The sunlight outside the door was blocked by a figure.
An old man wearing a dark blue kimono was walking in, surrounded by several guards. The old man had gray hair and a face full of wrinkles, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, as if he could see through people's hearts.
He walked very slowly, but there was a sense of majesty in every step.
Hozuki Getsuga saw the old man, his face changed slightly.
"Lord Kiryu?"
The person who came was none other than Kiryu Xiu, the chief consultant of the Capital of Water name, who was in charge of the entire business lifeline of Capital of Water. It is said that this old man was also a ninja when he was young, and later retired to engage in business, and established a firm foothold in Capital of Water with his skills.
Now Capital of Water, one-third of the industry is related to him.
The invitation letter Senju Chen asked Mizuno to send before was for the other party.
"Yueya." Kiryu Xiu looked at Hozuki Getsuga with a smile, "With such a big battle, are you going to demolish this restaurant?"
Hozuki Getsuga's face turned even more ugly.
"Lord Kiryu, this is Kirigakure's official business..."
"Official business?" Kiryu Xiu interrupted him, "What kind of official business requires more than a dozen people to surround the distinguished guests I finally invited?"
He paused.
"Or is it that Kirigakure now doesn't even give me the face of an old man?"
Hozuki Getsuga was silent.
The atmosphere in the lobby became more solemn.
Mizuno stood behind the counter, his palms almost sweating. He looked at Senju Chen, then at Kiryu Xiu, secretly admiring him.
Young Master Chen is indeed prepared.
Senju Chen had already put away Kunai in his hand when he sensed the arrival of the person, and now there was an embarrassed and aggrieved smile on his face.
"Lord Kiryu, you came just in time. This adult said he wanted to search the store and wanted to use force. I don't know what to do."
After listening to Senju Chen's words, Kiryu Xiu turned to Hozuki Getsuga and said coldly.
"Use force?" He turned his head and looked at Hozuki Getsuga, "Yueya, do you know who opens this store?"
Hozuki Getsuga said nothing.
"This is a distinguished guest that I personally invited to Capital of Water." Kiryu Xiu's tone became colder. "Yesterday, I wrote a letter of recommendation to the Daimyo, saying that the dishes of this restaurant 'Food Is Heaven' are unique and worthy of the Daimyo's personal taste."
"As a result, today, you surrounded my shop?"
Hozuki Getsuga's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"Lord Kiryu, we received a report..."
"Report?" Kiryu Xiu sneered, "What report? Let me tell you."
Hozuki Getsuga gritted his teeth.
"Someone reported that this store is hiding a fugitive."
"Fugitive?" Kiryu Xiu raised his eyebrows, "What fugitive?"
"A fugitive from the Kekkei Genkai family."
Kiryu Xiu was silent for a few seconds.
Then, he laughed.
"Yueya, are you confused?" His tone became playful, "This store hasn't even officially opened its store yet, where did the fugitive come from?"
Hozuki Getsuga was stunned by what Kiryu Xiu said. Does not opening Gate of Opening have anything to do with hiding fugitives???
"And..." Kiryu Xiu continued without Hozuki Getsuga who was stunned by the haircut, "Even if there is a fugitive, we have to provide evidence first, right? When did you Kirigakure become so unruly?"
The words "disobeying rules" seemed to hit Hozuki Getsuga's heart directly.
Hozuki Getsuga held Ninja Blade's hand, blue veins popped out.
He knew that it would be difficult to handle this matter today.
Kiryu Xiu's position over Capital of Water is not something that he, the captain of Special Assassination and Tactical Squad, can move. What's more, the other party also moved out a famous name.
If things get really big, he will be the only one who suffers.
"Lord Kiryu..."
"Okay." Kiryu Xiu waved his hand, "I know you are also following orders. But this time, I will personally make it clear to Lord Yagura."
He turned around and looked at Senju Chen.
"As for this boss, he is my guest. If Kirigakure really has any questions, you can come to me."
Hozuki Getsuga Take a deep breath.
He knew that there was no way to search today.
"Understood." He said coldly, "Then let's take our leave first."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Other Special Assassination and Tactical Squad members also withdrew.
But when he reached the door, Hozuki Getsuga suddenly stopped, turned his head, and took a deep look at Senju Chen.
There was a hint of warning in his eyes.
Senju Chen smiled and said nothing.
Hozuki Getsuga snorted coldly and left with the people.
In the lobby, it finally became quiet.
"Thank you Lord Kiryu for your help."
Kiryu Xiu smiled.
"No need to thank me." He walked to the table and sat down
Kiryu Xiu's tone was very calm, "As you know, it was very difficult for me to face Kirigakure. I was under a lot of pressure just now. If it happens again, there's nothing I can do about it."
"What do you mean?"
"I want 30% of the profits of your store." Kiryu Xiu also didn't pretend at all and directly stated his purpose.
"..."
"Lord Kiryu, you are taking advantage of the situation." Senju Chen smiled, "My store hasn't even opened yet, and you want 30%?"
Kiryu Xiu also laughed.
"If you don't take advantage of the situation, how can you call it business?" His eyes became sharp, "Besides, do you think those people just now would just let it go?"
Senju Chen's smile disappeared.
"You mean..."
"They won't let it go." Kiryu Xiu's tone became serious, "Since they have their eyes on you, they won't let it go easily."
"Unless you have enough backers." Kiryu Xiu looked at Senju Chen, "And I am your best backer."
Senju Chen stared at him and said nothing for a long time.
This old man... is quite right.
Although Kirigakure and Special Assassination and Tactical Squad have withdrawn today, they will definitely not let it go. Sooner or later, they will come to visit us.
And the identity of Kiryu Xiu can indeed help him avoid a lot of troubles.
"Okay."
Senju Chen thought for a moment and decided to agree to the other party, because he knew that what the other party said was right.
"Thirty percent shares, deal done."
Kiryu Xiu smiled.
"I appreciate cheerful people." He stood up, "Then I will wait for your 'Food Is Heaven' to open, and then I will bring you a big gift."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Several guards followed him and quickly disappeared outside the door.
In the lobby, only Senju Chen and Mizuno were left.
Mizuno looked at Senju Chen and hesitated to speak.
"Young Master Chen..." he whispered, "Do you really want to give him 30% of the shares?"
Senju Chen smiled.
"Of course, what the old guy Kiryu Xiu said is right. If Food Is Heaven wants to drive safely in Land of Water, it does need a reliable backer."
He paused.
"But..."
"But what?"
"But it's not that easy to get my money." A hint of cunning flashed in Senju Chen's eyes, "And we are only talking about this one store. 'Food Is Heaven' in other places has nothing to do with him."
Mizuno was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Young Master Chen is brilliant."
Senju Chen said nothing.
He walked to the window and looked out at the street.
Although the Special Assassination and Tactical Squad department of Kirigakure has withdrawn, the matter is far from over.
Hozuki Getsuga clearly saw the look in his eyes before leaving.
It was a look of unwillingness.
Senju Chen knows that the other party will definitely come again.
And next time, I might not be so polite.
"Aying."
"Here."
"Go check the details of Hozuki Getsuga." Senju Chen said in a calm tone, "The more detailed the better."
Aying was stunned for a moment.
"Young Master Chen, do you want to..."
"Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger." Senju Chen turned around, "Since he has targeted me, I have to get to know him."
Aying nodded.
"I understand, I'll do it right now."
