Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

He stood before the building, his eyes filled with pride.

"Please, Uesugi-kun."

"This is the Tokyo headquarters of the Collectors Association, which I established single-handedly."

Uesugi Kiyoshi picked up an umbrella, got out of the car, opened the car door for Nohara Kyoko and Izumi Rin, and gentlemanly held the umbrella over them, his gaze naturally falling on the building in front of him.

This is an ordinary-looking office building. There are countless office buildings like this in Tokyo, and it doesn't stand out at all.

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked around and made a basic assessment of his location.

This is Taitung District.

One of the 23 wards of Tokyo, it was formed by the merger of the former Ueno Ward and Asakusa Ward. It is bordered by Arakawa Ward to the north, Chuo Ward to the south, and Bunkyo Ward, a thriving education center, to the west. Overall, it is located in the center of Tokyo.

The location of this office building is also quite good.

Ueno Park is visible in the distance to the north, and the area is surrounded by the University of Tokyo and Senso-ji Temple to the east and west. A short walk to the south leads to Akihabara. Owning a building in this area is quite a feat, as real estate prices in Tokyo are exceptionally high.

"Not a bad location, Akutagawa-san. Is the headquarters located here so that you can use this place as a center to extend your influence to every area of ​​Tokyo?"

Ryunosuke Akutagawa nodded and smiled, "I did have that consideration, but it's not entirely for that reason."

"I'll explain the specifics later. Let's go inside and talk about it first."

Uesugi Kiyoshi readily agreed and led the two girls behind Akutagawa Ryunosuke into the unremarkable office building.

There were several security guards standing guard at the entrance. Uesugi glanced at them and noticed that their demeanor was unlike that of ordinary people. They must be elites who had received formal military training, probably field agents or something similar.

As they walked into the elevator, Uesugi Kiyoshi spotted a familiar face.

Kudo Yuichi had changed into casual clothes and was leaning against the wall, listlessly playing on his phone, as if waiting for someone.

Hearing the door open, he looked up and gave a warm smile.

"Yo, here we come."

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded in acknowledgment, and the two exchanged greetings.

After the two finished interacting, Ryunosuke Akutagawa went up to them and started a conversation.

"Great detective, you've come at the perfect time."

"I'll leave Uesugi-kun to you to take care of me. I'll go prepare the formalities and also get the key from that scoundrel."

Kudo Yuichi waved his hand dismissively.

"Okay, hurry back. I have limited time and don't want to waste it here."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa didn't seem to mind being rebuked by Yuichi Kudo, as if he was used to being treated this way. He smiled apologetically at Kiyoshi Uesugi and turned to walk out of the building.

Uesugi Kiyoshi had no objections; as a guest, he naturally followed the host's lead.

Moreover, compared to Ryunosuke Akutagawa, his friend Yuichi Kudo was more trustworthy to him.

Kudo Yuichi put down his phone and straightened up after Akutagawa Ryunosuke's figure disappeared into the rain.

"Qing, let these two lovely ladies rest on the eighth floor first. It's a converted studio apartment with a bathroom, dining room, and bedroom. I had the maid clean out a few rooms there. You can pick them up after we've finished talking."

Kazumi Rin hopped along on one leg, her large breasts bouncing up and down as she walked, which made Uesugi Kiyoshi feel helpless, but he couldn't say anything to her. He could only signal Nohara Kyoko to help her up so that she wouldn't be so embarrassed in front of everyone.

Having listened to Yuichi Kudo's advice, he thought about it and felt that with Rin Uezumi's strength, even with a limp, nothing bad would happen. This was the headquarters of the Collectors Association, so there shouldn't be any danger. He nodded and turned to ask the two girls for their opinions.

When Kazumi Rin heard the word "restaurant," her eyes lit up. She hadn't eaten enough that night, so she nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice. Nohara Kyoko, on the other hand, was completely obedient to Uesugi Kiyoshi and did whatever he said without any objection.

"Kyoko, please take good care of Rin for me. Don't leave her side. I'll come and meet up with you in a bit."

So, following Uesugi Kiyoshi's instructions, the two girls entered the elevator first.

As the elevator doors closed, Uesugi Kiyoshi and Kudo Yuichi exchanged a glance. Kudo Yuichi didn't say anything, and casually tossed his phone to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi caught the phone precisely, swiped the screen, dragged it up and down a few times, and then fixed his gaze on it.

"Your efficiency always surprises me."

Uesugi Kiyoshi said this with a sigh.

On the phone screen was the face of a somewhat frivolous young man. Shan Qing was extremely familiar with this face; half an hour earlier, he had smashed the man's head in.

It was the arsonist who burned down his house.

Below the photo is detailed information.

"."

"That's it"

"Yuan Hui?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi muttered to himself thoughtfully as he handed the phone back to Kudo Yuichi.

"Yes, the people who burned down your house were from the Yuan Society."

"One of the nine dragons of the Kowloon Group, the Yuanhui of Yuanlonghai."

"Yuan Longhai is a notorious hitman in Tokyo. Countless important figures, including political figures, tycoon heads, and yakuza leaders, have died at the hands of his Yuan Gang."

"He has many methods: long-range sniping, shooting, arson, poisoning, and assassination raids—when it comes to killing, he is one of the most professional in Tokyo."

"You killed his only brother, and he colluded with Dong Wenyu. It's not surprising that he would send people to destroy your home and wipe out your family."

"If there hadn't been so many police officers around, they might have been the gunmen."

Kudo Yuichi explained for a few minutes, and Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded expressionlessly.

"I understand, thank you."

Arriving at the elevator in the middle of the elevator lobby, Kudo Yuichi pressed a few numbers on the keypad next to him. A few seconds later, a mechanical grinding sound rang out, and a small, exquisite camera appeared above the keypad. It scanned Kudo Yuichi's pupils a few times before emitting a synthesized electronic voice.

"Verification successful. Welcome back, Level IV privilege holder [Detective]."

Accompanied by an electronic synthesized voice, the elevator doors opened, and at Kudo Yuichi's prompting, the two stepped into the elevator together.

Kudo Yuichi pressed the button for the ninth basement level—Uesugi Kiyoshi had glanced at it when he was sending Nohara Kyoko and Izumi Rin into the elevator, and that elevator didn't have a button for the basement level.

Above ground are normal office buildings, but underground is the headquarters of the Collectors Association.

Uesugi Kiyoshi instantly understood the layout of the place; indeed, some things were safer to be placed underground.

"Yuichi, are you sure this was planned by the Genkai? Could it be related to Dong Wenjue?" Uesugi Kiyoshi asked, frowning.

"Yes, I know what you mean, but I think it's unlikely."

“I’ve found out. These people were given orders to deal with you on short notice. They’re not even considered elites of the Source Society. They’re just small fry and cannon fodder that Source Dragon Sea temporarily gathered in the Wild River District. You should have noticed by now that they’re just petty thugs.”

“If this was Dong Wenjue’s arrangement, the situation would definitely be much more dangerous than it was then.”

"He could easily go too far, like causing something to happen to your apricot jam. Given your personality, you'd probably be determined to wipe out the Dongwen Society and the Yuan Society to avenge her, right?"

"It's not too difficult for Dong Wenjue to do it discreetly so that no one can find out anything."

"To do it so lightly is a bit like gilding the lily."

"It would alert the enemy without being lethal enough. Doing something so unnecessary is not like him."

"This is my personal opinion."

Uesugi Kiyoshi somewhat agreed with this viewpoint. If Kudo Yuichi's information was correct, then this matter did indeed seem to have nothing to do with Higashi Bunkaku.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's just make sure I don't come to the wrong person."

Kudo Yuichi, seeing Uesugi Kiyoshi's somewhat frightened expression, nudged his shoulder with interest.

"Qing, what do you plan to do?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi slightly curved the corners of his mouth, and a dangerous smile that sent chills down one's spine appeared on his face.

"What else can we do but fight fire with fire?"

“He burned down my house and tried to kill my relatives and friends, so I will repay him a hundredfold.”

"Yuichi, if I remember correctly, the sniper I killed, Yuan Longsen, was Yuan Longhai's younger brother?"

Kudo Yuichi nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Siblings, my own brother."

With a slight tremor, the elevator came to a stop.

Uesugi Kiyoshi slightly raised his eyes, his gaze gleaming with a sinister light.

"His body has been recovered by your agents, hasn't it?"

"Lend it to me."

"I'll go give it to Lord Yuan Longhai."

"Here's a big gift!"

P.S. I have something to do today, so only one update. I'll make up for it tomorrow.

Chapter 83 Conference Room

For such a trivial matter, Kudo Yuichi didn't even ask why, and casually nodded in agreement.

The elevator doors slowly slid open to both sides, and the two arrived at the ninth basement level.

It should be past 7 p.m. now, but the underground area is brightly lit.

The first thing that caught Uesugi Kiyoshi's eye was a corridor nearly a hundred meters long. The corridor was spotless and brightly clean, and the entire floor was a huge mirror that seemed to be one piece. When Uesugi Kiyoshi stepped on it, he could clearly see his reflection in it.

Well, it doesn't seem like anything special now. I don't know what kind of advanced technology this mirror uses, but although it can reflect people's images, it doesn't reflect light, making the room less glaring.

But if someone were to walk down this corridor in complete darkness, they would probably be terrified by the ghostly reflections in the mirrors.

Kudo Yuichi noticed that Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed quite interested in this "floor." He led the way, pointed to the mirror under his feet, and explained, "This is a super-large Mirror of Inheritance. Of course, it's a remnant of something that has been used. This thing is a valuable item that Akutagawa requested from headquarters. It can resist the invasion of supernatural forces to a certain extent. Our base is underground, so it's not realistic for enemies to attack directly from the surface, but it's not easy to defend against attacks directly from underground. With this, the base will be much safer."

"You should know about the Mirror of Inheritance, right? It's a necessary material for Linkers to awaken their extraordinary abilities. Eighty percent of the Mirrors of Inheritance exist in the form of mirrors. Even if someone possesses the Mirror of Inheritance, if they are not compatible with the heroic spirit within it, they can only use it as an ordinary mirror. However, a qualified Linker will see the corresponding heroic spirit reflected in the Mirror of Inheritance. The higher the compatibility, the clearer the image."

Kudo Yuichi gave a brief explanation and then pointed to the evenly spaced and symmetrical doors in the corridor.

"These are all defensive fortifications."

"Well, you can understand it that way."

"The ninth floor is the lowest and most important floor of the base. The conference room, the sealed chamber, and the Shosoin are all on the ninth floor."
