghoul would come to the CCG branch looking for trouble, especially a Ghoul who could be caught by dozens of investigators in this place.

However, Kenzo trusted his instincts, and the actions he was taking were justified; otherwise, he wouldn't be foolish enough to rush into a situation he didn't control.

Boom!

Kenzo kicked the grenade that was mercilessly thrown at him, hitting an investigator Ghoul on the forehead, and many of the investigators were suddenly affected.

"This bastard... Is he insane? Damn it!"

An investigator gritted his teeth because his partner had been knocked out by Kenzo. How could there be a person like this?

It should be known that Ghoul investigators are rigorously trained in combat techniques, situational analysis, and perception. Not all of them are capable of taking on a Ghoul with superhuman strength and winning, but they should be stronger than most average civilians.

Despite that, an ordinary man had entered a CCG branch very easily. How could they defend themselves if dozens of Ghouls arrived to attack them?

"Listen, my body has been trained until it bleeds, and none of you can match my perfection. You won't be rivals for me, so call the person in charge." Kenzo, with a tired look, continued walking, ignoring the investigators.

"Wow!"

At that moment, Umeno Masami emerged with many investigators behind him, clapping his hands, "My God, you are truly skilled. If I guess correctly, you couldn't possibly be an excellent Ghoul investigator."

"Um!" Kenzo looked at the Ghoul investigator who seemed somewhat different from the others.

Umeno Masami is tall, strong, and has a solemn attitude. It can be seen that he is an excellent investigator with a respectful and polite demeanor, but behind that facade is someone very powerful.

"You know who I am, don't you?" Kenzo looked at the other side and said with no expression.

"Of course, so many things have been happening in District 20 recently. We received a report pointing to you as a suspect, but it was unexpected that you would come to us," said Umeno Masami with a cold smile.

"I suspected it..." Kenzo thought as he continued his act.

"Oh, I lost my wallet, and it's in this place. I wanted to come and ask politely, but your guards wanted to kick me out of here. Do you know how much tax I pay for you to have these fancy facilities?" Kenzo pointed to all the Ghoul investigators in front of him and declared, "If I announce this on social media, do you think you'll be in control of the situation?"

"Uh... You lost your wallet? Shouldn't you call the police?" Umeno Masami was obviously puzzled.

"Do you want me to call the police? I probably will, just wait a moment..." Kenzo took out his cell phone and dialed the police directly, "Hello, yes, at the CCG branch, an investigator stole my wallet and refuses to return it. Of course, I will call my lawyers and file a lawsuit."

When everyone heard these words, they were a bit confused and didn't know what Kenzo meant at this moment. Did one of the employees steal a wallet from this expert martial artist?
