I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 152 Chapter 154 A loving father and a filial son

"Kurosaki, you old dog!"

Young Master Junfu, his face flushed red, showed a hint of anger in his eyes. He wanted to utter a curse, but in the end, he didn't.

Butler Kurosaki was the old man's confidant, and even he, the "crown prince," couldn't order him around or beat him at will.

"Damn it, how did things turn out like this?!"

Junfu was on the other side of the ocean, breathing in the sweet and free air, enjoying the attentive service of Latin American beauty queens and American blonde sweethearts and black hotties, when he was called back to Japan by a phone call.

He had initially been excited, thinking that the old man's health had finally given out and that he was being asked to return to China to prepare for his funeral and handle the inheritance issues.

To my utter surprise, as soon as I stepped off the private plane, I was taken to a private hospital and subjected to a thorough medical examination in front of a group of doctors and health experts. After that, my personal freedom was restricted, and I was placed under semi-house arrest in this manor.

For the next few days, I had to do ten hours of exercise every day according to the training plan. I ate bland and tasteless meals prepared by the nutrition team. Women, tobacco and alcohol were out of the question.

Having spent the first half of his life indulging in pleasure and debauchery, how could he endure such an ascetic life? He immediately started a hunger strike in protest.

The chairman, who had doted on Junfu since he was a child, suddenly changed his expression and poked Junfu in the stomach with his cane without saying a word, almost making Junfu vomit up his leftovers.

"Huff, huff, huff—I'm exhausted..."

Young Master Junfu was drenched in sweat and ran slowly and listlessly on the treadmill.

Junfu didn't really care about Kurosaki's threat to disinherit him. The old man only had one son left, and hardly any distant relatives. How could he let an outsider benefit from such a large estate?

but……

Just thinking about the old man's angry expression that day made Junfu shudder, his legs went weak, and he almost tumbled off the treadmill.

Even three years ago, when that old bastard beat the attending physician to death with his cane, it wasn't that scary!

He was terminally ill three or four years ago, and he even bribed his attending physician to tamper with his medication. As a result, the old man not only did not die, but has been lingering on until now, and seems to be getting more and more energetic.

"To be old and not die is to be a thief; why isn't this old geezer dead yet!"

Young Master Junfu cursed inwardly, but dared not stop walking.

When the furious chairman finished stabbing him hard and raised his cane high, Junfu almost thought that his secret had been exposed and he was going to be beaten to death. But the chairman hesitated for a long time and then put the cane down.

This old man still has a bit of paternal affection for his child.

However, the way the old man looked at him seemed a little off, as if...

It's like when he's picking out women at a nightclub and there aren't any that suit his taste, but he's so eager that he can't wait and has to settle for someone else, that's when he shows that look of lustful yet disgusted eyes.

This inexplicable fitness plan also left Junfu completely baffled.

Unfortunately, this was the first time Junfu had ever been to this manor in Nagata-cho. The security guards and servants were all unfamiliar faces. The only person he recognized, the butler Kurosaki, was extremely loyal to the old man and remained tight-lipped despite Junfu's probing questions.

Although Junfu sometimes sensed that something was amiss, he didn't take it too seriously.

He was the old man's only son, and no matter how heartless the old man was, he would never harm him.

Perhaps the old man was nearing the end of his life and, before he died, began to worry about his son's health, forcing him to start exercising.

"A dying man's words are good, let alone his own son," Junfu thought.

"Young Master Junfu is just like the Master in his ruthlessness, but unfortunately he is ambitious but lacks talent, and has not inherited any of the Master's abilities."

Butler Kurosaki urged his young master to exercise with a blank expression, but many thoughts were flashing through his mind.

"If this family business falls into the hands of young master Junfu, how can it withstand the wolves and tigers of ambition outside? Therefore, for the sake of the master and for my sake, we have no choice but to sacrifice the young master."

Butler Kurosaki nodded slightly, recalling what Higuchi Orochi had said that day.

"The elixir of immortality requires a sacrifice of the closest possible bloodline, and in that case, there is indeed no more suitable sacrifice than Young Master Junfu. After all, Young Master Junfu is the master's own son!"

Although Junfu is nominally the master's grandson, he is actually the master's illegitimate son.

Logically speaking, a top-tier noble family like the Hyoudou family, which has a history of over a hundred years, shouldn't have produced such a good-for-nothing spendthrift as Young Master Shunfu.

The way Young Master Junfu is behaving today is inextricably linked to the excessive pampering he received from his father after he was over sixty years old.

The master originally had an eldest son, who, under strict discipline, was not outstanding but was more than capable of maintaining the status quo.

The Black Emperor Society's business was originally intended to be inherited by the eldest son, and would only be handed over to Young Master Junfu several decades later.

Perhaps by then Young Master Junfu will have matured a bit. If he still can't be helped, then it can be passed on to Young Master Junfu's child.

This was the master's plan, which is why he spoiled and indulged young master Junfu.

Unexpectedly, the young master discovered that he had been cuckolded, and by the very same person the chairman had cheated on him. Enraged, he confronted the master on the spot. In the ensuing conflict, the master accidentally struck him in the temple with his cane, causing him to die instantly.

Afterwards, the old man was filled with remorse, but there was nothing he could do to change the situation.

In the end, they found an excuse to cover up the truth, saying that the young master died in an accident.

Only a handful of people within the entire group knew about this scandal, but young master Junfu seemed to have something in mind and even bribed the master's attending physician to try and sabotage things.

After all, only young master Junfu was left. Although the master was furious, in the end he just sent young master Junfu to the United States so that he wouldn't have to see him anymore.

Later, the monster called Higuchi Orochi took the initiative to contact the master again. It gained the master's trust by using its magical healing abilities and then offered the bait of immortality, making the master provide protection at all costs.

Kurosaki was skeptical of Higuchi Orochi's claim of immortality, but the dying master had already gone mad and wouldn't listen to any advice.

They had been cooperating with the monster for several years, and now they had no choice but to go down this dark path.

"Young Master Junfu, why did you stop?"

When Butler Kurosaki saw that young master Junfu suddenly stared blankly and walked off the treadmill with a dazed expression, he couldn't help but frown.

"According to the training plan, the rest time is in seventeen minutes. Please, Young Master Junfu, do not..."

Before he finished speaking, three black tomoe appeared in Kurosaki's eyes.
