Chapter 277 Death of Tachibana Masamune

Naturally, Minamoto Zhisheng didn’t know that he was being underestimated by Eri Yi.

After sheathing his sword, he immediately turned his attention to the five masters.

Although he has already made a deal, if several family heads are dissatisfied, he must respond.

After all, even if Amaterasu's status is respected, it is impossible for him to really do whatever he wants.

Now that Masamune Tachibana has failed in his duties, even if he, the young master, is partial, it cannot be too obvious.

And in front of Minamoto Chisheng, looking at Tachibana Masamune's ten severed fingers, the five family heads got to know Amaterasu a little bit again.

These family heads, who have either matured with age or been selected through power struggles, will naturally not fail to understand what Yuan Zhisheng means.

Minamoto Zhisheng obviously wanted to use the ten-finger punishment in exchange for Tachibana Masamune's life. The relationship between the two has always been like that of father and son, so it is not surprising that he would do this.

"If this is a punishment that the young master has seriously considered, I have no problem with it."

After a short silence, Sakurai Nanami, the head of the Sakurai family, said this.

She didn't object to Yuan's naive favoritism.

If the objection succeeds and Tachibana Masamune is forced to commit seppuku again, then the debt that forced him to death will naturally be recorded on her. If the opposition fails, Tachibana Masamune and Minamoto Chisheng will be hated by both, which is even worse.

In the past and future, when the two generations of leaders all stood on the same position, taking action against Tachibana Masamune was tantamount to offending Minamoto Chisei himself, and it was wrong no matter what he did.

Although Yuan Zhisheng is not the kind of person who abandons public affairs for personal reasons, when it comes to the death of a "father"-level figure, it is difficult to say anything. She will not bet the fate of the family on the other party's restraint.

Not to mention, Tachibana Masamune's story was very organized, and even when she heard it, she didn't notice any problems.

"only……"

Sakurai Nanami changed her voice and looked a little hesitant.

It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Ryoma Genichiro on the side took the initiative to help and added.

"What you said has not been verified in detail yet, so it cannot be considered credible evidence for the time being."

Ryoma Genichiro, who has always been honest and dull, like a middle-aged office worker, said what Sakurai Nanami wanted to say in a very dull tone.

"Yes!"

Sakurai Nanami nodded.

It's true that she wants to believe Tachibana Masamune's words, but she's not like Minamoto Chisheng, who doesn't even do the slightest questioning as long as she chooses to believe it.

Whether it is raising Deadpool for Eriyi, or saying that the leader of the fierce ghosts is Herzog, these are all his one-sided words.

Ryoma Genichiro's views may be rigid, but this seemingly inefficient approach is the "adult" way to deal with it.

In this regard, Yuan Zhisheng is still a little too gullible.

Hearing what they said, even Fuuma Kotaro, who supported Tachibana Masamune the most, nodded after hesitating for a moment.

"…Indeed."

Just as they had previously acquiesced in Tachibana Masamune's confession of seppuku, they were not totally defenseless against Tachibana Masamune.

If Tachibana Masamune really went to die, everything would be easy to say.

They could even compromise and try their best to protect Tachibana Masamune's reputation, directly frame the attack by the Deadpool group on the Fierce Ghosts, and give Tachibana Masamune a grand mourning honor.

But if Tachibana Masamune hadn't died, there would have been a lot of trouble.

Let’s not talk about the sins of the past and the authenticity of our experiences.

To put it simply, can they really rest assured that Masamune Tachibana, who has such a complicated identity, can continue to control the Sheqi family?

Other problems are easy to solve, but the trust problem is not so easy to solve.

After the three family heads expressed their stance, Yuan Zhisheng hesitated slightly.

Although Inuyama Ga and Miyamoto Shio haven't said anything yet, there is no doubt that they have no objections, that is to say, they also agree with this view.

Before he could say anything, Tachibana Masamune had already spoken.

"Ziaosheng, the heads of the family are right to be concerned."

He showed his bandaged hands to Yuan Zhisheng.

"Since Zhisheng wants me to atone for my sins, then I can survive, but how can a sinner who has lost all his fingers continue to be the head of the family?"

In the Sheqi family, only those who make a big mistake will have their fingers cut off. Having all the fingers cut off means that he has made a huge mistake.

The current Tachibana Masamune cannot continue to serve as the head of the eight Sheqi families, both in terms of image and family rules.

"So, childishly, I'll have to rely on you from now on!"

After saying that, he spoke directly.

"Kaguya, I announce my resignation as head of the family again and hand over all authority!"

He used a very crisp and clear gesture to clear his suspicions.

"Yes, we have received the proposal from the current patriarch Masamune Nagatachibana. This proposal requires all the family heads to vote. It is detected that the remaining seven family heads are all present. Please enter the voting results."

Kaguya immediately responded to Tachibana Masamune's words.

The resignation of the head of the family should have been held in an extremely solemn ceremony.

But now, Tachibana Masamune is the type who has to step down when a scandal breaks out, so naturally he doesn't have time to engage in these rituals, so he keeps everything simple.

Kaguya's judgment is even more concise and only requires the votes of the family heads.

After receiving Kaguya's text message, none of the five family heads took action immediately.

Shoot the first bird.

In the end, it was Eri Yi who took the lead in choosing the one to agree after slowly figuring out what happened.

Tachibana Masamune is not the patriarch of the family, doesn't that mean he can't control himself?

Inuyama Ga followed closely, and the next six votes were passed unanimously, and Minamoto Kasaki could only agree.

After Kaguya's authority was lifted, the authority of Tachibana Masamune's patriarch was immediately completely revoked.

By noon, the news that Masamune Nagatachibana had taken the blame and resigned had spread throughout the entire Sheqi family.

He failed to resign collectively from the college headquarters, but his own leader failed instead.

Most people don't understand what's going on.

Most people believe that Tachibana Masamune resigned because he failed to detect the crisis in the Deadpool group in time.

In order to maintain the image of the organization, the family heads all agreed to conceal the fact that Masamune Tachibana was raising the Deadpool, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion from the lower levels.

Therefore, in the hearts of everyone, there is still regret for the resignation of this good old man Tachibana Masamune.

However, this regret did not last long.

Compared with the resignation of the old man Tachibana Masamune, the election of the new patriarch is more topical.

According to regulations, the people who can lead the eight Sheqi families can only be from the inner three families. Even if the outer five families are in power, they can only be regarded as first-rate stewards.

Now that Tachibana Masamune has abdicated, there are only two members of the three families left.

Amaterasu Minamoto, who has always been famous and has successfully led the Executive Bureau to the strongest position in Japan, and Eri, who turned the tide today and killed the group of servants single-handedly, is still stronger than Minamoto.

Will the new patriarch support Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi?

Thanks to her appearance in front of everyone today, Eri has gone from being almost unknown to becoming the second-seeded player competing for the position of head of the family. She has attracted countless fans because of her pretty face and her attitude of turning the tide.

Of course, in terms of overall reputation advantage, it is still far inferior to Yuan Zhisheng.

·

What happened to the eight Sheqi families is a major concern for the entire mixed-race world.

This day was the day when the eight Sheqi families announced in advance that they would collectively resign and betray Kassel Academy. It was also the day when the eight Sheqi families and the Gattuso family joined forces to prepare for the encirclement and suppression of Angers.

Families in the mixed-race society are either looking forward to it or gloating about it, waiting for the secret party to fight on its own and cause civil strife.

No one expected that at this critical moment, the Sheqi Eight Family would actually fall apart.

What exactly happened is unknown to the outside world.

The only thing they knew was that on this morning, before the Shiki Eight were about to betray, an event occurred that could reverse their attitude. As a result, the internal power structure also changed. The former leader Masamune Nagatachibana suddenly stepped down.

As he stepped down at this juncture, everyone with a discerning eye realized that the Gattuso family's encirclement and suppression campaign might fail.

No matter how rigorous the plan is, it must be driven by people. When the leader changes, the change in organizational style is also a matter of course.

Even if Minamoto Chisei, who is most likely to inherit the position of patriarch, is from the same faction as Tachibana Masamune, it still cannot dispel everyone's doubts.

Even real fathers and sons, teachers and students may not be immune to ideological differences, let alone hybrids with lust for power flowing through their veins.

Therefore, after resolving the differences within the family, Yuan Zhisheng and others were busy preparing an external statement.

Although after Tachibana Masamune abdicated, the person who most legitimately ascended to the position of head of the family was Minamoto Shisaki, but before the election, he could still only be the head of the Minamoto family and the director of the executive bureau, and could not make promises in the name of the leader of the eight Sheqi families. anything.

After abdicating the throne, although Masamune Tachibana could not hold actual positions, he was still able to influence Minamoto's decisions with his feelings over the years.

Under his influence and help, most of the problems were solved quickly and properly.

Only two issues remain to be resolved.

How to face the college headquarters? How should we face the Gattuso family?

These two questions can actually be merged into one question.

That is, should we continue Tachibana Masamune's previous route and continue to fight against the academy headquarters?

The plan previously promoted by Tachibana Masamune based on his personal prestige ushered in an opportunity to rewrite it after his personal downfall.

Faced with this problem, Yuan Zhisheng's attitude was very hesitant.

The outbreak of Deadpool did not have much impact on the Sheqi family. Logically speaking, they can continue to resign collectively to Cassel Academy and act in accordance with Tachibana Masamune's previous plan.

But Yuan Zhisheng, who understood that Su Mo was behind this incident, was worried about Su Mo's methods.

Don't look at the fact that this Deadpool outbreak didn't cause any casualties.

But in fact, if Sumo didn't choose to release Deadpool when they gathered, and if Sumo didn't send Eri back in time, as long as he did a little bit on these two things, Genji Heavy Industries would be bleeding like a river.

Su Mo's plan was both a slap and a warning.

If this time, I ignore his good intentions and insist on continuing to implement the plan.

Then next time, if something similar happens again and he no longer stays behind, can the Sheqi family really be able to withstand it?

Tachibana Masamune's resignation has made Yuan Zhisheng deeply aware of how difficult Su Mo is.

Now that things have happened, he is finally convinced that Su Mo really does not need to use Eri Yi and can stop the decision of the Sheqi family by himself. He also finally understands where Anger's confidence comes from.

If Su Mo was more ruthless, he could directly hit the eight Sheqi families with his own power.

Under such concerns, Yuan Zhisheng hesitated, but ultimately failed to make a decision.

In the end, Nanami Sakurai's suggestion was followed, and the request of the Gattuso family envoy to fulfill the agreement was temporarily rejected on the grounds that the eight Sheqi families had not yet elected a leader.

There is no leader, and the Gattuso family cannot do it!

There is really nothing the Gattuso family can do about this powerful reason.

The matter of collective resignation from the college headquarters was naturally put on hold.

At this critical moment, every day of delay will increase Angers' advantage and the Gattuso family's disadvantage.

If it is left on hold, it will be equivalent to betraying the covenant and supporting Angers.

If this continues, it is better to support Angers directly, so that Angers will not be regarded as an enemy.

Therefore, Yuan Zhisheng's time is also very tight.

He had to make a decision in the shortest possible time, otherwise it would be equivalent to surrendering directly to the academy headquarters.

While Minamoto Chisheng and the five masters stayed up late to discuss how to deal with the academy headquarters and the Gattuso family, Tachibana Masamune temporarily left the conference room and came to the passage on the ξ floor where Eri's room was.

In the previous discussion, he had already expressed what he should express.

Although he is no longer the head of the family, he is still the head of the Ju family and can occupy a very crucial seat in the head of the family meeting.

But as a sinner, being too insistent on your own opinions will make people look suspicious.

Therefore, he withdrew in time and said that he was going to visit Eri.

Naturally, Eriyi didn't have the patience to participate in a meeting of this level. Anyway, she would only play games if she stayed there, which would affect the discussion, so Yuan Zhisheng asked her to go back.

At this time, Masamune Tachibana proposed to visit Eri, which did not cause any surprise to other family heads.

Except for Eri herself, the other family heads understood what Tachibana Masamune meant before, Eri was his daughter.

Although there was no evidence to prove it, they felt that there was no need for Tachibana Masamune to lie.

A father wants to see his daughter. Is there anything surprising about it?

So Tachibana Masamune came to the passage.

So, he was rejected.

"Sorry, you don't have enough authority to pass through this door."

Kaguya's voice sounded in the aisle next to her.

Tachibana Masamune was stunned for a moment.

Does he have insufficient authority? What a joke! Who else in the Sheqi family has higher authority than him?

Wait...that's not right!

Soon, he remembered that he was no longer the head of the family. He had been demoted from the highest authority to the authority of the head of the Orange family.

Even though it looks like there is no door lock in Eriki's room, it's just that there are no obstacles from the inside out.

From the outside in, not everyone can enter her room.

Previously, Minamoto Chisei was able to enter because he was Eriki's guardian, and Tachibana Masamune was able to enter because he held the highest authority.

In addition, even the authority of the five family heads is not enough to pass the door in front of them.

Nowadays, Tachibana Masamune's authority has been reduced to the head of the Tachibana family. Although he is also the head of the three inner families, he can only be on the same level as the head of the Uesugi family of Eriki.

This level of authority is not enough to open this door.

However, there are other ways to enter the door that cannot be opened.

"Kaguya-sama, just tell Eriki that I'm coming to visit."

Tachibana Masamune said in a very confident and calm tone.

He understands Erika's character very well, just like he understands Minamoto's character.

He knew that Eri Yi must not have slept at this time and was still playing games. He also knew that he still had some authority in front of Eri Yi. As long as he wanted to see her, she would never refuse no matter how reluctant she was.

This is the control of people's hearts, which cannot be stopped by mechanical authority.

As Tachibana Masamune waited with confidence, time passed by. After he stood there for half a minute, Kaguya's report came belatedly.

"Reporting to the head of the Tachibana family, the head of the Uesugi family refused your visit and said that she was busy playing games."

Tachibana Masamune guessed the first half, but not the second half.

The Eri clothes of today are no longer the Eri clothes of the past.

Under Su Mo's teachings, she has learned to refuse, and under Zero's teachings, she has also learned basic common sense. She is no longer the naive child who doesn't know how to defend herself against outsiders.

Of course, the reason why Eriki rejected Tachibana Masamune at this moment was indeed very simple. It was really because she was playing games and had no time to talk to others.

As for Tachibana Masamune's authority, when Minamoto's authority was almost destroyed by Su Mo's secret jabs, he had no longer been the head of the family, and he had no weight in Eriki's heart.

Why would she give up her time playing games with Zero’s mother to listen to strange people talking?

"..."

Hearing Kaguya's return, Tachibana Masamune's heart sank and his face looked a little ugly.

The reason why he came to look for Eri Yi was because he also realized that the outbreak of Deadpool must be related to Su Mo.

The person who was closest to Su Mo was Eli Yi. He wanted to get information about Su Mo from Eli Yi, understand what they did this morning, and then think about ways to deal with Su Mo.

Unexpectedly, now he can't even see Eri Yi's people.

It was obvious that Eriki had begun to escape his control.

And the person who caused this result must be Su Mo!

After realizing this, Tachibana Masamune glanced at the door of the passage and chose to give up.

There was no need to confirm Su Mo's other information. Just from Eriki's attitude, he could tell that this guy was a greater threat than he thought.

Before, he was still worried about the college headquarters and Ange, so he didn't dare to kill Su Mo. He didn't expect that this guy would become a serious problem for him so quickly.

He didn't know how Su Mo knew about the Deadpool hatchery, nor why Su Mo was able to investigate so much secret information.

The only thing he knew was that if Su Mo was not eliminated, the situation he had managed for twenty years might completely collapse.

Therefore, even at the risk of Ange's wrath, it was necessary for him to get rid of Su Mo.

As long as Su Mo can be killed, the eight Sheqi families and the academy headquarters will have no room for change. Yuan Zhisheng can only choose to continue his own route and fight against the academy headquarters to the end.

By doing this, the situation will seem to become more dangerous, but in fact, his control over the eight Sheqi families will be much stronger than it is now.

There will be a chance that Eri Yi's biased character can be corrected, and there is no need to worry about Su Mo appearing at any time to do another big job.

After careful consideration, getting rid of Su Mo definitely had more advantages than disadvantages.

The murderous intention was determined. After the meeting, Tachibana Masamune drove into the darkness in a high-end black car.

The next day, he died.
