“What’s the ratio?”

Akutagawa Ryunosuke immediately understood and answered quickly.

"Investigators get 10 percent, collectors get 20 percent, and if it's you, I'll give you 30 percent."

"I am in charge of the association's accounts, so what I say is what it is."

"."

"Thirty percent of thirty million."

Uesugi Kiyoshi touched his chin, suddenly stood up from the wheelchair, snatched the folder from Akutagawa Ryunosuke's hand, and began to flip through it.

Here is some information provided by the government, as well as Ryunosuke Akutagawa's brief investigation results.

"That's right."

"You suspect that some followers of ghosts and gods are preparing a ritual, and this rain is a sign?"

“It’s not without reason.”

"Okay, leave the things here and go back."

"I'll just take care of it for you. Hey, I've been idle for so long that I'm almost rusty. It's good to stretch my muscles."

When Akutagawa Ryunosuke heard that Uesugi Kiyoshi had softened his tone, he was not very happy, but felt a little frustrated.

As the president of the Tokyo Collectibles Association, his identity as the next head of the Akutagawa family is not as valuable as a few million yen?

It's too bullying!!

Chapter 156 Ueno Family

Perhaps as a result of special training by the sharp-tongued Kudo Yuichi, Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not struggle for long.

"Hey, I say, you are different now than before. You don't have to care so much about money!"

"Didn't that young lady give you half of the profits from the Dongwen Club? You are considered one of the wealthy class in Tokyo, right?"

He still complained.

Uesugi Kiyoshi rolled his eyes and pushed the wheelchair towards Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

"You have never been poor. As a young master from a wealthy family, how can you understand the sufferings of the world?"

“Have you ever experienced the feeling of being hungry?”

"I'll return this thing to you. You don't need it anymore. I won't attack Shanxin Jilong in the short term, so there's no need to pretend to be disabled."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke took the ultra-modern wheelchair that looked like it could be transformed into an Autobot and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, okay, as long as you are willing to take this job."

"You now have the official authority of a collector. In addition to those investigators, you can use any subordinate members of the Collectibles Association at will. You don't need to inform me. If you need anything, just let Ueno contact you directly."

"He has served the Akutagawa family for his entire life. He has sufficient experience and strong abilities. He will take care of those trivial matters for you."

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded in agreement.

Ueno Sanishi was sent to take care of him for five or six days. He was indeed very considerate and allowed him to experience the life of a young master with a butler to serve him.

I have to say, it’s pretty cool.

"Okay, then I will work with Ueno-senpai on this mission."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Uesugi Kiyoshi agreed readily.

Although this unusual rainstorm has not caused any casualties so far, it is like a dark cloud weighing on his heart - he always feels that there is something strange about this rain.

Those Yin-Yang masters who put the blame on ghosts and gods may have hit the mark in an unintended way.

"Uesugi-kun, Ueno is old and his strength is not outstanding. If a fight occurs, you should take good care of him. His old bones cannot withstand injuries."

After hearing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi stared at Akutagawa Ryunosuke with great interest, and exclaimed in amazement.

"Can't you see, Akutagawa, that you are such a considerate person to your subordinates?"

"You clearly wanted to recruit me in the first place, but you also tried to intimidate me first. I thought you were a selfish and heartless capitalist."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke held his forehead and sighed, without any intention of making excuses, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

"A heartless capitalist? I don't deny that, Uesugi-kun. I won't say anything high-sounding to you. I am a very utilitarian person. People with talent and background are highly regarded by me, such as you and Kudo. Incompetent people are worse than grass in my eyes."

"I'm not a good person."

"But Ueno is different."

"Uesugi-kun, the Ueno family, all lived for the Akutagawa family, and died for the Akutagawa family."

"Ueno is in his fifties this year. His wife died early, and he raised his son alone. Seeing him get married and have children, he should have had a good old age."

"But when I contacted the headquarters of the Collectibles Association and prepared to establish a branch of the Collectibles Association in Tokyo under the name of the Akutagawa family, he asked his son to help me. Mr. Ueno is indeed a talent. He managed the task force and agents in an orderly manner."

“He played an indispensable role in establishing the Tokyo Collectors Association.”

Akutagawa Ryunosuke clenched his fists suddenly, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

"As a result, during an operation to contain the ghosts and gods, due to my mistake, I did not discover that his son was bewitched by the ghosts and gods and fell into depravity."

"A few days later, his son had a strange change at home. He was taken over by a ghost and killed his wife by mistake. He was finally killed by the investigators who arrived."

"After that day, Ueno became silent and rarely smiled."

A very rare expression of sadness appeared on Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face, which surprised Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"He didn't blame me and even comforted me, but I felt guilty."

"When Ueno handed his son to me and said he would be loyal to the Akutagawa family and me, I patted my chest and promised that I would ensure his safety."

"I broke my promise."

"Ueno said nothing and took over his son's job. He continued to manage the affairs of the Collectibles Association for me. As an investigator, he personally fought against demons and gods and became my right-hand man. At the beginning, the headquarters sent a lot of investigators to take power from me, but we worked together to suppress them all."

"Now that I'm strong enough, it's time for him to have a rest, so I let him follow you."

"You also said that I don't look like a good person. Maybe the more a person lacks something, the more they like it."

"Uesugi-kun, among all the people I have ever met, the one who can best be described as a good person is Ueno."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's eyes were deep and he was lost in memories.

"Ueno's son left him a granddaughter, and now the two of them depend on each other for survival."

"I appreciate the loyalty of the Ueno family and pay him a salary that is based on the standard of a collector, but he still lives in poverty. He lives in Arakawa because the rent is cheap there, and he takes the train to and from get off work every day, saving every fare."

"He used all the money he saved to open an orphanage in Tokyo. I helped him with the relevant formalities. He provided free assistance to those children who had lost their loved ones in the disasters caused by demons and gods and were left homeless."

"He said his granddaughter lost her parents and him."

"But who can those children who have lost all their loved ones due to the rampage of demons and gods rely on?"

"Just let me do what I can."

"Those are his exact words."

"I wanted to support him financially, but when the amount was too large, he refused to accept it. He was very stubborn and insisted on not accepting rewards without merit. I couldn't do anything about it."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke took a deep breath, took a step back, and bowed formally.

"Uesugi-kun, Ueno is old, but he doesn't want to leave the Collectors Association and doesn't want to retire. He is very determined to say that as long as he is alive, he will fight to the end against the ghosts and gods who took his son's life."

"I couldn't persuade him, so I thought of a compromise and asked him to follow you."

"You are strong and can ensure his safety. Your beliefs are also consistent with his - to kill all the evil spirits in the world. This is also his long-cherished wish."

"Uesugi-kun, I'm leaving my retainer in your care. Please help me take good care of him!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long while, he raised his head and smiled.

Pushing open the door, he called out through the rain to the silver-haired Ueno Mitsuishi who was sitting in the driver's seat of a car not far away.

"Ueno-senpai, Akutagawa found a job for me. You will accompany me to do it tomorrow."

"The reward for this mission is very generous. After the task is completed, I will give you half. How about it?"

When Ueno Sanishi heard Uesugi Kiyoshi calling him, he thought he was being told something, so he quickly got out of the car with an umbrella. When he heard the words clearly, he was a little surprised and responded, "Uesugi-kun - it's against the rules for me to share your reward."

Before he finished speaking, he met Uesugi Kiyoshi's clear eyes, then looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke who had a faint smile on his face, and seemed to understand something.

After hesitating a few times, the elderly swordsman did not refuse, but bowed deeply.

"Yes, I understand. I will do it well."

Uesugi Kiyoshi chuckled and waved his hand.

"Okay, Ueno-senpai, you go back today. I'll take Akutagawa's ride back to the association. Spend more time with your granddaughter. We may be very busy starting tomorrow."

After a while, Uesugi Kiyoshi returned to the Hyakumonkan, stretched, and patted Akutagawa Ryunosuke on the shoulder.

"It's rare that you're so sentimental."

"Don't worry, good people should have a good ending."

"As long as I'm here, nothing will happen."

Chapter 157 Arakawa

On the night when Touwen Maki completely took control of the Touwen Society, the demon soul of Youdaoji had quietly returned to its place.

On the scroll of a hundred demons, the figure of the girl dancing wildly with a demon sword in hand has gradually become clear.

After capturing Shuten-doji's demon soul, the number of will-o'-the-wisp fires formed by the mirage had reached six next to Uesugi Kiyoshi's portrait.

This means that he can use "Heart Sword Dance" twice, and if necessary, he can also use Inugami's real body as a trump card. The huge body of the god that is like a humanoid Gundam can confront Tosho-shin head-on. He is not afraid of ordinary monsters and demons at all.

Now, his self-confidence is much stronger than before.

After putting away the briefcase containing the investigation materials, Uesugi Kiyoshi sent Ueno Mitsuishi back to rest, and then naturally took Akutagawa Ryunosuke's car to go to the Collection Association first.

Since he has to go to work tomorrow, he needs to carefully sort out the gains from the last battle tonight.

Although he had studied the altar and divine body, the steps to becoming a god, for several days, he had not discovered its specific use. He planned to go back and try again.

By the way, after devouring the soul of Shuten Douji, he has opened the "Scroll of the Demon King Shuten" and the "Scroll of the Demon Sword". What he lacks now is a huge amount of mirage energy to light them up.
