Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 320: The Significance of the Kanto Branch (Part )

Not wanting to make this feeling known, Gen Chisei continued questioning while trying to prevent the investigation from sliding into the abyss of the Kanto branch.

Inuyama He and Miyamoto Shio slowly fell silent.

"You guys go out first." Yuan Zhisheng closed his eyes and waved his hand.

When the footsteps reached the door, the sound of the door handle being turned reached his ears.

"Let Mr. Masamune come in." Minamoto Chisei used all his strength to move the stone pressing on his chest, "All the heads of the families come in."

"Okay, head of the family." Miyamoto Shio opened the door.

Han Qiu was looking forward to what was to come and chose a seat to sit down.

Watch as the five family heads invited Tachibana Masamune in. This old guy is still acting and coughing non-stop.

It looked as if he would die of illness at any time, his face was extremely pale, but he maintained that kind look.

Kamaitachi brought back the conversation in the room and the sound of flowing water.

The drizzle outside couldn't make such a sound. Han Qiu curiously traced the source of the sound.

From the room downstairs, according to the decoration layout of the hotel, this should be the location of the bathroom.

It was obviously the sound of the rain shower.

The person living downstairs is... Sakurai Kogure...

Damn it, how can I be so dirty as to eavesdrop on a girl taking a bath?

Han Qiu took a deep breath and narrowed the range of the kamaweed.

Having too good hearing is really troublesome. My little ability is still far behind that of the emperor.

Does the emperor know many people’s secrets?

Han Qiu was a little curious and drew a dirty and sad picture in his mind.

Caesar stayed at home. Because of his hearing far beyond that of ordinary people, he heard that the stud father was having fun with another woman in the next bedroom.

He didn't want to listen, so he covered his ears and buried himself in the quilt.

"Mr. Masamune, regarding the Kanto branch..." Gen Chisei's voice brought Han Qiu's thoughts to a halt.

----

"Mr. Masamune, I think you should know more about the Kanto branch than we do." Gen Chisheng did not dare to look up at Tachibana Masamune. "Based on the current situation, the rebellion of the Kanto branch was probably planned a long time ago."

Minamoto Chisei told the entire current situation, including Ryoma Genichirō's statement and the family heads' understanding of the Kanto branch.

He also has his own personal judgment.

No one knows the specific situation of the Kanto branch better than Tachibana Masamune.

Rather than calling it suspicion, it’s more like a normal question.

Miyamoto Shio used Gen Chisei's computer to repeatedly call up the archived files that Kaguya-sama sent before her death.

Princess Kaguya is dead, but the history of the Snake Eight Clan is not dead.

Yuan Zhisheng had arranged everything before he left. Kaguya would archive all the data and send it to the private mailboxes of the owners before self-destruction. Because the amount of information was too large, it could only be broken down into small pieces, and small fragments one after another would piece together the complete information.

Gen Chisei had reviewed all of this information when he first investigated the Kanto branch.

He didn't expect to find anything from this information, but Miyamoto Shio said that it would eventually be restored.

"Kanto branch? Cough cough cough cough..." After a violent cough, Tachibana Masamune continued: "It seems that everyone suspects that I am a ghost."

The expressions of the family heads changed instantly.

Gen Chisei quickly said, "Mr. Masamune, I'm just summarizing the information."

"But Chisheng, the situation you are currently aware of, in the end, still falls on the Kanto branch." Tachibana Masamune sighed, "I am the one who created the Kanto branch. In the past ten years, they only obeyed me."

"Mr. Masamune, I think the head of the family didn't explain it clearly." Ryoma Genichirō was the only head of the family who had the courage to look Tachibana Masamune in the eye. "As a member of the Self-Defense Forces, I had frequent interactions with the young people of the Kanto branch. Akechi Asuya did have the ability to lead the Kanto branch in rebellion. He was a very outstanding young man, but he died."

"I also know Nagashune and Kagehide. Their arrogance makes it difficult for someone to replace Akechi Asuya, even if the patriarch is the emperor. But Nagashune and Kagehide organized the second invasion of Genji Heavy Industries. They put aside their arrogance and their pursuit of power and obeyed the arrangements of the Oni Clan."

"Yeah..." Tachibana Masamune said with regret, "The twelve captains are all arrogant people. Even the emperor can't suppress their arrogance, let alone the ghosts."

"Akechi Asuya is not the leader, he is just the best among the rebels," said Ryoma Genichirō.

"So, Master Ryoma, you think that I am the only one capable of training a group of traitors, right?" asked Masamune Tachibana.

Yuan Zhisheng buried his head even lower, like a child who had done something wrong.

Amaterasu, who shoulders the future of the Eight Snake Families and was the one who initially planned to catch the traitor, chose to remain silent when the situation tilted towards Tachibana Masamune.

It was his status as the head of the family that prevented him from fleeing the room.

But I can only face it so timidly.

"The data has been restored." Miyamoto Shio said, turning the laptop screen towards the heads of the families.

On it was the information of the twelve captains of the Kanto branch.

There is a line of words under each captain: With the approval of the head of the family, Masamune Tachibana, enter the Kanto branch.

In the past, this would not be a big deal. The Kanto branch was under the direct jurisdiction of the patriarch, so naturally one had to have the patriarch's approval before entering.

But now, Tachibana Masamune's name is particularly prominent.

The family heads did not doubt it to say the least, they just hoped that Tachibana Masamune could give an explanation.

A more reasonable explanation.

"Chisheng..." Tachibana Masamune suddenly called out.

"Mr. Masamune." Minamoto Chisei raised his head, his eyes gentle, "Just tell me what you know about the Kanto branch."

Han Qiu outside the room was quite surprised.

I wonder how much courage and determination it took for this guy, Minamoto Chisei, to say such words to Tachibana Masamune under such circumstances.

However, Han Qiu was not happy with the current situation.

The words of the family heads were just to get an explanation.

If Tachibana Masamune said: I don’t know either.

I guess this fierce interrogation will end here.

Since there is no substantial evidence, the family heads will not really doubt Tachibana Masamune.

The source of all this lies in the contradictions displayed by the guys in the Kanto branch.

Only the head of the Ryoma family and Minamoto Chisei understood the manifestations of these contradictions.

Ryoma Genichirō, this honest middle-aged man, can really play a role at critical moments.

He is indeed the most mediocre among the family heads, but he is also the most cautious in his actions and words.

At this moment, the five family heads and Minamoto no Chisei were looking at Tachibana Masamune together.

Gen Chisei was even praying that Tachibana Masamune would say "I don't know".

However, Tachibana Masamune started coughing again, and after it subsided, he said calmly: "Do you really want to know?"
