Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing
Page 148
"Akutagawa said that you were busy, so you pushed the Arakawa matter onto me."
"Of course, part of the reason is that he gave so much."
"."
"I'm preparing for the college entrance exam!"
“My old man wants me to hurry up and take the entrance exam for Tokyo University, get a degree, and then go to the Metropolitan Police Department to help him. He’s having trouble handling it.”
"I don't know why, but recently the Kudo family's political enemies have been quite active. That idiot Yamamoto family member is the most active, and he even arranged a marriage with the Ikeda family. It's obvious that he wants to join forces with them to take away our family's share."
"As a son, I should do something. Otherwise, if I see my father's hair turning white day by day and my hot-tempered mother fighting with him, I will never have a peaceful day."
"So, I'll take the trouble to crush the Yamamoto family first. Make an example of them!"
Uesugi Kiyoshi's brows furrowed, and a sudden realization dawned on him as he instantly understood Kudo Yuichi's meaning.
"Are you trying to force Yamamoto Ryosuke to attack you, seize his weakness, and then use that to launch an attack that would cripple the Yamamoto family?"
Nodding affirmatively, Kudo Yuichi pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and skillfully puffed out smoke.
"Yamamoto Ryosuke has a long history of misdeeds, but none of them are fatal. I have collected a lot of his dark history, which is enough to get him kicked out of his career, but the Yamamoto family will not be seriously damaged."
“They could easily support another spokesperson. The Yamamoto family is a large family, and it wouldn’t be difficult for them to adopt a son from a branch family.”
"However, if the eldest son of the Yamamoto family were to rashly try to kill me..."
"Hey"
"This is not something we can easily let go of! Our Kudo family is small, and I am the only son in my generation. This is a blood feud that wiped out the entire family!"
Uesugi Kiyoshi twitched his lips as if he had a toothache, and said knowingly, "So that's why you tried to provoke him time and time again to make him shoot you—aren't you afraid of actually being shot to death?"
Kudo Yuichi glanced at him, his smile becoming confident.
"Don't joke around, you're not going to just stand by and watch me get beaten to death."
"It's a pity that bastard was too cowardly. Otherwise, if he had tried to shoot the heir of the Kudo family in public, humph, if this got out, his family would have been completely in the wrong. Even if they couldn't completely bring down that old fox Yamamoto family, they would have paid a painful price and made them shut up for a while."
Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "What if he backs down and never makes a move?"
Kudo Yuichi's smile suddenly turned into one full of mischievousness.
"Then I'll push him until he can't take it anymore."
"Kiyoshi, it's impossible for a human being to be without weaknesses. Yamamoto is not that difficult to scheme against."
"To my shame, I'm quite skilled at making people angry."
As they were chatting happily, a commotion suddenly broke out in the procession escorting the woman in the suit out.
A burst of purple smoke, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, exploded and engulfed the woman in the suit.
The members of the task force were made of flesh and blood, and were forced to retreat when hit by the seemingly highly corrosive smoke.
Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced back and, without hesitation, drew his sword and slashed out from several meters away.
He hadn't mastered his master's method of using "sword energy," but the mere slash he unleashed cleared the purple smoke, revealing the woman in the suit.
Like a slippery snake, she twisted and turned, freeing herself from the restraints, and then slammed into the windowpane without stopping.
With a crisp sound of shattering glass, the woman in the suit disappeared from everyone's sight.
Uesugi Kiyoshi calmly sheathed his sword, while Kudo Yuichi let out a slowly spreading dark circle under his eye.
"Tsk, they really did run away."
"Yes, they really did run away."
The two spoke in a tone that showed neither surprise nor anger, nor panic.
On the contrary, Narumi Shingo, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, frowned in confusion.
He had been observing Uesugi Kiyoshi and Kudo Yuichi's methods as an outsider. Since he clearly didn't need to get involved, watching the show was a good option.
Anyway, his purpose in coming here was to find out the true purpose of this sect and then ensure that they would be wiped out.
Everything went smoothly, and even he had moments of complacency, when the only survivor escaped easily.
The two officials chatted casually, showing no signs of being anxious or upset.
"Hey you two, your target has escaped. Don't you need to go and bring her to justice?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly: "Go ahead and catch them, but there's no rush."
Kudo Yuichi's smile was exactly the same as his friend's.
"Hey buddy, don't be in such a hurry."
"Among the active Arakawa cults in the entire Arakawa district, there are only two leaders: this man and this woman."
"The man is dead, now only the woman remains."
"I don't believe that such a large-scale operation could be handled by just two people. They are probably just the advance team."
“We dare not let them grow bigger and lure us in; it involves the spread of the belief in external gods, and the risk is too great.”
"But, let's follow the clues and investigate their hideout."
"It was just something I did on the spur of the moment."
"Don't rush, let her escape for a while."
Chapter 174 Too hasty
Narumi Shingo wasn't stupid; he understood what Kudo Yuichi meant.
Allowing these people to continue growing in power could lead to the suffering of countless ordinary people and the spread of evil cult beliefs, which would be a losing proposition.
However, letting one slip through the net, tracking her down, and checking if she has any accomplices is not very risky.
"You had this planned all along?" Minghai Xinwu thought about it again and again, but he didn't think these two scheming teenagers would have any chance to communicate.
"Ah, I thought about it on the way here and figured it was worth a try, so here I am~"
After hearing Kudo Yuichi's words, Narumi Shingo glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi with a puzzled look. Just now, this guy had been sitting firmly on the ground.
Uesugi Kiyoshi noticed the questioning look in those eyes and smiled.
"Yuichi is the kind of person who always has at least three backup plans for everything he does. Even when the accident happened, his expression remained unchanged, which means he must have made arrangements in advance. I can guess what he's planning to do."
Kudo Yuichi chuckled as he stubbed out his cigarette and nudged Uesugi Kiyoshi's shoulder.
"We're on the same wavelength, Qing."
Uesugi Kiyoshi shivered, and with a hint of disgust, moved a little further away from this powerful and annoying person. He looked out the window and said, "That's enough, don't be so fake."
Kudo Yu nodded and snapped his fingers.
In an instant, a faint, gradually increasing buzzing sound suddenly rang out.
Outside the window directly in front of them, a small, exquisite drone with a simple yet streamlined and aesthetically pleasing design floated steadily to the window.
"One of the most powerful detection methods of the Collectors Association is the Hundred Eyes System, which consists of thousands of cutting-edge drones produced by True Knowledge, which have a certain resistance to supernatural forces and can monitor every move of a large area in a short period of time."
"Under the watchful eyes of the law, there is no escaping its reach!"
"Don't worry, she can't get away!"
"Qing, the location has been sent to your phone. You go first, I'll be there with my men shortly."
Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded slightly, gave Narumi Shingo a wink, pushed open the door and window, and jumped down without hesitation. His figure, like a ghost in the rainy night, vanished in a flash and disappeared far away in an instant.
In Arakawa, he leaped between skyscrapers, his speed far exceeding that of the convoy.
Wearing a headset and receiving location voice information from his phone, Uesugi Kiyokazu took the lead.
Then, after hesitating for half a second, Narumi Shingo also leaped out.
He understood the meaning behind Uesugi Kiyoshi's look—come with me.
This former lord of Arakawa was like a fish in water in the heavy rain, his speed no slower than Uesugi Kiyoshi's, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The rain seemed to have intensified.
Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly stopped and frowned.
This direction doesn't seem right.
Ahead lies the Arakawa River.
The river has risen sharply due to the recent torrential rains. Looking out, the river is full of rushing water, which looks a bit frightening.
That woman was heading towards Arakawa!
Uesugi Kiyoshi pondered for a moment, his brows furrowing as he muttered, "No way, could she be going to..."
Immediately afterward, he quickened his pace and accelerated again, no longer caring about following the clues, and just wanted to intercept the person.
He reached the banks of the Arakawa River in just a few steps.
He could already see the somewhat distorted back of the woman in the suit in front of him—she was crawling on the ground, using all four limbs, moving like a snake, and slipping away very quickly. Even Uesugi Kiyoshi had some difficulty catching up with her.
After calculating the distance, Uesugi Kiyoshi knew he couldn't let her escape any longer.
This woman is going into the water!
Once it's in the water, the drone becomes useless.
"A flash!"
In an instant, he made his decision.
He covered a distance of tens of meters in a flash, and once again activated the Flash of the Demon Blade Scroll.
This move has no limit to the number of times it can be used by him, but it cannot be used continuously in a short period of time, and it will consume a lot of stamina.
Now is not the time to dwell on these things.
Though separated by vast distances, a single sword strikes.
Upon hearing the whistling sound of a sword behind her ear, the woman in the suit's expression changed drastically. She sprang to her feet, her body twisting in an S-shape like a snake, completely dodging the sword strike.
In her haste, she suddenly opened her mouth and spat out countless tiny, ferocious snakes that shot towards Uesugi Kiyoshi's face.
The sword's light was cold, and its aura drew near.
