Chapter 277: Imprisonment, accident, action
"Can I do the same?"
Ezaki Tetsuichiro smiled without any concern.
"Probably, if I were younger, I would indeed be able to do such a thing."
"But now that I am older, I no longer value these things. ”
Tetsuichiro Ezaki sighed with emotion: "Are you still no match for young people?"
"Grandfather."
Hearing what he said, Naoto Ezaki, who mistakenly thought that his grandfather was ready to give up resistance, suddenly saw something in front of his eyes. Bright.
However, the other person's next words made him freeze in place.
“But, no matter what, it’s okay.”
Tetsuichiro Ezaki picked up the tea cup and took a sip. When he put it down again, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
"Capturing all my uncles is too cruel a method. If you are really allowed to act recklessly here, the Esaki family does not need to wait until they are controlled by outsiders in the future. Now It will fall apart."
"I will not allow you to attend chamber of commerce meetings and parliamentary elections as a representative of the Esaki family, so just give up," he said coldly.
“.”
Ezaki Naoto’s expression instantly darkened.
He didn't speak anymore, but took several deep breaths before calming down the raging emotions in his heart.
"Grandpa, you value these relatives who are absolutely useless."
Naoto Esaki almost said these words through his teeth.
I saw him gritting his teeth and saying: "Why did your eldest son, my father, and your second son, Suguha's father leave at the beginning? Grandpa doesn't know yet? ”
“Just because there are fewer biological children, and there are more descendants of brothers and sisters, is it too much to favor one over the other? You must know that they are your biological sons.”
< br>
"You won't understand." Tetsuichiro Ezaki shook his head and said slowly, "I didn't realize this at the time, so this regret happened."
"I realize it now. Now, I will not agree with your approach."
Ezaki Tetsuichiro paused, and then increased his volume.
“I have done this exact multiple-choice question countless times in my life. The question and answer are obviously the same, but I choose the wrong answer every time.”
“I finally understood later that this was not because of the answer I chose, nor because I made a mistake in judgment, but because the question itself was wrong.”
"Naoto, you still need to calm down and think about it."
Ezaki Tetsuichiro came over, patted his shoulder and added: "At least don't make the same mistake as me."
Naoto Esaki stood up from the ground with a cold face. Looking at the short and sturdy old man standing in front of him, he shook his head with some disappointment.
"Sorry grandpa, I won't let you get out of here."
As soon as the words fell, a large number of bodyguards in black suits poured in from outside the tea room. They were entering After entering the tea room, they quickly formed a row against the wall of the room, tightly surrounding the entire tea room.
It was obvious that Naoto Esaki was also well-prepared and could ensure that his grandfather could stay in the old house peacefully for a week.
As for why he brought so many people, of course there was a reason.
Naoto Esaki couldn't beat his grandfather. In order to avoid being beaten up by the opponent with a copper-tipped leather belt, of course he had to bring more people with him.
"Grandpa, please stay here peacefully this week."
After seeing all the people he arranged finally come in, Naoto Esaki also showed a confident expression.
"After the Chamber of Commerce and the election are over, I will evacuate these people as soon as possible."
He said in a sincere tone: "And the relatives who were arrested will also be safe. Come back.”
Come back?
Can't come back even a little bit.
Come back and continue to hinder yourself? Not supporting them when they are needed most, waiting until next week when everything is settled, and letting them come back to enjoy the fruits of victory?
Even if Naoto Esaki can agree, other members of the party he has joined will not allow such a thing to happen.
So he is just telling lies with his eyes open here.
Obviously, Tetsuichiro Esaki also understands this.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed.
The old man's laughter had a boldness that did not match his old appearance. When he laughed, it seemed as if the whole house was shaking. Such a cheerful look made Naoto Esaki suddenly confused.
What is grandfather laughing at? He is smiling so happily?
Naoto Esaki was a little stunned. It wasn't until some sawdust fell on him from the ceiling that he raised his head belatedly.
Is that an illusion? Wasn't the house shaking from laughter? !
Ezaki Naoto's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes gradually became frightened. The next moment, the ceiling collapsed without warning.
The purely wooden beam structure was instantly shattered, and a large number of wood chips were flying in the air. A bodyguard who had no time to react was even more affected and was pressed underneath by a large piece of wooden ceiling.
Several bodyguards were injured by the flying pieces of wood, but fortunately the injuries were not serious.
The ceiling fell down as if it was destroying the central tea table. However, when the dust and smoke dissipated, everyone saw clearly that it was not the ceiling, but a person.
He broke the ceiling and jumped down from above.
With a tall and straight posture and an expressionless face, he placed a bamboo sword on the ground like a cane.
"No wonder the old woman specifically asked me to pick out a bamboo sword when she led me upstairs."
He said as if talking to himself: "Is it originally going to be used in this place?"
“I originally thought it was a literature exam, but I didn’t expect it would be a physical exam.”
Sawayama Haruno grinned and shouted towards where Tetsuichiro Ezaki was: “Old man , The old woman just told me that as long as I let you leave from here, Suguha will be mine from now on, right?"
He eavesdropped on the whole process upstairs, and combined with the old woman From time to time, he would add explanations to the side, which made him understand the current situation.
To be honest, Naoto Esaki was far more ruthless than he imagined. He didn't expect that he would kill all of his relatives at the request of him.
It was precisely because of this ruthlessness that he hesitated. After all, no one could guarantee that Naoto Esaki would win until the end. If he lost, the counterattack from other forces would only be more severe. Seriously, when the time comes, Suguha Ezaki, the other person who is expected to succeed the family head, will definitely be implicated.
For Haruno Sawayama, the brother-in-law went too far.
I believe my grandfather also understood this truth, so he said last time that he would help him with multiple-choice questions.
Before he went upstairs just now, he emphasized this matter again.
To be honest, it doesn't matter if things develop to this point, it doesn't matter whether you choose or not. Haruno Sawayama only needs to bring the word "Master" outside the mansion to pick up Suguha Esaki.
No matter what happens to the Esaki family after that, it has nothing to do with him and Esaki Suguha.
That’s why Haruno Sawayama chose to take action without hesitation.
"I asked you to help me make a choice, and I didn't let you demolish my house."
Faced with Sawayama Haruno's inquiry, Esaki Tetsuichiro said angrily: " You have to pay because this old house has a history of nearly a hundred years.”
"I can't help it. There are more people outside, and your stairs are at the end of the house. It takes half a day to walk." Haruno Sawayama shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I'm worried about coming down late. At one point, you are in danger, so it would be faster to just jump down from the building."
"Just think of it as giving a dowry to your biological granddaughter in advance," he added.
“Sawayama!”
While the two were talking, Naoto Esaki suddenly yelled.
As if he realized it later, he was trembling all over, and his eyes were full of disbelief and asked: "What are you doing here??"
The plan was far beyond his imagination.
He still knew about the test that his grandfather was going to give Haruno Sawayama, but he never expected that this test would be reserved for when he was in trouble.
I never expected that Haruno Sawayama would have such strange power that he could break the ceiling and jump off the second floor?
Is this still a human being?
Like Naoto Esaki, there are seven or eight other surviving bodyguards who have the same idea. They are looking at Haruno Sawayama in the center of the venue with lingering fear, holding his bamboo sword on the ground like a crutch.
Facing such an inhuman opponent, they felt at a loss from the bottom of their hearts.
"Sorry, brother-in-law."
Hearing Esaki Naoto's question, Sawayama Haruno showed an apologetic smile.
"I just want to take Suguha away. Although your method can also give her the possibility of freedom, it is too extreme and dangerous."
Sawayama Haruno said seriously: " We have offended so many people, and we cannot afford it if something unexpected happens in the future, so you should listen to your grandfather and go down and settle down.”
"You"
Naoto Esaki's face turned as red as pig liver. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Catch him."
Accepted the boss's command. After the order, the remaining bodyguards still seemed a little hesitant, but fortunately at this time, people outside also heard the movement inside, and they were constantly pouring into the tea room.
After realizing that their side was the one with more people, they didn’t know who took the lead and rushed towards Haruno Sawayama in the center of the field.
Just like that, everyone swarmed forward and stretched out their hands to push Haruno Sawayama down.
The latter just grinned, and a lot of kendo skills began to pour into his mind.
"Sure enough, the reward for improving proficiency can only be triggered when you actually use it."
Haruno Sawayama seemed to sigh, and said as if talking to himself, and then faced The bodyguard who rushed at the front assumed a superior posture without hesitation.
