Chapter 825: Not Everyone Is Willing to Admit that They Are Old!

"Drip, drip, drip... click!" After the retro-flavored bamboo dripping water is filled with water, it swings up and down. Then, the water flows down the bamboo tube, repeating the cycle...

Shinomiya Honke is a group of Japanese-style buildings with a retro flavor. Probably for the sake of nostalgia, the marks of the times can be seen everywhere in this building group. The bamboo dripping just mentioned is one of them...

Shinomiya Kariya stood in the corridor, leaning on a cane in both hands, facing the courtyard, staring at the dripping water from the bamboo swinging up and down with slightly narrowed eyes, looking slightly lost in thought.

After a long time, he seemed to come back to his senses:

"Haha, I heard that when people get old, they will be in a daze inadvertently. I really don't accept old age, hehe, hehe..."

As soon as Shinomiya Kariya finished speaking, the middle-aged man standing behind him like a butler said quickly: "The master is joking again, and now it is the master..."

"Hehe, hehe..." The middle-aged housekeeper was only halfway through his words when Shinomiya Kariya smiled and shook his head: "You are indeed old..." He waved his hand as he spoke.

This action shocked the butler behind him, but before he could say anything, another butler dressed as an older man came with four or five black-clothed guards. The middle-aged butler still didn't understand what was going on. What happened was that the guards in black had already blocked him behind him and were trying to take him out. This move made the middle-aged housekeeper anxious:

"Wait, wait, what are you going to do? Master, I, what did I do wrong? Don't..."

Before Shinomiya Kariya said anything, the elderly butler who had just arrived waved to the middle-aged butler and others, signaling the guards in black to pull them down quickly.

"Butler Kurosaki, what happened? I, I didn't do anything to the master..." The middle-aged butler still wanted to struggle when he saw this.

"Ugh..." Butler Kurosaki heard this and shook his head quickly, telling the other party to shut up. At the same time, he winked at the guards again. After the guards in black understood, they acted as if someone blocked the middle-aged butler's mouth. And took the person down by force.

After everyone left, Butler Kurosaki stood respectfully behind Shinomiya Kariya without saying a word. After another long while, Shinomiya Kariya once again pointed his eyes at Bamboo Dishui and said.

"Kurosaki, do you think I'm old?"

"The commander-in-chief is still very energetic..." Butler Kurosaki heard this and said quickly.

"Haha, haha..." Shinomiya Kariya laughed again when he heard this, and then he shook his head again and said: "Kurosaki, you still know how to speak!"

"Kurosaki is just telling the truth. The commander-in-chief is already very energetic..."

"How can there be any vitality..." Shinomiya Kariya lowered his face and said with half-squinted eyes: "If you were really energetic, you wouldn't be called Master. Master, the word "老" comes first..."

Butler Kurosaki: "..."

I don’t even know how to flatter you, so it’s not unfair for young people to be dragged down!

While he was complaining in his heart, Shinomiya Kariya continued:

"Kurosaki, do you know?"

"Commander-in-Chief, what are you talking about?" Housekeeper Kurosaki bowed to the question.

"What's the saying?" Shinomiya Kariya said while stroking the cane in his hand: "By the way, that's what it says. The older a person gets, the less timid he becomes! As this person gets older, he feels deep in his heart. All the energy and energy are gone. Without the support of energy and spirit, you will lose the courage you had when you were young..."

"The Commander-in-Chief does not lack courage!" Butler Kurosaki said quickly.

Shinomiya Kariya shook his head when he heard this: "Time is not forgiving, even I have begun to have some scruples..." At this point, he raised his head and looked at the sky, his lips moved slightly, as if he was saying He murmured, and seemed to be murmuring to himself: "Tsuchama family, Tsuchama Katsuragi, Kondo-gumi, Hijikata Jūshirō, hehe, hehe..."

"Are the commander-in-chief's concerns?" Butler Kurosaki, who did not hear Shinomiya Kariya's muttering to himself, said subconsciously: "But in my opinion, the commander-in-chief is just more considerate of the overall situation..."

Being interrupted like this, Shinomiya Kariya came to his senses and shook his head: "Kurosaki, how can there be such a big picture in this world that needs to be taken into consideration..."

Butler Kurosaki was silent.

"Kurosaki, you, sometimes you are too careful with what you say..." Seeing that the other party was silent, Shinomiya Kariya shook his head again.

Butler Kurosaki: "..."

Commander-in-Chief, you just asked someone to drag out the last person who spoke carelessly!

Before Butler Kurosaki could say anything, Shinomiya Kariya suddenly said: "Compared to you Kurosaki, the deputy commander of the Kondo team is very courageous..."

"Commander-in-Chief, the Kondo Group is just a violent group composed of a group of gangsters. The reason why Hijikata Deputy Chief looks so courageous is just to suppress those gangsters..." Butler Kurosaki reminded: " This kind of courage is completely incomparable to the courage possessed by the Commander-in-Chief!"

"Kurosaki, you said you were frowning..." Shinomiya Kariya narrowed his eyes again. He seemed to have thought of something, and said with emotion: "The other party is indeed very courageous. At least, the deputy chief of Hijikata After learning my identity, he was still able to deal with me calmly. I have to say that Guilong Tsuchima is indeed very accurate in reading people."

"So, the commander-in-chief really wanted to recruit the deputy chief of Hijikata at that time?" Butler Kurosaki also reacted.

"Haha, maybe..." Shinomiya Kariya said with a smile: "Who knows? Maybe I just want to add trouble to that little fox Tsuchima Guiryu. Of course, if I can really recruit him..."

"The commander-in-chief seems to be very optimistic about the deputy chief of earthwork?"

"Ah~!" Shinomiya Kariya nodded when he heard this: "I really like that young man, especially his eyes, which are firm and clear. What's even more rare and valuable is that a guy with such eyes can also Holding important positions in armed groups..."

"But doesn't this further prove that the Kondo group is just bragging too much..." How could a guy with that kind of eyes have withstood the beatings from society?

"Kurosaki, do you think Katsuru Tsuchima, the man behind the Kondo group, is stupid?"

Butler Kurosaki shook his head. To this day, no one in this country dares to say that Katsuru Toma is actually a fool!

"That's right, Katsura Tsuchima is definitely not an idiot!" Shinomiya Kariya affirmed: "On the contrary, that little fox is more cunning than anyone else, and yet such a cunning person has supported the Kondo group for so many years. , do you think this is just a reputation based on bragging?”

Butler Kurosaki: "..."

"What's more, the actions of the Kondo group when they first started to divide areas..." Shinomiya Kariya continued: "If they only relied on the reputation they boasted, how could the Kondo group have suppressed those veteran armed forces in this city for so many years?"

"But no matter what, the Kondo Group is just an organization that can't get on the stage. Plus, the other party is still affiliated with Miss Kaguya..."

After hearing this, Shinomiya Kariya raised his hand to signal the other party to stop talking, then he closed his eyes and said, "This is what I'm worried about. Whether it's the Doma family or the Kondo group, they don't make people worry. existence, but Kaguya got mixed up with them..."
