Chapter 647: Threat
Out of all the people in this world, he had never expected he would meet this person here. However, when he thought about his identity, he didnât feel surprised. Instead, he felt it was normal for Tokugawa to appear in this place, yet why should he appear?
After all, Tokugawaâs identity, he was the older generation, and everyone should give a face to him. Even his grandfather didnât come to this party and let his youngest son, his father, come, so why shouldnât Tokugawa send his children or grandchildren too?
Still, when he looked at his parents for a moment and knew that it was quite troublesome to explain his relationship with Tokugawa.
âHey, itâs been a while!â
Tokugawa was so excited when he saw Shishio before he let out a sigh and then asked, âBy the way, whenââ
âCough! Cough!â He quickly pulled Tokugawa with an unkind gaze and asked, âWhat the hell are you saying?!â
âHuh? Whatâs wrong?â Tokugawa was confused.
âMy parents donât know what I am doing. Donât cause me trouble.â His grandfather aside, he was sure that his parents, especially his mother, might pass out when she heard his son had been fighting in the underground arena.
Tokugawa was surprised before he nodded. âOkay. I wonât tell them.â If Shishio didnât want to tell his parents, it was okay, and he was going to respect his choice. However, he had to say that even if Shishio wasnât in the arena, his name could still be heard everywhere from the book, manga, and others.
Still, there was something that he wanted to talk with him about, but before that, he asked, âBy the way, what are you doing here?â He thought that Shishio didnât like this type of occasion, so it surprised him to see him in this place. Still, he had to say that his charm was dangerous. He looked at him for a moment, wondering whether he should marry his great-granddaughter with him.
As for the beauty of his great-granddaughter, he had confidence.
Many might doubt him since he was like a shriveled old man. He was definitely far from the description of a handsome man, yet his descendant was different. His wife and the wives or the husband of his children were naturally beautiful and handsome. His descendants naturally inherited this good appearance. Naturally, his descendants were either handsome or beautiful now.
As for why he was only attracted to Shishio but not the fighters in the underground arena, it was because of the status of those fighters.
The status of those fighters in the underground arena was nothing but a peasant. The better one might be an impoverished samurai during the Tokugawa Shogunate period. Even Baki Hanma or Yuujiro Hanma, who was known as the descendant of the strongest human and the strongest human, respectively, were nothing in his eyes. In his eyes, they were nothing but a pawn that would die with the passage of time.
Even Yuujiro would become a shriveled old man and no longer be the strongest human in this world as long as he became old. Baki was also the same. Besides the strength in their bodies, they had nothing after all.
After all, no one could fight against time, and when they were told, they might be targeted by many people since they had made many enemies, including the United States.
Tokugawa knew that they were living in the modern world where the status of a noble or peasant might not seem important. However, that wasnât true. Instead, such status was even more important in the current era since everyone needed to work together, so they wouldnât be swept away by time, change, and history.
However, Shishio was different.
Their status was similar, but his physical ability, brain, and appearance were at the peak or even broke the limit of human capability, or even more. He was like a sweet sugar near the group of ants. All of them wanted to marry him to their daughter or granddaughter.
Shishio noticed the strangeness of Tokugawaâs eyes, which made him feel strange.
âShishio?â
âFather. Mother.â Shishio knew that his action to know Tokugawa was quite strange, but what could he do? This old man was too free-spirited, and he didnât really want to show his overbearing personality to his parents.
Tokugawa felt interested when he saw Shishioâs current appearance before he looked at Shishioâs father. âOh? Are you Takumi? That old guyâs youngest son?â When he looked at Takumi, he remembered how he was.
âYes, sir.â Even Takumi had to bow down in front of Tokugawa since the difference in their seniority was quite high. If the one who met Tokugawa was his father, there was no need for him to do this.
Still, Tokugawaâs appearance made the group become restrained, and no one said anything, only showing an amiable smile since even if the Tokugawa Clan might not be the leader of this country, their presence still existed until now. Lastly, he was also the elder at this party, so he was the most respectful one.
âI have something to talk about with your son for a bit. Is that okay?â
âMy son? Did he do something?â
âNo. Our relationship is good. Weâre friends.â
âFriends?â Takumi was at a loss before looking at his son.
Shishio opened his arms helplessly and felt it was better to talk with Tokugawa than with his fatherâs friends since they were all too noisy for him.
âCome on. Letâs talk there.â
Tokugawa didnât care much about Takumiâs response and led Shishio to the veranda since he needed to remind him of something.
Shishio then excused himself from his parents and the rest of the people before he followed Tokugawa.
Still, at this moment, many people quickly remembered who Shishio was, and their eyes were even more blazing, thinking it was good to marry their daughter to him.
However, Haruno Yukinoshita frowned since she knew her chance to talk with him had disappeared.
âSo whatâs wrong, Tokugawa-san?â
He felt weird when Tokugawas seemed to be quite serious all of a sudden.
âWell, thereâs something that I want to talk with you about.â Tokugawa let out a long sigh, then he looked at him and said, âBut is it only me, or have you become stronger?â Unlike in the past, he could feel that Shishio had become stronger.
âIf you want me to fight, then donât persuade me. The people in your Underground Arena are too stupid.â He didnât plan to visit Tokugawaâs Underground Arena since the people there were too weak, and even if they fought, it would give him nothing, but more importantly, they were all stupid. Weak aside, he couldnât bear to see someone stupid thinking it was okay to provoke him.
Tokugawa didnât deny that since he knew that the fighters in his Underground Arena were all stupid, and they only relied on their muscles to stay alive. In front of ordinary people, they might be able to stand proudly, bullying the weak, but in front of someone like Shishio, they shouldnât do that.
By now, Tokugawa knew that the people behind the extermination of Doppo Orochi, Katsumi Orochi, and Shinshinkai Karate School were, without a doubt, the young man in front of him. Yet did he feel sorry for Orochi? After all, they had been friends for so long, and they had known each other quite a while.
Unfortunately, Tokugawa didnât feel anything and only thought that they were all too stupid, especially when he had reminded them several times. Still, he also knew that for now, the fighters in his Underground Arena were too weak, including Baki Hanma, who always yawned, thinking he was the strongest.
âThis time, I want to remind you.â
Still, the reason why Tokugawa approached him wasnât that he wanted to see him fighting since his appearance fee was sometimes relatively high for him, so he was quite restrained in inviting him.
Tokugawaâs family might not lack the money, but it didnât mean he could throw one or two luxury apartment buildings in the best place without caring about Shishio.
âRemind me?â
âThe ogre might target you,â Tokugawa said solemnly.
âOgre? You mean Yuujiro Hanma?â His expression changed and distorted, wondering what this bastard wanted to do.
âThatâs right.â
âWhy did he target me?â He didnât remember he had done something to Yuujiro or his son. Instead, he left them alone, ignoring them, and living his own life, yet Tokugawa told him that this bastard had targeted him. âDid you tell him about me?â
âNo! No! No!â Tokugawa quickly shook his head in fear since Shishioâs current appearance was so frightening. Shishio was like a wrathful deity, and he might be able to cause a storm or wave. âItâs just⊠itâs just that he heard about the destruction of Shinshinkai Karate School, soâŠ.â
He didnât need Tokugawa to continue, but he knew what this guy meant. âI know. Thanks for letting me know that.â
âNo problem.â Tokugawa shook his head and asked, âDo you want me to help you? I can set up a fight with you in the Underground Arena.â
He didnât hesitate and knocked down Tokugawaâs head. Even if this guy was older than him, he didnât care about that now.
âIt hurts! What the hell are you doing?!â Tokugawa held his head and cried, wanting to complain, but he gulped at him.
âDo you want to see me die that much?â
When he said this, it didnât mean that he didnât have the confidence to fight against Yuujiro Hanma. However, the aftermath of their battle would naturally be quite troublesome, so he had to make many preparations.
When this guy died, without a doubt, his body would naturally become an object of research, and many might create a clone of him to create a super soldier.
This might be like a sci-fi development, but he didnât doubt that someone was crazy enough to think something like that.
As for Tokugawa, this bastard only wanted to see him fighting, satisfying his addiction to watching a fight.
Tokugawa shut his mouth and understood why Shishio was angry. After all, even if Shishio was strong, he didnât think that Shishio could match Yuujiro. âItâs okay. He doesnât put you in his eyes.â However, he quickly covered his head again, afraid that Shishio might hit his head again.
Shishio shook his head and let out a long sigh leaving directly.
âHe-Hey, where are you going?â Tokugawa asked timidly.
âI am going to search for fresh air.â
âOh.â Tokugawa nodded and didnât stop him since who could stay calm when the man who could conquer the United States with a mere body prowess?
Still, what Tokugawa didnât know was that Shishio was calm, but the mood in this place put him in a bad mood.
As for Yuujiro?
He couldnât wait to end the life of this cancer of humanity.
He walked along the passage of flower gardens, making his mood slightly better. He walked in the direction of a man-made lake before standing on the arched wooden bridge, admiring the scenery. He had to say everything in this place was beautiful, yet it was hard for him to appreciate them fully in his current mood.
He kept walking, and he saw an arbor built to appreciate the beauty of the man-made lake under the rain, yet he didnât expect that this place would be occupied. Still, his eyes widened when he saw the person who occupied this arbor.
