Holy Akashic Conqueror

The Washuu Clan has used a large part of their deep-rooted power in managed to convince the j.a.panese government to help the CCG with promoting entering the CCG and becoming the ghoul investigator. Lucien also sent the letter to the Tsukiyama Family and informing them about the current state of the Washuu Clan and their intentions to wipe them out and prepare.

Head of the Tsukiyama, Tsukiyama Mirumo being an intelligent man, knew what to do and he was using the power of the entire family and conglomerate to put pressure on the CCG and the Washuu Clan. Even though the Washuu Clan was deeply rooted in j.a.pan, Tsukiyama Family was extremely wealthy, more than the Washuu Clan and also they had the support of the Aeon House and their financial and political network.

Thanks to this, CCG was lately under huge pressure, which resulted in the loss of almost half of potential recruits and a large part of funds that were given to them by the government. Tsukiyama Family were aware of the Aeon House as they were also very old ghoul family and were related to the Rosewald Family, which was a German n.o.ble family, who were ghouls who infiltrated Germany.

Lucien also got an invitation from the Tsukiyama Mirumo for the Christmas ball, on the 23rd of December. It was gathering of almost all influential ghouls in entire j.a.pan and Asian Countries. Lucien thought it could be fun and he could also get some help for the Aogiri Tree as many of those ghouls hated CCG and similar organizations to the core and used every chance to deal them some damage.

Soon, TV News started and moderator started announcing news, with the first one being the 11th Ward Battle and Cochlea Raid.

"In the evening of the December 19, the 11th Ward Special Countermeasures Unit began its a.s.sault on Aogiri"s base, however, the a.s.sault was halted by the Aogiri ghouls heavily armed with firearms and heavy firearms. CCG suffered a great deal of loses during the siege and after the explosion of the building less than half of the 11th Ward Special Countermeasures Unit. Also, an SSS-rate ghoul named Owl appeared and joined the fight against the CCG. Aogiri Tree hardly lost any people, by words of the CCG they escaped before the 11th Ward Special Countermeasures Unit entered the base. Next, we would be announcing loses of the CCG, during the 11th Ward Battle, where several important and high-ranking members fell.

a.s.sociate Special Cla.s.s Investigator Chino Mutsumi

Special Cla.s.s Investigator Shinohara Yukinori.

The loss of the a.s.sociate Special Cla.s.s and Special Cla.s.s happened after a long time again in their heroic fights against the ghouls."

Lucien was surprised that they didn"t say even word about Zelilios being the killer of the Special Cla.s.s Investigator Shinohara Yukinori. Probably the Washuu Clan knew the ident.i.ty of the killer kept it for themselves. After a short break, news continued.

"During the same time as 11th Ward was going on and 11th Ward, Special Countermeasures Unit were fighting against the Aogiri ghouls, Cochlea Detention Center was breached. The true objective of the Aogiri Tree was entire time Cochlea Detention Center in the 23rd Ward. They attacked the prison and freed prisoners there. The entire staff of the Cochlea Detention Center was slaughtered, leaving none alive, and Warden Misaka Kyouji and Deputy Warden Haisaki Shinme were killed during the raid."

What followed next was the press conference with the Washuu Yos.h.i.toki being only one from the CCG there. He was wearing a pure white suit with a pink shirt and red tie.

"And now I would like to welcome here, Bureau Director of the CCG"s Main Office and heir of the Washuu Clan, Washuu Yos.h.i.toki."

Then all cameras were only on the Washuu Yos.h.i.toki who slowly started talking.

"11th Ward Battle was a disastrous loss for the CCG and it was a despicable trap from the Aogiri Tree terrorists to kill humans and eats them. The entire staff of the Cochlea Detention Center including all civilians were slaughtered mercilessly, leaving none alive. All ghouls in the Cochlea Detention Center escaped, including all S-rated ghouls and SS-rated ones, bringing dark times to the Tokyo once again. CCG suffered a great deal of loses. Loss of the a.s.sociate Special Cla.s.s Chino Mutsumi greatly hurt our abilities to lead lower-ranking investigators to command operations and loss of the Special Cla.s.s Investigator Shinohara Yukinori severely damaged our ability to hunt for SS-rated ghouls."

Lucien was surprised at how much of truth were they telling. But it was ironical that the Washuu Clan members were talking about humanity and slaughtering humans. Next, he was talking some nonsense about loses and grave situation. Lucien knew what was their aim.

After the suppression of the various groups and even government which came like lightning from the clear sky, on the next day immediately after the event, they suffered greatly. Now they are trying to get public on their side. Very clever move, very clever but Tsukiyama Family won"t be doing nothing seeing this and they would manipulate media to pressure them too.

Next half an hour Washuu Yos.h.i.toki was appealing on the public to motive them to unite against the evil ghouls and join the CCG in their sacred mission of annihilating ghouls and protecting the civilians. Truly funny.

The entire press conference took around an hour and after answering some very unfriendly question, all of those journalists asking those questions were paid by the Tsukiyama Family to do an image of the CCG and the Washuu Clan worse in the eyes of the public. In current situation was rather easy. Lucien was wondering what would be situation tomorrow when all settled.
