Before he could think about it, Teruhashi Kokomi laughed and said, "I really envy Busujima-senpai. Not only is she gentle and kind, but she is also a great swordsman. Her looks and figure are also top-notch beauties in our Xinghai High School. I really hope I can be like her."

For some reason, when Long Yan heard what Teruhashi Kokomi said, he always felt that if he didn't answer it well, his dinner tonight might be in trouble!

Yes, because Takuma Saito was the only one in charge of Longjing Mixiang during the day, and because Ryuhiko had just recovered from a serious illness, it was natural for Teruhashi Shinmi to take over the job of preparing dinner for the three of them, leaving Ryuhiko, a chef whose cooking skills were no less than those of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki, no chance to refute.

However, just as he was thinking about how to perfectly answer this question, as the two of them walked out of the gate of Xinghai University, a Maybach, polished to a shiny black finish, quietly drove in front of them.

Because of the previous kidnapping incident, the sudden appearance of a strange vehicle made Long Yan frown slightly, but soon his eyebrows relaxed again.

Who has nothing better to do than drive a Maybach to commit kidnapping?

Do you think the kidnapped person is not sitting comfortably enough?

Just as Long Yan was about to bypass the Maybach and continue thinking about how to avoid the "fatal question" just thrown by Teruhashi Xinmei, as the rear window of the Maybach rolled down, an old voice came from the car: "Come up and talk, cough cough cough..."

The familiar yet unfamiliar voice caused Long Yan to pause slightly in his steps.

Long Yan was very sure that this voice was one he had never heard before after he traveled through time, but for some reason, the instinctive feeling of familiarity prompted him to look back with some curiosity.

Sitting in the back seat of the Maybach was an old man in his sixties who looked not very energetic but was dressed quite elegantly.

When Long Yan's gaze touched his face, a flood of memories instantly flooded into his mind.

Jiushi Longxin, the current president of Jiulong Group and the chairman of Jiushihui, is also the biological father of the original owner Uesugi Ryuhiko.

A look of doubt flashed across Long Yan's eyes.

Honestly speaking, he didn't really want to have anything to do with the Ninth Dragon Heart. After all, no one liked to have another father above their head, not to mention that he had just fought openly and secretly with the Kowloon Ueno Society a while ago, and the fight was a fight to the death.

However, just when he was about to open his mouth to refuse, Jiushi Longxin's expression relaxed slightly, and a kind look flashed across his stern face.

Not sure if it was Long Yan's illusion, but he felt that Jiushi Longxin seemed to speak again in a "requesting" tone: "Come up and talk. Don't worry, it won't take you too long."

After hearing this, Long Yan paused for a moment, greeted Teruhashi Shinmei beside him, opened the door of the Maybach, and got in.

The back seat of the Maybach is very spacious. When Long Yan got in the car, Jiushi Longxin looked Long Yan up and down carefully as if he met Long Yan for the first time. Until Long Yan frowned in displeasure because of his stare, he withdrew his gaze and spoke softly as if he recalled something.

“I haven’t seen you for a few years, and you and Qian Chun look more and more alike.

Good, that’s great… cough cough cough…”

Jiushi Longxin's health seemed to be really not very good. After speaking just two sentences, he couldn't help but picked up the handkerchief at hand to cover his mouth and nose and started coughing.

After hearing his words, Long Yan frowned even deeper.

The Chijun mentioned by Jiu Shi Long Xin is the deceased mother of the original owner, Uesugi Chijun.

In the original owner's memory, she was a woman with brown-red hair, beautiful looks, quite quiet and reserved, as gentle and considerate as Yamato Nadeshiko.

Just as the Ninth Generation Ryushin said, Uesugi Ryuhiko inherited his mother's looks, so he has a handsome face that is no less than Ryuhiko's previous life.

What puzzled Long Yan was, is this president of Kowloon Group very idle?

It has been several years since I last saw the original owner's illegitimate son. Even during the passionate transaction with Italy, the whole process was arranged by the believer Jilong. Why did he come to me to express his sorrow now?

However, Long Yan's doubts did not last long, because Jiushi Longxin's next words gave the answer.

Jiushi Longxin picked up a brown paper bag from a seat nearby and handed it to Long Yan, motioning him to open it and take a look.

With a puzzled look on his face, Long Yan opened the brown paper bag in his hand. The first thing that caught his eye was the big words "Real Estate Registration Rights Information".

This is the Japanese property certificate. When you open it, you will see "Kamiya Katsushin-ryu Kendo Dojo" clearly written on it.

This is the dojo that Ryuhiko has in the SWORD area.

Holding the property certificate in his hand, although he already had some guesses in his mind, Long Yan still asked Jiushi Longxin: "What does this mean?"

"Ueno Ryuhei crossed the line. This is the price he paid. It's reasonable, isn't it?"

Jiushi Longxin just responded lightly and calmly, as if he didn't take the loss of "his own" Ueno Ryuhei seriously at all.

Hearing this, Long Yan curled his lips in disdain.

He didn't say anything much, nor did he say something stupid like "I want to take the dojo back with my own hands" like some other middle school protagonists. Instead, he directly accepted the property certificate in his hand.

As a successful entrepreneur in his previous life, he had no burden when it came to his face.

Not to mention that if he had not broken the trap set by Ueno Ryuhei, he would have either turned into ashes by now, or sold the dojo to Ueno Ryuhei, and then hid in some corner to survive the last year of his life.

But...

Holding the brown paper bag in his hand, a playful look flashed across Long Yan's eyes.

Ryuhei Ueno owes himself a debt, and it is not enough to pay it off just for this dojo!

Chapter 89: Unexpected "Answer"

He put the property certificate back into the brown paper bag and raised the brown paper bag in his hand towards Jiushi Longxin, as a way of thanking him for his "special" gift.

However, just as Long Yan was about to push open the door and get out of the car, Jiushi Longxin suddenly asked, "If it's just a dojo, you probably won't be satisfied, right?"

Hearing this, Long Yan's hand, which was about to touch the car door handle, paused slightly, and a look of interest flashed across his face.

As if Jiushi Longxin didn't notice the change in his expression, he just stared at Teruhashi Xinmei outside the window and continued to talk to himself: "Is this the girl? The 'reverse scale' that Ueno Ryuhei touched?"

Hearing this, Long Yan raised his eyebrows and replied softly: "Even if the person who was kidnapped was not her, I would do the same thing as long as someone around me was attacked. But you are right about one thing, Ueno Ryuhei did touch that 'reverse scale'. If you want to stop me, you'd better do it now."

This sentence is actually a test of Long Yan's Ninth Generation Dragon Heart.

Judging from the physical condition of the Ninth Generation Long Xin and the plot of Hot-Blooded Street, Long Yan could roughly guess that the old man in front of him probably didn't have much time left.

But...

Although the tiger is old, its power is still there.

He needed to try his best to find out the attitude of the Ninth Generation Dragon Heart while ensuring safety.

However, facing Long Yan's temptation, Jiushi Longxin did not choose to answer directly.

The people in this world seem to like to indulge in memories when talking to others, and Jiushi Longxin is no exception.

He spoke softly with his eyes slightly closed and his gaze full of memories.

"When did it start...

Kowloon's purpose has changed from protecting the weak to plundering everything?

You know, in the beginning, Kowloon was actually just a small organization that Kurosaki and I established to protect our family from being harmed by the yakuza... No, maybe it couldn't even be called a small organization at that time, it was just a neighborhood mutual aid association at most.

But slowly, with the participation of more and more like-minded people or those who hoped to rely on the name of Kowloon to abuse their power, Kowloon seemed to have changed overnight.

Even now, decades later, when I look back, I cannot tell when Kowloon became what it is today.

All I knew was that when I came to my senses, I had to keep going.

Because I have no other options and no escape route.”

Jiushi Longxin spoke very slowly, as if his past memories had become blurred and could only be pieced together slowly by bits and pieces.

Hearing this, Long Yan curled his lips in disapproval.

The hardest thing to understand is the human heart.

Human beings are very complex creatures. In a situation of disorderly and barbaric growth, it is easy for one person to stick to his or her original intention. It is not difficult to get ten or a hundred people to be of one mind. However, it is extremely difficult to get an extreme group of the size of the Kowloon Group to stick to one idea.

When they are together, they are a pile of shit; when they are apart, they are a sky full of stars. That's about it.

Even though Long Yan ran the thriving and rapidly growing gaming company in his previous life, he did not dare to say with confidence that everyone was united.

After all, who doesn't work to make a living?

It’s just that some people are not satisfied with just eating and drinking.

However, the fact that Jiushi Longxin could open his heart and say so much to him was actually sending out some kind of signal in disguise.

An interested look flashed across Long Yan's eyes. He looked at the old man who seemed to have aged a lot in an instant and asked softly, "So what is the purpose of you telling me so much today? In my memory, you are not such a sentimental person."

As the conversation with the Ninth Generation Dragon Heart deepened, the original owner Uesugi Ryuhiko's memory of the Ninth Generation Dragon Heart became clearer.

In the original owner's memory, although he had already known that Jiushi Longxin was his biological father, as the helmsman of Kowloon Group, Jiushi Longxin was immersed in Kowloon's business and never fulfilled his duties as a father for a single day.

Even in Uesugi Ryuhiko's childhood, some naughty children would call him "a bastard without a father".

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the original owner's mother, Uesugi Chijun, was not the legal wife of the Kyushu Ryushin.

After hearing Long Yan's words, a hint of apology flashed across Jiushi Longxin's eyes, but he quickly hid it well.

He turned his head and looked at Long Yan beside him, as if he was entrusting him with something, and spoke in a rather heavy voice.

“I don’t have much time left. One year is the limit of what I can get for you. But I have to say that after the transaction with Refreshing, you have really grown a lot.

Although I feel a little ashamed, as a father, I am very pleased!

Jiulong is no longer the Jiulong I know. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to let your brother Liu Longren take over a core organization and intervene in the battle for Jiulong's successor, but I have changed my mind now."

Hearing this, Long Yan's eyes twitched slightly.

It’s not that he felt embarrassed that an old man who was a “stranger” to him called himself “father” in front of him, but that this old man had too many illegitimate children.

In addition to the original owner, Uesugi Ryuhiko, he also had an illegitimate child with a Chinese woman, who was Liu Longren he just mentioned.

Looking at the old and frail appearance of the Ninth Generation Long Xin in front of him, Long Yan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He is as strong as Joseph Joestar...

As if he was unaware of the surprise in Long Yan's expression, or perhaps he took this surprise as a natural reaction after hearing his words, Jiushi Longxin continued.

“I’m old, and opening casinos, running Kabukicho, collecting protection money, and selling force are all outdated.

Your dessert shop named Why Milk Tea made me realize something completely.

Haha, who would have thought that a small dessert shop could raise more than 500 million yen in just two weeks with just a signboard. Even the Metropolitan Police Department and the Asahi Shimbun, one of the three major media in Japan, endorsed you either due to the situation or for the pursuit of profit.

If Kowloon cannot keep up with the times, it will eventually be eliminated by the times.

So...

If you have the ability, try to defeat Kowloon.

As the old order collapses, a new order will be quietly established.

I just hope that one day you won’t end up like me.”

Chapter 90: Teruhashi Kokomi's "Plan"

The words of the Ninth Generation Dragon Heart were far beyond Long Yan's expectations.

Originally, he thought that the Ninth Generation Dragon Heart would let him compete with Liu Longren for the job, and at most would just leave it alone and let it grow wildly.

Unexpectedly, Jiushi Longxin played a big trick and put him on the opposite side of Jiulong so simply and crudely.

For a moment, Long Yan didn't know whether to say that the Ninth Generation Dragon Heart had amazing courage or that he trusted himself too much.

Looking at Long Yan who was a little distracted, Jiushi Longxin showed a rare faint smile on his serious face: "What? Are you scared?"

afraid?

After hearing what Jiushi Longxin said, Long Yan smiled, a very bright smile, but...

If there were any employees from his company here at this moment, they would definitely feel a chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!

Because every time Long Yan showed such a brilliant smile, someone was bound to be in bad luck.

Looking at Jiushi Longxin with a hint of provocation in his eyes, Long Yan smiled softly and said, "You don't have to tell me, I have the same idea."

"Hahahahaha!

very good!very good!

Cough cough cough cough cough...

But you have to work harder, because I don’t have much time left. I hope I can see the new world you create before I leave this world!

Before that, my old bones can still delay your growth for a while!
