Chapter 962: Chapter 6: Suzuki Natsuya (Part 2)

However, Shuofu Takizawa’s expression quickly returned to normal, and with a gust of wind at the corner of his mouth, he promptly invited Suzuki Yuuichi and ‘Haruxin Suzuki’ into the Takizawa Family’s castle.

Along the way, the father and son of the Suzuki family realized the vastness of the Takizawa family.

In this modern society, the fact that the Takizawa family still retains the rules of ancient society also makes one sense some terrifying aspects of this family.

The father and son of the Suzuki family were then arranged to wait in a quiet room, while the butler Shuofu Takizawa took leave, saying he was going to call the family members to discuss the details of this collaboration.

“Last time we only saw Shuofu Takizawa, but this time they’ve mobilized the main family members. It seems the Takizawa family is very serious about the development of this Imperial Tomb,” Suzuki Yuuichi murmured.

‘Haruxin Suzuki’ naturally became serious as well.

The father and son discussed strategies on how to converse with the Takizawa family… Meanwhile, the shadow of ‘Haruxin Suzuki’ was suddenly shaken by the light, and a small shadow swiftly detached from it, disappearing from sight.

Just then, a sound similar to a night watchman’s clapper was heard outside.

If remembered correctly, there were four strikes this time.

…

“Miss Lola, the head and heir of the Suzuki family have arrived.”

After settling the father and son of the Suzuki family, Shuofu Takizawa quickly walked to a certain room deep in the castle.

The place was lavishly decorated with snow-white carpets; meanwhile, more than a dozen beautiful young men were crawling around on the ground.

Without exception, they were only wearing shorts, with blindfolds over their eyes and gags in their mouths… they seemed to have lost their humanity, completely subdued as if they had become animals.

In the forefront, a seductive woman was lying on the couch, holding a long whip and drinking a cup of deep red liquid.

“I heard that the Young Head of the Suzuki family is very strong, and was even praised as the strongest man on earth, isn’t that right?” The seductive woman named Lola Takizawa chuckled softly.

“It’s not Suzuki Natsuya this time, but his son, Haruxin Suzuki,” Shuofu Takizawa said, bowing his head. “I heard that not long ago, Suzuki Natsuya ran away from home and hasn’t been found since.”

“Is that so… what a pity,” Miss Lola shook her head, unrestrainedly swung her whip towards a young man beside her, then said again, “What about this Haruxin Suzuki?”

“A very cultured person, like a young master,” Shuofu Takizawa whispered.

“I have enough of this type,” Lola yawned, stretched lazily, and stood up, “Let’s go meet this Suzuki Yuuichi. My brother went to South America recently, otherwise, it wouldn’t be my turn to handle this kind of troublesome matter…”

“Will Miss Lola go after lunch?” the butler asked respectfully.

Miss Lola redirected her gaze and suddenly smiled, “Lunch… let’s see how this Haruxin Suzuki is.”

At that moment, a ‘clang clang’ sound suddenly echoed.

Miss Lola frowned, “Butler, isn’t this the third time? Why is the guard team so useless? Or is this intruder hard to handle? Is there an exorcist daring enough to come here?”

Shuofu Takizawa also frowned, “I investigated after the second alarm sounded. It seems to have been provoked by a side-line member named Kaede Takizawa. But this is already the third alarm… Four strikes are at the exorcist level.”

“A little dog from a side line? Have they undergone the ‘Baptism’?”

Takizawa replied, “They have undergone a level one ‘Baptism,’ but aren’t qualified for ‘Naihe’ yet.”

Miss Lola snorted coldly, “Let the main family’s guards handle it. Once this is dealt with, handle this Kaede Takizawa as well. The Takizawa family doesn’t need incompetent troublemakers.”

“Understood!”

…

The shadow wandered through the ancient castle of the Takizawa family, easily phasing through one wall after another due to its lack of physical form. Its peeping was unavoidable in some secret places.

It was, in fact, Lian Zhen, who had formed a contract with the Yamata no Orochi.

At this moment, the shadow lingered in a particular room of the ancient castle – what made the room special here were the young women hanging.

They were arranged in an orderly fashion, their clothes removed, all unconscious but still alive. However, some of these women were already emaciated, as if their life force had been drained.

Each woman was connected to numerous tubes, with a special container placed beneath each… seemingly collecting these women’s blood.

Lian Zhen could see that each container was marked with a special number.

Even though Lian Zhen himself was not shy about killing, he couldn’t help but frown at the situation here.

“What on earth is going on with this Takizawa family… such wickedness!”

Just then, voices were heard outside the room.

Lian Zhen instantly phased through the wall, and saw two men dressed in black kimonos guarding the door to this special room in the hallway.

At this moment, a man in a black kimono, carrying a katana, approached them, saying solemnly, “Miss Lola has given the orders for the Guard Team to take action. There’s already a level four alarm outside. Ryosuke, accompany me into the team.”

“Yes, Captain!”

Thus, only one man was left guarding here… Lian Zhen considered for a moment, planning to follow this captain to explore further.

…

…

Bam——!!!

A young man’s body fiercely crashed through the door of a large house.

At this time, at the main street in the village at the foot of the Takizawa family’s mountain, a dozen men in special clothing were nervously watching a young man – this intruder!

This intruder’s origins were unknown, but it was clear that he had come up from the third entrance – out of sixty members of the guard team, only a dozen were left here, while the rest lay on the route he took!

The young man’s face was grim, with plenty of wounds on his body – all of which were left by the desperate efforts of the guard team along the way… but none of these could stop the advances of this man, likened to an Asura.

The young man was dragging by the nape a servant named Takashi, and had just thrown forward another named Kenji.

Was this… the mansion of the side-line Young Master Kaede?

The guards were astonished as the young man brazenly walked into the mansion.

“Damn vermin!! Get out here!”

Before the guards could react, the roaring voice of the intruding young man echoed from inside!

They didn’t care about whether or not they were offending anyone and steeled themselves to rush inside the mansion.

It seemed that the Young Master Kaede living here had a notorious reputation for savagely killing women… could this trouble perhaps be related to this?

Regardless, intruders must be executed, which was the iron law of the Takizawa family.

When the guards finally caught sight of the intruder’s back, they also saw the master of the mansion, the side-line Young Master Kaede Takizawa.

“Letting this guy crash straight into my house, is the guard team truly this incompetent now?”

Kaede Takizawa leisurely leaned against a pillar in the corridor, holding a sharp katana… the blade of which still dripped with fresh blood.

Reprimanded by the side-line Young Master, the guards’ faces turned grim with embarrassment.

But the young man ignored all of this, directly tossing the Takashi he was holding at Kaede Takizawa, “Hey, green-haired one, hurry up and hand over the manager’s kid to me!”

Facing the Takashi flying towards him, Kaede Takizawa merely let out a cold snort and, with a wave, the katana in his hand sliced Takashi into two – he didn’t even manage to let out a cry before he died.

“Worthless thing.”

Kaede Takizawa leisurely descended the steps, inspecting the young man. “I heard you’re Suzuki? Truly a monstrous fellow… but this is as far as you’ll get.”

“I told you to hand over the person, you bastard! Didn’t you hear me?” The young man… Suzuki Natsuya widened his eyes angrily, reaching out towards Kaede Takizawa.

Unexpectedly, the moment he rushed in front of Kaede Takizawa, Kaede Takizawa disappeared completely.

Suzuki Natsuya only felt a chilling sensation as if a venomous snake was watching him, instinctively stepping forward—but at the same time, a sharp pain shot through his back!

A bright red gash on his back erupted with blood like a fountain… It was the wound caused by Kaede Takizawa’s blade!

“Really reflexes like a monster.” Kaede Takizawa now wore a teasing smile, then flicked his katana, scattering bloodstains.

Kaede Takizawa’s eyes flickered with red light occasionally, and a blood-red mist steamed off his body, giving off a distinctly eerie presence.

“Young Master Kaede probably took a secret potion to temporarily boost his power…” a man in the guard team suddenly whispered.

Kaede Takizawa suddenly looked over, his gaze cold, and snorted, scaring the guard team member to shrink back his head.

“Today’s events, no one can speak of them!” Kaede Takizawa shouted coldly.

The guard team members immediately nodded obediently, too scared to speak… even if he was merely the young master of a branch family, he was still an upper echelon figure in the mountains!

Suzuki Natsuya gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, “You… truly are a monster!”

“Just finding out now?” Kaede Takizawa sneered darkly, “Looks like your brain doesn’t work very well… oh, let me show you something good, huh?”

With that, Kaede Takizawa suddenly waved his hand, and the door to the room down the corridor swung open!

Inside the room, a small figure hung from the ceiling… it was a child.

The child hung his head, his body mutilated and covered in wounds… all from cuts!

Exactly the same… exactly the same disastrous condition as the manager’s wife!

“Beautiful, isn’t it? So wonderful, the way they scream…”

Kaede Takizawa was now smiling a bizarre smile like a drunkard, “It’s all your fault, Suzuki! Your fault… for hitting me and ruining my plans… So, all because of you! Hahaha!!”

Snap——!

The stone Suzuki Natsuya had picked up while falling to the ground was now crushed in his palm… but instead of attacking Kaede Takizawa, Suzuki Natsuya turned and rushed into the room.

He jumped up, tore the rope binding the child, and freed him.

As he held the child in his arms, Suzuki Natsuya’s expression suddenly softened—because, in that moment, he could feel that the child was still alive.

As long as he was alive… alive, it’s a miraculous hope, a precious marvel.

But when Suzuki Natsuya saw the child’s face, his pupils suddenly widened slightly.

The child had a mouthful of blood, teeth knocked out, and eyes gouged away…

“You want to save this child?” Kaede Takizawa chuckled playfully, “You can, but even if you save him, it will only be more painful… eeee…hahaha!!”

“I’ll kill you.”

Suzuki Natsuya suddenly stood up, expressionless, his face as calm as dead water, stepping towards Kaede Takizawa step by step.

Kaede Takizawa showed no fear, gripping his sword handle with both hands, probably some sword fighting style’s starting posture, “Seems like you still haven’t figured out the difference between us… I’m not the same today as I was that day, don’t you understand?”

“Too much talking.”

Suzuki Natsuya threw a punch, but Kaede Takizawa easily dodged it.

“Too slow!”

Kaede Takizawa already flashed behind Suzuki Natsuya, ruthlessly swinging the blade down! But at that moment, Suzuki Natsuya spun around and reached for the edge of the katana!

The blade easily cut through Suzuki Natsuya’s palm, but simultaneously, it was tightly gripped by Suzuki Natsuya, unable to be drawn out.

“You damn…”

Kaede Takizawa did not finish his sentence, as a fist approached rapidly!

Suzuki Natsuya’s way of solving problems always seemed to be with fists. The power in his fist felt as though it harbored a godlike presence, faintly emitting wisps of black fog!

Bang——!

Surprisingly and fearfully, Kaede Takizawa found this punch/attack to be terribly painful.

It hurt, hurt to the point of almost dying!

Suzuki Natsuya’s punch slammed Kaede Takizawa wholly into the ground! When Kaede Takizawa landed, it was as if a pile driver struck down, causing the entire courtyard to tremble!

“Young Master Kaede!”

The guard team members screamed in unison, rushing forward, but it was all too late—because Suzuki Natsuya had already wrested Kaede Takizawa’s katana from his hand, and without a word, reversed the blade to stab Kaede Takizawa’s throat!

In a flash, a crisp sound like the clashing of metal rang out!

“It’s over!”

The katana taken by Suzuki Natsuya was now blocked by an iron rod—Suzuki Natsuya suddenly looked up, an intense gaze shot forth like a beast!

The man holding the iron rod met his gaze, trembling unconsciously, warning himself: what an intensely wild gaze!

“And you, I’ll kill!”

Suzuki Natsuya abruptly stood up… but at that moment, his expression froze!

Because, at that moment, his chest suddenly shot out two different, yet just as sharp blades… The blades crossed in front of Suzuki Natsuya’s chest, clearly due to the differing angles of the back stab.

“I said it’s over, didn’t hear me… intruder.”

The two different blades were suddenly pulled from Suzuki Natsuya’s body, causing him to finally cough up blood, slowly turning around.

Behind him stood two men in black kimonos… holding katanas!

“Ah! It’s the main family’s guards!” The guard team members shouted in surprise.

But Suzuki Natsuya didn’t seem to hear, wildly swinging his fist like a raging lion—however, he ignored the man with the iron rod behind him!

Iron rod, at this moment ruthlessly slammed down from above onto Suzuki Natsuya’s back of the head!

This vicious attack directly smashed Suzuki Natsuya’s head, deforming it entirely… Suzuki Natsuya slowly fell to the ground, twitching a few times before going still.

“What a terrifying guy.” One of the black-clad men slowly sheathed his sword, glanced at Suzuki Natsuya, then offered a bow gracefully, “A man worthy of respect, my apologies.”

Then the man walked directly toward Kaede Takizawa, looking down, calmly saying, “Take Kaede Takizawa back.”

“Yes, captain!”

The man with the iron rod and the other youth both nodded.

At the moment, Kaede Takizawa’s face was swollen and deformed, blood spilling with each breath, unable to speak.

The man called captain then looked at the guard team members, calmly spoke, “Clean up outside before dawn… hmm?”

Captain frowned, as he noticed the guard team members were all showing strange looks, staring… staring behind Captain!

Captain suddenly turned around!

Suzuki Natsuya’s body on the ground suddenly vibrated, then slowly climbed up… an enormous amount of black smoke was rising from his body!

“Ah… such an awful vacation.”

Amidst the abundance of black smoke, Suzuki Natsuya’s voice was heard slowly, “So, it was you bunch of trash… who woke me up.”
