"Master, Lin Ye and Miss Erii have already left."
Sakura spoke calmly from behind.
"Yes, they've all left..."
Yuan Zhisheng murmured with a sigh.
All of this felt like a dream to him. Despite his thorough preparations, especially mental ones, he still felt an emptiness in his heart after Erii left.
For more than a decade, Erii has almost always been by his side. Sometimes, if she is away on a mission for more than a week and does not return to Genji Heavy Industries, Genji will be worried. But when Genji rushes to Genji Heavy Industries, she will always stay in the isolation room. Even if she occasionally runs away from home, she will return quickly.
However, it seems Erii won't be returning anytime soon after running away from home. The boy named Lin Ye has finally succeeded in abducting his beloved sister. More importantly, his brother-in-law personally escorted her to the airport.
Genji suddenly burst out laughing.
At that moment, he remembered a saying in the East: "You've been sold out, and you're still helping the seller count the money." Wasn't that exactly his situation now?
He personally "sold" his younger sister Erii to a boy, and now he's still smiling foolishly, even helping the boy count the money. Speaking of which, he's still an incompetent older brother. Although Erii has forgiven him, to some extent, Genji feels that he's completely benefiting from his brother-in-law, Lin Ye. If it weren't for Lin Ye's appearance and the untying of Erii's inner knots, allowing Erii to undergo a transformation and self-redemption, and ultimately usher in her own life, Erii would still be that self-isolated girl, whom he himself had confined to a secret room.
Although Genjiro had repeatedly told Erii that she wasn't a monster, his actions, including confining her to an isolation room, were constantly telling Erii that she was indeed a very dangerous monster. To some extent, Erii's loneliness and personality flaws over the years were entirely due to her older brother, Lin Ye. Fortunately, all of this changed with the appearance of Lin Ye.
Perhaps in Erii's world, the appearance of Lin Ye was like an angel descending. So Genji felt he had nothing to worry about anymore. Now that Lin Ye had left Tokyo with Erii, heading towards their happy ending, he should be smiling.
Thinking of this, Genji reached into his pocket, wanting to pull out a Gentle Seven Star cigarette, but then remembered that this was the airport's immigration hall and smoking was prohibited, so he pulled his hand out.
"Let's go..."
Genji said to the girl behind him.
He turned and left first.
Sakura looked up at the man's departing figure and suddenly felt that at this moment, the patriarch, Genjiro, seemed to have come to a realization, or perhaps he had untied some kind of knot in his heart.
Sakura's lips curled up slightly.
But then I thought, maybe the other party has overlooked something?
There was one more thing Sakura didn't tell Genji: Erii not only gave Genji a personal letter, but also one for Sakura. In the letter, she mentioned that she should get along well with this matriarch in the future and wished them a happy ending...
I wonder if Ms. Erii misunderstood that sentence, or...
However, judging from Genji's expression, it seemed as if the other party had never read that sentence, even though Erii had mentioned it in her letter and had also instructed her brother in the same way.
Or is it that a patriarch is simply not needed?
Whether or not it's necessary seems to be entirely Sakura's own opinion.
Just like back in the hospital, when Genjiro kissed her instinctively. Before that, Sakura always felt that Genjiro didn't seem to have any needs in that area, but after that time...
Maybe I should take the initiative...
Sakura thought for a moment, then followed Genjiro's steps.
……
"Master, come with us now. We'll give you a ride, and we'll send someone to deliver your noodle stall to your place."
Outside the airport's immigration hall, Yuan Zhisheng spoke to the old man who was also walking out of the hall.
Yuan Zhisheng looked at the unassuming old man in front of him, but a sense of solemnity rose in his heart. Not long ago, the solemn and powerful aura that the old man had exuded had deeply shocked him. Yuan Zhisheng knew that the old man in front of him was definitely not simple and must be hiding great strength.
How could an elderly person with such great strength be of low status in Japan? Or perhaps he is just selling ramen in Tokyo as a hobby, or perhaps he lives a life of anonymity in Tokyo. But one thing is certain: he is definitely not a simple person.
Moreover, Genji even had a feeling that if this ramen master were to suddenly attack him, Genji wasn't entirely confident he could withstand it, and he even felt that he might be instantly killed by the other party.
Therefore, Genji suggested personally seeing off this ramen master. After all, the man possessed such terrifying strength. Even if such combat power wouldn't become part of the Hebi-Hachi family's strength, Genji didn't want him to join the Oni Clan. After all, they were a group of fierce demons with all sorts of conspiracies and schemes. No one knew if they would pull this old man into their camp once they discovered him. So he wanted to build a good relationship with this old man now, so that even if they couldn't become allies in the future, at least they wouldn't be enemies.
"Young man, I appreciate your kind offer, but I plan to go back by myself now. I'll get my ramen stall repaired when I get back."
"But……"
It seems that Genjiro still needs to try harder.
The old man shook his head, then straightened his slightly disheveled headscarf, and said casually, "Young man, I know what you're thinking, but since I'm willing to live in Tokyo in anonymity, it's because I don't want to be disturbed. I know that your Genji Heavy Industries represents a very powerful family and a very powerful force. But since I chose to sell ramen, it's because I don't want to cause any trouble."
Don't worry, just like in my current situation, I'm simply a ramen chef, and I just want to live a quiet, unassuming life. So I hope you can understand.
The old master looked at Yuan Zhisheng with a calm gaze, yet there was an indescribable air of authority.
He knew that if he didn't reveal his thoughts, Genjiro might continue to talk to him and even target him, so he might as well be honest at this moment.
He simply wanted a peaceful and simple life. Having chosen to become a ramen master, all the past grievances and ups and downs had long since subsided in his heart. He didn't want to cause any more trouble, nor did he want to be disturbed by others. So, the old man expressed his desire at this moment. If Genji still couldn't understand, and something truly bloody happened in the future, then I'm truly sorry.
Upon hearing the old master's words, Genji opened his mouth, but in the end, he gave up completely with a wry smile.
He also understood the meaning behind the old master's words. Since the other party insisted on this, why should he continue to insist? It might backfire and even arouse the old master's displeasure. Perhaps if he wanted to win the other party over, he would rather go to the other party's shop and eat a couple more bowls of ramen, of course, just as a customer.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhisheng said nothing more. Watching the old man's departing figure, just as Yuan Zhisheng was about to get into the car and leave, he suddenly turned around and saw a peerless figure standing on the extremely high railing on the other side.
The other person was dressed in a gorgeous theatrical costume, with her sleeves fluttering in the misty rain, like a noble concubine who might fly away in the wind and rain at any moment.
Yuan Zhisheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
The other party was none other than Kazama Ruri, the Dragon King of the Demon Clan, but he was not his younger brother.
By the time Genjiro came to his senses, the other person had already disappeared.
Yuan Zhisheng then realized that the other party must have come to see him off as well.
Chapter 141 All the missed good things must be made up for!
"Oh my gosh! Lin Ye, look over there! What a huge iron box!"
As Lin Ye led Erii through the waiting room to board the plane.
Erii suddenly saw the private jet parked in the square and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
In the plaza, a Gulfstream G550 was parked on the silver-gray runway, looking like a steel beast about to take flight in the misty rain.
In Erii's mind, airplanes were only the size of a palm, or an egg. Although Lin Ye had explained the shape and size of airplanes to her today, perhaps because of that deeply ingrained idea, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when she saw this Gulfstream private jet.
Erii stood under the wing, gazing up at the giant aircraft. She could see a porthole embedded in the side of the plane, similar to the one in the isolated chamber of the original Genji Heavy Industries. The only difference was that through this porthole, Erii had seen a deathly white expanse, devoid of any color, indifferent and empty, where time seemed to stand still. But through this plane's porthole, she could see the entire world, a completely different landscape. The girl was deeply moved. Erii was already filled with anticipation as she sat in the plane, looking out the porthole at the scenery outside, which she imagined would be an unimaginably magnificent sight.
"Eri, let's go up now."
Lin Ye held Erii's hand and could feel her joy, not only because she was about to take her first flight on this plane, but also because she was looking forward to the journey ahead.
Even Lin Ye couldn't help but marvel at the Sheqi Eight Families' extravagant spending.
Gulfstream private jets like these are top-of-the-line business jets, and those who can fly on such business jets are at least businessmen worth tens of billions, or superstars and national dignitaries. This Gulfstream is also known as the Pearl of the Sky. People who can fly on such business jets can often cross the entire Pacific Ocean in just a few hours, or even just a short rest.
Perhaps when you board the plane, you'll still be in the New York City night sky. When you open your eyes, you'll see the golden sunrise slowly rising. Bathed in sunlight, flocks of white doves will be on the Eiffel Tower in Paris, rising and falling to the chorus of a choir. At the same time, the Gulfstream's engines are designed to be extremely quiet. Even when flying at high speed in the stratosphere, you won't be able to hear the roar of the engines. It's like a deep-sea blue whale slowly swimming in the water, moving at lightning speed.
When Lin Ye led Erii into the cabin, even though he already knew how luxurious it was, he couldn't help but be amazed when he actually saw the interior. The facilities were completely up to the standard of a five-star presidential suite, with genuine leather sofas and black and white marble that looked grand and magnificent.
Lin Ye had seen this black and white marble table in a magazine before. It was designed by the famous designer Lapis Lacida and cost several tens of thousands of dollars. Various kinds of fruits were placed on the marble tabletop, such as Roman Ruby grapes and mangoes known as the "Sons of the Sun".
You should know that even a tiny bit of it is priceless and unavailable outside.
The fruits were perfectly arranged in the fruit platter, displaying an extremely bright and tempting luster, making Erii's mouth water.
"Kongnijiwa".
Just as Lin Ye and Erii were about to go up and enjoy the feast, two uniformed young ladies walked out of the cabin. The two women had sweet faces and wore black stockings. When they bent over, their graceful figures seemed to be able to squeeze out water.
Erii greeted him with a smile, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons. But Lin Ye suddenly felt a strange unease. Something was very wrong. He felt that these two flight attendants were top-notch in terms of figure, temperament, and appearance, a true test of a normal man's attitude and composure. Now that they were here, perhaps his brother-in-law, Genjiro, was deliberately testing him. Therefore, Lin Ye deliberately maintained a solemn expression, afraid of revealing even a hint of joy, lest his brother-in-law misunderstand.
However, seeing Lin Ye's suddenly solemn face made the two flight attendants feel a sense of dread. Even though they were very well-mannered and well-trained, they couldn't help but tremble with fear at this moment, afraid that Lin Ye would suddenly draw the long knife at his side and stab two holes in them.
After all, passengers who can afford to fly on this Gulfstream business jet are all either rich or powerful, or have power, money, or both. These people live extremely luxurious lives and are equally uninhibited in their behavior. If they were to offend the other party and they were to be attacked, the two flight attendants would probably be powerless to defend themselves.
Just as they were trembling with fear, Lin Ye nodded politely. Before he could speak, Erii darted out and headed straight for the fruit platter on the marble table in front of them.
Actually, Erii didn't just want to eat this delicious fruit; she was also thirsty. On her way to the airport, Erii couldn't resist sneaking a bite of the duck neck that the ramen chef had given her, so she was thirsty now. And now, seeing the extremely tempting fruit on the table, how could this little glutton resist?
She pounced on it with a series of "oohs" and "oohs," holding a dragon fruit in her left hand and a large lemon in her right, splattering juice everywhere. Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh at her, so he stepped forward, pulled out a tissue from the side, and wiped Erii's cheeks.
However, before he could completely clean the girl's beautiful face, Erii eagerly shoved the watermelon into Lin Ye's mouth, instantly turning him into a little cat covered in watermelon. But Lin Ye began to eat it without restraint, after all, the fruit was just too tempting, and Erii was being so hospitable, so how could Lin Ye refuse?
So they began to feast.
The two flight attendants became even more apprehensive. They knew that Lin Ye's solemn demeanor had made them feel nervous earlier, but seeing the two of them eating the fruit on the stone table with such abandon now seemed almost crazy. However, being top-notch flight attendants, the two flight attendants didn't say anything. Watching the two of them eat so happily, they exchanged a glance and then silently went to the back to cut another fruit plate.
And while Lin Ye and Erii were eating fruit, they weren't idle either. They opened the duck necks that the master chef had brought, and the delicious aroma of braised meat wafted out. Erii's beautiful eyes lit up again, because she was no longer thirsty and her appetite for the braised duck necks had been rekindled.
You can also see hot air flowing around the duck neck, which means it was obviously made recently.
Erii ate bite by bite, and Lin Ye could fully imagine that in that extremely limited time, the ramen master chef was working at full speed in the workshop, and the intensity of the situation was even more intense than fighting Deadpool, because the other party knew that they were about to board the plane, so they had to go all out.
Lin Ye also took a bite, and the taste was indeed very authentic. It wasn't made hastily due to time constraints; it was clearly made with care.
Lin Ye couldn't help but recall the old master's pale face when they were seeing each other off in the hall. It was obvious that he was weak due to excessive consumption of his energy. However, the old man had been seeing them off since he appeared, and he always looked energetic. He even kept telling Lin Ye to take good care of Erii and that he would even officiate their wedding in the future.
Lin Ye felt a pang of emotion; he actually considered the other party his father-in-law, but he hadn't really said it out loud.
Soon, the Gulfstream G550 began to take off on the silver-gray runway. Through the porthole, one could see a light drizzle falling in the night sky. Tokyo looked incredibly beautiful under the drizzle, like a candle burning brightly in the darkness of a divine sacrifice.
"Lin Ye, look over there, it's so beautiful!"
Erii pressed her head against the porthole, gazing at the scenery outside, and wrote in her notebook, equally awestruck by the dreamlike beauty, for Lin Ye to see.
"Yes, it is indeed very beautiful..."
Lin Ye murmured something like a dream.
However, at this moment he did not look at the city of Tokyo outside the porthole, but at the girl's poetic and beautiful face. A light rain was falling outside, enveloping the entire city of Tokyo. Perhaps Lin Ye was not at all amazed by the beauty of Tokyo, but was amazed by the beauty emanating from the girl beside him.
Looking at Erii's hopeful face, Lin Ye felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility rise in his heart.
The scenery outside was just ordinary, but for Erii, the girl rarely left that isolated room. Even when she did, she would quickly return for various reasons, eventually obediently going back to that white cage. Now, just this ordinary scenery was enough to move Erii deeply. This showed that it would take a long time for the girl's heart to be completely healed. Therefore, Lin Ye felt that he had to make sure Erii experienced more beauty in the future, and also protect the girl.
Before she knew it, tears streamed down Erii's beautiful face.
"What's wrong, Erii? Why are you crying? Do you miss your brother?" Lin Ye asked with concern.
Erii shook her head and wrote in her notebook: "Erii didn't miss her brother. Erii always felt that the scenery outside was too beautiful. Erii missed so many beautiful things in the past, and suddenly she felt so sad. Erii felt even more lost because she didn't get to appreciate these beautiful things with Lin Ye and missed so many wonderful years. Lin Ye, I'm sorry..."
"Fool, how could that be?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
Even after all that, Erii was still thinking of others, not herself.
How could a girl like that not be touching?
Or perhaps it is precisely because Erii has been so understanding over the years that she has not truly broken free of that cage and become a real monster.
