“Niwa-kun, are you really not considering it? We need talents like you. No matter where you were born or what nationality you hold, the blood of our people flows within you; this is your Homeland.” A middle-aged man, wearing brown sunglasses and sporting a bit of stubble, knelt on the upper seat and spoke sincerely to Nobunaga Hideyoshi in the VIP area.
After taking a sip of the sake in front of him, Nobunaga Hideyoshi maintained a rather indifferent expression. “My parents were forced out due to persecution, so for the sake of our cooperation, let’s not discuss this any further.”
Upon hearing such a definitive statement, Shinoda Kenichi felt a hint of embarrassment flash across his face, but he quickly shifted the topic elsewhere. “We have received the first batch of weapons; they are indeed high-quality goods. The ability to bypass the Coast Guard’s inspections to bring these items in is certainly worth our long-term cooperation.”
After pausing for a moment, he continued, “However, you should be aware of the current situation. If we don’t deal with Takahashi Kiyoshi, it will be difficult for me to fully control Yamaguchi. I never expected him to show up at such a critical time. The only reason I’m here now is that I’ve been temporarily released on bail; the matter hasn’t been resolved yet, and I could be summoned again at any moment under this pretext.”
“Since we are preparing for long-term cooperation, we will naturally bring our sincerity to help you resolve internal issues as the first step. However, in our line of work, we tread on dangerous ground,” Nobunaga Hideyoshi seemed well-prepared and chuckled lightly, appearing extremely calm.
His smile, combined with his looks that could make women envious and a slight flush from drinking, caused several attendees with twisted orientations to swallow hard.
“I understand that. As long as you can help me gain complete control over Yamaguchi-gumi, dealing with my current troubles will be no problem at all. As for the price, how about increasing the cost of the Second batch of Arms by thirty percent?” Shinoda Kenichi was also quite decisive; if successful, then this money would be nothing; if he failed, everything would be meaningless.
Upon hearing this response, a strange glint flashed in Nobunaga Hideyoshi’s eyes.
First, let Yamaguchi-gumi fight internally to reap some benefits, then weaken them before confronting the heavily armed Inagawa-kai. The more intense the conflict, the better.
The assets accumulated over years of dominating as the top gang are quite terrifying. No matter how much one extracts from them, it would never be excessive.
The only pity is that even if large-scale turmoil occurs and they suffer significant losses, Yamaguchi-gumi’s foundation remains intact. Moreover, the Japanese government will not allow foreign forces to control this uncertain factor; otherwise, they would directly swallow it whole. The gray income extracted from Japan would yield more profit than selling Arms to them.
However, one must act according to their capabilities and handle major incidents wisely; being overly greedy could lead to losses instead of gains. Thus far, positioning has not been too extreme; while it may not be overly difficult, it remains within controllable limits.
Furthermore, with Mo Wenfu involved in combat aspects and paired with top-tier fighters, recent displays of their strength have gone smoothly. Otherwise, this future sixth-generation leader wouldn’t have been able to raise prices so readily.
“Tokyo, huh? It sounds even bigger than the capital!” After disembarking from the plane, Huang Wei and several other lively characters began looking around curiously.
Lucas felt a headache coming on as Ou Chao continued to keep a close watch on him during the flight.
Qian Kai, sitting nearby, couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. It was just one loss; why didn't Ou Chao even bother to ask him for advice? Although he would have refused if asked, it still stung his pride.
After disembarking, Qian Kai overheard Huang Wei and the others talking and couldn't hide his displeasure. "What good is Guangda? As the capital of the world's number one economic entity, Beijing has many advantages that this place can't compare to."
"Alright, everyone, let's keep these discussions here. Once we step outside, don't cause any trouble. The sentiments between our two countries are already a bit tense, and this is their territory. It's best to avoid unnecessary conflicts; we're here to compete," reminded the young teacher leading the Huaxia Affiliated School team.
It seemed like he was the main person responsible for the group, though it wasn't due to his high status; rather, it was because he spoke Japanese well and handled most of the mundane tasks.
On one side, Yuying's Zhu Qibiao occasionally chatted with him, while on the other side, the middle-aged woman leading the Royal Academy of Basic Studies paid him no mind at all.
Instead, she took a moment to reprimand Ou Chao for his reckless behavior.
"I understand my mission is to protect you. I won't stir up trouble where it's not needed; please trust my professional integrity," Qian Kai said seriously.
Seeing him make such a promise eased the worries of the young teacher, who often traveled here for work and knew how tense the atmosphere could be.
He usually wasn't afraid but worried about being given an excuse to provoke trouble, especially with instigators around.
However, since they were with Red Dragon Security, he believed they would uphold a certain level of professionalism.
Although public sentiment was somewhat divided, the Japan Side had sent personnel who adhered to proper etiquette as hosts, ensuring there were no grounds for complaints.
The only thing that irked everyone was that there were two welcome banners at the airport exit—one for them and another welcoming the American team. The difference in prestige between the two was quite apparent.
"Pfft! What’s so great about America? They’re not that much better than us; they’re still being overshadowed by Britain," Huang Wei complained to Yang Xiaoyou on the bus transporting everyone.
"You're being silly. They might just want to provoke us a little. It's just a banner, why care so much?" Yang Xiaoyou casually remarked, rolling her eyes at the fellow who had come to sit beside her.
After being schooled by Yang Xiaoyou, Huang Wei felt a bit frustrated and didn't know how to retort. He then redirected his anger towards Wang Cheng on the other side.
While he was venting his frustration, the other members of the FFF Group began to pack their things in large bags.
"Oh my, those Revenant people are so annoying. Can't we relax a bit now? Seriously, it's driving me crazy!" In a luxury hotel in Tokyo, a girl with silver hair like a porcelain doll was rolling around on the bed, hugging a pillow.
Beside her, the One-Eyed Woman, Weimar, said indulgently, "After they came at us strongly a few times last time, things have calmed down recently. We're currently gathering intelligence on their internal matters; they probably intend to give up on their mission against us."
"Hmph! Their giving up is their business. Just don’t let me catch them off guard! Ugh, it makes me so mad!" Fia puffed out her cheeks and bit down on the pillow, letting out a roar like a tiger, which looked quite amusing.
"By the way, according to our intel, it seems that the Hive Security Company has also come over. How should we handle them?" Weimar seemed to recall something and asked. Although the other party was extremely secretive, they would eventually slip up; discovering them now was already worthy of high praise.
"Let them come. Without conflict, there’s no battle; without battle, there’s no demand for arms. I believe they think the same way. However, I won’t give up my share in the end." Stopping her assault on the pillow, Fia's previously flustered expression vanished as she smiled wickedly.
