Hope in Another World 124

Title: Cutting the Waterfall with One Slash

In the end, Maruo spent a lot of money to hire his prospective son-in-law as a tutor.

And Shun also unexpectedly received an invitation from the Shinomiya family.

Although Kaguya was very worried and told him several times over the phone about various situations in the Shinomiya family, Shun still didn’t pay much attention.

For him, who had the physique of a heavenly being from the Otsutsuki Clan after consuming the fruit of the God Tree, it was still difficult for a chaebol in Japan to pose any threat.

Even with nuclear weapons, it would be difficult to kill him.

Although Shinomiya Gan’an’s mysterious recovery from illness and the sudden banquet might have secrets behind them, for Shun at this time, all the problems in the world were ultimately just a matter of one action.

Just like that, when many people in the Shinomiya family felt uncomfortable and Shun’s daily life was calm, the Shinomiya Group banquet, which attracted the attention of many people throughout Japan, began.

That night, the Shinomiya family’s black car drove down.

After Shun closed his eyes and meditated for over half an hour, unexpectedly, the car drove to the mountainous forest on the outskirts of the city.

As the trees on both sides passed by, he felt a barrier power pass.

A few moments later, he was guided by a servant towards a mansion with beautiful mountains and clear water.

The first thing that caught the eye was the garden with green mountains and green water. This garden was built imitating ancient buildings, full of bamboo forests, wooden houses, lanterns, small bridges, and flowing water.

Entering the bamboo house, Shun saw that the bamboo house was completely empty, and the furnishings were very simple. There were only a few bamboo chairs and tables, and a large “Zen” character hung on the wall.

Next to the bamboo house, without obstruction, there were several people sitting on bamboo chairs enjoying the environment rich in aura.

There was a small river that surrounded the bamboo house, which surrounded the entire bamboo house. Across from the bamboo house was a waterfall that was ten thousand feet high. The waterfall cascaded down from the mountain, and tens of tons of water crashed into the deep pool, creating a loud roaring sound.

A small bridge, flowing water, birds chirping, trees and insects, the roar of the waterfall, like paradise.

If it weren’t for the fact that there were several large long tables filled with all kinds of food, the building next to it was equipped with modern lights, people dressed as servants were busy pouring wine, and high-class people were chatting, Shun would have thought he was not related to modern society and was in a secret world.

He observed his surroundings with interest.

He found that most of them were characters from the chaebol group, and some were dressed indecently, but they all had spiritual power.

Thinking about this, Shun narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Shinomiya Group, with total assets of 200 trillion yen and thousands of subsidiaries, essentially divided the Japanese world with other chaebols.

What was interesting was that Shun saw many people with quite strong spiritual power. Besides Kagure Zenjirou among the Twelve Divine Generals that he met during the extermination of the Twin Horn Syndicate, there was also a middle-aged uncle with terrifying spiritual energy.

“The Twelve Divine Generals are here? Maybe one of them is the current leader of the Onmyoji Agency.”

“If nothing else happens, it will probably be a scene where both sides flex their muscles, negotiate, and finally cooperate to share the cake… However, this is not comparable to Shinomiya Gan’an’s momentum. What else does he want?”

His intuition told him that this was not a simple meeting between the powerful and the onmyoji.

Shun, who felt a little more hopeful in his heart, was about to let go of his thoughts and wait for the continuation of the show, but he didn’t expect an unexpected figure to appear in his field of vision.

It was a beautiful girl with a petite physique, blue eyes, and short brown pigtails.

Although her serious appearance had a noble family feel, just seeing her cute face made people want to bully her.

“Maki…”

Shun waved to her, and as his mind moved, the Master-slave contract miracle ignited in his lower abdomen.

Shijo Maki, whose face suddenly flushed red, looked around, then moved slightly shyly and sat next to him.

Seeing her like this, Shun couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Although there were some unexpected circumstances that night, and Kashiwagi Nagisa was the villainess who forcibly dragged a Maki onto the pirate ship, Shun, who enjoyed her beauty, was also half the culprit.

Of course, he wouldn’t let go of the delicious food he was eating. Firmly, he taught Maki the master-slave contract and the supporting Breathing Style.

Now Maki was quite surprised to see Shun here.

“Wait until next Monday, remember to stay at Nagisa’s house.”

The mischievous young man blew in Maki’s ear.

“No matter how much you beg for mercy this time, I will never let you go.”

Maybe because of the breath in her ear, or she remembered some embarrassing moments, but loudly, Maki’s face flushed red, and she immediately got up and ran away, fearing that she would be teased and embarrassed.

Shun was about to continue teasing her, but at the same time, the contract on the back of his hand lit up, and Est appeared beside him.

Shun let her run away, turned around and smiled, ready to face her, and Est’s appearance also attracted the attention of several Onmyoji.

Especially Kurahashi Genji who observed Shun with increasing horror.

He didn’t know the origin of the shikigami girl who appeared beside the other party, but the terrifying sharpness that lingered in it.

The stronger the Onmyoji, the less likely someone would dare to step forward. The feeling of being struck by countless swords at any time made them unconsciously turn their faces to cover the cold sweat on their backs.

As for Shun, who didn’t pay any attention to them at all, he concentrated on dealing with Est.

The food at the place was delicious, including a whole roasted pheasant with a honey glaze, radish and lentil soup, Lauren Frost’s signature river fish wrapped in spices and steamed, roasted venison steak, grilled steak, and smoked quail eggs, baked barley bread with lots of cheese, etc… For the Shinomiya family, if they were serious, various delicacies from all over the world would satisfy many people.

At this time, Est was staring at Shun’s face from close up.

“Master, I’m hungry.”

“Est wants to eat something?”

“Um.”

Est nodded excitedly and said, “Master, please feed me too.”

“Sure.”

Shun, who had enjoyed many benefits over the past two days, took a piece of freshly baked donut and handed it to her mouth.

“Ah… Master, this is so delicious.”

“Ouch… Est, don’t eat me too.”

Shun showed a helpless smile at Est who was about to eat his finger. This girl is good at everything, but she’s a little jealous.

“Master, please feed me.” Est continued to point to the dessert on the table.

“Est… I really can’t do anything about you…”

Shun knew her desire to compete for attention, so he carefully tore the food into small pieces and put it into Est’s mouth.

“Master, this is delicious.”

Est chewed the food with an expressionless expression… It looked funny like a small animal.

Shun spoiled Est. As the two continued their warm interaction, an uncontrolled voice slowly began to sound.

Almost everyone present looked at the door of the wooden house at the same time.

Under everyone’s gaze, a red-faced old man and a sturdy forty-year-old soldier with a serious face walked out one after another.

“Isn’t Shinomiya Gan’an seriously ill and hospitalized?”

“Why is an old man who is almost seventy years old suddenly in such good condition?”

“His illness has been cured! Apparently last month, he was still talking to us in the ward…”

“Didn’t you notice the person behind him?”

“Master Kitagawa Ittori-ryu, no need for mutation, Master Kitagawa, he’s clearly one generation with my father, he was a skinny old man five years ago!”

“Rejuvenation?”

“Is this really Master Kitagawa?!”

There was a heated discussion from all sides, and Genji and the others, representing the Onmyoji Agency, had serious expressions in their eyes.

After spiritual energy was revived, besides Onmyoji who had very high requirements for lineage talent, they also heard that some powerful fighters had absorbed spiritual energy and entered an extraordinary realm.

It is said that the most outrageous thing is in North America. There was a major spiritual disaster that occurred for several years without anyone controlling it, and even superpowers with special abilities emerged.

Under everyone’s gaze, Gan’an smiled and drew the attention of all the officials present with his movements.

At this time, Shinomiya Gan’an, who had recovered from his health, was the most powerful person in this island nation!

His silent attitude made everyone shut their mouths and wait for his words.

“News is becoming impossible to block. It’s now certain that a new era has arrived.”

Gan’an led the soldier to the large waterfall and said:

“Since everyone is here today, you should see how extraordinary it actually is.”

After saying that, he stepped aside. Master Kitagawa took a deep breath, and he suddenly stood up. A brilliant light came out of his eyes, which were several feet long. The aura in his body surged, like a chasm, even making everyone present feel a little suffocated.

Zenjiro took a few steps back in fear, and Genji narrowed his eyes vigilantly.

“Look, everyone, this is how extraordinary swordsmanship is!”

Master Kitagawa laughed heartily.

His body swelled like a balloon that was floating. His original arms, thighs, and arms suddenly protruded, and soon muscles filled them. Every bone made a cracking sound, and in a flash, the middle-aged soldier transformed into a strong man like an iron tower.

He jumped, stepping on the stream in the air, and rushed down the waterfall. He drew his katana fiercely.

CLANG!

With his sword drawn, Master Kitagawa waved his hand casually, and a sword light several feet long surged. The momentum of this sword was so grand that everyone from afar gasped.

Under the sword light, the waterfall that was hundreds of meters high split in two. The large waterfall split in two in the middle, as if it was blocked by a dam.

Cut the waterfall with one slash!

The large waterfall measuring hundreds of meters was actually cut by this countercurrent!

When many of the officials present saw this, they couldn’t help but gasp and be stunned.

“This is the future world.” Someone couldn’t help but tremble.

“The world has truly changed!”

“After practicing martial arts to an extreme level, he’s no less than an Onmyoji!”

“If we face an enemy like this, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep soundly.”

Even the people present had more or less started to deal with Onmyoji. However, the intuitive and terrifying sword light still shocked everyone’s hearts.

Onmyoji techniques look beautiful, but rarely is there a cold light and a sense of fear of life and death. Moreover, Master Kitagawa has practiced to such a degree that even the Twelve Divine Generals cannot compare.

With a samurai in command, like a special deterrent weapon, it’s no wonder that Gan’an held such a grand banquet.

This is a way to show off prestige to the powerful people from various families and Onmyoji.

Gan’an saw the silence of the audience and walked out with a satisfied smile, again attracting everyone’s attention.

He suddenly took out an emerald green reagent from his pocket and said:

“After spiritual energy was revived, many ancient recipes from ancient times were truly effective, and the Shinomiya Group medical team discovered one effective ancient recipe.”

Shun, the Onmyoji, and the others looked towards the test tube that indeed contained abundant spiritual energy.

“If this potion is drunk, it can cure some deadly diseases that have no hope, and it can also strengthen the body. This is how Master Kitagawa achieved his current condition.”

Gan’an’s words made the eyes of all the officials present sparkle.

Such a powerful medicinal effect made everyone scramble to drink it, and its value was self-evident.

“Although the Shinomiya family’s manpower and material resources are limited to ten bottles a day, if each family wants to get it, please discuss it carefully with the Shinomiya family negotiation team.”

Gan’an smiled and pointed to a group of elite men in suits who had been prepared on the other side.

There will surely be fierce competition to get the rare share, and this reagent business might be able to be sold at an exorbitant price!

Perhaps, the four major chaebols should look for a leader in the future.

Next to him, Kurahashi also had a serious expression and continued to discuss in a low voice with the subordinates of the Onmyoji Agency.

Shun felt quite satisfied watching such a big drama, and felt that he had witnessed a turning point in this new era.

And as he was busy feeding Est while watching the show, Gan’an, who was walking back into the house, suddenly turned around and whispered to the messenger, and soon two guards came to him.

“Takema-sama, the President has something he wants to ask you.”
