Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

"Burn it down. It's a detached house, and with the rain, the fire won't spread. It shouldn't affect anyone else."

"Let the whole of Tokyo see what happens when you take action against me and the Tobunkai."

Uesugi Kiyoshi stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly raised as he looked into the deep night, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

He wasn't one to be soft-hearted.

My master said that if I don't make a move, I won't do it at all; but if I do, I must finish the job.

He's now entangled with the Yakuza. Although he has the Collectors Association and many allies as his backing, there will definitely be a lot of trouble to come.

Therefore, the best way is to make people fear him.

In the ultimate path, the most important thing is reverence.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is vividly demonstrated.

Moreover, he and Yuan Longhai already had a grudge.

The grudge of being killed and having one's door broken down.

This grudge will not be quelled until it is avenged.

Flames shot into the sky as Uesugi Kiyoshi departed in the rain.

Tonight, we will repay the debts of karma and settle all grudges!

Chapter 155 Commission

Today is Friday again.

Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon should be afternoon tea time.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was indeed drinking tea, but it wasn't black tea; it was herbal tea.

He's been practically living in the Baiwen Pavilion lately, and he's discovered that Li Fuyao is an encyclopedia, far more useful than any search engine.

Search engines won't tell him which demon kings reigned supreme during the Heian period, nor will they tell him about the dream tides caused by the Oma Twilight, nor will they tell him how many evil spirits once donned divine robes, or how many gods have fallen into evil.

When the young girl rested her chin on her hand and casually recounted many secrets not mentioned in historical records, Uesugi Kiyoshi always felt his worldview being challenged time and time again.

Today was no exception; the door to the Hyakumonkan was half open, and a light drizzle was falling outside, with no sign of the sunset.

After taking a sip of the invigorating tea, Uesugi Kiyoshi leaned back in his wheelchair, feeling somewhat bored.

From last weekend to this Friday, these were probably the most leisurely days he'd had in both his lifetimes combined.

He was so relaxed that he was almost becoming complacent.

At this time last week, he met Maki Azuma for the first time and rescued her from the demons of Mount Oe.

Now, his words carry significant weight in the Dongwen Association.

Fate and life are both wondrous things.

Li Fuyao moved a chair and sat down next to Uesugi Kiyoshi, lazily curling up in the large chair, idly flipping through the book in her hands—Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't know what the book was, and he didn't recognize the words on it.

The atmosphere between the two was harmonious, even somewhat warm.

Just when he thought the day would pass peacefully, some familiar footsteps sounded.

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned, coughed lightly, and said casually, "Fuyao, it's a bit cold. Close the door, and it's best to lock it."

"I've finally managed to take a few days off, so I hope no uninvited guests will disturb my peace and quiet."

Li Fuyao raised her eyebrows and revealed a slightly teasing smile. Although she was about to stand up to close the door, she moved very slowly.

Then, the footsteps outside suddenly quickened, and immediately a black jade cane came into Uesugi Kiyoshi's view.

"I'm telling you, Uesugi-kun, I understand your veiled insults perfectly well."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa gave a wry smile, knocked on the door symbolically, stepped inside, nodded slightly to Li Fuyao in greeting, and then turned his gaze to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"It's amazing you can sit still; the yakuza in Tokyo are in complete chaos."

Uesugi Kiyoshi curled his lip and said dismissively, "The chaos of the Yakuza has been going on for a long time."

"Are you referring to the fact that Maki started streamlining the Dongwen Association yesterday? I've seen it. Those that were eliminated were all useless and malignant, harmful and not helpful. It's a good thing they got rid of them early."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa patted non-existent raindrops off his coat, squinted, and shook his head.

"Don't you know what I'm saying?"

"I'm referring to the fact that Yuan Longhai, the president of the Kowloon Yuan Society, was shot dead at headquarters late last night, and the Yuan Society was turned into a sea of ​​fire."

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't even lift his eyelids, staring at the blue and white porcelain teacup as if he could see flowers in it.

"Oh, that's truly gratifying! Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, justice will prevail. Congratulations, congratulations!"

His tone was completely flat and indifferent, as if he didn't care at all.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa felt even more helpless.

Can't any of the collectors in a collectors' association be a normal person?

"."

"Fine, fine, whatever."

"I'm just here to tell you that the Nine Dragons Group's patriarch, Jiu Shi Long Xin, is claiming illness and staying away from home. Yuan Long Hai's assets have been quickly taken over by Liu Hui. Shan Xin Ji Long used this as an opportunity to challenge Liu Long Ren during the Nine Dragons Assessment, but the Nine Dragons' young master listed Yuan Long Hai's crimes—he was never clean to begin with. After this counterattack, Shan Xin Ji Long was temporarily unable to do anything to Liu Long Ren, and the situation in the Nine Dragons Group gradually stabilized."

"However, the security at the Shanxin Jilong residence has been greatly strengthened, probably to guard against you."

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded blankly, offering no comment, and instead dismissed them.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for passing on the message. If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and do your work. Don't block my view of the rain."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa had a strange feeling that Kiyoshi Uesugi's tone of voice was becoming more and more like Yuichi Kudo's.

He couldn't just leave like that, so he quickly spoke up.

"No, there's one more thing."

"Uesugi-kun, you've had a week of rest too. How about you help me with something?"

"It's been raining for a week now, don't you think that's a little strange?"

These words slightly piqued Uesugi Kiyoshi's interest.

"Oh? You mean there's something fishy about this rain?"

Ryunosuke Akutagawa took a folder from his pocket and nodded.

"Something's fishy, ​​and something big—Tokyo has never experienced such heavy, continuous rain at this time of year before."

"Anything that seems out of the ordinary must be suspicious."

"Seven days of heavy rain have almost reached the limit of Tokyo's drainage system. Now, various wards in Tokyo are flooded to varying degrees, which has seriously affected the work and study of ordinary people. The government is very anxious."

"With this level of rain, those artificial rain-stopping techniques are completely useless. However, not all civil servants are stupid. They found the Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) at the Tokyo branch of Heian-kyo and asked them to stop the rain."

The earliest job of Onmyoji was to perform astronomical laws, divination and rituals. For those practitioners with real skills, asking for rain or summoning wind was their forte and something they could do casually.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at the relentless rain outside and smiled smugly.

"So, they failed as a matter of course?"

Ryunosuke Akutagawa nodded, then shook his head.

"It can't be called a complete failure."

"Haven't you noticed that the rain has lessened a bit today?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi craned his neck to look, but it wasn't over yet, so he simply shook his head.

"I don't feel anything, I don't think there's been any change."

"That's the problem."

A hint of doubt also appeared on Ryunosuke Akutagawa's face.

"In Tokyo's 23 wards, the rain has eased to varying degrees in other wards, but in Arakawa Ward, the rain is still pouring down."

"Those Onmyoji were all like they had seen a ghost. They not only lost face, but also began to question the meaning of life."

"It can solve the problem of regional elite Yin-Yang masters personally taking action, setting up altars and drawing talismans, and stirring up wind and rain, only to return empty-handed."

"Their final conclusion was that there were ghosts or spirits at work."

"Although it sounds a bit like they're trying to shirk responsibility, I think there's some truth to what they're saying, which changes the nature of the matter."

"The government official in charge of liaising with the supernatural organization readily entrusted us with the task of resolving this matter."

“They really had no other choice, Uesugi-kun. The water level of the Arakawa River has risen quite a bit due to this rain. If this rain continues for a while, the Arakawa River will burst its banks, and the entire Tokyo area will probably be flooded.”

“The Shinsengumi are not good at this kind of thing, and the Onmyoji have run into a wall again. The government has come to us and wants us to handle this matter.”

"So, are you interested?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head like a rattle drum.

“I’m afraid I can’t help you, Akutagawa. You know I’m injured. My whole body aches when I move. I really can’t do this job. Go find Yuichi. He’s quick-witted. He can solve this problem with a little reasoning.”

He just wanted to make a sarcastic remark to Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Akutagawa had offended him before, and he was a petty person who wanted to get revenge whenever he had the chance.

If Ryunosuke Akutagawa really has no other choice, he will definitely take care of this matter.

After all, the Collectors Association had truly stood behind him during the Night Battle of Dongwen, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa had risked everything to come to Dream Mirror to help him; he appreciated that.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa sighed softly, not surprised by Kiyoshi Uesugi's answer.

"Alright, alright, I admit I was being inconsiderate. After the big battle, it's only right that you take a few days off."

"Kudo has been having a passionate affair with his girlfriend lately, and Dazai has been indulging in a life of debauchery. I've been busy checking whether there are any followers of the Oeyama Oni King in Tokyo. I really can't find anyone who can handle this matter."

"I'll go back and ask any of the investigators if they're willing to take on this task. If not, I'll pass the commission on to another superhuman organization and hope they can handle it."

"It's a pity about the 30 million commission. It's rare for those stingy government officials to be so generous. In the past, they were outrageously stingy, wishing they could get our superhuman combat power for free."

Uesugi Kiyoshi paused for a moment.

"and many more!"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's act of turning to leave was stopped by Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Sitting in his wheelchair, Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes darted around. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly asked, "I remember the contract I signed mentioned that if I completed the association's tasks, in addition to the [performance], I would also receive a commission?"
