death of hope

"Dong dong dong..."

(what sound?)

Yamato Tetsuya suddenly woke up, sat up, and stared at the bedroom door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Who?!"

"Master, you are going to be late." The servant knocking on the door said:

"You told me before that there will be a midterm exam, so let us remind you."

"Thank you...I know..."

"Master, please wash up first, and I'll tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast."

·
  I staggered, my slippers were kicked to nowhere, my feet were bare, and the coldness spread from the soles of my feet to my whole body;

(I feel so dizzy...)
  Confused and in a daze, I walked to the bathroom like this:

(I can’t remember how many cups I drank yesterday…)
  Washing his face, shaving, and brushing his teeth, Yamato Tetsuya stared at the toothpaste foam being washed away by the tap water, staring at the whirlpool of the running water,

The conversation at the wine table last night echoed in my ears:
  (You have a very cowardly temperament, and you are not the type to be a gangster at all.)
  By the way, it was this sentence that touched his weakness,

He was so annoyed and so angry that he drank too much and gave him a headache.

(Could it be... that I was so angry because I was really cowardly and was criticized...) When he was drunk, he had been trying his best to deny this idea.

I took a sip of Colgate mouthwash, gargled it and spit it out. The trace of alcohol smell remaining at the roots of my teeth was also eliminated.
  Yamato Tetsuya looked at himself in the mirror,
  Neatly manicured and smooth-skinned, he looks like a rich young man who grew up in a greenhouse and has not experienced any weather.

(How could I... be like this? I look like such a bitch!)
  ·
  Yamato Toru was also very dissatisfied with his own image. He messed up his hair and had a fierce expression. He rubbed his face hard with a dry towel until it hurt.

He wanted to look like a bad guy, like a ruthless gangster. After tinkering for a long time, he was still not satisfied.

In the mirror, he still looks like a young man with no hair at all, and he just has the word "cowardice" written on his face.

"Boom!" With a sound, he hammered the marble washstand, his hands hurting; the resentment in his heart suddenly burst out:

(Cowardly? How is that possible? I am so fearless!
  If someone is good at sprinting, Go or table tennis, then his specialty must be fighting.

From elementary school to junior high school, he defeated countless powerful enemies in Kurose. How could he be so cowardly? !
  I am the heir to the Shan family! Ohno Shintake is an idiot! Just put the nonsense there! If you make me angry... If it were normal, I would definitely beat him up!
  But in the current situation, we can only temporarily form an alliance with him to deal with Kasahara Tetsuya's demon fox and then compete for Kurose's throne.
  When the time comes, I will prove, Ohno-senpai, that you are the cowardly one...)
  I walked down the stairs thoughtfully. The servants had prepared a sumptuous meal.
  One person, one set of cutlery, eating alone;

"Where's daddy?"

"The master of the house left early in the morning," the servant bowed and replied, "There is an important meeting to attend."

"Musashi followed?"

"Yes."

Tetsuya's face darkened, he instantly lost his appetite, and threw the remaining sandwich back on the plate:
  "Dad is really using that guy more and more..." He wiped his mouth, got up and walked out of the restaurant.

The servant chased after him worriedly: "Master... breakfast is not to your liking..." "It's delicious, but I have to go."

Grab a newspaper and read it while walking;

·
  As the two giant companies, the conflict between Mitsubishi Corporation and Sakura Corporation becomes increasingly fierce,
  The entire city of New Sapporo is filled with an unsettling smell of gunpowder.
  In addition to the business competition on the surface, the underground world is also turbulent.
  The two major gangs, the Sanno Kai and the Kyokushin Group, are the black forces under the two major corporations. Conflicts frequently break out.
  Under such a background, the mansion of the Hero of the Mountain, the boss of the Sannokai New Sapporo branch, naturally became heavily guarded.
  ·
  I threw the newspaper aside, put on my school uniform, and as soon as I went out, I saw bodyguards with guns and ammunition standing in the yard.
  In order to prevent vehicle collisions and raids, several chains were hung at the entrance of the yard to block it off.

(It’s too exaggerated, this place looks like a fortress...)
  After passing through the checkpoints and exiting the courtyard, there was a long row of black luxury cars parked on the road. Hundreds of Sannokai members in formal attire stood respectfully beside the cars, lowering their heads and listening to the lectures.

The leader who spoke was already gray-haired and over fifty years old. He assigned today's tasks. His subordinates bowed in unison, got in the car and drove away from the mansion.

After everyone left, Tohru went up to him and hugged the elderly leader as cordially as he would hug his parents or relatives:
  "Uncle Deng!"

"What time is it? You kid, you are going to be late again!"

"In a place like Kurose, there's no such thing as lateness."

"If you don't study hard, you might as well sleep at home."

"There's a midterm exam this afternoon, and I have to go find a buddy to review it."

"Did I hear you right? Kurose still has to take an exam!? Is he writing papers and doing questions?"

"Otherwise, why don't we drag the students out to fight, sit in a row with the teacher, and remove the one with the highest score and the one with the lowest score~"

"Hahaha, that kind of exam is suitable for Kurose~"

Uncle Deng was so amused that he laughed and opened the car door:

"Come on, let's give you a ride and let's talk."

·
  In peacetime, the gang boss's drivers are all the most trustworthy old subordinates in the gang, who are in a state similar to semi-retirement.

On weekdays, I protect the boss, but when the situation becomes tense, I naturally can no longer give in and become the driver.
  These experienced veterans will reunite their old teams and be at the forefront of gang disputes.

Uncle Deng is such a person, the veteran that the mountain family relies on most.

Although he is in an Oriental gang, he is not of Oriental ethnicity. He is actually of Chinese ethnicity, and his real name is Chen Yideng.

When he was in his hometown, he was an errand boy in the "Triads".

A murder was committed during a gang fight. He took an interstellar flight and fled to New Sapporo, a colony where Asian ethnic groups gather.
  He returned to his old career, joined the Mountain King Club, and became famous with the boss of the Mountain Heroes.

The elders of the Sannohui gave him the nickname "Master Yideng", which corresponds to a character in a martial arts novel.

In fact, Uncle Deng did practice martial arts when he was young. Although he is not as evil as the heroes in the novel, his fighting ability is not a joke.
  To this day, there is still a legend circulating in the world about the Sannohui's "Master Yideng" holding a nine-ring sword in both hands, cutting down more than a dozen Kyokushin warriors with one person, and riding the savior alone.

He saved the boss's life and went through life and death. The boss also treated him as a family member.
  Tetsuya Yamayama, the boss’s favorite youngest son, he watched him grow up.

From a babbling baby to a tall and straight young man today,
  Whenever Tetsuya got into trouble, he would always help him plead for mercy. When Tetsuya got into a fight, he would help bail him out.
  The two talked about everything and absolutely trusted each other. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were like father and son.
  One thing is certain, if one day the hero on the mountain retires or encounters something unexpected,
  When the gang meets, Uncle Deng will definitely be the first to raise his hand to support Tetsuya in inheriting the family business.
