Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

Now, the cat's-eye blue cone stone the size of an adult's palm is right in front of them, and the sisters can't help but be excited.

"The shape of this cat's-eye blue cone stone is actually the shape of two jewel swords. It's incredible, Xuanjun~" When Toosaka Rin saw this gift that went straight into her heart, she looked at Li Xuan with watery eyes, and a hint of charm emerged in her expression.

Li Xuan smiled and said, "I know that you sisters like to polish gemstones, so I specially asked someone to buy the cat's-eye blue cone stone vein in San Benito County. We directly dug out the entire vein, and finally selected and cut out these two gem swords."

"The jewel sword was once the highest ceremonial item of your Tohsaka family. If you infuse your inner energy into it, after a period of time you will be able to obtain a magical item that can interfere with parallel worlds," Li Xuan pointed out the true usage of the jewel sword, which was the method of making the jewel sword that he saw in the notes sent by the old man.

The Toosaka sisters cheered again, put the jewel sword back into the necklace, grabbed Li Xuan's hand, and held it tightly, allowing him to feel the throbbing heartbeats of both of them at this moment.

Li Xuan nodded very affirmatively, passing.

"Okay, Leah, don't worry, come here, tear off the black cloth yourself and see the gift I prepared for you," Li Xuan grabbed gently, and after Toosaka Rin blushed and let go of his arm, he pointed to the box covered with black cloth that was carried by Ayuzawa Misaki.

Altria stood up immediately and walked a few steps to the front of Ayuzawa Misaki. She looked at the box which was about 60 to 70 centimeters in size with curiosity in her eyes. She was guessing what gift her man would prepare for her.

As if it knew that the person coming was its future owner, the box suddenly moved a few times and a childish cry was uttered.

"!?" When Altria heard the voice, she seemed to have thought of something. The smile on her face was filled with strong joy. She quickly reached out to grab the black cloth, took a deep breath, and pulled the black cloth down.

oooo~

A childish voice came out from the mouth of this little lion which was only the size of a palm.

"Wow, it's really a little lion!" As if she had received the most beloved gift, Altria immediately opened the cage covered by the black cloth, reached in and took out the little lion, which was still small in size but already had the majestic aura of the king of beasts.

After being caught by the scruff of the neck of fate, the little lion uttered a few more ah sounds, flapped its four little feet in the air a few times, and then showed a resigned expression, stretched out its tongue to lick Altria's fingers, and rubbed Altria's palm.

After getting the little lion, Altria's face was full of excitement and joy. She stood on tiptoe and smacked Li Xuan's mouth hard, then fiddled with the little lion.

"Well, Leah, this is the elf lion that Kuang San asked for from the Elf Forest in the Fantasy World. It's still in its juvenile form, so be careful not to kill it," Li Xuan couldn't help but say when he saw the elf lion, which was already a little dizzy in less than a minute.

Hearing that this little lion was brought from the fantasy world, Altria fiddled with the little lion for a few more times, then turned around and thanked Tokisaki Kurumi who was lying on the sofa, "Thank you, Kurumi-chan, this little lion is really majestic, I like it very much."

Tokisaki Kurumi was a little embarrassed. She saw that the Elf Lion, one of the guardian beasts of her Elf Forest, seemed to be about to faint in the hands of Altria.

"Leah, you're welcome. We are good sisters. Gifts are not as important as our relationship. However, the elf lion is still a cub, so Sakuya-chan and the others can feed it like the two little moon wolves outside," Tokisaki Kurumi reminded her good sister that the elf lion needed to be fed.

Altria immediately showed a serious expression, "That won't do. The little lion was given to me by you and Xuanjun. How can I treat it like those two little troublemakers? I want to feed it myself."

After saying that, Altria excitedly carried the little lion out of the hall.

"Will it be okay?" Erina, who had been watching, was a little worried, because she just saw Erza and Irene following with great interest. She remembered that she had to feed the little lion, and she also remembered that the Irene sisters were a group with the title of foodie girls.

"Well, it should, it should be fine. After all, it is the guardian beast of the Elf Forest. Human food should not cause much harm to it." Li Xuan was not sure and speculated based on common sense.

"Hey, why is the little lion vomiting?" More than ten minutes later, Altria's exclamation was heard.

Tokisaki Kurumi immediately stood up from the sofa and rushed out of the hall. She wanted to save the little lion.

Chapter 418: Jack the Ripper Reappears

I ignored the lively discussions outside about the little lion who vomited immediately after eating the newly improved Stargazing dish by the Irene sisters.

In the hall, Li Xuan sat down on the sofa again and listened to Asuna and the others talking about recent events, including the national tennis tournament that was about to begin at Rikkai University.

After several days of hard training, Asuna and her friends were successfully evaluated by Echizen Nanjiro as having surpassed the national level in strength without using internal energy. If they used the triple gate and domain, they would be no different from the main players in the world championship.

The finals will be held in a few days, which will also be the assessment of the tennis program of the Kyoto campus.

Asuna and her companions, who were focused on winning the assessment, agreed with Li Xuan that they would come to the final to cheer for them and witness their victory. Then they returned to their room, changed into tennis clothes, left the hall and walked towards the tennis court in the backyard. Alice was no stranger to tennis. When she was in Germany, she often practiced with the maids, so she was also invited by Asuna.

After listening to the general introduction of the Holy Grail Game, the beautiful girls in the hall began to busy themselves with their own things. At this time, Xiaolan sat over, hugged Li Xuan's arm, and lay on his shoulder.

Behind the sofa, Yuanzi stretched out her hand, covered Li Xuan's eyes, and said with a sweet giggle, "Guess which one I am. Don't use your mental power."

Li Xuan used a little force to make Xiaolan closer to him, rubbed his chin lightly on her hair a few times, then chuckled and said, "Well~, then I have to think about it carefully. This fragrance is a bit like the clever Xiaolan."

"Wrong guess, not right"

"That's the agile Xiaolan."

"Wrong, repeated"

"Oh, could it be the famous female Sherlock Holmes, Lady Sonoko?" Li Xuan knew from the feeling from the slender hand covering his eyes that the person sticking to him from behind was Sonoko, but she guessed wrong on purpose just to tease her.

The final female Sherlock Holmes made Sonoko very happy. She was involved in the case several times when she attended banquets with Li Xuan. After Li Xuan's reminder, she deduced the final murderer. For a while, it caused quite a stir in the class of Beihua High School and was even reported in the newspaper. The newspaper said that the second daughter of the Suzuki family perfectly inherited the intelligence of the Suzuki family.

"Hehe, it's the famous Lord Sonoko," Suzuki Sonoko let go of the hand that was covering Li Xuan's eyes, and instead folded her hands on Li Xuan's chest, then put her head on Li Xuan's other shoulder and rubbed it gently.

The beautiful girls in the villa who had nothing to do made plans to go shopping. The more quiet Yukinoshita Yukino and Kasumigaoka Utaha were discussing novels.

Xiaolan and Sonoko did not follow along, but stayed by Li Xuan's side.

However, when Li Xuan saw Xiaolan's slightly troubled expression, he knew that she must have something to ask him, so he lowered his head and tapped her lips, and asked gently, "Xiaolan, is there anything? Remember what I said, and remember to tell me if you have any questions."

Xiaolan's face flushed, she pursed her lips, opened her beautiful eyes, and began to speak slowly in a soft voice.

It turns out that Xiaolan's father, Kogoro Mouri, received an invitation to a case from the UK. This case is a very old case, a suspense case in the UK in the last century, Jack the Ripper.

After Xiaolan finished the introduction, Sonoko continued to talk about the stories and records about Jack the Ripper, as well as the recent reports in British daily newspapers about Jack the Ripper striking crimes again.

Originally, Xiaolan did not agree with her father going to England to investigate this kind of case, because Jack the Ripper here started committing crimes in the last century. Now he has reappeared, someone must have impersonated Jack the Ripper and borrowed his name. No matter what the reason is, it shows that he is a much more brutal murderer.

Xiaolan didn't want her father to fall into such a dangerous situation.

"That's easy. Why don't you just ask someone to reject your father's invitation?" Li Xuan thought for a moment and spoke.

If you don't want to accept this kind of cross-border invitation, just turn it down.

"It would be great if I could turn it down," Xiaolan's face showed even more confusion.

Li Xuan placed his fingers between Xiaolan's brows, gently soothing her worries, and then asked, "According to what you said, is there any change in the invitation letter?"

Xiaolan began to tell more details about the matter.

A few days ago, Kogoro Mori received an invitation letter from the London Metropolitan Police Department, inviting him to go to the UK to investigate the unsolved case of the last century, Jack the Ripper.

At that time, Kogoro Mouri just took a look and was ready to refuse. He was very clear about how many tricks he had. He could still jump around in front of Sakura, but if he really encountered such a century-old unsolved case, he would most likely be at a loss. After all, for a case to be called an unsolved case, it must have been studied by many famous detectives or police detectives, and all ended in failure before it was finally determined as an unsolved case.

When Kogoro Mouri was about to refuse, Conan, who was staying at his house and became his roommate, opened the entire envelope. Then, a very strange scene happened. The envelope turned into a puff of black smoke and attached to the arms of Conan and Kogoro Mouri, and then a scissors mark was revealed.

Kogoro Mouri was very surprised to see this situation. What was even more surprising was that he tried many methods but failed to wash off the scissors pattern on his arm.

The next day, an email was delivered to the Maori Office.

Inside was a disk, which, when read, turned out to be a video of a person hidden in the depths of darkness, with only synthesized voices coming out.

The Scissors Mark is the mark of accepting Jack the Ripper's invitation. If you cannot find Jack the Ripper and solve the unsolved case within the specified time, the Scissors Mark will take the loser's life.

After Xiaolan came back, she found the scissors mark on Kogoro Mouri's hand. She was surprised at first and wondered what game her father and Conan were playing today, because Xiaolan saw that Conan had the same mark on his hand.

Later, when they were eating, they found that Conan was covered in cold sweat and fell into a coma. Xiaolan immediately took Conan to the hospital. The results showed that Conan was in good health, but he just couldn't wake up.

Helpless, Xiaolan had to bring Conan back and prepare to try using her internal energy. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her father lying on the ground in a coma, covered in cold sweat, just like Conan.

Xiaolan tried to use internal energy to explore, but she herself had no knowledge of internal energy treatment. Finally, after Sonoko's suggestion, she asked Gurefia to invite Black Jack.

Chapter 419 Maori Kogoro's Roommate

"This is a kind of witchcraft that is popular in South America. The content of the witchcraft is in the form of a bet. Once the bet is completed, the witchcraft will be automatically lifted. According to the current situation of Mr. Maori and this little boy, this is a sign that the witchcraft will take effect. They will wake up after a while, but it is better to complete the bet because it is difficult for ordinary people to resist that kind of strange power." Black Jack has a wide range of knowledge and quickly judged the situation of Maori Kogoro and Conan based on the situation.

And the solution is given.

The first is to complete the bet and have normal contact, and the second is to break it with brute force, study the circuit of this witchcraft, and directly use internal energy to shatter the witchcraft marks in the bodies of the two people.

However, Black Jack also said that ordinary people like Kogoro Mouri and Conan might fall into the trap again if they are targeted by those strange witchcrafts.

So in the end, Xiaolan had no choice but to decide to go to England with Kogoro Mouri.

"It's quite interesting. Let's go. I'm also a little curious about this legendary criminal," Li Xuan made the decision directly. He was really curious. This Jack the Ripper, Toosaka Rin and the others had told him not long ago. They had met him when they went shopping outside with Olga Marie in the Clock Tower. He was also in the state of Wu Leakage, a form of evil spirit.

The Clock Tower has an agency that specializes in accepting commissions to deal with evil spirits. It's amazing that Jack the Ripper has been able to exist for so long. There may be some tricks involved. I'll just treat it as an opportunity to accompany Xiaolan and Sonoko to relax. As long as there is time, Li Xuan will not refuse the opportunity to enhance his relationship with his beautiful girls.

"Thank you, Xuanjun," Xiaolan saw that Li Xuan agreed, and the troubled thoughts on her face immediately disappeared. She took the initiative to express her gratitude. Only after Yuanzi teased her did she separate from Li Xuan. She gently bit Li Xuan's arm and tidied her slightly messy skirt.

Li Xuan felt a slight sour smell behind him and immediately knew the reason. He turned around and kissed Yuanzi on the lips. He let her go only when her eyes became a little blurry.

After agreeing to this matter, Li Xuan was a little curious about the Death God elementary school student. He seemed to have been living with Professor Agasa before. Xiaolan also made it clear that she didn't have time to take care of a child. Usually, she would go shopping with her sisters and date her man when she had time.

Before Xiaolan could say anything, Sonoko had already slid down from behind the sofa, twisted her body and came to Li Xuan, leaned on Li Xuan's other shoulder, and started talking about Conan, with a little gloating in her tone, "That little brat, Uncle Maori seems to have received a large sum of commission from Dr. Agasa, and then Conan became Uncle Maori's roommate."

Xiaolan had no way to deal with her father's greedy character, but he was her father after all, so she still needed to protect him. So Xiaolan said weakly, "Sonoko, my father accepted the commission from Dr. Agasa, and he said that this was also one of his detective jobs."

Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed when she said this. She had never seen a detective agency that offered services such as caring for children. Her father had also updated the database for the detective seniors.

Sonoko rolled her eyes at Xiaolan, and although she restrained her tone a little, she didn't restrain much, and continued, "I have never seen a detective with housekeeping skills. Uncle Maori is an extremely rare detective. In a way, he is really amazing."

"Xuan-kun, do you know? That kid named Conan actually wants to live in the same room with Xiaolan. The reason is that Uncle Maori often gets drunk and talks nonsense, and snores, which affects his rest. Fortunately, Xiaolan refused, otherwise Xiaolan could learn the lessons of the future Xiao Xiaolan or Xiao Xiaoxuan in advance," Sonoko said jokingly, which made Xiaolan a little embarrassed.

When Xiaolan heard Sonoko's joke, she immediately waved her hand and said, "I would definitely refuse. My room is full of personal belongings, including things given to me by Xuanjun. I don't want anyone else to enter my room. Besides, I have already cleaned up the storage room, so it would be the same even if Conan lived there."

"So, that little brat is obviously a little pervert, otherwise why would he ask to share a room with you?" Detective Sonoko came online at this time.

Hearing what Sonoko said, Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed, "Sonoko, you're thinking too much. Conan is just an elementary school kid, how could he have such thoughts? His father's reason must be partly responsible, and it may also be that Conan is still young and is afraid of being alone."

Obviously, Sonoko did not agree with Xiaolan's speculation. She snorted and continued, "That's definitely not the case. Sometimes I find that kid's eyes are looking everywhere, and most of the time his eyes are focused on you. He must be a little pervert without a doubt."

Xiaolan didn't know how to explain this because she didn't notice this. Now listening to Sonoko's talk, it seemed to be the case. When Conan first arrived at Mouri's office, she actually had the idea that Conan might not be able to turn on the shower head in the bathroom, so she prepared to give him a bath. Fortunately, she immediately thought of a way to let him take a bath with his father Mouri Kogoro.

"Okay, Sonoko, don't I already have another way to arrange it? Since it was Dad who took the commission on his own initiative, we can't ask him to give up now, right? And I see that Dad's business has obviously improved a lot recently, but Conan always likes to follow him, and I always feel it's dangerous when a child arrives at the crime scene." Xiaolan also found it strange that Conan liked to stick to Mouri Kogoro.

Sonoko curled her lips and said, "What's so strange about that? The name this pervert's parents gave him is a detective name, and didn't this pervert form a boy detective team with a few other little guys? It's normal for him to like following Uncle Mori to crime scenes everywhere."

Li Xuan listened to what the two said with a smile, but in his heart he disagreed with Xiaolan's opinion. For Conan, he would not be in danger if he went to the crime scene, but after he arrived, the people at the crime scene would be in danger. If an ordinary person was infected by the black fog of death, he would have to prepare to die.

After thinking about it, Li Xuan felt that he should remind Xiaolan to ask his father-in-law to go to the hospital for regular physical check-ups, as an overdose of anesthetics can be fatal.

After listening to Li Xuan's words, Xiaolan nodded and said, "You are right, Xuanjun, Dad should go for regular physical examinations. Smoking and drinking are harmful to the body. Now Conan is always with him, and we can't let him lead the child astray."

Chapter 420 Twelve Monarchs

The next day, in the warm morning sun, Li Xuan opened his eyes.

"Good morning, Gurefia," Li Xuan turned his gaze to the head maid who had already dressed and was waiting for him, and greeted her softly.

"Good morning, Master." With a happy smile on her face, Gurefia leaned over and gave her Master a good morning kiss.

Li Xuan smacked his lips, then lowered his head and looked at Asuna who was sleeping in his arms. The sunlight shone through her flaxen hair, reflecting a charming luster.

"Well~, good morning, Xuanjun," Asuna frowned slightly. Although Li Xuan's movements were gentle, the familiar person beside her still woke her up. She rubbed her eyes and spoke in a lazy voice.
