Chapter 668: The Belief of the Black Kill Group
By the time Yuzuriha was holding Uncle Kyosuke’s hand and returning to the car, her eyes were already red and swollen.
Uncle Kyosuke had told her everything that had happened. The reason he had deliberately concealed his identity and those events was that he didn’t want to drag Yuzuriha into this vortex. However, now that Yuzuriha had ultimately drawn the “Chizuru” and become a “Mogui” level wanted criminal, as well as the master of the Kotsu blade, there were some things she was destined to face.
Telling her everything was only beneficial for her.
“Dad, the shop is destroyed, Dotonbori is gone, where should we go next?” Yuzuriha looked around at the flattened Dotonbori, no longer seeing the past prosperity and liveliness, and turned to Uncle Kyosuke.
If it had been before, the destruction of the Black Wutong would have made Yuzuriha extremely sad, but now she didn’t feel that way. After all, she already knew Uncle Kyosuke’s identity. For her now, wherever Uncle Kyosuke and her brothers were, that was where the Black Wutong was.
The shop… seemed to have lost its importance.
Uncle Kyosuke stared silently at the completely collapsed Black Wutong club in the corner…
Although Shen Qingzhu couldn’t understand what they were saying, his years of honing his ability to read the room allowed him to vaguely guess their predicament. He turned to Lin Qiye and said, “If you have nowhere to go, you can come back to the Black Kill Group with me. There are many empty floors there, and no one will disturb you.”
Lin Qiye translated Shen Qingzhu’s words for everyone. The others exchanged glances and had no objections.
“Thank you very much.” Uncle Kyosuke held Yuzuriha’s hand and smiled as he slightly bowed to Shen Qingzhu.
…
Black Kill Group building.
The black sedan stopped beneath the building. As Shen Qingzhu and the others got out of the car, they froze in place.
Outside the building, members of the Black Kill Group stood straight at the entrance, unaffected by the pouring rain, like statues.
Shen Qingzhu frowned, seemingly confused about what this group of subordinates was doing.
When they saw Shen Qingzhu appear before them, Inoue Yu and Asakura Ken’s eyes lit up, their faces filled with ecstatic joy!
The leader has returned!!
The leader is indeed alive!!
Thud—!
In that instant, all the members of the Black Kill Group knelt on the ground, their knees hitting the floor heavily, making a dull sound. They knelt in unison, using all their strength to shout in the wind and rain:
“Please forgive us, Leader!!”
Shen Qingzhu, wearing a flowing cloud haori, stood before them, stiffly turning to Lin Qiye, his eyes filled with a plea for help.
What’s going on?
Why did they all kneel as soon as I returned?
What are they talking about?
Lin Qiye quietly walked to Shen Qingzhu’s side, lowered his head, and slightly parted his lips, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear:
“They said, ‘Please forgive us, Leader’…”
Shen Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood the reason behind the Black Kill Group’s actions.
“Leader!” Inoue Yu raised his head with red eyes, “I’m so sorry! You saved us from the Oracle’s hands, and we originally planned to take our weapons back to help you! It was I… it was I who stopped them. I thought that in this situation, we would only become a burden to you in battle!
We abandoned you and ran away; I’m truly sorry!
But the order to not look back was given by me. If you wish to punish someone, please punish me!
I, Inoue Yu, am here to commit seppuku in apology!”
As he spoke, Lin Qiye translated in real-time. When Inoue Yu finished his last word, he raised his upper body from his kneeling position and suddenly drew a tanto from his waist, aiming to stab his abdomen, his eyes filled with determination!
Shen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes, flicked the white ring on his ring finger, and the ring shot out, cutting through the air and accurately striking the tanto’s blade, knocking it out of Inoue Yu’s hand!
The tanto clattered to the ground, and Inoue Yu looked at his empty hand, bewildered, and turned to Shen Qingzhu.
“What… should I say?” Shen Qingzhu muttered softly.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, “I’ll say one line, you say one line.”
“Okay.”
Shen Qingzhu took a deep breath and shouted, “Eight of you!”
This roar stunned all the members of the Black Kill Group. They had never seen the leader so angry.
“Do those gods not see you as human? Do you not see yourselves as human?” Shen Qingzhu’s gaze swept over everyone, his eyes filled with authority and fury. “Dignity is something you earn for yourselves; no one has the right to decide your life or death! We went through so much to save you from the Oracle, and now you want to end your own lives?
Foolish! Absurd! You trample everything about yourselves beneath your feet like this; what’s the difference between you and ants!
How can you dare to call yourselves my subordinates like this?”
As Shen Qingzhu’s words fell, all the members of the Black Kill Group trembled. They stared blankly at Shen Qingzhu, having never seen their leader speak so much in one breath.
In their impression, the leader had always been a man of few words, decisive and swift. This time, speaking so much at once showed that he truly valued them…
So they were actually this important in the leader’s heart?
No wonder… the leader risked his life to fight the Oracle to save them!
The eyes of the Black Kill Group members began to redden.
Shen Qingzhu didn’t even know what he had said. He just repeated whatever Lin Qiye said, but judging by the expressions of these people, it seemed to be quite effective…
“We are very sorry!!” Inoue Yu and the other members knelt down again, holding back tears of emotion, and shouted, “If the gods see us as ants, then from now on, we will no longer worship the gods!
Our lives and honor all belong to the Black Kill Group! To the leader!
From now on, leader… you are our faith in the Black Kill Group.”
Looking at the members of the Black Kill Group kneeling like a tide, Shen Qingzhu slightly turned his head to Lin Qiye, who nodded at him, indicating that it was all settled, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“These are my esteemed guests; clear out a floor for them and take good care of them.” Shen Qingzhu said to Lin Qiye, then ignored the kneeling crowd and walked straight into the building.
Standing aside, Amamiya Haruki looked at him and Lin Qiye’s retreating figures, filled with complexity.
Truly an invader from the Great Xia!
To so easily change the faith of the largest gang in Kansai, redeeming them from the grip of the gods…
What a miraculous country the Great Xia is… If given the chance, I really want to see it.
