"Wait! Won't people on the ground see us if we just float in the air like this?" Eriri said in a little panic. The feeling of floating in the air was very novel to her, but she was not in the mood to enjoy this fun right now.
Li Wei said, "Don't worry, we both have an optical camouflage layer on our bodies. Eriri, you can see me now, but once you're five meters away from me, no one will be able to see us. Moreover, this method can also block radar detection, so don't worry about us being exposed."
Li Wei quickly flew into the sky with Eriri, and from there, the road was clearly visible. Eriri pointed in a direction and said, "Fly along this main road. I'll remind you when you need to change direction!" "Whoosh! Let's go!" Li Wei gripped Eriri's hand tightly, and his speed increased dramatically, making everything on the ground rush past.
Eriri was experiencing the feeling of flying like a bird for the first time. Although she could breathe at high altitudes and wasn't oppressed by acceleration, the height and speed alone filled her with fear. So, she shrank into Levi's (cgch) embrace.
Under Eriri's guidance, Li Wei reached their destination, the airspace above the Sawamura family's old house, in about five minutes. The two descended and discovered the unusual situation inside the house.
At this moment, a group of men and women were kneeling in the courtyard, guarded by several burly men holding silenced rifles and wearing black hoods.
"I don't see Mom," Eriri exclaimed softly.
Li Wei has already expanded his perception domain. As his strength continues to improve, the range of his perception domain is also constantly increasing. Originally, he could only perceive a distance of about 800 meters, but now it has expanded to more than 1,000 meters. The situation inside the entire old house cannot be hidden from his perception.
In his perception, the individual who resembled Sayuri Sawamura was currently inside the old house, with her hands tied behind her back, being guarded by several armed men.
At that moment, the masked men with guns in the courtyard decisively opened fire. In an instant, the old house's courtyard became a living hell, with blood splattering everywhere, and men, women, and children all falling into pools of blood.
Eriri covered her mouth in horror, her pupils shrinking instantly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here with you. Now let's go save Auntie." Li Wei gently clenched his empty hand, and the necks of the black-clad, masked men with guns below were snapped. Their heads drooped at a very strange angle and fell limply to the ground.
This was the first time Li Wei had killed someone, but for some reason, he felt no emotional reaction whatsoever, as if he had just crushed a few ants.
Li Wei and Eriri descended from the sky, crashing through the roof of the old house and landing in the room where Sawamura Sayuri was.
The moment he landed, Li Wei used the same trick again, and all the masked men guarding Sayuri Sawamura had their necks snapped.
With her hands tied behind her back, Sawamura Sayuri lay on the ground, having resigned herself to her fate and could only helplessly await her destiny.
However, just when she was in the most despair, two figures descended from the sky, followed by a bone-crushing sound that made one's teeth ache. When she looked up, she saw her daughter leaning against a handsome stranger, while the masked men guarding her were already lying on the ground.
With a flick of Li Wei's finger, the ropes binding Sawamura Sayuri snapped. Sawamura Sayuri got up, rubbed her already red wrists, and said, "Eri, what are you doing here?"
Eriri excitedly rushed into Sayuri Sawamura's arms and said, "Mom, we came to save you. We tried calling you earlier but couldn't get through, so we rushed over here. Unfortunately, we arrived a little too late; everyone else had already fallen victim to these masked men."
Sawamura Sayuri gently stroked her daughter's soft blonde hair and said, "My phone was taken away by those people, so it's normal that I can't get through. But aren't you in Tokyo? How did you get here to save me?" Eriri broke free from Sawamura Sayuri's embrace, grabbed Li Wei's arm standing to the side, and leaned against him like a little bird, saying, "It was my darling who brought me to save you, Mom."
Sayuri Sawamura exclaimed in surprise, "It's several hundred kilometers from Tokyo to Gunma. How did you manage to get here? I roughly estimated the time; even with the phones taken away, it shouldn't have taken more than ten minutes. Did you fly here? Even if you flew, you couldn't have gotten here this fast!"
Li Wei said, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Eriri's boyfriend, Li Wei. Just like you said, we did fly here."
Sawamura Sayuri was somewhat puzzled. Although the Sawamura family owned a private helicopter, it wasn't located in Tokyo. If it were truly a helicopter, given its immense noise level, she couldn't possibly have missed the sounds outside. Li Wei said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm a cultivator currently undergoing training. We flew directly from Tokyo." Li Wei knew his secret would eventually be exposed to the girls, and since he couldn't hide it any longer, he decided to be frank.
Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Sawamura Sayuri showed a shocked expression. There are also legends of immortals circulating in Japan. The "immortal cultivator" that Li Wei mentioned is actually a version translated from Japanese into Japanese. In Japanese, it means "apprentice immortal".
The term "sage" is familiar to Japanese people. The existence of the manga "Naruto" has made the term "sage" known to the vast majority of Japanese people. However, the sage in "Naruto" and the sage in the real sense are completely different concepts.
"Eri kept refusing our help to find her a partner, so that's why. Eriri is lucky, really." Sawamura Sayuri breathed a sigh of relief; having escaped death, she now felt mentally exhausted.
Chapter 96. The Demise of the Sawamura Family
Sawamura Sayuri looked at Eriri, then at Li Wei, feeling quite satisfied. However, thinking of her family's tragic situation, she sighed and said, "Li Wei-kun, when you came, I heard gunshots outside. Are there any survivors outside?" Li Wei looked at Sawamura Sayuri's haggard appearance and felt a pang of pity, but he knew that the deception would eventually be exposed.
“None survived. But I have avenged them; none of those who attacked them survived,” Li Wei said.
"Sigh, that's all we can do. The Sawamura family is finished." Sawamura Sayuri shook her head. She and Eriri were among the few survivors of the Sawamura family. The opposing side's fishing tactics almost wiped out the entire Sawamura family. Apart from her and Eriri, only a few other Sawamura family members who were far away and hadn't returned home survived.
With its current population, the Sawamura family is practically defunct; a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has now completely declined.
"Please accept my condolences, but Auntie, you can try to think more positively. You and Eriri both escaped this crisis, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune," Li Wei said.
Sayuri Sawamura smiled wryly, "We're not safe yet. After all, fish like us who slipped through the net are always a threat to them. They'll definitely try to eliminate us completely. It's only a matter of time before trouble comes knocking again." "Then Auntie, you must have a way to deal with it, right? You're not as panicked as I expected," Li Wei said.
The three of them walked out of the house, through the corridor, and into a courtyard that resembled a slaughterhouse, where various corpses lay crookedly and haphazardly.
The stench of blood filled the air. Li Wei found himself neither repulsed nor fond of the smell. This made him somewhat relieved; while he disregarded death, he hadn't become a butcher with a passion for it.
Sawamura Sayuri knelt down and closed the eyes of each of her loved ones one by one. After a long while, she finally closed the eyes of all the corpses. Sawamura Sayuri stepped aside and said to Li Wei, "Li Wei-kun, can I trouble you with something?" "Please tell me, I'll help if it's within my power," Li Wei said.
Li Wei didn't give a definitive answer. What if Sayuri Sawamura asked him to avenge the Sawamura family? Would he accept or refuse? Li Wei didn't want to get involved in such trouble. Who knew what cards those conglomerates had up their sleeves? He wouldn't do something so risky without something that could entice him.
"Please dispose of these bodies, by any means necessary, as long as they all disappear. It's not a good thing to involve the local police in this kind of thing." Sawamura Sayuri regained her composure. Although she was just a woman, she was one of the most capable people in her family, and she had a relatively strong ability to control her emotions.
Li Wei nodded, and the spiritual energy within his body dissipated, beginning to decompose the corpses in the courtyard. Spiritual energy is a near-omnipotent power; as long as Li Wei's imagination could keep up, most functions could be realized. Playing the role of Lord Wei's corpse-dissolving powder was not difficult at all.
In just a few seconds, the courtyard was spotless; both the corpses and the weapons had vanished without a trace. Not only the corpses in the courtyard, but even those inside the house had been cleaned up.
"Eri, let's go home first. Don't go out for the next while," Sawamura Sayuri said with a serious expression.
Eriri nodded. In the current situation, safety comes first. Compared to safety, everything else can wait.
Sawamura Sayuri said to Li Wei, "Li Wei-kun, thank you so much for your timely rescue. If it weren't for you arriving in time, I'd probably be on my way to the afterlife by now. Now, I can only trouble you to see us through to the end and take us back to our manor in Tokyo." Li Wei nodded and said, "Please hold my hand tightly."
Eriri and Sayuri Sawamura grabbed Li Wei's hand, and the three of them slowly floated into the air.
When the three returned to their manor in Tokyo, it took them less than twenty minutes in total. The maids downstairs had no idea what had happened in those short twenty minutes.
Back at the manor, Sayuri Sawamura breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much for your help, Li Weijun. I really don't know how to thank you enough. The situation is tense right now, but I will definitely repay you handsomely later."
Li Wei said, "I can't be here all the time these days. I'll use my abilities to set up a defensive array here. As long as you don't leave the manor, your safety will be guaranteed. Of course, if a direct attack doesn't work, I'm afraid the other side might use poison or something similar, so it's always good to be on guard."
Sayuri Sawamura nodded and said, "I also have some ways to deal with methods like poisoning. The manor has enough food to last for three months, so there's no need to go out to buy anything for the time being. I will also tell the maids in the manor not to go out."
The three of them walked out of the room. The maids were surprised to see Sawamura Sayuri, but they didn't say anything and went about their own business.
Li Wei's perception had already scanned the entire manor. Besides the maids, there were several disguised sentries and bodyguards on duty inside. The entire manor seemed to be completely undefended, but in reality, it was secretly protected by seven professional security personnel. Ordinary dangerous individuals would find it difficult to even get close.
Besides the security personnel and the supply warehouse, Li Wei's senses also discovered a small vault underground in the manor, containing some gold and jewelry. This was likely a reserve of precious metals for Eriri's family to prepare for unforeseen circumstances. (Please give flowers.)
The gold in the underground vault was enough for Li Wei to create a defensive magic array. Li Wei discovered that gold and jade have excellent conductivity for spiritual energy, and these two materials could be used to create props and array base points.
This discovery also made Li Wei even more enthusiastic about collecting gold and jade. For him, these two things could be considered important strategic resources, and the more the better.
"Do you have any gold at home?" Li Wei asked.
“We have some reserves. What do you need the gold for, Li Weijun?” Sawamura Sayuri asked curiously.
"To create a protective array that can safeguard the entire manor, it would require approximately 500 to 700 grams of gold. Is our reserve sufficient?" Li Wei asked. He knew that the manor's gold reserves were far greater than that, but in order not to reveal his extraordinary perception, he chose to play dumb.
“Yes, please follow me.” Without hesitation, Sayuri Sawamura led Li Wei underground. Li Wei had traveled a great distance to rescue her, was Eriri's boyfriend, and possessed extraordinary power. If such a person harbored ill intentions towards her, she wouldn't be able to defend herself. Having understood the situation, Sayuri Sawamura no longer guarded against Li Wei, treating him like family.
"I can only feel at ease when the protective measures are in place." Li Wei and Eriri followed Sawamura Sayuri to the entrance of the underground vault.
Sawamura Sayuri kept turning the mechanical lock on the door. After turning the mechanism dozens of times, the password was verified correctly, and the purely mechanical door slowly opened. The vault was brightly lit, with neatly cut gold bars on the shelves, a large amount of cash piled on the floor, and a specially designated area for various jewelry.
If all the reserves in the vault were converted into cash, they would amount to at least 3 billion Japanese yen, demonstrating just how wealthy Eriri's family is.
Without wasting any words, Li Wei took two pieces of gold and began to smelt them. He then inscribed the new techniques he had been exploring over this period onto the melted and refining gold, completing the process in less than ten minutes.
Li Wei channeled half of his spiritual power into the array's base point and placed it back on the shelf where gold was stored in the vault.
"All set. The manor now has a protective shield around it. While it can't stop artillery fire and direct rocket hits, it can withstand anti-materiel sniper rifles for a while, which will buy me some time to get here," Li Wei said with a smile.
"Thank you, Li Weijun. I will repay this kindness wholeheartedly after this crisis," said Sayuri Sawamura earnestly.
Chapter 97. The Passionate Sayuri Sawamura
"This is something I should do. After all, I'm Eriri's boyfriend. I don't expect anything in return from you, Auntie. I'll be content as long as you don't stop my marriage to Eriri," Li Wei said with a smile.
Sawamura Sayuri wore a nonchalant expression, seemingly unconcerned about the matter. However, she was unaware that Levi not only had relationships with Eriri but also with three other women. Had she known this, her expression would likely be quite different.
Sawamura Sayuri held Eriri's hand and said, "Eriri also has the right to pursue her own happiness. No matter what choice she makes, I will support her."
Sawamura Sayuri also had her own plans. Although the Sawamura family was now finished, if Li Wei was willing to marry Eriri, with Li Wei's excellent genes, it was not impossible to rebuild the Sawamura family in two generations.
Of course, this was on the premise that Li Wei was willing to let one of her children change his surname to Sawamura. If Li Wei was unwilling, "950," she would not force him. Although it was a pity that the Sawamura family disappeared like this, no one could force someone like Li Wei, who possessed extraordinary power, to do something he didn't want to do.
Besides, children and grandchildren have their own destinies, and she can't be responsible for Eriri's life. As long as Eriri is happy, that's enough.
"Thank you for your understanding, Auntie." Li Wei chuckled inwardly. Sawamura Sayuri agreed so readily, but he wondered if she could maintain her smile once she found out how many girls were around him.
Unaware of the situation, Sayuri Sawamura looked at Li Wei with increasing satisfaction. Li Wei was arguably the most outstanding young man she had ever met, without exception.
If Eriri marries Li Wei, she will definitely not suffer a loss; in fact, she could even benefit her family and elevate its strength to a new level.
Sawamura Sayuri's habitual privileged mindset makes her unconsciously approach relationships from a self-interested perspective. Although she doesn't force Eriri to marry someone she doesn't like, calculating the benefits that Eriri's marriage can bring to her family has become a daily habit for her.
Such daily habits may only disappear after Eriri gets married. Of course, they may never disappear; people who are used to manipulating money and power find it difficult to stop thinking about these things.
The underground vault was not a suitable place to talk. After Li Wei finished setting up the array, Sawamura Sayuri led the two back to the surface and instructed the maid to prepare the reception room to entertain Li Wei with the highest honors.
Li Wei showed neither delight nor impatience in response to Sayuri Sawamura's attitude, dealing with her with maturity and composure.
Although Li Wei disliked the etiquette of the powerful and wealthy, Sawamura Sayuri was, after all, Eriri's mother, and even for Eriri's sake, Li Wei would not offend Sawamura Sayuri.
In the reception room, the two women exchanged blows like they were practicing Tai Chi. Sawamura Sayuri was racking her brains to dig out more information about Li Wei, while Li Wei, not wanting to reveal too much about himself, was also responding to each move. Eriri, standing to the side, was unaware that a silent "war" was brewing between Li Wei and her mother.
As it grew late, Sayuri Sawamura wisely chose to call it a day. After more than an hour of casual conversation, she had only gleaned some superficial and insignificant information; most of the mysteries surrounding Li Wei remained unsolved. However, she knew she couldn't push Li Wei too far; it was best to stop while she was ahead, lest Eriri find herself awkwardly caught between the two.
"Li Weijun, how about staying for a simple meal?" After suppressing her curiosity, Sayuri Sawamura looked like a lively female college student, making it hard to believe that she was actually a woman in her mid-thirties.
"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but I have important things to take care of tomorrow, so I need to go back early today," Li Wei said.
Eriri, sitting to the side, looked at Li Wei with expectant eyes, but upon hearing Li Wei's words, she remembered that tomorrow was Saturday, and Kasumigaoka Utaha's class reunion was tomorrow. Li Wei had already promised Kasumigaoka Utaha that he would attend, so naturally he had to go back early to prepare.
After experiencing the tragedy of the Sawamura family, Eriri matured a bit.
She said, "Mom, my dear has something important to take care of, so he can't stay for dinner tonight. But we're all family, there will be plenty of opportunities to have dinner together. If not today, we can do it another day." Sayuri Sawamura looked at Eriri with some surprise. She knew her daughter's temper very well. She originally thought that Eriri would pester Li Wei to stay, but she didn't expect that Eriri would let Li Wei leave on her own initiative.
“Alright, then let’s do it another day. Li Weijun, you’re always welcome to visit.” Sawamura Sayuri stood up and extended her hand.
Li Wei understood, and after shaking hands with Sayuri Sawamura to say goodbye, he left the manor with the maids seeing him off.
Sawamura Sayuri stood on the balcony of the third floor of the manor, watching Li Wei get into a taxi and leave. She said to Eriri, who was leaning on the balcony railing, "Li Wei is such a handsome and polite man. If it were ten years ago, I might have even competed with you, Eriri. He's much more interesting than your father."
