Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

The middle-aged man glanced at Kyoji Shinkawa who was leaving with a playful look, and then glanced at a man in black next to him. The man in black understood and changed into the regular clothes of Sakura's place, and followed Kyoji Shinkawa quietly.

The middle-aged man was Li Changsheng. He came here under the instructions of Li Xuan to find Asada Shino, but he did not go to see her directly. He just protected her secretly for a few days. Unexpectedly, he met Shinkawa Kyoji. After sending him away, he asked someone to follow her.

"Young people's love is always full of obstacles. You are unlucky and have encountered a mountain that you can never cross," Li Changsheng sighed, and then he and several men in black disappeared into the night.

On the other side, Kyoji Shinkawa, who successfully left, angrily scolded Shino Asada, "Shino Asada, you hateful woman. You obviously have a complicated background, but you still pretend to be pitiful to deceive me. It's disgusting. I have decided that I will personally end her life with the Black Star in the GGO competition."

The cursing Kyoji Shinkawa did not notice that there was a person following him in a blind spot not far behind him. He listened to everything he said. After confirming Kyoji Shinkawa's residence, he took out his mobile phone and sent back the information he heard.

Li Changsheng sent this information to Li Xuan shortly afterwards.

Rem is in charge of intelligence, so after Li Xuan asked, Rem told him the information sent by Li Changsheng.

Asuna was very angry when she heard that Kyoji Shinkawa actually wanted to do something bad to her friend, but she didn't understand why Li Xuan didn't just catch him directly. According to her understanding of Li Xuan, Li Xuan would not let go of Shino, such a beautiful woman, and now he actually let Kyoji Shinkawa go.

Seeing Asuna's puzzled expression, Li Xuan smiled and said, "I have arranged for Uncle Changsheng to protect Shino, her safety is not a problem. That Shinkawa Kyoji is related to Death Gun, and I need him to bring the other people out."

Now Asuna understood why Li Xuan let Kyoji Shinkawa go.

Seeing that Li Xuan put her own affairs first, Asuna happily rewarded Li Xuan.

"Well, today's black tea is not bad," Li Xuan gently stroked the back of the flaxen-haired girl nestled in his arms, smacked his lips, and made a comment.

Chapter 278 Tohsaka Sakura

Asuna and Li Xuan's tender time didn't last long because Erina and the others came over.

Li Xuanping treated everyone equally.

Today Asuna and the others are going to Rizhaoju to practice cooking. Li Xuan had originally planned to go with them, but after seeing the three talented cooking girls reunite again, he silently canceled the plan. When Altria heard what Asuna and the others said, her eyes lit up, and then when she saw Erza and the other three, she immediately chose to be on the same side with Li Xuan.

"Don't be sad, Leah. Today we're going to visit a newly opened museum in Little Sakura, and then we'll go to Uncle Liu's China House at noon. You'll have a treat then," Li Xuan reached out and touched Altria's head.

"Really?" When Altria heard that they were going to the China Building, the slightly lost little hair on her head instantly regained its spirit. The most important thing was that she remembered that she and Li Xuan would be alone together today.

Li Xuan tapped Altria's forehead with his finger, chuckled and said, "Why would I lie to you? Go change your clothes quickly, we'll be leaving soon."

Seeing Altria returning to her room in a hurry, followed by Ayuzawa Misaki, Li Xuan shook his head and looked at the head maid who was waiting on the side.

"Grefia, please ask Sakuya to prepare and send me and Leah to the National Museum in Kyoto, where Sakura is," Li Xuan told his head maid about the plan.

"Okay, young master," Gurefia bowed slightly and walked away slowly.

After a while, with the help of Ayuzawa Misaki, Altria also chose her clothes, a black lady's dress. Li Xuan picked up the shawl and put it on Altria, and a beautiful girl with a slightly heroic look appeared in front of him.

Seeing Li Xuan's satisfied look, Altria turned around in front of Li Xuan and said, "Mr. Xuan, does the dress I chose look good to me?"

How else could Li Xuan comment, "You look good. Your clothes are gorgeous and not vulgar. You are so beautiful that I almost couldn't recognize you are a girl. You are extraordinary."

Hearing Li Xuan's comment, Altria smiled, walked up to him, took his arm, and the two walked outside together.

Li Xuan is going to the Little Sakura National Museum today because someone is putting out items belonging to ancient heroes for a limited time, and I heard that it is related to Britain.

So Li Xuan simply brought Altria, who was born in England and came from a knight family.

Every time the king's phantom appeared, there would be continuous exclamations, and the two people getting off the car would arouse jealousy between men and women.

Li Xuan and Altria, who were respectfully invited in by the curator, exuded a noble aura.

Faced with the people who kept coming up to him and trying to build relationships, Li Xuan dealt with them simply. These people also saw that Li Xuan was being perfunctory, so they didn't make themselves bored and said goodbye and left.

Li Xuan and Altria walked slowly in the expo hall, stopping from time to time to talk about the history of ancient objects. Altria mainly knew about the history of Britain, while Li Xuan had a certain understanding of the history of countries around the world.

There was no awkward silence caused by unrecognizable objects. On the way, the two met an acquaintance, a girl with long purple hair and delicate features, Toosaka Sakura. She was Toosaka Rin's younger sister. She would come to the villa with Toosaka Rin from time to time, or go shopping with Asuna and the others.

"Sakura", Toosaka Sakura was looking at the small cherry blossom antiques in the museum with her mother Zenjo Aoi. She heard a familiar, slightly heroic female voice calling her from behind. She turned around and saw Li Xuan and Altria walking towards her arm in arm.

"Oh, it's Leah," Toosaka Sakura let go of the hand that she was holding with Zenjo Aoi and hugged Altria.

Li Xuan nodded to Zenjo Aoi and said, "Hello, Mrs. Tousaka."

Zenjo Aoi is the wife of Toshiomi Toosaka, the owner of the Gem Group and the Toosaka Foundation, and the mother of Rin Toosaka and Sakura Toosaka.

"Hello, Master Li Xuan, thank you for taking care of Rin and the Jewel Group." Zenjo Aoi first thanked Li Xuan for taking care of her eldest daughter, Toosaka Rin, and then thanked Li Xuan for taking care of her husband's business.

Zenjo Aoi is very supportive of the relationship between her eldest daughter Toosaka Rin and Li Xuan. Before this, the head of the Matou family had come to discuss the marriage between the two families with her husband Toosaka Tokiomi, allowing Toosaka Rin or Toosaka Sakura to marry Matou Shinji of the Matou family.

The Matou family is a rare insect breeding group in Kozakura. Because the insects they breed have various magical effects, they are a very famous business group in Kozakura. As far as Kozakura is concerned, only the Matou family has the means to breed rare insects, and they have no competitors.

The insect-raising method of the Matou family is actually a secret art that has been passed down through several generations over the past hundred years. They all marry within the family to prevent the secret art from spreading out. However, because there were too few descendants left by the previous head of the Matou family, the Matou family's insect secret art has very high requirements for the cultivator.

There are no suitable candidates in this generation, and there are few people in the family, let alone high-quality women. Therefore, the Matou family has set its sights on some consortiums in Sakura that can be compared with the Matou family.

The head of the Toosaka family's Jewelry Group, Toosaka Tokiomi, only gave birth to two daughters. Moreover, the head of the Matou family had seen through the secret technique that the qualifications of Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura were very suitable for inheriting the insect secret technique, so the head of the Matou family planned to let Matou Shinji marry one of the two daughters of the Toosaka family.

Zenjo Aoi has seen Matou Shinji, and she and her husband Toosaka Tokiomi are not satisfied with him, because this successor of the Matou family is very poor in all aspects, and it can be seen at a glance that he is a person with no potential. Therefore, Toosaka Tokiomi wants to directly reject the Matou family's marriage request, but when he thinks of the benefits brought by the Matou family's insect secret technique, Toosaka Tokiomi hesitates again and has to say that he needs to think about it.

Later, when Toosaka Tokiomi was about to make a decision, his eldest daughter Toosaka Rin came back and said that she had found her lover. Of course, Toosaka Tokiomi and Zenjo Aoi also had to investigate. Then, when they learned that the eldest daughter Toosaka Rin's lover was Li Xuan, they made the decision immediately. What about the secret insect technique of the Matou family? We will not have any contact with each other in the future. I am afraid that Young Master Li Xuan will misunderstand.

Originally, Sakura Toosaka was a very quiet person, but after Zenjo Aoi and Tosaka Tokiomi learned about the situation of the group of girls around Li Xuan, they directly asked their eldest daughter Sakura Toosaka to bring her younger sister Sakura Toosaka to show up in front of Li Xuan whenever they had time.

Looking at Toosaka Sakura, who was chatting with Altria, the daughter of her relatives in England, and secretly turned her head from time to time to look at Li Xuan, then immediately blushed and turned back, Zenjo Aoi felt that the idea she and her husband had given to their eldest daughter was very good.

The younger daughter, Sakura Tousaka, is now obviously attracted to Li Xuan.

Chapter 279: Vow of Victory

"Mrs. Toosaka, Rin is an excellent person. Thank you and President Toosaka for being willing to give up her love for her." Li Xuan was quite satisfied that Rin Toosaka often brought Toosaka Sakura to Rizhao City. The two of them got along very well.

When Zenjo Aoi heard what Li Xuan said, she smiled happily, "Rin is lucky that Master Li Xuan likes her. I just hope that Rin can work hard and I'll trouble Master Li Xuan to take care of her in the future."

Li Xuan knew that Chancheng Kui understood the meaning of his words, so he said "hmm" and didn't say anything more about it.

The two followed behind Leah and Toosaka Sakura. Zenjo Aoi saw Li Xuan take a look at the items on display and then move away. He knew that the young master of the Xia family would not look down on these ancient items that were very precious in Little Sakura. After thinking about it, Zenjo Aoi understood that any item in the Xia family's collection might be more valuable than the things here.

"Is Young Master Li Xuan here this time to see the relic of the British medieval king?" Zen Cheng Kui quickly thought of the possibility of Li Xuan appearing here.

Li Xuan looked at the equally outstanding woman next to him with a little surprise. She thought of the reason why he came here so quickly. No wonder she could give birth to two such outstanding daughters, Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura.

"This is part of the reason, but I don't know the details, so I came here out of curiosity. If Mrs. Toosaka knows something, please tell me," Li Xuan had no intention of hiding anything. This was one of the reasons why he came here today. He also didn't want to be dragged by Erza and the others to eat some weird food.

After hearing what Li Xuan said, Chancheng Kui slowly told him what he knew about today's limited-time exhibit.

The limited-time exhibit on display today is extremely rare, and the information revealed by the owner proves with a high degree of certainty that this is a relic once owned by a king of medieval England. In the storybooks, this relic was given to the king by a fairy, and the king then used this weapon called the Oath of Victory to dominate Great Britain for an entire era.

As to why this item, a relic of the British king, is not exhibited in a British museum but instead is exhibited here in Xiaoyinghua, it is not very clear. However, it is said that this relic has attracted many famous collectors and consortiums.

"Pledge of Victory?" When Li Xuan heard the name, his gaze shifted to Altria who was whispering with Tosaka Sakura not far away.

Why does this name sound familiar?

Continuing to walk into the museum and arriving at the center, Li Xuan also saw the golden scabbard that was being watched by many collectors.

Painted in golden color and dotted with rare gems, the scabbard shows no signs of damage. It is hard to believe that this thing is from the Middle Ages. However, it is a bit regrettable that this relic named Oath of Victory only has a scabbard but no sword body.

"I'm sorry, Master Li Xuan, I have to leave now. Let Sakura continue with you." After arriving here, Zenjo Aoi said goodbye to Li Xuan. She saw her husband. She has her own circle, which are the business partners who are chatting with Toosaka Tokiomi now, and the ladies around them.

Li Xuan saw the situation not far away and understood what was going on. "You're welcome, Mrs. Toosaka, you just go about your business, Sakura will be fine here."

When Toosaka Sakura heard her mother's words, she quickly tightened her arm around Altria.

"Sakura, don't be so nervous. This is not your first time with Xuanjun. You were like this when we were in the villa. Even Kotonoha has changed, so why are you still like this?" When Altria saw Sakura Toosaka's actions and Li Xuan's approach, she spoke with a soothing tone.

When Toosaka Sakura heard what Altria said, she whispered, "How could Kotonoha and I be the same? Kotonoha was recognized by Xuanjun himself, and so was Sister Rin."

After she finished speaking, Toosaka Sakura heard Li Xuan's laughter, "Is that so? Sakura, then in what occasion do you want me to acknowledge that you are qualified?"

Li Xuan walked up to the two of them, heard the conversation between Toosaka Sakura and Altria, and teased the quiet and beautiful girl with purple hair.

"Eh!!" Toosaka Sakura found out that her whisper was heard by Li Xuan, so she immediately hid behind Altria and played the game of "You can't see me".

Li Xuan was gently elbowed by Altria, then he reached out and pulled out the purple-haired beautiful girl hiding behind Altria, "Sakura, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had this idea. Let me think, we'll go to the Kyoto Tower later, and then I'll switch all of Sakura's live broadcast channels there, and let all of Sakura prove that you belong to me, how about it?"

"Woo~, just as Sister Lin said, Xuan-kun is really something." After hearing Li Xuan's even more exaggerated statement, Toosaka Sakura couldn't remain reserved any longer. After all, she felt that if she didn't respond to Li Xuan, he might really do what he said just now. Although she was very much looking forward to it, she didn't like being so high-profile.

"Well, two beautiful ladies, let's go and take a look at this relic of the Knight King. Leah, this is your area of ​​expertise," Li Xuan stretched out his hand and asked.

Altria took Li Xuan's hand and walked forward, while Li Xuan reached out and took Toosaka Sakura's hand, which made the purple-haired girl's face heat up again. However, she did not refuse. She felt a little happy in her heart. She had already had a good impression of Li Xuan when she was in the villa, but the girl's reservedness and quiet personality made her not as bold as her sister Toosaka Rin.

The three of them came to the display counter of the scabbard of the Oath of Victory. The scabbard, which was more than one meter long, lay quietly inside the display counter. The golden scabbard was covered with mysterious patterns, which made people feel the extraordinaryness of this item at a glance.

Altria looked at the scabbard carefully. It was very similar to the scabbard she remembered, except that there was no sword. She could not find any signs that the scabbard was forged.

"Mr. Xuan, this thing seems to be real. However, the Knight King is just a legendary figure in Britain. The records in my family cannot even distinguish whether this Knight King is a man or a woman. Now, the scabbard of his/her sword actually appears in this Far East region. It feels really sudden," Altria explained to Li Xuan and Toosaka Sakura, comparing the golden scabbard.

The Sword of Promise and Victory is the sword of the British Knight King, also known as the Sword in the Stone. According to legend, when the Knight King was not yet king, he pulled out a sword that no one had ever been able to pull out from a stone cast with magic by the magician Merlin, so it was called the Sword in the Stone at first. After that, the Knight King used this sword to be invincible, and raised the sword to indicate that the Knight would return victorious, so it was later called the Sword of Promise and Victory.

Chapter 280 Holy Grail War

A more legendary record is that this sword was commissioned by Merlin by the Fairy of the Lake to select the king of Great Britain, and whoever pulls out this sword will end the chaos in Great Britain. This sword is also called the Sword in the Lake.

When Altria saw the scabbard, the more she looked at it, the more she had a strange feeling in her heart. She felt as if there was a voice inside the scabbard calling her. She was distracted for a few seconds and only came back to her senses when Li Xuan called her.

After coming to her senses, Altria found that she had almost walked into the exhibition cordon.

When Li Xuan saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly. He did not feel anything unusual from the scabbard, but Altria's absent-mindedness just now was definitely not an illusion. She is now a cultivator in the realm of true person, and she could still be affected. This means that there might be something in this scabbard.

After Altria was called back by Li Xuan, she no longer felt like she was being called when she looked at the scabbard, but she just felt a sense of familiarity with the scabbard.

Afterwards, Altria continued to tell Li Xuan and the others about other deeds of the Knight King, which were not much different from what Li Xuan knew. In fact, because Altria was from a knight family, she even knew more secret rumors and news about the Knight King.

The Knight King's Sword in the Stone was once broken, but later with the help of Merlin, he found the Excalibur as a replacement. However, Merlin told the Knight King that although the Excalibur was indestructible, the scabbard was more important. As long as the scabbard was on the body, the person holding the Excalibur would never bleed.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, this scabbard is indeed a bit magical. Li Xuan was planning to call the person in charge of the museum to buy the scabbard when he heard a hearty laugh behind him.

"Haha, Li Xuan, you are here as expected," a handsome blond man appeared not far behind Li Xuan. He had Nordic features. He was exactly Sorena, whom he hadn't seen for a while after their visit to Academy City.

Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Sorena, "It seems that this scabbard is not an ordinary collectible."

"Of course, I came here specially," Sorena showed a smug look, then pulled Li Xuan aside and told him something mysteriously that surprised Li Xuan.

"Cup?" Li Xuan touched his chin and thought about what Sorena had said to him.

During his vacation, Sorena found a lost temple in Greece, where he found a longbow buried in the ruins and read a strange story.

Hundreds of years ago, it seemed that at a certain time in the human world, a specific ceremony would be performed, summoning seven heroes from myths or legends in a specific place to engage in a life-and-death duel game for seven days, competing for something called the Holy Grail of the Universal Wishing Machine.
