Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Hearing the question asked in a deep voice, Ye Xing simply shook his head and playfully teased.

"Why do you always have to say some nonsense before a fight? Is it a set thing...?"

Halfway through his sentence, Ye Xing suddenly flashed, like a nimble beast, slightly hunched over, and appeared directly in front of one of the men in suits.

"First."

Ye Xing punched the other man in the abdomen, clearly feeling a thick layer of body armor beneath the suit.

The man in the suit, upon being hit, only felt his vision darken and, without even time to think, fell directly to the ground.

Seeing this, the other man in the suit only had one thought in his mind.

Damn, you don't play by the rules, do you!?

Without even a greeting, you just attack?

"Second."

As the words fell, the other man in the suit also felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He didn't even see Ye Xing's movements clearly before his vision went black and he collapsed to the ground.

"Just ordinary people..."

After knocking down the two men in suits, Ye Xing didn't relax but looked towards the door of the activity room.

The sound of a cane tapping against the ground came closer and closer.

"Cough cough."

Wearing a traditional Sakura Province outfit, Si Gong Yanan, with a cane in his hand, looked noticeably unhealthy, his body as withered as a tree about to die.

After entering the music activity room, he first closed the door, glanced at the two men in suits lying on the ground, then raised his head to look at Ye Xing, coughed lightly twice, and said meaningfully.

"As expected of... the person who represented Yukinoshita Company in the fighting competition and killed Wu Lei'an. My two bodyguards, both former fighters, can't even last one round against you. It's truly shocking."

After saying this, Si Gong Yanan tried hard to adjust his breathing, as if, in his current state, simply speaking and walking were things that required all his strength.

"Hello, Ye Xing-san. My name is Si Gong Yanan, and I am Si Gong Huiye's... father."

Ye Xing didn't respond directly but sized up Si Gong Yanan in front of him.

If he remembered correctly, the other man was not yet sixty years old, which, for a tycoon of this level, could be said to be the prime of his life, not at all like the old, frail figure he was now.

It seems he has a serious illness.

"The current head of the Si Gong Conglomerate has actually appeared before me in person. I'm truly honored."

Ye Xing looked at Si Gong Yanan standing in front of him, the distance between them no more than five meters, and said with a smile.

"Si Gong-san, you should be very clear that at this distance, it wouldn't even take me a second to kill you."

"Of course, I know."

Si Gong Yanan coughed lightly twice, looked at a chair placed to the side, and didn't sit down directly but asked first.

"My health isn't very good. May I sit down and talk?"

"No problem. Please, sit."

After sitting down, Si Gong Yanan glanced at the two bodyguards lying on the ground, who, although unconscious, still had chests rising and falling, their lives not in danger, and said in a deep voice.

"Although I myself am not a fighter, I've watched many fighting competitions. I can tell that you held back. Thank you."

Then, Si Gong Yanan said to himself.

"The top student in the Sakura Province joint college entrance examination, achieving first place in the joint examination of two high schools, defeating the genius of Shūchiin Academy. These obvious titles are not the reason I've come to find you today."

Speaking of this, Si Gong Yanan paused, looked directly into Ye Xing's eyes, and although he appeared sickly and near death, the aura of someone who had been in a high position for many years was still revealed at this moment.

"Collaborating with Oda Noto, making him the mastermind behind the most famous exorcist in Kyoto City, representing Yukinoshita Company in the fighting competition and winning with overwhelming force, and also having a deep relationship with Yagami Soichiro, the chief of the Kyoto Criminal Bureau, and his son, Yagami Light."

"You are an interesting person, Ye Xing-san."

Hearing Si Gong Yanan's words, Ye Xing's expression didn't change at all, still maintaining that frivolous, uncaring smile.

"With the status of the Si Gong family head, I originally thought you would have found out these things yesterday after Si Gong Huiye-san went to Sobu High, but I didn't expect it to take more than a day. That doesn't quite meet my expectations of you."

Si Gong Yanan didn't show any displeasure upon hearing this but shook his head seriously.

"As the current commander of the Si Gong family, it's very simple for me to investigate someone's information."

Speaking of this, Si Gong Yanan changed the subject.

"However, if I want to prevent others from knowing which person I'm interested in, without leaving any traces, my prominent position as the Si Gong family's commander becomes an obstacle. I don't want my investigation of you to lead to exposing my weaknesses, nor do I want you to receive attention from others, so the time was a bit slower."

Si Gong Yanan wasn't lying; he was telling the truth.

Although he was the commander of the Si Gong Conglomerate, possessing connections and wealth that ordinary people couldn't imagine, he still needed to be very cautious in this matter.

Investigating a high school student was not difficult for Si Gong Yanan, but the difficulty lay in how to prevent anyone from knowing that he was investigating a high school student.

For this reason, he could only entrust it to the most trusted people around him, even doing it himself, to ensure that no information was leaked and no traces were left behind.

Finding the connection between Oda Noto and Ye Xing wasn't difficult. After all, the monthly bank transfer records were there, and combined with the time when Oda Noto became famous, one could infer the relationship between the two.

The identity of the fighter wasn't hard to find either, since not only Mrs. Yukinoshita and Yang Nai were present at the time, but also the Wu clan and Kyoto Municipal Bank as opponents.

The only thing that made Si Gong Yanan feel a little uneasy was this.

That was the relationship between Ye Xing and Yagami Light... or rather, the relationship between Ye Xing and Yagami Soichiro.

These two people shouldn't have any intersection.

If one had to say, there was indeed one, that was, the simple connection between his son's friend and his friend's father, as well as Ye Xing's name appearing on the list of personnel present in several sudden incidents.

If it was just that, Si Gong Yanan wouldn't have felt anything, perhaps it was just a coincidence.

But the problem was, it was too clean.

Even within the Kyoto Prefectural Police, Si Gong Yanan had connections.

That's why he discovered that in the several incidents where Ye Xing appeared, the case records were too clean, one might even say, clean to the point of being abnormal.

The terrorist attack at the amusement park, the truck crashing into the Western restaurant, and the hostage-taking at the private Toyonosaki Academy...

In these three incidents, Yexing was present, but according to the case records, he was completely uninvolved, with no connection to the events themselves, not even the slightest detail worth suspecting.

Too clean. Sigu Gongyan'an felt that something was wrong.

The problem is... with Ye Shenzong Yilang's promising future and his rigid, serious personality, why would he do such a thing?

Unless...

The astonishing but logical guess in his mind was the reason why Sigu Gongyan'an personally came to Zongwu High School today.

"Mr. Sigu, if I'm not mistaken, you're here to discuss cooperation with me, right?"

Yexing looked interested. Even when facing someone as high-ranking as Sigu Gongyan'an, there was no trace of nervousness on his face, which made Sigu Gongyan'an even more certain of his guess.

"Now, state your conditions."

Hearing this, Sigu Gongyan'an nodded and said in a deep voice.

"As you can see, my physical condition is not very good. Perhaps a year, or perhaps two. In short, I am not long for this world."

"Student Yexing, perhaps you are not very clear. Although the Sigu Conglomerate looks glamorous, the internal situation is very complicated. There is nothing unusual now only because I am still alive and can suppress those with malicious intentions."

"After I die, those vultures hiding in the dark will only shed a few fake tears at my funeral, and then they will start to compete unscrupulously, trying to divide up all the benefits."

"As my daughter, the eldest daughter of the Sigu Conglomerate, Huiye, although she is very talented, to be honest, I don't think that after I die, without any connections in the main family, she, a mere high school student, will be able to protect herself in such a complex and dangerous situation."

"Poisoning, assassination, slander, those people can do anything for profit. It's a ruthless struggle without any bottom line."

Speaking of this, Sigu Gongyan'an paused, coughed violently twice, then looked at Yexing and said in a deep voice.

"If... you are really the person I think you are, even in that kind of situation after my death, you can protect Huiye, this is what I, as a father, hope to get your help with."

After listening to this, Yexing restrained his smile and said lightly.

"Mr. Sigu, my relationship with Student Sigu Huiye can only be said to be acquaintance. It is far from the point where you can entrust her to me. It is really inappropriate to make such a request rashly."

"Skip those steps."

Sigu Gongyan'an waved his hand, getting straight to the point.

"If you are willing to help, you can name your conditions. It's not that I'm arrogant or conceited, but I think that with my current status as the head of the Sigu Conglomerate, I should have exploitable value for you."

From the moment he entered the door, Sigu Gongyan'an had adopted a very low posture. He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had been like this, perhaps never in his life.

However, Yexing was different.

If his guess was correct, if the other party was that person... then the other party's ability far exceeded the scope of mere money and power. He was a truly powerful person in the true sense of the word.

For example, now, in terms of status, Sigu Gongyan'an, as the head of the largest conglomerate in Sakura Province, could be said to be above everyone else, and a sudden decision could affect the future of tens of thousands of people.

However, he was still just an ordinary human being.

Sigu Gongyan'an didn't know where "Mask's" ability came from, and had never heard of anyone being able to do what "Mask" had done before.

But he had a premonition.

Not only the Sigu Conglomerate, but the entire world was already on the verge of being out of control and insane.

For Huiye's safety... Sigu Gongyan'an was willing to adopt such a low posture.

"I see... Mr. Sigu's sincerity is indeed very strong."

Yexing nodded, extended his right hand to Sigu Gongyan'an, and said with a slight smile.

"In that case, let's consider the deal reached for now. Later, I will make some conditions. If you cannot accept them, the deal will be cancelled."

"I understand."

Seeing that Yexing didn't immediately make monetary demands, Sigu Gongyan'an breathed a sigh of relief and shook Yexing's hand.

He knew that he had come to the right place today.

The other party didn't seem to care much about things like money. Thinking about it, with "Mask's" ability, mere money was easily obtained.

Then what was Yexing interested in...?

Was it his daughter, Sigu Huiye, herself?

...

On the other side, in the commercial street.

"Setsuna, eat this."

Toma Kazusa used a fork to pick up a soft and glutinous daifuku and brought it to Ogiso Setsuna's lips. After watching the other party take a bite, she put it back to her own mouth without any care, took another bite where Setsuna had bitten, and her face was full of happy expression.

"It's so delicious, sweet and soft."

Listening to Toma Kazusa's words, Toma Kazusa was clearly commenting on the taste of the daifuku, but for some reason, the scene of the other party and Yexing kissing in front of the music activity room window appeared in Ogiso Setsuna's mind.

"Um..."

Toma Kazusa noticed that Ogiso Setsuna's emotions didn't seem to be very high and asked with concern.

"What's wrong, Setsuna? Are you too tired from singing today? Do you want to find a place to sit down and rest for a while?"

"No, I'm fine."

Ogiso Setsuna forced a smile and said softly.

"I... I'm just a little tired, but it's okay."

"Is that so? Let's find a place to sit for a while."

Although Toma Kazusa noticed Ogiso Setsuna's strangeness, she didn't think about it that way.

There's too much of a version difference.

The earliest version was who could compete and win to unlock the lover ending with Yexing.

The mid-term version was who could compete and win to block the opponent's path, and people who were close to them would unlock the lover ending with Yexing together.

Later versions were milk battles, which didn't affect the ending, just rushing to play.

The current version is that the Super Power Society urgently needs more spirit power users to become members of the harem, and even conduct its own SLG conquest mode to expand the scale of the harem.

From Toma Kazusa's perspective, Yexing said that the three of them would form a band for a lifetime, and the three of them would always be together. She also cherished Setsuna as a friend and didn't want to lose the other party. Ogiso Setsuna also had to obediently join the luxury harem package.

But from Ogiso Setsuna's perspective, it became that Toma Kazusa and Yexing had reached a lover relationship, and she had become an outsider. The impact of the middle school confession isolation incident meant that such a relationship between the three people could not continue. One day, she would be abandoned by those two people.

Ogiso Setsuna was thinking about how to continue to maintain the relationship between the three people in such a situation, and how to continue to stay by Toma Kazusa and Yexing's side.

As for Toma Kazusa?
