Akimoto Tadahiro had a needle stuck in his neck, probably because he had been anesthetized, which was why he couldn't move and looked terrible.

The other person was clearly more professional than him, and Shiraishi Zexiu felt admiration for him.

"Save me, my life!"

After being given anesthesia, Tadahiro Akimoto, who was lying on the ground and could not speak clearly, said that he thought the person who came was there to save him.

Shiraishi Sawa looked around, and seeing that no one was around, kicked Akimoto Tadahiro twice, gave him the middle finger, and slowly left.

If he didn't kick Shiraishi Zexiu these two times, he felt that all his expectations for the day would have been wasted.

After Shiraishi Zexiu left the alley, not far away, in another thicket.

The man in black who had just spoken into the walkie-talkie said:

"The main target is also in Kutian Lane today, and his purpose is probably revenge. I think the target has a vengeful nature, so I suggest that this be reported to the head of the family."

Chapter 52 The man in black's next target is...

I took the subway and wandered all the way to Ueno. When I arrived because of Tadahiro Akimoto's matter, I was already 5 minutes past my commute time.

"I'm so sorry, thank you for your hard work, Ichiryu-san. I'm here." Since she had said in advance that she would be late but arrived quickly, only Ichiryu Chiyo was left in the supermarket.

"Shiraishi-kun, do you know how heavy a burden I've been carrying? I feel completely exhausted. I've sacrificed so much for this family."

As Shiraishi Sawahide walked towards the staff room, he muttered:

"I was only five minutes late because the mulberry opera performance was over. And don't I know you? You always slack off when you're alone."

"How did you know, Shiraishi-kun?"

"I got some information out of you. I didn't know before, but I do now." Shiraishi Sawa raised an eyebrow at Ichiri Chiyo with a smug look.

"Heh, Shiraishi-kun, you've become smarter, haven't you?"

After changing into his employee uniform, Shiraishi Sawa pulled out a basket of goods from the storage room to restock, while chatting with Ichiyo Ichii.

"Do you know why I was late today?"

"Because you, this heartless man, are willing to abandon this family and go out to fool around alone."

"Goodnight, as the mulberry leaves fall." Shiraishi Zexiu buried himself in restocking.

"Alright, alright," Chiyo Ichiri, whose little appetite had been whetted, couldn't hold back any longer. "You were wrong, Shiraishi-kun. You've done so much for this family. You've worked so hard! Alright, just tell me what happened."

"You know, last week at the sports festival, I was targeted by that Tadahiro Akimoto. I'm not exactly a forgiving person, so I was planning to go after him today and teach him a lesson."

"and then?"

Shiraishi Sawa told Ichiyo everything that had just happened.

"It turns out that Akimoto Tadahiro has made quite a few enemies, enough to attract such a professional to deal with him. I was probably going to be much later today, but because of that man in black, I was only five minutes late."

"Oh~ I see, that's amazing." Chiyo said dismissively, lacking enthusiasm.

"No," Shiraishi Sawah protested, feeling slighted, "It's really hard to come across these professional thugs in black! Don't you find it amazing that you've come to Sang like this?"

After emphasizing it several times, Shiraishi Sawah sighed when he saw that Ichiyo still didn't react much. This woman simply didn't understand how exciting this was.

After restocking, Shiraishizawa Hide picked up a rag and began wiping down some dusty items, his mind wandering as he did so.

"We're going to make a move on Kume Ryozo the day after tomorrow. His route home is fairly normal, so we can only wait until he gets home late on Wednesday to see if there's a chance to strike... This is..."

With his brows furrowed deeply, Shiraishi Zexiu looked puzzled.

Shiraishi Sawa is currently wiping the mirror shelf, and the mirror in his hand reflects the scene at the entrance. Just across the street, Shiraishi Sawa sees a middle-aged man sitting at the entrance of the coffee shop reading a newspaper, although he is currently dressed in casual clothes.

But don't think I won't recognize you just because you've taken off your black suit and sunglasses!

Based on his build and face, Shiraishi Sawa is definitely the same person in the black suit he just met in the alley.

Continue wiping the mirror.

Shiraishi Sawa was somewhat confused.

"Is it here to follow me? Or is it just passing by by chance?"

"Did he realize I was there when he was disciplining Akimoto Tadahiro, and now he's disciplining me?"

"What did he mean by hitting Akimoto Tadahiro? Was he helping me or what? Could he be one of my men?"

"Could it be that my parents are actually the underground emperors of Tokyo, and I am the underground prince of Tokyo?"

"If I were the heir to the Tokyo royal family, would I still need to study?"

"What can I do if I don't study?"

......

How should I draft a will to prevent disputes over my inheritance?

"Holy crap! It's veering off course!"

Shiraishi Sawa quickly pulled his wandering thoughts back and reconsidered the matter.

He was more inclined to believe that the man had discovered his presence when he was teaching Akimoto Tadahiro a lesson, and was therefore following him.

Or, better yet, he was just passing by.

However, Shiraishi Sawa Hide doesn't feel particularly threatened yet. Firstly, there are usually a lot of people on his usual route, unlike the alleyway he encountered today.

Furthermore, Shiraishi Sawa Hide doesn't recall ever having a feud with someone of such background.

Secondly, although this person taught Akimoto Tadahiro a lesson, it was just a simple lesson, and he only suffered a little physical pain. It can be seen that he still had a sense of proportion in his actions.

However, Shiraishi Sawa Hide did not want to suffer the same pain.

We can only take it one step at a time and adapt to the situation.

Taking a deep breath, Shiraishi Zexiu continued cleaning the supermarket without revealing anything unusual.

--

"Shiraishi-kun, why do you look so serious?" Chiyo asked curiously, looking at Shiraishi Sawa, who was eating his lunchbox but whose face was full of worries.

"Huh?" Shiraishi Sawa's expression instantly returned to normal. He didn't want Chiyo to get involved in this kind of thing. "It's okay, I was just thinking about something."

"What could make you make that face?"

“My fiancée ran off with the best man when I got married yesterday.”

"Why didn't you invite me to your wedding, Shiraishi-kun?"

"That's not the point. The point is that my fiancée ran off with my best man, so I'm very serious."

"Damn it, you absolutely have to invite me next time, so that if you get jilted again, I can laugh at you right away."

"I'll definitely do it next time."

"Alright, Shiraishi-kun, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Why make up stories?" Seeing that Shiraishi Sawah didn't want to reveal anything, Ichiyo stopped asking.

“Because this is a technique you often use when you enter the Sang family,” Shiraishi Sawa added quietly.

"Where did I get that..." Chiyo was about to retort when she realized that it seemed to be true, so she took a sip of soup to ease the awkwardness.

"What? Can't you refute this? Your Highness, the fallen royal princess."

"Ahem, even I, a young lady who has never studied etiquette, know that you shouldn't talk while eating. Eat properly, baby dog."

"Come on, I haven't seen you say less. That's just the first sin. The second sin is that you actually taught Takanashi to deal with me and only make me suffer. If I can't win an argument, you'll just attack me directly, and you still say that I'll definitely back down."

"That's right, Shiraishi-kun. Dealing with you is a piece of cake for me."

As she spoke, Chiyo smiled and slowly reached out her hand toward Shiraishi Sawa's shoulder. In the past, Shiraishi Sawa would jump up and dodge at such times, and then verbally attack her in a fit of anger. This had become a source of amusement for Chiyo.

This time, Shiraishi Sawa only glanced at the hand, then directly reached out and grabbed Ichiryu Chiyo's wrist, pressing it onto his shoulder, and smilingly watched Ichiryu Chiyo's slightly surprised face:

"So that's how it is, my young lady? Does 'easy to catch' mean that your hand came right in front of me and I caught it?"

Chiyo didn't immediately pull her hand away, letting Shiraishi Sawa hold her arm, tilting her head and looking at Shiraishi Sawa with undisguised curiosity:

"That's surprising. I originally thought you were afraid of women, Shiraishi-kun, but it turns out you're not."

"If I were afraid of women, would I still be arguing with you all day long?"

"But even if you're not afraid of women, Shiraishi-kun, you can't be a pervert. How long are you going to hold my hand?"

“Just hold on,” Shiraishi Sawa said, completely unmoved by Ichiyo’s act. “I’m not holding on at all. You can easily pull away yourself, Ichiyo. It’s clearly you, this female hooligan, who’s unwilling to let go of my shoulder.”

Amused by Shiraishi Sawa's words, Chiyo withdrew her hand.

"Shiraishi-kun, you're getting better and better."

"nature."

.......

This time, Shiraishi Sawa ate quite quickly and walked out of the supermarket with Ichiyo Ichii.

The man in black was still sitting opposite, reading the newspaper. However, after the two people said goodbye to Granny Ueno and came out, Shiraishi Sawa saw out of the corner of his eye that the man in the suit had begun to tidy up the things on the table.

They really did come with me.

Shiraishi Sawah activated his skill upgrade item card from B to A, preparing to upgrade his fighting skills to A at any time.

Since Shiraishi Sawa always walks home, while Ichiyo always takes the subway, and Naka Mikado and Tahara live in almost opposite directions in Ueno, they have to take opposite routes.

That's perfect, in that case it won't affect Ichiro Chiyo no matter what.

"See you tomorrow at Yiru Sang."

See you tomorrow, Shiraishi-kun.

After saying goodbye, the two left back to back.

Shiraishi Sawa took out his phone but didn't turn on the screen, instead relying on the reflection on the phone screen to observe the man in the suit's actions.

After adjusting his position, Shiraishi Sawa saw the back of the man in the suit.

After double-checking that he wasn't mistaken, Shiraishi Sawa Hide turned to look at the man in the suit.

Brother, did you follow the wrong person?
