As for the other person, even if you don't recognize his face, you can tell by looking at his iconic black and white pupils that he is naturally the current patriarch of the Wu clan and the powerful demon Wu Huiliyang, who was also the first generation of the Destroying Fang.
Xue's mother was extremely surprised: "Why is the president of Dai Nippon Bank here..."
"Dainippon Bank?"
Yukinoshita Haruno hadn't reacted yet, but when she heard her mother say this, her eyes widened.
How should I put it? First of all, Japan is a capitalist country, and in many cases even the government has to bow and make concessions to the conglomerates.
Although their Yukinoshita family has the status of a councilor's family in Chiba, they also have a lot of corporate assets under their names, and can be considered local emperors.
But compared with the Bank of Japan, it's like the difference between a feudal lord and an emperor... No, maybe it's even worse than a feudal lord.
If you really want to be precise, all the leading figures from various forces who came to Gaoyu High School’s cultural festival today combined are not even one-tenth as awesome as that stinky old guy.
Or maybe one percent...
"Ah, it's coming!"
In the inconspicuous booth against the wall, Garuda noticed the movement at the door, stood up from the sofa, and trotted over, while unable to help complaining.
"You're so slow, Grandpa Mietang, why did you guys just come? I've been here for quite a while."
"Well, the journey was a little long, so we were delayed for a while, and our Garuda was kept waiting for a long time."
Seeing his granddaughter appear, Wu Huiliyang's wrinkled old face immediately broke into a smile, and he stroked the girl's head lovingly.
But then he changed the subject, his tone full of disgust.
"So where is that brat? He didn't even come out to greet the elders when they arrived. Tsk..."
"Oh, brother, it seems like you were called over by your classmates just now. It seems like there is something wrong with the other guests?"
Garuda was not too sure, so he turned sideways, stretched his neck and raised his voice slightly.
"Brother? Grandpa and Sister Miaoxiang are here?"
Brother?
Sudo, who happened to be ordered to take out the trash because of his great strength, walked past the door carrying a trash can filled with various packaging shells. He couldn't help but feel puzzled when he heard the name.
Then he saw Wu Yi, who was sitting with the guests not far away for some reason, stand up, say "Excuse me" in a low voice and walk towards him.
"Oh, long time no see, old man, Mr. Mietang, and Sister Shaoxiang..."
绑！
However, before he could finish his words, he was hit on the head with a stick.
"He's just an old man to others, and an old man to your own grandfather, right!"
Wu Huiliyang was twirling a pipe that he had gotten from somewhere in his hand, and was very dissatisfied with the different treatment given to his grandson.
He withdrew his arm and put down his pipe, and Wu Yi raised his head synchronously.
It is said that it is better to be good at receiving than to be good at hitting. Although the powerful demon was a muscular man with a height of nearly meters when he was young, his body size gradually shrunk with his age, and now he is only meters tall. It is still a bit difficult to hit the head that is more than 20 centimeters taller than him even with the pipe to extend the attack distance.
In order to accommodate his old man, Wu Yi had to lower his head a little.
This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the grandfather and grandson.
"Well, being casual is a sign of friendliness. As an old man, would you just grab someone on the street and yell at him?" Wu Yi argued.
Wu Huiliyang pretended to hit him again: "You think you are right to disrespect the elderly?"
"It's still the same as before." Katara Shoka chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.
Although Katara Metō didn't say anything, he smiled silently.
He and Wu Huiliyang were comrades who fought together all the way when they were young. Looking at Wu Yi now is like seeing Wu Huiliyang back then. They can't be said to look exactly the same, but they are at least 90% similar.
However, Wu Huiliyang back then always looked domineering, cool and arrogant, as if saying "I am a hands-off person and have no feelings", but she was not as eloquent as Wu Yi.
Faced with his old man raising his pipe again, Wu Yi dodged it decisively this time and changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, where is mom? Didn't she come today?"
"As for Mom, she has classes at school this morning, so she will come over later." Garuda explained.
"That's it..."
Wu Yi nodded to show her understanding, and after looking outside suspiciously again, she waved her hand and turned to walk into the coffee shop first.
"Well, I feel like there's still a dog that hasn't arrived, but let's sit down and have a drink anyway."
Volume 460: Chapter : Brotherly Friendship
"Huh~ What? Are you hiding here——"
At the same time, the door of another busy coffee shop on the first floor of the shopping mall was suddenly pushed open by someone from the outside, grabbing the door frame. A head with short golden frizzy hair poked in from outside. The face, which should have been quite handsome, became completely distorted with a malicious smile.
As he spoke, he looked around, but apart from the customers seated in the hall enjoying their coffee, all he saw were maids in kimonos standing in the corridor holding trays in their hands.
The only thing missing was the expected figure.
what's the situation?
Wu Lei'an's smile faded slightly, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face, which always had a rich expression.
Just then, a pleasant voice came faintly from the side.
"welcome……"
“Hmm↘↗?!”
Wu Lei'an turned his head in the direction of the sound with displeasure.
She was an intellectual girl in a kimono sitting behind the bar. She had long, wavy silver-gray hair and was reading a book in her hands. She used the book to cover the part below her nose when she spoke, but her purple pupils were as calm as the sky.
Second year, Class D, Shiina Hiyori.
"Tsk, stop arguing, I'm not looking for you."
Wu Lei'an interrupted rudely, and immediately looked away and continued searching in the store.
Shiina Hiyori's eyes moved slightly, and he noticed that the other person's hand that was clinging to the door frame was holding a crumpled piece of paper. It was the same school map distributed by the school as the other guests had.
The guests’ personal information is also printed on the corners of the map.
Wu...Leian?
Shiina Hiyori blinked, and for a moment seemed to understand something.
However, just as she was about to ask tentatively, a voice came from afar, and the first word was full of disgust.
"What are you doing? It's fine if you dye your hair yellow, but you also have such a non-mainstream hairstyle. Your smile is so disgusting..."
It's obvious from the way she speaks that it's Ibuki Mio.
She was also wearing a kimono today, and walked over when she noticed something was happening at the door.
Shiina Hiyori looked up in confusion.
"Does Ibuki-san know this guest?"
"What do you mean by this guest? Isn't he just..."
Ibuki Mio blurted out, but halfway through her words she suddenly realized something was wrong, so she stopped and looked again.
Well, it seems that they are not the same person.
Although they do look alike and their face shapes are almost identical, Wu Yi's facial features are softer in comparison, and he doesn't have so many weird and messy facial expressions.
"He's better looking than you," the girl commented sharply.
"what!?"
Having just been called non-mainstream and disgusting, and now being criticized for his appearance, Wu Lei'an's anger bar, which was not long to begin with, instantly filled to 80%. The veins on the back of his hand with clear muscle texture bulged, and continued to rise as time went by as if he was blessed with Nal's passive.
But the process soon stopped again, and the malicious smile reappeared.
"Forget it. So I found the right person. You know a guy who looks similar to me, right? Tell me honestly where he is hiding."
"How do I know this?"
Ibuki Mio's eyes gradually turned to Da Mingming.
"Also, he's in Class A, and this is the Class D area. Are you mistaken?"
Wu Lei'an didn't hear the last half of the sentence at all. When he heard the word "Class A", he slammed the door and left without looking back.
On the other side, in the maid cafe on the second floor of the shopping mall.
Wu Yi and the other four sat down steadily in the booth. As the ordered dishes were quickly brought out from the kitchen, the head of the Yukinoshita family, who came to the table with his daughter, spoke with a respectful tone, as if they were meeting by chance at a banquet and toasting each other with a glass of wine.
"I didn't expect to meet here, Chairman Pianyuan and Chief Wu."
"Um……"
He had long been accustomed to people fawning on him or complimenting him wherever he went. He took a sip of coffee lightly before raising his eyes and saying "oh" faintly.
"I remember you are from Chiba Yukinoshita's family."
"It's an honor that you still remember me." Xue's mother bowed slightly.
"Nothing. Your father has wanted to join the Kengan Society many times, so I have a deep impression of your family."
Katahara Metō put down his coffee cup.
"But I've also said that with the size of your Yukinoshita family, you are indeed qualified to join the Kengankai, but the prerequisite is to have a stable number of fighters. You took the initiative to greet me this time. Have you found a suitable fighter?"
"This one……"
Xue's mother hesitated for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
"Not really. My father seems to have given up on this idea over the years."
"Give up? Sometimes giving up is also an option." Katara Metō actually laughed.
Yukinoshita Haruno, who is usually eloquent, could only remain silent and smile in such occasions, with her eyes lowered, like a "quiet child" in the eyes of adults.
Of course, she is only quiet on the surface, but actually she is looking around all the time.
Then, he happened to meet the eyes of Wu Yi, who was sitting on the outer edge of the U-shaped booth.
"Yo~"
Wu Yi raised his eyebrows while drinking coffee.
This action is not funny, but it is quite provocative in this situation.
Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly when he raised her eyebrows, but then she realized something was wrong and quickly pursed her lips.
Unfortunately, Xue's mother still noticed it keenly.
"Yang No?"
"what……"
Being publicly named by her own mother, Yukinoshita Haruno's back straightened instantly.
A sentence came out of her mouth loudly and powerfully without any thought.
"I was thinking, why don't we hire Wu Yi as a fighter?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
This simple sentence of less than twenty words silenced three people.
About half a second later, Katahara Metō burst into laughter, and while laughing he patted the shoulder of his old friend beside him, laughing so hard that he couldn't even speak.
"Eh!"
Wu Huiliyang's face was full of disgust, and she moved to the side, seeming to not want him to take the picture.
Xue's mother was completely stunned and didn't know how to continue the conversation.
As for Yukinoshita Haruno, who realized that she had said the wrong thing, her face was filled with embarrassment and she was completely at a loss as to what to do.
At the critical moment, it was Wu Yi who cleared his throat and spoke clearly.
"Sure, as long as you pay me."
"Of course there will be a salary..."
