Chapter 70: The Legendary Doujin Artist
Chapter 70: The Legendary Doujin Artist
Kanzaki Rin had indeed figured it out.
But Fang Cheng wasn’t certain if she was bluffing. Admitting carelessly might backfire, so he chose to feign ignorance: “Did you mistake me for someone else? I was home all last night playing Bamboo Studio’s new game. Let me tell you, the Dragon Mom scenes were incredible—I could’ve gone another dozen rounds…”
“Enough! Still lying?”
Crossing her arms, Kanzaki Rin scoffed. “Aren’t you too old to be sneaking around at night wearing a Superman mask?”
Fang Cheng raised an eyebrow. “If I wore a mask, how’d you know it was me?”
“I’d recognize you even as ashes.”
The question was valid—she hadn’t seen his face in the crime scene surveillance footage. But hadn’t he slipped up enough before? Was that even the main issue?
When Kanzaki Rin stayed silent, Fang Cheng spread his hands. “No proof, right? Don’t pin this on me. Being a vampire doesn’t mean I’d do evil. I’m no traitor—your prejudice needs serious reflection.”
He’d never admit it, not even verbally.
“Stop twisting this!” Kanzaki Rin’s voice sharpened. “I’m not here to arrest you. As your partner, I demand to know why you acted alone! Do you realize how reckless that was? Without my cleanup, your amateurish stunt wouldn’t have fooled the Countermeasures Department!”
Her throat burned from last night’s all-nighter fixing his mess, yet he still denied everything.
“Give me a proper reason today, or else—”
“Or else what?”
Fang Cheng tilted his head. “What’ll you do?”
No threat would shake him. Even if she threatened to end their partnership, he wouldn’t yield.
Kanzaki Rin glared. “No reason means I stop covering your food costs. Pay for your three meals a day yourself.”
“Sit! Please sit!”
Fang Cheng hastily guided her to the sofa, offering water. “Drink first, don’t rage! Anger ruins a girl’s looks. Stop threatening my meals—it’s terrifying!”
His monstrous appetite meant astronomical food bills—only a wealthy lady could sustain it. Paying himself? Financial freedom would remain a dream.
“Not thirsty!”
Kanzaki Rin wasn’t letting him off.
Fang Cheng pivoted: “How’d you know about last night?”
If she’d erased surveillance, she must’ve anticipated his move.
Seeing his retreat, Kanzaki Rin relented. “A drone caught you killing that monster on the 16th. You thought I didn’t notice your midnight street races?”
So she’d known all along.
Fang Cheng gaped. He’d believed himself stealthy, but this wealthy lady had mastered stalker tactics.
Marrying her would be hell—no cheating, not even taking out trash without surveillance.
This woman was horrifying!
“Why not stop me earlier?” he asked.
Kanzaki Rin sipped water, smirking. “Would you have listened?”
Oh, of course not. If Kanzaki Rin tried to stop him beforehand, Fang Cheng would’ve just knocked her out and finished what he started last night.
“If I told you earlier, would you agree?”
“Of course not.”
“Then why bother talking?”
Fang Cheng shrugged. Whether Morishita Yamato hired killers by his own choice or through hypnosis, revenge was necessary.
That mad dog kept attacking both him and Asaka Akihime – who knew who’d be next? Leaving him unchecked meant trouble.

Seeing Fang Cheng misunderstand, Kanzaki Rin snapped, “I’m not protecting the Morishitas – they deserved it. Your reckless plan could expose us both! We’re tied together now. At least warn me before acting so I’m not left scrambling!”
Fang Cheng cut in gravely: “Wait, when did we sleep together?”
Kanzaki Rin slammed the table. “You’re making dirty jokes now? Should I call an escort to empty your filthy mind?”
“Sure, if you’re paying. I want big breasts and black stockings.”
Fang Cheng tilted his head. “Hold on, how do you know escort numbers? Unless you…”
His suspicious gaze made Kanzaki Rin flush. She’d blurted it out without thinking – why would she know such things? The anger she’d held back since entering finally burst out. Grabbing a sofa cushion, she lunged.
“Pervert! I’ll end you!!”
…
Their fight ended with two shredded cushions.
Kanzaki Rin suddenly said, “No more vampire kills. Lay low at home.”
Fang Cheng blinked. “Because of the Morishitas?”
“Exactly. The Countermeasures Department’s sending God’s Brush. Stay quiet if you want to live.”
“God’s Brush? That legendary doujin artist?”
The Disaster Countermeasures Department’s three ace superpowered individuals were common knowledge in Area 11. Kamikawa Takumi (God’s Brush) stood out not for power, but his bizarre legend.
Unlike other aces, he started as a nobody intern. His superpower only surged after adulthood, making him an ace overnight. Internet theories ranged from hidden talent to parental sacrifices granting power.
But his real fame came from comics. Early works were trash, mocked at conventions until he vowed: “I’ll make otaku enjoy my comics someday!”
After becoming ace, his art improved as dramatically as his powers. His rare comics became art pieces. Those once-mocked works now sold for fortunes – life’s irony.
This tale made Kamikawa Takumi legend. Fans waved cash for new releases.
Fang Cheng himself had used Kamikawa’s comics. The thought of being killed then gender-bent in some vampire humiliation doujin made his skin crawl.
But even idols couldn’t block his financial freedom.
Hearing “legendary doujin artist”, Kanzaki Rin’s face darkened. Why were all men she knew so ridiculous?
“We don’t need vampires,” Fang Cheng suggested. “Other monsters give achievements too, right?”
Kanzaki Rin stared. She’d used vampires as leverage since they were Fang Cheng’s natural enemies. Why switch targets now?
After pause, she demanded: “Tell truth – do monster corpses give you something?”
She’d noticed him touching vampire bodies repeatedly. Initially thought it was a quirk, but now…
