Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 109 Are You Right?naive! (two in one)

"Patriarch Miyamoto is making some preparations, and you will see me later," said Tachibana Masamune.

"It is inconvenient for me to be present at the high-level meeting, so I will withdraw right now." Sakura bowed deeply.

"Then you go down first." Tachibana Masamune smiled, "Let's chat with the outstanding young people of the academy, and then we can have tea with the old men from the Strategy Department."

"The tea is very fragrant." Lu Mingfei said casually.

A charcoal stove was lit on the table, and on the stove was a Kansai iron pot.

The iron pot is dark and heavy, the upper half is like a durian stalk with countless blunt thorns, and the lower half is carved with a red-faced and long-nosed crow tengu, flying in the flowing clouds and flames with open wings.

There are tea ceremony utensils on the side, it seems that Sheqi Bajia has prepared tea to entertain him.

"Mr. Masamune is Japanese?"

Lu Mingfei looked at Tachibana Masamune suspiciously.

The members of the Sheqi Bajia family have straight noses, deep-set eyes, and facial lines as clear as a knife. They are not like Japanese, but have a bit of European appearance.

But he has pure black pupils, and his words and deeds are all Japanese.

"I'm only half Japanese and half Russian," Tachibana Masamune explained.

Lu Mingfei frowned involuntarily.

A combination of former Russians and Japanese can become the leader of the underworld family. The main components of this family are quite complicated.

Tachibana Masamune asked: "Why did Mr. Lu Mingfei suddenly want to ask about this matter?"

Lu Mingfei said: "Because I don't think Mr. Masamune looks like an East Asian."

"Your eyes are very sharp." Tachibana Masamune smiled, "Yes, my appearance is inherited from my mother, she is a native Russian girl, and I also lived in Russia for about 30 to [-] years when I was young."

"That was the era of the Soviet Union. Everyone ate the food allocated, and the children were proud to wear military uniforms." There was a deep emotion in his appearance, which did not seem to be deceiving.

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, and did not continue to ask.

In fact, he has been seeing that the old man is uncomfortable, or he is uncomfortable with the smell on his body.

A very familiar smell, but I don't know what it is.

Moreover, Tachibana Masamune is of Japanese-Russian mixed blood, so he has nothing to do with China, and logically speaking, he has nothing to do with him.

His parents should be authentic Chinese.

Tachibana Masamune's frank and frank appearance did not seem to be hiding any secrets.

During the conversation, the water boiled.

Tachibana Masamune lifted the iron pot, poured boiling water into the tea bowl, and poured the water away.

This is standard procedure in the Japanese tea ceremony.

Lu Mingfei didn't understand, but he had studied etiquette and art last semester.

The first hot water is specially used to heat the tea bowl.

Immediately afterwards, he picked out two spoons of tea powder with a wooden tea spoon and put them into the tea bowl, then poured a large spoonful of hot water from the iron pot into the tea bowl, and stirred gently with the tea whisk.

His technique is brisk and solemn, and the large sleeves of the linen kimono flutter in the swing, just like a luthier playing in the wind.

In Japan, the tea maker turns the patterned side of the tea bowl towards the tea drinker.

The tea drinker should take the ancient silk gauze as a cushion, turn it clockwise twice, and show respect to the person making the tea with the pattern.

And then... it's complicated anyway.

There are not many other things in this country, but etiquette. Even Lu Mingfei, who doesn't like etiquette, can only give them face here.

No way, from the moment he landed at that airport, he realized that the Japanese branch is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

Don't look at Tachibana Masamune's every move is very ordinary now, who can know what kind of thoughts these underworld bosses are hiding.

But Lu Mingfei would not foolishly praise how amazing he is.

The Japanese branch is a mafia society. If your aura is overwhelmed by the opponent here, it is tantamount to losing the battle.

The atmosphere became more and more tense as Tachibana Masamune fiddled with the tea ceremony.

The other family heads also stared at the pot of tea in the center of the table without saying a word.

Everyone is in a state of high pressure.

Lu Mingfei was waiting, waiting for Masamune Tachibana to mention the mission of the headquarters first.

If he doesn't mention it, I will ask him to mention it with the attack on the Genji Heavy Industries Building today!
But no one expected that the one who broke the atmosphere was the head of the Uesugi family, the girl sitting next to Minamoto.

She held up a post-it note with a small book written on it.

"So slow~"

A small expression expressing inner dissatisfaction was drawn behind the words.

"..."

Following the girl's words, the tense atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Tachibana Masamune covered his mouth and coughed twice seriously.

"Erika, don't make trouble, we are in a meeting!"

"I'm thirsty!"

The head of the Uesugi family, who was called Erika by Mr. Masamune, continued to write.

Erika...

Lu Mingfei recited the name silently, combined with her Uesugi family surname, it was Uesugi Eriyi.

It's a nice name, much nicer than the Hui and that beauty that I often see.

"Be obedient, Erika, there are still a few steps left, and it will be ready soon."

"It's so troublesome, can I play the game first?"

Tachibana Masamune: "..."

"Cooking tea is one of my few specialties. When a distinguished guest comes to visit, I would like to show my respect. Since Patriarch Uesugi finds it troublesome, I won't waste everyone's precious time."

He apologized to Lu Mingfei.

At the same time, he put down the tea in his hand.

"It's okay, I don't care too much, as long as you can drink it." Lu Mingfei picked up the teacup and sipped it.

But after he finished speaking, Tachibana Masamune's complexion turned even darker.

It would be disrespectful to put this on a table full of elders.

But Lu Mingfei is a young man from the headquarters, so he can't say anything.

"Then I wish Mr. Mingfei a happy life in Japan and a smooth mission."

"So can Mr. Masamune tell me the details about the mission? The explosion in your building today is not a good sign."

Lu Mingfei took advantage of the other party's language loopholes and asked back.

The complexions of several Patriarchs at the table suddenly darkened, especially Yuan Zhisheng.

"Mr. Mingfei, these are some minor problems that our Japanese branch can handle completely. You also know that the original intention of the headquarters is not for you to participate, but to supervise us. With your naive ability, we will be able to solve these problems soon. accident."

After Tachibana Masamune poured a cup of tea for everyone present, he put down the teapot and said.

"And Mr. Mingfei, even if you are an S-level student of the headquarters, but the Japanese branch is such a large organization, is it too biased for the headquarters to let you, a student who has only studied for half a year, intervene in our affairs?"

"As the head of the Snaki Hachi Family, although I am not a member of the Japanese branch, I don't want everyone's relationship to become stagnant."

Lu Mingfei picked out his ears and said in surprise, "Is it finished?"

Tachibana Masamune didn't understand where his surprise came from, so he could only nod.

"I thought you were going to give a long speech for an hour to explain the weird behavior of the Japanese branch!"

"So Mr. Masamune also knows what kind of consequences you have not handled well for other places?"

"I……"

Tachibana Masamune wanted to say something, but Lu Mingfei suddenly slapped the table heavily.

A terrifying aura spread throughout the temple.

His pupils were full of cruel colors, staring at Masamune Tachibana.

"My high school classmates, because of your mistakes, were killed by the demon made by the Monotov cocktail, do you know?"

"He's one of my... best friends in high school!"

"Or, as the head of the Sheqi Ba Family, can you take on... this responsibility?!"

It takes a few seconds for Lu Mingfei to fabricate a lie.

But his attitude full of anger and murderousness is extremely real.

Several Patriarchs were stunned on the spot, thinking that what he said was true.

Only a few such as Minamoto, Inuyamaga, and Uesugi Erika remained unmoved.

"Don't be too presumptuous, boy from the headquarters."

Fumo Kotaro's hoarse voice rubbed against his Adam's apple, warning Lu Mingfei.

"I just need an explanation from the Japanese branch." Lu Mingfei ignored his warning.

To tell the truth.

According to the division of the dragon king being greater than the second-generation species and greater than the hybrid species, all the hybrid species here are not enough for him to fight.

So he is not afraid of the Japanese branch turning his face.

The scene was silent for a long time.

In the end, it was the masters of the Bajia of Sheqi who spoke first.

"Sorry, I didn't know about this beforehand, please forgive me if I cause you any trouble."

"However, the matter of the Monotov cocktail does involve a lot of things within our country, and your intervention by the headquarters will make us very distressed."

There is still no room for bargaining in his meaning.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei decided to take some harsh medicine, he sneered.

"Referring to the ghosts? Or..."

Tachibana Masamune's pupils slowly narrowed, and a rare panic appeared in his calm expression.

Yuan Zhisheng had never seen him like this before.

In his eyes before, Tachibana Masamune would always look like the world's major events were under my control.

Only this time... only this person...

Lu Mingfei, he touched Tachibana Masamune's red line of fire hidden under his calmness.

"Or... the White King?"

Lu Mingfei said this in a questioning tone, but his expression was affirmative.

When the word "White King" came out of his mouth, all the patriarchs present, except the Uesugi family, were in an uproar.

Their brains went blank.

After all, the secret that had been hidden for so many years was suddenly revealed by a young student who was just a fledgling and still a child. No big boss could accept such a result.

Tachibana Masamune's breathing gradually became heavier.

He got it.

Angers attaches so much importance to this man not only because he is S rank.

Obviously, when we were facing him before, he couldn't feel his murderous aura leaking out, but in the next second, the murderous aura covered the entire temple.

Obviously judged by both Sakura and Yuan Zhisheng as ordinary and low in IQ, he quickly showed an extremely sophisticated side.

More importantly, he actually knew the secret about himself!

No... no, maybe he doesn't know yet.

What he knew was the secret about Sheqi Baji... Yes, if what he knew were his own secrets and plans, it would be impossible for him to sit here peacefully drinking tea and talking with them.

As for the secrets of the Snake Ba Family... it doesn't hurt to let the other party know.

"That's right, the Monotov cocktail was caused by the demons. Since Mr. Mingfei already knows it, then the headquarters must also know it." Tachibana Masamune said in a deep voice, "Our Eight Snakes have been white for generations. The bloodlines of kings have high bloodline purity, but they also take huge risks, and are very unstable, and the Ghost Clan is an organization formed by members of the family whose bloodlines were out of control and defected."

"Mr. Masamune!" Yuan Zhisheng stood up abruptly, he did not expect Tachibana Masamune to sell the secrets of the Saki Hachi Family so easily.

In response, Tachibana Masamune waved him to sit down.

Although Yuanzhi Shengsu is the next Patriarch who will inherit his position, in the Eight Houses of Sheqi, Tachibana Masamune still holds his own.

Even though Yuan Zhisheng was full of doubts, he could only sit down holding his breath.

"We are also very troubled by the existence of the fierce ghosts. If Mr. Ming Fei is really willing to solve it, our Japanese branch will naturally be happy to help."

"But those are a bunch of crazy guys. Our branch doesn't like to let the outstanding students of our branch take this risk. Mr. Mingfei, it's for your own good not to let you intervene!"

"You're right, so you're sure that I'm not the opponent of the ghosts?" Lu Mingfei smiled, "Or...you don't want to let me know about the secrets of the ghosts?"

Tachibana Masamune had cold sweat on his forehead.

He knew that he had to be calm at this time.

Don't panic, don't mess up, at least don't let Lu Mingfei see his strangeness.

But Lu Mingfei's words really hit his weakness.

Among the fierce ghosts, there is indeed his biggest secret, and this secret must not be known to Lu Mingfei in the first place.

Once he knows, it means that the headquarters will know, and all his plans will collapse at that time.

"How is it possible, Mr. Mingfei, our Japanese branch has always been aboveboard."

Tachibana Masamune pretended to be calm and said.

"However, Mr. Mingfei's strength has yet to be tested. I think that if you don't have too much strength to face those desperadoes, your life will be in danger. If something happens to a guest, the headquarters will blame us."

"Are you right? Childish!"

When he said this, he looked at Yuan Zhisheng, his eyes understood everything.

stop him.

Minamoto understood Tachibana Masamune's meaning.
