Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

"Alright, stop wasting your time."

"Deploy all the agents and field personnel according to the area shown in this map. Don't alert them; surround them first."

"Then search slowly."

"The one who killed you that day was probably a monk, but he probably didn't practice the proper Buddhist path; he must have had something to do with ghosts and gods."

“I remember you said that the rest were just lackeys, and only that masked bald man was strong, and he was the one who caused all the casualties.”

"This intelligence is quite accurate; we expect to gain something from it."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa's expression turned serious. He zoomed in on the photo, swiping it left and right to look at it for a while, his brows furrowed.

"The area isn't that big."

"What intelligence source? Is it reliable?"

"Forget it, you've always been a steady person—tsk, although I really want to say that, but when I think about how you used to kill gods without a second thought, I feel guilty saying it!"

"However, you wouldn't joke about something like this."

"Okay, I'll contact the field task force right away."

He made a call, issued a few simple instructions, and then hung up.

"Alright, do as you said, search slowly, don't alert them, don't worry."

"The association's agents were built with a lot of my money. Their combat capabilities may not be satisfactory, but their professional skills are excellent."

"They are not so easily exposed."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa made a solemn vow, and Kiyoshi Uesugi, who already knew the Collectors Association well, also agreed with this statement.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise. The association's agents can probably only deal with ghosts and spirits using firearms, and they didn't bring many firearms with them to Kyoto.

When it comes to professional skills such as infiltration, concealment, intelligence gathering, and disguise, they are indeed like secret agents in movies, quite skilled.

"That's good. Once we find the culprit, I'll kill him first, just in case things get complicated."

"As for those idiots in the Phoenix family, I'll settle the score with them after that attacker dies in my hands."

"You don't need to worry about this."

"Have some coffee, read a book, and give yourself a few days off."

"Live a little easier, Akutagawa."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa stared at Kiyoshi Uesugi with a sidelong glance, half-closed eyes, and a slumped expression, looking somewhat helpless.

"."

"You're talking as if you're my boss."

"You're so amazing, why don't you take over as president?"

"Hey"

"That is, you, Uesugi."

"If you don't like my insincere words, I'll be blunt: it's precisely in this somewhat unfavorable environment that the importance of your military strength has risen to an unprecedented level."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have completely offended the Phoenix Inu family just because of a few words from you."

Uesugi Kiyoshi now fully understands what Li Fuyao meant when she said, "The young master of the Akutagawa family is easier to control."

He also gave up on correcting Ryunosuke Akutagawa's values, as he always felt that correcting other people's values ​​was a noble and respectable thing to do while standing on a moral high ground.

How can you guarantee that your values ​​are correct?

Therefore, when he disagrees with others, he usually tries to have a few pleasantries. If that fails, he prefers to use more direct and forceful methods to resolve the issue rather than engaging in endless chatter.

Just like how he resolved those previous troubles.

Dealing with Ryunosuke Akutagawa is even simpler.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't need Akutagawa Ryunosuke to share his views, nor did he need him to be of one mind with him. He only needed that the student council president would listen to him.

He has many means to achieve this goal.

"Alright, alright, I know you've worked hard these past few years flattering those tycoon lords, but there are some matters of principle that we cannot let go of."

"Let's not talk about that, what are you busy with?"

To change the subject, Uesugi Kiyoshi turned his gaze to Akutagawa Ryunosuke's computer screen.

The first thing you see is a dense text, which looks like the database of a collectors' association.

This database, compiled by Yuichi Kudo, is an encyclopedia that gathers a vast amount of information. Its client can be synchronized to the terminal device of any member of the Collectors Association, but without permission, one cannot view the highly confidential information.

The interface that Ryunosuke Akutagawa is currently viewing is basically a list of the latest developments of major Japanese conglomerates.

It's those "one, two, three, four", and also the Phoenix Inu family and the Mitarai family.

"Huh! What's going on? I'm already struggling to deal with the Phoenix Institute family. Are you trying to gather intelligence so I can wipe them all out, unify the entire country through the Collectors Association, take over the cabinet, and become the leader?"

Uesugi Seipo kept spouting off, while Akutagawa Ryunosuke just kept sighing.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm just cleaning up your mess."

“You’ve offended the Phoenix Academy family, so I have to find someone to take over. Otherwise, the association will lack funding, and subsequent activities will be very troublesome. You don’t know how expensive life is until you’re in charge. Those research projects by True Knowledgeers are simply burning money.”

"No matter how much I earn, it's never enough for them to spend."

Seeing Akutagawa Ryunosuke's worried face, Uesugi Kiyoshi chuckled inwardly.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Don't worry, I just went to give the one that attacked us a good beating. I didn't raid their homes or exterminate their entire clan. It won't affect their financial support."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa rolled his eyes again, his expression one of exaggerated disgust.

"Why would you say something so stupid?"

"Even if they are outwardly united but inwardly divided, they are all from the Phoenix Academy. They are connected by blood and share the same bloodline."

“I know your personality. If you kill someone, you’ll create a deep-seated grudge. It’s not just a personal grudge, but also a matter of Phoenix Institute’s reputation.”

Uesugi Kiyoshi strolled a few steps, walked to the door, and turned back with a smile.

"I have a good friend named Li Fuyao, you should know her, right?"

Ryunosuke Akutagawa nodded, his eyes glued to the screen.

"I know her. She's one of your confidantes, the young lady of the Tai Sui Gang. Hmm, she has a good temperament and she's quite a good match for you. What's up?"

Do you know who her mother is?

Uesugi Kiyoshi's next words left Akutagawa Ryunosuke somewhat bewildered.

What's the problem?

Are you checking household registration?

Going to meet your mother-in-law is your business, what does it have to do with me?

I'm not so bored as to investigate the family background of every one of your female confidantes, am I?

If that's the case, I'll have to investigate all of Dazai's girlfriends one by one, wouldn't that kill me?

While inwardly complaining, Ryunosuke Akutagawa shook his head calmly on the surface.

"Huh? I don't know. The wife of that Tai Sui? I've never heard of her. Is she from the Celestial Empire?"

"It's not uncommon for people in the underworld to deliberately hide news about their families. I guess they're hiding it, otherwise I wouldn't have missed it."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's voice became somewhat sarcastic.

"You have Yuichi's intelligence database right in front of you, why don't you search it?"

Although he didn't know what Uesugi Kiyoshi was planning, Ryunosuke Akutagawa readily agreed.

He typed in Li Fuyao's name, searched by entry, and quickly found the entry for "mother".

"Phoenix Courtyard Ningning Phoenix Courtyard?"

"That name sounds so familiar!"

His eyes widened in disbelief, and before Uesugi Kiyoshi could continue speaking, he hurriedly started searching down the name of Phoenix Inu Nene.

"."

"The only remaining direct blood relative of Phoenix Institute Keiji?"

"So, that Miss Fuyao..."

"He's the heir to one of the five elders of the Phoenix Inu family?!"

Meeting Akutagawa Ryunosuke's astonished gaze, Uesugi Kiyoshi waved triumphantly with a smile.

"I told you, it's no problem."

"Chairman Akutagawa, from now on, call me 'boss' when you see me."

Chapter 309 Akutagawa-kun's Revenge

He was just joking; he had no intention of actually taking charge—it would be too much trouble.

However, it's not really an exaggeration for Ryunosuke Akutagawa to call him "boss".

The entire Collectors Association was likely orchestrated by Li Fuyao.

So he's now working for himself?

With a knowing smile, he put his hands behind his back and strolled out.

Um.

Go find Xingzi for dinner, then rest for the night. Tomorrow, explore that area, find the person, and kill them.

Go cause another scene at Phoenix Courtyard's house, and see if you can help Li Fuyao along the way.

After resolving all these issues, I'll go to that Kendo Association to see what the Imperial Tournament is all about. I still have Senior Brother Yagyu's phone number.

Next, let's look for the relics of the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts. This is the least urgent, since there are no clues. We can only wait and discuss it with Li Fuyao.

In addition, there are the Kamo Onmyoji and the Minamoto clan samurai, which are historical issues. If they hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have needed to retaliate against a group of descendants thousands of years later. But if a conflict had really arisen, it wouldn't be impossible to deal with them all at once.

It's a good time to test how powerful the Mingshen Sword Qi can be when combined with the Mirage Qi and his swordsmanship honed over two lifetimes.
