She is the eldest daughter of the Tendo family. No one knows better than her how powerful the Tendo family is. She knows very well that the possibility of her revenge is very slim.
She also knew that if she planned to take revenge, Rentaro Satomi would definitely stop her and stand against her. The Tokyo district today cannot do without the Tendo family.
The knife in her hand would show no mercy at that time - as she grew older day by day, she was ready to fight with Rentaro Satomi.
Sooner or later this day will come.
At this moment, Tendo Mu was even more confused.
Although she didn't know who Su Qing was, she believed that since Su Qing had promised her, he would be able to do it.
Give up Rentaro Satomi and choose to take revenge on the Tendo family?
Rentaro's safety... No, shouldn't she do things like revenge herself?
But if she gives up revenge and chooses to save Rentaro, it will become an obstacle to revenge.
How long would it take for her to find a chance for revenge? Who could guarantee that her enemies wouldn't die of old age during this period, and she wouldn't even have a chance to avenge her parents?
Since I'm already prepared to fight Rentaro, I might as well just not save her...
But how can that be possible?
Tendou Mugen shook his head suddenly, slapped himself twice, gritted his teeth, and said resolutely: "Please spare Satomi Rentaro's life."
She finally made her choice.
Su Qing looked into the darkness and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Tiantong?"
"Stupid, I don't remember you being such a weak child, Kisara."
A cold snort came from the corner of the dojo, followed by the sound of a cane tapping on the floor, and an old man emerged from the darkness.
"...Heh, don't think you know me very well." Tendo Mugen sneered.
Tendou Kikunojo only glanced at his granddaughter, then turned to look at Su Qing: "I greet you, my Lord."
Su Qing smiled and said, "Why did you come back?"
Tendou Kikunosho said bluntly: "I just want to die."
"I have thought about not killing you." Su Qing shrugged. He disliked Tendo Kikunosuke and was dissatisfied with the treatment of the Cursed Children of Tokyo. Tendo Kikunosuke was in fact one of the culprits, but... he would not harm the interests of Kyushu just to vent his anger.
Even though this century's Kyushu did not give birth to him and raise him, after all, the culture and history are the same, and there is some kind of kinship between them.
Kyushu and Tokyo gradually began to cooperate, with Tendo Kikunosho playing a significant role, while the leaders of other districts of the island nation, such as Osaka, were pro-Western.
Su Qing only has a few days left and he needs to enrich himself, so there isn't much he can do. Keeping Tendo Kikunojo around will always be of some use.
Tendou Kikunosuke shook his head and said, "Anyway, I am old and I won't live much longer."
Only the Japanese understand the Japanese. When he heard about the situation in Tokyo and that an old friend asked him to return, he guessed the situation almost exactly.
Perhaps it was a god who came down and was disgusted by the filthiness of Tokyo, but had no intention of destroying it?
A familiar old friend asked him to return to Tokyo as soon as possible, which must be to let him die to atone for his sins - since he was asked to forgive his sins voluntarily, it means that Tokyo may also gain some benefits from it?
It's nothing more than apologizing, sliding on your knees, and taking the initiative to be a dog!
——So he came back in a hurry.
Su Qing glanced at the old man and asked, "Did you ask Tiantong Mugeng to come?"
He didn't think that this was the decision of the Holy Emperor.
"It's me." Tendou Kikunosuke admitted decisively: "If the Tendou family can be used as a sacrifice to dispel the anger of the gods, it will be an honor for the Tendou family."
Tendou Kikunosho said, "Kizawa is the heir of the Tendou family that I chose. Although not many people know this news, I think it would be too rude to conceal it from the Lord God... and too arrogant."
Su Qing smiled and said, "I am not an omniscient and omnipotent god. I don't even have a godhood. It is not impossible to conceal it. Don't you plan to leave a trace of incense for the Tiantong family?"
"If it can be hidden..." the old man sighed, "wouldn't it be better to show Tokyo's sincerity if it is revealed?"
Chapter 29 Confusion
"Wait, wait for me."
Tian Tong Mu couldn't blame the etiquette and shouted out: "You old man, what do you mean I am the heir of the Tian Tong family you chose?"
She quickly looked at Su Qing and explained, "Your Excellency will not believe this old man's nonsense, right? The Tiantong family and I have a deep blood feud. He just wants to exonerate the rest of the Tiantong family, so he took the blame on me, who has completely severed ties with the Tiantong family."
Su Qing shrugged and looked at Tendou Kikunojo: "She said so."
"I will give you an answer." Tendo Kikunosuke bowed and then looked at Tendo Kisara.
"Kisara, do you remember how your parents died?"
Tendou Mugen's eyes instantly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Protocolizines have appeared in Tendou House, which is almost the core of Tokyo District."
"Why do you think your parents died?"
"You still have the nerve to bring that up?" Tian Tongmu clenched his fists even tighter.
"Your father was planning to expose the illegal activities of the Tendo family, but your uncle and your brother teamed up to lead the protogastric animals to the Tendo house." Tendo Kikunosuke said expressionlessly, pointing at himself, "I did not acquiesce."
"Do you think I will believe it?" Tian Tong Mu Geng didn't believe it at all. Everyone knows how much control you have over the Tian Tong family.
"I made it clear."
"Varied--"
"I overestimated him. It was my mistake." Looking at the shocked Tendo Kisaragi, Tendo Kikunosuke spoke calmly, as if he was not talking about his son.
"In peacetime, the illegal activities of the Tendo family are not worth mentioning, but after the Haraguchi War, it is an opportunity for the island nation, and the Tendo family should serve the country, so I chose your father, but he wanted to expose the Tendo family's dirty laundry."
"Just because of this, you killed your own son?" Tian Tong Mu was even more surprised.
"He was too naive. He naively believed that the world was either good or evil. He believed that without the evil deeds of the Tendo family, Tokyo would be better. He was wrong. Without sufficient authority, Tokyo would just follow the footsteps of the island countries and fall apart."
As Tendou Kikunosuke spoke, his tone became slightly heavier, and his heart was not as calm as it seemed: "As a member of the Tendou family, if you don't want to change the Tendou family, don't want to solve the problem, and only want to report the Tendou family, you are an ungrateful person. Even if I raise a dog, he knows how to be grateful."
Tendou Kikunosho was also devastated.
I'm planning to return power to the emperor and serve the island nation. I found a relatively clean person like you in the family and will focus on training you...
Yes, the Tendo family has done a lot of illegal things, but which powerful family in the island country is clean?
If you have a conscience, you can take action against other families that break the law.
If you can't stand the Tiantong family, you can find a way to change the Tiantong family.
He found out the illegal information of the Tiantong family and planned to expose it... Is this the attitude of solving the problem?
Without the Tendo family, what leverage do you have to suppress other families in the Tokyo area? Is there any chance that the island nation will improve at all?
So you just want to feel good about yourself by bringing down the Tendo family, but you plan to ignore the other nobles who are doing the same evil things, and you don't care what will happen to Tokyo and its people, right?
In fact, Tendo Kikunosuke had no intention of killing his son.
He thought his son was fishing.
He was quite happy at that time. The son he had raised was secretly collecting evidence of the Tiantong family's illegal activities. Could it be that his intention was to bring down the Tiantong family?
You must have eaten a few pounds of stupid movies to think like this. No way, how could my son, Tendo Kikunosho, be so stupid.
This must be an act of desperate struggle, but secretly luring the snake out of its hole, intending to seize power in the family in one fell swoop.
Lure other members of the Tendo family into taking action, then counterattack and kill them, while at the same time using the evidence of the Tendo family's illegal activities to negotiate with them.
All the other juniors were eliminated, so even if he was "unwilling", he had no choice but to let Kisara's father take over the Tendo family.
He understands the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Tendou Kikunosuke even hinted to the rest of the family to act quickly... and then his beloved son died.
Tendou Kikunosho was stunned at the time. No, are you serious? Are you really planning to bring down the Tendou family?
I thought you were fishing and there must be some secret arrangement, but who would have thought that you were the fool.
Tendo Kikunosuke once suspected that there were problems with his family's education, but after repeatedly reviewing all the courses his children had taken from childhood to adulthood, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Even if you have seen through the filthiness of your family, and you are noble enough to plan to become famous and distribute all the property of the Tendo family to the common people, I, Tendo Kikunosho, can understand.
You exposed the evidence of the Tiantong family's illegal activities, and then watched the Tiantong family being divided up by other families, right?
This behavior is of no benefit to the family, the country, or the people.
If you care about rights, if you care about family, if you care about the country and the people, even if you only care about one of them, how could you do such a thing?
The cost of maintaining the big account was wasted, and afterwards Tendo Kikunosuke chose to continue training Tendo Kisara and Satomi Rentaro.
Tendou Kikunosho said calmly, "Kisara, why do you think you and Rentaro can't get along?"
"Don't worry about it."
"That's what I planned."
"Shut up."
"Why are you so obsessed with hatred?"
"you……"
"In order to remember your hatred, you would rather weaken your body to the point of needing dialysis than replace your artificial kidney. This kind of physical burden is completely detrimental to your idea of revenge. How do you think you came up with this idea?"
"shut up."
"What influenced your thinking during that time?"
"You fucking bastard--" Tendo Kimura pulled out a knife from the weapon rack beside him and slashed directly at Tendo Kikunosuke.
"The angrier you are, the calmer you need to be. After ten years of hatred, you still haven't realized this. I'm disappointed."
It was like a grandfather beating a child, and it was indeed a grandfather beating a child. There was ancient martial arts in the black bullets. The older he got, the more powerful he became. Even though Tendo Kikunosuke was already old and his physical strength had declined, he was still no match for the underage Tendo Kimura.
In just a few hits, the knife in Tendou Kimura's hand was knocked away, and Tendou Kikunosuke just took a few long breaths.
Tendou Mugen opened his mouth, looked at the knife at his neck, and regained some composure: "I will never do as you wish."
"So you're going to commit suicide?"
