Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

“I haven’t lost my home, Kyoko. This is just an apartment, a place to live.”

"Home is where family is."

"We will have a bigger home soon."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's gentle gaze attracted Nohara Kyoko's attention like a magnet, stopping her sobs and causing her to lower her head with slightly reddened earlobes.

She has no opinions of her own, and her biggest wish in this life is to find a husband who treats her well, marry him, and then do laundry, cook, raise children, and be a qualified full-time housewife. Her ideal university was Tokyo Women's University, which was originally a place that specifically accepted daughters of noble families and trained high-class housewives—also known as wealthy ladies. The courses there even included a complete set of bride training.

Now, after being persuaded by Uesugi Kiyoshi, whom she admired, she felt that all her misfortunes had flown away, and her mood immediately brightened. However, she was still a little scared.

Seeing that Nohara Kyoko's emotions had stabilized considerably, Uesugi Kiyoshi turned his gaze to his junior sister, who had made a great contribution.

"Rin, is your leg alright?"

Kamiizumi Rin waved her hand dismissively.

"Hey, it's just a minor injury. I was playing hide-and-seek with Santaro and the others before, and when I fell from the fifth floor, I was much more seriously injured. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi almost couldn't resist the urge to make a sarcastic remark.

Is falling from the fifth floor considered a minor injury?

Fine.

You're strong, so you get to call the shots.

"Have you broken free of your shackles? No, that's not right. Given your physical condition when you broke free of your shackles, such a kick wouldn't have hurt you."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was somewhat puzzled.

"Ah, no, it happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to untie the shackles, I kicked with all my might."

"As a result, the power was unleashed, but the strength of my body was still sealed by the shackles, so I got injured. I'm fine, Qing, don't worry about me."

Kamiizumi Rin gave a thumbs up, grinning broadly, looking just like a hot-blooded idiot from an anime.

Uesugi Kiyoshi ultimately couldn't resist.

"You had time to consider whether to save the food or the books first, and even wanted to eat a few more bites of rice, but you didn't have time to remove a talisman, did you!"

"You better be more careful!"

Seeing Izumi Rin's still carefree smile, Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed helplessly.

He didn't want to say much. Today, in every sense of the word, he owed it all to his junior sister, who had an invincible iron fist. Otherwise, things might have gotten even worse. He and Kamiizumi Hidekawa were master and disciple, but their relationship was more like father and son. He treated Kamiizumi Rin as family. There was no need to express his gratitude verbally. He just forced a smile, promised to have Kyoko make her a midnight snack, and then gave up questioning his junior sister, who had regained her smile. He turned his attention to Higashifumi Maki.

"Miss Dongwen, please tell me what happened. That idiot Rin can't explain it clearly."

"I'd like to see who's trying to wipe out my entire family and exterminate all my relatives!"

As expected of a young lady from a prestigious family, Maki Higashiwagi quickly regained her composure and responded immediately upon hearing the question.

“Uesugi-kun, shortly after you left, there was a clanging sound and a pungent smell of gasoline coming from outside the door.”

"I felt something was wrong, so I went to check the door, and it turned out that the door seemed to have been nailed shut from the outside."

"These people poured gasoline on the door, intending to burn the house down. The fire at the door was burning very fast and too intensely to get out. At the same time, someone threw Molotov cocktails and gasoline bottles into the apartment through the windows, intending to burn us to death here."

"Luckily, Ah Lin reacted quickly and accurately, knocking the gasoline bottle away. The Molotov cocktail only ignited the balcony door. Ah Lin kicked the door and railing apart and shouted for us to jump down."

"This is what happened."

After saying that, Maki Azuma bowed solemnly.

"Uesugi-kun, these people might also be my uncle's men. I'm so sorry."

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't care about that. He had already killed the general of the Twin Demons Group and nearly a hundred men in black. He and Dong Wenyu were mortal enemies, so it wasn't surprising that they came looking for him. However, he always felt that Dong Wenyu had been using ritual practitioners to do things, and he was a little unaccustomed to him suddenly using some mortal methods.

He looked around, suppressing his anger, and asked, "Where are the arsonists? Did they all run away?"

Maki Azuma nodded somewhat apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I was so busy taking care of Kagura that I didn't have time to chase after them. Otherwise, I should have been able to capture a few people alive. Those arsonists seem to be ordinary people, not superhumans."

Uesugi nodded with a cool expression, already having a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Just as he was about to deal with the matter at hand, he heard some hurried footsteps approaching.

Turning around, I saw Kana Yamazaki leading two police officers, escorting a somewhat disheveled young man towards me.

"Uesugi-san, these people panicked and ran towards our outpost. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough officers left behind, and we only managed to catch one. He should be one of the arsonists."

"Would you like to interrogate him, or hand him over to us?"

Yamazaki Kana had witnessed everything that had just happened. She naturally knew that the Uesugi family had been set on fire and suffered heavy losses. Now that someone had been captured, she quickly sent him over to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's furrowed brows relaxed slightly. He nodded politely, but grabbed the young man by the neck and roughly pulled him over, while expressing his gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Officer Yamazaki."

"I'll do it, there's no need for you to trouble yourself."

The disheveled young man was handcuffed, but his expression was arrogant and unruly, and he kept cursing and swearing, saying very few kind words.

Without a word, Uesugi Kiyoshi slapped him across the face, making half of his face swell up and silencing all the insults he was about to say.

"Who asked you to come?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi asked a simple five-word question in an icy tone, while the hand gripping the young man's neck gradually tightened.

"Are you fucking crazy? You dare hit me? I'm going to file a complaint against you! I'm going to hire a lawyer! I'm going to hire reporters!"

"The police are beating people and abusing law-abiding citizens!"

"Just you wait, I'll sue you until you're completely ruined!"

This guy looks like a seasoned veteran; if he were an ordinary policeman, he might actually intimidate them.

Police assault coupled with media hype could certainly ruin the career prospects of a junior police officer.

Uesugi Kiyoshi had no intention of indulging his bad habits; he was in a very bad mood.

Although he said he didn't care, this was, after all, his home.

He chose the location himself, negotiated the contract with the landlord personally, and earned the rent bit by bit through hard work.

As a result, it was burned to the ground.

He cannot show anger or sadness because such emotions are easily contagious to others, and there is no need for it.

But the anger he suppressed in his heart would not be extinguished; on the contrary, it would only grow stronger.

As luck would have it, an unlucky fellow came to him to vent his anger.

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded expressionlessly and grinned.

"You won't talk, huh? You're a tough nut to crack?"

The arsonist, his face flushed, launched into a tirade of curses, uttering a long string of words that were about to be censored.

Uesugi Kiyoshi released his grip, took out his phone from his pocket, and had just lent it to Higashima Maki to make a call. Luckily, it hadn't been burned.

He turned on his camera, pointed it at the arsonist, and said coldly, "It's fine, if you don't want to talk, then don't."

"Come on, smile. Don't be angry; it's bad for your health."

The arsonist thought Uesugi Kiyoshi was intimidated by his threat, so he became even more arrogant and actually laughed, uttering profanities incessantly.

A shutter clicked, and Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at the image on his phone showing a person cursing loudly, then nodded in satisfaction.

Then, in a flash, he pressed down on the arsonist's forehead, took a horse stance, and used all his strength to make his head make intimate contact with the wall behind him.

With a muffled thud, the man's head exploded on the wall like a smashed watermelon. Red and white marks snaked across the dilapidated wall, only to be washed away by the rain, leaving behind a nauseating smell and a corpse whose voice abruptly ceased and whose body crashed to the ground.

With Suguru Kiyoshi's current strength, killing someone with a single punch wouldn't be difficult, and with the solid wall as an accomplice, it would be even easier.

He stretched out his palm and used the rainwater to rinse off the sticky blood and brain matter splattered on his hands. He smiled regretfully at the arsonist's corpse.

"See, I told you so."

"Being angry is bad for your health."

He shook his hand, turned to look at Kana Yamazaki, and said, "Throw it outside and deal with it along with those black suits. Consider them accomplices."

"I'll talk to Yuichi and make sure you don't have to make things difficult for me. Thank you, Officer Yamazaki."

"I need to trouble you with something else. They burned down my house, which may have affected other residents. I would appreciate it if you could help me with the aftermath. As for compensation, I will take care of it later."

Seeing that Kana Yamazaki nodded in agreement, Uesugi checked his phone a few times, opened Line, found Yuichi Kudo's name in his small friend list, and sent the photo he had just taken.

Then, he made a phone call directly.

A few seconds later, a familiar male voice came from the phone.

"Hey, Qing, it's rare for you to call me. What's up? We haven't been apart for long, are you already missing me?"

This was the voice of Kudo Yuichi, who had just left.

"Stop fooling around, we have serious business to discuss."

"I just sent you a photo. Can you help me find out who this person is? I think it's Dong Wenyu's person, but I'm not sure."

"Thank you for your help. They burned down my house. They gave me a peach, so I have to repay them with a plum."

"You're too kind. I'm afraid someone might try to add fuel to the fire and worsen my relationship with Dong Wenyu. You understand."

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt that this might be a scheme set up by Tou Bunkaku.

Given the deeds of this Serpent of the East, it's not impossible that he would do something like this.

Anyway, this kind of fire can't kill superhumans, so his daughter will definitely be fine. But if Xingzi gets hurt, he will definitely cut off Dong Wenyu's head to avenge her. With his personality, this is a blood feud that he can't let go of.

This inference is reasonable, but the probability is actually not high.

If Uesugi Kiyoshi finds out the truth, his hatred will not only be directed at Dong Wenyu.

He's vengeful and holds a grudge.

He will definitely retaliate against anyone who lays a hand on him.

Even the master's best friend is no exception!

Kudo Yuichi was much quicker-witted than Uesugi Kiyoshi; he immediately understood what Uesugi Kiyoshi meant, and his voice became somewhat serious.

"I understand. I'll check right away and let you know when I have the results."

Uesugi Kiyoshi hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "Where are you now?"
