Chapter 842 The Beginning of the War (21)
The meeting was eventually arranged on a bench in a park. Since Masato Shichijo did not notify Jun Inuyama in advance, the moment he saw his son appear, he could not even run away.
The father and son finally sat on the bench and were silent for a while. They didn't know what words to start with. One was a father who had disappeared without a trace for a long time, and the other was a man who lived alone in the steel jungle. My son, since we haven’t seen each other for a long time, we have nothing in common.
"Well..." Inuyama Jun finally spoke first. He looked at the two eldest brothers not far away and asked: "Who... are they?"
Inuyama Heita replied dully: "Because a lot of things have happened recently and the Hope Sect has become too rampant, so Brother Oto hired someone to protect me."
"Ah, is that so?" Inuyama nodded: "Mr. Qian is still very reliable... but he actually told you about me. Really, it was not agreed..."
"So you don't want me to know that you are still alive?" Heita Inuyama asked: "You don't want to see me?"
"No, of course not!" Inuyama Jun quickly denied, his eyes evasive: "I... I just don't want to cause you any trouble. You should know about my affairs, misappropriation of company funds, debts..."
"Yes." Inuyama Heita agreed, and then the two fell into silence again, and the awkward atmosphere began to spread.
Not far away, Masato Shichijo, who was peeping with a telescope, grinned and murmured: "Ah... even I, the bystander, am embarrassed. These father and son have completely the same virtues. They are both boring gourds, so they can't say anything." To break the misunderstanding? ”
Takeru folded his arms and shook his head: "Inuyama clan's kid looks very ordinary, but in fact he is very stubborn and easily gets into trouble... It seems that this meeting may not be that easy. Shichijo clan, you seem to have made a mistake this time. ”
Masato Shichijo complained: "Hey, I can't wait until Heitaro's father goes to jail before I tell him about this, right?"
"But, I have a question." Takeru asked: "Can't the Shichijo Consortium help Mr. Inuyama's debt? Not to mention helping him pay it off for free, but at least we can think of some ways to keep him from going to jail, right?" br>
"Of course I've thought about the problem you mentioned." Masato Shichijo shook his head: "I suggested to him that the Shichijo Consortium could help him by first lending him a loan to make up for his debt, and then repaying it slowly. This would also allow him to avoid paying the debt. He was sentenced to prison, but Mr. Inuyama refused. ”
"Eh?" Takeru was confused: "Why? Doesn't he even trust you in the Shichijo clan?"
"I refuse not because I don't believe in Masato." On the bench, Jun Inuyama suddenly turned to his son and said: "It's because I no longer believe in any huge organization gathered by interests. Maybe Masato Shichijo is trustworthy. A good guy, but even he can't guarantee it The Shichijo Consortium will not turn to the side of profit. Ping Tai, after so many years, I have understood one thing, that is, capital will only aim to strengthen itself. People have humanity, but capital does not. It is a treasure disguised as a dazzling golden light. The cruel monster ”
Inuyama Heita looked at Inuyama Jun, a little confused as to why he suddenly said this.
"I know Masato might want you to persuade me and agree to accept his help, but..." Jun Inuyama continued: "Although this method does seem to save me from jail now, I cannot guarantee that I will accept it. Will there be other risks after this transaction? I have done a lot of wrong things, and I can no longer transfer this risk and responsibility to you because of my own reasons. In contrast, going to jail will make I feel more at ease.”
Inuyama Heita frowned: "Is this why you want to take the initiative to go to jail?" Inuyama Jun seemed to have misunderstood Inuyama Heita's meaning. He said: "You don't have to worry about the house. I have asked Masato about this. Bank It won't be taken away, and my imprisonment will not affect your studies, and the school will not know about it. I will slowly pay back those debts after I get out..."
Inuyama Heita's chest was rising and falling.
"By the way, Heita, now that we're talking about this." Inuyama Jun said: "Are you... going to participate in the parade later? You are just a high school student, what can you do? I will tell Mr. Qian, please ask him I don’t want you to participate, you just need to study at school with peace of mind..."
"That's enough!" Inuyama Heita was very angry. He stood up and said, "One by one... they are always like this, talking to themselves, making decisions without permission, and being moved without permission! I haven't seen anyone for so many years, and now I have to use Does my father’s majesty control what I do?”
Inuyama Jun's momentum weakened a bit: "It's not like that, I'm just worried about you. You are just a child and should not be involved in such dangerous things. Let us adults do it..."
"We have nothing to talk about anymore." Inuyama Heita sneered, turned and walked outside without looking back: "I make my own decisions about my affairs."
"Heita..." Jun Inuyama could only watch Heita Inuyama leave, unable to do anything.
Masato Nanijou put down the telescope and sighed: "Ah...it seems that the conversation has broken down. What on earth did they talk about? How could the atmosphere become so tense?"
"Inuyama-shi is usually very gentle." Takeru shook his head: "Only when his bottom line has been touched, or he has been suppressed to the limit, will he show such a look. I'm afraid Mr. Inuyama said something that made Inuyama-shi angry. ?”
Masato Shichijo shook his head: "This is self-defeating. I hope they won't blame me for making arbitrary decisions, right? Forget it, let's go over and ask."
They came to Jun Inuyama. The middle-aged man was sitting on a chair with his head lowered and holding his head, muttering to himself in pain: "What stupid thing have I done again... I am really a failed man."
"Mr. Inuyama, why did Heitaro leave?" Masato Shichijo asked: "It seems that he was very angry. Did you say something that you shouldn't have said?"
"Heitaro?" Inuyama Jun was a little disinterested: "I just want to fulfill the responsibilities of a father. Heita is just a high school student. This is not a shonen comic that allows high school students to save the world, so I want him to be good. Just stay in school and let us adults handle the dangerous things..."
"That's it." Masato Shichijo had the opposite opinion to his words: "You underestimate him too much. Heitaro is not an ordinary high school student. His determination is not inferior to that of most adults. He He is a stronger warrior than us, and he has faced enemies that even appear in nightmares. Although he is much younger than me, I have always treated him as an equal adult, and you don’t. It’s up to him to make the decision.”
"But he is just one..." Inuyama Jun lowered his head deeply and smiled bitterly: "Yes, after living alone for so many years, he should have grown up long ago. He has his own companions and friends. And I always thought he was the helpless little boy he was many years ago.”
"Could it be that..." Inuyama Jun sighed: "I really did something wrong?"
