At this moment, the Aoki family was welcoming a group of visitors. There were representatives of official organizations and family elders of the same camp. They seemed to have agreed to come together. The time difference between all of them was no more than two hours.
Aoki Daisuke and several elders of the Aoki family personally received these important people in the spacious conference room used by the Aoki family for "family meetings." The bloodline families of the island nation liked to receive guests on the tatami, with rich food and mellow sake. But in a serious situation, they would also put away their enthusiasm and become meticulously serious.
Aoki Daisuke knew the reason for these people's visit. The Aoki family was also closely watching the situation in Tokyo. The battle between the official organizations and the Tenjin Association was not limited to the organizations themselves. The organizations and families that had interests with them were all involved.
The system of Japan was similar to that of Europe. It was capitalism. Strictly speaking, the official organizations were not independent organizations, but they represented a certain camp.
Unlike China, the Bosch family was the Bosch family. Even if they had interests with the big families, they were not bound together. For example, the Buddhist Taoist Association and the Bosch family were in the same camp, but the relationship was friendly. If the Bosch family died one day, the Buddhist Taoist Association would not have much of an impact.
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room.
Aoki Daisuke took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. He coughed and interrupted everyone's discussion. "Everyone, if you have any questions, ask away."
"Is Li Peiyun the helper that the Aoki family invited?" A middle-aged man holding a sword and wearing a samurai suit stood up. His tone was calm, and his eyes were bright. He gave people a feeling that he was showing off his ability.
He was like an ancient samurai born before the Meiji Restoration, walking with a sword and fighting with people at any time.
Kobayashi Jiro, the current head of the Kobayashi family. He was the most talented swordsman in the Kobayashi family in the past fifty years. He had traveled to Europe, America, and China. After his useless brother was assassinated, he had to take over the position of the head of the family, ending the road of sharpening his sword skills.
"No." Daisuke Aoki shook his head.
His answer surprised everyone. Li Peiyun had killed more than a dozen of Tenjin's cadres in Tokyo, striking a blow to Tenjin's arrogance. Although it also made the battle between the two sides more intense, it was very exciting news for the major forces in the official camp.
There were rumors that Li Peiyun was the external help that the Aoki Family had invited. After all, he had visited the Aoki Family a few days ago. The Aoki Family was the only family that had contact with Li Peiyun.
I knew you wouldn't believe me. Daisuke Aoki smiled bitterly in his heart.
"If he wasn't invited by you, then why did he pay a visit to the Aoki family a few days ago, and why did he want to kill the officers of the Tenjin Association?" Someone asked.
"I also want to know, but everyone, the Qingmu Clan does not have a deeper understanding of this matter than all of you." An elder of the Qingmu Clan shook his head.
"Isn't he here for your Kurumi Aoki?" someone asked curiously.
Why do you think he is here for Kurumi Aoki? Daisuke Aoki frowned unhappily. He looked around and saw that most people had the same expression.
Damn it, you idiots. Do you think that Kurumi is a slutty girl? No, they think that all the girls in the Aoki Family are slutty women.
Stop your dirty thoughts. Our Kurumi is as pure as ice and as clean as jade.
This was the way of thinking of the families with a little history in Japan. The girls of the Aoki Family were high and mighty goddesses in the eyes of individual cultivators or the blood descendants of small families. However, in the eyes of the families with a long history and forces, the girls of the Aoki Family were naturally labeled as "social butterflies."
Daisuke Aoki hated this label, but he often felt helpless because it was a problem left over from history. After the end of World War II, the Aoki Family fell into a low point because of the death of all the masters in the family in the Panshen Palace. It was true that the girls in the family, who were famous for their beauty, pleased many powerful people, including the military officers of the United States and the masters of the superpower organizations.
They used this to fight for a chance to breathe and squeeze back into the ranks of the top forces in Japan's economic recovery after the war.
It had only been a few decades, and it was not enough to wash away the impression of "social butterflies." Many of the old people who had lived through that era were still alive and well. They might even say that the women of the Aoki Family were rare beauties when they talked to their juniors.
Ever since the Dao Discussion Conference, Kurumi's reputation in Japan had plummeted. It was inevitable that they would make such a guess.
The Aoki Family had always valued Kurumi Aoki. They were waiting for the right price to sell her. They would either marry her to a super force or a super genius to maximize the benefits.
Everyone in the family was heartbroken by the decline of Kurumi Aoki's reputation. It was all Li Xianyu's fault.
It was difficult to find such a force in Japan. After all, the Aoki Family was a giant in the world of Blood Descendants. It would be a waste of Kurumi Aoki's beauty to marry someone of the same background. If Kurumi Aoki was born in ancient times, she would be a woman who would be offered to the emperor. As for super geniuses, the boss of Bosch was the only one in Asia who had achieved half-step into Extreme Dao at such a young age.
In recent decades, as the national power of the countries in Europe declined, the Bloodline World also declined. The Blood Knights or Dragon Knights of the Vatican were good candidates, but the Aoki Family did not have much interaction with the Vatican.
There were a few excellent heirs in America, but the Aoki Family was still observing them.
Daisuke Aoki sighed in his heart and said expressionlessly, "Kurumi Aoki is just a child. She is not the topic of our discussion."
Since he had said so, everyone stopped talking about the topic of Kurumi Aoki and Li Peiyun's relationship.
"Li Peiyun's appearance has completely disrupted our rhythm," Kobayashi Jiro said in a low voice.
The government and the Tenshin Association were in a cold war. Even though everyone knew that a battle would happen sooner or later, it did not mean that everyone was ready or wanted to start a war.
Usually, a battle of this level would be arranged in advance in terms of politics, business, equipment, and other aspects. Once everything was ready, the members of the organization would be motivated, and then they would look for an opportunity to start a war.
It was not a street brawl between gangsters. They could fight to the death with a baseball bat and a machete after setting a time and place.
Li Peiyun's appearance broke the stalemate between the Tenshin Association and the government, and lit the fuse in advance.
"Now the outside world is saying that he is our external help. If he is not, then we must clarify it."
"Clarify? Tell the Tenshin Association that we didn't invite Li Peiyun, and we don't have the guts to do anything to you? Idiot, won't the outside world laugh at the government for being cowards? "
"And the Tenshin Association may not believe it."
"But we are in a passive position because we are not ready for a decisive battle."
"The Tenshin Association is in a more passive position than us. The battle has not even started, and they are already scared."
The big figures who represented half of the government were arguing endlessly.
"Everyone, I think we should not consider whether to fight or not, but how to fight and how to win." Aoki Daisuke's tone was calm. "The decisive battle between us and the Tenshin Association will come sooner or later. The appearance of Li Peiyun is an accident, but it may also be an opportunity. Everyone knows that he is not an ordinary top S-class. He has an invincible sword of qi. "
In Japan, where even half-step extreme masters were rare, a top S-class was very useful. They could complete important tasks such as beheading, assassination, and so on. This was the role of a super master. They were not used to break through the enemy lines, but to deter and decide the outcome.
Kobayashi Jiro frowned. "Aokiki-kun, you think too highly of Li Peiyun. No matter how strong he is, he is only in the realm of the Ten Gods of Bosch. In the top S-class, being able to fight one against two and three is his limit. "
Kobayashi Jiro's eyes were very sharp. Although he had never seen Li Peiyun, he was also an expert in this position. It was not difficult for him to guess Li Peiyun's strength.
Aoki Daisuke could not help but recall the battle between Li Peiyun and Kuri Aoki a few days ago. Just by looking at Li Peiyun's state at that time, it would not be difficult for him to deal with two or three Kuri Aoki. After the battle, Kuri's evaluation was "unfathomable."
One should know that Kuri Aoki was much stronger than the average top S-class. For example, she could fight two of the scum family, Azurewood Ryuzai, who had secretly joined the Tengu Society.
Aoki Daisuke shook his head. "Kobayashi-kun, you have underestimated him. If I am not wrong, Li Peiyun is very close to half-step extreme master. He might even be an expert at that level. "
The big figures were slightly stunned. Aoki Daisuke actually thought so highly of Li Peiyun.
Half-step extreme master? How is that possible?
Kobayashi Jiro thought for a moment and asked, "Aokiki-kun, do you know where he is now? I will visit him with the etiquette of a warrior and challenge him. I will personally test his strength. "
Just as Aoki Daisuke was about to shake his head, one of the clansmen he had stationed outside the meeting room knocked on the door.
"Nissan, Li Peiyun is here," the clansman pushed the door open and whispered in his ear.
Everyone present was an expert, and the meeting room was quiet, so they heard it immediately.
Kobayashi Jiro thought to himself, "Li Peiyun is the Cao Cao of Chinese. Speak of him, and he will come."
Aoki Daisuke pondered for a moment. He had originally wanted to get someone to bring Li Peiyun in, but after considering the occasion, he changed his mind. He stood up and said, "Everyone, please wait a moment. I will go receive him. If he is willing, I will bring him to you. "
