Chapter 127



After hearing Natsume Soseki's congratulations, Kiyohara Jun, who was originally a little nervous, unexpectedly calmed down.

"Hmm." Qingyuan Jun said "hmm" softly. He lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the lines on the palm of his hand that was not holding the phone, and didn't say anything more.

The reason why Kiyohara Jun felt guilty just now was because he almost destroyed Yokohama.

Although he knew his ability to control supernatural powers, he had not used them for half a year even though he had been training. And summoning a meteorite was the first time for Jun Kiyohara. If he encountered any accidents due to his unfamiliarity with supernatural powers, the whole Yokohama would be destroyed.

The reason why he summoned the meteorite before was because Jun Kiyohara had an inexplicable feeling after breaking through the Transcendent, and that feeling prompted him to summon the meteorite because he originally wanted to intimidate the Special Powers Department and do something for Chuuya, who had been stuck in a bottleneck period due to his inner demons.

In fact, it stands to reason that Jun Kiyohara would most likely fail in summoning a meteorite directly from outer space. After all, although the dust covers a large area, it is a bit too much to cover it all the way to outer space.

For Jun Kiyohara, what he was 100% sure of was that he could summon rocks and soil from the earth to condense into meteorites, rather than summon meteorites from a place as far away as outer space.

Therefore, at this moment, when Kiyohara Jun first received the call from Natsume Soseki, he felt a little guilty. After all, he almost destroyed Yokohama because of that inexplicable feeling and momentary anger.

But when I heard Natsume Soseki's voice, that guilty feeling disappeared completely, and all that was left was a strange calmness.

That feeling of calmness was very similar to the feeling of calmness that Kiyohara Jun had when he just became a transcendent. Kiyohara Jun just knew inexplicably that Natsume Soseki did not come to blame him, just like when he just became a transcendent, he inexplicably knew that this time he would be able to successfully summon a meteorite from outer space and successfully control it.

"A 17-year-old transcendent is indeed a young talent." Natsume Soseki didn't care about Kiyohara Jun's indifference. At this moment, he looked a little strangely excited. He praised Kiyohara Jun, "I never thought that you could become a transcendent."

After hearing what Natsume Soseki said, Kiyohara Jun's face was still expressionless. He did not say a word, but just listened quietly to Natsume Soseki's excited words on the other end of the phone. Even though Natsume Soseki's behavior was completely different from the last time they met, Kiyohara Jun did not show the slightest bit of surprise.

Jun Kiyohara stared quietly at the lines on his palms, as if there was something in the lines on his palms that was attracting him.

Natsume Soseki knew that he was a little too excited at this moment, but he had waited for this day for too long.

They finally had their own transcendent, and that transcendent was from Yokohama, whom he loved deeply!

Natsume Soseki lived for most of his life, and most of his life he worked hard for this country and the city of Yokohama. What he hoped most was that Yokohama could have true peace, and that they could have their own Transcendents, so that they would no longer be inferior to others in the world of supernatural powers where the number of Transcendents was the basis of judgment.

Now, under the manipulation of Kiyohara Jun, there is hope for Yokohama to move towards peace, and the matter of having their own transcendent has been solved by Kiyohara Jun himself becoming a transcendent. How can Natsume Soseki not be excited when his lifelong wish is about to be realized by one person?

At this moment, when facing Kiyohara Jun, Natsume Soseki did not praise Kiyohara Jun from top to bottom. This was an act of restraint on his part as his long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled by Kiyohara Jun.

Listening to Natsume Soseki's praise, Kiyohara Jun's heart was not moved at all, even though he knew that Natsume Soseki's praise was from the heart, but he knew even more clearly that Natsume Soseki's call was definitely not just to compliment him.

Sure enough, after praising Kiyohara Jun for a while, Natsume Soseki finally revealed the real purpose of his call.

"Tokyo wants to contact you." After calming down his excitement, Natsume Soseki quickly returned to his normal state, which was the state that Kiyohara Jun was familiar with. He asked Kiyohara Jun in a very calm voice, "They know that I have some connection with you, so they asked me to bring you a message. I wonder what you think."

Natsume Soseki's voice was calm and it was impossible to tell whether he favored either side. It seemed that he was simply asked to ask such a question and he himself had no bias and was just relaying it.

After hearing what Natsume Soseki said, Kiyohara Jun finally took his eyes off the lines on his palm. He stared at the snow-white walls of the infirmary and chose not to say anything. Instead, he listened quietly to Natsume Soseki continue speaking.

Kiyohara Jun did not say whether he agreed to contact Tokyo, nor did he say anything else about Tokyo. He just sat there quietly, as if he was just a puppet. Only his blinking eyes showed that he was not a puppet.

Hearing that Kiyohara Jun did not answer his question, Natsume Soseki did not show any surprise. He said calmly: "The reason why I asked you is not to persuade you to agree to contact Tokyo. I just accepted the request. Now that I have asked, I have accomplished the task entrusted to me."

"However, I still have something to tell you."

"Yeah." Kiyohara Jun, who had been silent the whole time, spoke to Natsume Soseki after Natsume Soseki told him the real intention of asking Kiyohara Jun whether he wanted to contact Tokyo. There was no emotion in his golden eyes, and only Kiyohara Jun himself knew what was in his mind at this moment.

"Although I know that you are always smart, you don't know much about politicians. Please allow me to talk to you a little more." Natsume Soseki's tone became gentler. His voice was no longer as bland as before. When he spoke to Kiyohara Jun, it felt like he was nagging to a younger person.

"You can't refuse Tokyo's invitation." Natsume Soseki said, "Even though Yokohama has its own independent government, it still has to obey Tokyo's orders. If you refuse Tokyo's invitation, it will be difficult for the port mafia to develop further."

"Hmm." Kiyohara Jun said "hmm" lightly. He knew that Natsume Soseki did not finish what he wanted to say, because he knew that with Natsume Soseki's character, he would never use this method to implicitly persuade him to accept the invitation from Tokyo.

Although Jun Kiyohara did not understand the style of politicians, he was clear about what to do in negotiations.

Therefore, Kiyohara Jun just said "hmm" and closed his mouth, listening quietly to Natsume Soseki continue speaking.

"But I don't recommend you to accept Tokyo's invitation directly." Natsume Soseki said slowly. Although his tone was still gentle, it was a little cold. "If you accept their invitation directly, those politicians will only think you are weak and will only push you further."

"Given their greed, it's not impossible for you to quit the port mafia and join an organization directly under the state." When he said this, Natsume Soseki's voice had a hint of sarcasm, as if he was mocking the greed and arrogance of those politicians.

"The only suitable organization directly under the state is the Public Security Bureau, right?" At this point, Kiyohara Jun suddenly spoke up. Although his voice was still emotionless at this moment, it made people feel an ambiguous feeling. "I thought they would know that I used undercover agents to threaten the Public Security Bureau before."

"Because they are arrogant." Natsume Soseki's tone was filled with a hint of smile again. He smiled, "They think that power can make people abandon all prejudices and such. This is their stupidity."

"But these are just side topics. The key point is that you can't accept their invitation at the beginning, but you can't reject them directly and decisively." Natsume Soseki said, "You have to make them think that you are just waiting for the price, although the actual situation is almost the same."

Natsume Soseki smiled and said, "You have to wait and see in order to get what you want. Once you get what you want, you can agree to their request."

After hearing what Natsume Soseki said, Kiyohara Jun did not show any expression of sudden enlightenment. He just stared quietly at the snow-white walls of the infirmary. It seemed that he already knew what Natsume Soseki said.

In fact, Kiyohara Jun did know the principles that Natsume Soseki said a long time ago, and Natsume Soseki might have known that Kiyohara Jun should know it, but just in case, Natsume Soseki still said it out.

The conversation has come to an end. After Natsume Soseki said what he wanted to say, he did not say anything else.

Before the call was about to be hung up, Kiyohara Jun suddenly spoke.

"How is Mr. Mori doing recently?" Kiyohara Jun suddenly asked.

"Gugai." Natsume Soseki's voice was full of smiles. "He has adopted many orphans in the orphanage. He seems to be very happy and no longer pays attention to the news in Yokohama. The last time I saw him, he was complaining about a very destructive psychic who appeared in his orphanage. That psychic even injured his dear Alice."

"Yeah." Qingyuan Jun said "hmm" lightly.
