I teach judo in Tokyo.

He frowned as he looked at Atobe Sousuke, somewhat puzzled by his behavior.

The opponent's fighting skills are likely somewhat inferior to mine, but they possess special techniques that can disrupt the flow of my power when I'm caught off guard.

After disrupting his posture, the man did not seize the opportunity to attack his weakness, but instead abandoned himself and wasted the precious opportunity to turn around and slap Hideki Yotsuba.

Is this person truly confident, or is he mentally unstable?

I don't understand.

Himuro Yoshiki watched Atobe Sousuke warily as he slowly backed away, pulling up the fallen Yotsuba Hideki.

Hideki Yotsuba escaped unscathed, but his face was grim. He didn't thank him, but stared straight at Yoshimi Himuro: "Why didn't you continue fighting? And, were you not giving it your all?"

Himuro Yoshihiro's face darkened: "Are you questioning me?"

He wasn't really going all out; after all, compared to Hideki Yotsuba's impulsive approach, he needed to consider the organization's plans more.

This plan does not include assisting Hideki Yotsuba in pointless battles.

Hideki Yotsuba felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the look in the other person's eyes.

His expression softened, and he calmly shook his head: "Of course I wouldn't dare question Mr. Himuro, but I just felt that Mr. Himuro's level shouldn't be lower than Atobe's. I'm a little surprised that he was outdone like this."

Himuro Yoshiki gave Yotsuba Hideki a cold glance, knowing he was being provoked.

But this guy is right. The kid on the other side is clearly not as good as him, but he still suffered a loss because he wasn't taking it seriously.

As a martial artist, he certainly couldn't swallow this insult.

However, he still said coldly, "I am here as the representative of your Yotsuba family's 'Death Maniacs,' and private duels are not within the scope of our agreement."

He was warning Hideki Yotsuba not to recklessly use his force out of personal loyalty.

Hideki Yotsuba nodded grimly, glanced at Sousuke Atobe watching the show across from him, and slunk away.

The area on his face that had been swollen by Sosuke was becoming increasingly painful.

He tried to show off but ended up getting slapped instead.

......

Sosuke watched the two figures leave, and then he pondered for a moment.

Actually, he really wanted to have a real fight with this expert called Himuro, so that if he won, he could meet a system privilege upgrade target.

However, this guy seemed much calmer than Hideki Yotsuba and had no interest in fighting him for some inexplicable reason.

His entry didn't even light up.

Sosuke considered that both of them were members of the Serpent of the World, and that the Serpent Bone Society had disappeared. Given his abilities and connections, he would not be able to conduct an effective investigation in a short period of time.

Therefore, we plan to report this information to the countermeasures bureau. It is best to leave professional matters to professionals.

After thinking it over, he turned around and pulled his deskmate along: "Saki, shall we go?"

“Okay…” Yotsuba Saki nodded obediently and followed Sousuke step by step toward the door.

After the two put their luggage away and got into the car, the driver quickly started the engine.

After driving for only ten minutes or so, the car stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Sosuke asked the driver in front of him curiously.

The driver turned around, smiled slightly at him, and didn't say anything, but simply pointed to the view outside his window.

"Dong dong."

There was a gentle knock on the car window. Sosuke turned around and saw the old butler standing outside.

He rolled down the car window and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression: "Grandpa Sebastian, is there something else you need to see me about?"

The old butler said calmly, "Come down, the head of the family invites you."

Seeing the other person's expression, Sosuke seemed to understand something. He smiled, opened the door, got out of the car, and followed the old butler into an ordinary small building on the side of the street with his classmate.

Soon they met Yotsuba Ryuhei, who was sitting inside the house with his eyes closed, resting.

The old butler then walked up behind Yotsuba Ryuhei and stood quietly.

"Grandpa," Yotsuba Saki called out obediently, then went over and took the hand of the old patriarch.

Yotsuba Ryuhei opened his eyes, gently patted his granddaughter's head, and revealed a doting smile.

"Old man, you have quite the refined taste, even having a secret base." Sosuke looked at the two of them from the side and praised them with a smile.

Yotsuba Ryuhei laughed as well, looking at Sousuke: "These are all habits I developed when I was venturing into the Yakuza. It's always good to prepare more safe houses."

He gestured to the sofa beside him: "Sousuke, please sit down."

Sosuke sat down naturally: "Did the old man call me over to give you some instructions?"

Yotsuba Ryuhei waved his hand and smiled gently, "It's not convenient to talk in depth at the family dinner, so I specially arranged this meeting. I hope you don't find it abrupt."

"No, not at all. The one thing I have plenty of is time." Sosuke chuckled.

“Yes…it’s good to be young, unlike me.” Yotsuba Ryuhei coughed lightly, “I’m afraid my time is running out.”

“Grandpa, you’ll definitely live to be a hundred!” Yotsuba Saki immediately retorted in a low voice.

Seeing his granddaughter's earnest and worried expression, Yotsuba Ryuhei's smile broadened considerably: "Of all the Yotsuba family members, Grandpa is most worried about you. But tonight, seeing Saki's arrogance and her willingness to directly confront your good-for-nothing father has truly opened my eyes, hahaha!"

Yotsuba Saki lowered her head shyly: "Actually...actually..."

After stammering for a long time, she still couldn't come up with a good explanation. She couldn't very well say that it wasn't her, but another soul sharing her body, could she?

Yotsuba Ryuhei patted her shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, even if Grandpa gets old, I should be able to live to see my beloved Saki get married."

As he spoke, he glanced at Sosuke with a smile.

Sosuke remained unfazed. "I'm only eighteen. Even if you, old man, want to force me into marriage, I can use my studies as an excuse!"

Moreover, he still needs to continue his great mission of teaching protective techniques. So many disciples are waiting to be taught. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the other disciples if he got married young?

When he becomes invincible, he can easily settle in a country that allows polygamy.

After exchanging a few simple words, Yotsuba Ryuhei sat up straight and looked intently at Atobe Sousuke.

"Sousuke, what do you think of Hideki?"

Sosuke tilted his head and chuckled, "Isn't he just a traitor?"

Yotsuba Ryuhei and the old butler both froze, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

How did this kid know?

***

Forget about being reserved, Yotsuba Ryuhei leaned forward and urgently asked Sousuke, "Sousuke, you need to provide evidence when you speak."

Sosuke shrugged: "You have to have evidence to back up your words, but I don't need evidence for my wild guesses, so just consider it me spreading rumors."

How can he explain this?

There's no way to explain it.

We can't exactly tell the two old men that they can recognize someone just by looking at them, can we?

Do you even know what a "predictor who strikes first" means?

Yotsuba Ryuhei was speechless: "You brat, then tell me why you think Hideki is a traitor?"

Sosuke slumped into the sofa and said with a smile, "Grandpa, with your excellent information network and the butler's expertise, you must know something about what happened to me yesterday, right?"

“Hmm…” Yotsuba Ryuhei nodded. “Yesterday you went to the Five Elements family, and then you wiped out a Yakuza group, no, I should say you ‘suspected’ wiped out a Yakuza group.”

His expression remained calm: "This information is not something an ordinary person like me could obtain; it was Sebastian who got it from his connections within the Countermeasures Bureau."

The old butler beside him continued in a steady voice, "The Countermeasures Bureau didn't tell me that you were the one who dismantled the group. It's just that I guessed it was you based on the fact that the purpose of dismantling the group was to 'rescue Xiao Banruo'."

Sosuke waved his hand: "You guessed exactly right, but do you know why I did the above?"

"Please speak," Yotsuba Ryuhei said calmly. "I am all ears."

He knew that Sousuke was explaining the reason for his "guess".

Sōsuke said softly, "The second son of the Wōfō family, Wōfō Shin, is a member of the Serpent of the World. The Yakuza group I destroyed had a superior organization called the 'Serpent Bone Society,' and behind the Serpent Bone Society is also the Serpent of the World..."

Then, to the astonishment of the two elderly people, he spent about ten minutes reviewing what he had done the day before.

During the review process, he also speculated about which organization was involved in the operation in Japan.

After he finished speaking, he took the water his classmate handed him and drank it all in one gulp.

The two old men opposite them fell into deep thought.

Then, Yotsuba Ryuhei was the first to react. He frowned and slowly said, "So, Sousuke, you mean... Hideki, he might also be a member of the Ring Serpent?"

"More or less..." Sosuke tilted his head. "Of course, this is purely my personal guess, and I take no responsibility for it."

Yotsuba Ryuhei ignored his teasing and turned to look at the old butler, his face serious: "We only thought Hideki's purpose was to inherit the Yotsuba family's wealth, but we never expected him to have this other identity..."

The old butler frowned: "If he only has the ambition to become the head of the Four Leaf Clan, given that he possesses your bloodline, sir, actually..."

“That’s right…” Yotsuba Ryuhei’s voice grew colder, “If he’s just a greedy, ambitious fellow who wants to become the head of the Yotsuba family, I’m certainly happy to see him. At most, I’ll just correct his mistakes in development…”

"But if Hideki really is one of the Serpent of the World, intending to seize the Yotsuba family's offerings to that super organization..."

Ryuhei Yotsuba didn't say what came next, but it was enough for everyone present to understand his meaning.

His eyes held a terrifying flame, like a demon from hell, capable of burning everything.

Seeing that the two old men seemed to have made a decision, Atobe Sousuke thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, I suggest we don't rush to alert them."

"Hmm?" Yotsuba Ryuhei looked at him in confusion.

Sousuke explained simply: "After I defeated three pawns, secured the position of Death Demon Representative for the Five Families, and then annihilated the Red Serpent Group, the Serpent Bone Society disappeared immediately that same day. Now that they've gone from the open to the shadows, they're even more troublesome than before..."

He continued, "To this end, the Countermeasures Bureau is currently planning a countermeasure against the Ring Serpent. If Hideki Yotsuba really is a member of that organization, we might be able to find a way to uncover the hidden agents behind him."

Finally, he looked at the two old men: "There's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If we don't remove all the pawns that this organization has infiltrated at once, who knows if there will be another Four-Leaf Tree or Four-Leaf Grass?"

Yotsuba Ryuhei nodded: "If the Countermeasures Bureau has a plan, then the Yotsuba family can indeed cooperate. However, if it's confirmed that Hideki is a member of the World Serpent, then every day he's involved in the Yotsuba Group's operations is harming the Yotsuba family's interests..."

His eyes were unreadable: "I can't keep him here for long."

It's just a bloodline that was abandoned by an incompetent son. If it really threatens the foundation of the Yotsuba family, then it naturally has no reason to exist anymore.

What's more, this promising young man seems to have a special fondness for my granddaughter...

Thinking of this, Yotsuba Ryuhei couldn't help but glance at Atobe Sousuke and revealed a satisfied smile.

Japan is different from some countries that favor sons over daughters.

Although they do indeed favor sons over daughters, in the eyes of the upper-class families, sons have their advantages, and daughters have theirs.

Even if you only have a daughter, you can still inherit the same excellent legacy by having a son-in-law marry into the family.

Sosuke had no idea what the smiling old man in front of him was up to.

Now that both sides have confirmed that Hideki Yotsuba is a traitor, his ulterior motives can now be laid out for discussion.

Then he looked at Yotsuba Ryuhei with a grin: "Grandpa, you know your family's current representative of the Death Maniacs, that guy named Himuro, right?"

“I know…” Yotsuba Ryuhei said in a deep voice, “It was Hideki who introduced him to his father. In order to recruit this guy, that good-for-nothing Nagayasu paid a lot of money.”

His eyes were gloomy: "This guy has fought in several rounds of Death Frenzy Duels for the Yotsuba family in the past two years. Although he won some matches, he lost in all the more valuable ones. I originally thought that Nagayasu and Hideki had just met the wrong person, but now it seems... this guy and Hideki are from the same place, right?"

He glanced at the old butler: "Old friend, I'm sorry to trouble you again. Find a suitable time to get rid of him soon."

The old butler didn't speak, but just nodded slightly, as if it were just a trivial matter.

Sosuke raised his hand, grinning, and said, "No need to trouble Grandpa Sebastian. Besides, suddenly making a superhuman disappear might alert our opponents. I have a better way..."

Yotsuba Ryuhei gestured for him to continue.

Sousuke's lips curled into an arrogant smile: "The most suitable place to make a superhuman lose their fighting ability in a reasonable way is, of course, the arena where the deadly madmen clash."

He pointed to himself with his thumb: "Recently, I will be representing the Wufang family in a fierce battle for a construction project bid. Originally, it was to deal with an overconfident guy, but now that there's one more, it doesn't matter."

Looking at the spirited young man before him, Yotsuba Ryuhei couldn't help but smile.

"Alright! Then I'll arrange for the Yotsuba family to participate in this Death Frenzy Showdown!"
