Tokyo Swordmaster Online Dealer

Nodding again without comment, Uesugi Kiyoshi then asked, "Where's Maki? I need to talk to her about something. How is the group doing now? What has she been busy with recently?"

It seemed that the man in sunglasses, Yamada, had done his homework and was not a Yakuza who was just going through the motions. He organized his words and responded in an organized manner.

"Lord Uesugi, the eldest lady is usually in the study during this time. Recently, the group has abandoned many businesses that are not presentable, and the remaining group assets and management methods are also being slowly reformed. This is all done by the eldest lady. Because the eldest lady's plan cuts off part of the interests of the main family, so that the people below will not suffer sudden economic losses due to the reform, and the means of implementation are also very gentle, so there is no opposition yet."

"However, in my humble opinion, your combat power was too dazzling in the previous raid on the headquarters. Dongwen's Sword Ghost has now surpassed the [Young Dragon] and [Demon Sword] and has become a synonym for powerful in the extreme world. Under the deterrence of your military power, those people below dare not have any ulterior motives."

"Lord Uesugi, the young lady often thinks of you, but she has been too busy recently to spare any time to visit you. She will definitely be very happy to see you here."

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't take the last sentence to heart. How could a small gatekeeper like him understand Toufu Maki's mood? It was probably just a casual flattery.

However, it seems that this cheap student of mine did not slack off. He quickly got over the pain of losing his father and started working hard for his dream.

Uesugi Kiyoshi admires those who pursue their dreams with all their might, because he is also such a person.

He waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and then he drove around a few corners in his familiar route, took a small path in the maze-like Japanese garden, and went straight to the study.

Seeing Uesugi Kiyoshi's receding figure, a man in a black suit boldly approached the man in sunglasses, Yamada, and asked in a low voice: "Is that Mr. Yamada the..."

Yamada made a mysterious gesture to keep quiet, and when he saw that there was no one around, he cleared his throat complacently, looking like someone who was trying to persuade others.

"Hmph, you newcomers, you must remember the appearance of that master. He was the powerful swordsman who single-handedly broke into the lair of the rebel Dongwenyu with a sword, helped the young lady to ascend to the throne, and killed countless enemies. Swords and even guns could not get close to him. It is said that he is the direct descendant of the sword saint of the Shinkage School, and is known as the Dongwen Sword Ghost, Uesugi Kiyoshi, Lord Uesugi!"

"Don't underestimate him because he is young. When it comes to fighting skills, even if you all attack together, you are no match for him with just one swing of the sword!"

Yamada was very pleased with the shocked expressions of his group of younger brothers. After thinking about it, he decided to hold back the rest of his words to prevent himself from saying anything out of the blue.

Maybe the parties involved don’t know, but don’t the cadres and members of the Dongwen Association have some guesses in their minds?

Lord Uesugi's strength goes without saying. He has a close relationship with the old president as his master, a clean family background, and has saved the eldest lady from danger several times. The eldest lady even transferred the ownership of several companies under her command to him - that is not a small company, it is an important company in charge of shipping and foreign trade, which is the core economic source of Dongwen and facilitates smuggling.

This is clearly the treatment for finding a son-in-law!

Moreover, they are a perfect match, both talented and beautiful, and their ages are suitable - who knows who will have the final say in the Dongwen Association in the future!

Otherwise, why would he be so respectful? He was at least a small leader and a meritorious official. He could speak with his back held high in the Dongwen Club!

A few minutes later, Uesugi Kiyoshi arrived at the door of the study room, thought for a moment, and knocked politely.

"Please come in."

A female voice, which was gentle and pleasant, but clearly exhausted, was heard.

Uesugi Kiyoshi pushed the door open and was slightly stunned.

The light in the room was a soft orange-yellow color, and the furnishings were in the style of a traditional study, with antique bookshelves all around. In the middle of the room was an extremely large desk, on which were scattered many organized files. The laptop computer emitted a fluorescent white glow, which was reflected on the picturesque face of the girl, casting a faint glow on her haggard face.

Maki Toufumi seems to be an avid fan of kimono. After Uesugi Kiyoshi removed the furisode, she is rarely seen wearing other clothes. However, her charming face of a traditional Japanese beauty makes the luxurious clothes complement her perfectly.

The young Lord of Dongwen was writing something at his desk. He didn't even raise his eyelids, but just asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Maybe she mistook the visitor for a subordinate who came to report on work. After just a few days of not seeing her, the girl's voice already had a bit of dignity that was not there before. It seemed that as the second generation of the Touwen Society, she had successfully played the role.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't say anything. He glanced to the side and met the gaze of the demon sword Kamimori who was wearing a samurai uniform. He nodded as a greeting, and then looked at Toufu Maki with a half-smile, feeling a little emotional.

People do grow up, and disasters are the catalyst for growth. Dong Wenjue was a shrewd man, and his death was not in vain. The girl in front of him now is completely different from the naive girl when he first met her.

Maybe because she didn't get a response for too long, Dongwen Maki frowned, with a look of intimidation between her brows. She raised her eyes and was about to say something, but her slightly angry expression turned into surprise.

If I have to use a metaphor, it's like on your birthday, you realize that everyone has forgotten your birthday, but in the evening the little girl comes to a surprise party prepared by her relatives and friends, and receives the most desired gift, and her eyes are filled with joy.

Perhaps she felt that there was something wrong with her demeanor, so Touwen Maki forced herself to suppress the joy on her face and stood up with some reserve, but she couldn't conceal the joy in her tone.

"Sir, you are here."

"Why didn't you inform me in advance? Has the sir had dinner yet? I'll have someone prepare it - you sit down for a while, Shen Cheng, go make some tea."

Dong Wen's famous demon sword was treated like a maid, but he did not show any resentment. He just obediently prepared the tea set and actually prepared to make tea.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled faintly and sat down opposite the desk without any hesitation. He glanced at the documents casually and saw many profound and complex project proposal titles. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, there was something urgent. I couldn't explain it over the phone, so I came directly here. Didn't I bother you?"

Dongwen Maki showed a rare smile on her face and shook her head slightly, saying, "No, sir, these are not important matters. It's just that I just took over the affairs of Dongwen Club, so I handled more of them personally. I also wanted to learn. Otherwise, I could have left these to my subordinates."

"Let's not talk about that. What is the matter with you coming here this time, sir? Could it be that you finally remembered that I am still your disciple and want to teach me swordsmanship?"

She was just joking, but looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression, she knew that was definitely not the case.

Although Uesugi Qingqing was a person who could hide things, Toufu Maki could clearly feel the solemnity in his every move and every word.

He seemed to be carrying a heavy burden. Although he was smiling, his expression was not completely happy. It was a bit like himself when he was burdened with blood feud. There was always something in his heart that he couldn't let go.

Maki Toufumi has always been smart and realized that something might have happened, so she didn't change the subject and prepared to listen to what Uesugi Kiyoshi had to say first.

As expected, Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed, tapped the table with his fingers, organized his words, and said in a muffled voice: "Although it's not good to trouble you at this time, and the Dongwen Club is also in a state of disrepair, but I am really anxious about this matter, and I am not very sure, so I can only use all my strength to deal with it."

"That's what happened"

He told Maki Toufumi everything in detail, without hiding anything, from the suddenness of the rain, to the task received by the Collectibles Association, to the in-depth investigation, the sect of Lord Arakawa, the involvement of the Deep Ones and the Outer Gods, and the infection of Ueno Mitsuishi's secret ritual, and finally told Maki Toufumi his plan in detail.

"In other words, sir, you want to declare war on a certain god?"

"Or... the so-called [Outer God]? Sorry, I don't quite understand this concept, but it sounds like they are much more powerful than the Tosho God who died under your sword, right?"

After hearing what happened, Touwen Maki showed no surprise or panic on her face, only deep worry.

"Well, there is no comparison. You know the disaster assessment criteria of the Collectibles Association, right? The Tosho God was at most a castle-level disaster, and it only had the power to destruct a city. This time, the opponent may have the destructive power of a country-level. That god, in his own Dream Mirror Kingdom, may have the ability to overthrow an entire country."

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded and stated his judgment truthfully.

"But, sir, you must kill it, right?"

Maki Toufumi looked directly into Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes, and although it was a question, her expression was firm.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

Touwen Maki's frown gradually relaxed, the smile at the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious, and she even chuckled.

"It is because of you, sir, that so many people are following you, right?"

"It's really cool to be able to risk your life for someone you're not that close to."

She said these two sentences absentmindedly, as if she had thought of something, and her expression became softer and softer.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was slightly stunned and shook his head quickly.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not a saint. I don't have the intention to risk my life for someone who has nothing to do with me. Senior Ueno is a retainer entrusted to me by Akutagawa. He has helped me a lot. Besides, he is a good man. Good people should not die suddenly. If I see this, I have to intervene!"

These words did not surprise Touwen Maki. The girl in the cherry-colored furisode held her chin with both hands, dropped the pen in her hand, smiled brightly, and opened her red lips slightly.

"Yes, if you see it, you have to take care of it."

"Just like when you saw me dying helplessly on your doorstep - you stepped forward and saved me, didn't you?"

Uesugi Qing clicked his tongue and felt a little confused. He didn't know why, but deep in his subconscious, he was always resisting the fact that he was regarded as a good person. He didn't know why, but he just didn't want to admit that he could be kind.

So he started to talk tough.

"You are different. Dong Wenhui has a close relationship with my master. I have also accepted the master's commission to be your teacher temporarily. What teacher would watch his disciple die on the spot?"

Dong Wen Zhen Xi smiled and said: "Not all teachers will block bullets for their students, right?"

After saying that, she didn't wait for Uesugi Kiyoshi's answer, and continued to ask: "Okay, okay, sir, since you said so, I will take it as the case."

"But, isn't Miss Xingzi also living her current life thanks to Mr.'s kindness?"

When Uesugi Kiyoshi heard that Toufu Maki mentioned Anzi's name, he felt a little flustered - his relationship with Anzi was not kept secret, and it could be easily found out with a simple search. He was not surprised that Toufu Maki knew about their ambiguous relationship.

He just felt a little inexplicably palpitating - when a girl asks you about another girl with a smile in front of you, your answer may be the decisive factor in whether you will spend the rest of your time at your memorial service or in the recovery ward.

However, Uesugi Kiyoshi still did not change his straight male nature. He cleared his throat, took out the dignity of a master, and said hesitantly with his eyes erect, "Then just think of me as being attracted by your beauty!"

When Dong Wen Zhenxi heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. It was such a beautiful smile that even all the flowers were eclipsed.

She covered her mouth with her sleeves and laughed softly, "Are you attracted by your beauty? But, Mr. has never had me in his eyes."

She is absolutely confident about her "appearance". It's not that she is arrogant or narcissistic, but this face is indeed a beautiful jade with few flaws.

But for those who do not appreciate beautiful jade, it is of no use no matter how flawless it is.

Chapter 214 Sudden Confession

Since ancient times, gentlemen have worn jade and also paired it with beauties.

Although Uesugi Kiyoshi is unwilling to admit it, he is actually quite patriarchal. To him, traditional women like Nohara Anko who obey him in everything are more popular.

The main reason is that there are not many people who can help him in his extraordinary career, so he still has to rely on himself - well, maybe he can eat Li Fuyao's free food?

He shook his head and immediately dismissed the dangerous idea in his mind. He pulled the corners of his mouth and his smile began to become a little stiff.

Dong Wenzhen's voice just now was a little soft, but with his current sharpness of five senses, in such a narrow space in this room, he could hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground clearly.

He wanted to play dumb and fool the whole thing, because he didn't know if he was being too sentimental, but he felt that the expression of Touwen Maki in front of him was similar to that of a female classmate in school who had confessed her love to him crazily just because of his good-looking face.

Of course, Maki Touwen’s reason shouldn’t be so superficial. Maybe it’s because of the so-called “love suspension bridge effect”?

Psychologists believe that when people cross a suspension bridge with the opposite sex, because of the dangerous environment, people are nervous and their heartbeats speed up, which makes it easier for them to fall in love. This is also the reason why the hero saving the beauty routine can last forever in this world.

What Uesugi Kiyoshi and Toufu Maki experienced together was much more exciting than crossing a suspension bridge.

Therefore, it seems not impossible that he has already established a tall and majestic image in Touwen Maki's mind, and this not-so-old girl has beautified this image into love.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stopped tapping the table with his fingers. Maki Toufumi on the opposite side threw a straight ball and then lowered her brows, not looking at him again, making it impossible for him to guess what the beautiful woman in front of him was thinking.

"Hey, what the seniors said really makes sense. If one can guess what a girl is thinking, then one must be a very high-level sea king. I am still far from that."

He sighed, patted his face, moved the muscles around his mouth, and shook his head helplessly.

"I always feel like you're hinting at something - you're really envious of Xingzi, aren't you? How come the eldest daughter of the Dongwen family also wants to come to my house and do my laundry and cooking for me, and be a full-time housewife?"

Dong Wen Zhenxi raised her eyes slightly, her cheeks flushed a little, but her eyes were serious.

"Well, although I am a little unwilling, but if it is you, sir, I can do it."

The obedient disciple who was thought to retreat in the face of difficulties turned a blind eye to his intentions and instead took advantage of the situation. Uesugi immediately felt a lump in his throat - what happened? Was he having an affair recently? How come things were so ordinary before, but now it has become like this?

Come to think of it, these changes only occurred from the day the Hundred Demons Scroll came into effect, right?

It’s all because of the Hundred Demons Scroll!

Unreasonably throwing the blame on his own golden finger to relieve some of his guilt, Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled bitterly and said, "So, your father's last wish, Dongwen's future, and your subordinates who trust you are all no match for me alone, right?"

"To be honest, I'm honored. But, Maki, we've only known each other for a few days. Are your thoughts really true and in line with your heart?"

"Although these words from me may sound a bit like taking advantage of others, a wrong beginning will inevitably lead to a wrong ending. An accelerated heartbeat on the suspension bridge does not necessarily mean a real heartbeat."
