Chapter 215: Farewell! Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Arisu Yuusuke was stunned after Arisu Youzai told him about the incident.
He did not expect that Kimura Kazuki would report to his elders straightaway. He was fuming with rage as he thought about it. With anger in his tone, he said, "Uncle Youzai… was it my dad who asked you to call me to come back?"
"That"s right. Everything will be over once you apologize to him. I can tell that your father has quite an amount of respect to that Kimura guy."
Arisu Yuusuke sneered upon hearing that. His dad was a timid and cautious person. He would not offend anyone, but was very strict with him! He had already investigated Kimura Kazuki"s background, he was merely a pauper. Did he think he was a somebody after inheriting the Yagyu Flying Sword Style? How dare he come to Arisu Shrine to complain?
Arisu Yuusuke had been holding himself back throughout the walk. He let out another sneer as he was getting closer to the reception room. He raised his voice on purpose, "Uncle Youzai… do you just blindly follow whatever my dad says? That wraith was originally my trophy! Kimura Kazuki didn"t do anything other than mess around. Why would you usher people like him? I would have chased him out right away! If he was unhappy, we could beat him up until he was half-crippled, then throw him out. I don"t think he would dare to take revenge. If he really were to do so, we might as well just kill him. There ain"t any Kimura family in j.a.pan, why should we be afraid?"
To Arisu Yuusuke, if Kimura Kazuki was indeed strong, he would have looked for him in the Department of Mysteries, instead of coming to Arisu Shrine to whine at his father… Nonetheless, Arisu Yuusuke admired him for being brazen. Kimura Kazuki could only complain to his elders because he was incompetent to fight. It was totally disgusting.
Of course, through the incident, he got to know that Kimura Kazuki was obviously not strong. That was why he couldn"t care less. Since he had the Arisu family and his grandfather around, no matter how obnoxious he was, Kimura Kazuki would still have to suck it up.
Upon hearing that, the three people who were chatting in the reception room suddenly went silent.
As Arisu Yuusuke walked into the room, he sensed the quiet atmosphere. Before he had the chance to say anything, he saw Kimura Kazuki, who was sitting on the left side, speaking quietly into his teacup.
"Excuse me, Patriarch Arisu, I changed my mind. He doesn"t need to apologize anymore. Let Arisu Yuusuke offer his apology with his death instead."
Arisu Taigo, who was sitting in the main seat, was about to scold his grandchild. Before he could speak, he heard what Kimura Kazuki said.
His words were light and clear, without any earthy feel. He could not even sense the emotion of anger from Kimura Kazuki. However, his heart skipped a beat at his words.
Arisu Yuusuke had just walked in and had not understood the situation yet. Hearing what Kimura Kazuki just said, he snickered, "Who do you think you are…"
Bang!
Arisu Atsuhito slammed the table, cutting Arisu Yuusuke off. He glared with rage at his son who disappointed him, trying his best to oppress his fury, and spoke in a deep voice, "Kneel down, Yuusuke! Apologize to Master Kimura!!"
Arisu Yuusuke ignored his father. He raised his head to look at his grandfather, who sat in the main seat. Time pa.s.sed second by second. It was then that Arisu Yuusuke finally realized that something was not right, so he opened his mouth to speak, "Grandpa…"
"Kneel down and apologize to Kimursama," Arisu Taigo finally opened his mouth, his face stern, staring at his grandchild without any facial expressions. A glimmer of disappointment could be seen in his eyes.
Fury burned in Arisu Yuusuke"s heart because even his grandfather, who always babied him, also made him kneel down. He clenched his teeth tightly as if to break his teeth! However, he did not dare to oppose his grandfather. He glared at Kimura Kazuki with his eyes full of enmity. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d did not even look at him from the very start to the end.
As Arisu Yuusuke was about to kneel down at Kimura Kazuki, he noticed that his body could not move at all.
"Why aren"t you kneeling?!" Arisu Atsuhito spoke through gritted teeth, "Don"t you have the guts to take up the responsibility when you did something wrong? Are you even a member of the Arisu Family?"
"I can"t kneel!" Arisu Yuusuke paid no attention to his father"s outburst as he was alarmed and confused, "I can"t move my body."
Everyone looked at Kimura Kazuki subconsciously after hearing that.
Kimura Kazuki drank all of his tea in one go before finally taking a glance at Arisu Yuusuke. Apparently, Director Mitani was intimidated by the power of the Arisu Family, which was why he found excuses for him. He initially thought it was just an honest mistake made by Arisu Yuusuke, but given the current situation, it would seem that the incident was intentional.
He smiled slightly as he thought, "Patriarch Arisu, didn"t I say that there"s no need to kneel down and apologize?"
Offer his apology with his death instead!
Everyone in the room held their breaths after recalling what he had just said.
Arisu Yuusuke opened his mouth, but he realized that he was not able to speak. The horrifying situation finally terrorized him.
Noticing the odd situation, Arisu Atsuhito rasped, "Master Kimura… my son…"
"Don"t worry, it"s just a simple reiki technique." Kimura Kazuki let out a sigh, "Your son is so rude that I simply don"t want to hear him speak anymore."
"Kimursama, can you please forgive Yuusuke?" Arisu Taigo stood up and sank his voice, "It was undeniable that whatever Yuzuke just said was offensive! However, it was just an honest mistake, and the Arisu family is willing to compensate for double the amount of loss Kimursama has suffered from."
"I wonder if Patriarch Arisu has ever heard of this saying." Kimura Kazuki glanced at Arisu Taigo, speaking calmly, "Dignity is not to be trampled on!"
"Kimursama, it is true that what Yuzuke said was disrespectful. However, it did not cause any actual harm to you; it was just offensive language." Arisu Taigo tried to mediate the dispute, "To kill my grandchild merely because of that, is it not overbearing?"
Kimura Kazuki looked at him upon hearing that. He took out his phone to look at the time. It was already past five o"clock, and k.u.moko was still waiting for him to return with groceries. He laughed, "Overbearing? Your grandchild is more overbearing," he did not want to waste time arguing with him. Coldly, he said, "I"ll give you 10 seconds to decide. You either kill Arisu Yuusuke or keep him and start a war with me."
To pick one of the two, these were the choices Kimura Kazuki offered to the Arisu family. Kimura Kazuki sat on his seat and spoke nothing after that.
The atmosphere was tense and depressing at that moment.
Right at that moment, a knock was heard from the outside, followed by a voice, "Sir, Master s.h.i.+geru is here."
Arisu Taigo and Arisu Atsuhito exchanged glances, joy overflowing from their eyes.
"Quickly receive him!"
As s.h.i.+geru Sei stepped into the room, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right. He saw Kimura Kazuki and was about to greet him when he heard a pa.s.sionate Arisu Atsuhito, "Master s.h.i.+geru, please have a seat!"
However, before s.h.i.+geru Sei could speak, he sensed something. Looking toward Kimura Kazuki subconsciously, he saw his cold expression. His heart skipped a beat, and without changing his expression, he stepped back slightly, smiling as he answered, "Looks like the Arisu family is entertaining an important guest. I shall not disturb you." He saluted as he was speaking, "Farewell."
He turned away once he was done speaking.
Everyone was stunned.
"Time"s up. Make your choice."
