"Father, do you have anything to tell me when you summon the children?" Shintaro Abe knelt down in front of the old man and asked with a respectful salute.
"Is Fujiwara dead?" The turbid color in the old man's dim old eyes was completely gone. At this moment, his eyes were filled with a deep cold light, like the cold stars on a winter night. When he looked at people, he seemed to be able to Seeing the human soul inside makes one's whole body tremble under this cold light.
"Yes, father!" When Shintaro Abe heard the mention of his most beloved son, Abe Fujiwara, the sadness he had just suppressed surged into his heart again, and he said sadly: "Fujiwara died miserably, and he didn't even leave a body. The child was preparing to Gather the family strength to avenge him!"
"Oh, just die. Everyone is bound to die, and Fujiwara is destined to die!" The old man sighed softly.
The calm and gentle tone fell on Shintaro Abe's ears, but it was like being struck by a hammer. His heart couldn't help but thump, and his color changed slightly. There was a hint of disapproval in his father's words that he wanted to take revenge, but why? He couldn't help but be suspicious, wondering what kind of medicine his father, who had always been scheming, was selling?
As he spoke, the old man's eyes closed slightly, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face, and calm words came out of his mouth softly: "I think back then, our Abe family was so prosperous, and the holy ancestors killed demons and subjugated evildoers. To become a hero that is sung throughout Japan, our Abe family is descended from the Emperor, and has shouldered the sacred mission of protecting the imperial family for generations. Our ancestors have worked hard for this, and there are countless people who have become benevolent. This has created the glory of our Abe family for thousands of years"
As he narrated, the old man's rickety body gradually straightened up, his face gradually gained luster, and his sallow complexion suddenly became quite rosy, as if the dried blood began to flow again. This aging and dying old man was in this situation. Suddenly it seemed to be alive again.
Although Shintaro Abe has long been familiar with these things, the old man's old and gentle tone has an indescribable magic power, and under the pouring of this magic power, the ordinary words give people a feeling of excitement. . He couldn't help but immerse himself in the glory of the family, guess what legendary things these ancestors had done back then, and learn the secrets of the family. Although it had been many years ago, this could not stop people's inner feelings. Curious, my mind is filled with admiration and sighs. I was born at the wrong time. If I had been born in that era, maybe I would also be a legend!
It's a pity that a series of coughs ended the old man's words. After a long time to catch his breath, he became the dying old man again like falling leaves in the wind. He shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that the Abe family has been ruined now. From the royal family to ordinary people, , few people still remember the sacrifices and contributions our Abe family has made for Japan. If this continues, sooner or later, our Abe family will disappear into thin air in the long river of history and cease to exist"
Hearing his father's slightly sad words, Shintaro Abe also felt the same way and said angrily: "In this case, we should let others know the existence of our Abe family. The reason why I agreed to let Fujiwara go to the three-member group was that I hoped that Get on the line with the trio and use their power to prosper our Abe family!"
The old man shook his head slightly and said: "The one you asked Fujiwara to help was not the trio, but Kazuo Abe!"
Hearing this, Shintaro Abe moved slightly, and he was secretly shocked. Why did his father, who had no longer been involved in family affairs, even know this? It seemed as if everything from Fujiwara's death to everything could not be hidden from his wise eyes.
He hurriedly said: "Abe Kazuo is actually a member of our family, and he is also the most favorable candidate to be the next speaker of the three-member family. I also hope to get on his boat as soon as possible. Besides, the reward he gives us is not very high." Low, a full billion yen! It can help us temporarily get through the embarrassing predicament."
The old man's eyes were not dazzled, and he took in all the changes in his expression. He sighed softly in his heart. Among the descendants of the Abe family, Shintaro Abe's abilities are far superior to others. Unfortunately, his only shortcoming is that he is more capable than free and easy. In the face of power, status and wealth, , it is easy to fall into the point of indiscriminate spending and gradually become charming, and it is impossible to maintain a calm mind. This is a taboo for running a family.
He was thinking secretly in his heart, and after a while he harmoniously added: "I also know this. The family has a lot of expenses, big and small, and you are also stretched thin, so you are trying hard to maintain it, so I didn't object at the beginning. Alas, because of this It cost Fujiwara his life! I am also very sad and sad about Fujiwara¡¯s death, but do you know who you should find to avenge him?¡±
Shintaro Abe gritted his teeth and said: "Of course I know. Kazuo Abe has told me that Fujiwara died at the hands of a young man. I must kill him with my own hands to avenge Fujiwara!"
"Do you know the origin of this young man?" The old man turned a blind eye to his aura of wanting to choose others and asked slowly
Shintaro Abe was stunned for a moment and said: "This is not clear!"
"If he can kill Fujiwara, are you his opponent?"
Shintaro Abe¡¯s expression changed and he was suddenly speechless. Abe Fujiwara can be said to be the leader of the next generation, especially since he accidentally obtained the mysterious bead that can control the demon queen for ten thousand years. Even Shintaro Abe may not be his opponent. But then he added: "There are no timid cowards in our Abe family. No matter how powerful the enemy is, we will not succumb to it"
The old man shook his head slightly and said, "You haven't thought about this, so how can you rush to seek revenge on him? If you fail, the Abe family that I have inherited for thousands of years may disappear, and you will be the sinner of the family!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a cannonball falling into the pool, causing waves to fill the sky. Shintaro Abe was suddenly covered in cold sweat, and he leaned down and said: "Father, my child is not thoughtful, I hope you will be punished by your father."
"Forget it, you are also blinded by pain and hatred!" The old man said slowly: "As far as I know, he is very powerful, and the most powerful people in China are basically from the Hidden Sect. This The Hidden Sect is restricted at home but not restricted abroad. I think back then when my family was the most powerful, I didn¡¯t dare to provoke the Hidden Sect, let alone now. Even if we can¡¯t make friends with such people, we will never do it. Make an enemy of it!¡±
"This" Shintaro Abe felt a chill in his heart as soon as he heard that the young man should be a member of the Hidden Sect. At the same time, he was even more grateful. If such a person really died at the hands of the Abe family, the Abe family would soon face the hidden clan. You don't need to think about how brutal the revenge will be to know. And since I can remember, I have never heard my father praise a person so much. Then this person must be not simple. Is such a person capable of making enemies in the current stormy security family?
Yes, Fujiwara is his most beloved son, but everyone in the family can sacrifice everything for the revival and glory of the family. He is not only Fujiwara's father, but also the head of the family who shoulders the responsibility of reviving the family!
Shintaro Abe suddenly slumped down on the stool, and became as sluggish as a deflated balloon. His expression was lonely and desolate. At this moment, he seemed to be dozens of years older. He murmured unwillingly: "Is that Fujiwara's?" Won¡¯t you avenge yourself?¡±
"Of course you have to retaliate!" The old man said slowly: "But it's not to that young man, but to Kazuo Abe!"
"What? Looking for Kazuo Abe?" Shintaro Abe's pupils suddenly tightened. His father's words became more and more direct, but the true meaning behind them became more and more difficult to understand. He really couldn't figure it out. It was the young man who killed Fujiwara. , why do you want to seek revenge from Kazuo Abe?
"Abe Kazuo certainly didn't tell you the origin of that young man? Nor did he tell you that he sent Fujiwara to take action for the 10 billion U.S. dollars, which led to Fujiwara's failure? He also didn't tell you that he lost money in the Venetian Casino. Give that young man 7 billion U.S. dollars. If he loses so much money, then his position in the group of three will not be guaranteed."
"Thisreally doesn't happen!" Shintaro Abe hesitated. At this time, he was shocked by the 10 billion US dollars the old man said. Oh my god, how much money was that? If the Abe family had so much money, would he still need to send Fujiwara to help Kazuo Abe? The family's revival is just around the corner.
When I think of this, my eyes are full of lust and desire. It's no wonder that the Abe family has always been crazy poor. They only have a show, but in fact there is almost no income to maintain the expenses of the whole family. Now that I heard so much money all of a sudden, I couldn't help but feel fascinated.
The old man sighed softly in his heart, nodded lightly, and said with a very calm expression: "Don't you understand yet?"
After hearing what his father said, Shintaro Abe suddenly understood and said, "What does father mean: Kazuo Abe has been using us? He used to, and he wants to push us out to fight with that young man now, so that he can reap the benefits of others." ?¡±
Under the extremely surprised gaze of Shintaro Abe, the old man nodded slightly and said, "You finally figured out who you should seek revenge on, right?"
Shintaro Abe's whole body trembled suddenly, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, and he slapped the table desperately, and then there was a huge sound, gnashing his teeth, the sound broke through the sky, and he shouted in a heartbreaking and tragic way: "Kazuo Abe , I want your life!" After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave to find Kazuo Abe to settle the score. A faint blue light flashed in his eyes, like a wolf's eyes in the dark night, burning with a crazy flame.
"Come back!" The old man's low words were full of majesty that others could not refute.
There was a trace of confusion in Shintaro Abe¡¯s crazy eyes, and the blue light dimmed instantly.?, his clear eyes shot out two cold gleams, he promised in a low voice, and turned around.
"You are also the head of the family, why are you so impulsive? Think more before you do something, and think twice before you act!" The old man seemed to hate the fact that iron cannot become steel.
"My father taught me a lesson, and the child has remembered it!"
"Before you settle the score with Kazuo Abe, go ahead and find that young man, contact him, apologize for the fact that our Abe family was used by Kazuo Abe to offend him, and reveal Kazuo Abe's plans to him!"
"Father, why is this happening?" Shintaro Abe was very puzzled.
"In the gambling battle two days later, even if the young man loses, he will not lose anything, but if he wins, it will be 4 billion U.S. dollars. It will be a heavy blow to his partner Venetian, and it will even cost him his last The Abe family needs a strong partner. That young man is our best choice. If he can become a partner of our Abe family, then with his ability and background, our Abe family can continue its glorious history. The day is just around the corner!" At this point, the old man's face showed a look of reminiscence, his dim eyes became clear, and his divine light was so faint that people dare not underestimate him. At this moment, this shriveled and dying old man was full of vitality.
"But-" Shintaro Abe looked a little complicated. Even though he knew what his father said made sense, and according to such a plan, even he himself yearned for it. But no matter what, that young man was the one who killed his beloved son. Now that he had to put down his body to find him, he always felt a little awkward and uncomfortable.
The old man's face darkened and he said sternly: "Taro, you are the head of the family. You must always consider the Abe family. For the glory of the family, it doesn't matter even if we all are sacrificed! What's more, Fujiwara is dead, we still have Shinzo and Toyohara , and there are many outstanding children. Especially Jinzo, who is so outstanding and has been elected to the House of Representatives, but he is unable to move forward because he does not have strong support. Think more about their future and the rejuvenation of the family. !" At this point, the old man coughed violently again, with an expression as if he might let go at any time.
Yes, how many people have sacrificed their lives for the glory of the family. Now that there is hope, how can I still cling to vain hatred? Shintaro Abe suddenly came to a realization as if enlightened, and said solemnly: "Father, please rest assured that the child will definitely handle this matter. For the sake of the glory of the family, there is nothing that the Abe family cannot give up!"
After Shintaro Abe left, the old man sat alone in the huge hall and meditated. After working hard all his life, he originally thought that by passing on the position of head of the family, he would be able to relax and be relieved of this heavy burden. But Taro really has Adou who can't afford it, and he can't calm down when things happen. How can he be relieved? If he hadn't stopped what happened today, and he had led someone to kill that young man, whether he succeeded or not, it would have been a devastating blow to the family.
Now let him win over the young man. Although the idea is good, it is really difficult to predict what the reality will be like. Will the other party reconcile with the Abe family, and will he be willing to cooperate and support the Abe family? What conditions will there be?
The old man's thoughts were racing and he felt a headache. After thinking about it, he laughed dumbly and laughed at himself: "Old man, old man, how many days do you have to live? Why bother with these things anymore? This world belongs to young people after all. You will go there one day, but if you don¡¯t believe them, what will you do if you don¡¯t trust them anymore?¡±
