e the company so rich, much less when the First Inter-Player International Competition occurred and they sold actual platinum to new players.

If it wasn ’t for the fact that the source of the funds was so easily traceable thanks to the AI providing detailed statements and transactions lists, the government and many other powers would have made a move to stifle them.

As it was, they couldn ’t find any legal reason to, as the entirety of this company ’s income flow was open to the public.
Even the most honest top company had some hidden books where they did transactions that could never see the light.

The Purgatory Group didn ’t have any such weaknesses!

What clued Maria into the fact that Draco might be affiliated with GloryGore was the fact that his R&D lab had entered a partnership with the GloryGore Labs and began producing and distributing Virtua Helmets.
Since only Draco had achieved such a level of partnership with GloryGore across the entire world, it was obvious enough that his relationship was extraordinary.

The Cartel was a global organization that ruled in the dark, but it also had its affiliations to the light.
Through Maria, they had a connection to the Fifth Councilor.
Through others, they had other connections to various Councilors.

It was through this that the entire situation had occurred.
She had been reached out to by her close friend, Lolo, the personal secretary of the Third Councilor.
If Maria could link Draco to the GloryGore group, so too could anyone else.

It wasn ’t like Draco or the AI were particularly trying hard to cover it anyway.

Maria had reluctantly agreed to help and had used one of the forces beneath Old Master Rothschild to put some pressure on the company.
The game company was the source of funds and its operation was clean.

The R&D department had been their true target, but they couldn ’t go for it directly and alarm the enemy.


As such, they had targeted the more obscure security company that was just a front for training members of Supernatural.
Once they applied pressure from there, then they could perform a bait and switch, then make an attempt on the R&D department.

What Maria had never even dreamed off was such a brutal and vicious response to their actions.
As such, she paced around, dreading the call from Old Master Rothschild and how she would explain herself.

Oh… you thought she was worried about the retaliation of Draco and his gang?

Not even for a second.
Even if she was aware of the power needed to wipe out the Elemental Group, Maria had her own elite protection group from both the Cartel and from Old Master Rothschild.
If those fellows even dared to come, she would be excited, for if she could slaughter them all, it would be perfect.
That way she could offer partial compensation for old master Rothschild ’s losses.

However, that was wishful thinking.
How the fuck would they find her if they didn ’t even know she was the mastermind? The Elemental Group didn ’t know she had been the one to pass down the order, so interrogating them was useless.

Only someone who knew all Maria ’s secrets could deduce that it was her.
And well, she had never opened up to anybody before.

As such, it was natural that when Maria felt the ground tremble greatly, and her mansion ’s gate explode, she was dumbfounded.
In fact, the gate flew towards her, crashing through the walls of the mansion so fast that it almost cut through like butter.

Maria was frozen in place, and it seemed as if time had slowed down.
Just when she envisioned a gory death, the piece of metal was sliced in half by a figure that suddenly appeared before her.

Maria regained her senses and fell to her extremely fat bum, her thick legs shaking with fear.
That quick encounter with death had woken her up from her arrogance and reminded her that no matter how much influence she might hold, she was still mortal.

The only thing that made her special was that the shape of her body was shaped to perfection, to the point where it was almost impossible to believe.

The man standing before her sheathed his katana and raised his head.
He was dressed strangely, wearing full black ninja robes with a samurai hat on his head.
His face was covered with a ninja mask and his head was covered well, leaving only his bright scarlet eyes showing.

Apart from sandals and his katana ’s sheathe that hung at his side, he wore nothing else.
In a bizarre way, he looked just like Shuro the Shopkeeper, only much younger…

From the dust at the entrance, 8 figures entered the courtyard slowly and stately, seemingly unbothered by the hundreds of defenses that activated in the manor, from machine guns to SAM rockets.
They didn ’t even spare a look for the other defenders posted to protect Maria from the various forces.

The only one they spared a glance for was the man wielding the katana, and their faces were solemn.


”How is this possible…? ” Shadowheart muttered darkly while looking at him.

The man in the ninja outfit spoke in a deep voice with a Japanese accent.
”Anything is possible with my sword. ”

The 8 God Serpents were silent for a while before Nightwalker gloomily asked.
”Who are you? ”

The man in the ninja outfit lowered his head and concealed his scarlet eyes.
”In my previous world I was known as the Sword God.
Here, I am called Sengo Muramasa. ”

The fellow entered an Iai stance and drew a deep breath while placing his right hand on the hilt of his sheathed blade.

”My task is to protect this maiden and eliminate all trespassers.
Ready yourself! ”

Suddenly, he roared and charged forward like a lightning bolt, he speed faster than anything anyone else could follow.
He struck towards Shadowheart who seemed to be frozen in place, staring calmly.

”Iai First Stance: Behead! ”

The blade swished through the air, only leaving afterimages as it struck towards Shadowheart ’s throat.
Before it could reach its goal though, a hand reached out and clasped the sword with ease.

Sengo Muramasa turned his scarlet eyes to gaze at Hades who was grinning darkly.
”Before you attack our leader, why not fight the generals first? ”
