I really can't control myself.

Chapter 4184 Anxiety

Upon seeing this situation, Akiyama Shunsuke naturally wanted to return immediately, but he was quickly stopped by the others around him.

That's right. If Akiyama Shunsuke were to appear now, it would only cause more chaos.

It's obvious that not only would it not solve his mother's problem, it would likely cause even bigger trouble. So theoretically, not showing up now is the better solution.

Akiyama Shunsuke wasn't entirely unaware of this principle, but the problem was he couldn't accept it. Seeing his mother so anxious and disheveled in the video, he was extremely worried.

Although he knew that He Xinchangping's analysis was quite rational and should be the best solution, he couldn't be rational right now.

After all, right now it's just a lot of people harassing them. What if things get more intense later? For example, they might think they're still alive and try to force them out, so they might kidnap his mother to force him to show up.

Is such a situation possible? Of course it is.

Although it seems they're all dead now, there are bound to be some who don't believe it. If someone tries to force them out, the rewards could be enormous.

If Akiyama Shunsuke is alive, it means that others might also be alive. Especially Takaoka Yusuke, the most important figure, who possesses that kind of training method—who wouldn't covet it?

What if it doesn't work out? At most, it'll just be the death of an ordinary woman. For those forces that want to obtain the cultivation method, that's no big deal at all.

Moreover, in this world today, the death of one person is a trivial matter, hardly a big deal. Therefore, it is foreseeable that such a thing will happen, and Akiyama Shunsuke's mother is currently in considerable danger.

Akiyama Shunsuke was quite agitated precisely because he had considered all of this. If he appeared now, he would at least draw everyone's attention to him, which would actually reduce the possibility of his mother being in danger. This was the reason why he insisted on going back.

"Calm down. You're not the only one facing this problem. I'm in a similar situation to you, and I'm also enduring it," He Xinchangping advised.

This wasn't just a random statement, because his situation was indeed somewhat similar to that of Akiyama Shunsuke. After all, his parents, especially his father, were under tremendous pressure after his identity was exposed.

However, compared to Shunsuke Akiyama, his father's situation was slightly better. Because he was a member of parliament, his father had more power, so at least he wouldn't be bombarded with reporters at home for interviews. But the problem was still quite serious.

This can be seen from the text messages his father sent him.

Indeed, both Akiyama Shunsuke's mother and Kashino Shohei's father tried to contact them. Since phone calls were obviously unsuccessful, they both sent them numerous text messages.

Akiyama Shunsuke's mother mainly wanted to confirm her son's safety, while He Xin Changping's father seemed to have guessed that his son was still alive. He gave a lot of instructions and explained his current situation in detail. However, he didn't tell He Xin Changping to show himself or go back immediately, but left it to him to decide whether or not to appear.

He Xinchangping was deeply moved to feel the respect his father showed him.

Previously, he didn't have a very good relationship with his father, because his father was the kind of person who didn't express himself well and didn't seem to care much about him. The father-son relationship wasn't nonexistent, but it was quite weak.

But this time, when he actually got into trouble, He Xinchangping could feel that his father was not without feelings for him. Just like now, even though he was under a lot of pressure, his father still let him make the decision, showing that he was willing to help him resist the pressure.

He Xinchangping was in a very chaotic state of mind, which is why he yelled at Akiyama Shunsuke so loudly. It wasn't that he was angry with him; he was simply confused and didn't know what to do.

A rational analysis suggests that it's indeed better for them to remain hidden. If even one of them reveals themselves, the situation will likely deteriorate rapidly, and everyone will be in danger.

They're like children crossing the street carrying gold; everyone's watching them. If they really die, that's one thing, but if their survival is revealed, everyone will swarm them.

Even he, who always considered himself quite rational, couldn't be completely rational at this moment, let alone an ordinary person like Akiyama Shunsuke. He Xinchangping could understand what Akiyama Shunsuke meant; if he could, he would also like to be as reckless as Akiyama Shunsuke, but he couldn't do it.

"Thank goodness we're here now." Eizan Etsu, who had just arrived, breathed a sigh of relief. If they had arrived any later, some of these guys might have actually run away and self-destructed, leaving them alive. In that case, their plan would have been impossible to execute.

"Mr. Eizan?" Akiyama Shunsuke calmed down slightly when he saw Eizan Etsuya appear. After all, when Eizan Etsuya came to rescue people before, although he mainly rescued Takaoka Yūnori, he also rescued them all.

The situation was extremely dangerous for all of them; if Eizan Etsu hadn't arrived in time, they would all likely have perished there. Therefore, Eizan Etsu was essentially their savior.

Someone as naive as Akiyama Shunsuke naturally regarded Eizan Etsuya as his savior and showed him considerable respect.

“I already know the general situation.” Eizan Etsuya gestured for the others to calm down before continuing, “However, there’s a new situation you don’t know about. Please listen to me first before we discuss whether or not to show up.”

Yes, Eizan Etsu also told the others that Linton would be leaving this world tomorrow at noon. After all, they were now a very important part of the plan, and if they weren't told this, some things couldn't proceed.

Of course, the group was quite surprised to hear this news. Mainly because the information came too suddenly.

“So what you’re facing now isn’t just a question of whether you’ll live or die,” said Eizan Etsuya. “If word gets out that you’re alive, everyone will undoubtedly suffer.”

Hearing what Eizan Etsuya said, the already chaotic situation became even more chaotic. However, He Xin Changping surprisingly calmed down quickly and asked Eizan Etsuya, "You just said that Matsumoto Yoshishi has been cured? And has he turned back into a human? Did Linton do it?"
