All the family heads are silent. Everyone here knows that twenty years ago, Tachibana Masamune was the backbone of the family's law enforcers for a long time. He was the leader of the executive bureau, and the "ghosts" who died under his sword were
"There are countless others. Tachibana Masamune relied on his illustrious military exploits to kill "ghosts" and gradually climbed to the position of head of the Eight Snake Qi Family.
But no one knows that the daughter of this outstanding "ghost" slayer is actually a "ghost", and is most likely the strongest "ghost" in the world. This is indeed an extremely sad and sad thing.
Something that can't be helped.
In fact, both Tachibana Masamune and Eri are the leading contributors to the Heqi Eighth Family. Tachibana Masamune succeeded him as the patriarch and governed the Heqi Eighth Family for ten years, leading the family to prosperity. Without Mr. Masamune, it would have been impossible.
There is no such thing as the Snakeki Hachi family today, but Eriri has always been the most powerful secret weapon of the family to calm people's hearts. She also solved the corpse guard group in the Jiyuan Project that made the entire family unable to resist. In terms of merit and contribution to the family
In terms of level, even among all the family heads present, no one can compare to Tachibana Masamune and Eri.
The heads of the family can also understand that Tachibana Masamune's unwillingness to expose the truth that Eri is a "ghost" is due to a father's selfishness and love for his daughter, just like the parents of disabled children who do not want to expose the truth.
If their children have any flaws, they can use this to maintain their self-esteem. Therefore, facing the recognized hero of the Sheqi Hachi family and a father who loves his daughter so much, none of the family heads here can accuse Tachibana Masamune of favoring Eri.
There is anything wrong with your behavior.
But in terms of the family's great interests, Tachibana Masamune's actions are undoubtedly using power for personal gain.
To seek his own cause, Tachibana Masamune relied on his position as the leader of the family to protect those close to him. As the leader of those who killed "ghosts", he hid the world's largest "ghost" without telling everyone in the family.
In the family, even just to save the people close to them, regardless of the safety of the entire family, they privately raised something as dangerous as Deadpool at the bottom of the Genji Heavy Industries Building, which led to the tragic disaster last night... Although the truth was known
On the surface, the family heads would not condemn or blame Tachibana Masamune for his actions, but in everyone's mind, the trust and reputation of the reliable and dignified Mr. Masamune in the past would definitely be greatly reduced.
In fact, all of these Tachibana Masamune can also think of it. Tachibana Masamune was afraid that in order to counter the king, his statement was not strong enough. The original reason for saving Eri was just for Minamoto, because after him, the person who will succeed the head of the Eight Snake Ki family must be
Minamoto is very close to both Masamune Tachibana and Eriki.
According to Tachibana Masamune's original speculation, Minamoto Chisei would be very receptive to the reason of "raising Deadpool to save Eri"... But Tachibana Masamune never expected that after Minamoto Chisei heard this statement, not only
He was subjected to cruel "ear-cutting punishment", and even the truth that he was raising Deadpool was made public, and his secret was announced in front of all the family heads.
But the other family heads are not that close to the Uesugi family head, and they are even the heads of the Snake Qihachi family. The number of times the other family heads see the Uesugi family head is almost like a lowly street gangster meeting the head of a high-status family, very few.
Of course, the family heads cannot fully accept Tachibana Masamune's practice of hiding everyone and putting the entire family in danger in order to save Eriki. Of course, Tachibana Masamune, a conspirator who is good at playing with people's hearts, also knows what he has given today.
This explanation caused his status in the hearts of the family heads to plummet in the future, but he had to explain it this way, because it was the only reason he could defend himself... and Tachibana Masamune's embarrassing situation at this moment was completely forced by Minamoto.
The patriarch whom he personally appointed actually forced him to the point where he had no retreat or choice. Thinking of this, Tachibana Masamune felt as angry as fire... And what made Tachibana Masamune most uneasy was actually the sudden change in Minamoto's childish attitude.
Variety.
Logically speaking, a Deadpool riot shouldn't change Minamoto's temperament drastically, but Tachibana Masamune didn't know if there was anything else going on. He just felt that this crucial chess piece in his plan seemed to be just right.
An invisible hand slowly removed his chessboard.
"Family heads." Yuan Zhisheng clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the heads of the house. "The following is a summary of the second key point of this meeting."
"Every family head must have known the whole story about last night's 'Deadpool attack on the Genji Heavy Industries Building'. The reason was that the Tachibana family head ignored the safety of the family and concealed the truth about raising Deadpool underneath the Genji Heavy Industries. As a result, all members of the family died.
There are nearly three hundred people in total, the screen wall layer that is of great significance to the family has been completely burned down, the elevator shaft is almost completely out of action, the mechanical equipment has been destroyed, the corridors have been damaged, precious materials have been lost, etc. There are countless." Source
Jiaosheng fully described the losses suffered by the Snake Qihachi family due to Tachibana Masamune, "This incident also indirectly caused the family to be investigated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department because they were too late to deal with the damage caused by Deadpool and concealed contraband. The family suffered a great loss as a result."
The loss of 2 billion yen and the warning will undoubtedly have a significant negative impact on the family's reputation."
"To sum up, in view of the major fault committed by the head of the Ju family, according to the family's laws, the punishment should be..." Yuan Zhisheng said slowly, "the death penalty."
As soon as Yuan Zhisheng finished speaking the last four words, there was silence in Xingshen Temple. Only the fishy cold sea breeze blowing from Tokyo Bay blew into the depths of the terrace, like a terrifying ghost roar.
All the family heads were stunned, and everyone's face was covered with fear and astonishment... Miyamoto Shio even patted Ryoma Genichiro on the side, because he was not sure if he heard it wrong.
Tachibana Masamune couldn't help but change his face. This was the first time in these years that he was shocked because he couldn't control his emotions in front of everyone. His only remaining eye was staring at Yuan Zhisheng. He thought that the other party
He had been in control from beginning to end, but today he realized that he was wrong, so wrong.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the only thing Tachibana Masamune has regretted for so many years. He gave up the supreme power in the Snake Qihachi family and pushed Minamoto Chisei to the top of the underworld.
position, but this white-eyed wolf now bites him... Masamune Tachibana regretted that he did not turn the young man in front of him into a puppet like his younger brother. At this moment, the murderous intention towards Minamoto in his heart almost came through.
Eye sockets gushed out.
"This is too arrogant! It is simply unreasonable!" Fuma Kotaro suddenly stood up, and the old man with white hair and beard was furious, "In the history of the Snake Qihachi family, there has never been a precedent of executing a family head, even the previous head of the family!"
"Master, Mr. Masamune did make an unforgivable mistake, but the prosperity of the Snake Qihachi family today is inseparable from Mr. Masamune's leadership." Sakurai Nanami couldn't help but stand up to plead for Tachibana Masamune, "You have already
The 'ear-cutting' punishment was imposed on Mr. Masamune, which has deprived Mr. Masamune of something as important as his life. If he were to be sentenced to death... wouldn't such a punishment be too harsh?"
"Everyone, the resurgence of the 'god' is imminent. Mr. Masamune has always been our leader against the monsters. He is also the person who knows the king the most. If we lose such a powerful trump card as Mr. Masamune at this critical moment, I'm afraid
In the battle against 'gods', the Snake Qihachi family will be completely passive." Genichiro Ryoma couldn't help but stand up and said in a deep voice that his analysis was very objective.
Regardless of the other family heads' tactful persuasion or generous words, Minamoto Chisheng just listened quietly to each family head's advice and remained silent until the last speaker, the Miyamoto family head, simply said, "I don't agree with it either."
"After Mr. Masamune was sentenced to death", except for Inuyama Ga, every family head present has expressed his position, and everyone's attitude is surprisingly consistent... No one agrees with Minamoto Chisei's decision to "impose capital punishment" on Tachibana Masamune.
"Your generosity really flatters Tachibana. I am extremely grateful and ashamed!" Masamune Tachibana stood up and bowed to the heads of the family one by one. His expression was so touching that he almost burst into tears. "But it is indeed because
My concealment caused such heavy casualties to the family. The merits and demerits should not be generalized. This is the crime committed by Ju. Ju should give an explanation to the family members who died because of me. No matter what everyone thinks of Ju today,
I will gladly accept any punishment imposed. Ju's only long-cherished wish is that the Snake Qi family will continue to prosper and that the souls of those who died tragically because of me can rest in peace."
When Tachibana Masamune said these words, his attention was not on any of the family heads below. His peripheral vision was fixed on Yuan Zhisheng, as if he wanted to catch a trace of emotion or regret on Yuan Zhisheng's face.
The expression... But Tachibana Masamune was disappointed because Minamoto's face was expressionless.
Tachibana Masamune was desperate. He had no choice but to think in his heart and say it was completely opposite. If Yuan Zhisheng really wanted to execute him mercilessly in front of all the family heads, he would have no choice but to
Using the last "method" that was not a solution, he had no choice but to give up the Snake Qihachi family that he had worked so hard for so many years... Just when Tachibana Masamune's hand hidden in his sleeve was holding something, ready to make a desperate move,
Yuan Zhisheng suddenly spoke again.
"Everyone, everyone." Yuan Zhisheng pressed his hands and motioned for all the family heads to sit back down. He said calmly, "What I just said is that according to the fault Mr. Masamune committed, according to the family law, he should be punished with the death penalty.
...But the rules are dead, and I didn’t say this was the final result.”
All the family heads were stunned. After hearing what Yuan Zhisheng said, they realized that things seemed to have suddenly turned around. Tachibana Masamune's hand hidden in his sleeve stopped moving. He looked at Yuan Zhisheng's
His face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was hesitating whether to throw the whole boat down the drain immediately, or risk everything and listen to what Yuan Zhisheng said next.
"No matter what, the head of the Tachibana family is a proud contributor to the Sheqihachi family. Mr. Masamune's contribution to the Sheqihachi family is indelible. Without Mr. Masamune, there would be no powerful Sheqihachi family today. He is a great contributor to the family.
The punishment of 'cutting off the ear' is the maximum I can do as a parent." Yuan Zhisheng said in a sincere tone, "Although this meeting is not the occasion to talk about personal affairs, Mr. Masamune and I
I believe that all the heads of the family are well aware of the relationship that has always existed. I do not have the morality to impose capital punishment on the head of the Ju family, both in public and private matters. The fate of the head of the Ju family should not be judged by me alone."
"Although you have expressed your stance before, I hope that you can formally express your stance again after thinking twice." Yuan Zhisheng glanced at each family head, "Support the death penalty for Mr. Tachibana Masamune, the head of the Tachibana family.
Yes, please place the cup of tea in front of you on the left side of your left hand. If you are opposed to the death penalty for the head of the Ju family, please place the cup of tea on the right side of your left hand. You have three minutes to think about it. Once the time is up, you will use the cup of tea as the cup of tea.
The number determines the outcome of your trial. If the number of cups of tea on the left hand side exceeds half, the execution of the head of the Tachibana family will be carried out immediately in Xingshen Temple."
"Please think carefully, heads of the family." Yuan Zhisheng stood up and bowed to all the heads of the family, "The life and death of the heads of the Ju family depend on these three minutes of yours."
After leaving the fate of Tachibana Masamune to all the family heads, Minamoto sat back down and said nothing.
The entire Xingshen Temple was eerily silent. Even the wind blowing from Tokyo Bay suddenly stopped. All the family heads silently exchanged their eyes and waited with bated breath.
Tachibana Masamune lowered his head, clutching something in his sleeves with his palms... Although he believed that not half of the family heads would choose to let him die, this kind of life and death was in the hands of others, and he
But the feeling of just waiting for the verdict is absolutely torturous to a person's spirit.
These were probably the most difficult three minutes in Tachibana Masamune's life. His troubled life flashed through his mind. The time was short but extremely long, until a sudden high-five at the end pulled Tachibana Masamune back from memories to reality.
, only then did he realize that he was distracted, his palms had unconsciously loosened the thing in his cuffs, and his palms were already soaked with cold sweat.
"The time is up. All the cups of tea on the table are placed on the left side of your left hands. No head of the family agrees with the decision to impose the death penalty on the head of the Ju family." Yuan Zhisheng concluded, "Then this family law will take effect this time.
Invalid."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Tachibana Masamune's actions did make them feel bad, but if Mr. Masamune, who is famous in the underworld, is really executed... maybe the future of the entire Japanese underworld will be rewritten because of this!
"When a man makes a mistake, he must bear the consequences. This is what you taught me, Mr. Masamune. I will punish you with the punishment of 'cutting off your ears' and leave your fate to the judgment of the family heads. My heart is extremely painful."
, but I have to do it, because I am the head of the family, and if I don’t do it, I can’t convince the public." Minamoto Chisheng looked at Tachibana Masamune, "The death penalty can be avoided, but this does not mean that this incident will end like this."
