Chapter 320: The Beginning and the End
Even after three days here, when he entered the Aoki family's villa again after two years, Ryuichi was still struck by the luxury, luxury, and heavy historical heritage of the place.
Walking through the solemn and heavy gate, through the grand staircase made of precious wood, and through the corridor covered with portraits of the ancestors of the Aoki family, Butler Ueda pushed open a heavy wooden door and stood by the door in an inviting gesture.
"Mr. Miyazaki, please, the master is waiting for you inside." The words revealed the Aoki family's powerful intelligence ability to know the traces of the dragon and his party.
Long Yi held Coco Dora in one hand and the suitcase in the other, and Mo Yan, the demon knife on his waist, collided with the suitcase from time to time, and walked in without hesitation.
This is a study.
A large study, a two-metre-long heavy mahogany desk, a high-end leather sofa, a brown velvet floor stall, and a row of floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto a small balcony.
There is a huge bookshelf on the left and right sides of the study, occupying the entire wall, a thick or thin book is placed in different categories, a middle-aged man in a black suit is reading a book in front of the bookshelf with his back to Long Yi, and when he heard the door open, he turned around halfway, and looked like Aoki Masakazu's father, the head of the Kanto Police Headquarters of the Elf Alliance, and the part-time Interpol Kanto commander-in-chief, in charge of hundreds of thousands of police officers in the Kanto region.
"Long Yi is here, sit down." Aoki Sugiyama put the bookmark in his hand and walked over.
"Hello uncle."
Thanks to his friendship with Aoki Masakazu, Ryuichi is relatively close to Aoki Sugiyama. But the latter has a mature and stable personality, and his mood is invisible, and he belongs to the kind of senior politician who smiles at you and you don't know if it's a real smile, so the relationship is not as close as it seems.
What's more, this time after Aoki Sugiyama was placed under house arrest by Aoki Masakazu, he also deceived Ryuichi to Aoki's house under his pretense, which made him even more vigilant.
Aoki Sugiyama sat down across from Ryuichi with a smile on his face, a very kind smile, like an elder who is loved by the younger generation.
"Don't be inhibited, it's like you're in your own home, you haven't been here for a long time, and since graduating early, Zhenghe often mentions you in front of me, saying that you are an amazing genius trainer."
"Drink something? I have snow tea from Mount Sinnoh Tendo here, or is it a new tea this year, do you want to have some? ”
"I'm looking forward to it." Long Yi twisted his ass a little awkwardly. Although the Aoki Sugiyama in front of him had an amiable smile, Long Yi, whose physique and momentum were becoming stronger and stronger, felt a strong discomfort, and deep down he even had an urge to call up towards that face-shaking punch.
There is no good feast!
Ryuichi understood that this feeling was a kind of vague danger that he felt mentally under the increase of his powerful momentum, and it could not be said that Aoki Sugiyama was hostile, but what he wanted to do was undoubtedly harmful to himself, and he himself knew this very well.
Aoki Sugiyama clapped his hands, and the butler, Mr. Ueda, pushed the door open, and after receiving the order, he ordered the maid to go and make tea.
During this period, Aoki Sugiyama has been with Long for a long time, talking about some things that he has and not, and Long has turned the topic to Aoki Masakazu several times, but he has lightly diverted it.
After a while, a young maid walked in in a maid's costume and poured a cup of clean green tea for Ryuichi and Aoki Sugiyama respectively, the tea leaves were green, but the veins on the leaves were as white as snow.
Long Yi took a sip, but the warm tea was as cold as snow water in his mouth, and his dry mouth was very special and refreshing.
"Good tea!"
"If you like, you can bring some with you when you go back." Aoki Sugiyama smiled gently and took a sip of tea.
Seeing that the conversation had been circulating without nutrition, Ryuichi couldn't help it and took the initiative to speak: "Uncle Aoki, I don't know why Zhenghe was locked up by you?" Why did you come to me under his pretense? ”
“……”
Aoki Sugiyama was silent, putting down the teacup, a trace of sadness and hesitation on his resolute face.
After a while, he spoke: "Because my uncle wants to ask you for help with something, and Zhenghe doesn't agree." ”
Long Yixin said 'here', and hurriedly said: "Uncle, you said, I and Zhenghe are very good friends, and I will definitely help where I can help!" ”
Aoki Sugiyama smiled with relief when he heard this, but it quickly turned into guilt: "However, this is very dangerous. ”
Without waiting for Long to answer, he continued to speak to himself: "Brother Zhenghe, my eldest son needs to carry out a dangerous mission in the future for some reason, and I can't let the senior trainers and martial artists in the security system and Interpol protect me, nor can I ask for help from the powerful trainers I befriended. ”
"The only entourage that the other party agreed to was only one person."
"That's you, Ryuichi!"
"Me?" Long Yi was stunned and pointed at himself.
Aoki Sugiyama nodded.
The dragon opened his mouth, then picked up the teacup and drank the tea, observing Aoki Sugiyama's expression with the corner of his eye as he thought quickly in his head.
I have no grievances with the Aoki family, and even have a friendly relationship, so it is impossible for me to be framed for no reason, so Aoki Sugiyama's words can be preliminarily believed to be true.
Assuming this is true, then it is clear that it is an internal deal between the Aoki family and another force, and this transaction is obviously very important to the Aoki family, so important that Aoki Sugiyama is willing to let his eldest son, Aoki Future, take the risk himself.
You must know that there are not many members of the Aoki family, and there are only two important main veins, one is Aoki Yongxiu, who is a member of the alliance, and Aoki Masakazu's uncle, and the other is the Aoki Sugiyama family.
And Aoki Sugiyama only has two sons, and the second son, Aoki Masakazu, does not have much talent and no inheritance, so he is not very valued.
The eldest son, Aoki Mirai, is the heir of this branch, and he was the mayor of Light Red City before, and now he doesn't know what position it is, but he is not a trainer himself.
The importance of something that allows Aoki to take risks in the future can be imagined for the Aoki family.
And the other party designated that the only entourage could only be himself, so that Long Yi had to suspect that this matter was aimed at him from the root, and Aoki would not be too threatening in the future, so Aoki Sugiyama was so relieved.
But if he doesn't agree, then it is obviously contrary to the other party's purpose, and naturally he will not pay a bait that is enough to satisfy the Aoki family, and Aoki will have no need and value to take risks in the future.
Will the Aoki family allow themselves to refuse?
The answer is obvious.
It was a request that had to be granted!
Who is it that wants to put me to death?
Ryuichi, who had sorted out the order of cause and effect, was annoyed, but he wasn't too afraid.
No matter who shot it, the other party obviously designed the trap based on his previous strength, and he would never have thought that he had stepped into the threshold of the imposing samurai in just one month and became a genuine transcendent person!
Although it can't be compared with those senior elemental-level elves who have learned secret techniques, combination secret techniques, and even special skills, Ryuyi's combat power has been reborn, and it is growing all the time, and his body may break through at any time and become a spirit-level warrior!
When the time comes, the spirit and momentum will be resting, even if an elemental-level trainer is ambushing him, Long Yi will have the confidence to escape, and even fight back!
The calculated dragon looked entangled for a while, looked up and said, "Uncle, I can agree to your request, but before that, can you let me meet with Zhenghe." ”
"Are you sure? It's dangerous. Aoki Sugiyama was surprised, although he didn't allow Ryuichi to refuse in his heart, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
Long Yi smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Zhenghe is my good friend, his eldest brother is in danger, I can't see death without help." ”
"Moreover, I have confidence in my elven strength."
Ryuichi behaves like a powerful and powerful genius trainer at a young age, confident, brave and righteous.
Aoki Sugiyama naturally would not refuse, and nodded in agreement.
Bidding farewell to Aoki Sugiyama, under the leadership of the housekeeper Mr. Ueda, Ryuichi met Aoki Masakazu, who was locked in the bedroom.
"Long Yi, are you here?" Aoki Masakazu looked haggard, his beard hadn't been shaved in days, and he was sitting on the ground in his pajamas, drinking alcohol, "My dad should have told you about that, did you agree?" ”
As soon as Long closed the door, the room was still clean because it was cleaned by a maid, and only two pillows fell to the ground.
Putting the pillow on the sofa casually, Ryuichi walked in front of Aoki Masakazu, sat on the carpet like him, and nodded, "I agreed." ”
"You promised!?" Aoki Masakazu looked up sharply, surprised.
He didn't expect Long Yi to agree directly.
"We're friends, aren't we?" Long Yi smiled.
Aoki was trembling with his lips, a little unsure of what to say, and his eyes were inexplicably red.
He raised his head and poured a sip of wine, tried to hide the emotion in his heart, and pretended to be casual and said, "It's okay to agree, it's okay to agree." ”
Then he began to tell Long Yi about the cause and effect.
The cause of the incident can be traced back to when Ryuichi was a trainer at the Hualan City Gym, when because of the demon cave killer Inoue Shuichi, Ryuichi offended Keiichiro Kinoshita, the former commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Alliance.
After Ryuichi left, Keiichiro Kinoshita lynched and tortured and killed Shuichi Inoue, and learned that Shigeo Ono, the mastermind who bought the murderer to kill his son Kinoshita Daisa, of course, also provoked the leader of the demon cave, Inoue Essence, who regarded Inoue Shuichi as his son.
After that, Keiichiro Kinoshita successfully took revenge on Shigeo Ono by consuming his former favors and avenged his murder.
But most of the favors have run out, and he has lost his umbrella and is brutally murdered by the enraged Inoue Essentia.
In the intervening time, Keiichiro Kinoshita consumed the last of his favors to protect Ryuichi, but was stopped by the Aoki family.
After the operation failed and Keiichiro Kinoshita died again, the remaining people gathered and gave the Aoki family a benefit that they could not refuse, in exchange for a conspiracy against Ryuichi, that is, this time Aoki's future adventure.
"Actually, I thought a lot after being confined, and my eldest brother also told me about the interests involved, it's okay if you accept this task, otherwise my father will send someone to persuade him a second time, and I won't be so tactful when the time comes."
Aoki Masakazu couldn't help but snort when he said the word 'euphemism', and continued to take a sip of wine: "And if you continue to refuse, then the Aoki family will cancel the protection of you, and those big people who owe Kinoshita Keiichiro will not have to pay such a big price, they can easily design a conspiracy against you, and even harm your parents and relatives." ”
"It turned out to be him." It dawned on Long Yi that he remembered the annoying old man.
Aoki Masakazu suddenly reached out and grabbed Ryuichi's wrist, he seemed to have not taken a shower in a few days, there was a strange smell on his body, and his hands were greasy and wet.
"Long Yi, promise me, come back safely!" Aoki Masakazu said seriously.
Long Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm the man who wants to become a master trainer." ”
