And these corpses...
Fortunately, Toyokawa Kiyoko's current residence is a very dilapidated empty house, with hardly any people still living there, and there are no surveillance cameras on this remote alley.
"Fortunately."
However, Nanon Uya didn't care about the surveillance cameras. If the Snake-Headed Eight Families really came knocking on his door, he would have enough time to call the ramen chef over before they did.
"Tachibana Masamune... he really is ruthless... he's truly mastered the art of Machiavellianism."
He was just about to leave when his eyes caught sight of a red card lying on the ground.
The card was originally in the guitar bag that Kotetsu carried on his back, but because he was in such a hurry to draw his sword during the battle, the pocket where the card was originally placed was torn, and the card fell out.
“Using a musical instrument bag to store weapons…good idea.”
"I'll give it a try next time."
Nan Yun Yu Yue Xin Dao.
Then he bent down and picked up the card.
The card is entirely red, and it's impossible to tell what material it's made of. But it feels incredibly heavy to the touch, much harder than I expected.
If the card hadn't fallen from the members of the Kanto branch who were surrounding and killing him, he might have even thought it was a key card for swiping an elevator door.
"This is 100% related to the Snake-Headed Eight Families."
"Keep it first."
He put the red card into his pocket, then looked at the contents of the other people's packages.
"There are also human skin masks?"
Nanon Ugetsu was somewhat surprised.
This was indeed a good way to conceal one's identity, so he happily accepted them all.
Since all four members of the Kanto branch have been wiped out, it will take them at least some time before they discover the situation here.
"First, remind Xiang's father to notice what's going on here and take Xiao Xiang away immediately."
Nan Yun Yu Yue Xin Dao.
He covered the distant empty building with the domain of 'discipline' and used the sense of pressure to wake Toyokawa Kiyoka from his coma.
"Since Toyokawa Kiyoshi graduated from Kassel College, he should have this much ability."
"Never mind... I'll wait quietly on the side. I won't go home tonight. I'll leave when everything is safe."
"Huh... why is the sky getting dark again?"
"It was already dark... Now, does this mean it's going to rain?"
At this moment, distant thunder rumbled faintly, and the already dark sky became even more pitch black, as if solidified, even obscuring the moonlight.
Nan Yun Yu Yue looked up at the sky, lost in thought.
Chapter 121 Let's send her to Kassel College (5k)
pain!
it hurts!
Head hurts!
Toyokawa Kiyoko felt as if his mind had exploded, as if something had slammed his head hard, waking him from his unconsciousness.
"Did I... just faint?"
He got up from the ground and looked around.
There were all sorts of bottles of liquor around him, including baijiu and beer, but he had already drunk most of them clean.
"Ugh……"
Kiyoshi Toyokawa sighed.
His memory was still of the last time he saw Xiao Xiang come looking for him.
"She came with her classmates..."
"I never expected my daughter to come here to find me."
Kiyoshi Toyokawa was somewhat moved.
After all, the reason he said those things to Toyokawa Shoko was to ensure that Shoko could have a better life in the Toyokawa family in the future, and to keep her away from the current undercurrents of conflict.
After all, he still believed that even if his father-in-law, Toyokawa Sadaharu, disapproved of him, Toyokawa Shoko was the only person with the Toyokawa family bloodline, and he would never dare to do anything to her.
The thought that his daughter had given up her comfortable life in the family to come find him filled him with surprise and deep emotion.
"I will never have the chance to see my daughter perform again."
"Sigh... I broke my promise."
This was his daughter's first time performing on stage. Beforehand, Toyokawa Shoko had specifically invited him, her father, and told him not to be late.
But I never expected that in the end, I wouldn't even be able to go.
Moreover... given his current state, some people will definitely not let him off the hook.
It's highly likely that from now on, he will never have the chance to see his daughter perform on stage again.
"The Eight Hebi-ke...Kanto Branch...Toyokawa Group..."
Toyokawa Kiyoko murmured.
"I never imagined that the connection between you two was so deep. I've been a group manager for so many years, and I only found out about this now."
He wanted to think about the things kept in the most secret, bottommost floors of Origin Heavy Industries.
The thought that the investment he had recently spearheaded was related to this sent chills down his spine.
"This is supposed to be considered biomedicine... What on earth are some people from the Snake Clan doing?"
Kiyoshi Toyokawa shifted his body slightly, and the pain returned.
He gasped in shock.
"Grass!"
Around noon today, he engaged in a fierce battle with Akechi Asuya, the head of the Kanto branch, in the basement of the Genji Heavy Industries.
Originally, Toyokawa Kiyokazu's Word of Power was 'Moment', and given that he was already one of the top students at Kassel College,
In terms of pure strength, he is by no means inferior to his junior, Asuya.
However, after all, Toyokawa Kiyotaka had not experienced such bloody battles for many years, and compared to Asuya, who had always led the Kanto branch in life-and-death struggles, his fighting spirit had weakened considerably.
Moreover... he was going to Genji Heavy Industries to discuss business, and he only brought a briefcase with him.
So when he realized something was wrong, he didn't have a suitable weapon at all, so he could only fight Asuya with the shards in his hand.
"They really went all out... these young people nowadays."
Toyokawa Kiyotaka picked up a half-empty bottle of liquor, took another swig, and used the alcohol to relieve his pain.
“H——”
Once the Yuan family's heavy industry had descended to the last floor, they were already caught in a tight trap.
He survived because, on the one hand, Akechi Asuya did not really want to kill him, and on the other hand, because of the patriarch Tachibana Masamune's 'forgiveness' in the end.
"After all, Qinggao has rendered meritorious service to the family in the past. Let's wipe the slate clean today."
"But he could never return to his family again."
These words were not spoken to him personally by Tachibana Masamune, since he had already been expelled from the family at that time and had no right to see the patriarch again.
However, during his battle with Akechi Asuya, when he thought he was about to perish, Asuya suddenly stopped and relayed these words to him.
And so... Toyokawa Kiyotaka survived.
However, he still suffered serious injuries.
What should we do next?
Toyokawa Kiyoshi thought to himself silently.
He doesn't have much savings right now. His original bank card has been seized by the bank through the Fengchuan Group, so he can't transfer a single penny out of it.
Fortunately... he still has this.
Toyokawa Kiyotaka pulled a black and gold card from his pocket. The card had a half-decayed World Tree mark on it.
"I never imagined that after all these years, I'd still have to rely on the school's credit card to afford alcohol..."
He smiled to himself.
This card serves as both a student ID for Kassel College and a credit card issued by Citibank. For A-class mixed-race individuals like him, the credit limit can reach up to $8.
Even though he graduated many years ago, this card still has these privileges, but he has never used them before.
“Principal Angers…”
Toyokawa Kiyoko naturally knew who had the authority to keep the student card in effect.
For most students graduating from Kassel College, their student cards are deactivated after graduation.
If a student chooses to stay on as a teacher, they will receive a teacher's card, which is issued to faculty and staff. If they join the Executive Department, they will receive a corresponding Executive Bureau agent card.
However, Toyokawa Kiyoko is an exception; he neither stayed at the school nor joined the Executive Bureau, so the card has remained in his possession.
"With this card, we can get by for a while longer."
He calculated the credit limit on the card.
"But... a credit card is still a credit card, and it's not the same as the money in a debit card..."
Splatter—
Kiyotaka Toyokawa opened the door to the room where he slept and went out.
To his surprise, the outside was much cleaner than before. When he first arrived at the house, he not only didn't tidy up, but he also drank a lot of alcohol, making the place even more messy.
But now, it seems that someone has already wiped the ground clean, and the broken glass shards that were originally on the ground have been cleaned up.
"Xiao Xiang..."
Toyokawa Kiyoshi felt guilty.
Because of his past experiences, he was deeply unwilling to let his daughter participate in the struggle between mixed-race individuals.
He even argued with his father-in-law about this.
Fortunately, his wife, Mizuho Toyokawa, strongly supported him at the time, and the two of them were finally able to send Shoko Toyokawa to Tsukinomori School.
But now... my daughter has been dragged into this.
"The Toyokawa family..."
Toyokawa Kiyoshi was in a low mood.
Is it possible that my past decisions were just wishful thinking?
As the only person of this generation with the blood of the Toyokawa family, it's only a matter of time before Toyokawa Shoko is affected by the mixed-race disputes if she takes over the Toyokawa Group in the future.
Perhaps... it was a mistake to prevent her from accessing the family's secrets in the past.
But when Toyokawa Kiyoshi recounted his past experiences, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
If his wife Mizuho were still alive, Toyokawa Sadaharu would never have been in such a hurry to expel him from the family.
If his old friends were still alive, the situation would definitely not be so passive now.
Meanwhile, in another room, Toyokawa Shoko was fast asleep.
"If all else fails..."
As Toyokawa Kiyoshi was pondering a solution, he suddenly coughed twice.
"Cough cough."
He felt as if he were being pulled by something, as if some being was reminding him of something.
This feeling was somewhat like a warning before danger was about to strike, causing his heart to involuntarily tighten.
