Dragon Clan: No one wants me, Lu Mingfei.

Chapter 395: The Swan and the Profiteer, the Boy and the Lion

Facts have proved that even if magic beans are mixed with croton seeds, it will not affect its magic.

Before dinner, Uesugi Koshi and Minamoto Chitose finally crawled out of the bathroom. The bandaged monster who originally resembled Conan's childhood shadow turned back into a handsome young man. The light of shattered dreams in his eyes was rekindled, and his eyes looking at Sakurai Kogure were full of eagerness.

Uesugi Yue, who was old and had to rely on makeup to hide his haggard appearance, washed off his foundation. His old face looked a lot younger, from an old man in his eighties or nineties to a young man in his sixties or seventies.

Eri watched her two brothers closely, and she didn't need to find any differences; she could tell them apart simply by their ethereal auras.

The one with firm eyes, strong aura and skillful movements is Yuan Zhisheng, and the one with gentle eyes and gentle brows is Yuan Zhinu. Well, the latter is a little shorter, maybe because of the lack of exercise and nutrition in the mountains?
No one answered her doubts. Yuan Zhisheng was excited to see his brother and father recovering as before. He forgot all the speechlessness he had felt about Xia Di's prank. If the occasion had not been inappropriate, he would have wanted to take them to the hospital for another check-up.

The three of them sat down again. Xia Di glanced at the two women and asked them to sit down without caring whether women were not allowed to sit at the table.

He still admired these two beautiful girls who dared to love and hate.

With two more people eating at the small dining table, it should be very lively for eight people, but compared with the five people watching the show not far away, it seems a bit deserted.

The two beautiful girls had a huge gap in status and identity, and they ate in silence without saying a word. Genjitsu felt guilty and kept silent, but just gave all the delicacies on his plate to Eri. Anyway, he didn't feel hungry after eating the Senzu beans.

Gen Chisei was also stuffed with a Senzu Bean by Eri just now, but he didn't know if this was a low-end version developed by Xia Di that required consuming energy in the body to enhance recovery from injuries. At the moment, he was starving and a little worried about his younger brother, so he shared half of his food with him.

Eri did not reject the little brother's kindness. She said thank you softly and began to eat in small but steady and high-frequency bites.

Beside him, Uesugi Yue looked at his three children who were all friendly and respectful to each other, with a look of satisfaction on his face. His old face was almost smiling like a chrysanthemum.

But soon, he found that something seemed to be wrong. The atmosphere among the three siblings was too harmonious, and it was difficult for him, an old father, to get involved.

If you force it, it'll be like Mona Lisa smiling with her mouth wide open, or the armless Venus doing Schwarzenegger's most classic side biceps extension pose, giving a feeling of "I'm not here to join this family but to break it up."

The meal was quite bland. Lu Mingfei and Xia Di had learned bad lessons and were openly appreciating the interaction between the family and secretly rejoicing in their hearts.

After finishing the dessert in one gulp, Xia Di picked up the goblet and took a sip. The sweet and sour taste of freshly squeezed grape juice bloomed in his mouth. Then he looked at the three people opposite him, who had different expressions on their faces: "When are you going to leave Japan?"

Now is the best time to leave while the Eight Snake Families and the Secret Party are busy dealing with the mess between Herzog and the White King. If we wait until they are free, it will be hard to say whether we should leave or stay.

"Just these two days." Uesugi Yue was somewhat helpless, "Because of the earthquake, the people of the Sheqi Eight Clan were worried that something might happen to my house and the collection inside, so they moved all the things to the headquarters.

It might be difficult to take these things away, so I'll see if I can find someone to cheat me... and sell them at a low price."

His original savings were enough to buy a property in France and hold a decent funeral, but it was not enough to give his two children and future daughter-in-law a rich life, after all, the exchange rate between the yen and the euro was there.

"But I have something even more valuable. Just like those antiques, if I want to sell it for money, it will attract the attention of the Sheqi Eight Clan." Uesugi Yue said, taking out a brown paper envelope from his arms and placing it on the table, pushing it in front of Xia Di:

"Here is a land deed that has been kept in the safe of Mitsubishi Bank for more than 60 years and has only just come to light today.

When I was still the supreme leader of the underworld, the Eight Snake Families helped me to buy a lot of properties, including the street I go to most often, so I have actually been living on my own land all these years.

Although the landmark buildings were demolished and the Krishna Shrine built for the emperor was turned into a community church, it is still located at the back gate of the University of Tokyo, so the location is still good and it can be sold for a good price.”

In fact, when he found the person in charge of Mitsui Real Estate who had accepted the commission to take out the title deed, he learned the value of the street from him. If he tried hard, he could ask for ten billion US dollars.

But if the deal is made urgently, the transaction price will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, especially since Uesugi Yue's requirement is to complete the transaction within two days. Even Mitsui Real Estate cannot find a suitable buyer in such a short time.

Far water cannot quench a nearby fire, so Uesugi Yue decided to ask Xia Di for a favor and accept the land deed.

Even if it's half sold and half given away, it doesn't matter. I can just consider it as food and living expenses for Eri.

Xia Di understood what he meant, but did not open the envelope to check. He flipped his hand and a business card appeared at his fingertips, which flew towards Uesugi Yue in a snap.

After the latter took it, Xia Di said, "Find this person, she will prepare a new identity and bearer account for you."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Yue raised the business card and found that it was very simple. There were only four big words "Black Gold Swan" and a phone number on the warm yellow card. There was not even a logo or contact address.

If it was given by someone else, Uesugi Yue would definitely think it was a joke, but the opponent was most likely an invincible existence in the world, so he chose to believe it sincerely and was ready to contact this black swan as soon as possible.

Although Gen Chisei and Gen Chijou had served as successors of the organization for a period of time, they were exposed to very limited things and had never heard of this nickname that was famous in the underground world and financial circles.

"If you plan to finish things here before leaving, you can contact her. She has special channels to help you leave, but the fee may be a bit expensive." Xia Di put away the parchment and gave a friendly reminder to be careful of unscrupulous businessmen. After all, the little swan is not just after money.

"It's okay. As long as I can get away from other people's sight, it doesn't matter how much money I spend." Uesugi Yue waved his hand, then turned to look at Yuan Zhisheng. Although he really wanted to slip away at night, he still respected Haodaer's wishes and let him finish what he did here.

Minamoto Chikōnō didn't care about anything except his half wing, but Minamoto Chikōsō, in addition to the beautiful girl who never left him, also had two loyal retainers. How to accommodate them was a big problem.

In the previous battle, Yasha was stabbed several times in order to protect him, and Crow was seriously injured by Uesugi Yue and has been lying in bed without waking up. At this moment, the two of them are fellow patients in the same ward. If he abandons his two retainers and leaves alone, the justice in his heart will completely collapse.

Those two guys are ambitious and powerful underworld saints who only want to climb up and become big shots. It would be a waste of talent for them to follow him to Europe to retire/find people, so the best way is to transfer all his credit to Crow and Yaksha, so that they have a foundation to stand on.

Leave them some real estate to prevent them from spending all their money and becoming penniless.

As for the others...sorry, I'm not familiar with them.

"By the way, I'm going to take Eri and the others to Disneyland later. Do you want to come with us?"

Xia Di suddenly spoke up, disrupting Yuan Zhisheng's thoughts. He asked in confusion, "Tokyo Disneyland is closed today. Are you planning to force them to open for business?"

He had thought about bringing his brother to Tokyo to live and play more than once, and he had also thought about taking Eri to the amusement park when she got better. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he naturally didn't want to miss it. "No, I'm going to take them to Disneyland in France." Xia Di supported his chin with one hand, and the smile on his face was like a devil that bewitched people:
"So, are you going to take a one-way trip where you can leave at any time and never come back without paying for it, or are you going to spend a lot of money on a trip at your own expense?"

Yuan Zhisheng had two choices before him. He knew that Xia Di had a magical prop that looked like a door to anywhere, which could allow him to smuggle into France without anyone noticing. But he knew without thinking that this guy would not give him too much time to prepare. It would probably be time for them to set off after they went back upstairs to pack their luggage.

"Don't worry, your two followers are both good fighters. The Sheqi Eight Clan has lost a large number of elite soldiers, so there is no need to worry about them not being able to shine." Uesugi Yue saw that Haodaer was struggling, "I am really worried, so I will ask Angers to ask Inuyama He to take care of him.

And you can also leave a letter for them, or call or send a text message, so it doesn’t count as leaving without saying goodbye.”

Although I hate the Sheqi Eight Clan, I have to say that as a gangster, they are still commendable in terms of loyalty and righteousness (towards their own people). With Yaksha's merits and Crow's abilities, there is no need to worry that they will be neglected and hidden. After all, this is not the entertainment industry.

After some guidance, Yuan Zhisheng finally came out of his dilemma and prepared to arrange everything while Xia Di and the others were packing up.

……

In the hospital under the control of Sheqi Bajia, Angé was sitting in front of the bed, peeling an apple with a fruit knife in his hand.

Although his injuries were equally serious, he did not lose his ability to move and continued to work after simple treatment.

He had just finished arguing with Fuma Kotaro and had tested the other party's bottom line for concessions, so he was ready to slowly attack him in the following period of time.

When he came on behalf of the secret party to subdue the eight families of Sheqi, it took him several years to completely break their backbones. Although their broken backbones have been reconnected now, as long as the steel nails used to fix them are knocked out, they can still crawl at the feet of the secret party.

The competition and wrangling between forces cannot be achieved overnight and requires consideration of many aspects. The exposure of the descendants of the White King is destined to make this tiny place unable to remain peaceful.

The secret party members will make the Japanese hybrids reveal all the secrets. Although he, as the leader of the secret party, already knows most of it, some things still have to be handed over to his subordinates to let them show their presence.

On the hospital bed, Inuyama He, who was wrapped like a mummy, half tilted his head and looked at the old man with sharp knife skills beside him in a daze, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Speaking of which, after his father and sister passed away, he never lay in a hospital bed and received care from others like this again.

Even when he was beaten all over by American soldiers whose girlfriend refused to pay him, he just stayed in the hospital alone. Later, he was accepted as a student by Angers and was beaten all over during training more than once, but this man would not comfort him or send him to the hospital. He would only step on his head and insult him in fluent Japanese swear words, trampling on his dignity and destroying his self-confidence.

At that time, he could endure all inhuman pain and torture in order to restore the glory of the Inuyama family. Even if everyone said that Ange was training a dog, training an obedient dog that could help the secret party control the Sheqi family, he still enjoyed it.

Because these pains and humiliations could not defeat him, they would only make him stronger, enabling him to protect himself and the people he cared about from suffering humiliating treatment, and allowing him to become the most powerful figure among the Eight Clans of Sheqi at that time.

After abdicating, he rarely showed up in public except for fighting for the Inuyama family's deserved interests. He seemed to be enjoying his old age, but he had been honing his skills in secret.

Because he knew that he would meet Angers again in the future, and then he would present the answer sheet he had spent nearly sixty years preparing for his teacher.

It’s a pity that he no longer had the chance to hand in his answer.

When Herzog woke up from his coma, he was accidentally attacked by the attacker. His unprotected right arm was shattered, his left arm that was holding a knife to block was broken into three sections, six ribs were broken, and problems were found in his spine during subsequent tests.

Such a devastating injury would be difficult to recover from even when he was young and his dragon blood was at its most active, let alone he was already an old man in his eighties.

The doctor didn't say it explicitly, but he knew very well that it would be difficult for him to operate again in the future.

The era of the swift swordsman Inuyama Kazuha is completely over.

"Sorry, teacher, I disappoint you. My answer sheet is not ready yet." Inuyama He looked away and looked at the cold ceiling. He felt as if he was back to the day when he first met Angers. He was also in such a miserable state.

At that time he lost the most important ability as a man,
Now he has lost the most basic ability as a swordsman.

The former allowed him to endure all humiliation and climb from the valley to the top, but the latter made him fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

But he did not feel panic or helpless. If there was any problem with his body, he would treat it. If his right hand was disabled, he would practice with his left hand. Anyway, he had already experienced the journey from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley and then to the top of the mountain. Now he was just walking the old path again. Who knows, he might even gain new insights.

In the old eyes, the cowardly and embarrassed boy has grown into a lion. Even though he is old and covered with wounds, he does not show the sadness of a boy like he did sixty years ago. He just hopes to recover from his injuries and scare the beasts with his roar again, to prove to the old lion who rescued him from the cruel jungle and taught him how to hunt, that he is now a qualified lion.

Ange just chuckled when he heard this, cut the apple in his hand into bite-sized pieces, and then stabbed one of the pieces with a knife:
"I heard from that guy Uesugi Yue that you have a very fast sword."

"Yeah." Inuyama He did not deny it, "I thought that the knife was very fast, but it was still not enough."

"That's the answer sheet you prepared?"

"Ah."

"Did he get hurt?"

"No."

"Then practice again." Angers shook the apple in his hand, "I beat him to a pulp back then."

"Okay, teacher." Inuyama He curled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, feeling genuinely happy that he had a second chance to submit his answer sheet.

"Don't force yourself, it's ugly." Angé pushed the apple in front of the disappointing student.

"Yes." Inuyama He opened his mouth and bit the apple, and a sense of peace, tranquility and warmth that he had not felt for a long time surged in his heart.

It was like going back to the last century, when Angira took the eighteen-year-old boy to the harbor to see the warships, put his hands on his shoulders, and left a precious old photo.
