Chapter 54 Establishing Prestige
A dark mass of bodyguards from the Snake Clan Eight Families.
As Ye Jingchen's right hand swung down!
All of them had hunched backs, half-kneeling on the ground, slumped on the road...
They were reduced to a defeated and exhausted force, with no will to fight again.
No one could raise their head, dared to raise their head, and meet Ye Jingchen's golden eyes in equal gaze.
The Word of Power: Sword Control was applied to the various metal objects on the bodies of the bodyguards from the Snake Clan.
When applied to outer garments, metal buttons and zippers, though seemingly small, can pull so hard that one can't straighten up. Those who are hunched over, especially the thinner ones, end up kneeling on the ground.
When applied to earrings and studs, the delicate earlobes instantly split open, bleeding profusely. They covered their ears, gritting their teeth and hissing in pain.
When applied to the body of certain individuals, the steel plates, nails, and metal stents attached to the bones after surgery, along with the disordered metal structure, can instantly take away half of their lives.
When applied to firearms and melee weapons, the wielder feels as if the weapon in their hand has instantly turned into a heavy weight, pressing their palm firmly against the asphalt road, causing cracks and fractures in the metacarpal and phalangeal bones.
Ye Jingchen, like an unyielding monarch, slowly walked to Yabuki Sakura, who was kneeling on the asphalt road.
Sakura Yabuki wore a silver necklace around her neck, which weighed her down so much that she couldn't lift her head.
The thin chain dug deep into Sakura Yabuki's fair and delicate neck skin, leaving red marks.
It compresses the blood vessels around the neck, blocking blood flow.
Ye Jingchen stood quietly in front of Yabuki Sakura, watching her complexion change from fair to rosy, from rosy to reddish-purple, and from reddish-purple to dark purple!
Her face turned purplish-black, her brain was deprived of oxygen, and Yabuki Sakura could no longer hold on. She gave up resisting, and her chin slammed heavily against her knees as she knelt down.
Ye Jingchen glanced again at the Snake Clan members lying haphazardly on the asphalt road, groaning in pain.
I think I've tidied up enough.
He raised his hand, snapped his fingers, and pardoned everyone within the Sword Control Domain.
External metals—weapons, decorations, tools, etc.—and internal metals—steel plates, screws, metal supports, etc.—have all returned to normal order, no longer tormenting them.
As oxygen-laden blood returned to her brain, Sakura Yabuki gradually regained consciousness.
She bit her lip, looked up at Ye Jingchen's face, and complained aggrievedly, "Commissioner Ye, we're all doing this for your and Miss's safety!"
"You haven't even stepped into the Yuan family's door yet, so what if you have?"
As a subordinate, all you need to do is obey. Who asks you to think about so many things?
"You can go and complain to Genjiro, I don't care." Ye Jingchen glanced indifferently at Yabuki Sakura. "Where's the car I asked you to arrange?"
Sakura Yabuki had never been treated like this before. She felt a lump in her throat, sobbed, and stood up.
She pointed to the long black VIP van that she had deliberately arranged to be in the middle of the convoy.
He forced a smile. "Commissioner Ye, Miss, Lady Yuan Zhinu, please follow me!"
Ye Jingchen turned around and opened his palm to Erii. Without any hesitation, Erii placed her small hand in Ye Jingchen's palm.
Ye Jingchen glanced at Yuan Zhinu, "Let's go! I'm sorry for your poor management skills."
"No...no, I wouldn't dare." Yuan Zhinu shook her head, put away her paper umbrella, and followed behind Ye Jingchen and Erii. Ye Jingchen's outburst of rage just now instilled in Yuan Zhinu a fear that went straight to her soul.
Ye Jingchen, holding Erii's hand, passed by a crow lying on the ground and glanced at it.
The crow turned its head away, preferring to rub its face against the rough asphalt road rather than face Ye Jingchen's scrutinizing gaze, which was as sharp as a steel knife.
Power builds order, and order gives rise to power.
Anyone who attempts to defy the will of those in power is disrupting the order and will naturally be punished by that power.
Ye Jingchen pulled Erii to sit down, and Genji also sat down.
Sakura Yabuki consciously sat in the driver's seat and looked at Ye Jingchen in the rearview mirror. "Commissioner Ye, may we depart now?"
"Set off."
After receiving a prompt from Ye Jingchen, Yabuki Sakura honked the car horn twice.
Beep beep.
Those members of the Snake Clan who were still able to move carried their limp kin on the asphalt road back into the black sedan.
No one dared to cast their resentful gaze toward the long, black, VIP van—the tyrant's royal carriage.
If they are not careful, their wrath and thunder will descend again, and they cannot bear it.
The drive of ten minutes or so passed in silence.
Only Erii was scribbling away in her little notebook, dangling it in front of Ye Jingchen.
Ye Jingchen responded to Erii by either nodding or shaking his head.
Genjiro looked down at the paper umbrella in his hand, his eyes revealing a melancholy. He longed to see Genjiro again after a long time, and Uesugi Kotsuki whom he had never met before. He longed for a family reunion.
However, Genji had also seen the unfriendly attitude of the members of the Snake-Headed Eight Clans towards him, and he began to worry about his future after returning to the Snake-Headed Eight Clans.
He is not alone. Even for the sake of Kazama Ruri, he will live on.
We arrived at the main gate of Genji Heavy Industries.
Sakura Yabuki stepped on the brake and pulled the handbrake in one smooth motion. She was always this efficient, but today she was unlucky and had angered Ye Jingchen.
Sakura Yabuki turned her head to look behind the driver's seat, a forced smile on her face, "Commissioner Ye, Miss, we've arrived!"
"Notify Uesugi Kouichi and Genji that I have found Genji and brought her back to Genji Heavy Industries. Also, inquire whether the matter at Tokyo Airport has been resolved." Ye Jingchen, holding Erii's hand, opened the car door and stepped out of the black van, with Genji following closely behind.
"Hi!" Sakura Yabuki bowed slightly to Ye Jingchen. "I will deliver the message immediately. Please wait in the lounge for a moment, Commissioner Ye."
"Hmm." Ye Jingchen nodded lightly, took Erii's hand, and led Genji's daughter towards the main gate of Genji Heavy Industries.
The two guards standing at the main entrance were the same ones who had been guarding Erii's ward earlier. When they saw Ye Jingchen and Erii again, they exchanged a glance but said nothing.
"You two have been transferred to work at the main gate now?" Ye Jingchen asked the two guards. He liked people who were quick-witted.
One of the guards bowed to Ye Jingchen. "Hi, Commissioner Ye. Due to the fierce attack of the Ghost Clan, the two original guards are still receiving treatment in the hospital. My brother and I have been temporarily transferred here. This is an arrangement made by the head of the Miyamoto family."
"Oh? Miyamoto Shigeo?" Ye Jingchen glanced at the guard who spoke, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "However, I seem to remember that the security of Genji Heavy Industries was entrusted to the head of the Inuyama He family back then?"
