Chapter 29: The Amazing Boy
"Why is this kid so crazy?" Makoto frowned.
He had lived in Tokyo for a long time, but he had never heard of anyone named Takema in that noble family. No matter how he looked at Shun, he appeared to be a pretty boy who was interested in Nagisa and Kaguya simply because of his good looks.
Girls aged 16 or 17 were the easiest to be fooled by such scoundrels.
Moreover, at the other party's age, since he had not been chosen by the 'Onmyoji' and couldn't even 'see spirits,' how could he possibly know their plans?
However, Shun's indifferent attitude was so confident that he wasn't sure.
He glanced at Uesugi anxiously, but the latter was already very angry, as if he insisted that Shun explain himself.
Shun released Nagisa's hand, took a few steps forward, and unceremoniously grabbed the magatama.
"In today's world, the mysterious revival and emergence of spiritual power allow people like you to step into the extraordinary realm and achieve what is called the realm of 'seeing spirits.'"
Shun continued: "The existence of spiritual energy is beneficial for humans and other living beings. The peculiarity just demonstrated by this magic weapon is actually caused by the spiritual power that moves it."
"A glimmer of light in your body is merely the most superficial use of spiritual power. It can be broken by an ordinary sword."
Uesugi's face turned slightly cold; this boy seemed to possess some skills.
"So, is this magic weapon magatama real?" Ichiro asked.
"The spiritual energy is real, but the magatama is fake."
Shun squeezed it tightly with his right hand, and what was called the magatama instantly turned to powder, leaving only the stone beads in his hand.
"Everything that just happened was caused by the spiritual energy emanating from these stone beads."
Shun opened his hand, and the cracked stone beads appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Have you ever seen these cracks? The spiritual power within is continuously depleting. Uncle Kashiwagi, after you buy it, especially the body protection, it will become worthless in less than half a month."
As soon as Shun said this, all the onlookers were shocked!
Kaguya, Nagisa, and Mitsue looked closer and found that it was indeed covered with many small cracks. However, everyone thought the magatama was a magic weapon and did not pay attention to the stone beads wrapped inside it.
In other words, this item was completely worthless.
Let alone 10 billion yen; it was estimated to be worth less than 10 million yen!
"Brat, how dare you...!"
Uesugi never expected that the high school student in front of him would actually expose his trick.
At this moment, he no longer cared about the onmyoji's demeanor and stared at Shun with a rising intent to kill in his chest.
This was a business worth tens of billions of yen. If successful, how long could he enjoy a luxurious life?
"You are very clever, but there are some things you should not reveal. You must be careful in obstructing how people make money!"
Uesugi looked at him coldly, and word by word came out from between his teeth. He looked as if he wanted to eat Shun alive!
"I also remind you that if you kneel to apologize and leave early, it will be fine. I said it, but it's too late now."
Shun's eyes were cold, looking at the person in front of him like a spring in a deep valley.
"What, do you want to take action? I also want to see what else you can do?"
He did not pay attention to those who flaunted and deceived people with spiritual power.
"Uesugi! Makoto!"
Ichiro looked gloomy and shouted angrily: "Don't forget, this is the Kashiwagi family!"
As soon as those words were spoken, more than a dozen black-suited guards emerged from all over the garden. Almost everyone had noticeable bulges at their waists, clearly carrying firearms.
How could a famous chaebol in Japan not have some private armed forces under his command?
"What a bunch of people!"
Uesugi's eyes turned red, and he no longer tried to hide it at all, looking around cynically:
"You will have to pay tens of billions of yen today, or you will have to pay for it!"
After saying that, he flipped his hand, and a simple bronze mirror appeared.
A sudden feeling of panic and dread emerged, especially for Makoto, who was near Uesugi; his face turned red, and he fell to his knees, gasping for breath.
Uesugi made hand seals from thin air and pointed to the cherry blossom tree in the garden under everyone's gaze.
In an instant, the ancient cherry blossom tree surrounded by five people died on the spot as if it had been scorched by the sun for several days!
Everyone fell silent as they saw the cherry blossoms turned to black ash, the ancient trees dried up, and the ground cracked and parched.
Ichiro turned pale and stepped back.
Nagisa quickly grabbed the corner of Shun's clothing. Kaguya also turned pale and leaned against Nagisa.
And the guards holding firearms seemed to freeze there, not even daring to move. The terrifying burning sensation felt like a ray on their backs, and they could die at any moment!
"Is this the B Class spell?"
Mitsue was so frightened that the strongest Buddha beads in her hand had scattered on the ground, with cold sweat on her face.
"Yes, with my magic weapon and this spell, even its power is only this much." Uesugi nodded proudly.
After seeing the fearful expressions of these people, he looked at Shun, his intent to kill unmasked.
"Brat, do you know that even if I kill you and take the money, once I go abroad, even the 'Twelve Divine Generals' won't be able to do anything. I will still be respected by thousands of people in North America!"
"An ordinary person, I can turn into a dead tree like this ancient tree with just one thought!"
He enjoyed the feeling of dominating everything at this moment. Holding the bronze mirror in his hand, he asked Shun in a cold voice:
"How is it? What do you think of my method now?!"
Under his gaze, Shun glanced at the dead and dying cherry blossom tree, then looked at the corner of his mouth as if he were sneering with a mocking tone.
"At this level, I'm afraid you should stay here."
Uesugi was furious, but before he could take action, Shun's eyes instantly turned into Mangekyo Sharingan.
Under everyone's gaze, they saw him stomp his foot hard and shout:
"Open for me!"
In an instant, the God of Spring seemed to issue a command.
The dead cherry blossom tree came back to life as if by a miracle.
The trees were full of blooming cherry blossoms, and the scene was so beautiful that there was nothing like it in the world!
Everyone looked at the sight before them in disbelief.
Starting from the misty branches among the bamboo, the flowers and trees in the garden bloomed perfectly.
It should have been a solemn autumn moment, but at this moment, everyone seemed to be in a sea of flowers in June in an instant!
Yet there were so many precious flowers blooming together, including plum blossoms in the winter months, beautiful summer nights, and several types of peonies competing for beauty.
The scene was so clear and beautiful, like an endless expanse of blooming sunflowers with billions of flowers, and the fragrance wafted, enveloping the entire world!
