Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

After giving the old man a military salute, Director Liu Ze began his report.

"I just contacted the person in charge of the medical department. After a thorough examination, Makoto Kyogoku is fine, but he is extremely exhausted. After taking sedatives, he has fallen into a deep sleep and is temporarily out of danger."

The old general, Shinbara, nodded solemnly.

“Very good. Although Kyogoku Makoto’s physical strength is not as good as Miyazaki Yu’s, he is still a gifted person and the person we need most. We must not let anything happen to him.”

Director Yanagisawa frowned deeply: "I never expected that Miyazaki Yu, at such a young age, would be so ruthless. If I hadn't yielded to him before, he might have even let Kyogoku Makoto remain in his slumber. This kid..."

General Kambara frowned and scolded, "Enough, Yanagize! It seems you still don't understand why they did this!"

Director Liu Ze looked at the other party with a puzzled expression, somewhat taken aback.

General Kambara said, "His purpose is to demonstrate! No matter how strong a person is, he is still just a person. He will always be wary of the government. That's why he used this method to send us a signal that his power is enough to break free from all constraints. If anyone does something against him, he has a way to cause consequences that none of us can bear."

In the hall, breathing became heavy, and many people wore solemn expressions.

Another officer, who looked to be in his fifties, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! These so-called sword masters have always been a destabilizing factor in every dynasty. These people have always acted as they pleased, completely disregarding the government and the country. They are simply too presumptuous!"

I refuse to believe it. So what if he's powerful? Can he really stand against the country, the government, and the army? The government just wants his cooperation, and he's resisting like this—it's outrageous!

The rest of the crowd, though silent, likely shared this view.

Seeing everyone's expressions, General Kambara sneered.

"Enough!" General Kambara said softly.

All eyes were on him, but under the old general's hawk-like gaze, they all avoided his eyes.

"Hmph, this young swordsman hasn't actually done anything excessive overall. The reason you're angry now is simply because the power you've always believed in has lost its effectiveness in this young man, so you're getting angry out of embarrassment!"

Everyone felt a tremor in their hearts.

Yes, judging from their actions, the other party didn't do anything outrageous. They simply made some reasonable requests so as not to make him a guinea pig. Moreover, under Kyogoku Makoto's challenge and Director Yanagisawa's encouragement, they engaged in a battle with Kyogoku Makoto.

The battle ended with Makoto Kyogoku losing, and he only felt exhausted; there were no serious consequences.

If we analyze it purely from a factual perspective, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what the other party did.

They were angry for another reason!

Miyazaki Yu's formidable strength exceeded their expectations. They were horrified to discover that this young man had actually surpassed their control. Moreover, once he became angry, their authority could no longer serve as a shield, and a sense of fear arose in their hearts.

Then, fear turned into anger and resentment.

People are obsessed with power because it gives them a sense of control and a feeling of owning the world. But now that power has lost its effect on a person who is still unruly, disobedient, and even defiant, it is extremely infuriating.

At that moment, a cynical voice rang out.

"Hehe, Grandpa Kambara is right after all. You guys are just afraid of others because you see how powerful they are and feel that they are out of control. It's like a gun that you don't feel safe with because you don't have it in your own hands."

The speaker was a middle-aged man, who was wearing an officer's coat haphazardly. His hair was very long, partially obscuring his eyes, but his sharp gaze could still be seen through the gaps in his long hair.

He stood up and said, "Everyone looks so sad. Although Miyazaki Yu is super strong, that's his fighting strength. In reality, everyone has some concerns. As long as we are careful, cooperation shouldn't be a problem, right?"

The officer in his fifties who had just spoken snorted coldly.

"Yamada, you've seen his file, yet you still say such things. This kid has no family left. People like him are truly unscrupulous when they do things."

The man named Yamada scoffed.

"You old codger, all you do is worry about nothing! Nothing has happened to them yet, and you're already making trouble for yourself!"

Besides, does having no family mean having no attachments? I know this young man is very loyal and righteous. When that lawyer helped him, he risked his life to save her. The Morita family only offered him a little help, yet he did everything in his power to fight against the leader of the Pandora organization.

These things illustrate one point: the only thing that can bind him is loyalty and righteousness, not threats and coercion. These swordsmen are all of unyielding character!

And most importantly, we're the ones asking for a favor now. When did asking for a favor become such a problem? Are you out of your mind, or am I?

The officer was speechless after hearing these words and could only stand by and glare.

However, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to be loyal and righteous; they like loyal and righteous people the most.

In the eyes of many politicians, heroes with loyalty and righteousness are the easiest to manipulate.

Whether for the greater good or for personal loyalty, they are willing to go through fire and water without hesitation.

One of them slapped his forehead and said, "I think Yamada is right. We were actually stuck in a dead end. Everyone has weaknesses. This Miyazaki swordsman is loyal and righteous, and we have seen that from his deeds."

He allowed the woman who had cared for him and her daughter to live in his house, and even taught the girl swordsmanship.

And then there's the Mori detective's family, the Suzuki family, and the Morita family—all of these families have developed very deep relationships with him!

The man chuckled and said, "Besides, all the girls in these families are fond of this young swordsman. You all should understand the bond that romantic feelings can have on a person."

Chapter 278 The Ghost Ship Reappears

"what?"

When this method was mentioned, everyone cursed inwardly, but then they were also excited.

Yes, how could they not have thought of that!

Miyazaki Yu was a prodigy at a young age, and naturally he was not short of girls who admired him. As the saying goes, beauties love heroes, but heroes cannot resist the charms of beauties. With feelings and burdens, he naturally would not act recklessly.

Yamada laughed and said, "Yanagawa, I knew you were the most cunning one!"

He then said seriously, "Actually, the best way is to do what the government did with the Sword Masters Association before. These people are obsessed with the way of the sword, so give them a special status and some power so that they can live a comfortable life without interference."

Without worries about the future, they also become involved in social networks, just like those sword masters. They were once unruly, but after the Sword Masters Association was established, their sect disciples, relatives, and friends all benefited.

These people are like a vast, intricate net; even the sharpest sword, once caught in such a web, can only yield its edge!

After hearing these words, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly became lively.

Everyone started talking at once, sharing all sorts of ideas, and their thinking was suddenly opened up.

General Kambara sneered inwardly. These people were truly laughable. Just moments ago, they were so fearful and apprehensive that they wished they could use their army to wipe out that kid.

Now that they've found a way to appease or even subtly control the other party, these people have become incredibly eloquent, with many even enthusiastically devising ways to win them over and get them to work for them.

But he was sure he hadn't misjudged the kid. The kid had sharp eyes, and he had even glanced at the camera while fighting. He had seen that expression clearly.

Yamada's method is indeed feasible, but there is a premise; however, it is ultimately just a conciliatory strategy.

However, this is the best solution at present.

"Perhaps this is the best solution. Hopefully, that young man won't become an enemy of the country, otherwise..."

Compared to the anxious government officials at this moment, the scene at Miyazaki Hayao's home was quite different.

A large, sumptuous dinner was laid out on the table, and the aroma alone was enough to whet everyone's appetite.

At this moment, not only the four members of Miyazaki Hayao's family, but also the entire Mori family had arrived.

"I'm going to start eating now. Mei Hui's cooking is so good. She's beautiful and cooks well. Whoever marries you will be so lucky."

Ran Mouri, who was standing nearby, got angry and reached out to pinch her father's lower back hard, causing Kogoro Mouri to feel a sharp pain and quickly shut his mouth.

Miyazawa Mie covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "I'm glad Mr. Mori likes it, but I didn't make all of these dishes. The most important ones were all made by Yu. Although I cook every day, my skills are still far inferior to his. I guess that's talent."

Kogoro Mouri chuckled and said, "It's already very good. Let me try it first!"

Xiao Lan, standing to the side, sighed helplessly. "The host hasn't even touched his chopsticks yet, and you've already started eating! Honestly!"

However, Kogoro Mouri clearly didn't consider himself an outsider. Since the meat was already laid out, he figured there was no harm in eating it first, so he immediately picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

A rich, savory, and mellow flavor exploded in my mouth, followed by a warm and delicious taste that rushed to my throat and nose, and then a slightly spicy sensation that made me sweat a little. This feeling was just so wonderful.

"This is braised pork made by Xiaoyu. It's not just made with pork, but also with several kinds of seafood minced into a paste, rolled together, fried once, and then steamed."

The little girl, Miyazawa Suzuna, laughed and said, "This dish is quite troublesome, and it's a good thing he's so patient." She couldn't help but giggle as she spoke.

Ai Haibara, sitting next to Rena, had a change in expression.

"I never expected Miyazaki Yu to be like this in real life."

"The last dish is here, everyone, let's start eating!"

Miyazaki Yu walked in carrying a large bowl and placed it in the center.

Even if he were someone with superhuman abilities, it would have taken him a considerable amount of time to make this dish.

Because this dish is the famous Clear Water Cabbage.

This dish is very complicated to make and takes a lot of time and effort. First, you need to make a broth using chicken, duck and pork bones. It is best to use free-range chicken.

After boiling these ingredients in water, skimming off all the foam, the ingredients are taken out, rinsed clean, and then boiled again in water. At this point, the broth is quite clear.

But this is just the beginning; the real essence comes later.

You will need to prepare a piece of pork, a piece of chicken, and a piece of beef. Mince these three types of meat and mix them separately with water.

Then it becomes a repetitive process.

The previously prepared broth can be strained and then mixed with minced meat. After boiling, the minced meat is skimmed off. This minced meat has absorbed all the impurities, making the broth clearer and more fragrant.

Next, add the remaining two types of minced meat to the broth and boil them separately. Then, remove and filter them. At this point, the broth is very clear. If it weren't for the fragrant aroma, you would almost think it was just a pot of water.

Next comes the cabbage. Boil a pot of water, add a cabbage and cook until tender. Remove it and cool it with ice water. Then, use a knife to trim the cabbage into the shape of a flower. Place the cabbage in a soup bowl and pour the previously prepared clear broth over it. The famous boiled cabbage in clear broth is now ready.

Of course, these are just some examples of cooking methods. Different ingredients will result in different flavors, and these are all subjective.

The dish attracted everyone's attention as soon as it was served, but they were a little surprised to see that it was just a head of cabbage.

"Miyazaki, you've been busy all this time, and all you've made is a cabbage? That's way too much trouble!"

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly and explained the entire cooking method, causing everyone's eyes to widen.

"What! This dish requires so many ingredients, and it has to be stewed repeatedly for so long, and several kinds of meat scraps are used to absorb impurities. Where did you learn all this?"

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "This is a royal dish from the Dragon Kingdom. Everyone, please try it and see how it tastes."

Everyone couldn't help but pick up their chopsticks and start eating. The moment they took a bite of the cabbage, they were all captivated, and the atmosphere became even more lively. Kogoro Mouri, in particular, didn't hold back at all and ate heartily.

Half of the main dishes ended up in his stomach.

After eating and drinking his fill, he burped and said, "Miyazaki, I'm very satisfied with your hospitality. There's something good happening tomorrow, would you like to come with me? It's Sunday, you can bring your two little girls along."

Miyazaki Yu was a little curious; was there something good going on with Kogoro Mouri?

Seeing his curious expression, Kogoro Mouri smiled smugly and said, "I am now a famous detective, not the same person I used to be. Just one day ago, a ghost ship that had been missing for seven years reappeared. Shikishima, who discovered the ghost ship, invited me to give a speech on the island."

Just think of it as a trip up there. How about that? I always think of you when there's something good happening.
