Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

He had just started the car when the back door was pulled open and two figures slipped in.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced in the rearview mirror and chuckled softly.

"I haven't even had a chance to ask you what you've been doing... You look pretty disheveled, aren't you going to rest for a bit?"

"I really owe you a lot just now, otherwise I probably wouldn't have had it so easy."

The two people who sat down on either side of them were none other than the Narumi siblings.

"Don't say that, Uesugi. Without your help, I might not have had such a good night."

"The contract has been made. To me, you are not an outsider."

“We’re not a gang, nor are we the police. If you want to get things done, we’ll give you a hand.”

"What, you look down on us?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi could tell the difference between a good joke and a bad one; it was clearly Narumi Shingo joking. He smiled slightly and nodded.

"Then... thank you for your continued hard work."

As soon as he finished speaking, he floored the accelerator, and the black sedan sped off like an arrow.

Uesugi Kiyoshi disregarded Tokyo's traffic rules. With his current reflexes, the only thing limiting his speed was the car's performance. On the Tokyo avenues in the early morning, the ghostly black shadow moved unimpeded, and soon several police cars appeared behind him, with signs of the situation escalating.

Uesugi Kiyoshi ignored these tails and drove at full speed, soon arriving at the destination Yamazaki Kana had mentioned.

This is a rather ordinary-looking building, not very tall, only about five or six stories high. It is not located in Arakawa Ward, but it is right next to a tributary of the Arakawa River. Because it had just rained, you could hear the rushing water even from a distance across the river.

"They really know how to pick a location..."

After getting out of the car, Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at the building and muttered to himself.

The security around the building was excellent, with hordes of police surrounding it like an impenetrable fortress. However, from Uesugi Kiyoshi's perspective, it appeared to be two distinct groups of people.

At the main entrance, a familiar female figure was anxiously craning her neck to wait, while opposite her stood a middle-aged man dressed in a suit and tie, whose eyes held a hint of ill intent.

Seeing Uesugi Kiyoshi get out of the car, Yamazaki Kana, who had been feeling anxious and uneasy, felt a surge of joy and quickly went to greet him.

Uesugi Kiyoshi ignored her and instead carefully examined the not-so-tall building.

His sixth sense told him that something was wrong with this place.

Overall, the place gave him an exceptionally gloomy feeling. When he used his inner eye to look, he could even see a faint gray-black mist escaping from the window.

He recognized the fog very well; it was the same strange fog that had filled Hydra's dream.

It cannot be absorbed, and even has some sinister effects that can bewitch people's minds; this must be related to the Outer Gods.

When ordinary gods or spirits are slain by Uesugi Kiyoshi, they will provide some mirage energy to varying degrees. Some are even more generous and will provide power related to the gods. Uesugi Kiyoshi's path to godhood was opened after he killed Tosho Shinkun.

The Scroll of One Hundred Demons has an extremely strong ability to gather and absorb the power of demons and gods in this world. It is also the foundation for Uesugi Kiyoshi's ability to enhance his aura. The strange mist on the body of this Outer God is the first type of power that makes the Scroll of One Hundred Demons unmoved.

Narumi Shinobu, who was unusually quiet compared to her usual lively self, suddenly wrinkled her nose and whispered, "Something's not right. Kaikomaru said he smelled the scent of a ritual."

"It wasn't inside the building, but in the water of this tributary. Someone must have tampered with it, using some kind of formation or ritual to manipulate the river."

"This stench is all too familiar. It's the smell of sewage from the underground reservoir, mixed with the venom of that snake. It's probably lethal to mortals. If they come into contact with this water, they might be lucky enough to transform into a Mystic, or they might be unlucky enough to be completely destroyed, leaving no trace of their bodies!"

"Strange. Wasn't that snake dead? Is its venom still effective? That shouldn't be the case."

Narumi Nobuna's serious expression at this moment greatly increased the credibility of Uesugi Kiyoshi's words.

"The snake is dead, but it seems this snake had a mate."

"It should be Dagon. In Japanese mythology, he is called 'Dharani Gongen,' which now seems to be related to Buddhism?"

"How come Guanyin and Dharani deities are involved with those monks? This is really troublesome!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned and muttered a few words to himself.

"Could it be that after killing one, there's still another one? I can't use [Dragon Soaring Sparrow] in my current state."

"Tsk, we can't just leave Yuichi like this."

"If Yamamoto Yu is truly a follower of Hydra, then since I sent his god back to his homeland, he should have lost all his power. So, does that mean he is a follower of Dagon, or the Dharani Manifestation?"

"So, he wants to do both at the same time, with the underground ceremony and the press conference here, as a double insurance? It's like a seasoned politician's tactic of not putting all his eggs in one basket."

"."

"So there was another story behind this."

"Fine, I can't worry about that now, let's all get involved!"

Chapter 238 Breaking the Door

In the time it took to say a few words, Uesugi cleared his mind, his fingers tapping the hilt of the sword at his waist, a hint of coldness already creeping into his expression.

Kana Yamazaki had already jogged over and said urgently, "Uesugi-kun, Yuichi went in at 8:30, and it's already past 9:30. I sent him a message but he didn't reply. I wanted to go in and check, but the Yamamoto faction blocked the entrance to the mansion building and wouldn't let anyone in, so I had to contact you first."

"Yuichi instructed that if anything unexpected happens, you should make the decision."

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at the group of police officers gathered at the entrance, his brows furrowing slightly, his sharp edge revealed.

"Didn't you bring people with you too? If he won't let us in, just force our way in."

"Forget it, you might not be able to handle what's inside. It's not a bad idea to hold back for now. Okay, I'll handle this."

After saying that, Uesugi Kiyoshi turned around and exchanged a glance with Narumi Shingo.

Narumi Shingo nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "It's alright. This is just a tributary of the Arakawa River. I have ways to deal with the river's tricks. Nobuna, you stay outside and don't let the river cause any unnecessary waves."

He gave the order, and the little girl, unusually, didn't argue back. She gave an OK sign and hurried towards the riverbank.

As soon as she reached out her hand, the shadowy figures of huge fish swam faintly in the river, and the turbulent waters calmed down.

Uesugi Kiyoshi cast a questioning look at Narumi Shingo. His original intention was to have the Lord of Arakawa take action to eliminate the threat first, not to use child labor to make this big loli do this difficult work.

Narumi Shingo's expression was relaxed, with an almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips. He looked at Narumi Nobuna's retreating figure, shook his head, and then nodded.

He understood what Uesugi Kiyoshi meant.

"Don't worry, Uesugi. Do you know that there are two Lords of Arakawa?"

"Me and her."

"This is Arakawa. To try to manipulate the waves of Arakawa in front of the Lord of Arakawa is the most foolish thing in the world."

"Listening to the waves, Nobuna's control over the power of Arakawa is not much worse than mine, so you can rest assured to leave this place to her."

"I'll go in with you."

Since Narumi Shingo had already said all that, Uesugi Kiyoshi had no objections. He leaned on his sword, his face grim, and walked towards the main entrance of the building.

As expected, the middle-aged man in the suit he had seen earlier blocked his way, with many police officers in suits and uniforms standing guard behind him, looking tense and ready to fight, blocking his path.

Uesugi Kiyoshi slightly raised his eyes and glanced at the middle-aged man.

Some had ordinary faces, but their expressions carried a subtle arrogance, a characteristic of those in high positions. They looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with disdain, and at Yamazaki Kana with a mixture of contempt and lustful greed. With the large entourage behind them, they exuded an air of invincibility.

Kana Yamazaki quickly leaned close to Kiyoshi Uesugi's ear.

"Uesugi-kun, this is Yamamoto Daiji, a close associate of Yamamoto Yu, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the National Police Agency, with the rank of Superintendent."

She was only halfway through her sentence when Uesugi Kiyoshi interrupted her.

"Go away."

With just two cold words to the person blocking his way, Uesugi Kiyoshi saw a hint of anger on Yamamoto Daichi's face, clearly indicating a lack of composure.

"You ill-mannered brat, where do you think you are? Who do you think I am?"

"Do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail?"

"Ridiculous. Yamazaki, is this the savior you were hoping for?"

"You should think about what will happen to you after the Kudo family's power is gone! You just tried to incite a large-scale conflict within the police force; I'll remember that!"

Yamamoto Daichi was probably referring to Yamazaki Kana's attempt to break into the mansion, and his gaze uncontrollably turned lewd, much like a villain in a movie who was close to death.

Logically speaking, someone in such a high position shouldn't be such an impudent person. However, judging from the bloodlust in his eyes, Uesugi Kiyoshi roughly knew what was going on. This person must have been manipulated by Yamamoto Yu, and his mind had been affected, which was why he was behaving so recklessly. As for whether he had any extraordinary powers, it was hard to say, but he hadn't sensed any at the moment.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was getting impatient and was about to make a move when, unexpectedly, someone was faster than him.

Narumi Shingo glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression, his smile becoming intriguing. He swiftly stepped to the side, his figure flashing as he effortlessly extended his left arm, which deftly gripped Yamamoto Daichi's neck. His right hand, wielding the Kaikokusaku sword, followed immediately, the sharp blade cutting a gash in Yamamoto Daichi's neck, from which blood flowed uncontrollably.

In the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye, the arrogant head of the criminal investigation department and the powerful superintendent of police were subdued and injured.

"Are you crazy?! Are you trying to start a war with the National Police Agency?!"

"Kana Yamazaki! Do you know what you're doing?!"

Yamamoto Daiji reacted quickly. Although he was restrained by Narumi Shingo and had a sharp blade at his side, he still kept shouting. He didn't dare to look Narumi Shingo and Uesugi Kiyoshi, who were holding swords to him, but instead picked on the weak and roared at Yamazaki Kana.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't show any surprise. He just tilted his head and said softly to Yamazaki Kana, "What are you standing there for? Tell your men to disarm their men and take them all into custody."

"If anyone dares to make a move, I'll make this greasy middle-aged man lose his head."

His tone was casual, as if he were discussing what to have for lunch.

Kana Yamazaki looked astonished and exclaimed in disbelief, "Uesugi-kun! This! This!"

"This is against the rules!"

"You're going to get into big trouble like this! If you do this, even the Kudo family won't be able to protect you."

This isn't a particularly unpredictable reaction; rather, it's the normal reaction for people within the system when faced with this situation.

Having lived under the constraints of rules for a long time, one becomes accustomed to the limitations of those rules and regards any behavior that exceeds these limits as heresy, making it difficult to accept.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced sideways at Yamazaki Kana and sighed.

"You're Yuichi's girlfriend, you should know about things related to the supernatural."

"You know what? I started preparing for a deadly battle at nine o'clock last night. I gathered my men and fought a long battle all night in the underground of Tokyo, fifty meters below the surface, against a monster that could possibly have the power to destroy Tokyo. It took a lot of effort to barely defeat her. Now that the battle is over, I received your message and rushed here."

"And here, there may be a monster of similar danger to my opponent, stirring up trouble, and Yuichi is facing it alone."

"."

"Your man is risking his life inside, and he could die at any moment. Yet you're here arguing with me about legal regulations, saying that the Kudo family can't protect me?"

Are you sure you want to do this?

Giving Yamazaki Kana a few seconds to react, Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his voice.
