death of hope

Chapter 749 "Savage Growth" (166) Reincarnation of Fate

The farewell ceremony was held in a garden house two blocks away from the cemetery.

This villa is a family property on the mountain. It has neither been lived in nor rented out. It has been abandoned for many years and is now put to use.

An old housekeeper and an old gardener are responsible for repairing buildings, cleaning and planting branches here.

This is a job for the elderly. The two old people never thought that this secluded place would one day gather thousands of people to hold such a grand ceremony;

The original open space was turned into a parking lot, and all the people who came there were well-known people, so naturally they would not take too many cars. It was like a luxury car exhibition was held.

The front yard, the backyard, and both sides of the cobblestone path are filled with wreaths with black elegiac couplets.

·
On the periphery of the site, a once-in-a-century wonder appeared;
The colonial peace officer in uniform and a big-brimmed hat actually stood with the members of the Sannokai in black suits and sunglasses on duty, maintaining order on the scene together.
The two groups of gangsters and white people looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, which was a little embarrassing and a little funny.

They used plastic tape to set up a temporary cordon, and guests could enter only after showing their invitations.

A large group of reporters and self-media bloggers crowded outside the parking lot carrying photographic equipment.

A few brave ones tried to sneak into the yard from the bushes to take pictures, but were quickly caught and escorted by staff members back to the cordon in dejection.

Some of these so-called 'media people' are working normally, some are backed by powerful forces, and some are just trying to gain attention and traffic.

Whatever their motives, these people were treated with kindness and decorum;

The host family built several semi-open pergolas for them, with tables and chairs inside, as well as self-service drinks and meals, and they were used as open-air lounges.

·
When the senator's motorcade arrived, the media members put down their Cokes and chocolate pies.
He raised the camera and pressed the shutter frantically in the direction of the car, making a clicking sound.

Lost in the wild, Tsuneaki lowered the window and was looking for a figure.
When she saw the tall and handsome young man coming over and respectfully opening the door for her, the old lady couldn't hide her joy:

"Hello, young man."

"We meet again, Senator." Tetsuya Yamama bowed deeply;
This flattery is just right,
The Senator was very satisfied with the title 'Lord' because she came from Terra's old aristocratic system.

"My little mouth is covered with honey~" The old lady covered her mouth and smiled.

"All of us at the Sanno Club feel deeply honored to have the Senator here."

"Young man, we have been friends for many years. It's okay not to say this kind of official language."

"Sorry, in front of the camera, I can only pretend to be meeting you for the first time, so as not to be caught by those tabloid reporters."

"You're not very young, but you know a lot. He's a talent that can be made."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Tetsuya held up the wrinkled old hand, and without disdain at all, he bent down and kissed the hand.

People say that old people have a strange smell, similar to the smell of urine, ammonia, and the smell of death.

But Shan Tetsuya didn't care about this, he only smelled the smell of power, the breath of the strong.

An old man and a young man walked side by side towards the bungalow, and the senator whispered:
"Your father passed away too suddenly. He was still very healthy when he was here last time."

"Yeah, who would have thought."

"My old friend passed away, I should have rushed here immediately,

But recently, the old foxes of the Red (Conservative) Party have been making trouble during the vote on the bill to increase the debt ceiling, which delayed it for three days. "

"Thank you for your hard work. You still took time out of your busy schedule to see dad off. Please come here."

·
The interior of the bungalow has already been decorated.

All the colorful decorations related to joy and celebration have been taken away or painted in black and white.

In the flower garden at the end of the mourning hall, there is a huge golden nanmu coffin displayed.
There are several rows of folding chairs in the middle, reserved for family members and gang leaders.

The illegitimate son Musashi has been granted the right to use the mountain family name. For some unknown reason, he did not take his seat.
Instead, he stood silently beside the coffin, keeping vigil like a dutiful son.

This is completely inconsistent with his usual image of being careless and unreasonable.

There was no frivolity or indifference on Musashi's face, but there was no sadness either. I had no idea what he was thinking.
As the saying goes, dogs that bite don't like to bark, and the illegitimate son's low-key and forbearing behavior makes Toru even more worried. (What is this guy Musashi thinking? First, build a good impression, and then take the opportunity to ask what to discuss with the Kyokushin Group...) Toru also frowned and thought about it.

He was still thinking about what Uncle Deng said in the car;
(Uncle Deng’s informant must be lying. How could Big Brother Wen betray his father!
It must be Musashi! It must be him!
Stop pretending, bastard...

You will have to show your fox tail later, just wait and see! )
·
Sitting in the front row was the wife of the deceased. Lady on the Mountain was draped in black gauze, her head lowered listlessly, and she could be heard sobbing softly.

The senator walked over, hugged the grieving woman, rubbed her back, and said words of comfort.
When she returned to Tetsuya, she whispered to him;

"Young man, please comfort your mother.

She and your father were childhood sweethearts and their true love was so deep that they couldn't get over it within a few years. "

"Indeed." Cheru also nodded: "Mom and dad have a very good relationship. They rarely quarrel over the years. They are considered a model couple in the Taoist tradition."

The senator's sharp gaze swept over everyone in the mourning hall, and suddenly he narrowed his eyes;
"Why does that guy with glasses look so familiar?"

"That's my eldest brother Bunta."

"Your brother?"

The senator was a little surprised:
"What a haggard face, I almost didn't recognize him."

"Brother Wen has been sick for the past six months and can't keep himself up."

"He shouldn't be like this at his age. He lacks exercise. He should learn from you and practice his boxing and kicking skills."

"Brother is a top student who graduated from a prestigious school~" Tetsuya said with a smile:
"It's impossible for me, a scumbag, to drink and fight all day long."

·
Just as he was talking, a graceful black figure came to him lightly and made a pleasant voice:

"Dear Senator, please take this."

The old lady took the white tulip from the man and looked at him carefully.

As the old saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you must be filial. This saying is particularly suitable for Shan Keiko.
Lady's hat with black crystal hairnet, double-breasted vintage jacket, woolen skirt, nylon stockings, all in black from top to bottom,

It outlines the elegant temperament and highlights the beautiful figure. The beautiful eyes and red lips looming under the black gauze add to the mystery.

"It's amazing, absolutely amazing~" The old lady nodded in approval:
"Miss Keiko has inherited my father's aura and my mother's beauty. Once a man's eyes move to you, it will be difficult to look away."

"Thank you for your compliment~" Yamayama Keiko said politely:

"The ceremony is about to begin. Your Excellency, please come this way."

(Keiko Yamayama...this little girl is not simple~) The old lady nodded silently.

·
The senator followed closely the family members and placed the white tulips in his hands on the golden nanmu coffin.

She looked through the small open window on the coffin and took one last look at her old friend the hero on the mountain.

Many years ago, when Tsunesaki Yano was still young (Chapter 60),

I once saw a group of hot-blooded teenagers fighting in the streets of New Sapporo.

One of them, a tall man wearing a black stand-up collar uniform, beat him particularly fiercely.

Many years later, Yano Tsusaki became a senator and one of the most powerful women in the Human Federation of Terra.

The young mountain hero is not simple either. He has grown up to be the strongest man in the New Sapporo underworld amidst the flash of swords and shadows.

Now, she is old, and the passionate young man she once was has turned into withered bones in the grave.

(I often wander around the rivers and lakes, how can I not get stabbed...)
The old lady used her old and rough palms to rub the wood texture of the coffin and bid farewell to her old friend.

She turned to look at the boy's son, Tetsuya Yamayama.
(So ​​similar...really so similar.)
Memories from decades ago flooded my mind, as if the mountain hero climbed out of the coffin and became younger...

Yano Tsunesaki couldn't help but sigh, the reincarnation of fate.

(It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend it.

Boy, I hope you are the one who survives to the end. )
