Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 75

Kenichi Uesugi broke off the armrest of the stool. He tried very hard to control his anger, afraid that he might accidentally strangle Shin Fukuyoshi.

"Why didn't you call the police?" Uesugi Kenichi's voice became even more indifferent. If he couldn't give a suitable reason, he wouldn't mind coming over that night to take the lives of these two.

Fukuki Shin swallowed hard; the pressure emanating from Uesugi Kenichi standing before him was as heavy as a mountain.

He was certain this wasn't a misperception.

If you answer carelessly, you could really die here!

“If we call the police, Qingshan Welfare Home will face dissolution due to such a serious incident, and all these children will be relocated elsewhere.”

Fukichi Shin shed tears, “I have worked at the Aoyama Welfare Home for most of my life, just to see these poor children grow up safely and to give these homeless children a home again.”

"I……"

"I cannot see Qingshan Welfare Home being disbanded, I cannot."

Kenichi Uesugi silently watched the weeping Fukukichi Shin. He could feel the old man's love and unwavering devotion to the Aoyama Welfare Home.

However, this cannot be a reason to forgive him, because his selfishness prevented him from calling the police in time. Now that so much time has passed, no one knows where Kagura Keiko is now.

Even whether he is still alive is a matter of doubt.

Morita Daisora ​​keenly sensed the change in Uesugi Kenichi's aura, and felt a chill run down his spine as if his skin were being pricked by needles.

He immediately knelt down on the ground in a deep bow: "We are very sorry that this happened, but everything we did was really for the good of the children, without any selfish desires."

These past few days, two other teachers and I have been searching outside every day. Just now, Dean Fouchi and I were even discussing going to the police tomorrow. Please forgive us. If you are still angry, please take it out on me. Dean Fouchi is too old.

Morita Daisaku looked at Uesugi Kenichi with a pleading expression and said earnestly.

He thumped his head three times loudly on the ground.

Kenichi Uesugi stood up, ignoring the pleading look in his eyes.

A cracking sound of bone breaking rang out.

"..ah!"

Morita Daisora ​​frowned, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He felt that his legs had completely lost feeling.

“Since you’ve done something wrong, you should be punished. Since you’re willing to take responsibility, then you should bear it. But you’d better pray that nothing bad has happened to Keiko, otherwise this is just interest.”

After finishing speaking, Uesugi Kenichi turned and left with Busujima Saeko.

"and many more."

"Is there anything else?" Uesugi Ken didn't even turn his head.

"I know that Keiko Kagura might be there right now."

"explain."

Despite the excruciating pain, Morita Daisaku said, "It's just a guess. It's said that Matsuba is involved in human trafficking, and they've been very active in Tokyo lately."

"Does pine needles know how?"

Kenichi Uesugi withdrew his gaze and slowly walked out.

"Please be careful in everything you do, the Pine Leaf Society is not to be trifled with (the king's goodness)."

After Uesugi Kenichi left, Fukuda Shin immediately helped Morita Daisora ​​sit up and asked, "Daisora, are you alright?"

His face was filled with anxiety as he kept repenting, "It's all my fault. If only I had listened to you and called the police sooner, Li."

Morita Daisaku smiled and comforted him, "Dean, I'm fine. If it weren't for your help, I probably would have collapsed long ago. This leg should be able to be put back on, and after a few days of rest, it should be fine."

Fukuji Shin hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Why did you send him to the Matsuba Society? Aren't you sending him to his death?"

"I don't know why, but that boy gave me a very unusual feeling, and he didn't seem like an impulsive person. I think if it's him, nothing should happen."

Morita Daisora ​​recalled the feeling that Uesugi Kenichi had given him; that hellish atmosphere still lingered around him to this day.

Chapter 148 Ruri Gokou's Despair

"Do you know about the Matsuba Society?" Uesugi Kenichi asked Busujima Saeko.

“I know a little. My father once mentioned that the Matsuba-kai is an organization in Shikoku with considerable influence there. It is said that they have quite a few people in Tokyo as well, so they are considered very powerful.”

Saeko Busujima paused and continued, "Moreover, I've heard that the Matsuba-kai are extremely unscrupulous in their dealings, taking on all sorts of shady businesses. There's nothing they wouldn't dare to do as long as it's profitable."

Kenjiro Uesugi nodded. "Does the government know?"

"They should know some things, but there are also people in the Pine Leaf Society. If things go too far, they will throw out a few people as scapegoats."

"I understand, let's go back first."

"it is good."

After returning home and having dinner, Uesugi Ken began to ponder how to resolve the matter.

No matter what, he was determined to find Kagura Keiko, regardless of whether it was the Matsuba-kai or some other organization.

Now he has the confidence to do these things.

However, there's no point in rushing things now. After all, Keiko Kagura has been missing for quite some time now, and if something really happened to her, she might be found dead by now.

"Young man, I need your help with something."

"No need to bother, I'll support whatever you want to do."

"Please take care of 620 for me during this time, Mashiro, and bring her to your place."

Saeko Busujima hesitated for a moment after hearing Kenichi Uesugi's words before refusing, saying, "I'm afraid I can't comply with this request."

"I know what you're planning, but please take me with you. What kind of samurai goes into battle without a sword?"

Saeko Busujima knelt on the ground and bowed deeply, her eyes filled with stubbornness. No matter what, she would not agree to Uesugi Kenichi's request, even if it meant being blamed by him.

As a daughter of a samurai family, and as the long sword in Uesugi Kenichi's hand, she could not bear to see Uesugi Kenichi go on an adventure alone.

Uesugi Ken looked at Busujima Saeko with tenderness in his eyes and said, "I will take you with me."

Saeko Busujima's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, but then she heard what came next.

"But not now. We can't be sure yet that Keiko has been taken away by the Matsuba Society. I need to investigate first, and I'll let you know when I have the results so we can act together."

"Alright then, do you need me to ask my father for help inquiring?" Saeko Busujima agreed after a moment of silence.

"Not for now. If Huizi is really in their hands, it's easy to alert them."

Whoever kidnapped Keiko Kagura, whatever their reasons, must have had a purpose.

As night deepened, Uesugi Kenichi emerged from the bathroom with a towel in hand. After wiping the water droplets from his head, he changed into a black hooded sweatshirt, and a sharp dagger was strapped to his forearm.

With the added power of the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, this small dagger will unleash a terrifying force.

He had already asked Saeko Busujima to take Mashiro back with him, and he felt very reassured with Saeko's care.

At one o'clock in the morning, he brought us to Shinjuku Ward, the most famous red-light district in all of Tokyo, where anyone with money can enjoy heavenly treatment and the ultimate service.

This area is also one of the most chaotic areas in Tokyo at night, a melting pot of all sorts of people, with numerous criminal gangs having their own strongholds here.

Kenichi Uesugi pulled up his large hood, and a black mask covered everything below his nose, leaving only his dark eyes exposed.

With his hands in his pockets, he slowly made his way through the dark alleyways, his eyes constantly scanning the people he encountered along the way.

Countless crimes, or potential crimes, are about to unfold in these alleyways.

"Help, help, waah~"

A cute little girl was desperately calling for help, but her mouth was covered after she only managed to shout twice, and she could only make muffled sounds.

"Stop yelling. Once you're in my hands, don't even think about escaping. Tonight, I'll show you the pleasures of being a woman, hahaha." Matsumoto Taro laughed wildly, his laughter full of excitement.

Ruri Gokou stared in terror at the man laughing wildly before her, her purple eyes filled with fear. No matter how much she struggled, she could not escape the man's grasp, and her eyes gradually filled with despair.

A deathly stillness rose in his eyes, and his purple eyes lost their color.

She realized that something terrible might be about to happen to her, and the girl in this country was not unaware of these things.

"Haha, this chick looks really hot. I'm going to have some fun tonight."

"Let me go first after the boss is done. He seems to be a middle school student, maybe even a virgin."

Two men standing beside Matsumoto Taro completely thwarted the girl's chance of escape.

Ruri Gokou felt her strength draining away, and the filthy man in front of her looked at her like a cat that had caught a mouse.

It teases the mouse relentlessly until it is completely exhausted before biting it to death.

At this moment, she was filled with regret. Why, after finishing her job at the bookstore, did she still choose to walk down this path so late at night, knowing that it might not be very safe?

If such a thing really happened to her, she couldn't think of any other way but to end her own tainted life.

Hinata, Tamaki, I may not be able to take care of you anymore. Mom and Dad, I'm so sorry for doing something so disgraceful to our family. I hope you won't be sad.

Take good care of my younger sisters. They are still young. I hope they will not encounter such misfortune and can live a peaceful and happy life.

Her eyes were filled with deathly stillness, staring at the man before her like a vengeful ghost, ready to leave him with the most vicious curse.

Da da da.

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the empty alley.

Ruri Gokou looked over in surprise, but lowered her head again when she realized there was only one person.

People in this country are very averse to trouble, and the kind of hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress plots shown in TV dramas almost never happen in reality.

Especially since there's only one person coming, it's highly unlikely that they'll get into any trouble because of a stranger.

Hearing the sound, Matsumoto Taro also looked over, his triangular eyes glaring fiercely at the newcomer.

Da da da.

The footsteps stopped in front of them.

Chapter 149 Wrongdoings Must Be Punished

"Hey kid, I advise you not to get involved in other people's business." Matsumoto Taro pulled out a knife and looked at the man in front of him with an unfriendly expression, only his eyes were visible.

The other two henchmen also drew their knives and stared cruelly at the newcomer, waiting for Matsumoto Taro's order to step forward and stab the pretentious fellow twice.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you."

Ruri Gokou stared at the man whose face was completely covered, and the hope in her eyes dimmed again.

"Get out of here right now!" Matsumoto breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that if he had run into some hothead, his mood for the day would have been completely ruined.
