Chapter 170: 101. Even if the prejudice of the human heart is a mountain, it will eventually loosen (10,000 words achieved)
Amidst the rumbling noise.
Another Divine Power arrived like thunder, coming right before Fujiwara Reya.
"Bang!"
A loud explosion.
The seemingly unstoppable powerful Divine Power of Chief Priest Fujishima was unexpectedly shattered on its own!
What shocked everyone in the hall even more was that the person who intervened to block this strike was the Tsuchimikado Family Head.
The remaining two Divine Powers crackled in the air. freēwēbnovel.com
Time seemed to stand still in everyone’s sight, the air appeared to be shattered, even the heavy rain outside seemed to have broken. The two Divine Powers tangled for a moment, and Chief Priest Fujishima’s was completely crushed, leaving only that of the Tsuchimikado Family Head, still radiating its powerful pressure.
Fujiwara Reya roughly estimated.
Yes.
Probably at the peak king level.
One word: powerful!
With a wave of his hand, the Tsuchimikado Family Head.
The remaining Divine Power in the hall was instantly blasted out of the hall’s doors with a loud boom, evaporating countless raindrops, and a scorching wind gushed through the doors and windows, rustling the robes of those seated, even blowing off half of the hanging lanterns.
The few young ones seated near the entrance were directly overturned by the airflow, crying out as they rolled on the ground, before finally stabilizing their pale faces.
Such terrifying Divine Power.
Everyone in the hall appeared stunned, letting the howling wind blow on their faces.
As the Divine Power gradually dissipated, the people near the hall entrance quickly closed the doors, and the Tsuchimikado Family Head on the platform finally withdrew his hand.
Fujiwara Reya looked at him curiously.
On the surface, the Tsuchimikado Family Head seemed just like an ordinary middle-aged man, just slightly burly, and somewhat fierce-looking, without any appearance befitting a priest. If encountered on the street, no one would think this person was actually at the peak king level.
Stop, stop!
Do not judge by appearances.
The goodwill shown today, I’ll remember it.
When the opportunity arises, I will slowly repay this Family Head. I’ll also ask my mom to inquire of Aunt Tsuchimikado if there are any spendthrift relatives in their family who don’t value money, so I can get acquainted with them.
It’s not about money.
Mainly, it’s because Fujiwara Reya enjoys exchanging experiences with outstanding peers.
A full-on strike was easily blocked, and Chief Priest Fujishima, sitting among the directors, looked livid, with turmoil in his heart.
He knew today would have some twists, but he hadn’t expected such twists.
He was aware that Chairman Kasahara’s youngest daughter was close to Fujiwara Reya, which is why he specifically consulted Chairman Kasahara and, upon receiving her approval, began preparations for today. However, before the first voting session concluded, Fujiwara Reya unexpectedly appeared in the hall.
Following this, Chairman Kasahara’s youngest daughter naturally stood by his side. Then... Chairman Hoshimi’s daughter seemed to have stood by him as well, and now, Director of Tsuchimikado even personally sided with Fujiwara Reya, risking offending the Inari Shrine.
Out of the four directors, suddenly three were supporting Fujiwara Reya.
Leaving only the last one... Chief Priest Fujishima’s hands slightly trembled within his sleeves, and his lips quivered as he looked up to the old monk on the platform: "Director Koubun, do you think this is appropriate?"
"Amitabha~"
Monk Koubun put his hands together, reciting a Buddhist phrase.
Then, his eyelids drooped lethargically as he leaned against the chairback, his neck lowering slightly, then rising slightly, lowering, then rising...
In the dead silence, everyone seemed to hear his faint snoring.
"..."
Chief Priest Fujishima felt the monk was pretending.
He had evidence, but he dared not speak it out.
If he offended Asakusa Temple, the Inari Shrine would definitely choose Asakusa Temple over him.
"I refuse to accept this!"
Chief Priest Fujishima shouted loudly.
His old face turned alternating shades of pale and flushed, now as white as snow, eyes filled with boundless anger and a hint of grievance.
Aside from his resentful shout, there was no other sound in the hall.
Who dared to stand out now to rally for him, as everyone’s gaze on Fujiwara Reya had shifted from ridicule and disdain to puzzlement and shock, with the younger ones even showing respect and awe in their eyes.
Kasahara Asuka gently tugged on Fujiwara Reya’s sleeve, her eyes sparkling: "Senior, you’re a liar!"
"How am I lying?" Fujiwara Reya countered.
"Senior always says you’re just an ordinary person."
"I am indeed an ordinary person."
"No ordinary person would dare to fight in the Council Hall!" Kasahara Asuka tugged on his sleeve, standing on tiptoe to level with his gaze, her lively eyes full of mirth, "Also, Senior pretends to be serious, always telling Asuka not to mess around, but you like to mess around the most!"
"This is not messing around!"
"It is messing around!"
"It’s not messing around!"
"It is messing around!" Kasahara Asuka’s eyes sparkled increasingly, her voice growing more joyful.
The five or six thousand people in the hall all looked incredulously at the two young ones arguing over this childish issue, while in Hoshimi Rinko’s eyes, it was as if the two were openly showcasing their affection.
Feeling the cold gaze from a certain area of the audience, Fujiwara Reya felt a chill down his spine and quickly yielded by saying, "Okay, it is messing around." Then he turned around, offering a half-bow to the four Chairmen on the platform: "I couldn’t hold back earlier, please forgive my rashness, Chairmen."
