"Hongyin, what did you and Kasugano-kun talk about?"

After Fang Zheng left, Bei Shan Chao, who had been watching here, hurried over and asked in a low voice. He knew that his wife had a lot of worries and doubts about Fang Zheng. In private, Bei Shan Hongyin had also warned Bei Shan Chao several times.

He wanted to keep a distance from Fang Zheng, so he was worried that there would be conflicts between the two parties.

However, facing her husband's inquiry, Beishan Hongyin lowered her eyes and sighed softly.

"It's nothing, I just chatted with him for a while."

"Are you still holding on to that idea?"

"It should be said...my mind has not changed."

Beishan Hongyin looked at her husband and smiled bitterly.

"It can even be said that after talking to him, my thoughts became stronger. That child is not an ordinary person..."

"Of course it is. If he can be considered an ordinary person, then there are not many ordinary people in this world."

"No, you don't understand what I mean, Brother Chao, you don't understand, he is really dangerous."

"I still don't understand. What is the danger you are talking about? Do you mean what plans he has against us?"

"That's the problem."

Beishan Hongyin shook her head again.

"He doesn't have any intentions against us. In fact, if that were the case, I would feel more at ease."

“…………………???”

"He is the king of magicians, Brother Chao."

Looking at her husband who looked at her with confusion, Kitayama Hongyin explained in a low voice.

"You are not a magician, and you don't understand what this means. He will become the king of magicians in all Japan, no, the whole world. He will rule them, and all magicians will obey him. As long as he gives orders, the magicians

It will all be done.”

"Is he so powerful? Although his strength is indeed beyond ordinary people's imagination, the magic world will not listen to a child, right? Isn't there such a thing as the Ten Master Clans?"

After hearing his wife's answer, Beishan Chao still had a puzzled look on his face, but after hearing his question, Beishan Hongyin smiled bitterly.

"You should know about his plan for the Magic Autonomous Zone. In fact, I have heard about it. Within the Japan Magic Association, some people are also opposed to Founder's proposal. They think that this proposal places too much emphasis on the independence of magicians and may arouse dissatisfaction and vigilance from the government.

, but in the end, this opinion was suppressed, and then the Japan Magic Association passed the decision to assist the proposal of the Magic Autonomous Zone."

Speaking of this, Beishan Hongyin looked at Beishan Chao.

"Do you know what this means?"

"Could it be that Kasugano-kun also has supporters in the Japan Magic Association?"

"Hahaha, supporters... This statement is not correct. Strictly speaking, Kasugano did not ask for anything from the Japan Magic Association. They voluntarily supported him. Because the king's will cannot be violated, he has already made a request

If you have your own thoughts, then as a minister, what you have to do is not to deny the king, but to act according to his will."

"Your statement is too exaggerated, Hongyin."

Bei Shanchao obviously disagreed with his wife's statement.

"What a king, that's no longer the era..."

"For magicians, the times we live in have never changed."

Beishan Hongyin looked out the window with a hint of sadness.

"Being feared and hated by others because of their special powers has always been the case from ancient times to the present. And I think you also know that the incident involving the Sibo brothers and sisters not long ago also caused magicians to receive more attention from the outside world.

and doubts..."

"……………………"

Hearing this, Beishan Chao also fell into silence. What Beishan Hongyin said was the incident that happened in the United States not long ago - or the disaster.

Although the specific reason is unknown, judging from the current situation, it is because during the deterioration of Japan-US relations, Shiba Tatsuya and Shiba Miyuki, who went to study in the United States as exchange students, were subjected to racial discrimination and hate attacks, and as the older brother, Shiba

Tatsuya was killed, and Miyuki Shiba, his younger sister, was extremely angry and launched a large-scale attack.

That could almost be called a terrorist attack. Not only was the center of the city where the two of them were at that time reduced to rubble, but after that, Miyuki Shiba unreasonably launched an attack on the entire city, and cooperated with the forces sent by the American Magical Association.

The magicians fought fiercely, and the United States sent UNS's special forces STA and Chief Sirius. The result of the battle between the two sides was that three-quarters of the city was completely destroyed, and tens of thousands of people were involved in the magic attack and died.

, millions of people were displaced, and direct losses were billions of dollars.

For the United States, this can be regarded as damage comparable to that of a war.

Of course, in the end, the United States finally controlled Miyuki Shiba and arrested her. It was natural that Miyuki Shiba should be sentenced to death based on the damage she caused. However, they were worried that Founder would use this as an excuse to launch an attack on the United States.

, and Founder indeed asked the United States to return Miyuki Shiba. In the end, the US government pinched its nose and expressed its willingness to return Miyuki Shiba to Japan...

But the impact of the incident itself goes far beyond that.

After this incident, a theory gradually spread around the world, that is - if a powerful magician wants to commit a crime or launch a terrorist attack, what can the government do?

Indeed, after investigation, the entire incident was revealed. In fact, what happened to Miyuki Shiba is not unusual. In fact, many people join terrorist organizations after encountering hate crimes, or in turn engage in indiscriminate criminal revenge.

But this is not the point. The point is that the harm caused by magicians as criminals is far higher than that of ordinary people.

Even in the United States, which encourages gun ownership, the number of victims in shooting cases is only dozens or hundreds at most. But the damage caused by Miyuki Shiba's rage is comparable to a local war. I am afraid that the number of shooting victims in the United States every year is

The total number of people adds up to nothing more than this.

Although Shiba Miyuki is considered the best among magicians, it is very difficult for ordinary magicians to achieve this level, but if there are one, there will be two, and no one knows whether similar things will happen again. By that time,

Does the government have any countermeasures to protect civilians?

Because of this, calls for restrictions on magicians are getting louder and louder all over the world. Except for the fact that East Asia and Central Asia have historically been very polite to the existence of magicians, there are also threats to magicians in other places.

It is becoming more and more serious. Historically, Japan was influenced by Chinese culture and did not have a negative awareness of similar existences. However, after accepting Western civilization, their culture also made changes. Therefore, Japan and the United States also

Likewise, there is concern and uneasiness about the dangers of magicians.

"And you should have heard that he once publicly called for making the Magic Zone a home for magicians and was willing to accept magicians from all over the world..."

"The media did report it, but most people think it is just a slogan..."

"Wrong, Brother Chao."

Beishan Hongyin shook her head and stared at her husband seriously.

"That's not an appeal, it's a call. And I've also watched the discussions in the media about these. Indeed, from the common sense of ordinary people, if a magician with ulterior motives enters, it will only bring disaster. And no one believes in a sixteen-year-old

A young man who is 20 years old can really manage such an autonomous region, but... I want to tell you, he really can."

"……………………"

"That's why I'm worried, Brother Chao, he will build an unprecedented kingdom of magicians. And if we, Beishan Industrial, get too close to him, then we will also be pushed to the forefront. Indeed, this will bring

Our Beishan family brings unimaginable wealth, but with it comes unimaginable risks. To be honest, I am very satisfied with our current life. I have no special ambitions. I just hope that we can live peacefully.

It’s enough to finish this life.”

Hearing this, Bei Shanchao nodded, and he understood what his wife meant.

"Besides, what worries me more is Shizuku."

"Shizuku?"

"Yes."

Kitayama Hongyin turned her head and looked at the other side of the banquet hall, where Fangzheng, Kitayama Shizuku, Mitsui Honoka and others were chatting, and they seemed to be having a good time.

"This is a worry as a mother and a woman. I can see that both Shizuku and Honoka have a crush on that young man. I'm really worried about what the relationship between them will be like if this continues."

After saying this, Beishan Hongyin really showed a hint of uneasiness. If before, she only analyzed it from the perspective of family interests, then this time, she looked at it from the perspective of a woman and mother.

"I just talked with Kasugano. He said that he is attracted to cute girls, but it is difficult to fall deeply in love with a specific person. I also wanted to ask him what he thinks about Shizuku and Honoka, but he said

I got into trouble and ran away. I'm not worried that he has any bad thoughts towards Shizuku or Honoka, but I'm worried that they might be hurt if they continue to be with him."

"Indeed, it is not a good thing to fall in love with the same person as a friend, and it is difficult for us to interfere."

Kitayama Shio also nodded helplessly. Of course they loved their daughters, but they also regarded Mitsui Honoka as their own daughters. If these two people had a dispute over the same man, it would be difficult for them to say that they would take sides.

Which side is right?

Hearing her husband's answer, Beishan Hongyin opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing. She did not tell Beishan Chao. In fact, what she was most worried about was not the development of this kind of love triangle. In the contact with Fang Zheng just now,

She had already discovered that the other party was obviously familiar with how to face this kind of situation, so even if it really came to that point, he would not stand idly by.

But what Beishan Hongyin is more worried about is the magician's persistence in blood.

With Fang Zheng's powerful power and qualifications as a king, there are countless magicians who want to incorporate his bloodline into their own families. Needless to say, the twenty-eight families of the ten master families and even the digital family will be eyeing this, even if

It doesn't matter if you can't get married, as long as you can successfully conceive the other person's blood and get a child, it's already a pretty good result.

Therefore, it is certain that the "overt and covert competition" centered on Fangzheng will definitely start from this. Although the Kitayama family is an industrial chaebol, in the final analysis, it is just a businessman, and there is no way to compete with the ten master clans. Shizuku Kitayama

In terms of identity and family, Mitsui Honoka is not a match for the other party. In addition, they are the women closest to Founder, so they may be the first to be attacked and slandered by others.

Although Beishan Chao said that he was enough to protect his daughter from threats...but this threat was far beyond his reach.

Now we can only hope that that man will keep his words and deeds, at least he will not sacrifice his daughter and Honoka.
To be continued...
