Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 76

Kenichi Uesugi reached out to scratch his head, but found it blocked by his hat, so he had no choice but to put his hand down.

"Do you know anything about the Pine Leaf Society? If so, could you please tell me how to find them?"

Matsumoto Taro chuckled upon hearing this, released the girl from his grasp, and looked at Uesugi Kenichi. It turned out there really were some reckless young men who weren't afraid of death.

"Kid, looks like you're here to cause trouble. You really don't know what death means. Do you know how many people sink in the Japanese sea every year?"

Uesugi Kenichi was exasperated. Why was it so difficult to ask a question? Since he wouldn't listen to reason, he might as well not blame him.

"I really don't know how to write the word 'death,' could you please teach me?" Uesugi Ken said with a smile of great interest.

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Taro's face darkened, and he charged at Uesugi Kenichi with his knife in hand.

"Danger!" Ruri Gokou shouted when she saw this, but her mouth was quickly covered by the person next to her.

"Go to hell, you brat!"

Matsumoto Taro grinned maliciously and stabbed Uesugi Kenichi in the stomach with his knife. A cruel smile appeared on his face as if he could already see Uesugi Kenichi lying on the ground bleeding.

Just as he was feeling smug, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

A sharp pain shot through his wrist...

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The intense pain made him scream loudly, his face contorted in agony.

A loud "Bang!"

Kenichi Uesugi grabbed Taro Matsumoto's shoulder with one hand and flung him away.

He crashed directly into the wall of the alley, and a mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth.

The sudden turn of events stunned the other two henchmen, who felt as if they had seen the devil.

Matsumoto Taro weighs over 100 pounds, yet he was lifted up with one hand and slammed against the wall. It's something only a devil could do.

Fear filled their faces, and cold sweat poured down their backs. They released Gokou Ruri from their grasp and ran frantically toward the alleyway exit.

"Da da."

The faint sound of footsteps rang in their ears, like a death knell tolling. The two dared not turn their heads and ran forward as fast as they could.

"brush."

A figure flashed by like a ghost. As the two ran, they felt a sharp pain in their ankles and then knelt on the ground. They frantically clutched their bleeding legs and howled in agony.

They stared wide-eyed at the voice that was turned away from them, crying out in terror, "Devil, devil, spare me, spare me!"

Yellow liquid flowed from between their legs, causing Uesugi Kenichi to unconsciously frown.

Kenichi Uesugi grabbed the two by the back of their collars and dragged them back, then threw them next to Taro Matsumoto.

"So, can we talk properly now?"

The three ignored what Qianyi said when he went up the mountain, clutching their bleeding wounds and wailing incessantly.

"rub!"

Kenichi Uesugi plunged the dagger into Taro Matsumoto's ear, his face expressionless.

I don't want to say the same thing a third time!

"Yes, yes, I'll tell you now, spare my life." Matsumoto Taro swallowed back his wailing as he looked at the dagger gleaming coldly beside his face.

The eyes that were staring at him were now filled with a deathly stillness, making his heart tremble. They were more terrifying than any villain he had ever seen before.

.

Like a murderer who crawled out of hell.

"I'm from the Volcano Group, and I have nothing to do with the Pine Leaf Society, but I know where to find them."

Upon seeing Uesugi Kenichi's expression turn extremely unfriendly, Matsumoto Taro immediately said...

“There’s a bar called Random Bar on Miki Street in Shinjuku. It’s under the management of the Pine Leaf Gang. They don’t have much influence in Tokyo. They’re outsiders and don’t have good relationships with some local gangs. Our Volcano Group rarely deals with them. They’re not very particular about how they do things.”

"The Shikoku area is their main base, but Matsuba has been quite active lately, with many new faces arriving. Their main person in charge in the Tokyo area is Hirakawa, known in the underworld as Mad Dog. That's all I know."

Matsumoto Taro spilled everything he knew, like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

He was terrified that if he was even a second too late, the dagger would be stuck in his forehead.

"I don't think you guys are any better at doing things either." Uesugi Kenichi slapped him on the face a few times with a dagger.

It must be said that the simulated battlefield combat was of great help to him, not only in terms of combat experience, but also in continuously improving his resilience.

The dagger slashed into flesh, drawing out gushing blood, but it had no effect on him.

...... .. 0

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry for what happened today. I will never do it again. From today onwards, I will leave the gang and turn over a new leaf."

Matsumoto Taro looked at Uesugi Kenichi with a pleading expression, begging for mercy incessantly.

"You must accept the punishment for your mistakes!"

A cold glint flashed in Uesugi Ken's eyes. His hand holding the dagger moved, and a blur flashed by as something flew out and slammed against the wall.

"Ahhhh!"

The intense pain caused Matsumoto Taro to wail incessantly. He desperately clutched his lower body, realizing what the flying object was.

He stared at Uesugi Kenichi with malice in his eyes, but upon seeing those cold, piercing eyes, his anger instantly subsided.

That's the smell of death!

"Please have mercy and spare me. I will pray for you every day from now on."

"roll!"

Finally, he heard that heavenly sound, grabbed the thing in the corner and ran away as fast as he could. He figured if he went to the hospital now, maybe it could still be used after washing.

Kenichi Uesugi calmly watched the three leave without stopping them, but he looked at them as if they were dead.

He would rather have just killed them, but the current situation wasn't quite right; however, he had already marked them.

Judging from their behavior, they must have done this kind of thing quite often. If it were just for money, that would be one thing, but he had no intention of letting scum like them who dared to lay a hand on women get away with it.

Chapter 150 Gokou Ruri: It Must Be the Demon King

Kenichi Uesugi wiped the dagger clean and put it away, though he would have preferred to just throw it away.

"What are you still doing here?"

Kenichi Uesugi looked at the girl who was cowering behind the telephone pole at the alley entrance with a puzzled expression.

This person is really careless. Instead of running away when something like this happens, they stayed here.

"I'm keeping watch for you," said Ruri Gokou, hiding behind a telephone pole, sounding a little scared, as she pointed to the alley entrance.

She had initially intended to run away, but seeing the fate of the two people who had tried to escape, she stopped herself. She felt that if the other party didn't intend to let her go, she wouldn't be able to escape at all.

Rather than stay here, I might as well stay.

Uesugi Kenichi: "..."

Uesugi Kenichi looked at the girl speechlessly. He was afraid, but she said she was helping him keep watch. Should he call the police again? I'll give "620" a round of applause for you.

"Alright, I won't do anything to you. Go back now. A young lady shouldn't be walking in alleys like this so late at night."

Upon hearing this, Gokou Ruri's face lit up with the joy of surviving a disaster. Her heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down, and she felt a sudden weakness wash over her, as if she were about to collapse to the ground.

Just as her mind went blank and she could only close her eyes in panic, waiting for the pain to come, a pair of warm, large hands supported her.

"Is everything okay?"

When Gokou Ruri opened her eyes, a pair of bright, star-like black eyes were reflected in hers.

She had never seen such beautiful eyes before; she stared at them, mesmerized.

For a moment, he even forgot his fear and wanted to lift the mask off the person in front of him to see what he looked like.

A pair of hands waved in front of her eyes. "Hey, are you alright?"

She regained consciousness, a blush spreading across her face, making the already adorable girl even more endearing.

"I am fine."

Her voice was as soft as fine lines, carrying a hint of panic and shyness.

Ruri Gokou lowered her head and softly replied, "Thank you for saving me."

"It's nothing, just a coincidence. I'll be more careful in the future, because you can't always be this lucky."

Just as Uesugi Kenichi was about to let go of the girl's hand, he felt a force coming from his hand.

"Don't let go, just a little longer, just a little longer." The girl's eyes were brimming with tears, and her voice was tinged with sobs.

Only after she was completely safe did Gokou Ruri feel waves of lingering fear wash over her.

When she realized that Uesugi Kenichi's hand was about to leave, she desperately grabbed him, only in this way could she feel a little bit of security left.

When Uesugi Kenichi noticed that the girl's hand was trembling as she held it, he let her hold it. It was understandable that he was afraid when faced with such a situation.

After the girl had cried for a while and calmed down a bit, Uesugi Kenichi sighed. It seemed that this was the end of the night.

"Let's go, I'll take you home." He brushed the dust off the girl's back and looked at her.

"Thank you."

Ruri Gokou did not refuse; she truly did not have the courage to continue walking here if she did not follow Kenichi Uesugi.

On the way, she curiously observed Uesugi Kenichi, who was very silent and seemed to be thinking about something, and felt very strange.

Now that she had calmed down a bit, the girl realized just how bizarre the events of the day had been.

From her observation, although she couldn't see what Uesugi Kenichi's face looked like, judging from his eyes and hands, he should be a person in his early twenties.

He didn't look particularly strong, but he was incredibly powerful. Three grown men were completely helpless against his skinny self, like lambs to the slaughter.

And the ruthlessness with which he struck—remaining unfazed by so much blood—if she hadn't noticed his shadow, she might have thought she was about to encounter a ghost.

But is that kind of power and speed really something a human can achieve?

Even though the two had run so far, in the blink of an eye, Uesugi Kenichi appeared in front of them and had somehow managed to cut their ankles.
