"I heard that Uesugi-kun was busy all day and probably didn't have time to eat. I just made some snacks. Would you like to try some?"

Even though she was used to Kiyoshi Uesugi's presence, Nohara Anko would still blush slightly when talking to Kiyoshi Uesugi, making her look even more charming. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Kiyoshi Uesugi's face, and almost buried her head in her supermodel-like pair of breasts.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xingzi. I'm a little hungry - come and sit down."

He moved a little and moved to the side.

Kudo Yuichi originally wanted to make a joke, but suddenly a phone call came in. He looked at the caller ID, curled his lips, and turned around to answer the phone.

Nohara Anzi obediently sat down next to Uesugi Kiyoshi and opened the food box in her hand naturally.

A sweet smell hits your nose. The food box is divided into two halves, one half is snow-white mochi, and the other half is brown yokan.

They were all common snacks. As soon as Uesugi Kiyoshi smelled them, he knew that they were made by Nohara Anko herself. This little white rabbit's biggest hobby was to study cooking. She held her chin with her hand and smiled softly. When she watched him eat the food she made, she would smile brightly, which made Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart beat.

Feeding Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed to bring her a great sense of accomplishment.

After getting familiar with Rin Kamiizumi, Kiyoshi Uesugi discovered that Anko Nohara was also very enthusiastic about feeding Rin Kamiizumi. He couldn't help but wonder if Anko Nohara was born to like feeding Rin.

Anyway, now Rin Kamiizumi is extremely affectionate with Nohara Anko. She follows the little white rabbit Nohara every day and often gets fed with various things. She enjoys it very much.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was not being polite just now, he was really a little hungry. Somehow, his appetite had increased a lot recently. He had been busy all day and didn't feel it when he had something to do, but now his stomach was cramping, which made him frown slightly.

He casually picked up a piece of yokan and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, the salty and sweet taste of the red bean paste spread between his lips and tongue, making him feel a lot calmer.

Human beings' desire for high-calorie foods such as sugar and fat is engraved in their bones. This comes from the natural selection in ancient hunting times where people would die without food, and few people can avoid it.

Just as Uesugi Kiyoshi was enjoying his tea in a comfortable manner, Nohara Anko was staring at the person she loved in a trance, and a picture with some beautiful atmosphere was about to unfold, Kudo Yuichi came to disrupt the situation as expected.

He hung up the phone, walked over, pinched a piece of mochi and stuffed it into his mouth with a smile, then gave Nohara Anko a thumbs up in amazement.

Kudo Yuichi and Nohara Anko have met frequently these days. She knows that this is Uesugi Kiyoshi's best friend, so she just smiled shyly and didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and secretly glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi's profile from time to time, with a satisfied look on her face.

Uesugi glanced at Kudo Yuichi, swallowed the snack in his mouth, and seemed to realize something. He asked calmly, "What's wrong? Who's calling? Is there an accident?"

Kudo Yuichi shook his head.

"It's not an accident, the fish has taken the bait~"

"I deliberately kept the remnants of the Source Society, but the guy from the Yamamoto family was really stupid enough to get close to them. He already had some connections with the Source Society, but now he's trying to make use of them and not letting go of any surplus value."

"I monitored their phone calls. He reached an agreement with the remnants of the Yuan Society and wanted to deal with you and me."

Although Uesugi Kiyoshi tried his best to endure it, a sneer of disdain still appeared on his face.

He quoted a sentence from the diary that he agreed with.

"He won't listen to the barking of his defeated opponent."

Seeing his expression, Kudo Yuichi's expression became more serious, which was rare for him.

"Hey, there's another young master in the Genkai, the only son of Gen Ryukai. He's been practicing swordsmanship in Kyoto since he was a child. He's probably in his twenties, in his prime. It's said that he's quite powerful. He'll probably be in Tokyo tomorrow, probably to avenge his father."

"I'll set a trap to lure them out. Can you do it? Otherwise, we'll both fall into his hands!"

These words, which were half provocation and half joke, did not move Uesugi Kiyoshi.

He pinched another piece of yokan and put it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. He looked at the rain outside the window, and a cold light flashed by.

"Swordsman?"

"Let him come."

"It's all over if I don't chop him off."

Chapter 181 The Power Behind

Uesugi Kiyoshi was full of confidence when he said this, and a rare arrogance appeared on his face. The swordsman's fierce momentum flashed by, but it also made Nohara Anzi, who was immersed in Uesugi Kiyoshi's profile, have stars in her eyes.

Kudo Yuichi was not surprised. It was normal for powerful people to speak arrogantly.

"Okay, I'm going to the University of Tokyo tomorrow, using the excuse of taking the college entrance exam to visit some of my father's old friends. I won't be bringing my men with me. You can go with me, and we'll take a short detour. I'll find someone to spread the news tonight."

"That idiot from the Yamamoto family and the remnants of the Genkai are not people who can endure any pain. It probably won't be a problem to trick them into taking the bait."

"Hey, you better be ready. I'm entrusting my life and property to you."

"Not to mention that they might use firearms tomorrow, don't underestimate Minamoto Haruya, he's not a simple character either."

"No matter how useless Yuan Longhai is, he is still a branch of the Yuan family. Although he is a branch of the branch family, he is also qualified to have the surname Yuan."

"He has been amassing wealth for half his life, and has basically invested it all in his son. Minaharu has also been diagnosed with extraordinary talent since he was a child, so his father sent him to the Minamoto headquarters in Kyoto to train. He can't return to Tokyo once a year. You should know that practitioners who cultivate their bodies still rely on [resources]. Some extraordinary things are even more valuable, but they can always be bought with yen."

"With the full support of his biological father, Minaharu has also gained considerable fame in Kyoto and is ranked among the younger generation of the Minamoto clan."

"I even heard that he was given the right to use a certain Onikiri."

"The Genji is known for their skill in forging Onikiri. Combined with their family's swordsmanship and the mysterious Onibei, they are a tough opponent."

Kudo Yuichi's words were sincere, but Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't grasp the point.

"Given the right to use [Ghost Cut]?"

After swallowing another mochi, the smile on Uesugi Kiyoshi's face suddenly became a little strange.

"That's too polite."

"Come on, what else do you want to bring?"

Kudo Yu understood this nonsensical remark in a second. Uesugi Kiyoshi had already planned how to obtain the spoils. He shook his head with a helpless look, but said nothing.

It was just his routine friendly reminder. To be honest, after seeing Uesugi Kiyotaka slay the god, he no longer had any doubts about his good friend's "fighting ability".

The "Genji" in Kyoto was not a friend of the Collectors Association, so he was not so saintly as to worry about his enemy.

After pondering for a moment, Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed to have thought of something and frowned, "The Genji is an ancient family, right? Will they make a move through other channels? For example, in the political world?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's worry was not without reason. The Minamoto clan was one of the most despised surnames in Japan. It was a surname given to the Japanese royal family when they were reduced to vassal status. It was usually given to the princes and princesses who were reduced to vassal status, meaning that they were from the same source. Minamoto no Yoritomo, the founder of the Kamakura shogunate, the Ashikaga clan of the Muromachi shogunate, and even the Tokugawa clan of the Edo shogunate, could all be traced back to a branch of the Minamoto clan.

This is an absolutely "noble" surname.

Japan is a country where the "privileged class" is rampant, and it has been like this since ancient times.

Kudo Yuichi shook his head disapprovingly and said with a smile: "Lord Uesugi, times have changed."

"Today's Japan is the Japan of the chaebol, not the Japan of the aristocracy."

"The people who have the final say in this country now are the big businessmen who have risen to power. The four major chaebols before and the six major chaebols today divide up the profits of every industry. The nobles, the aristocrats, and the politicians have to bow their heads in front of the power of money."

"People have to eat after all."

"Genji, Fujiwara, Taira, Tachibana. These are all old antiques. We don't need to be afraid of them."

"Even if they possess a certain degree of extraordinary power, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"The chaebols and political parties have Heian-kyō and the Shinsengumi firmly under their control. Isn't it just to guard against them? They are subject to many constraints. It's not as troublesome as you think."

"If the 1234 group comes to cause trouble, our collection association will still be a little afraid. Don't take these tears of the times to heart - Akutagawa will take care of it if anything happens~"

Without knowing it, Ryunosuke Akutagawa took the blame again.

Uesugi Kiyoshi continued to ask with interest: "One, two, three, four. What is that?"

Kudo Yuichi was puzzled at first, then he stroked his forehead and suddenly realized, "Yes. You don't usually deal with such a behemoth, so it's normal that you don't understand it."

"There were four top chaebols in this country before. They all have a long history. Some were long-standing merchants employed by daimyo, some controlled shipping and were born as pirates, and some made fortunes after the war. They started out in the military industry and then switched to other industries and became very successful."

"After the Great Depression, two new chaebols emerged to compete with these old chaebols."

"The surnames of those wealthy families with a long history are very interesting. They are exactly one, two, three, and four when put together. I don't know if it is fate's arrangement."

"Ichinose, Nikaidou, Mitsui, Shinomiya."

"The rising stars are Hououin and Mitarai."

"These six surnames basically represent everything in this country - Japan is a country of chaebols."

Kudo Yuichi repeated this.

Uesugi Kiyoshi said thoughtfully: "I see, then what is behind the Collectibles Association?"

Kudo Yuichi was not surprised by Uesugi Kiyoshi's quick reaction time.

He chuckled, "This is not a secret, and I won't hide it from you. In fact, the rise of the Collectibles Association and Dong Wenjue is similar. They both took advantage of the situation and rode on the east wind!"

"When the Collectibles Association headquarters approached the Akutagawa family, who had great influence in the literary world, they were only willing to provide [technology]. Most of the true knowers in the association now were sent by the headquarters, but other than that, they don't give us any support."

"It just so happened that at that time, the supernatural organizations had just flourished. The Shinsengumi and Heian-kyō were originally [official forces], and it was no surprise that they were infiltrated by political parties and chaebols. The two emerging chaebols were excluded by them, so they wanted to support a force to fight against them."

"They all attach great importance to supernatural powers."

"It just so happens that the party my old man belongs to accepts political donations from the Phoenix Court and the Mitarai families. They are the financial sponsors."

"Akutagawa and I have known each other since childhood and have a pretty good personal relationship. After discussing it over, we hit it off and decided to go for a big win."

"My family's sphere of influence is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. The Metropolitan Police Department is different from the National Police Agency. The Metropolitan Police Department is administratively under the jurisdiction of the local government and is supervised by the National Public Safety Commission of Japan, which is directly responsible to the Cabinet."

He looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's confused eyes, sighed, and immediately spoke briefly.

"Anyway, the supernatural organization under the National Police Agency is the Shinsengumi, which is basically the henchmen of those old chaebols. The two chaebols that prospered later stood behind us in order to support supernatural forces and political forces to fight against them."

"Because our strength is indispensable at the moment, we are not constrained by those financial backers and can act freely. But what about the next step? Hum, let's talk about it later."

"How is it? It's concise enough!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi finished his snacks, took the thermos cup that Nohara Anzu had been holding in his arms, drank half a cup of water happily, let out a long sigh, and muttered to himself.

"Phoenix Courtyard."

"Why does this last name sound familiar?"

Chapter 182 Yamamoto House

The surname went through his mind twice, and a beautiful and mature face of a beauty appeared in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Gentle and quiet, she resembles Li Fuyao 70% in appearance and 90% in spirit.

"grass!"

He suddenly stood up from the bench with an incredible look on his face.

No mistake. Living in Kyoto all year round, the couple is separated. Even if he has a master like Ye San under his command, he cannot stay with his wife for a long time. He can only stay in Tokyo to take care of his daughter in her old age, and cannot touch other industries.

There must be huge resistance, but who can stop Tai Sui, who has a group of blue-clad followers and good brothers with superb abilities?
