"I'm sorry, Su Sang." Feng Mo Kotaro bowed and apologized to Su Enxi, "As people get older, they become more suspicious. It was my question that was too abrupt. I will punish myself with a drink."
After saying that, Fuma Kotaro raised a glass of amber martini on the table and drank it in one gulp.
"Feng Mojun is a cheerful person." Su Enxi's smile bloomed again, "Don't worry, negotiation is negotiation. You will only be entertained with good food and good wine, and there is no poison in the food or wine.
We are all people with status, there is no need to behave in a disgraceful way, are you right, Mr. Feng Demon?"
"Su Sang's words make sense." Feng Mo Xiaotaro nodded, but Su Enxi's next words made him slightly stunned.
"When old friends meet, of course I will let you two have a lot of fun... As for arrows, crossbows and poisons, those are things after the negotiation breaks down." Su Enxi smiled slyly, "I am really very talkative when it comes to business partners.
I'm honest, but if I become an opponent, I don't mind stabbing you in the back...so I hope we won't have a moment of disagreement, Feng Demon."
"Su-san, Takamagahara is just a small four-story building. It is not the Genji Heavy Industries Building with a full blockade system and Kaguya, nor is it the Tokyo Tower with no way to go to the sky or to the ground. The gate of Takamagahara is not strong." Feng Mo.
Kotaro raised his long, snow-white eyebrows, "If there is a fight here, the men in black guarding the streets outside Takamagahara will not sit still and wait for death... Susang, I want to remind you that there are not only gangsters among those people.
Elites, and our ninjas from the Fuma family."
"Oh, you're just kidding, Feng Demon, you are too serious." Su Enxi covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's not okay, young girls don't like old antiques who don't understand amorous feelings... Sakurai-san, do you think so?
Bar?"
Su Enxi glanced at Nanami Sakurai teasingly. After last night's confrontation, the scandal about Fuma Kotaro and Nanami Sakurai's youth spread a lot in the Snake Qihachi family, but for some reason, neither the Fuma family nor the Sakurai family had any news.
Anyone ordered to block the spread of rumors, but the two family heads chose to remain silent on this matter quite tacitly.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a young girl anymore." Surprisingly, Sakurai Nanami did not show any angry expression because of Su Enxi's question. Instead, she said to Su Enxi calmly, "Before the negotiation, such jokes were rare.
It’s better to be open-minded. A casual word from a person in a high position may affect the direction of the situation and determine the life or death of many people.”
"What Sakurai-san said is so good, I really learned from it." Su Enxi applauded.
"Where are Caesar, Chu Zihang and the others?" Sakurai Nanami asked, "Are they hidden in the crowd on the dance floor?"
"Hmm? Is Sakurai-san also interested in our red card cowherd?" Su Enxi asked, "Which one is more interested in basarakg or Ukyo? Do you need me to call them here alone? I will ask them to accompany you tonight
you!"
"No, the Sakurai family leader wants to ask... who is Gao Tianyuan's negotiator today?" Fuma Kotaro asked, "Su Sang set your red card Cowherd as a prize, Caesar, Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei
They have to entertain guests, right? Then they don’t have time to negotiate with us? So who is responsible for negotiating with us? Susang, will you come in person? "
"Oh oh oh, I thought Miss Sakurai had fallen in love with one of our cowherds in Gaotianhara. Sakurai-san is so beautiful, and I thought to myself which boy could be so lucky." Su Enxi sighed, "As for Sakurai-san, he is so beautiful.
The negotiator...it’s better to keep this kind of thing a bit mysterious, Fuma-kun and Sakurai-san, you will meet in a minute.”
Su Enxi clapped her hands, and the waiter walked quickly around the corner, bowed deeply to Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami, stood up, and made an invitation gesture towards the stairs from the second floor to the third floor.
Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami looked at each other, followed the waiter and walked up the stairs to the third floor. Just before disappearing around the corner of the stairs, Fuma Kotaro suddenly turned his head and took a deep look at the people standing in the stands on the second floor.
Su Enxi.
Su Enxi bowed to him. The background behind her was dazzling lights and dancing crowds. Su Enxi had a meaningful and unpredictable smile on her face.
Until Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami completely disappeared at the end of the stairs, Fingel lowered his voice and asked Su Enxi: "Is that guy okay? I met him tonight, and he didn't look very good."
"He is currently in a weak stage and has little fighting power." Su Enxi also lowered her voice and replied to Fingel, "But there is no need to tell Caesar and Chu Zihang about this matter. It's enough for you to know. They don't need to know."
"It seems that my senior brother is doing a good job. In his heart, I am the most trustworthy one." Fingel showed a silly smile, and then started to worry again, "But that kid has no fighting ability now. If we negotiate
If things don't go well, what should I do if the old man from the Feng Mo family and the woman from the Sakurai family suddenly get into trouble? Doesn't the junior brother have no room to fight back? No, no, how about you, boss lady, send me up to accompany them?"
"No need, you are responsible for keeping someone around that guy. He is hiding in the secret door at the back of the box. If Fuma Kotaro or Sakurai Nanami suddenly makes any move, he will stop it in time."
"Huh? Aren't you sending Caesar and Chu Zihang to bring the atmosphere to the dance floor? Who's on top?" Fingel was stunned, "Fengjian Liuli? If it's him, wouldn't it be 100% on top?
Is Bai going to fight? Can Kazama Ruri protect that guy in a one-on-two situation?"
"It's not Kazama Ruri." Su Enxi said softly, "But the person hiding in the secret door is definitely capable of stopping the actions of either Fuma Kotaro or Sakurai Nanami... Seeing that person appearing in Takamagahara, Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai
Nanami might be shocked."
…
Due to heavy rain, the Summer Moon Room on the fourth floor was inconvenient to open, so Su Enxi arranged the Spring Flower Room on the third floor for Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami.
The waiter led the two heads of the Snake Qihachi family to the door of Chunka Room, gently pushed open the two wooden doors, bowed deeply and then left. Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami took off their clogs at the door and slowly
Slowly step onto the tatami of the private room.
The Spring Flower Room is one of the finest elegant rooms in Gaotian. Crystal orchids, golden sand chrysanthemums, Juliet roses, Tang phoenix feathers... A wide variety of precious plants and trees from all over the world are blooming on both sides of the box... These are all real flowers.
Specialized gardeners water them regularly every day and prune the branches. Just maintaining these flowers and trees will cost a lot of money throughout the year.
The stream runs across the center of the Spring Flower Room, and an ancient wooden bridge stands above the river. It is hard to imagine that a Cowherd restaurant would actually build such a charming but pretentious bridge and flowing water in the private room.
Something like that. Probably only the aesthetics of a humpback whale in Tokyo can come up with such a design.
However, Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami had no intention of admiring the scenery. They stepped on the small wooden bridge, and what appeared in front of them was an elegant screen with mountain flowers and bamboo birds embroidered on it. The warm light shone through the spring flowers.
I can see a blurry figure reflected behind the screen... This is probably the candidate representing Gao Tianyuan and the Sheqi Eighth Family in today's negotiations.
Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami walked around the back of the screen from the left and right sides. Behind the screen was a long table made of dark wood. On the long table were exquisite and delicious ingredients and drinks, from common sashimi, sushi rolls, to
Luxurious caviar and foie gras, champagne and red wine, hookah and cigars... everything is available on this table.
There was a person sitting at the end of the long table facing Fuma Kotaro and Fuma Kotaro. Seeing the figure sitting across from the long table, the two family heads showed unexpected expressions at the same time.
"Are you the one negotiating with us on behalf of Takamagahara today?" Fuma Kotaro sat at one end of the long table near the screen.
"It's me, Mr. Feng Mo." The man at the other end of the long table smiled and nodded.
"Why is the person in charge of the negotiation not Caesar?" Sakurai Nanami sat next to Fuma Kotaro, looking sharply at the young man at the end of the long table, "Can you represent Kassel College?"
"Senior brothers are busy receiving guests. It's not that they don't pay attention to the two heads of the family. It's just that it's more appropriate for me to be the negotiator this time." Facing Sakurai Nanami's blade-like gaze, the young man talked to her impartially.
They looked at each other and said, "Ms. Sakurai, I never said that I could represent Kassel College. I am sitting here negotiating with you, and I only represent my personal position, Lu Ming."
The person at the end of the long table is Lu Mingfei. At this time, he is wearing a large cherry pink kimono with a touch of makeup on his face. He looks like a kabuki actor about to take the stage... except that this kimono is too big.
It doesn't seem to fit well.
It's not that Lu Mingfei deliberately wanted to dress up so flashy, it was a helpless decision... If you lift up Lu Mingfei's sleeves and collar, you can see purple blood vessels all over his arms and neck, and the blood vessels look like snakes.
He was twisting uneasily, and the manic blood was flowing rapidly in his body. The makeup on Lu Mingfei's face was also to cover up his pale complexion, and his hands hidden in his sleeves could not stop shaking.
This is the sequelae of blood transfusion. The "royal blood" belonging to the descendants of the White King is like scalding boiling water, burning and eroding his blood vessels all the time. If Lu Mingfei didn't have a strong body and self-healing ability,
His blood vessels have exploded in his body... but his body has entered an unprecedented period of weakness. As Lu Mingze said, his current fighting power is probably not as good as those gangsters holding swords and guns outside Gaotianyuan. This is
Lu Mingfei's willpower was so strong that he could endure the unbearable pain without showing any expression of pain.
"What's your position?" Sakurai Nanami looked at Lu Mingfei, her voice slowly deepened, "In the face of the general trend, can your position alone be effective? What qualifications does your position have to stand with the Snake Qihachi family?
Negotiate on an equal footing.”
"Ahem... I think I am qualified, Head of the Sakurai family." Lu Mingfei coughed twice, pinched his arm with the fingers in his sleeve, and tried to keep his spirits up, trying to make his voice less weak.
, "Have you forgotten that I have something in my hand...a bargaining chip that both the Snake Qiba Family and the Fierce Ghosts have to surrender to."
As soon as Lu Mingfei said these words, both Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami changed their expressions.
"Do you admit that the situation over at Hongjing has something to do with you?" Nanami Sakurai asked Lu Mingfei, "Where is Ryoma Genichiro? Did you kill the head of the Ryoma family?"
"Don't be so nervous... Head of the Sakurai family." Lu Mingfei said slowly, "There is a misunderstanding between us... We have said more than once that Kassel Academy is not the enemy of the Snake Qihachi family, and neither are we.
The head of the Ryoma family is fine, just a little injured, and he is being placed somewhere outside the Tama River area."
After hearing that Ryoma Genichiro was not dead, Sakurai Nanami's expression finally softened a little.
"Mr. Lu, before we enter into formal negotiations, I have a question in my mind that I would like you to answer." Fuma Kotaro said.
"I can answer you, Mr. Feng Mo, but the answer is based on trust." Lu Mingfei said to Feng Mo Kotaro, "If you believe my answer, then you can ask."
Feng Mo Kotaro nodded, looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes, and asked slowly: "What is your relationship with Su Sang? Or is Su Sang one of the representatives of a certain force behind Cassel College?"
"Oh, I can answer you this question very sincerely." Lu Mingfei said, "The Su Sang you are talking about is called Su Enxi. She has nothing to do with Cassel College. She is neither a student of Cassel College nor
Belonging to an ancient dragon-slaying family...Su Enxi is just a personal friend of mine, nothing more."
"Personal friends?" Fuma Kotaro said noncommittally, "So you know that Su-san's investment in our Snake Qihachi family was for the legacy of the White Emperor from the beginning? I originally thought that the descendants of the White King, Takamagahara and the 'god' were
The family's top secret was unknowingly known to so many people, including the Fierce Ghosts, Kassel College, and Su Sang... I didn't expect that the family had been penetrated so deeply. No wonder the plan to kill the 'god' has been
The progress is not going well, and the family is on the verge of splitting. This situation is really hard to raise the morale to fight."
"Master Feng Mo, you have tried your best." Lu Mingfei looked at Feng Mo Xiaotaro and said something meaningful, "As an ordinary person or an old man in the underworld, you have done many ridiculous things in your life, and you have also killed people when you made mistakes.
Man, maybe you are not a good person. As long as you are a human being, you will inevitably make mistakes... But as one of the heads of the Sheqiba family, there is no need to doubt your loyalty to the family. You have great justice on your shoulders. This is why
I have always stressed that you are not our enemy, and the Sheqiba family is not our enemy."
"Not an enemy?" Sakurai Nanami asked coldly, "Are you really not an enemy? Have you forgotten what your Kassel Academy did to the Jakikihachi family?"
