Uesugi Kiyoshi was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

No matter in past or present life, or as the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts, they are all people who have experienced separation and death.

He even said he was a little used to the passing of people he knew.

He had lost too many people.

That "Yamato" is the best swordsman among the field staff of the Collectibles Association. If he gets an opportunity, he may be able to step into the threshold of extraordinaryness. Uesugi Kiyoshi likes his serious attitude when learning swordsmanship, so he often teaches him, and even teaches him some of the Shinkage-ryu's out-of-date swordsmanship.

Although Yamato didn't say it, he usually treated Uesugi Kiyoshi as a teacher, but Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't treat him as a disciple. He didn't want to accept another disciple for the time being, as one was enough trouble.

The relationship is not that deep, and the feelings are not that strong. It can be said that we are just acquaintances.

But Uesugi Kiyoshi still felt uncomfortable, probably because of his personality.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke stood up and wanted to get angry - it was not his fault. No matter what, Ono's behavior broke the rules and he deserved to be punished.

Otherwise, it would be a high-level council where anyone could come in and interrupt for any reason.

"If you're going to get angry, talk about it later. If you want to punish him, wait until he finishes talking."

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at Akutagawa Ryunosuke and his voice was cold.

Ono saw the opportunity and bowed down fiercely.

"Master Onikiri, please! Help Yamato to get revenge!"

"You gave him a sword. Only investigators are qualified to use Horcruxes. He treasured it."

"When he was attacked that day, he could have retreated, but his sword was taken away from him. He was so hot-blooded that he tried to grab the sword without hesitation. As a result, he was hit by the opponent. He didn't even get his body back."

"Master Onikiri, I know I shouldn't have overstepped my bounds, but Yamato's death couldn't have been in vain!"

A grown man knelt on the ground, crying.

Uesugi Kiyoshi let out a breath, turned to look at Akutagawa Ryunosuke, the curve at the corner of his mouth was like a cold blade.

"Akutagawa, don't you think it's ridiculous that a person lost his life for a sword?"

"I can get as many standard swords as I want."

After hearing this, Ono opened his mouth wide, looked a little indignant, and wanted to say something, but Uesugi Kiyoshi glared at him fiercely and shouted, "I didn't ask you!"

Then he turned his head and continued to stare at Akutagawa Ryunosuke's haggard face, asking word by word.

"Akutagawa, what do you think?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke could feel Uesugi Kiyoshi's anger as if a storm was about to come.

He didn't quite understand where the anger came from, but after thinking about it carefully, he could actually understand it a little.

Of course he would be sad when his subordinate died, but this sadness would not stay in Akutagawa Ryunosuke's heart for long.

A kind army cannot be commanded. He is the leader and he wants to lead the Collectibles Association forward.

Some things that can be discarded should be discarded.

If we can make peace with the Fenghuangyuan family, then these lives will have been lost in vain.

This is a common occurrence in Japan. The lives of insignificant people are not that important.

Just like the classic trolley problem, can you say that Ryunosuke Akutagawa is a cold-blooded, heartless and unloyal person?

He also did it for the Collectors Association. If the association could develop better and better, it would surely be able to save more people who had suffered from the disasters of ghosts and gods.

But looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi's expressionless face, he couldn't say anything about all the truths in his mind.

Because he suddenly realized that those words were probably nonsense to the young man in front of him.

He might be that kind of person.

He fought against demons and gods alone for Nohara Anko, a person he had only met a few times; he overturned the entire Dongwen Society for an instruction from his master; and he rushed into the dream mirror of the outer god without regard for his life for Ueno Mitsuishi, a person he had just met not long ago, fighting to the death.

Now, he might very well turn Kyoto upside down because of a wrongful death.

For some reason, Akutagawa Ryunosuke felt a little envious.

He also wanted to act so wildly, but he couldn't.

He was carrying a heavy load on his back and had to be careful with every move he made.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke took a deep breath, and the cold air swirled around in his lungs, making his brain a little clearer.

"sorry."

He just whispered these three words.

Even he himself didn't know why he had to apologize. When the Collectibles Association was on a mission, deaths were inevitable. This was not the first time.

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke's somewhat panic-stricken and dejected expression, and suddenly felt a little bored.

He sighed and shook his head.

"Akutagawa, your subordinates work for you to earn money, but no matter how much you pay them, you can't make them work so hard for you."

"They worked for you, and if they die, you have to take responsibility."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked up at Uesugi Kiyoshi blankly and said unconsciously: "I will give them a pension."

This answer was not what Uesugi Kiyoshi expected.

“The money is in place, but can the person survive?”

"Just make a symbolic statement, cry a little, give some money, and let it go."

"Have you ever considered whether people's hearts will gather and disperse if this continues?"

"We are in this business. It is normal for people to die. If they died to contain ghosts and gods or eliminate supernatural disasters, then I have nothing to say. It is reasonable for us to follow your process."

"But, someone came to your door and played dirty tricks on you, causing serious injuries to your companions and the death of your men, and you are still thinking about negotiating and making peace?"

"."

"Good people are often bullied. If you kneel for too long, you won't be able to stand up again."

"Fortunately, I don't have the habit of kneeling."

Uesugi Kiyoshi stood up, glanced at Ono, and then turned his gaze to the sword in his hand.

"Is this the sword?"

he asked.

Ono nodded repeatedly and held the sword high in both hands.

"Yamato took the sword back before he died and entrusted it to me."

Uesugi Kiyoshi took the broken sword and solemnly wore it around his waist.

"To be honest, dying for a sword is really stupid. Life and death are more important than anything else. Yamato will definitely become an excellent swordsman in the future. It's a pity that he died."

"However, it is precisely because of this obsession that he has made such rapid progress in swordsmanship."

"It's useless to talk more, it won't help."

"I'll take this sword. I'll avenge him. Don't worry."

After saying that, Uesugi Kiyoshi ignored Ono's ecstatic face, turned around quietly, reached out and took off the sword-shaped badge of Onikiri, the representative of the Collectibles Association, from his chest and threw it on the table.

"If you think this may affect the future of the Collectibles Association, then I will not act in the name of a collector. I will return this to you."

"You are afraid of them, but I am not."

"Now, this is a personal vendetta."

"I will investigate who did this myself."

"I'll find out and kill myself."

Chapter 297 Nothing else to ask for

Uesugi Kiyoshi was about to leave with an expressionless face, but Akutagawa Ryunosuke could no longer sit still.

He suddenly stood up and slammed the table, his expression somewhat annoyed, but the tone of his words was not harsh.

"Don't say that!"

"You make it seem like I'm in league with the enemy. Do you think my injuries are minor?"

"Don't I want revenge? Oh."

"Nineteen out of ten people are unhappy, but you can tell them about it. If you can hold your head high, who wants to bow your head and be submissive?"

"What do you want me to do? Why should I play wrestling with a chaebol as big as the Phoenix Courtyard?"

As if he wanted to vent his anger, Akutagawa Ryunosuke complained without caring whether there were other people around or not.

What he said was correct.

No one wants to be humble, because everyone is bent over by life.

As the young master of the Akutagawa family and the president of the Collectibles Association, his life is not as easy as imagined. In fact, he is not much better than an ordinary office worker.

There is always someone more powerful than him.

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at the sad face and felt a little bit reluctant.

Before he could say anything, Akutagawa Ryunosuke suddenly slammed the table hard and widened his eyes, as if he had made a difficult decision.

"Forget it! It's okay to go crazy with you."

"Bring this thing with me!"

"I don't want to see you take it off again!"

After throwing the "Onikiri" badge back to Uesugi Kiyoshi, Akutagawa Ryunosuke resigned himself to his fate and slumped down on the chair, his expression much more relaxed and relieved.

Uesugi Qing raised his eyebrows, took the badge, and put it on without saying anything. The smile on his lips softened a little.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so easily persuaded. I didn't say I wanted to quit, so why are you so nervous?"

Seeing how lightly Uesugi Kiyoshi said it, Akutagawa Ryunosuke felt a little angry.

"Come on, I'm not convinced by your ideas."

"It's just that I made a judgment. Rather than offending the [Demon Sealing Sword Soul] who is unrivaled in our association, I might as well offend the Phoenix Court family."
