Chapter 528 Ye Haoxuan: This is my woman, and also the core fighting force of our gang!
“Well, let me introduce you,” Ye Haoxuan stepped aside to make room and pointed to Tachibana Masahito, “Tachibana Masahito, from now on, is one of our own.”
He then introduced her to Tachibana Masahito, saying, "Shui Ling, my woman, is also a core member of Hung Hing."
Tachibana Masahito nodded slightly to Mizuki, his tone solemn: "Tachibana Masahito greets Miss Mizuki."
He could sense the sharp aura emanating from Shui Ling, knowing that she was a formidable expert.
Shui Ling nodded slightly in response.
She trusted Ye Haoxuan's judgment; since Ye Haoxuan said that Tachibana Masahito was one of her own, there was no need to doubt it.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the hall. Liang Kun, the Crown Prince, and Feng Yuxiu returned, seemingly having something to report to Ye Haoxuan.
As soon as they entered the hall, the three noticed Tachibana Masahito and were all taken aback.
The prince's eyes were the sharpest; he instantly sensed the fighting aura emanating from Tachibana Masahito, which was comparable to his own. His brows furrowed slightly, and he whispered to Liang Kun and Feng Yuxiu beside him:
"This person is not simple."
Feng Yuxiu nodded solemnly. As a top-notch fighter, he was most sensitive to the aura of a strong person.
The aura emanating from Tachibana Masahito was more composed than any opponent he had ever faced, clearly indicating that he was a ruthless character who had experienced countless life-and-death battles.
Liang Kun rubbed his hands together, moved closer to Ye Haoxuan, and asked in a low voice, "Xuanzi, who is this?"
Ye Haoxuan smiled, raised his voice, and introduced the three of them:
"This is Tachibana Masahito, a top master of Kyokushin Karate and Itto-ryu swordsmanship. He has just fled from Japan and was being hunted by the Yamaguchi-gumi. I rescued him, and he has decided to follow me. From today onwards, Mr. Tachibana is one of Hung Hing's own people."
"What?! Tachibana Masahito?" Upon hearing this, the prince's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
He had heard of this name before and knew that this was a top expert of the Yamaguchi-gumi, whose skills were unfathomable. He never expected that Ye Haoxuan would subdue him.
Feng Yuxiu was also surprised. He had heard of this name before and knew how terrifying this warrior's strength was.
Although Liang Kun had never heard of Tachibana Masahito, seeing the reactions of the Crown Prince and Feng Yuxiu, he knew that this person was a legendary figure. He immediately grinned and stepped forward, saying:
"Welcome, welcome! Since you're one of Hins's men, you're one of our Hung Hing brothers! With Brother Tachibana here, we'll be even more confident in dealing with Tung Sing!"
Tachibana Masahito nodded slightly to the three of them, still not saying much.
He was not a talkative person to begin with, and before he fully integrated into Hung Hing, he preferred to observe in silence.
Ye Haoxuan nodded in satisfaction as he observed everyone's reactions.
"I don't need to elaborate on Tachibana's strength; you'll all witness it in time. Ash, you'll be in charge of training the underlings. You can ask Mr. Tachibana for guidance later; his experience will be of great benefit to the brothers."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuxiu's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he immediately bowed and replied:
"Yes, Brother Xuan! With Mr. Tachibana's guidance, the brothers' skills will definitely improve significantly!"
He had long wanted to exchange skills with top experts, and Tachibana Masahito's arrival fulfilled his wish.
Ye Haoxuan then looked at the Crown Prince: "Crown Prince, you and Mr. Tachibana are both top-notch fighters. You can exchange ideas more often in the future and get to know each other's fighting styles. This will help you cooperate better when dealing with Dongxing later."
The prince clasped his hands in greeting and replied, "No problem, Brother Xuan! It is my honor to spar with Mr. Tachibana."
The initial wariness in his eyes when he looked at Tachibana Masahito had been replaced by a mutual respect between strong individuals.
Tachibana Masahito nodded slightly to the prince, without refusing.
He could also sense the powerful aura emanating from the Crown Prince, and he also had a desire to spar with him.
Afterwards, Ye Haoxuan told everyone to go and get busy, leaving only Shui Ling and Tachibana Masahito behind.
Only three people remained in the hall. Ye Haoxuan looked at Tachibana Masahito and said seriously, "Tachibana, your old injuries still need to be rested. The hall is crowded and noisy, which is not suitable for recuperating. I have an unused detached house nearby. The environment is quiet and suitable for you to recuperate. I will take you there now."
Tachibana Masahito was taken aback for a moment, then quickly declined, "Mr. Ye, there's no need to go to such trouble. I can just find a place to rest anywhere. There's no need to prepare accommodations for me."
“This is no trouble for you.” Ye Haoxuan interrupted him, his tone firm. “You are now one of my Hung Hing men, and I must be responsible for your safety and injuries. Moreover, the Yamaguchi-gumi may have pursuers after you. That small building is well-secured and much safer than other places. I will arrange for two skilled brothers to stand guard at the door. They can protect your safety without disturbing your rest. They will also be responsible for preparing your daily medicine and food.”
Shui Ling chimed in, "Yes, just focus on recovering. I've already had the medicine prepared in advance, so you can use it as soon as you arrive. Call us anytime if you need anything."
Looking into their sincere eyes, Tachibana Masahito felt a warmth in his heart and, without further hesitation, bowed deeply in gratitude.
"Then thank you very much, Mr. Ye, and thank you very much, Miss Shui Ling."
Ye Haoxuan nodded in satisfaction, stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there now."
The three left the Hung Hing triad. Ye Haoxuan drove, and a dozen minutes later, the car stopped in front of a detached house. It was a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle.
Ye Haoxuan led the two into the small building, which was fully furnished and clean.
"No one lives here normally, so you can stay here without worry." He pointed to the room on the second floor and said, "The bedroom upstairs has great natural light, which is suitable for recuperating."
Then, he took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and gave instructions to the person on the other end of the line:
"Ali, bring two brothers to Building 3 of Xianghe Community. They will stand guard here for a few days to protect the safety of the people inside. No one is allowed to approach or disturb them. Also, bring the wound medicine I prepared. You are also responsible for purchasing their daily necessities."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Haoxuan looked at Tachibana Masahito: "The brothers on duty will be here soon, and the medicine will be delivered as well. You should rest well and familiarize yourself with the environment. If anything happens, just call me."
Tachibana Masahito thanked him again: "I will remember Mr. Ye's kindness."
Ye Haoxuan smiled and said, "No need to be polite. You should focus on recovering. We can talk about the rest later once you've healed. Shui Ling, let's go back now and let Tachibana get some rest."
Shui Ling nodded, gave a slight nod to Tachibana Masahito, and then followed Ye Haoxuan out of the small building.
Watching the two figures leave, Tachibana Masahito walked to the window, gazing at the tranquil surroundings outside, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.
He could clearly feel Ye Haoxuan's sincerity. This kindness and meticulous care made him even more determined to follow him.
Not long after, the guard arrived with medicine and some daily necessities. Tachibana Masahito treated his old wounds briefly and then lay down on the bed in the bedroom to rest. He was exhausted from the days of running around and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Ye Haoxuan and Shui Ling returned to the Hung Hing headquarters. Shui Ling couldn't help but ask:
"You seem to value this Tachibana Masahito quite a bit."
“He deserves it.” Ye Haoxuan said with certainty, “Top-notch strength, a calm temperament, and a grateful and loyal character. With him on board, dealing with Dongxing will be much easier. Letting him focus on recovering is so that we can fight side by side better in the future.”
Shui Ling nodded and said no more.
She understood Ye Haoxuan's intentions and also recognized Tachibana Masahito's value.
