Itori digested all information about Washuu Clan. She didn't think that others of their race would so despise them, but it was still understandable because they betrayed their own race and slaughtered the Shi Xue Clan, whom they should serve.
Another part was that they were deeply infiltrated into human society. It could be said that in Japan real ruling force wasn't a prime minister but Washuu Clan. Thanks to the so-called Ghoul Countermeasures Law, which provided the legal foundation for the prosecution of ghouls, their influence only grew.
It was the truth that these laws stood above laws and country and probably stood even above the constitution.
"So why didn't your family exterminate them?"
Asked Itori with curiosity. She thought that his family should have the power to annihilate Washuu Clan, but it was weird to her why didn't they do so.
"Hmm, it is not so easy. In the place we live, we have our own problems, which are more important than Washuu Clan. The second thing is that they have much greater numbers than we have. Our entire race numbers in tens. The entire military force of the Washuu Clan numbers in what? Thousands? But fortunately, they are always some usable pawns against them."
Itori didn't know that he was referring to demon threats by saying that they had more important problems than Washuu Clan. And she knew that the military force of the Washuu Clan, coupled with their branch families, CCG and V, was extremely huge.
But she noticed his last sentence about pawns. She knew that he talked about the only organization with huge numbers that could oppose CCG. But not V or Washuu Clan. Truth be told, if Washuu Clan gets serious, they would be able to wipe out the entire Aogiri in a few weeks. Maybe even sooner.
Itori then sipped her blood wine and looked at Lucien, who was still looking at her. Being looked at by such a handsome and strong man, her cheeks blushed a little, but she quickly recovered and continued to ask some other questions.
"Sooo, why did you come to Tokyo, Lucien-san?"
Of course, she knew the reason why he came to Tokyo, but she wanted to hear from him. She was measuring him as an individual. How sincere is he, and how much will he tell her?
"I have only one target. To annihilate Washuu Clan and Vasuki."
Said Lucien with a serious expression. If this was said by some other person, Itori would laugh at him and at his stupidity. But regarding Lucien, she had a different view because he may be able to accomplish that.
"This is something that normally ghouls wouldn't even dream of. You know their power better than anybody else."
What Itori said was undoubtedly the truth. He knew their power better than anybody. But Washuu Clan wasn't as united as it seemed. They were many individuals who wanted their downfall and destruction. Lucien only needed one thing.
Wait.
He needed to wait for the right time to attack.
"Don't worry about me. You know that Washuu Clan isn't as united as it was. I only need to wait for an opportunity to act. And that time would come soon."
Smiled Lucien at her. He knew that the time was coming, and soon the machines of war would start, and blood would be shed. Only three months were before Steel Beem Incident. Lucien had only a short time to prepare.
Firstly he needed the best information about all strong Ghoul Investigators. Especially those of Associate Special Class and Special Class Ghoul Investigators.
Secondly, he needed to contact Aogiri Tree and discuss some things with their One-Eyed King.
And lastly, he wanted to contact Washuu Kichimura. He managed in the original timeline to massacre the entire Washuu Clan. However, Lucien knew that this wouldn't be possible in this world cause here are Washuu's far more powerful, but he still had his uses and that he could create havoc from inside the clan and V.
"Itori-san, you as the best information broker, so I would like to purchase some information."
She was the best information broker around, so he would be stupid not to ask her. He only wondered what she would want as payment. She usually took only other information like payment or maybe some interesting things.
"Oya, and what kind?"
Asked Itori with a surprised voice. She was happy that Lucien asked her for help because she could ask for something in return.
"Commission of Counter Ghoul, all information about their Associate Special Classes and Special Classes, especially Arima Kishou and Squad Zero. Then information about Vasuki and their most notable agents if you have some. And lastly, about all S-Rated ghouls and above."
Itori listened to him and was surprised by how much information he wanted. But soon seductive smile appeared on her face as she looked at Lucien.
"Somewhat greedy, Lucien-san, aren't you? But it is no problem. It would be ready for several days."
Smiled Itori as she looked, this time at the glass of her blood wine. Lucien was surprised that she didn't talk about the price of that information because they were very valuable pieces of information. When he was still spacing out, her voice brought him to reality.
"As fooor price. Let me see. You need to come here at least once every two days and talk to me."
This was a rather unusual form of payment, but Lucien was more than happy with it. He could spend time with Itori and get the critical information for free. Double kill.
"Good. So I will come here every day then, my lady."
Lucien stood up and lightly kissed Itori's hand. This had left her dazed for a while, and her cheeks were red a little bit. When she woke up from this shock, she noticed that Lucien was nowhere to be found and she was alone in the bar.
"What an interesting and powerful man. He is even handsome. Hmm, things would be interesting now when we have another player in our game of the cycle of destruction."
Said Itori with a happy voice. 'But he sure is bold. To kiss my hand without any warning.'
In contrast to the original timeline in this world, Itori never had any feelings towards the opposite gender. It could be said that Lucien was the first man whose she looked in another way.
In the original world, there was always hinted that Itori had some romantic feelings towards Uta.
