Chapter 1859: Chapter 1852: Cooperating with You

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s praise, Dechuan Qianxiang chuckled and said, ”I have always longed for life in China since I was young, hoping to visit this ancient civilization with five thousand years of history someday. Thus, from a young age, I followed my Chinese teacher and some exchange students from China to learn Mandarin.”

”No wonder your Chinese is so good, Miss Asaka.”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Dechuan Qianxiang, slowly opened his mouth and said, ”You’re absolutely right, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. However, I’m not planning to offer anything, nevertheless...”

Pausing intentionally for a moment, Lu Tianxing continued, ”But, you all will receive abundant rewards. If you assist me in overthrowing the Shankou Family, I won’t take a single piece of their power. The entirety will be handed over to the Dechuan Family. However, whether you can maintain it will depend on your capability, Dechuan Clan Leader, Miss Asaka. What do you think of this reward?”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Dechuan Zhenye’s heart instantly started to stir, a flash of burning desire reflected in his eyes.

If the Dechuan Family can devour the entire Shankou Family’s power, the Dechuan Family could definitely revive the glory it had during the shogunate period and become Tokyo’s leading family, even Japan’s premier family.

”Honorable Mr. Lu, how certain are you about eliminating the Shankou Family?” Dechuan Zhenye took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement within him, and looked at Lu Tianxing.

Despite the cake offered by Lu Tianxing being huge, Dechuan Zhenye wasn’t foolish. If Lu Tianxing fails to take down the Shankou Family, once they regain their senses, they won’t possibly spare the Dechuan Family.

Even though risking for benefits is worthwhile, it depends on whether the risk can yield the expected returns.

”As long as you can help me fend off some unnecessary troubles, I can make the Shankou Family disappear from Tokyo forever. Of course, if you can’t stop those troubles, my chances of winning naturally go down significantly.”

As soon as Lu Tianxing finished speaking, before Dechuan Zhenye could reply, Dechuan Qianxiang had already spoken, ”Mr. Lu, if we help you block those unnecessary troubles, after you destroy the Shankou Family, will you really hand all their power over to our Dechuan Family?”

”Of course, I stand by my words. Moreover, I’m not a resident of Japan; what would I want with those powers?”

Turning his head towards Dechuan Qianxiang, Lu Tianxing remarked, ”Besides, do you think with my current strength, I would care about a small Shankou Family’s power?”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Dechuan Qianxiang fell into silence; indeed, given Lu Tianxing’s current position, the minuscule power of the Shankou Family is hardly worth mentioning; it can completely be ignored.

Looking at the contemplative Dechuan Qianxiang and Dechuan Zhenye, Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything further, instead leisurely sipping his tea, a faint smile on his face from start to end, as if not at all afraid of their refusal.

In fact, this was precisely the case; Lu Tianxing was not worried about Dechuan Zhenye’s refusal as he had investigated everything before coming.

Dechuan Zhenye’s wife was forced to death by the Shankou Family back then, and despite respecting the power of the Shankou Family, the Dechuan Family always remained deeply taboo about this matter. It doesn’t mean the Dechuan Family could truly overlook the hatred.

More importantly, in recent years, even though the Shankou Family and Dechuan Family hadn’t engaged in any large-scale fights, under the support of Heavenly God, the Shankou Family still continually suppressed the Dechuan Family’s power. If this continues, eventually, the Dechuan Family will only end up being eradicated by the Shankou Family.

Neither Dechuan Qianxiang nor Dechuan Zhenye wanted the Dechuan Family to face destruction. The only path is to collaborate with him, join forces to eliminate the Shankou Family; otherwise, when the time comes, the Shankou Family certainly wouldn’t mind erasing the Dechuan Family, a family that once demonstrated glory during the shogunate period.

After pondering for a moment, Dechuan Qianxiang looked at Lu Tianxing and said, ”Alright, I agree on behalf of my father to cooperate with you. We will fend off the powers from Japan’s official domain for you, and when necessary, our Dechuan Family will take action, assisting you in annihilating the Shankou Family.”

Once Dechuan Zhenye heard Dechuan Qianxiang’s words, he immediately looked up at her and said, ”Asaka, you...”

”Father, this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I’ve already mentioned to you that the Shankou Family has always been secretly suppressing our Dechuan Family’s power. If we don’t eliminate the Shankou Family, when they act against us, do you think we can resist?”

Dechuan Qianxiang took a deep breath and said, ”Furthermore, we must avenge mother. Without Mr. Lu’s help, do you think we can seek revenge? Also, Father, you should be aware of how extensive Mr. Lu’s power is; he has no need to deceive us in this matter, nor would he ’kill the donkey after it’s done’ because our Dechuan Family poses no threat to him.”

”Dechuan Clan Leader, it seems your daughter is more astute than you and possesses more courage, though unfortunately, is of a daughter’s physique.”

Lu Tianxing sighed regrettably, ”If not, I wouldn’t mind helping her take your place.”

Listening to his daughter’s and Lu Tianxing’s words, Dechuan Zhenye’s eyes flickered, clenching his teeth, ”Fine, I promise you, but Mr. Lu, there’s something I must tell you, the Shankou Family is not easy to deal with, they have a master stationed there...”

”You’re referring to Ashida Ikeda?” Lu Tianxing interrupted Dechuan Zhenye.

”Correct.”

Dechuan Zhenye nodded, ”Mr. Lu, you know him.”

”I do. Before I came to Tokyo, Ashida Ikeda faced me in China.”

Lu Tianxing chuckled lightly, ”However, during the confrontation with me, Ashida Ikeda was severely injured by my grandfather’s disciple, fleeing miserably back to Japan. Otherwise, why do you think I dared to come to Tokyo without any concerns, planning to eliminate the Shankou Family?”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Dechuan Zhenye and Dechuan Qianxiang couldn’t help but exchange glances, each seeing a trace of terror in the other’s eyes.

Regarding Ashida Ikeda, they naturally were quite familiar—an eminent figure in Japan known for his swordsmanship, a top-tier master at the late stage of mythical, yet now in China, severely injured by Lu Tianxing’s grandfather’s disciple, forced to flee back to Japan. This news was indeed utterly shocking.
