He felt that Li Fuyao would not be particularly averse to Xingzi.

Otherwise, it is no secret that he and Xingzi have been living together, and Li Fuyao has never come to arrest them.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li Fuyao snorted softly.

"What a blatant declaration of being a scumbag. He was saying sweet words to me yesterday, but today he went to accompany Xingzi?"

"Our Uesugi-kun is really fair. If this trend continues, I won't be able to get you a few days a month. I heard that you are quite popular in the association."

"Nothing!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's answer was firm and decisive, and his desire to survive was extremely strong.

After saying that, he smiled bitterly.

"Fuyao, you know me. I can't just abandon Xingzi."

"Whether it's you or Xingzi, I don't want to lose you again."

Perhaps the sincerity in his words touched Li Fuyao's memory, and the voice on the other end became a little softer.

"Okay, I'll let you go this time."

"I heard from Priest Hanyu, have you found the person?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed.

"No, I went around that area on purpose, but I didn't find anything. By the way, Shuten said that the attacker might be related to his divine body, so he could sense the man's aura, but I've spent a day here and found nothing."

Li Fuyao paused thoughtfully and continued, "It's okay, don't worry, there's still time."

"I'm calling you this time to tell you something. In three days, the Fenghuangyuan family will hold a board meeting - in fact, it is a meeting for several factions to fight for power and profit."

"By then, all the senior people will be there."

"The person who came up with the idea to plot against Akutagawa is called Hohōin Kazuki. His father is one of the five current elders of Hohōin."

"Being in the public eye may be the best opportunity to make an example of someone. If we don't teach some people a lesson, some problems can't be solved thoroughly. Do you understand what I mean?"

Uesugi Qing thought for a moment and guessed, "Are you asking me to attend the meeting?"

Li Fuyao chuckled.

"Yes, but you have to make an impressive appearance!"

After talking on the phone with Li Fuyao for nearly ten minutes, Uesugi Qing let out a breath after hanging up.

He could hardly believe that such a reckless plan was proposed by Li Fuyao.

But think about it, in essence, extraordinary people don't need to go through a lot of twists and turns to deal with ordinary people. The simplest and most direct method is violence.

Li Fuyao means

Let Uesugi Kiyoshi break into the headquarters of the Phoenix Court in broad daylight and use extremely violent means to give the top leaders of the Phoenix Court an unforgettable memory.

Chapter 317 Trouble

In fact, Uesugi Kiyoshi had not originally intended to handle the matter so openly.

He planned to find a dark and windy night after dealing with the monk, and then go and have a chat with the young master of the Fenghuangyuan family.

He is extremely good at convincing people with reason.

The principles of physics.

There was no need to elevate this matter to the level of the entire Phoenix-in Zaibatsu. It was just the open and covert struggles among factions within the system. Uesugi Kiyoshi could figure out a lot of it, but he was too lazy to deal with such troublesome matters.

If he's obedient and can talk, that's fine. If he can't talk, just kill him with a knife. What's the use?

You are extremely wealthy and powerful, but can you block my sword that kills gods and slays demons?

However, the "suggestion" Li Fuyao gave him was not that simple. It could be regarded as a declaration of war against a top Japanese financial group. If this matter were to be spread, the Fenghuangyuan family would surely lose all face.

The Japanese are a nation that cares a lot about their reputation. They would rather eat coarse food for several months than invest a large amount of money in their image to make themselves look more respectable.

This is especially true for those upper class people.

You caused me to lose hundreds of millions of yen, but we are all still smiling on the surface. We can slowly settle our grudges behind the scenes. But if you make me look bad in public, I'm sorry, this grudge is created and we will never stop until one of us dies.

Uesugi Kiyoshi put down his phone, thought for several minutes, and slowly understood what Li Fuyao meant.

Are they trying to use one good cop and one bad cop to take over the huge Fenghuangyuan family?

Well, with her means, it is impossible that she really has no preparation at all. In this case, he doesn't need to think too much and just do things according to Li Fuyao's plan.

This kind of pure "fighting", which puts aside all conflicts of interest and grudges, is what Uesugi Kiyoshi is best at.

Ueno Mitsuishi stayed beside him with a smile on his face, looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi with meaningful eyes.

Do you call another girl while on a date with a girl?

What a terrible future!

Uesugi Kiyoshi has already maxed out his reputation with Ueno Mitsuishi - they have only known each other for a short time, and they are in a boss-subordinate relationship. In order to save him, this young man was even willing to risk his life and go to the Dream Mirror to fight a bloody battle with the Outer Gods. This kindness cannot be repaid even if he were to be torn to pieces.

Now, even if Uesugi Kiyoshi went to kill people or set fires, I'm afraid Ueno Mitsuishi would be there to help bury the bodies and pass gasoline, and after he was done he would not forget to applaud and say, "Uesugi-kun's swordsmanship is really sharp, well done!"

In his eyes, even if Uesugi Kiyoshi were to have a large harem, let alone two-timing, he would not have any objection. Instead, he would try his best to mediate and prevent Uesugi Kiyoshi from getting into trouble.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was silent for a while, then suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Ueno Sanishi, "Senior Ueno, I'm a little curious. A little earlier, I mean more than a decade ago, were extraordinary people still emerging in endlessly like now, and were ghost and god disasters also frequent?"

"."

"I've only been a member of the Collectibles Association for two months, and I've already killed two demons that coveted Tokyo. This frequency is a bit outrageous."

"There are also endless commissions for supernatural events. The president of the Collectibles Association came to Kyoto to report on his work, but he was killed. This is too much."

Ueno Sanishi pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"When I was young, I mean thirty years ago, the concept of supernatural beings was no longer a secret. At that time, the upper echelons of society basically knew about the concept of supernatural beings."

"At that time, Heian-kyo and the Shinsengumi also had their embryonic forms, and traces of demons and gods could be found, but it was definitely not as serious as it is now."

"The four categories of extraordinary people, the Linkers, the Practitioners, the True Seers, and the Mystics, are actually factions that have been around for a long time. Their traces can be found in history."

"These materials are all in the association's intelligence database. If Uesugi-kun is interested, I can go back and collect them for you to check."

"However, decades ago, supernatural disasters were not as frequent as they are now. Take Tokyo for example. There were cases where ghosts and gods bewitched mortals, gathered their faith, and attempted to descend upon us, but most of them were small-scale, and some could be eliminated without even using supernatural powers."

"But in recent years, the situation has become much more serious. Various strange sects have emerged one after another, and there are many cases of ghosts and gods killing people. Before Uesugi-kun came to the Collectibles Association, Dazai-kun and Akutagawa-kun teamed up to take in four or five gods of various kinds - gods of the mountains and wilds who are not on the stage, but they all have divine power, and their destructive power has steadily surpassed the regional level."

"Not to mention this year, it's only been a short time since the Chinese New Year, and I almost fell into this old bone. It's all thanks to Uesugi-kun, otherwise."

After listening to this, Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded in understanding.

It seems that his idea is correct. As expected, there are traces of the time when supernatural powers are active.

The Heian period, the Warring States period, and now.

In this way, his reincarnation might not be a coincidence. It is only in such turbulent times that he can take advantage of the opportunity.

But he thought again and felt a little puzzled.

There are four factions of supernatural beings, and the others are easy to explain, but what about the Linkers, are there really any traces of them in history?

People today are connected to the ancients, so who did the ancients connect to?

Older people?

There is also the phenomenon after connecting with the heroic spirits. Most of the actors end up going crazy, and the heirs cannot inherit all the power - this setting is also weird.

If you think about it carefully, the methods used by ghosts and gods to create secret rituals are not much different, right?

Speaking of which, since he stepped into the world of extraordinary people, he has come into contact with the least extraordinary people, especially enemies.

What he dealt with more often were ghosts and gods.

While others are taking great pains to clear out the small monsters, he just directly kills the BOSS.

Of course, he inherited the experience and equipment of the "big guy", and even a wife, so there was nothing wrong with choosing a hell difficulty to start with.

This time when I come to Kyoto, I might as well get in touch with more various extraordinary people. After all, Uesugi Kiyoshi's power can only be regarded as his own inheritance, and because of his incomplete memory, he cannot use this power completely with ease.

Recently, when he was studying the swordsman's "Qi", he was quite touched. Although the sword Qi of Mingshen Sword was extremely sharp, it was a bit obscure to use. It was enough to charge forward, but he could not achieve roundness and heart.

He will be considered to have mastered the art only when he can do what his master does, that is, crush a piece of rag into pieces with a flick of his finger, while leaving the floor underneath completely unscathed.

While he was thinking, Ueno Sanishi called him softly.

"Uesugi-kun, there seems to be some trouble with Miss Kyoko."

He turned his eyes and saw that there was indeed a circle of people gathered next to Xingzi's booth.

Chapter 318 The defense is broken

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked carefully and realized that something was not right.

If it is said that Anzi attracted the gangsters to come and chat with her because of her looks. Although this plot is very cliché, it can easily happen in Japan - but this place is not right either.

I've never heard of any gangsters coming to a coffee shop to chat up young girls. Those shops still need to do business. Most of these shops pay protection fees to some gang. If you break the rules like this, the police may just take you in and give you a lecture, but those gangsters won't care and will just beat you up.

Life is hard nowadays and even gangs have to pay attention to after-sales service, otherwise what if the customers run away?

Also, something wasn’t quite right about the format of the store.

Xingzi stood there somewhat angrily, with her arms outstretched, like an old hen protecting her chicks, protecting behind her a short girl who looked even weaker than Xingzi before.

In front of her were a few little girls wearing heavy makeup. Their skin was specially plastic surgery to be wheat-colored, they had thin eyebrows tattooed, short skirts that reached their thighs, and thick-soled platform boots on their feet, which made their height look a level higher.

It's a bit like the Shibuya hotties in the 1990s. In fact, many Japanese girl gangsters do dress like this. It's not that they think it looks good, but they just want to be different and make themselves stand out. There are always some people who enjoy being looked at differently and are proud of it.

It was the first time that Uesugi Kiyoshi saw Anzi so brave, and he couldn't help but feel curious about the little girl she was protecting behind her.

He looked at it carefully as he walked over, raising his eyebrows.

She looked to be between junior high school and high school age, with a baby face like Anzi, but not as cute as her - it was not like Uesugi Kiyoshi who said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, that little girl was just average looking.

She was wearing a maid outfit of a coffee shop waitress, with her hair simply tied up. She looked poor and shabby, and it was obvious that she was not from a wealthy family.

but

The demonic aura around her was almost five times stronger than that of the previous salesgirl.

This is the nth human being who has been associated with monsters.
