Isn't that robbing money?
"Not with your Naoes sect, but with you." Katahara Reido corrected, "You also know my childhood friend. Well, I can't say I know him, but you should know that his last name is Wu."
"……Um!?"
For a moment, Naoe Jinjiro almost thought he had heard it wrong.
吴？
At first glance, this sounds like a Chinese surname. After all, there are not many single surnames in Japan, at least not as many surnames with multiple characters. As for the surname Wu, it is even rarer.
But there is indeed one, if we are talking about the surname Wu and the "Wu" he knows.
That's right, it's the notorious killer group entrenched in the Kyoto area.
Thinking of this, Naoe Jinjiro began to automatically compose a suicide note in his mind.
"Don't be nervous, he certainly doesn't want to kill you."
Sensing the panic on the other end of the line, Katahara Retsudo spoke in a soothing voice.
"Besides, doesn't the protection fee that your Naojiang faction paid to the Wu family expire in two and a half years?"
“Yes…Oh.”
Due to excessive nervousness, Jinjiro Naoe split the two short words into two parts.
Indeed, the protection fee that the Naoes faction paid to the Wu clan will not expire for two and a half years. During this period, no matter how much money anyone pays, the Wu clan will not take over the assassination mission against the Naoes faction.
It has to be said that although these killer groups are dangerous, they are relatively stable and controllable if enough money is paid.
Of course, the most important thing is the reputation accumulated over thousands of years.
If you are paid for something, you must keep your word.
"Forget it. Compared to all this, why don't you make time to visit him when you are free recently?"
Katahara Retsudo reported the company address on the phone that Wu Yi had previously told Katahara Shaoxiang on the phone.
"Remember to call me back when you've arranged a time. Don't worry too much. My sister will be there too."
"Ms. Meixiang, okay, I understand..."
Volume 532: Chapter Ayanokouji Atsuomi: Danger
Just two minutes after Katahara Retsudo hung up the phone, Wu Yi, who had already returned to the company, also received a text message saying "I've arranged it for you. I'll get back to you in two days."
At this moment, he was in his room, sitting on the edge of the bed, and the sound of water dripping could be heard from the bathroom in the room.
That was Sakura Airi taking a bath. Through the unsoundproofed walls of the room, she could vaguely hear the sound of her humming.
"It looks like it's done. Anyway, all we have to do now is wait..."
Wu Yi muttered to himself and replied "OK, thanks". He then turned off the screen, put down his phone, stood up from the bed, unbuckled his belt and lifted up his shirt. In a few seconds, he was left with only a pair of boxer briefs.
He came to the bathroom door and pushed it open, and at the same time the girl's unexpected scream was heard.
"Hey, classmate Wu Yi, why did you come in?"
"How is it, is the water temperature suitable?"
Wu Yi answered the question irrelevantly and closed the door behind him.
"It's okay, that..."
"uh-huh?"
But after just two or three sentences, the conversation coming from the door turned into unclear and slightly shy moans.
In this way, a few days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Katahara Retsudo also sent a message to arrange a meeting time.
Then finally the appointed day arrived.
Horikita Suzune came earlier than last time. When it was nine in the morning, with the sound of the elevator outside arriving at the floor, the company's door was pushed open from the outside.
"Good morning, everyone~"
Katara Shoka, dressed in holiday casual attire, walked in with brisk steps, greeted everyone and walked around them. In front of Karuizawa Megumi and other girls who had already gotten up, she gave a big hug to Wu Yi, who had just finished breakfast and was busy eating an apple on the sofa and hadn't reacted yet.
"Long time no see Yi-chan!"
"Yeah, it's been a while since we last met, Sister Shaoxiang."
Wu Yi put down the apple and said, noticing the unfriendly looks from the other girls around him, he looked away guiltily, but still held his hands tightly.
Following closely behind her was Garuda, a girl with long black straight hair, dragging a large suitcase.
"Ah~ The wine has been brought."
She glanced at Katara Katahara Katako, who was sitting astride her brother's lap on the sofa with a look of satisfaction on her face and didn't want to let go at all, and then looked at the sisters-in-law around her who were emitting dark aura. Garuda scratched her face and smiled helplessly, feeling very conscious of being a sister-in-law.
"Sorry to bother you later, bro~"
"Uh uh, your room is at the back, I've already packed it up for you."
At this time, Wu Yi was being smeared with facial cleanser by Shaoxiang in a position that was enough to make Lietang stab his brothers twice. He couldn't even close his mouth and his words were completely unclear.
Fortunately, the brother and sister had already developed a tacit understanding over the years. Garuda nodded in understanding, said thank you, and ran across the hall.
The noisy situation outside lasted for a while before it died down. Five minutes later, Katara Shoka got off Wu Yi reluctantly, and at the same time turned sideways to glance at the elevator hall outside.
"Well, it's almost time, right?"
"coming soon?"
Wu Yi, who had received news from Lietang a long time ago, knew that she was talking about Naoes Jinjiro, so she turned her head and looked in that direction.
Ding--
At this moment, another crisp bell rang from the elevator lobby outside.
One of the six elevators in the commercial building happened to stop at the 24th floor. As the elevator doors opened to both sides, a man in a suit and tie who looked very expensive, but wearing a mask and a wig on his head, walked out.
He seemed to be in a hurry. After knocking three times symbolically in front of the glass door, he pushed the door open and walked in. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on Wu Yi and Qiao Xiang sitting on the sofa.
"You must be Mr. Naoie, please take a seat."
Qiaoxiang was the first to react. She stood up and invited with a smile in a very gentlemanly manner.
"It seems I'm in the right place..."
After confirming his identity, the man with the highest disguise index finally breathed a sigh of relief, took off his wig and mask, revealing the face underneath, that of Naoesuke Jinnosuke.
It was indeed a face without many features. It was neither handsome nor elegant. It was just a very ordinary face, like a middle-aged man bent over by the mortgage and car loans, with a bit of the cautiousness unique to Japanese politicians.
But it was this face that made Yukinoshita Haruno beside her open her mouth slightly.
"Are you Secretary General Naoie..."
"Ok?"
Perhaps he didn't expect to be addressed so respectfully here, Naoe Jinjiro looked back and was slightly stunned.
"I remember you seemed to be from Chiba Yukinoshita's family...ah, hello, hello."
Although he didn't understand the logic at all and didn't know why the other party was here, he still completed a series of actions from greeting to shaking hands to graceful farewell with the demeanor of a qualified and excellent politician, and finally sat down on the sofa opposite Wu Yi.
Wu Yi got straight to the point and said, "Lietang should have already explained the general situation on the phone. I can see that Secretary-General Naojiang must have a lot of other things to do next, so let's skip the unnecessary self-introductions and get straight to the point."
"can."
Naoes Jinjiro nodded eagerly, and he naturally agreed with Wu Yi's proposal with both hands and feet raised.
On the one hand, he didn't want to stay in front of this pair of black and white eyes that were so different from those of ordinary people, and on the other hand, he was really in a hurry.
In order to fulfill Retsudo Katahara's advice of "keeping the meeting as low-key as possible", he deliberately adjusted the meeting time to when he was on his way to give a speech somewhere else. This way, it didn't matter if he was ten or twenty minutes late. At most, he could just make the excuse that there was a traffic jam and no one would suspect anything.
But the prerequisite is that it can be solved within ten to twenty minutes.
"Regarding the fatal elimination tournament that will be held in a while, I think Secretary-General Naoie should have known about it a long time ago, right?"
Without waiting for Naoes Jinjiro to answer, Wu Yi continued talking to himself.
"The deal I want to make is very simple. You and I both know that the Naoe faction has had a hard time in the past two years. Its funds and power are quite restricted. So I want to extend the Naoe faction's protection period under the Wu clan for one year free of charge in exchange for a promise from Secretary-General Naoe."
"Promise what?"
"I promise that in the upcoming Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament, I will replace the corporate agent sent by Naoes with Ayanokouji Atsuomi."
Volume 533: Chapter : Still saying she’s not a concubine?
Want him to replace the company representative with Ayanokouji Atsuomi?
To be honest, if we just look at the facts, this matter is not a difficult thing for Naoesi Jinjiro, and it is not difficult to understand.
Just like the two matches with Niumin Catering Services and Yiwu Real Estate that took place some time ago, the two competing parties in the Kengan competition usually have corporate representatives and fighters appearing together.
Just like Rito and Yoshitake Keirō, Wuyi and Sakayanagi Arisu Yukinoshita Haruno.
Because the results of the competition will be delivered to the winning company representative in front of so many eyes on the scene, it is almost impossible for a fighter to participate alone and then leave after the fight.
As for Ayanokouji Atsuomi, Naoes Jinjiro was also very familiar with him. He was a talent discovered by his father when he was in power. Although he was born as an ordinary person with nothing in the class-stratified Japanese society, he had ambition and ruthlessness that no one could match. He completed all the tasks entrusted to him with an attitude of risking his life, which was why he was appreciated by the former leader of the Naoes faction.
However, it is precisely because Ayanokouji Atsuomi's methods were too ruthless and he did too many things that were too harmful to the harmony of the world, that although he made great contributions to the Naoes faction, he has been full of controversy within the Naoes faction until now. This issue has intensified in the past two years after the death of Naoes Jinnosuke.
But even so, Ayanokouji Atsuomi is still an excellent pair of white gloves.
For Naoes Jinjiro, it is not impossible to replace the former with the representative of the Naoes faction in the fatal elimination match. The only difference is that you pay for two McFlurry and it is you who takes it or me who takes it in the end.
But the problem was that this request was made by Wu Yi, which forced him to consider it carefully.
Since this family of embryo killers made such a request and offered such a generous reward, it was obvious that Naoes Jinjiro had to make a choice.
If he agreed, he would sacrifice Ayanokouji Atsuomi, this excellent white glove, in exchange for a year's breathing time for the entire Naoes faction.
But if you refuse, that’s hard to say.
Agree or reject?
After a moment of silence, Naoe Jinjiro gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
"Got it. I will arrange it, but I have one condition. I hope you can help me kill another person by then."
"what?"
Wu Yi tilted his head, looked at him sideways and picked his ears.
"Your Naojiang faction pays us a lot of protection fees every year. If I change you, you can be exempted from the fee for a year. It's a good deal, right? It's not good to be greedy."
"I, I know, it's another business."
The most important thing for a politician is to learn to adapt to the situation. Seeing Wu Yi's impatient look, Naoe Jinjiro immediately withdrew all previous attempts and changed his words fluently.
"Oh, another business, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wu Yi flicked off a little crumb from the cracks between his little fingernails. "Tell me, who will you kill, and how much will you pay?"
"...Bando Yohei, have you heard of this person?" Naoe Jinjiro swallowed.
"No."
Wu Yi refused bluntly.
"This man was once a student at the Department of Medicine at Teito University." Naoe Jinjiro explained slowly, "When he was in his third year, he attacked the office of a violent group, affecting 22 people, killing 17 of them and injuring 5. He then killed two of the six police officers who came to arrest him, and the remaining four were injured. But the miraculous thing is that after he did all this, he surrendered voluntarily and was arrested."
"He killed so many people and attacked the police. He is bound to be sentenced to death, right?" Wu Yi said.
"Yes, he should have been sentenced to death." At this point, Naoe Jinjiro's voice inevitably trembled slightly, "But Bando Yohei survived his first execution for a full ninety minutes, and in the following twenty-five years, he experienced forty-five consecutive executions, but all ended in failure."
"Huh?"
After hearing this, Wu Yi also became interested.
For the sake of general knowledge, there is no such thing as shooting or using drugs in Japan's death penalty. Only hanging can be carried out. Therefore, the death penalty has been implemented for 25 consecutive years and no one has been killed. In other words... This plot sounds familiar. I have seen a comedy movie like this before.
Thinking of this, his body began to sway slightly back and forth.
I wonder if Secretary-General Naoe also understood the joke, and he nodded heavily.
"Yes, that's right. I didn't want to take this mission at first, but when the higher-ups gave it to me, none of the other factions dared to guarantee that they could complete it, so in the end it fell to our Naoes faction."
grass……
But comedy movies are just comedy movies after all. It is almost impossible for anyone to have a neck like that in real life. Moreover, it sounds magical that a top medical student could attack the office of a violent group, causing 17 deaths and 5 injuries, and kill the police who came to arrest him.
Unless this Bando Yohei's body, from bones to muscles, is different from that of ordinary people.
Wu Yi said: "I think this is a good opportunity, since other factions don't dare to take it. But if your Naojiang faction completes it, I believe you will never be intimidated by other factions again, right?"
"More than that." Naoe Jinjiro shook his head honestly, "As long as we can complete this mission, the Naoe faction will not only be able to return to its peak, but can even go further. Although we have done some preparatory work, we still hope to entrust professional people to do professional things for safety reasons."
