388 Yang Qinhu Arrives (1/2)

”Miss Yukishiro Sa, would you be so kind as to grace me and my friends at my table with your presence?” Qi Dongsheng glanced over Chen Fan and stopped paying attention to him. He put on a graveling smile on his face and said: ”I have always wanted to meet with Master Kitaniwakawa, it would be great if you could introduce me to him one day.”

His words had taken Yukishiro Sa by surprise.

”Mr. Qi. Kitaniwakawa is already dead.” Yukishiro Sa let out an awkward smile.

”What?” Qi Dongsheng was taken aback by the news. ”Master Kitaniwakawa was one of the most powerful Kendo masters in Japan, who would be able to kill him?”

Qi Dongsheng asked as disappointment flickered in his eyes.

Chen Fan watched their interaction from afar. It was evident that Qi Dongsheng really had no clue who he was and what he had done in Japan. He was oblivious of the series of momentous events that had taken place in Japan recently.

Yukishiro Sa glanced at Chen Fan and then answered hesitantly: ”Haven't you heard what had happened in Japan of late? The Yukishiro family got involved and Master Kitaniwakawa died because of it.”

”What has happened in Japan?” The question had taken Qi Dongsheng by surprise. ”Are you talking about the battle between Master Chen and the sword sage, Takemiya Hiro? I have heard that they even destroyed the Tokyo Tower. I was there before the fight and, I even invited Takemiya Hiro for a dinner but he never got back to me.”

After he had said that, Qi Dongsheng let out a sigh.

Qi Dongsheng had been staying in Japan for over ten days. During his stay, he had tried to visit as many Kendo Grandmasters as possible, hoping one of them would help him to fight against Yang Qinhu. However, the racket stirred up by Chen Beixuan had spoiled his plan since all the Grandmasters were busy dealing with Chen Fan and had no time for visitors.

Qi Dongsheng let out a wry smile as he continued.

”I had thought that I could count on Kitaniwakawa, but he is dead now. What should I do now? Did the Dong Sheng Group really come to an end?”

So saying, Qi Dongsheng shook his head disheartened.

Yukishiro Sa and Chen Fan looked at each other knowingly. It was clear that Qi Dongsheng knew nothing of what had happened in Japan. Otherwise, he would never have come all the way to Japan to seek help while help was right under his nose.

If Chen Fan, the most powerful Grandmaster in China and the most powerful man in East Asia were willing to protect him, he wouldn't have to rely on any Kendo Grandmasters.

”Mr. Qi, did Qi Wangsun tell you anything about what had happened?” Yukishiro Sa hazarded.

”Ah, I almost forgot about him. I had already arrived in Japan when he returned home. On another note, Miss Yukishiro Sa, are you still interested in our marriage proposal? I will never walk back on my words.” Qi Dongsheng looked at Yukishiro Sa desperately like a drowning man holding on to the last floating plank.

However small and insignificant the piece of the drifting plank was, this was his last resort.

He had already visited all the Grandmasters in Japan that he could think of and none of them were willing to offer him a helping hand. Yukishiro Sa was his last hope. However, after Qi Dongsheng learned about the death of Kitaniwakawa, he wagered that the Yukishiro family might not have what it took to help him anymore.

Yukishiro Sa was made light hearted by the man's cluelessness. Even as she was going to reply, the MC announced the banquet had started.

Qi Dongsheng swilled the contents in his glass down his throat and told the girl that he would come back to continue the conversation after the banquet was over.

Afer Qi Dongsheng was gone, Yukishiro Sa turned around to Chen Fan and said: ”It sounds like Qi Wangsun didn't tell Qi Dongsheng anything. Otherwise, he shouldn't have ignored you.”

”Maybe he did, but Qi Dongsheng didn't believe his son.” Chen Fan shook his head and said. It was obvious that Qi Dongsheng was a shrewd and cunning businessman and he could not be convinced by his son's wild description of Chen Fan. Plus, Qi Dongsheng said that he had been in Japan even before Qi Wangsun made it home, so it was also likely that the two hadn't got the chance to sit down and go over what had happened yet.

”Whatever, let's watch the show.”

Chen Fan didn't want to waste too much energy on the matter, so he led Yukishiro Sa straight to the front row and sat down.

The cruise manager spared no expense in entertaining their guests. They had not only prepared shows featuring aspiring starlets, but also a K-pop band. Although most of the guests had no idea what they were singing about, their young and salacious performance was well received by the guests.

”I think Kon Jen'yu is going to sing after these girls.”

”I am here only for Kon Jen'yu. I am already sick of these banquets. They are all the same. Give me Kon Jen'yu already!”

”Kon Jen'yu has the look and she has the voice, she is going to be a superstar one day.”

The audience sizzled with anticipation and finally, it was Kon Jen'yu's turn to get on the stage.

Suddenly, all the stage lights were turned off and save for one beam of bright light that illuminated only a small circular spot at the center of the stage. There she was, wearing a long flowy traditional style dress, she appeared in the beam of light.

She pulled her hair back and up in a bun, making her still child-like features on her face slightly more mature. Her body silhouetted against the bright light, looking as gorgeous as a blooming lotus flower under moonlight.

”Is that Kon Jen'yu? I remember that I like a few of her songs in my past life.”

Chen Fan reflected on his past as he enjoyed Kon Jen'yu's famous song called ”Incarnation.”
