I teach judo in Tokyo.

Atobe Sousuke frowned, killed the witnesses, exposed the assassins, retrieved the secrets, and then disappeared without a trace.

Jormungandr carried out his drastic act of self-sacrifice without the slightest hesitation.

Clearly, from the moment they learned that the three men, including Kinda, had been arrested, they knew that their plan to target the Five Families had failed.

Then, the second generation of the Jabone Society, the Red Serpent Group, was dismantled by Sousuke alone, which made them realize that the authorities had decided to take action against the Jabone Society.

With these two factors combined, Jormungandr's original plans have clearly been greatly affected, and he has now decided to lie low and make adjustments.

I don't know if this situation is good or bad...

Subaru Akai: "There's another situation. In addition to shooting down two captured strongmen, the assassins exposed in the Countermeasures Bureau also showed signs of being hacked in our special warehouse. We are currently taking stock of what the intruders did or stole."

Before Sousuke could speak, Yae Meixuan, who was standing next to him, complained, "Putting everything else aside, your lousy countermeasures bureau is infiltrated like a sieve. Aren't you ashamed?"

Subaru Akai was speechless for a moment, then surprisingly agreed: "I also think that the department responsible for recruitment review has been corrupted, how could such a problem occur? They have no shame at all!"

Sosuke quickly steered the conversation back to the main point: "So, you've come to inform us of this matter for a reason?"

Subaru Akai: "That's right, because we're about to face that special super-organization. Their activities after going into hiding are likely to be primarily led by superhumans, and our task force is somewhat understaffed..."

Yae Meixuan reached for the phone: "So, is the Countermeasures Bureau going to 'requisition' us?"

“It doesn’t have to sound like requisition. It’s more like commission, employment, or cooperation…” Akai Subaru said immediately. “We will apply to pay you, and we will also share information during the cooperation.”

Yae Meixuan chuckled lightly: "Akai, we are very expensive, and you've been keeping this incident a secret. I don't want to die without knowing why."

Subaru Akai: "Money is not a problem. As for the intelligence, as long as you agree, the Countermeasures Bureau will disclose it to you immediately. We didn't tell you before because the purpose of the Ring Serpent's operation this time could be very terrible. We can't spread it without confirmation to avoid alerting them..."

Subaru Akai's underlying meaning is quite clear: now that the grass has been cut and the snake has been startled, the level of secrecy has been lowered.

Sosuke and Yae Meixuan exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's meaning—to go back and discuss it further before giving a reply.

Yae Meixuan said lazily, "This is a serious matter, so we need to think about it and will give you an answer later."

Subaru Akai: "Alright, Kyogoku has also been ordered back by the bureau. They won't just make you guys do the work."

After saying goodbye to Subaru Akai, Sousuke and his beautiful mentor ended their post-war celebration and left the hotel.

"Let's go to the Wufang family first." Yae Meixuan checked the time and subconsciously rubbed her stomach.

Although her body felt much more relaxed after being massaged by Sosuke's Nourishing Pulse Hands, the intense training that lasted for more than two hours still left her feeling sore all over.

They were fed very well.

Sosuke nodded, readily agreeing to the beautiful master's suggestion.

......

Half an hour later, the two people appeared at the front door of Wu Fang's house.

Master!

Wufang Suzi, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, threw herself into Yae Meixuan's arms.

The kendo girl was half a head taller than her master, but now she was snuggling into her master's arms, creating a heartwarming and funny scene.

Yae Meixuan turned her head to look at Sousuke with a smug look on her face and let out a triumphant "kuku" laugh.

I don't know where her competitive spirit comes from.

Sosuke pursed his lips speechlessly.

However, the two beauties hugging and sticking together looked so lovely.

While Motoko's cushioning pad wasn't as extravagant as the beautiful master's, it was still an excellent size. The sight of the two cushioning pads pressed together was a delightful spectacle for Sousuke.

Moreover, he personally measured everything by hand, which gave him a richer imagination.

comfortable!

Yae Meiken gently patted Suzuko's back: "Suzuko, you can rest assured now, your master is unharmed!"

Motoko stepped out of Yae Meika's arms and looked at Sousuke: "Master, welcome back."

Sousuke chuckled: "Motoko, your master and I are both back safe and sound. I've fulfilled my promise to you~"

He deliberately raised his eyebrows, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

The kendo girl's eyes flickered, her face flushed slightly, and she remained silent.

She immediately remembered that before Sosuke set off to rescue Yae Meiken today, he had taken the opportunity to ask her for a promise.

Now that Sousuke has fulfilled his promise, doesn't that mean she'll...

(//▼/へ//▼//)

Yae Meixuan, who was standing next to her, felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite figure out what was causing the strange atmosphere between the two of them.

She scratched her head, glanced at Sousuke suspiciously, decided to stop thinking about it, and said directly to Motoko, "Motoko-chan, I'm starving today, may I eat some of your cooking~"

Ever since she learned that Wufang Suzi had amazing culinary skills, she would find excuses to eat her apprentice's dishes whenever she had the chance.

“Okay.” Wufang Suzi nodded earnestly to her.

Of course, Wufang Suzi wouldn't only be responsible for Yae Meixuan's needs.

She first led the two of them to the main house.

As soon as they entered the living room, they saw Motoko's father, Wataru, greet them with a big smile: "Mr. Atobe, Ms. Yae, congratulations on your safe return!"

Besides Wataru himself, his wife, younger brother and sister were also there, standing behind him smiling at Sosuke and Yae Meika.

Motoko Itsuka wasn't comfortable watching her father socialize with others, so she said she was going to cook and then quickly slipped away.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wufangdu eagerly invited the two to sit down in the reception room.

***

Once everyone was settled on the sofa, Gofuku stopped hiding his intentions and got straight to the point: "Mr. Atobe, I'll get straight to the point..."

Sousuke smiled and gestured for Goho to continue.

Wufangdu took a deep breath and bowed his head to Sousuke: "I was blind before and failed to take Atobe-sensei's strength seriously. It wasn't until I saw you fight today that I realized what true strength is."

He paused for a moment, then said, "On behalf of the Gofu family, I formally extend an invitation to Mr. Atobe. Please consider cooperating with our Gofu family and becoming our representative of the Death Frenzy. In return, the Gofu family will offer you very generous compensation!"

Although he didn't know much about the fighting world, he wasn't the kind of person who was completely oblivious.

On the contrary, as the actual controller of a large group, he has a very sharp eye.

Today, Sousuke's defeat of three opponents in the training grounds demonstrated his reliable martial prowess.

But what's even more terrifying is the astonishing power that Sousuke unleashed in those final seconds when he intercepted the fleeing Ham and Bashir. That was the real reason that caused such a huge impact on Wataru.

To be honest, in Wufangdu's more than forty years of life, he had only witnessed such a powerful level comparable to Sōsuke when he watched the battles between a madman-level powerhouse and a very small number of supreme-level masters.

Even the previous representative of the Five Directions Clan, known as "Invincible in Hundred Victories" Katsuki Takehiro, never showed Five Directions Du such a performance.

The so-called "unbeatable" does not mean that Wu An Shengji was truly invincible.

The Wu Fang family's ancestral motto passed down through generations is "stability," which is why, even after several generations of accumulation, they have become a long-established Chinese family.

However, throughout the family's history, every leader of the Wufang family, including Wufangdu's father and grandfather, has been quite cautious and has never coveted anything beyond their means.

Under such circumstances, although Wu Anshengji was only a "top-tier" master, he was already more than capable of meeting the needs of the Five Families.

The five factions only compete for interests commensurate with their own resources and strengths.

Katsuki Muan only plays matches that he can beat.

This is what led to Wu Anshengji's outstanding record of "hundred victories" in the deadly duel.

Seeing that Wufangdu extended the invitation so earnestly.

Sousuke sat up straight and glanced at Yae Meika beside him.

The beautiful master craftswoman smiled and nodded at him: "I've been with the Five Families for a while now. They're quite cautious in expanding their business empire, mainly focusing on maintaining their existing strength. They rarely encounter situations where they have to compete with top-tier companies for profits, so the chances of encountering a 'super strongman' in a duel of death and rage are very low..."

She stroked her chin and glanced at Wu Fangdu indifferently: "Aside from the fact that the head of the Wu Fang family has a bit of the airs of a wealthy man, overall he's quite suitable for your development."

At first, Wufangdu, who was standing next to her, was quite happy to hear Yae Meixuan chime in.

The next thing he did was to bluntly describe him as "reeking of money," which immediately made his smile awkward.

But he endured it.

After today's series of events, he finally understood that although these wealthy and powerful families possess hundreds of millions of assets and have the right to control the food and lives of tens of thousands of people...

However, in the eyes of true powerhouses, they are nothing more than ordinary people who are "enemies within arm's reach".

Just like his younger brother...

Wufang Du's face was gloomy. Although most of the Countermeasures Bureau agents were mainly protecting him today, his younger brother Wufang Shen was locked in a fairly secure solitary confinement cell, and there were other ordinary guards watching over him.

As a result, even under such circumstances, he was brutally murdered inside the house within just a few minutes.

This is enough to show that the lives of ordinary people are indeed like flowers and grass in the eyes of the strong, something that can be taken away at will.

Wufangdu recalled the incredible speed and terrifying power of Sosuke that he had witnessed today.

If someone like Sousuke Atobe decides to disregard official constraints and plots to attack me...

Unless he lives in a safe house surrounded by heavily armed elite squads, or hires powerful guards at great expense, otherwise...

Their fate is certain death!

Sousuke didn't have as many thoughts as Wataru. After hearing Yae Meiken's suggestion, he immediately nodded in agreement.

As for the treatment, there's the veteran powerhouse Yae Meixuan keeping an eye on things, and the previous representative, Takeshi Katsuki, as a reference.

Although Sousuke has never officially fought a match for the Gofuku family, Wataru Gofuku has not played any tricks and has even treated Sousuke as a top-tier powerhouse.

Then, Sosuke realized just how much money a large conglomerate like the Gofuku family could make.

This young girl, Suko, has absolutely no concept of her family's assets. Her casual remark about "hundreds of billions of yen in profit" in the car this morning was complete nonsense.

Under normal circumstances, the profits of the Wufang Group, under the Wufang family's name, exceed 100 billion yen every year.

After becoming the representative of the Five Families' Death Maniacs, Sosuke's fixed annual income of one billion yen was just a guarantee; the real big part was the profit sharing!

If you are strong enough, you can enjoy wealth and honor for a lifetime.

This is in addition to the income level required for this level of income, and the punishment of being targeted and arrested for causing trouble.

The combination of these two factors is the real reason why those extraordinary individuals are willing to accept regulation!

After the cooperation was reached, both the Itako family and Atobe Sousuke were delighted and enjoyed the dishes prepared by Chef Itako Motoko in a pleasant atmosphere.

Because he had finally signed Atobe Sousuke, a promising and powerful figure, Gofuku was in a great mood. He drank a lot of wine at the banquet and kept coming over to put his arm around Sousuke's shoulder, shouting that he wanted to marry Gofuku Motoko to him.

Yae Meixuan was so angry she was furious.

Wufangdu, you old bastard, how could you sell your own daughter?

If you actually manage to sell it...

Wouldn't that mean that Sōsuke, that ox, gets to eat the master-disciple rice bowl?

Wufang Suzi remained expressionless, but her ears, hidden by her long hair, were bright red.

Soon, the simple dinner ended. Wufangdu, still tipsy, originally wanted to see Sosuke out again, but when he saw that Yae Meixuan seemed to have something to say to Sosuke, he immediately hugged his lover and said with a smile that he should rest early.

So, Yae Mei-xuan and Goka Motoko helped Sosuke into the car.

"What, do you have something to say?" Sosuke looked back at his beautiful master before getting into the car.

Seeing Atobe Sousuke's smiling face, Yae Meixuan became more serious because she was in front of her disciple.

She said to Sosuke, "Kid, after today's events, it's estimated that the Serpent Bone Society won't be appearing anytime soon. Like I said, the Serpent of the World rarely fails to accomplish what it sets its mind to. Since they've made so many plans, they must have a specific objective in Japan that they absolutely must achieve..."

She frowned and thought for a moment: "You took down four of their fierce-level experts this time, but you can't let your guard down. Unlike rare supreme-level experts, fierce-level thugs aren't exactly commonplace for that super organization, but their numbers are still quite large. Plus, there's Snake Fang Jiuxin, who hasn't officially shown up yet. It's almost certain that there are still risks ahead. You'd better be careful."

“Hmm…” Sosuke nodded seriously, stroking his chin. “It’s already the end of July. This year’s national tournaments for kendo and judo are being held in Hokkaido. The kendo tournament is on the 5th.”

He continued, "So at least for the next few days, I will stay at the dojo."

Motoko suddenly interrupted, calmly reminding him, "Shiban, don't forget, you're going to Saki's place to see his grandfather tomorrow."

"Ah!" Sosuke paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile. "Motoko, I would have really forgotten about this if you hadn't reminded me."

“If you keep acting like this, Saki will be sad.” Motoko Itsuka said calmly.

Atobe Sousuke scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit sweaty.

Yae Meixuan gloated and mocked, "Tsk tsk tsk, this is what happens when you flirt with other women."
