Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

Under the cover of rain, Tokyo in the early morning was devoid of its usual glitz and bustle, becoming much more tranquil.

This weather is perfect for taking a nap.

But he didn't have the leisure or inclination for it.

He patted his face hard to shake off the lingering sleepiness, then picked up his phone and dialed a number.

After a few busy tones, the call was connected.

A slightly dazed, delicate female voice came from the other end.

Hello, who are you looking for?

Uesugi Kiyoshi gasped, coughing a few times from the cold air. He pulled his phone away, checked the number he had dialed to make sure he hadn't dialed the wrong number, and then spoke somewhat strangely.

"Ms. Yamazaki?"

"Yes, this is Uesugi Kiyoshi. Please let Yuichi answer the phone."

After a brief silence of a few seconds, Uesugi Kiyoshi heard the woman's soft gasp and the chaotic sounds of war.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled strangely and silently, without urging her to hurry. After about several tens of seconds, his friend's somewhat helpless and lazy voice came through the microphone.

"I'm saying, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation for waking me up at six in the morning, even if it's you, I'll still get angry."

These words were spoken softly and gently, without a trace of anger.

"."

“You told me this yourself last night. If I go to see Azuma Maki today, I’ll ask you to use your ability to discern people’s true intentions to help me make the right choice.”

"Young Master Kudo is quite forgetful."

Uesugi Kiyoshi started speaking in a sarcastic and unsettling tone.

"You go to someone's house for a visit, starting at six in the morning?"

"Those who know the truth will think they're visitors, but those who don't will think they're seeking revenge!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi shrugged and increased the firepower.

"I said, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

"Today is Saturday, and tomorrow is the day Dong Wenyu will hold his enthronement ceremony. We need to arrange everything today, so that tomorrow we can unsheathe our swords and go all out!"

Do you think we have a lot of time?

"Of course, I'm not an unfeeling person."

"I know that young master Kudo has been working hard day and night and has endured a lot of hardships that he should not have to bear at his age. I guess he won't be able to get up now."

"That's alright. Let Ms. Yamazaki take good care of you. I can handle it myself."

"However, as a friend, I have to give you some advice."

"Yuichi, if you act recklessly because you're young, you might regret it when you get old."

"A little taste is enough; there's plenty of time in the future."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Kudo Yuichi in a rare display of exasperation.

"Stop! Stop reading!"

"You'd better wait patiently!"

"See you downstairs at the association in fifteen minutes!"

Chapter 96 Conditions

The black minivan executed a graceful drift, splashing water everywhere, and came to a stop on the side of the road.

The car doors opened wide, and two young figures stepped out at the same time.

They all simultaneously raised their black umbrellas and surveyed their surroundings.

Kudo Yuichi had dark circles under his eyes and a sullen expression on his face. He would occasionally glare at Uesugi Kiyoshi, clearly still feeling resentful.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled ingratiatingly and didn't continue to bring up the sensitive topic, but instead started to get down to business.

"Azumi Maki is staying here now? She certainly knows how to pick a location. Adachi Ward is so chaotic, it's really difficult for Azumi Yu to come and hunt her down."

"but."

Uesugi Kiyoshi sniffed, his expression becoming slightly serious.

Seeing the change in his expression, Kudo Yuichi also straightened up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm, a strong smell of blood. Looks like things aren't so peaceful here."

"Dong Wenyu is clearly preparing for his enthronement ceremony, yet he still has time to send people to hunt down Dong Wenzhenxi? Or is it the work of his ally?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's five senses were heightened, and he easily detected the stench of blood in the air; someone had definitely died here.

Kudo Yuichi wasn't surprised. He frowned and said softly, "Given Dong Wenyu's status, he could have as many people as he wanted to do things for him. Those low-level Yakuza who dream of getting rich would be willing to die at any time for a vague promise."

"It seems that Dongwen Yu discovered Dongwen Maki's location. In that case, it's fortunate that you arrived early, otherwise they might have moved."

"But it's alright. With the intelligence capabilities of my Armed Detective Agency, as long as she's in Tokyo, I can find her hiding place."

Uesugi nodded and lowered his voice slightly.

"Yuichi, if it really is a trap set by Dong Wenjue to lure us in, do you have any good ideas?"

Kudo Yuichi smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"

“Hey, Qing, even if Dong Wenjue faked his death, he’s not young anymore.”

“He had his daughter late in life, and he must be over fifty years old this year. He is still a Linker, and in his current state, his body and mind are already at their limit.”

"He definitely lacks the ability to control the Dongwen Association, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to push his teenage daughter to the forefront."

"Then, the solution is quite simple."

"Just go and deal with Dongwen Maki. She will definitely be the second generation of Dongwen Association. This silly girl is different from her father. As far as I know, she seems to be quite emotional."

"If you can spark a romance with her, that would be even better. If you don't want to, then just get her commitment."

"Even if she changes her mind later, we'll have a reason to turn against her—Qing, the Dongwen Association is powerful, and our Collectors Association isn't made of paper either. When that happens, we'll have the opportunity to make trouble, and many things will be out of their hands!"

Kudo Yuichi's words were the same as Uesugi Kiyoshi's thoughts.

It's exhausting to wrestle with that old fox, Dong Wenjue.

Why not take a shortcut and reach an agreement directly with Azuma Maki? Uesugi Kiyoshi was quite confident about this.

This young lady from the Dongwen Association is not in a good position. He came in the name of the Collectors Association, which is definitely a timely help. Unless she is a foolish girl, she has no reason to turn away this hard-won assistance.

The two strolled one after the other to the gate of the Japanese courtyard. Just as they were about to knock, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Uesugi Kiyokazu and Higashima Maki, dressed in a wide-sleeved robe, met each other's eyes.

In just one day, the young lady of the Dongwen Association had changed a lot.

Her kimono was stained with blood, and the blade in her hand was also stained with blood. Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, and her face showed some displeasure, but her eyes were much more determined than yesterday.

"I apologize for this unannounced visit. I came in a hurry and did not bring any gifts."

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled and said some very ordinary polite words.

Behind Azuma Maki stood the demon sword Shinzumi and the pale-faced, seemingly still-wounded witch sword Kagura. Behind them was a group of swordsmen dressed in samurai attire, resembling ancient wandering swordsmen.

In the not-so-spacious courtyard, many corpses of men in short haircuts and black suits lay scattered about, still bleeding.

He looks like a member of the Yakuza.

Maki Azuma paused for a moment, then quickly composed herself.

She gave a slight bow, her expression somewhat relaxed.

"Uesugi-kun, I was thinking of contacting you today."

“Let’s talk somewhere else. It seems Dong Wenyu has discovered this place. They launched an attack early this morning, but my men repelled it.”

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Higashima Maki with amusement, giving an irrelevant answer.

"Did you kill someone?"

Maki Azuma paused for a moment, then silently nodded.

"I've cut down a few enemies, I can't just stand by and watch them slaughter my men!"

Uesugi Seiichi waved his hand, interrupting Higashima Maki's words.

"You don't need to explain to me, I'm just asking."

"And this isn't necessarily a bad thing, Miss Dongwen, it was bound to happen sooner or later."

As he spoke, Uesugi Kiyoshi stepped into the courtyard.

"There's no need for a transfer. Let's talk first."

"Don't worry, if Dong Wenyu sends more people, that's exactly what we want. With that demon swordsman behind you, an attack of this magnitude will actually weaken their strength."

"Kill as many as they come."

Without hesitation, Maki Azuma gave a brief instruction to Shinzumi and led Kiyoshi Uesugi and Yuichi Kudo inside.

indoor.

The three took their seats as host and guest, while the seemingly formidable warriors stood in two rows in the courtyard, flanking them in the center under the leadership of their leader.

It looks like a TV drama set in the Warring States period.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't mince words; his time was limited, so he got straight to the point.

"Miss Dongwen, do you have the answer to the question I asked you last time?"

Maki Azuma sat upright, her eyes lowered, making it impossible to see her expression.

She didn't remain silent for long after hearing Uesugi Kiyoshi's question.

She suddenly bowed down, her body arching into a graceful curve, her tone sincere.

"My father once asked Uesugi-kun to teach me swordsmanship, so he must have approved of Uesugi-kun's strength and character."

"I am willing to become Mr. Uesugi's disciple and perform the proper disciple's rites!"
