Chapter 570: The city is in a state of sleepless nights due to the flames of war, and the secrets of
After the war in Osaka, the former prosperity can still be vaguely seen among the ruins.
The Black Killing Group arranged for Lin Ye'er and others to settle down, while Yunari sat on the bed in the room, staring at the scene outside the window, with ripples of confusion in her heart.
The ruins of the city whisper silently in the dim light of the early morning, as if telling countless little-known stories.
Uncle Kyosuke pushed the door open and walked in, holding a few quilts in his arms, which seemed to be used for sleeping on the floor.
He glanced out the window, a trace of panic flashed across his eyes, and he quickly lowered his head, as if he was avoiding something.
Yunari came back to her senses, tilted her head and jokingly said, "Uncle, you're not afraid of heights, are you?"
Uncle Kyosuke smiled and replied calmly, "How could that be possible? Don't overthink it, little girl."
Yunari chuckled softly, looking at the lights in the distance, and said thoughtfully: "This Black Killing Group is different from the gangs I've seen in novels."
Uncle Kyosuke stopped making the bed and looked at her meaningfully. His eyes seemed to contain many stories that he wanted to tell but couldn't.
"You think too much."
"No,"
Yunari turned her head, her eyes serious and with a hint of curiosity,
"I always felt that my mother was particularly interested in these things. She always paid attention to those underworld stories or told me some strange legends."
"Uncle, do you know my mother's real last name?"
Uncle Kyosuke paused, seeming a little uncomfortable.
"Your mother?" His voice was low and slow, as if he was carefully choosing his words, trying to hide something.
Yunari frowned slightly, feeling a little doubtful.
"Yeah, I've never heard her talk about it..."
Uncle Kyosuke was silent for a moment, and the night outside the window seemed to deepen his contemplation.
He took a deep breath, turned around and walked to the table, put down the quilt in his hand, and said slowly: "Some things have always been lurking...When the time is right, they will surface."
His voice was like a gentle breeze, causing Yunari to hold her breath.
The mystery revealed in the unfinished words seemed to indicate a secret that was about to be revealed.
Uncle Kyosuke's gaze was firm, as if he was crossing time to explore the truth of the past.
At this moment, the city outside the window became increasingly quiet, with only a few scattered lights still twinkling.
Yunari's curiosity seemed to ignite a flame. "Your mother's real name is Kazamatsuri Akiko."
Uncle Kyosuke spoke in a heavy tone, as if he had spit out a thousand-pound rock.
"Kaze, Kazesai Akiko?!" Yunari's pupils trembled and her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
This name sounds like it has a great origin!
Is my mother some hidden boss?
You wouldn’t even dare to write a novel like this!
Countless melodramatic stories of grudges between wealthy families flashed through her mind: abandoned wives, vengeful daughters, overbearing CEOs...
"Shocked, right? I'm shocked too!"
Uncle Kyosuke had an "I understand you" expression on his face, as if to say: I went through the same thing back then, kid.
"Your mother is the eldest daughter of the Fengji family, a perfect white, rich and beautiful woman, but..."
He paused, then lowered his voice in a mysterious tone, "Elope with me!"
"Elope?!" Yunari felt that her worldview had been impacted like never before. The amount of information was too much, and she needed to slow down.
My mother actually eloped?
This is too exciting!
It was simply more exciting than any novel she had ever read!
"Back in the day, your dad was the most handsome guy in Shinjuku, charming thousands of girls and known as the 'Emperor of the Night'!"
Uncle Kyosuke instantly entered the "reminiscent of the past" mode, with a narcissistic expression on his face as he reminisced about the glorious past.
"Your mother was the eldest daughter of the Fengji family back then. She would come to my place every few days and shower me with all kinds of gifts..."
Yunari imagined the scene: a noble and cold lady from a wealthy family,
Crazy infatuation with a dashing gigolo... The scene was so beautiful that she dared not look at it.
"So, mom is your biggest fan?"
Uncle Kyosuke coughed lightly and corrected himself, "It's not a fan, it's true love! But at that time, I was able to remain calm, like Liu Xiahui!"
He had an expression that said "I am very upright", as if to say: I am not the kind of superficial man who is obsessed with money.
"Later, your mother lost her position in the family, was confined to her house, and her power was also stripped away..."
Uncle Kyosuke's tone darkened, "She came to me for a drink, looking completely dejected, but I, your father, remained professional and didn't take advantage of her!"
Yunari was complaining in her heart: Uncle, it’s already this late, and you’re still standing here pretending to be so respectful?
"I watched her drink one cup after another, and I felt so sad! At that moment, I suddenly realized that my relationship with her was more than just that of a customer and a waiter..."
Uncle Kyosuke's eyes became affectionate, "I resigned from the store, and then found her and told her..."
He paused, took a deep breath, as if recalling the scene at that time.
Then he said word by word: "Mingzi, the Fengji family is nothing! I won't serve you anymore! Come with me, I will accompany you to the ends of the earth!"
Yunari: As expected of the King of the Night, this domineering declaration, this affectionate confession!
"And then?" Yunari asked impatiently. She was completely attracted by the story.
Uncle Kyosuke raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Then..."
"Then, your mother was so moved that she agreed on the spot!"
Uncle Kyosuke looked very proud, as if saying: Back then, I was so charming!
"We packed our bags overnight and ran away! The Fengji family sent people to hunt us down, but who am I, your father?"
"Emperor of the Night! I took your mother and fled all the way, avoiding pursuit. It was so thrilling!"
Uncle Kyosuke seemed to have returned to that passionate era, with excitement flashing in his eyes.
"We fled to the countryside, hid our identities, and lived an idyllic life."
"Your mother grows vegetables and I cook. We work from sunrise to sunset every day. It's so comfortable! At that time, I felt like the happiest man in the world!"
His face was filled with a happy smile, as if he could still feel the sweetness of that moment.
"Your mother is pregnant, and we are all so happy! We look forward to your birth every day, and imagine the wonderful life of our family of three in the future..." Uncle Kyosuke's voice became gentle,
He paused, his smile gradually faded, and his tone became heavy.
"But, things don't always go as planned. On the day your mother was due to give birth, someone from the Fengji family came to our house..."
Uncle Kyosuke clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into the flesh.
"They took away your mother and you, who had just been born... I fought desperately, but I was outnumbered and was eventually knocked unconscious by them..."
His voice trembled, as if he was trying hard to suppress the pain in his heart.
"When I woke up, your mother was already...gone..."
Uncle Kyosuke's voice choked, tears welled up in his eyes.
"They said your mother died during childbirth... and you were taken away by them..."
"I don't believe it! I don't believe your mother would die! She was so strong and optimistic, how could she die like this!"
Uncle Kyosuke became very excited. He stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the room. "I must find you and find out the truth!"
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Later, I found out that your mother wasn't dead. Instead, she was taken back to Feng Ji's house and... they conducted experiments on her..."
"Experiment?" Yunari's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
"Yes, experiment..."
Uncle Kyosuke gritted his teeth and said,
"They conducted inhumane experiments on your mother to research some kind of power! They left countless scars on her body, leaving her in excruciating pain..."
"They also took you away and used you as an experimental subject! They injected you with all kinds of drugs, making you endure pain that ordinary people could hardly imagine..."
"And I was framed by them as a murderer and became a wanted criminal at the level of a ferocious ghost..."
Uncle Kyosuke's voice was filled with helplessness and grief.
"I've been fleeing everywhere, avoiding capture, just to find you one day and rescue your mother..."
"I once tried to return to the Fengji family and rescue you, but..."
Uncle Kyosuke's tone became low, "I failed..."
"I was severely injured by the Fengji family's divine oracle and nearly died..."
He sat down slowly, his eyes filled with despair, "I thought I would never see you again in this life..."
Yunari sat silently by the side, listening to Uncle Kyosuke's story, her heart filled with sadness and anger.
She couldn't imagine that her mother and herself had ever experienced such cruel things.
The room fell silent, with only the heavy breathing of Uncle Kyosuke echoing in the air.
Suddenly, Uncle Kyosuke raised his head and stared at the sky in the distance.
"It's begun..." he muttered to himself.
