Chapter Twenty-Six: Endless
Dongwen Maki woke up like a dream, and suddenly looked up, an obvious anxious look appeared on her beautiful face, and she spoke in a somewhat trembling voice.
"Uesugi-kun, can I borrow a phone and use it?"
"I'm going to make a call..."
"It's my uncle's person who came to intercept me today, he dares to do it to me so blatantly, I'm afraid my father will also..."
"I'm going to contact my father!"
Uesugi Kiyoshi stared at Tofumi Maki expressionlessly, and handed his mobile phone to Tofumi Maki from the desk noncommittally.
Maki Tobun dialed a number with a trembling hand, and the look on his face was a little sad.
Time passed by second by second.
Maki Tomoon's expression changed from gloomy to panicked, accompanied by a busy sound from the phone, and finally turned into despair.
She silently exchanged her phone with Uesugi Kiyoshi without making a sound, but there were unstoppable tears in her eyes.
She's not stupid, there's no point in lying to herself.
The number of my father's phone is known only to me, and at any time, no matter what mobile phone I use to call this number, my father will answer it immediately.
This is a father-daughter agreement.
My father broke his appointment.
The snake of Dongwen is not a trustworthy person, and the people in the extreme path who have been killed by his capricious yin have no idea how much they are.
But for his daughter, he never missed the appointment.
What happened, Dongwen Maki already had a vague guess in his heart.
Uesugi Kiyoshi observed Maki Higashi's expression, and although he was a little unbearable, he still said cruel words.
"I got the news five minutes ago, Dong Wenjue is dead."
"He was beheaded by his younger brother Dong Wenyu at the headquarters of the Dongwen Society, and the Dongwen Society officially changed hands."
Higashiwen Maki raised her head violently as if she had been struck by thunder, and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with disbelief and intense sadness in her eyes, her eyes were bloodshot and tears flowing, where was there still the demeanor of the eldest lady.
Although she already had a guess in her heart, her father was afraid that something bad would happen to her, but this kind of bad news was undisguised in front of her, and she would still lose control of her emotions.
Uesugi Kiyoshi can choose to hide from Dongwen Maki, or he can choose to tell her the fact that Dongwen Jue is dead in a softer way - although Uesugi Kiyoshi thinks that Dongwen Jue is most likely cheating to death, but since this Dongwen snake has already laid out the game, then he might as well push Dongwen Maki, so that when he gets paid later, he can be at ease.
He snorted coldly, and there was no tenderness in his eyes.
"Crying, is it useful to cry?"
"If you cry twice, the dead won't live!"
Uesugi Kiyoshi leaned on the tatami and looked at the ceiling, frowning, her voice was cold, and she didn't say some comforting words to this Tobun lady, who had just experienced the pain of losing her father, who didn't have a backache when she stood and talked.
That kind of words didn't work at all, at least, in his last life, when his parents died, he listened to those cookie-cutter words of comfort, and his mood didn't change at all.
What's the use of saying more?
Can man rise from the dead?
Someone is dead, someone is still alive.
Life has to go on, how to live, how to live.
He is more utilitarian and more pragmatic.
"If you want your father to die without turning a blind eye, and the foundation of this life's work falls into the hands of his murderer, you will continue to cry."
"If you want to watch your father's cronies and subordinates be purged by the enemy, and see more innocent people die, you should continue to indulge in grief and evade your responsibility."
"Like this shrine lady, there are probably a lot of people who are loyal to you and protect you, right?"
"You don't care what they're going to become, do you?"
"It doesn't matter if you kill your father?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi tugged at the corners of his mouth and sneered.
"I know you're naïve, but you can't be naïve forever."
"You are Dong Wenjue's daughter, not one of those carefree female high school students of the same age, there are some things you are destined to carry on your back."
"If you just want to cry, that's okay."
"Cry as much as you want, within today, I will protect your safety, for the sake of your father's friendship with my master, I can only do this for you."
Uesugi Kiyoshi closed his mouth, turned his head, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Dongwen Maki took a few breaths with difficulty, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves with a ruthless face.
There was sadness and confusion in her eyes, but there was an imperceptible firmness.
Avenge your father.
This thought grew wildly in her heart, devouring all the reason of her mind and the goodness of her heart, and finally took possession of her heart.
She spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper and let you see the joke, Uesugi-kun..."
"You're right, I'm Dong Wenjue's daughter, I can't just fall here..."
"My father has worked hard for Dongwen Society all his life, and I will never allow this foundation to fall into the hands of others!"
"Even if it's an uncle, it's not good!"
Seeing that Maki Higashimi finally had some fighting spirit, Uesugi Kiyoshi breathed a long sigh of relief.
He was actually quite afraid that Dongwen Zhenxi would collapse and sink just now, and this kind of extreme emotional fluctuation could still easily cause the ghosts and gods to covet it.
She was lucky enough to make it through.
Although it was only a wave of hatred that supported her spirit now, it was much stronger than useless tears.
Maki Tobun clenched the reverse blade ship in his arms, and the flame of revenge ignited in his eyes - the growth of a person may only take a moment.
She didn't know what to do yet, she didn't know how to deal with today's events, but the seeds of hatred had sprouted in her heart and would eventually grow into towering trees.
That's not a bad thing.
Dongwen Maki's character, if he is reincarnated into an ordinary family, there will be no problem at all.
But she was born in the underworld, and that kind of compassionate character would kill her.
I'm afraid this is also the point that Dong Wenjue is most worried about.
Now that there is hatred as fuel, it will push her forward, and it will also make her personality change subtly.
What will become of it in the end, Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't know.
But it can't be worse than it is now, anyway.
"It's good, but don't be in a daze here."
"Did your father leave you anything, such as a token for you to carry with you?"
"Did he arrange to be loyal to your henchmen?"
"Contact your subordinates, gather your strength, prevent the other party from being wiped out, and get the support of your father's allies as soon as possible."
Maki Dongwen gritted his teeth and thought about it, and shook his head.
"The only thing my father asked me to carry with me was the Reverse Blade Boat."
"I... I don't like my father's subordinates, I hate gangsters, I don't have much contact with them. ”
"As for those who are loyal to me..."
"Shencheng!"
"As long as you contact Shencheng, her father trusts her very much, and she will know what to do!"
Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned when he heard a somewhat familiar name.
The young dragon of the Kowloon group, the demon knife of the Dongwen Society.
This is all an urban legend-level existence, and there are bizarre related stories on major forums on the Internet, and he has also heard of it.
Just as he was about to inquire in detail, suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the window.
Immediately after, sirens and loud shouts rang out.
"It's endless, isn't it?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi got up with a somewhat ugly face and looked out the window, his eyes staring.
Demon Knife... Shen Cheng?
