Busujima Saeko looked up at the burly old man standing on the roof, feeling shocked and uncertain as to why such a master broke into his home.
Could it be that he is his father's enemy?
Or is it the killer sent by Representative Yasuda during his lifetime? He seemed to have recognized Ling before.
No, this is unlikely. Such a powerful master can no longer be driven by money and power.
He asked me if I needed help. Was he trying to get something out of me?
Busujima Saeko never engages in scheming, but she is not stupid. She will not trust others foolishly when they say they want to help her. Any help comes at a price, unless it is a friend, and the burly old man in front of her is obviously not His friends and elders, what does he want from him?
Busujima Saeko wanted to call Yan Kai, but suddenly hesitated because she was not sure whether Yan Kai could defeat the burly old man in front of her with unfathomable strength. She had already troubled Yan Kai with many things, and she couldn't do it even if she didn't want to. Let Yan Kai fall into unknown danger again.
"Don't worry, I don't mean to hurt you. On the contrary, as I just said, I am here to help you!"
Shige Hōnosuke looked down at Busujima Saeko Road, and at the same time thought in his mind, is it okay for me to say this? I'm here to take on a disciple this time. Wouldn't it be better to be kind? But if my momentum is weak, will it make her think that I am not that powerful? Also, does this posture make me appear to be wise and mighty? Not having a mirror for comparison is troublesome. Damn it, I should have learned how to pose before, I made a mistake!
"May I ask you who is the master?"
After a little adapting to the astonishing aura of Seki Hōbanosuke, Busujima Saeko regained a little ability to move, and she said solemnly to Seki Hōbanosuke.
Still not knowing the purpose of the burly old man in front of him, Busujima Saeko didn't dare to fall out with him rashly.
"'The Second Heavenly King of Yama'!"
Busujima Saeko's question pulled Kobanosuke out of his rich inner drama, and he said in a deep voice.
"One of the Four Great Swordsmen, the 'Nighten Yama King'!?" Busujima Saeko was even more surprised. Others might not know the name of "Nighten Yama King" because Kobanosuke has not appeared in the public eye for many years. However, for Busujima Saeko, who has a family background, it is enough to be called thunderous. This is recognized as the top swordsman in Japan!
But, why is this living fossil in the Japanese martial arts world who has been famous for more than half a century coming to his home? Moreover, he is one of the leaders of the most powerful underground force in Japan, the "Anwu", and the Busujima family is a famous swordsmanship family in the outside world. The two families are not in conflict with each other. What is his purpose in coming to the Busujima family?
"One of the Four Great Swordsmen broke into the home of a woman who lived alone without warning. Is this what a senior master should do? Don't you know the word 'shame'?"
Busujima Saeko responded with words, while hiding Rei's presence.
Even if Shihaku Hōnosuke came with bad intentions, she at least wanted to save Ling.
"It's a joke, I never care about other people's opinions."
The play of the world is brilliant, and the assistant is proud.
The so-called "Anwu" is a person who is outstanding in doing things without scruples, commonly known as shameless. As one of the leaders of the "Anwu", his life drama Huang Benosuke certainly cannot think that there is anything wrong with sneaking into the home of a woman living alone. He does it all the time, and as long as no one finds out, he shouldn't be the one who feels ashamed!
Busujima Saeko took a deep breath. She really had nothing to do against a person who used "shamelessness" as a weapon, especially since this person's martial arts were hundreds of times higher than hers. Even if she wanted to There is no chance of winning even if you resort to force.
Keenly sensing Busujima Saeko's vigilance, Shigei Hōnōsuke remembered that he was here to take on a disciple, coughed, and changed the topic: "I'm here today not for anything else, but for you. !”
What!
Busujima Saeko quickly took a step back, put her hands on her chest, and tightened the skirt of her kimono.
This, this shameless thing, who is obviously old enough to be my great-grandfather, actually has such thoughts about me. It is simply too dirty. I will never let him succeed!
Busujima Saeko looked at Shigei Hōnosuke with shameful and angry eyes, and she even had a desire to die in her heart.
"No...I'm not a pervert. How could I have thoughts about a little girl like you? I don't mean what you think!"
Seeing Busujima Saeko reacting like this, Shigeki Kōnosuke didn't know that Busujima Saeko had misunderstood her speech. He quickly defended himself excitedly, and even the aloof aura he had worked so hard to maintain began to collapse.
You are not a pervert, why are you so eager to explain?
Not only did Seiko Kobanosuke's excuse not make Busujima Saeko relax, but he became even more vigilant.
This obviously excessive reaction does not look like what a normal person should have when facing this situation. Instead, it is a bit angry after being exposed as a pervert.
Feeling that Busujima Saeko was becoming increasingly vigilant towards him, Shigeki Hōnosuke suppressed his emotions and pretended to be a calm and indifferent master: "Don't get me wrong, my consciousness is that I am very I appreciate your qualifications and hope to accept you as my disciple."
No matter what his character is, as one of the world's top swordsmen, Seki Hōnosuke is impeccable in terms of strength, and his swordsmanship is unparalleled. When he proposed to Busushima Saeko to accept her as his disciple, Busushima Saeko There was a moment of excitement, but soon, she shook her head firmly.
"Thank you for your support, but Saeko is a descendant of the Busujima family, and there is absolutely no possibility of switching to other factions. I would like to ask the seniors to give up this unrealistic idea."
Busujima Saeko assists the world's drama Huang Wuzhi.
Although she was afraid that what she said would anger Seiko Hōnosuke, there were some things that she could not give in to. She had always been proud of the Busujima style since she became conscious. She was a member of the Busujima style in life and in death. The heroic spirit of Busujima style!
Busujima Saeko bluntly refused, and Shigei Hōnōnosuke was not too surprised. If Busujima Saeko just accepted his head and bowed to him without any attachment or sense of honor to his own school, then he would not be ashamed of Busujima Saeko. But seeing her refuse so resolutely, Shixihuang Wanosuke felt a little disappointed.
"Don't be too busy refusing. I've been observing you for a long time..."
Shixihuang Wozhizhi said in a deep voice.
Yes, it has been a long time, and I was even imprisoned in a detention center several times. Although finding a good disciple is bound to not be smooth sailing, the suffering is too much...
Shixihuang Wuzhisuke couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of this.
"You, you are following me!"
While Shige Konosuke was feeling sad, Busujima Saeko took another step back, and her chest was protected even more tightly by her.
No, I'm talking about observation, not tracking! Well, I was stalking, but it was benevolent stalking, not the same as being a gorilla stalker!
Shige Kobenosuke roared in his heart, but he couldn't say these words, because even he felt that once these words were said out, he would not be able to explain them even more clearly, and Busujima Saeko would completely beat him into it. The ranks of "perverts", so he held back.
Shixihuang Banosuke coughed and decided to ignore this topic first: "The child you adopted has a big problem."
Hearing that Shige Kobanosuke turned the topic to Ling, Busujima Saeko's emotions were immediately affected.
Although when Busujima Saeko took Rei in, Shigeki Hōnosuke was "loving each other" with his "comrades" in the detention center. He was finally released during the sports festival, and he missed the food and food in the detention center too much. The cold and hard bed went back to the detention center, so he did not witness with his own eyes how Busujima Saeko took in Ling.
But what does Shige Hōnosuke do? He started out as a killer. And what is the most important professional quality of a killer? In addition to killing skills, what is more important is actually the ability to collect intelligence. After all, if you don't even know the intelligence of the target person, and you can't even find the person, no matter how superb your killing skills are, they will be of no use.
After discovering that there was an extra little girl in Busujima's family, in line with the principle of "the disciple's disciple is my disciple and must be carefully observed", Shigeki Hōnosuke immediately sent his men to investigate Rei's origins.
Although Busushima's father made up a pretty perfect false identity for Ling, for professionals, he still couldn't withstand repeated checks. The intelligence personnel of the weapons team quickly discovered the flaw, and then followed Ling and suddenly appeared in The Busujima family's timeline was sorted up, and the major events that occurred within Tokyo were combined. Changes in the "Central" area were quickly discovered. After layers of deductions, Ling's identity was naturally discovered.
The reason why Ling's true information can be investigated so efficiently has a lot to do with the nature of the weapons team.
First, their main business is killers, and they have very good intelligence, especially in the underground world. They also know that the cult has been hunted down like a lost dog in the past month.
The second is that they don't care about the law at all. If they want the information, they will go directly to steal it. If they are discovered, they will rob and find the clues. If coercion and inducement are ineffective, they will go up and use a torture package, which will naturally contain any information. It's available, and it's extremely accurate.
You can still tell lies when facing the police, but when facing those members of the weapons team who kill without batting an eye, if you say the wrong thing, you will be turned into a concrete pillar and thrown into Tokyo Bay. This kind of intelligence has a high accuracy rate. .
That's it, under a simple and crude operation, Ling's hidden identity was quickly revealed by the world drama Huang Wanosuke.
And what happened tonight made Seiko Hōnosuke see the possibility of accepting Busujima Saeko as his disciple.
"Do you want to avenge your disciple?"
Shixihuang Wuzhisuke asked.
Busujima Saeko didn't speak, because she knew that the fruit thrown by the devil was delicious, but the price would be very huge. She was burdened with too many things and couldn't afford to take the risk.
"Even if you don't want to avenge your disciple, can you let her live under threat all the time?"
Although Busujima Saeko didn't speak, Seiko Hōnosuke could clearly sense the wavering in her emotions, and he continued to throw out the second dilemma Busujima Saeko faced.
Busujima Saeko was even more shaken.
That's right, not to mention revenge for Ling, she didn't even have the confidence to protect Ling at this time.
"Become my disciple, and I can guarantee the safety of you and your disciples."
The play of the world is brilliant and authentic.
Busujima Saeko's eyes flashed with light.
In Japan, martial artists have a very high status. They are the privileged class of Japan, but they are not the ruling class of Japan. The ruling power of Japan is always firmly in the hands of those politicians and big capitalists. They can really mobilize the power of Japan. People who are now enemies of Busujima Saeko are really part of this group.
When facing them, to be honest, Busujima Saeko was not too afraid of them using methods such as assassination. She could handle this. What she was afraid of was that those shameless people would use social power to deal with her. Then even if she had no martial arts skills, Even if it is high, it is impossible to fight against social order.
"No, it's not just protection. I can also help you get rid of those who have harmed your disciples. How about this, is this condition generous enough?"
Shixihuang Wanosuke continued.
Busujima Saeko's throat was rolling, and her inner wavering had reached its peak, but she still shook her head firmly: "My disciple will be protected by me, and I will avenge her, so you don't have to worry about it. . Let me tell you directly, it is impossible for me to betray the Busujima style, never!"
The conditions offered by Seiko Kogakunosuke are indeed right in the crosshairs of Busujima Saeko, making it difficult for Busujima Saeko to resist. However, if the principles can be shaken by the conditions offered by others, then they cannot be called principles. I’m sorry, Busujima Saeko Her mind is not that smart, and her principles are not that flexible. She is the kind of person who takes things easy and takes things seriously.
Shixihuang Wanosuke was silent. After a long time, he sighed: "You don't seem to know about our 'Dark Martial Arts'. We just hope that our martial arts can be passed down so that there will be no successors. We don't care about the false reputation, and We also know what our situation is in Japan. You are a talented swordsman with a bright future. There is really no need for you to be unable to survive in the Japanese martial arts world, so I have no intention of letting you defect from the Busujima style. I just hope that you can Are you not willing to accept this condition of becoming my master and inheriting my swordsmanship?"
If possible, Seiko Hōnosuke certainly hopes that Busujima Saeko can directly defect from the Busujima style and become his "dark warrior", but since Busujima Saeko firmly disagrees, he can only settle for the next best thing. .
Busujima Saeko's principles are very rigid. It's okay. Can he be flexible with Busujima Saeko?
He was still looking for disciples when he was very old, and now he doesn't have much room for hesitation. Moreover, if Busujima Saeko becomes her disciple, then Ling will automatically become his disciple. Buy one, get one free. This kind of deal, buy Once you have earned it, there is nothing to worry about.
Seiko Kōbanosuke has shown the greatest sincerity and has not allowed himself to betray Busujima style. Busujima Saeko's resistance suddenly became much less. In the end, her worry about Rei prevailed, and she Finally he relented: "If that's the case, then I'm willing to learn the swordsmanship from my seniors."
"It's not senior, it's master!"
World drama Huang Wuzhi helped correct the way.
"Master."
Busushima Saeko quickly changed her tune.
"I didn't hear you clearly, call me again!"
After working hard for so long, he feels so good!
