People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 842 Pendant
Sawamura Haruka shook off the two yakuza members who had restrained him and ran towards the stairwell, jogging up the stairs. However, he was grabbed by the person behind him the instant he touched the iron door of the rooftop.

The members of the Nishikiyama group grabbed Sawamura Haruka by the back of her collar, suspending her in mid-air.

However, before the somewhat angry members of the Jinshan group could do anything, a sudden heavy punch landed on his face, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the iron gate of the Millennium Tower rooftop.

Such force even caused the entire iron gate to dent slightly.

As Sawamura Haruka fell upwards, she was caught by Kiryu Kazuma before landing, placed on the ground, and he asked her in a low voice...
"Yao, how are you? Are you alright?"

Sawamura Haruka raised her head, her little face full of seriousness as she spoke.

"Yes, uncle, I'm fine."

Tick, tick, tick.

At this moment, Akira Nishikiyama leisurely arrived at the bottom of the stairwell.

He ignored the two subordinates who had lost their fighting ability, and instead looked up at Kiryu Kazuma, his gaze lingering briefly on the distorted iron gate behind Kiryu Kazuma, which was clearly impossible to open.

Then he said.

"Kiryu, I was originally planning to settle things with you on the rooftop."

"But it seems that the opportunity is no longer available. So, let's settle this here. If you can beat me, you can take Yao away, and I won't come looking for you again."

"How about it as the final bet?"

Akira Nishikiyama's voice reached Kazuma Kiryu's ears.

Dojima no Ryu stared down at Nishikiyama Akira. He knew that given Nishikiyama Akira's personality, once he had decided to fight him to the death, he would absolutely not change his mind at this point.

He pushed Sawamura Haruka behind him.

Kiryu Kazuma descended the steps one by one, approaching Nishikiyama Akira, who tacitly stepped back, making way for them and creating space for a fight.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides clashed again.

This conflict was more intense than the previous ones. Kiryu Kazuma ripped off his white suit jacket and threw it aside, revealing the Yinglong tattoo on his back.

The two men threw punches simultaneously, unleashing tremendous force that struck each other squarely in the face.

The immense power caused both of them to be simultaneously repelled by the other's strength.

However, Akira Nishikiyama merely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and charged at Kazuma Kiryu once again without hesitation, as if the punch he had just delivered had not caused them any harm.

Standing opposite Akira Nishikiyama, Kazuma Kiryu silently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, still looking serious and focused. Then, he also rushed towards Akira Nishikiyama.

Whether it was fists or kicks, the two former brothers used all their strength to fight against him.

The intense battle made even Sawamura Haruka, who was merely watching, feel anxious.

Although this was her first time meeting Akira Nishikiyama, she had previously asked Kazuma Kiryu who were the people he knew from his time with Aunt Sawamura, and Kazuma Kiryu had mentioned Akira Nishikiyama's name at that time.

However, she couldn't understand why Akira Nishikiyama, whom Kiryu Kazuma had mentioned as someone who knew and had a close relationship with Aunt Sawamura, would remain the same as he is now. What exactly happened?
Tick, tick, tick.

The sound of footsteps could be faintly heard from downstairs.

However, Sawamura Haruka paid no attention to the stairwell below, but instead focused entirely on the battle between the two, feeling extremely anxious.

Although she didn't know why things had turned out this way.

However, she knew that if Aunt Sawamura were still alive, she would not want this to happen, and if possible, she would like both sides to stop fighting here!
Boom————

The heavy punches clashed once more. This time, Kiryu Kazuma staggered back three steps, kneeling on one knee, finally at a disadvantage.

He raised his head and looked at his former good brother, while Nishikiyama Akira walked step by step toward Kiryu Kazuma. Just as Kiryu Kazuma was about to get up and fight again.

Sawamura Haruka's figure appeared beside Nishikiyama Akira at some point.

A hint of surprise finally appeared on Dojima no Ryu's perpetually serious expression.

He instinctively reached out to grab Sawamura Haruka, but he was too late.

Sawamura Haruka grabbed Nishikiyama Akira's arm and cried out.

"You must stop fighting. Continuing like this will only..."

"Stop getting in the way!"

Akira Nishikiyama's brow twitched, and he glanced sideways at Haruka Sawamura beside him.

Then, he abruptly pulled his hand out of Sawamura Haruka's arms.

However, because Sawamura Haruka's weight was entirely on Nishikiyama Akira's arm, when Nishikiyama Akira pulled his arm away at this moment, she lost her balance and staggered forward.

However, Haruka Sawamura did not feel the cold ground or the pain of hitting the ground.

Because Akira Nishikiyama had already caught her, his eyes still held a hint of impatience. He was about to give Sawamura Haruka a harsh scolding and tell her not to interfere with his battle with Kiryu Kazuma when he suddenly froze.

A pendant with strange patterns slipped off Sawamura Haruka's collar and hung to the ground.

This incredibly familiar pendant pocket watch was the one Sawamura Yumi wore back then. She had once said that this pendant held her most precious possession—

The pendant has now appeared on Haruka Sawamura, who is suspected to be Yumi Sawamura's daughter. Could it be that Yumi Sawamura is really dead?
He subconsciously reached out and pinched the pendant pocket watch.

Kiryu Kazuma, who had originally planned to come and snatch the person away, also stopped in his tracks.

The pocket watch was slowly opened, revealing not a clock, but a photograph.

A photo of Kazuma Kiryu.

—Just as I expected.

Akira Nishikiyama released his grip, letting the pendant fall back onto Haruka Sawamura. Haruka quickly reached out and caught the pendant, carefully hiding it once again inside her collar.

Akira Nishikiyama had anticipated this scene.

Whether it was ten years ago or now, the person Sawamura Yumi truly felt was most important to Kiryu Kazuma, not him. Even her most important pendant contained a picture of Kiryu Kazuma.

"...Kiryu Kazuma".

Akira Nishikiyama placed Haruka Sawamura aside and stood up.

He looked at Kiryu Kazuma and clenched his fist.

However, just as Akira Nishikiyama was about to engage in battle with Kazuma Kiryu once again, a voice came from the stairwell to stop them. This time, the voice came from someone that both Akira Nishikiyama and Kazuma Kiryu knew very well.

"Stop, Jinshan! Don't be so stubborn!"

Shintaro Kazama said in a serious voice.

His figure appeared in the stairwell, and standing next to Shintaro Kazama was none other than Hikaru Mugen!
