Chapter 384: The Hospitality of the Kujo Family
After roughly explaining the information about Ghost Abyss, Soga Hayayuki continued, "Lately, you should be careful of the Kujo family."
Chu Jiang frowned, "Why? Just because I’m partnering with your Soga family, the Kujo family wants to harm me?"
Hayayuki shook her head, "It has nothing to do with that. We have some people planted within the Kujo family. After all, there are power struggles even within the Peaceful Spirit Garden, it’s not all harmonious."
"According to the information from our informant, it seems that the Kujo family has some plans for you, but we don’t know the specifics."
"Could it be related to that Kujo Kazuki?" Although Chu Jiang didn’t browse the supernatural forums in the island country, Hinagiku had vividly told him about many rumors online these past few days.
Therefore, he knew that there was currently a group of people comparing him to the Ghost Master of the Kujo family.
As for how much stronger Chu Jiang is compared to Kujo Kazuki, many people are saying that Chu Jiang can easily defeat him without any pressure.
Chu Jiang doesn’t even know where he got so many "power-ups". Is this what they call a "desire for strength"?
"I’m not sure, but if you’re going to Ghost Abyss, due to public pressure, it’s likely that the Kujo family will also let Kujo Kazuki go along."
"In that case, if this S-class event can be resolved in the end, Kujo Kazuki can also take some credit, at least saving face."
"If it can’t be solved, then it’s not his fault. It’s just that this particular S-class ghost is almost impossible to defeat, beyond human capabilities."
After hearing this, Chu Jiang asked directly, "So the decision-makers at Peaceful Spirit Garden think the same way?"
Hayayuki didn’t dodge the question, "Although we haven’t had the official meeting yet, the final result should be similar. After all, the higher-ups also care about their reputation."
"But rest assured, Captain Chu’s reward won’t go to Kujo Kazuki, not even a single penny. And even if we send him, we won’t force him to be on your team. You can freely choose whether to team up with him."
"Alright," Chu Jiang said nonchalantly, "If he dares to go, it’s still better than the people from BRPD. At first, he wanted to provoke me, but after showing a bit of power, he didn’t even dare to face me, let alone go with me to deal with the false god."
The two of them continued talking for a while, then Soga Hayayuki took the initiative to say goodbye.
As she got up, Chu Jiang deliberately asked about the whereabouts of the mysterious female ghost who had gotten off the train at the Ru Yue Station.
Because that ghost seemed to possess a power that could turn the world upside down, it left a deep impression on Chu Jiang.
Upon hearing this, Hayayuki simply pointed at her own chest without saying a word, then politely nodded at Chu Jiang and turned away.
This left Chu Jiang somewhat stunned. Had he entered the woman’s body? Based on Chu Jiang’s judgment, she might be an S-class ghost with the ability to manipulate space.
……
The next morning, Chu Jiang received an invitation from the Kujo family, inviting him to a banquet.
Of course, Chu Jiang refused. He directly boarded the car prepared by the Uesugi family and headed to the headquarters of the Peaceful Spirit Garden; he planned to examine more detailed information and then set off for the Ghost Abyss the next morning.
It was only after Chu Jiang went to the headquarters that the Soga family informed the other families, saying that they had paid a great price to ask for the help of this powerful expert from Kyushu, and they were expected to depart tomorrow.
As soon as this news came out, the whole Peaceful Spirit Garden was shaken. Did they really convince Chu Jiang so quickly? What kind of agreement did the Soga family reach with the other side?
Meanwhile, while Chu Jiang was looking through the documents, the higher-ups in Peaceful Spirit Garden had already started a meeting to discuss the matter in detail.
The headquarters of Peaceful Spirit Garden is located in the Chiyoda district in Tokyo. This is where the political, administrative, and judicial centers of the country are, and the Imperial Palace and the National Diet are also concentrated here.
Peaceful Spirit Garden is a completely modern architectural style and covers a large area. Chu Jiang was in a high-tech style administrative building, looking through various documents.
Meanwhile, Hinagiku came to Chu Jiang’s side and gave him a live update on the meeting, acting as his on-site translator.
Let’s not talk about anything else, this girl is too enthusiastic. It made Chu Jiang suspect if the Uesugi family was playing a trick?
For example, Hinagiku kept rubbing against Chu Jiang and even took the initiative to hold his arm while speaking, without any hesitation in letting her "weapons" press tightly against Chu Jiang.
Although it felt good, Chu Jiang still pushed Hinagiku away by firmly holding her cheeks and saying, "Go away, little brat."
Hinagiku showed a very innocent expression, saying, "Hinagiku just wanted Mr. Chu to hear more clearly, and I am not little anymore, really."
Just then, on the tablet brought by Hinagiku, a tall man wearing light casual clothes stood up. He spoke to the high-ranking attendees and quickly earned applause.
This made Hinagiku immediately change the subject, "This is Kujo Kazuki. He volunteered earlier to go to Ghost Abyss with you tomorrow."
Chu Jiang glanced at the man’s face, a typical island country appearance. To be honest, he was not as handsome as Uesugi Kazuya, not worth mentioning.
Seeing Chu Jiang’s lack of interest after just a glance, Hinagiku curiously approached, "Mr. Chu, do you think Kujo is not worthy of being your opponent?"
"That’s what you said, not me."
In this way, time quickly passed by as they browsed through information and chatted with Hinagiku…
By noon, Kujo Yoshii, the head of the Kujo family who they had previously met, personally brought Aki over to visit Chu Jiang.
As soon as he entered, Kujo Yoshii had a smile on his face and politely said to Chu Jiang, "Captain Chu, thank you for your willingness to help this time. Actually, our Kujo family has always wanted to establish a good cooperative relationship with you, but the Soga family beat us to it."
"How about this? We have already booked the most luxurious Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Tokyo, a traditional Japanese presidential suite. Would you be able to honor us with your presence tonight?"
Speaking, Kujo Yoshii signaled to his subordinate beside him with his eyes. Immediately, a well-dressed man who was accompanying him cautiously pushed a room card with "THE RITZ-CARLTON, TOKYO" printed on it in front of Chu Jiang.
It is worth mentioning that there is also a bright red lip print on it, emitting a very faint fragrance.
This lip print was not printed, but it seemed like someone deliberately left it there.
Then, Kujo Kazuki approached in a serious manner and said in a relatively polite tone, "Nice to meet you. I am Kujo Kazuki. I have long heard of Captain Chu’s fame."
"Undoubtedly, sir, you are the man qualified to reach the realm of ghosts and gods. You are much stronger than me, just a guy with a reputation."
