Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

"I don't know either," Im said. "Anyway, one day, I suddenly felt disheartened, and that's how I ended up like this today."

Chapter 0937: The New Regime

Shiraishi Osamu coldly said, "Since that's the case, it seems you've realized there's no way to change things. In that case, I have no choice but to overthrow you and establish a new regime."

Im snorted and said, "If you're so capable, then go ahead and try. Anyone can just talk big."

Shiraishi Osamu snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would boast and talk big?"

Upon hearing this, Im gasped.

Indeed, Shiraishi Shu is definitely not an ordinary person, because Shiraishi Shu himself has quite outstanding strength, and he has always worked hard, which is obviously better than others.

Osamu Shiraishi continued, "So if you continue to act so unreasonably, one day I will defeat you."

Im said, "I look forward to that day..."

Just then, Im walked to the counter next to him, took out a bottle of sake, and said to Shiraishi Osamu, "It's a pity we didn't meet sooner. In essence, we are men with similar thoughts, but our positions are different, so we will eventually clash one day."

Shiraishi Osamu nodded and said, "Yes, we will eventually have to face each other."

Im then said, “Since we are not enemies today, let’s have a drink to commemorate this great moment.”

Shiraishi Osamu smiled slightly and said, "Interesting!"

So the two sat down and started drinking right there. Im had a very high alcohol tolerance, drinking one glass after another without even turning red in the face.

Osamu Shiraishi also has a high alcohol tolerance; he drinks frequently, so he can hold his liquor well.

Only someone who can drink a lot will drink every now and then.

If a man is a poor drinker, he probably wouldn't allow himself to drink like this, and his body would likely not be able to handle it. Shiraishi Osamu has a very strong physique, which is why he can drink so much alcohol.

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "This wine is truly delicious; it's the most delicious wine I've ever tasted."

Im laughed heartily and said, "Of course! I've treasured this wine for about a hundred years. On the entire ocean, I reckon only you and I are qualified to drink this wine."

Shiraishi Osamu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for appreciating me so much."

Just then, Im took a swig of wine, which clearly meant you were out.

Im turned the bottle upside down, but not a single drop of wine came out, so he frowned.

Im said, "Oh dear, I should have been more normal. We finished this whole pot of wine so quickly."

Shiraishi Osamu touched his hair, laughed awkwardly, and said, "I'm very sorry. If it were just you, you probably wouldn't have finished drinking so quickly, but if we split it between two people, there won't be much left."

Im nodded and said, "Is that so? I didn't expect that the tense atmosphere just now would disappear without a trace."

Upon hearing the words "4.0", Shiraishi Osamu tightly closed his lips.

This was the first clash between two powerful individuals. It appeared quite ordinary, but in reality, they both knew perfectly well that they were only willing to sit down and drink because they couldn't defeat each other.

If they were 100% confident they could subdue the other side, they would have already been at each other's throats by now.

Im stood up and said to Shiraishi Shu:

Chapter 0938: Brilliant

"You are a swordsman. I have recently developed a new sword technique. I wonder if you could come and watch it for me and give me some feedback?"

Shiraishi Xiu said with a grin, "I know your swordsmanship is quite superb, as I could tell from your perfect harmony with the sword just now."

Im squinted and smiled, saying, "You can also become one with the sword, that's wonderful."

Shiraishi Xiu said with a grin, "The unity of man and sword is something only the ten swordsmen who have honed their swordsmanship to the extreme can achieve. Whether it's you or me, we both have an unparalleled pursuit of swordsmanship."

Im nodded and said, "I agree with that. From the moment I picked up a sword, I knew I had to become an excellent swordsman in this life. I greatly admire men like you who have honed their swordsmanship to the extreme."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed heartily and said, "Aren't you the same?!"

Im strolled over to the sword and gently lifted it up!

Then, he began wielding the sword right there. Im's swordsmanship was incredibly light. It looked like he was twirling a sword, but it was actually more like he was dancing—his swordsmanship consisted of thrusts, jabs, parries, chops, and parries!

One move after another, each one faster, fiercer, and more domineering than the last.

"These are all the simplest killing moves!"

Shiraishi Xiu said so.

Im said with a grin, "It seems your eyes are indeed extraordinary. What beautiful eyes they are."

An excellent swordsman must have a pair of sharp eyes so that he can see the flaws in the opponent's swordsmanship. Clearly, Shiraishi Xiu has such eyes.

This is why Im admired Shiraishi Osamu even more.

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "Thank you for your compliment. Your eyes also puzzle me quite a bit. I never expected you to have such a gaze."

Im said, "Thank you for your compliment."

At this moment, Shiraishi Xiu stood up and said, "I didn't see any flaws in your swordsmanship just now, and I don't have any suggestions, so let me show off my swordsmanship as well. I wonder if you mind?"

Im squinted and smiled, "Why would I mind? If I were to mind, I'd be too petty."

Shiraishi Xiu laughed and said, "I wouldn't dare say you're stingy, because I think you've been generous enough. We're clearly on different sides, yet you still treated me to drinks."

Im bowed slightly to Shiraishi Osamu and said, "It's the least I can do. If I don't even extend such hospitality, what face do I have to live in this world?"

Shiraishi Xiu quickly explained, "It's not that exaggerated. I just really admire your magnanimity; it truly seems like the kind of magnanimity a man at the top of the world should possess."

The magnanimity one should possess.

Im smiled slightly and said, "Thank you! It's nothing special. I'm just lonely, so I'm willing to keep you here to chat and have a drink with me."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed, "In that case, it proves we're kindred spirits!"

"What does it mean to be birds of a feather flock together!" Im exclaimed. "We call this mutual respect between heroes!"

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "Perhaps, your explanation is more accurate."

Chapter 0939: A Gentle Beckoning

After a while, Shiraishi Xiu stood up and walked to the side of the sword.

Clang!

At that moment, he simply waved his hand, and the sword flew into his hand.

"Incredible sword control technique!"

Im's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say something.

Bai Shixiu grinned and said, "Thank you for your kind words. Let me offer you this sword technique as a way of repaying the kindness of the wine you just gave me!"

Just then, the sword was lifted lightly by Bai Shixiu and flew away.

However, the sword did not fly far away, but instead began to revolve around Bai Shixiu, with Bai Shixiu at the center.

Seeing this scene before him, Im was horrified. He had never imagined that Shiraishi Osamu possessed such abilities.

Im exclaimed in surprise, "Your swordsmanship is truly superb! Even I might not be able to execute it!"

Shiraishi Osamu laughed heartily and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bai Shixiu retrieved the sword.

"You've reached such a level!"

Im said, "I didn't expect you to be able to wield this sword so easily. You should know that this sword is not an ordinary sword, but one of the Supreme Grade Swords."

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Xiu exclaimed in horror, "This is also a Supreme Grade Sword?!"

Im nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly it. That's why I was so surprised by you, to be able to so easily wield the Supreme Great Blade and obtain it."

This recognition truly proves your exceptional talent.

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "It's not that exaggerated. It's just that I have a slightly different opinion on swordsmanship."

Im clapped his hands and said, "Indeed, you are a special man, which is why even your swordsmanship is so special."

Shiraishi Xiu said with a grin, "That's nothing special. If your swordsmanship doesn't have a distinctive feature, then it will always just be swordsmanship and will never become a true art."

Im continued, "If you want to combine art with methods of killing, that's just wishful thinking."

Shiraishi Osamu shook his head and said, "The two cannot be combined, and it would be meaningless."

Im said, "That's exactly why I don't understand why you're so obsessed with pursuing art. The constitution is the constitution, and art is art!"

Shiraishi Osamu nodded and said, "Oh, I understand. It seems I've lost this match today."

Im shook his head and said, "It's not that you lost, it's just that I've lived longer than you. I've seen many wars and the people who died in them, and among these people, there were many top swordsmen."

Im continued, "Their idea was similar to yours: to combine art and swordsmanship, but they ended up losing their lives for nothing."

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "Thank you! Thank you for your advice."

Im said (to the King): "It's not that exaggerated. If you'd like, I can tell you something else, about the secrets of swordsmanship."

Shiraishi Osamu then said, "Oh? If that's the case, then I'm intrigued."

"Regarding the profound mysteries of swordsmanship, in the final stage, there should be a realm even more remarkable than the unity of man and sword!"

"Im said coldly."

Shiraishi Osamu nodded and said, "I think I understand what you're saying, and I wholeheartedly agree."

Chapter 0940: Gritting Teeth

call out!

Suddenly, Shiraishi Xiu disappeared from the spot. Imbu gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, he left without even saying goodbye."

So Im ordered his men to bring the Five Elders over.

There are five Elders in total, and they usually act together, but this time Im brought along the bald Elder.

The bald Five Elders said, "I wonder what business you have with me here."

Im said with a grin, "I called you here because I want you to do something really interesting..."

The bald Five Elders looked at Im in surprise and said, "Isn't there anything interesting?"

Im said, "That means I want you to go and kill Shiraishi Shu for me."

"Shiraishi Xiu!? Where is he?" the bald Five Elders asked incredulously.
