Shortly afterward, they arrived above the Monolith.
Xiao Feng slowly descended and landed upon its wide surface.
After placing Seitenshi on the ground, he released her and withdrew the golden wings behind him.
Seitenshi took two steps forward then stopped. Although the surface beneath her feet was completely stable, she still felt slightly uncomfortable after flying for the first time.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Feng asked.
"I'm fine."
Seitenshi adjusted her dress and turned to look at the Tokyo Area. From the top of the Monolith, almost the entire city could be seen.
A strong wind blew across the surface, but before it could disturb her clothes or hair, an invisible barrier appeared around them.
Seitenshi noticed it and looked toward Xiao Feng but didn't ask further.
The two stood silently for a short while then Xiao Feng walked closer to the edge and looked down at the city.
"You came here because of what happened yesterday."
Seitenshi nodded, "Yes."
"You want to know whether I intend to attack the Tokyo Area."
"That is one of the reasons." Seitenshi walked closer but maintained some distance between them.
"The destruction of the IISO branch has caused a great disturbance. The footage was also sent to every surviving government."
"I already expected that."
Xiao Feng had not hidden his appearance during the attack. He also knew that a large organization such as the IISO would possess surveillance cameras.
So Seitenshi's arrival wasn't unexpected.
What was unexpected was that Seitenshi came alone without any guards.
Have the guards and police in Tokyo been fed to Dogs?
"So what do you want to ask?" Xiao Feng said.
Seitenshi looked at him seriously, "Why did you attack the branch?"
"To save the children."
"Was that the only reason?"
"Yes."
Seitenshi had already guessed the answer, but she still wanted to hear it from him personally.
"What happened to the children?"
"They are safe."
"Are they still inside the branch?"
"Yes."
Seitenshi hesitated before continuing, "According to the footage, many of them were injured."
"Most of their injuries have already been treated."
"What about their Gastrea corrosion rates?"
Hearing this question, Xiao Feng turned toward her, "They no longer have to worry about transforming into Gastrea."
Seitenshi's expression changed slightly.
"What do you mean?"
"It's simple. I solved their Gastrea corrosion rate. As for the specific method, don't ask. I won't tell you, at least not now."
Xiao Feng didn't intend to explain cultivation to Seitenshi. Though he liked her in the anime, this was their first time meeting in real life.
Seitenshi froze.
Solved Gastrea Corrosion. She didn't think he was lying because with his mysterious powers it was indeed possible to do that.
But this made her curious about how he did it. After all, no researcher in the world has been able to do it.
However, from his words, she understood he didn't intend to explain it to her. Forcing him to reveal such an important secret would only increase his distrust toward her.
"I understand. I won't ask about the method."
Xiao Feng looked slightly surprised by how easily she accepted his refusal, "You aren't going to insist?"
"I am curious, but you have no reason to trust me yet." Seitenshi replied honestly. "However, I would like permission to have the girls examined by a doctor."
Xiao Feng resolutely sim his head, "No!"
Shortly afterward, they arrived above the Monolith.
Xiao Feng slowly descended and landed upon its wide surface.
After placing Seitenshi on the ground, he released her and withdrew the golden wings behind him.
Seitenshi took two steps forward then stopped. Although the surface beneath her feet was completely stable, she still felt slightly uncomfortable after flying for the first time.

Xiao Feng looked slightly surprised by how easily she accepted his refusal, "You aren't going to insist?"
"I am curious, but you have no reason to trust me yet." Seitenshi replied honestly, "However I would like to know what you intend to do with the cursed children."
"I intend to take them in and take care of them."
"Take care of them?"
"Yes."
Seitenshi looked at his young face and elevated her understanding of him. Although Xiao Feng looked young and had even gonenon a killing spree, she now felt he was more human than most humans in this world.
She sighed lightly, letting out a breath, "If you wish to take care of them then you would need food, clothing, education, and proper identification. If you don't mind, I can help with that."
"What do you need in return?" Xiao Feng looked at her deeply.
"I don't need anything in return. But if possible, I hope you will write an armistice with Tokyo. Many people in Tokyo are worried because of you."
"An Armistice?"
Xiao Feng showed a thoughtful look. .
Thus armistice was likely to reassure the high level officials in Tokyo that he wouldn't suddenly launch a war against Tokyo. After all, he could now be considered a humanoid nuclear bomb to the people of this world.
"I can sign an agreement but in return not only food and clothing, I also need you to gather the Cursed Children in the city and give them to me. As education and identification, I don't need it."
Seitenshi was slightly surprised by his conditions.
"Gather all the Cursed Children in the city and give them to you?"
"Yes."
Xiao Feng nodded without hesitation.
"Many of them are living in the Outer Districts without food or shelter. Since the people of Tokyo don't want to take care of them, I will."
Seitenshi naturally knew about the situation in the Outer Districts.
Many Cursed Children were abandoned after their parents discovered their crimson eyes. Some survived by stealing food, while others gathered in ruined buildings outside the protected districts.
Although she had introduced several policies to improve their situation, the hatred of ordinary citizens made their implementation extremely difficult.
"Okay, I can promise you! But only limited to the homeless Cursed Children. I can't help you with Initiators."
If it's just about wanting the cursed children, the high ranking officials most likely wont refuse because what Xiao Feng's is asking for is
"It's fine as long as you can even gather one person."
Xiao Feng shook his head. He also knew he could not go too far because this was a world with modern technological weapons. Although many technologies were lost during the Gastrea War, many of it has been preserved.
It would be too presumptuous to he can do anything he pleases, one Nuclear Bomb is enough to send him to Heaven in a literal sense.
"Happy Cooperation, Seitenshi!"
Just like that an agreement was signed between Xiao Feng and Seitenshi which was later placed at the desk of every high level government official of Tokyo.
The officials looked at the document in their hands and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
