Chapter 73 Saving People
When Chen Yu arrived in Shigeyama City, Misumi Mikoto and Kube Rokuro had already been rescued from the water, and the truck driver named Satoru Onuma had been captured and controlled.
It must be said that under the drive of sufficient interests, the efficiency that Transcendents can exert is indeed much higher than that of the police.
Seeing Misumi Mikoto and Kube Rokuro shivering next to the ambulance, wrapped in blankets, Chen Yu's originally worried mind was put at ease. He approached the two and asked with concern, "Are you two alright?"
"No... no big deal, just been in the water too long, a bit cold." Rokuro was still quite lucid, just a bit blue from the prolonged immersion in water, but he seemed to suffer no serious harm.
Misumi Mikoto, despite being equally chilled, still had the strength to express her gratitude to Chen Yu, "Doctor Chen! Thank you for coming to rescue us! If it weren't for you, we might not have been able to escape, really, thank you very much."
"Save the thanks for later, you two better get to a hospital for a checkup first," Chen Yu said, seeing that they were indeed very cold. Worried that they might develop further health issues, he called over the medical staff to have them lifted into the ambulance and taken to hospital for examination.
However, Misumi Mikoto continued to express her gratitude to Chen Yu and was also curious about how he found them, "Doctor Chen, how did you find us? That Satoru Onuma..."
"Don't worry, Satoru Onuma has been captured by someone, he can't escape. As for how I found you, it's just a little help from a friend. I happen to have a friend here in Shigeyama City," Chen Yu said to Misumi Mikoto, clearly not intending to tell her that it was a local Transcendent who had rescued them.
Although Misumi Mikoto found Chen Yu's words a bit strange, her numbed mind didn't dwell on it too much before she was loaded into the ambulance. However, just before the ambulance doors closed, she caught sight of a woman holding a Sword Bag, calling him "Master."
But after hesitating for a moment, Chen Yu said to Kojo Kyoko, "Hand him over to the police. But before that, beat him half to death, just make sure he stays alive."
While resisting the temptation to turn the man into an Undead Servant, Chen Yu did not intend to let him off easily. Causing him such trouble in rescuing people, nearly killing Misumi Mikoto and Kube Rokuro, Chen Yu was not that magnanimous.
"Rest assured, Master, my brother will handle it properly," said Kojo Kyoko with confidence.
"And don't make it too hard for the police. At least let him be able to stand trial and face legal consequences," Chen Yu added, before turning to Kyoko with curiosity, "Your school sounds historically significant, how is it doing now? Do you have many disciples?"
"We're just managing to get by. Apart from those few famous Kenjutsu Schools, all the Kenjutsu Schools in all Japan are just about the same," with a touch of melancholy and helplessness, Kojo Kyoko continued, "As you know, Master, with the rise of firearms at the end of the Edo Period, swords and Samurai fell into decline. Even the dojos of big schools like Hokushin Itto-ryu struggled to survive.
For a small school like ours, it's a blessing to have preserved our lineage.
About disciples, what real disciples are there in today's dojos? They're just local students learning the so-called competitive 'Kendo.' Aside from my brother and me, the only other Transcendent in our family is our father," she elaborated.
Chen Yu frowned slightly as he listened to Kojo Kyoko; it seemed that she was indeed not living an easy life. But this didn't relate much to him. After shaking his head, he asked, "Thanks for your help with the matter. We agreed on a gift earlier; what would you like? Inheritance or something else?"
"Inheritance? Would you really use an inheritance as a gift, Master?" Kojo Kyoko was visibly startled, evidently not expecting Chen Yu to offer an inheritance as a gift.
