After listening to Akutsu's words, Ryuzaki Shin quietly looked at the old fox opposite him with a gentle smile on his face. He had already made a decision in his heart.
He slowly raised the teacup in his hand and made a "please" gesture to Akutsu.
Then, he laughed.
"Brother, it's a pleasure to work with you."
A hint of admiration flashed in Akutsu's eyes.
He also raised his teacup and gently touched it with Ryuzaki Shin's cup in the air.
"bite--"
A crisp sound echoed in the silent living room.
In Akutsu's heart, his evaluation of Ryuzaki Shin was raised to a higher level again.
This kid is courageous.
To be honest, if Ryuzaki Shin had chosen the 2 billion one-time deal, Akutsu would have cooperated, but in his heart, he would definitely regard him as a short-sighted, insignificant character who was not up to the standard.
But now, he chose the highest-risk but also most profitable cooperation model without hesitation.
This shows that this young man is not only courageous, but also ambitious.
Only this kind of person is worthy of being Akutsu's partner.
"Ryuzaki-kun, if that's the case, then regarding the delivery..."
"Tomorrow," Ryuzaki Shin interrupted him directly, "The sooner we can deliver the goods to you, the sooner we can make money."
"That's right." Akutsu nodded. The matter of making money really cannot be delayed.
He seemed to have thought of something, and that gentle smile appeared on his face again. He said in an extremely casual tone:
"By the way, Ryuzaki-kun, since we are already partners, why not... I'll give you another message."
Long Qizhen raised his eyebrows, said nothing, just looked at him quietly, waiting for the next step.
"You should be preparing to take action against Black Crow Town now, right?"
"Brother is really well-informed."
Ryuzaki Makoto still had a calm expression on his face, but he was speechless in his heart.
This old fox knows too much.
"Haha, what I do is a business that costs my life. If I don't get more information, how can I live long?"
Akutsu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous, and then slowly brought the topic back on track.
"Just a reminder for you."
"The leader of the Red Scorpions, Watanabe Takehiko, is no ordinary character."
"There's someone behind him."
Long Qizhen's brows were instantly twisted into a knot.
"Is there another organization behind him?"
"That's right."
An extremely playful smile appeared on Akutsu's face.
He stretched out four fingers and said slowly:
"To put it bluntly, the entire underground world of Toyaru City is just four pieces of cake."
"The north, east, and west of the city have already been divided up by several established underworld organizations. No one can get involved."
"Only our southern part of the city, because it used to be poor and run-down, was looked down upon by those bigwigs, so it became a playground for you bikers and delinquents to play house."
When Ryuzaki Shin heard this, his eyebrows raised.
Damn it, this old fox, is he trying to point at me?
Akutsu saw Ryuzaki Shin's eyes suddenly turned a little cold, laughed, and patted his shoulder heavily.
"Don't overthink it, Ryuzaki-kun. You're not like them."
"Let's get back to the point."
"Now, this unowned land in the south of the city has naturally become the fat piece of meat in the eyes of the leaders of the three regions."
"Everyone wants to get involved here and expand their territory."
"And this Red Scorpion is a chess piece planted here by that organization in the east of the city, a... pawn."
After hearing this, Ryuzaki Shin fell silent.
He now finally understood why a small-time biker gang like the Red Scorpions dared to get involved in such a deadly business as smuggling.
It turns out that there is someone backing him up.
So, the goods I stole...
Isn't it the same as robbing the goods from the East City Organization?
"Don't be nervous, Ryuzaki-kun."
Akutsu seemed to see through his thoughts and explained with a smile:
"From what I understand, Watanabe Takehiko is quite ambitious. Ever since he came to Chengnan, he has had his own little plans."
"This smuggling business was done privately by him, using his connections at the port. It has nothing to do with the organization behind him."
"You know what, this Watanabe is really a talent. Being able to get such a large batch of goods quietly is really not easy. It seems that he himself must have some unknown social background."
"Anyway, that's about all I know."
Ryuzaki Shin nodded and had a plan in mind.
In this case, Watanabe must not be kept.
Tomorrow, I will go and meet him.
It's time to finally wrap up Black Crow Town.
At this moment, Akutsu's playful voice sounded again.
"However, Ryuzaki-kun, the goods you stole are, after all, consumables."
"Things like videotapes, once the novelty wears off, the market will quickly become saturated. It'll only last a few months at best. For you, it's ultimately a one-time deal."
"Ryuzaki-kun, are you interested in...doing some long-term business?"
Ryuzaki's heart moved.
He knew that what Akutsu said was right.
In order to make money continuously and steadily, you must have a stable supply of goods.
Since this old fox dared to say so, it proved that he had connections.
"Brother Akutsu, if you have any advice, please tell me."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Akutsu laughed out loud again and looked at Ryuzaki Shin.
"I just happened to have an overseas customer who was also interested in this business."
"However, he currently does not have a truly stable channel for receiving goods in our country."
"Ryuzaki-kun, are you interested in being the receiver?"
Ryuzaki Shin looked at him and smiled.
"Brother, why don't you do it?"
Akutsu waved his hand, with an extremely sincere smile on his face.
"A person's energy is limited."
"I just need to do my own thing well, and as for the rest, I can't bite off more than I can chew."
"Moreover, if this business wants to expand, it is necessary to build good relationships with government officials."
"What I hate most is dealing with those guys who are dressed like dogs."
Long Qizhen knew that this old fox was testing him with words.
It's also like painting a rosy picture for yourself.
He wanted to tie himself completely to this boat.
But it doesn't matter.
Ryuzaki Shin smiled and agreed very readily.
"OK."
Seeing this, Akutsu's smile became even brighter.
He slowly stood up from the sofa and made a "please" gesture to Ryuzaki Shin.
"In that case, I won't disturb Ryuzaki-kun's rest."
"I'll message you again in a few days when the guest arrives."
"Then we'll meet together."
Ryuzaki Shin also stood up with the same "sincere" smile on his face.
"Okay, then I'll...wait for good news from you, brother."
He escorted Akutsu all the way to the door of the villa.
Watching the black Jaguar XJ6 slowly disappear into the night.
Ryuzaki Shin slowly turned around.
The smile on his face disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Instead, there was coldness.
The corner of his mouth curled up in an extremely cruel arc.
"Old fox..."
He slowly uttered three words.
"Want to use me?"
"hehe..."
Ryuzaki Shin watched Akutsu leave and did not go upstairs.
He leaned against the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room alone, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, and slowly lit one.
In the smoke, his young and evil face seemed to be a little bright and dark.
At this moment, his brain began to work rapidly.
The bait thrown by Akutsu, the old fox, is indeed very tempting.
The stable supply of goods from overseas is a top-level smuggling business that is profitable and can drive any underground force crazy.
However, if you want to eat this cake, you must have strong enough teeth.
The prerequisite is that you must have the ability to open up connections with the port, like Takehiko Watanabe.
As for me now, I have probably already been put on the government's list, not to mention my connections.
What to do?
Ryuzaki's fingertips tapped unconsciously on the cold window glass, making a light "da, da, da" sound.
Suddenly, he thought of the cold police pistol he "borrowed" from policeman Sato.
This gun is a trouble, but at the same time, it is also a key.
A key that is enough to pry open the tightly closed door of the port.
This guy Sato definitely won't use it.
It would be foolish to keep around a bomb that could explode at any moment.
But if Sato is pulled down, who will go up?
He must place a chess piece at the port that obeys his orders completely.
But the problem was that he knew nothing about the internal staff of the Port Police Station.
Damn, it's an intelligence problem again.
Ryuzaki Shin felt his temples throbbing and he scratched his head in annoyance.
If I had known earlier, I should have talked more to that old fox Akutsu.
Forget it, there's no rush. Let's talk about it tomorrow.
If that doesn't work, just ask Akutsu if he has any information in this regard. After all, it's related to the supply of goods, and he should be willing to help.
Just as he was lost in thought, a soft and fragrant body came up to him silently from behind.
A pair of soft arms gently wrapped around his thin but unusually strong waist.
"Really? It's so late, why don't you go upstairs to bed?"
Asuka Uehara's voice, so gentle that it seemed to drip water, slowly rang in his ears.
Long Qizhen didn't look back. He could smell an intoxicating and ambiguous scent coming from her, a mixture of the fragrance of shower gel and the fragrance of a woman's body.
"Asuka, I'll think about it for a while. Go to sleep first, sweetheart."
Asuka pressed her hot pretty face tightly against his back, her breath as sweet as orchid, and said playfully in his ear with a voice full of endless temptation:
"But... I feel like you... seem to want to go back to the room with me?"
boom!
Long Qizhen only felt that his brain completely exploded at this moment!
He turned around suddenly, and his deep eyes were completely replaced by a flame filled with primitive desire!
The woman in front of him had already changed into a simple dress.
Instead, she wore a thin, translucent silk suspender nightgown.
Especially the pair of amazingly long and straight legs wrapped in a thin layer of black stockings, which exuded a dazzling luster under the dim light.
Long Qizhen looked at the woman in front of him with charming eyes and orchid-like breath, and two blazing flames instantly ignited in his originally calm eyes!
Asuka Uehara looked at him with eyes as hungry as a wolf, but she didn't show any fear at all. Instead, a very rare and proactive teasing flashed in her beautiful watery eyes.
She stuck out her little tongue and gently licked her tender and tempting red lips.
"Now...are you going back to the house with me?"
Ryuzaki didn't say another word.
Asuka Uehara exclaimed.
Then, she put her hot pretty face close to his ear.
Long Qizhen held the woman in his arms and strode towards the bedroom on the second floor!
He didn't even bother to open the door with his hands!
Bang--!
A loud bang!
He kicked the heavy wooden door open fiercely!
…
I don't know how long it took, but the moon outside the window had quietly hidden in the clouds.
Asuka stretched out her slender finger and gently drew circles on his firm chest covered with sweat.
Then, she spoke slowly, her voice a little hoarse from the battle, yet unusually gentle.
"Really, I want to discuss something with you..."
Um?
Ryuzaki Shin was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Asuka's pretty face which was full of "I have something to ask of you", and then looked at the black stockings she had specially changed into.
His mind raced, and he understood instantly.
Good guy, I'm really good!
After all this time, this woman is so proactive tonight, wearing black stockings and acting like a spoiled child. Is it not because she's in love, but because she has something to ask of me?!
Are you using the beauty trap on me?
Long Qizhen looked at her expectant yet somewhat nervous expression, and for no reason he felt a mixture of laughter and tears in his heart.
This woman is really...
So silly that it's kind of cute.
She had no idea that with how much he doted on her now, she could just tell him what she wanted to say. As long as it didn't challenge him, there was nothing he couldn't agree to.
Is it necessary to do so many fancy things?
Long Qizhen sighed inwardly, this was probably the way traditional women think. They always think that their men are the head of the family, and if there is anything, they have to serve him first and make him feel comfortable before they dare to speak.
but...
Ryuzaki Shin felt the soft and fragrant mature body beneath him, and then looked at her amazingly beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings, which were slightly closed together due to nervousness.
This feeling seems... not bad at all.
He stretched out his hand, gently scratched the delicate face, and said in a doting tone:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"If you have any questions, just tell me directly next time."
"In your heart, am I that kind of cold and indifferent man who needs you to please him in this way?"
"No! No!"
When Asuka Uehara heard this, she became anxious instantly. She quickly stretched out her tender little hands and held Ryuzaki Makoto's face.
Those beautiful watery eyes were filled with sincerity and a hint of coquettishness.
"I just... I just noticed that you seem to be worried these days, always frowning, and I want you to... relax a little."
When Ryuzaki Shin heard this, he burst into laughter.
"You can talk."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Uehara Asuka finally breathed a sigh of relief. She gently leaned her head against Ryuzaki Shin's chest and timidly said in a tentative tone:
"Well... I have a niece named Uehara Nanako, who is a teacher at a private university in Tokyo."
"Some time ago, when I went to Tokyo, I stayed at her house. She took very good care of me."
"Isn't summer vacation coming soon? She...she wants to come to Toaru City to see me. Do you think...can you let her stay at our house?"
After hearing this, Long Qizhen thought it was a big deal, but is that all?
He casually asked, "How many days will she stay?"
However, it was this casual remark that made Asuka Uehara's heart rise to her throat in an instant.
She thought that Ryuzaki really didn't want his niece to stay for too long.
After all, after most men get married, they don't like the relatives of the woman's family to live in their own home.
She quickly raised her head, and her beautiful eyes, which had once held a hint of expectation, dimmed in an instant, and her voice was filled with a hint of humility and pleading that was difficult to conceal.
"I...I won't let her stay for too long! Just...just a few days!"
"If you don't like it, I...I'll just let her stay in a hotel by herself. I definitely won't cause you any trouble!"
Looking at her cautious look, the last bit of anger in Ryuzaki's heart completely disappeared.
He reached out and hugged the woman, who was still daydreaming, tighter in his arms.
Then, he placed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
His voice was not loud, but it was gentle.
"I want to ask if she can stay a little longer."
"Think about it, this house is so big, you're usually alone at home, and I'm not here during the day, you must be very bored."
"I'm so happy to have someone to accompany you and talk to you."
He paused, looking at Asuka's beautiful eyes that were once again misted with emotion, and said in an extremely serious tone, word by word:
"And, Asuka, remember this."
"From now on, you can decide on your own about such matters."
"This is my home, but also... your home."
"You are the hostess here."
Asuka Uehara felt her mind go blank. All her rationality and reserve were completely shattered at this moment by these words full of sincerity and responsibility!
Her eyes instantly turned red.
But this time, she didn't cry.
She just hugged tightly, tightly, the man in front of her who gave her all the sense of security.
Then, she suddenly turned over and pressed Ryuzaki Shin under her again!
In those beautiful watery eyes, there burned an unprecedented fire that was enough to completely melt any man!
Long Qi Zhen was shocked by her queen-like aura and subconsciously wanted to beg for mercy.
"Um...Asuka, it's been taking so long. Tonight...why don't we go to bed early?"
He had a meeting and a fight today, and to be honest, he was really tired.
If it happened again, he felt like he might actually have to call the police.
However, Asuka Uehara just smiled sweetly, and that smile was full of endless temptation.
She leaned over and gently pecked the lips that were slightly opened in surprise.
Then, in his ear, with a breath as sweet as orchid and a voice that could drive any man crazy, she slowly said:
"fine."
"I..."
…
The next day, True Dragon Credit.
Ryuzaki Shin sat in the large boss chair with a tired look on his face, feeling as if his waist was no longer his own.
System!
When will you reward me with a pair of golden kidneys?
If I continue like this, I feel the risk of dying young is too great!
Just as he was complaining madly in his heart, the office phone rang.
It's Akutsu.
"Hey, Ryuzaki-kun, where's the goods? Let's get ready for the trade."
Long Qi Zhen instantly became energetic. He had been prepared. No matter how tired he was today, he had to get the business done first.
He forced himself to get up early this morning, then checked the goods to make sure they were safe, and asked Serizawa to wait for him at school.
"Go to Suzuran Stadium. My people are waiting there."
"good."
Akutsu responded and was about to hang up the phone.
Ryuzaki Shin suddenly spoke.
"Brother, do me a favor."
"oh?"
"Help me get a copy of the internal personnel information of the Port Police Station. The more detailed the better."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.
Then, Akutsu's playful laughter was heard.
"Hahahaha! I knew you, Ryuzaki-kun, are someone who can do great things!"
"This thing is not easy to make, and it's very expensive."
"However, this time, consider it a meeting gift from me, brother, as a token of my sincerity in our cooperation."
"When can I get it?"
"I'll have someone deliver the True Dragon Credit to you by noon at the latest."
"Thank you very much."
The two exchanged a few quick words.
Akutsu seemed to have remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, Ryuzaki-kun, I have something else to congratulate you on."
"What's up?"
"According to the information I received, that old fox Watanabe Takehiko seems to have... abandoned his territory in Black Crow Town and gone dormant."
"Black Crow Town is now your world."
Watanabe ran away?!
When Long Qizhen heard the news, his brows instantly twisted into a knot.
This is not good news!
A poisonous snake hiding in the dark is far more dangerous than a tiger in the open!
This old fox is definitely planning some big move!
Akutsu was able to find out that it was him who stole his goods. Ryuzaki really didn't believe that Watanabe Takehiko wouldn't think of it. He would definitely find some clues after a long time.
Judging from the value of this batch of goods, Takehiko Watanabe must have invested a huge amount of money and would not give up.
Ryuzaki Shin's heart was filled with alarm. He knew that he had to pull the poisonous snake out of the hole as quickly as possible and then crush it to death!
At this moment, Akutsu's voice came again.
"Don't worry, Ryuzaki-kun. I'll have someone send you Watanabe Takehiko's address and property information in the south of the city at noon."
"Okay, enough talking, I have to get busy."
After hanging up the phone, the expression on Long Qi Zhen's face became extremely solemn.
He felt like a blind man, knowing nothing about the world of Toyaru City and could only passively accept information given by others. This feeling made him very unhappy.
If I had someone in the police station, it would be much easier to get information about many things.
It seems that I must get that woman Saeko on board as soon as possible!
Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly thought of another thing.
Black Crow Town.
What should I do with this piece of fat meat I just got?
There are mostly casinos in Black Crow Town, and Ryuzaki really doesn't want to follow this pattern. Dealing with some bad gamblers will cause too much trouble in a day.
So what Ryuzaki really wanted was to reorganize the model of Black Crow Town and turn it into a prosperous commercial street.
Actually, the show Renyi Ichibang that day was pretty good.
But Ryuzaki really didn't want to put too much energy into this matter.
I decided to let Xiaoyou do this. I believe that with his knowledge and intelligence, he can definitely do it better than myself.
The next thing Ryuzaki Shin considered was to integrate his men and prepare to conquer the territory.
To be honest, since the power was established not long ago, in order to consolidate the foundation at the beginning, the younger brothers behind him made the mental transition from students to underground forces.
Many times, we let the younger brothers go up and participate in the battle to experience this transformation.
Ryuzaki Shin now has more than two hundred elites under his command.
In fact, it is enough. We can continue to recruit new people and use the model of old people leading new people. We don't need to be so cautious in the future.
Now that you have gotten involved in smuggling, large amounts of funds will arrive in your account soon.
If you don't have land, you can't spend money even if you want to.
If the first wave of distribution is 400 million, Black Crow Town alone will not be able to digest it.
Therefore, we must acquire more territory before the first wave of profits is distributed.
So the goal is to completely take over the south of the city within a month and become the overlord of the south of the city!
Become the fourth force of Toyaru!
Thinking of this, Ryuzaki Shin called his subordinates and asked them to come to a meeting immediately...
Ryuzaki Shin pushed open the door and casually waved to a younger brother who was guarding outside.
"Go, call all the cadres over for a meeting."
"Yes! Boss!"
The younger brother's face flushed with excitement. He nodded heavily, turned around and ran to convey the order, as if he had received some supreme honor.
Long Qizhen smiled. Is his image in his younger brother's heart so great now?
Nonsense, a big brother who is strong, generous and respectful to his subordinates, that one is admired.
Less than half an hour.
The office door was pushed open again, and all the core cadres of the True Dragon Society who were currently able to attend gathered together.
Ryuzaki Shin put his feet casually on the table and smoked slowly.
He looked at the group of "crows" standing in front of him, with an extremely satisfied smile on his face, and his gaze first fell on Makise Takashi.
"Makise, how's the training going?"
Makise Takashi took a step forward, patted his sturdy chest, and said with great pride:
"Report to the boss! We now have three hundred elite soldiers capable of fighting!"
"These past few days, I've been taking them to practice on the playground at Linglan every day! One-on-one, head-to-head combat! They're definitely tough characters who dare to fight!"
"very good."
Ryuzaki nodded in satisfaction, but then he changed the subject and his tone became extremely serious.
"But just knowing how to use your fists is not enough."
"From today on, in addition to my daily hand-to-hand combat training, I'll also be doing weapon fighting!"
"Iron rods, machetes, etc."
"Protective clothing must also be bought, and safety must still be taken into consideration."
Ryuzaki sincerely thought that what he would have to face in the future would not be Suzuran's group of students who only knew how to use turtle punches, but real underground members who would eat people without leaving any bones!
"Yes! Boss!"
Makise nodded heavily.
Ryuzaki Shin turned his gaze to Sasaki Yu again.
"Xiaoyou, how much money is left in the company's account?"
When Sasaki Yu heard his elder brother calling his name, he instantly became energetic!
He quickly handed over the thick financial report in his hand, his face showing excitement but also a hint of worry that was difficult to conceal.
"Report to Brother Zhen!"
"The total monthly salary we collected from the Red Scorpion branches last time was 31 million!"
"However, we are currently only providing short-term loans. To ensure that the capital chain is not broken, we conduct extremely strict assessments and audits of the assets of each client."
"Although we can barely maintain our current cash flow, if the review process is relaxed or the number of customers increases, we will likely face the risk of a broken capital chain."
After listening to the report, there was no trace of panic on Ryuzaki Shin's face.
All this was already within his expectations.
He waved his hand, signaling Sasaki Yu to calm down, and then said in an extremely confident tone:
"Don't worry about the funding."
"Soon, there will be a new income."
"Now, you just need to set up the company for me."
Then, he looked at Sasaki Yu, and his tone became extremely serious.
"Xiaoyou, next, I'm going to give you something more important."
"This matter is crucial to the future transformation of our True Dragon Society!"
When Sasaki Yu heard this, he straightened his back instantly. He knew that this was his elder brother testing him!
"Brother Zhen! Please give me your orders!"
Ryuzaki really laughed.
"According to the information I received, the Red Scorpion has completely withdrawn from Black Crow Town."
"Now, immediately bring your men and sweep every place in Black Crow Town that still carries the Red Scorpion name!"
"Remember, if it's Red Scorpion's property, just seize it! No need to reason with them!"
"As for those individual businesses, we'll use courtesy first and then force. We'll ask them if they're willing to transfer. If they're not willing, we'll ask them to cooperate with our upcoming... business transformation."
Sasaki Yu nodded heavily, keeping every word of Ryuzaki Shin firmly in mind.
"Brother Zhen, is there anything else you need me to do?"
"Not yet, go do it first."
After asking this question, Ryuzaki Shin slowly stood up from the boss chair.
He walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, looked at the streets that had been completely controlled by the True Dragon Society, and spoke slowly.
"When I took you out of Lily of the Valley and into society, I told you, told all my brothers, that we are not some ragtag group of bikers, nor are we some idiots who only know how to fight and kill!"
"I'm going to take you to see the real scenery at the top!"
"Now, I think, the time has come."
"In terms of combat effectiveness, our True Dragon Society is not afraid of any biker gang in the south of the city!"
"The reason we've been entangled with that bunch of trash, the Red Scorpions, for so long is, first of all, that our foundation is not yet stable. We shouldn't rush for quick success and instant benefits. We must first complete the construction of the most basic foundations."
"Secondly, it's also to help the brothers complete a mental transformation! From students to true underground members!"
"Now, I feel, the time has come."
When Izaki Shun heard this, a sharp light instantly flashed in his eyes!
The curve of his mouth became more exaggerated.
"Haha, Boss, just tell me straight away, who should we go after next?"
Ryuzaki thought without hesitation.
"Do you remember how that ignorant fellow Bando found us?"
"I recently found out that it was that old fox Kunou Hideomi who was behind all this."
"Shit! Kunou Hideomi?!"
When Serizawa Tamao heard the name, he slapped his thigh hard, and his relatively calm face was instantly filled with anger!
"Boss! I've heard of this bastard! He's a complete scumbag! It was through his schemes and tricks that he became the leader of the armed front!"
Ryuzaki Shin looked at him cursing and laughed out loud.
"Since they dare to mess with us, they must be prepared to... accept punishment!"
"I am ready."
"The day after tomorrow, we will completely occupy the territory of the armed front—"
"Renyi Ichiban Street!"
Ryuzaki Shin slowly scanned the faces of the core cadres, including Izaki Shun, Serizawa, Makise, and Tokaji.
Then, he slowly dropped a bombshell that was enough to drive everyone crazy!
"Also, let me give you a tip-off."
"After this operation at Renyi Ichiban Street is over, I will conduct a comprehensive... position adjustment within the True Dragon Society based on your performance!"
"I will formally establish various departments, reappoint cadres, and assign each cadre an independent management territory under their own full responsibility!"
"By then, every one of you here will have the possibility of being transformed from a cadre into an ordinary member."
"Of course, it's also possible to fly higher and stand further!"
"I don't care what your previous status was in Linglan, or what grudges you had. From now on, write it off for me!"
"In my place, Ryuzaki Makoto, we only look at ability, not qualifications!"
"I've said it before, if you want to get involved in this, you need to use your skills and your brain!"
"A young man who is just a fool won't live long."
boom!
These words were like a depth bomb dropped on the calm lake, instantly making all the cadres present completely furious!
Their breathing, at this moment, became extremely heavy!
There is a blazing fire in their eyes!
Territory!
That's territory!
Means a steady flow of money and...
that power!
They knew very well how generous their boss, Ryuzaki Shin, was!
All the cadres present had earned at least several hundred thousand yen in just less than a month of following Ryuzaki Shin.
It's already much more comfortable than most office workers!
Many people have already bought mobile phones and dressed themselves up to look presentable.
But human desires are unlimited.
No one doesn't want more.
And now, the boss actually promised to divide up their own territory?!
How much money is there in that?!
They don't even dare to think about it!
Ryuzaki Shin looked at their excited expressions and nodded with satisfaction.
This is exactly the effect we want!
The combat effectiveness of Suzuran and his group is definitely the best in Toyaru City!
Now, what he had to do was to transform these unruly beasts into a group of disciplined people who would obey only his orders...
Hungry wolf!
The corner of his mouth curled up in an extremely cruel arc.
"Kunou Hideomi..."
"Renyi Ichiban Street..."
"Soon, it will all be mine..."
"The underground world of Toaru City..."
"Ready to... shudder?"
The cadres walked out of Long Qi Zhen's office with restless hearts.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement and enthusiasm that was difficult to conceal!
"Fuck! Boss, this is too fierce!"
"I just want to go to Jinyi Ichibangai right now and tear that idiot Kunou Hideomi's head off and kick it like a ball!"
Tokaji Yuji clenched his fists, and his knuckles made a crisp "crackling" sound. His face, which was always cold, was rarely lit up with fighting spirit.
Serizawa Tamao was even more direct. He kicked away an innocent trash can nearby, then yelled at the top of his lungs, using all his strength to let out an earth-shaking roar!
"Ooo ...
"Everyone, get your shit together! The boss said we're going to have a big fight the day after tomorrow!"
Makise Takashi also started howling, he felt like the blood in his body was burning.
He knew that this was the life he wanted!
This is the real world that belongs to men!
Izaki Shun looked at this group of simple-minded muscular idiots and shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were still shining with shrewdness and excitement.
He knew that the True Dragon Club, this giant dragon that had just awakened, would soon show its fangs that were powerful enough to tear everything apart!
"Stop howling like that!"
Izaki Shun said in a deep voice:
"The boss said the war will start the day after tomorrow. Now, everyone, get the hell back to school!"
"What the boss wants are elite soldiers who can fight, not a bunch of useless people who can only talk nonsense here!"
"Everyone, go get some help!!"
"In this battle the day after tomorrow, if anyone dares to slack off, don't blame me, Izaki Shun, for being ruthless!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted instantly!
yes!
Call someone!
In a fight, numbers prevail!
What's more, the boss said that this operation will be based on performance!
Whoever performs well will gain a firm foothold in the newly established True Dragon Society, a group full of opportunities and challenges, and even...
Reach the sky in one step!
When everyone thought of this, their eyes turned red!
They stopped talking nonsense and rushed towards Lily of the Valley, yelling as if they had been injected with chicken blood!
…
In this atmosphere full of excitement and restlessness, the Ebizuka trio seemed a little out of place.
They followed at the back of the crowd, silent.
Kirishima Hiromi's face was uncertain, and his eyes, which always held a hint of cynicism, were now filled with an extremely complicated struggle.
Honjo Toshiaki and Sugihara Makoto beside him also had serious expressions on their faces.
They knew that the boss was hesitating.
At this moment, a figure appeared silently in front of them, blocking their way.
It's Izaki Shun.
He looked at the three "future stars" in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hey, three juniors, want to chat?"
Izaki Shun's calculations were clattering.
If you want to seize the initiative in this "position adjustment", you must have enough and strong enough chips!
The three guys in front of him, and the nearly one hundred brothers behind them who only obey their orders, are his, Izaki Shun's, best bargaining chips!
"We, don't seem to have anything to talk about, Izaki...senpai."
Kirishima Hiromi's voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was a little distant.
Izaki Shun seemed not to have heard it, and the smile on his face became even more kind.
He stretched out his hand and placed it on Kirishima Hiromi's shoulder very naturally, and said slowly:
"Guanghai, I always thought you were a talented person."
"Follow me, how about it?"
"I promise that after this operation, all three of you will at least be able to make a name for yourself in the True Dragon Society."
"When the time comes, we can all make money together..."
However, he hadn't finished speaking yet.
Kirishima Hiromi suddenly raised his head!
Those eyes, which originally had a hint of confusion, now burst out with an unprecedented sharp light!
He looked at Izaki Shun and spoke slowly, enunciating each word:
"Senior, I'm not interested in what you're saying."
The smile on Izaki Shun's face froze slightly.
Kirishima Hiromi ignored him. He just slowly pushed away Izaki Shun's hand on his shoulder!
Then, he took a deep breath, and an extremely confident smile appeared on his young and rebellious face.
He knew that he had figured it out.
The awkwardness before was nothing more than the obsession to dominate Suzuran, but the more I got to know Ryuzaki Shin, the more I was impressed by his vision.
hehe...
In that man's eyes, lily of the valley is just a starting point.
All of his so-called ambitions and obsessions were like children playing house in front of that man's grand blueprint. They were ridiculous!
Only by following a man like this can you see scenery that you will never see in your entire life!
Moreover, when he saw the cadres who followed Ryuzaki Zhen, each of them was paid a lot of money, it was impossible not to be envious.
Now he has found the opportunity to reintegrate into the True Dragon Society, regain his footing, and take his brothers to the front, which is this attack on Renyi No. 1 Street!
He looked at Izaki Shun, his sharp eyes burning with flames!
"Senior, this is the last time I will call you that."
"We, the Ebizuka trio, don't need anyone's charity."
"The day after tomorrow, on the battlefield..."
"We will use our fists to get what we want!"
"…"
The smile on Izaki Shun's face completely froze.
He looked at the young man in front of him who seemed to have been reborn in an instant, and a rare look of surprise flashed across his face.
At this moment, Sugihara Makoto, who had been silent all the time, also stepped forward and stood in front of Kirishima Hiromi.
In fact, Makoto Sugihara has always been quite decisive. He has advised Hiromi Kirishima more than once to integrate into the True Dragon Society and be more proactive, but Hiromi Kirishima always said to think about it again.
Originally, he thought that if Kirishima Hiromi still made no progress today, then he would have to go out and do it on his own. After all, this was an opportunity to soar to the sky.
For people like them who are considered bad by others, how many chances do they have to change their fate in life?
But now after hearing Guanghai's reply to Izaki Shun, I understood that this kid had figured it out.
He looked at Izaki Shun, and a provocative smile appeared on his face, which always had a hint of coldness.
"Izaki, Guang Hai has made it very clear."
"Cooperation? Not necessary."
"We will take our place in our own way."
Izaki Shun was so angry that he laughed at his junior's attitude.
He looked at them and nodded slowly.
"good."
"very good."
"I want to see what you, these brats, are capable of."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the three people. He just took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
In those sharp eyes, there was also a burning fighting spirit!
"You little brats, the day after tomorrow, I'll show you what a true senior is!"
…
In the office, Ryuzaki Shin could see the tense scene downstairs through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
An extremely relieved smile appeared on his face.
This is exactly the effect he wants!
Only internal competition can stimulate the greatest potential!
Roll it up, roll it up hard for me!
The more you compete, the easier it will be for me as the boss, and I will have more time to do more and more important things!
Just as he was happily planning his grand plans.
"Knock, knock, knock."
There was a gentle knock on the office door.
A younger brother walked in cautiously, carrying a file bag.
He placed the briefcase respectfully in front of Ryuzaki Makoto.
"Boss, someone just delivered it to the door and said they would give it to you."
Ryuzaki Shin glanced at the wall clock.
Twelve o'clock sharp.
Not too fast, not too slow, just right.
Akutsu, this old fox, is quite punctual.
He slowly opened the file bag that had no label on it.
Then, he pulled out the contents, page by page...
True Dragon Credit, underground office.
Ryuzaki Shin threw the unmarked file bag onto the table, then slowly took out the contents, page by page.
Toaru City Port Police Station, internal personnel files.
Akutsu, this old fox, is really all-powerful and can actually get it.
He set his eyes on the first file.
[Name: Takeru Sato]
Age: 30
Position: Patrol Manager, Coast Guard Section, Toaru City Port Police Station
[Resume: ...]
Ryuzaki Shin just glanced at it casually and threw the file aside.
He continued to flip through the pages, his finger finally stopping on an ordinary-looking file.
[Name: Tsukishiro Masamichi]
Age: 40
Position: Patrol Manager, Coast Guard Section, Toaru City Port Police Station
[Resume: ...]
oh?
The corner of Long Qizhen's mouth curled up into an extremely playful arc.
This guy named Yuecheng Zhengdao is quite interesting.
The report clearly states that this person is upright and honest, does not know how to adapt, and disdains to maintain relationships with his superiors. Therefore, he has a very bad reputation in the police station and has been ostracized a lot.
Among his colleagues who joined the company at the same time, the lowest rank they have now is police lieutenant, but he is the only one who is still in the position of patrol chief and has been working there for more than ten years.
Although the guy named Sato is young, he is smooth and good at building relationships. The promotion position to the head of the Coast Guard Section has basically been given to him.
In the police system of Sakura Country, although the Port Police Station is nominally part of the local police, it is an independent entity due to the special nature of its jurisdiction.
Its internal job grade division also follows national standards.
The lowest level is "patrol", which are ordinary police officers who can be seen on the streets and are responsible for the most basic patrols and law enforcement.
The next step up is the "Patrol Chief", which is equivalent to the sergeant major in the police rank. He is the direct leader of grassroots police officers and also the ceiling of most police officers' careers.
Going up further, there is the "deputy police lieutenant", which is the first step into the cadre class. Usually, he serves as a department head or director, and is in charge of a group of people.
The "Section Chief" of the Coast Guard Section must be at least at the level of "Inspector", which is equivalent to the acting section chief of the Metropolitan Police Department. He holds real power and is definitely the number one figure in this small piece of land of the port.
Ryuzaki Shin also realized that if Sato could not be promoted this time, then in terms of seniority, Yuecheng would definitely take the position.
An honest port policeman?
hehe...
Ryuzaki sneered in his heart.
In this world, no one is absolutely just.
The so-called integrity is nothing more than...
There just aren't enough chips for betrayal.
He slowly stood up and walked to the window, his deep eyes flashing with a cold light.
Sato, you must go down.
And this Yuecheng Zhengdao is the best chess piece that he has planted in the Port Police Station.
As for that gun...
It is the best lever to leverage all of this.
…
at the same time.
Three o'clock in the afternoon, Toaru City Port Police Station.
The atmosphere in the Coast Guard Office was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
Sato Takeru sat in his seat, distracted.
Although his eyes were fixed on the documents in front of him, his thoughts had already drifted away.
In his mind, he kept replaying the scene that happened outside the port warehouse a few days ago.
Why did you just... faint?
When he woke up, there was nothing left at the scene except a few inconspicuous traces of a fight.
He and his two other colleagues were frightened by the sudden turn of events. No one wanted to get into trouble, so they tacitly chose to conceal the matter and did not report it.
After all, less trouble is worse than more.
Moreover, there was no news from Yingshan that anyone had broken into the cargo yard. It seemed that it was just a few drunken delinquent teenagers who accidentally broke in and left on their own.
This is how he comforted himself.
until...
It was not until he returned home at night, took off his police uniform, and was about to lock his gun in the safe that he discovered with horror—
The gun is gone!
At that moment, Sato only felt his hands and feet were cold!
Fear, like an invisible poisonous snake, tightly wrapped around his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe!
He turned his house upside down like a madman, drove back to the police station at night, and searched his office and locker thoroughly!
But the police pistol disappeared without a trace, as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth!
What made him even more desperate was that early the next morning, he saw the shooting incident on Canghai Road on the news!
Although the news report did not mention that the murder weapon was a police gun.
But his intuition told him that it was his gun!
Immediately afterwards, the woman named Kirishima Saeko, who was sent from the Metropolitan Police Department, suddenly appeared at the Port Police Station and asked to check everyone's gun records!
Although it was temporarily blocked by the director in the end on the grounds of "inconsistency with procedures".
But Sato knew that this matter would be exposed sooner or later!
These past few days, he had no appetite, couldn't sleep at night, and was on the verge of collapse!
He didn't even dare to think about what would happen to him if the truth came to light!
Lose your job?
Go to jail?
Ruined reputation?
And the black money I received from Kageyama to manage relationships...
It's over…
It's all over…
Just when he was feeling uneasy and had begun to think about whether he would spend the rest of his life picking up soap in prison or jumping off the roof.
A cold, emotionless voice suddenly sounded above his head.
"Sato."
Sato's body trembled violently!
He jumped up from his chair in an instant like a cat whose tail was stepped on!
He raised his head and saw his immediate superior, the head of the Coast Guard Section, Kuroiwa Masaru, looking at him calmly.
His brain buzzed and went blank in an instant!
It's over…
Yes or no...
Has the truth been revealed?!
Did that damn Kirishima Saeko find out something?!
He felt that his legs were as soft as noodles at this moment and he could hardly stand!
"Section...Section Chief...you...you're looking for me?"
His voice became a little hoarse due to excessive fear.
The section chief didn't say anything, but just looked at him calmly with his calm eyes.
Then, he spoke slowly, his voice expressing no emotion or joy.
"Come with me to the office."
…
The distance from my desk to the section chief's office is only a dozen meters.
But at this moment, under Sato's feet, it became the Yellow Springs Road leading to hell.
His mind was in chaos!
It's over… It's all over…
He had even begun to imagine himself being stripped of his police uniform and put in cold handcuffs.
He thought of his son who was still in elementary school and his gentle and virtuous wife.
I thought about all the hard work and effort I put in to get this promotion...
Dirty deal.
Regret, fear, unwillingness...
All kinds of emotions, like a flood bursting through a dam, instantly devoured his already fragile heart!
He didn't even know how he ended up in that office.
He only knew that the heavy wooden door closed with a "click" behind him.
His world was plunged into complete darkness.
"sit."
Section Chief Kuroiwa remained calm as always. He pointed to the chair opposite him, then began to deal with the documents on his desk.
Sato sat down stiffly like a puppet.
He didn't even dare to sit down firmly, but just used half of his butt to carefully touch the edge of the chair, his body as tense as a stone.
Time, at this moment, becomes incomparably long.
Every second was like a blunt knife, cutting back and forth in his heart.
Finally, when Sato was about to be driven completely crazy by this suffocating silence.
Heiyan Kuang spoke.
He slowly put down the pen in his hand, then raised his head and stared into Sato's eyes.
Then, he spoke slowly. His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder from a clear sky, exploding fiercely in Sato's ears!
"Sato, do you know... about the recent shooting?"
