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

No one noticed that Shiho Miyano blushed slightly. Although Sonoko was referring to Ouran Morita, she had actually already secretly fallen for Yu Miyazaki.

Just thinking about it makes me realize how much of a womanizer this guy is. There are already three women right in front of him, not to mention Vermouth, who is far away. That woman is sexy and charming, and she has even captivated Miyazaki Yu, a lecherous man.

These are only the things I know; there are countless other things I don't know.

Being in the RV was so much more comfortable than riding in a bus. Everyone drank and chatted along the way, and time flew by.

When everyone got off the bus and saw the view of Mount Rakusakura, they were all stunned.

At this time, Mount Rakusakura had become a huge construction site, with many magnificent buildings already rising from the ground.

Before Miyazaki Yu returned to Japan, the Japanese government had already passed a resolution to build a palace here. Moreover, they went to great lengths to get Miyazaki Yu to agree, and their actions were somewhat fait accompli.

This so-called palace is not just a single building, but a relatively large complex. Therefore, the entire complex can be divided into multiple independent units and constructed separately.

Therefore, some building areas that are certain to remain unchanged, such as widening roads or creating scenery using an existing small lake, can be started ahead of schedule. When Miyazaki Yu makes requests, he will only offer his opinions on things like architectural style and structure.

Therefore, construction had already begun before Miyazaki Hayao returned to Japan.

Even so, the building has only been roughly constructed; the details are being worked on while construction continues, with design modifications happening day and night.

So the most spectacular thing now is not the buildings, but the people building them. Tens of thousands of busy workers and thousands of construction machines are constantly moving around the construction site. Such a scene is truly breathtaking.

Chapter 640 Sword Qi Soars to the Heavens (3rd update!)

"This is absolutely stunning!"

Xiao Lan couldn't help but blurt it out.

Everyone nodded in agreement; the scene before them truly showcased the greatness of human power.

Humans are naturally drawn to a sense of order and structure. Just as we feel a powerful sense of awe when we see an army marching in orderly formation or a vast army.

At this moment, the huge construction site gave everyone this feeling.

At this moment, a group of people ran quickly towards them. Apart from a few people in the middle, the entire group consisted of people dressed as soldiers.

"It's Lord Miyazaki! Greetings to Lord Miyazaki!"

All the soldiers quickly lined up on both sides, forming neat and orderly formations, as if they were ready to be inspected at any moment.

The group of men at the head of the group hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miyazaki Kensei, don't be surprised. In order to speed up the project and because some projects require a certain degree of secrecy, all 29,000 people currently working on the project are soldiers from the engineering corps."

After speaking, the tall, thin man stepped forward, bowed, and smiled, saying, "I am Kinoshita Juro, the person in charge of the entire Rakuzayama architectural complex. Welcome, Mr. Miyazaki and all of you, to visit. It is truly an honor for me that you have taken time out of your busy schedules to come and inspect this place."

Let me act as your guide and show you all the sights here.

As he spoke, he walked to the side of the crowd, appearing extremely enthusiastic.

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly. This guy was quite interesting. He had made arrangements before coming, and found a very shrewd and charming person to receive him.

"Mr. Kinoshita, right? Since you are the person in charge, why don't you show us around Mount Rakusakura? After all, once this place is completed, it will be my exclusive palace, and I still need to know about it."

Kinoshita Juro smiled and said, "Miyazaki-sama is right. Since this is your palace, it should be satisfactory to you."

As he spoke, he turned to the side and raised his hand, guiding the crowd forward.

Six small sightseeing vehicles were already prepared ahead. There were eleven people in total, and each vehicle had enough seats for two people.

Thus, the group's tour officially began.

When you look up from the bottom of the mountain, you can feel how vast the entire building is.

This Kinoshita Juro also fully demonstrated his skill in using eloquent tongue.

"The design team's design concept is to take the word 'perfection' as the starting point and central idea of ​​the design here. The entire architectural complex will be built around the central palace complex as the core, maximizing both practicality and aesthetics!"

The overall architectural style, in terms of appearance, all tend to resemble the classical palaces of the Dragon Kingdom. It combines the styles of more than ten famous classical buildings and optimizes them to the greatest extent. More importantly, it maximizes practicality.

Once completed, the finished product will exude classical beauty from the outside, while modern technology will be seamlessly integrated into the interior.

In particular, some of the building materials are the best in the world today, and some materials for key locations even need to be imported from all over the world.

A batch of high-end building materials specially supplied by the United States has already departed from the United States and will arrive in Japan in ten days. We have also ordered a large batch of high-end timber from China and Southeast Asia, which will arrive soon as well.

Everyone along the way experienced firsthand the immense power that comes with unlimited money.

Even Sonoko Suzuki was utterly shocked at this moment.

As one of the heirs to a large conglomerate, she is very sensitive to numbers. With a rough estimate, she came up with a staggering figure.

The total cost of the construction, including the transformation of the mountain, the construction of the landscape, the building of various building complexes, and the artificial lake, not to mention the various electrical and security devices that will definitely be installed later, exceeds 50 billion yuan!

In the original work, countless manga fans envied the Suzuki family's wealth, which seemed to be as endless as bathwater.

However, this is just an illusion. Although the Suzuki family is wealthy and has built things like the Suzuki Tower and tourist parks, it seems that the Suzuki family alone supports all the expenses.

Imagine if the Suzuki family could easily spend tens of billions of yen on projects with extremely high uncertainty, and these projects would often be destroyed by things like terrorist attacks or bombings. That would be a real joke.

After all, even if you had a mountain of gold, you wouldn't waste it like that.

Once such a foolish thing happens, investors' trust in this conglomerate will be greatly reduced, and it will cause turmoil in the entire stock market. This is by no means an exaggeration.

So the truth is that many of these buildings were projects undertaken by the Suzuki family, not funded by them; they were simply given the Suzuki name.

Therefore, even Sonoko Suzuki was taken aback when the cost was estimated.

What's even more frightening is that this is just a very rough estimate; the actual cost could easily double, which is not incomprehensible.

The principle is very simple. It's like a house: the price difference between a bare-bones house and a fully furnished one is enormous.

Moreover, the most important value here is not how much money was spent, but rather the privilege itself!

The entire area of ​​Cherry Blossom Mountain, spanning nearly a hundred miles, would practically become a small country within a country. This power is the most terrifying thing.

After visiting the construction area, we then visited the various landscapes that have been cleverly preserved. The first was the ten-mile cherry blossom forest. Once the cherry blossom season arrives, the entire mountain range will be immersed in a sky full of brilliant cherry blossoms, which is truly spectacular.

Although the cherry blossom season has passed, the ten-mile cherry blossom forest is still lush and green.

Then they took a boat ride on the lake, and then went to the top of the mountain to enjoy the sunset before the day's journey came to an end.

Kinoshita had already made arrangements for everyone. This area used to be a scenic spot, and there used to be a five-star hotel here. Now that this area has been designated as a restricted zone, the hotel has lost its business and was directly acquired by the government at cost price, just so that Mr. Miyazaki Yu could stay here. It can be said that he went to great lengths.

After arriving at the hotel, everyone took a relaxing soak in the hotel's large swimming pool under the guidance of staff, relieving the fatigue of the day.

Then came the main event, a very sumptuous dinner. After finishing the meal, Kinoshita Juro did not rush to leave.

"Your Excellency Miyazaki, there is something I need to confirm with you. As you saw today, the most central part of the entire complex is the main hall at the foot of the mountain. However, this main hall does not yet have a name. Therefore, I hope that Your Excellency Miyazaki can bestow a name upon this main hall. This main hall will surely become a sacred place in the eyes of the world."

"The name of the main hall?"

Miyazaki Yu was also slightly taken aback, as he hadn't really considered this point. However, this didn't stump him. After a moment's thought, a name appeared in his mind.

"Let's call it the Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky Palace."

Please support me, please subscribe, and please give me your feedback!

Chapter 641 Order: Cease the Investigation

"Sword Qi Soaring to the Heavens Palace? What a wonderful name! It's majestic and powerful, and it perfectly matches Lord Miyazaki's unparalleled and powerful swordsmanship. It's truly brilliant!"

After confirming his name, he took his leave.

He was actually extremely busy. In order to complete the project as soon as possible, the government mobilized tens of thousands of engineering troops, and he naturally had to do his best.

After the visit, everyone's lives returned to normal, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

But in reality, all sorts of subtle changes are happening quietly.

In the Metropolitan Police Department office, Inspector Megure looked at Shinichi Kudo in front of him, his eyes reddening slightly, and patted him heavily on the shoulder with his large hands.

"Brother Kudo, it's been so long! You're finally back. I know about your father's situation. Please take care of yourself."

There were some things he didn't say. In his heart, if Shinichi Kudo hadn't appeared for a long time, then he was probably in grave danger.

As a high-ranking police officer, he had secretly investigated after Shinichi Kudo's disappearance, but to no avail. The young detective seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Later, although there were occasional snippets of news about him, they were always fleeting, and no trace of him could be found.

This made him secretly sad. With such a good detective, although the police's ability might be questioned, as long as they could solve cases quickly, he could still bear the minor grievances.

After all, once a murder case occurs, it puts enormous pressure on the police, with all the pressure from above and below converging on the criminal investigators.

Those people won't understand your predicament; they'll just take it for granted and push all the responsibility onto themselves.

So for criminal police officers, being scolded or ridiculed is not only unpleasant, but also better than being bullied by everyone from top to bottom.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Inspector Megure. I'm fine now."

Looking at the excited fat police officer, he was also moved. After all, it's a good thing to have one more person in the world who remembers you.

Inspector Megure didn't press for more details. He knew that the boy must have experienced many unusual things, and these things must have involved many secrets.

For example, the phone call I received yesterday!

Inspector Megure continued, "Brother Kudo, I actually received a call from the Prime Minister yesterday. He told me some things during the call."

Shinichi Kudo said seriously, "Inspector Megure, this is the second reason I came here today. I am now acting as a liaison between Lord Miyazaki and the government. Any requests Lord Miyazaki may have will be relayed to the government by me."

Inspector Megure nodded, feeling a sense of relief.

With such a powerful figure right in my jurisdiction, I feel immense pressure.

Historically, positions like Inspector Megure's have always been extremely difficult, involving significant responsibilities and a wide range of duties, and being subject to the jurisdiction of many higher-level departments.

It's somewhat similar to being the head of a county in a provincial capital. Everything is related to you, but in this place full of powerful and influential people, if you want to exercise your law enforcement power, there will be many obstacles and consequences.

He was one of Miyazaki Yu's closer friends, so of course he knew his temperament.

This young man appears gentle, but he is actually arrogant, especially now that he has trampled even America under his feet. Conventional laws are no better than toilet paper when dealing with someone like him.

The fact that the other party has taken the initiative to send Shinichi Kudo, showing a willingness to communicate and negotiate, is already quite commendable.

The current situation is that Shinichi Kudo will act as Miyazaki Yu's representative to talk to the government, while Inspector Megure will act as the government's representative to talk to Miyazaki Yu's side. Since the two are acquaintances and friends despite their age difference, many things can be discussed easily.

"Inspector Megure, there is one more thing I need to inform you of: the police investigation into the Taoist priest who is currently residing in His Excellency Miyazaki's residence is hereby suspended."

"Ah? Lord Miyazaki has already noticed?"

Miyazaki Yu's current identity is extremely sensitive. As a super strong person who can influence the world's order, anyone who appears around him is a key target of surveillance.

The entire Beika Town may seem peaceful, but in reality, every camera on every street is monitored by dedicated personnel.

Even if a strange stray cat appears within the boundaries of Beika Town, it will be noticed within ten minutes.
