Fengxian, training ground.
The air smelled of sweat, rust, and dust.
The afternoon sun streamed in through the windows.
Ming Hai was older than me, squatting quietly on the sponge mat.
Narumi Daigo
Just then, a steady sound of footsteps came from the entrance, neither fast nor slow.
Ming Haida, I know that the person he is waiting for has come.
"Call me here, what's the matter?"
A cold yet calm voice rang out in the empty training ground.
The person who came was none other than Mito Makio's younger brother, and the future king recognized by the entire Fengxian—
Tatsuya Mito.
Meitalong also
Narumi Daigo slowly stood up from the ground. He didn't look at Mito Tatsuya, but just cast his gaze around the empty space, his eyes full of reminiscence.
"The smell of Maki-sama's sweat still lingers here. I can still smell it."
"That man has the smell of a real man."
When Mito Ryuya heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Narumi Daigo seemed to have realized the ambiguity in his words. He turned around and looked at Mito Tatsuya with an extremely serious expression on his face.
"I'm not gay."
Narumi Daigo
Mito Tatsuya: "..."
He looked at the guy in front of him with a strange way of thinking and decided not to waste time talking to him.
"What's the matter with you looking for me?"
The smile on Ming Hai Daiwo's face gradually faded, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
"Why are you not interested in avenging your elder brother?"
Mei Tenglong also knew what Ming Hai Dawo was talking about, which was revenge on Suzuran.
After Ryuzaki Shin taught Fengxian's cadres a lesson at noon that day, he came back and told Ming Haida about it.
Two years ago, Narumi Daigo was a junior of Mito Makio.
I admire Mito Makio very much.
Of course, he also inherited Mito Makio's wish, which was to defeat Suzuran, but due to the armistice agreement that was originally made, he never took action.
When he heard that Suzuran was unified by a man named Ryuzaki Makoto and that the armistice agreement had been torn up, he immediately decided to launch a sneak attack on Suzuran and launch a revenge.
Of course, this plan also invited Mei Teng Makio's younger brother, Mei Tenglong, to participate, but Mei Tenglong also refused.
This is why Narumi-sama asked this question.
However, when Midori heard this, there was no trace of emotion on his face.
He just looked at Ming Hai Daiwo quietly, his eyes were as calm as a bottomless cold pool, and no emotion could be seen in them.
"Brother is not dead."
"In my heart, he's still alive."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Narumi Daigo's eyes.
But he quickly suppressed this disappointment.
He knew that this man, Mito Tatsuya, was different from him.
His ambition and pride are hidden beneath that calm appearance.
"Conquering Suzuran is the long-cherished wish of Makiyo-sama and me."
"So, I'll do it with you, won't I?"
As Makio's younger brother, Meitenlongye certainly wants Fengxian to be strong, but he does not agree with Minghai Daiga's way.
Meitalong also
Of course, he also understood that Ming Haida was already obsessed and knew that the other party would not give up until he encountered a wall.
After thinking about it, he said.
"Go get the lily of the valley for me, and then I will use my method to make Fengxian stronger."
Meitenglong also paused and continued to add.
"I'm even stronger than when Big Brother was here. I want to surpass him in the future."
Rather than saying that Fengxian is united, it is better to say that Fengxian has a certain kind of inheritance.
If an ordinary boss heard this, he would definitely be furious.
What do you mean? I'm charging ahead, and you have to take the final fruits of victory.
But Narumi-sama didn't think so at all. He had determined from the beginning that Ryuya would take over Fengxian, and everything he did was to pave the way for Ryuya.
After hearing what Ryuya said, he knew that Ryuya was on the same page with him, and his expression became excited.
Narumi Daiga looked at him and smiled.
This is Mito Makio's younger brother!
"As expected of you."
Narumi Daiga suddenly took a step forward, opened his arms, and gave Mito Tatsuya a hug!
He patted Mito Tatsuya's back heavily and said loudly with all his strength:
"rest assured!"
Mido Ryuya felt the force coming from his back.
He didn't say anything else, just gently pushed Ming Hai away, and then walked towards the exit of the training ground without looking back.
Just as he was about to walk out of the door, Narumi Daigo's voice came from behind him.
"The current Lily of the Valley may be stronger than before."
"Because the man who reigns over Suzuran right now is called Ryuzaki Shin."
"I heard that the monster Serizawa Tamao was easily defeated by him."
"That guy named Ryuzaki Makoto is definitely not an ordinary person."
"but..."
A raging fire burned in Narumi Daigo's eyes again!
"No matter what, we will win!"
"Once I defeat Linglan this time, I will hand Fengxian over to you intact!"
Mito Ryu didn't even look back, but just waved his hand casually, and his tall figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Only Narumi Daigo was left standing alone in the empty training ground.
He looked at the departing figure and took a slow, deep breath.
Maki-sama...
Long Ye has grown up.
He will become a king stronger than you.
Just when he was excited!
"Ding-ling-ling——!"
A rapid cell phone ring suddenly exploded in the silent training ground!
Narumi frowned, pulled his flip phone out of his pocket, and glanced at the caller ID.
Unknown number.
He pressed the answer button.
"Hello, who is this?"
A joking male voice came slowly from the other end of the phone.
"The person who hit me, don't you know who I am?"
As I listened to the strange yet teasing voice on the phone, my brows instantly twisted into a knot.
He didn't ask any more questions, but guessed the other person's identity based on his intuition and the content of the other person's words.
"Are you Ryuzaki Shin?"
When Ryuzaki Shin heard this, he laughed.
"It seems you are not that stupid."
"Haha..." Ming Haida also laughed, "Why, you called me now, do you have any advice?"
Long Qizhen didn't waste any more time talking to him. He just said calmly:
"See you at the gate of Fengxian School in half an hour."
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a snap.
Ming Haida listened to the busy tone coming from the mobile phone and slowly closed the flip phone.
There was a ripple in his eyes.
…
Half an hour later, outside the gate of Fengxian School, on a forest path.
This is the special place where Fengxian students "solve problems" on a daily basis. There seems to be a faint smell of blood in the air.
Dozens of Fengxian elite soldiers, wearing the same white uniform and with shaved heads, stood silently, making the temperature around them seem to drop several degrees.
Standing in front of the team, he licked his two empty tooth sockets with the tip of his tongue, feeling the still aching wound and the lingering smell of blood. The anger in his heart started to burn again!
He turned his head and looked at the still calm Narumi Daigo beside him, and there was a hint of anxiety in his voice that was difficult to conceal.
"Boss, it's already been half an hour! Is that kid trying to trick us?!"
Ming Haida I didn't say anything.
He just stood there quietly, staring at the end of the trail.
Narumi Daigo
Just when the fighting spirit was about to completely lose patience!
boom--!
boom--!
boom--!
An extremely arrogant roar of an engine, coming from far away and getting closer, tore apart the dead silence!
Narumi Daiga slowly raised his head.
He felt that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
Next second!
A black dot appeared at the end of everyone's vision.
The black spot was growing wildly at an extremely terrifying speed!
The pitch-black Harley motorcycle rushed towards the "sea of people" composed of people in white uniforms!
There's not even the slightest sign of slowing down!
"Fuck! What does this lunatic want to do?! Does he want to run us over?!"
The fighting spirit in the field was so frightened when he saw the steel beast getting closer and closer!
He subconsciously wanted to dodge!
The surrounding Fengxian members, who also had terrified faces, were like a flock of frightened birds, and subconsciously wanted to dodge to the sides!
However, Narumi Daigo still stood there, motionless.
He just watched quietly, watching the motorcycle getting closer and closer to him.
At that moment, the Harley motorcycle was less than ten meters away from him!
"squeak--!!!"
The harsh sound of tires rubbing against each other made an extremely sharp sound!
The unstoppable Harley motorcycle, with a textbook-level drift and a disgusting smell of burnt tire friction, stopped steadily in front of Ming Hai Daiwo!
The wheel was less than ten centimeters away from his knees!
The strong airflow made his white uniform rustle!
"Fuck! Ryuzaki Shin! You're a fucking lunatic!"
De Chang Douzhi looked at the thrilling scene in front of him, then looked at the younger brothers behind him who were in a mess because of panic, and he felt a burning pain on his face!
He roared and was about to step forward!
Ming Hai is older than me, but he slowly raised his hand to stop him.
He just watched quietly as the man slowly walked down from the motorcycle.
Ryuzaki Shin parked the car and got out without even looking at the Fengxian members who were completely frightened.
He just cast his gaze on the motionless man in front of him.
He smiled.
"Why not avoid it?"
Narumi Daiga looked at him, his voice still so calm.
"I believe that the man who unifies Suzuran will not resort to despicable tactics like Kawanishi."
When Ryuzaki Shin heard this, he burst into laughter.
"Haha, you think highly of me."
He paused, then changed the subject, his tone becoming extremely contemptuous.
"But, in my opinion, Fengxian's boss seems... no different from that idiot Chuanxi."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Fengxian members present were instantly shocked!
Ming Hai Da I know he is referring to Fengxian's hunting plan for Linglan.
But my face didn't blush and my heart didn't beat fast.
He just said calmly: "You hit our people, and our people hit your people, it's fair."
"Besides, you, Linglan, were wrong first. You can't blame others. Moreover, it was you who broke the non-aggression pact. You deserve to be punished."
Ryuzaki Shin looked at him with a matter-of-fact look and smiled.
"fair?"
"You guys are just a bunch of rubbish who only know how to sneak attack, and you think you're qualified to talk to me about fairness?"
"Fengxian likes to play double standards, but that doesn't work with me!"
Ming Haida has his own set of ideas, and of course he doesn't want to argue with Ryuzaki Shin on this issue, so he asked directly.
"Okay, we're not having a debate."
"What do you want to do today? Just tell me."
At this moment, the familiar voice sounded again in Ryuzaki Shin's mind.
[Ding! Detected that the host is facing a choice, the God-level selection system is activated! ]
[Option 1: Fengxian? Just a bunch of pheasants huddling together for warmth! I alone am enough to handle you! Completion Reward: Physical Talent [Undying Fighting Will] (Basic) evolves to [Undying Fighting Will] (Intermediate). Effect: While in combat, your physical strength will continuously regenerate. After combat, you will enter a brief state of weakness, the duration of which is determined by your physical fitness.]
Option 2: It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Why don't we shake hands and make peace? Let's keep our distance from each other. Completion Reward: Gain the skill [Glib Tongue], making it easier to persuade others during negotiations.
Option 3: A true man can bend and stretch! Immediately slide to your knees and admit defeat, claiming your skills are inferior, and willingly submitting to Fengxian. Completion Reward: Obtain the title [Turtle Grandson]. Wearing Effect: All Fengxian members' favorability towards you increases by 50, but your prestige with all non-Fengxian members is permanently reduced by 50%.
Ryuzaki Shin looked at the three options in front of him and smiled.
Needless to say, the system understands him quite well.
That's right, even without the system option, this is the only choice in his plan.
Challenge Fengxian alone.
The reason is very simple.
I am not a saint. When the True Dragon Society is about to get back on track, all the grassroots cadres under my command are admitted to the hospital. How can I not vent my anger?
As the saying goes, everything else is nonsense. If your thoughts are not clear, nothing will go smoothly.
The second is to establish authority.
He still remembered what Hayashida Kei had said before.
Once the only king appears in the Lily of the Valley forest, hunters outside the forest will come, smelling the blood.
Instead of passively waiting for those flies to come to you one by one, it is better to use the most direct and violent way to get rid of them once and for all.
He wanted to use Fengxian's corpse to declare his dominance, and make all those who coveted this land consider whether they were qualified.
The last and most important point.
Benefit.
Before Fengxian provoked Linglan, she was too lazy to pay attention to him.
But now it's different.
Now that we have decided to fight, we must maximize our benefits.
What does Impatiens have?
The most valuable thing is people.
The simplest and most effective way to get Fengxian is to subdue their boss.
It is obvious that Narumi Daigo is not capable of this. His belief is to defeat Suzuran and fulfill Makio's dream.
It is not in line with my own interests. As for changing Ming Haida's thoughts, forget it. I don't have the time for that.
But there is one person who is different, that is Mei Teng Longye. This person's idea is to make Fengxian stronger.
Ryuya is also the logical next leader of Fengxian.
The fighting ability of this Meitenlongye is also very strong. He was later called one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Toaru, and it is not a false reputation.
The deceased Kunou Ryushin was also one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
But Jiu Neng Long Xin was abused by Mei Teng Long when he was still in junior high school.
It can be seen that Mei Tenglong's combat effectiveness is definitely not weak, stronger than any of his subordinates.
As for how to do it, Long Qi really had an idea.
That is to violently destroy Ming Hai Daiwo's rule, and then Mei Tenglong will be able to take over Fengxian at this juncture.
As for how to subdue Midoriya, Ryuzaki already has an idea in mind.
Thinking of this, Ryuzaki Shin muttered to himself.
"I choose one!"
[Ding! Selection successful! Reward: Physical talent [Undying Fighting Will] (Basic) evolves to [Undying Fighting Will] (Intermediate). Effect: While in combat, physical strength will continuously recover. After combat, you will enter a brief state of weakness, the duration of which is determined by your physical fitness.]
Ryuzaki didn't feel any physical changes.
However, he also figured out that this skill might only be useful in combat.
Although the previous immortal fighting spirit can quickly recover physical strength, it will also cause losses.
Now, as long as you fight, you won't be exhausted. As for the weakness after the battle, don't worry about it for now. As long as you knock down everyone you can see, the weakness won't matter.
And this reward has another benefit.
The five major forces have a lot of people under their command, and the strength of the bosses of the five major forces is really strong, so there will be a lot of battles to come.
There may even be a huge melee involving hundreds of people!
This skill is also very useful for your battles in the SWORD area.
After thinking about this, Ryuzaki Shin looked at Narumi Daiga in front of him.
"Tomorrow at noon, in your Fengxian, we will settle the feud between our two schools."
Ryuzaki really didn't plan to take action now.
After all, he is still the boss of Lily of the Valley, and he still carries the backbone of Lily of the Valley on his shoulders.
If he wanted to fight, he would do it in front of everyone, openly and squarely, on the opponent's territory, and crush them completely!
This is the demeanor of a king.
This is the romance that belongs to men.
However, after I knock you down, the accounts with Linglan and Fengxian will be written off, but I will have to settle the account with the True Dragon Society with you, so don't blame me for being ruthless.
He said without looking at Narumi Daiwo again.
He turned around, mounted his Harley, and sped away amidst a deafening roar of the engine!
Narumi Daiga looked at Ryuzaki Shin's departing back, and at this moment, there was an extremely complicated light flashing in his eyes.
He slowly raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and muttered to himself.
"Brother Makiyo, let me fulfill your wish..."
…
An hour later, at the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
A gentle breeze, with a hint of coolness, blew through the silent cemetery, rolling up a few fallen leaves, which swirled among the cold tombstones.
Meitenglong also stood in front of the grave of his elder brother Meiteng Makio, clearing weeds with tools.
This is a cemetery. Usually no one takes care of it. If no one comes for a month, it will grow weeds.
After clearing the weeds, Mido Ryuya knelt in front of the grave. He used a clean towel to carefully wipe every inch of the stone surface on the tombstone.
His movements were very gentle.
Those eyes that always had a hint of alienation were now filled with a rare sadness.
Today is my eldest brother's death anniversary.
He knew that although that man had fallen in the battle two years ago, his soul had never left him.
He has been looking at himself and Fengxian in the sky.
Just as he was lost in thought, a very light sound of footsteps, almost blending into the sound of the wind, slowly came from behind him.
Long didn't care. After all, this was a cemetery and many people came here every day.
But the footsteps came closer and closer, and finally stopped beside him.
Mito Tatsuya's movements paused slightly.
He didn't look back, but calmly wiped away the last bit of dust on the tombstone.
Then, he slowly raised his head and saw a pair of feet wearing simple casual shoes and a pair of jeans.
The person who came was a young man.
A young man in a white shirt whom he had never seen before.
The young man didn't speak.
He simply placed a white flower gently in front of Makio's grave.
Ryuya Mito looked at him and frowned slightly.
He thought it was an old friend of his brother, but when he looked closely, he found that he didn't know him at all.
My brother's friends should have seen it themselves.
This person must have made a mistake.
"Sorry, you might have sent it to the wrong person."
Ryuya's voice, like his eyes, was a little distant.
However, the young man smiled.
"Oh? Isn't this the grave of Mito Makio?"
"yes."
"Then it's not a wrong one."
Mito Tatsuya's brow furrowed even deeper.
"Are you my brother's friend?"
The young man shook his head, and his gaze moved away from the cold tombstone and slowly fell on Tatsuya Mito.
"no."
"I haven't even met him."
This time, Midori was completely confused.
He looked at the man in front of him with a puzzled look.
The young man seemed to see through his thoughts and he slowly turned around.
He looked at Mito Tatsuya and said meaningfully.
"I don't like looking back at the past, I prefer looking forward to the future."
"So, relative to the sunset at dusk."
He paused, and a beautiful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I prefer the morning sun."
Mito Tatsuya's heart suddenly shuddered!
He looked at the man in front of him, and at this moment, for some reason, his heart began to beat violently!
Long Ye could tell from the man's words that he was not coming to see his brother, but to see himself.
What exactly is this man's purpose?
He asked subconsciously.
"Who are you?"
The young man showed an extremely bright, even dazzling smile on his face.
But his tone was still so calm.
"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Ryuzaki Shin..."
Mito Tatsuya's eyes rippled the moment he heard Ryuzaki Shin's name.
Ryuzaki Shin!
Tyrannosaurus of Lily of the Valley!
It was this man who, in just a few days, accomplished the feat of unifying Lily of the Valley with overwhelming force!
It was this man who, in front of everyone yesterday, beat the king that Fengxian was so proud of like a stray dog!
Narumi-sama had already told him everything that had happened.
Ryuya immediately became alert.
Are you here to cause trouble for me?
That should be correct.
Fengxian had just launched a sneak attack on Linglan. As Linglan's boss, how could she possibly swallow this insult?
As Makio's younger brother, it is natural for him to come to me first.
Ryuya didn't know that Ryuzaki Shin had already been to Fengxian.
Now I just simply think that Ryuzaki is here to cause trouble.
Think of this.
Long Ye first bowed respectfully to the cold tombstone.
Then, he turned his back to Ryuzaki Shin and prepared to leave.
Long Ye said as he walked.
"This is where my brother rests, and I don't want him to be disturbed."
"If you want to fight, come with me. There's a secluded place over there."
There was no flinch in his voice.
These words surprised Long Qizhen.
He listened and suddenly laughed.
There was no sarcasm or disdain in that smile, only the feeling that this kid was a little amusing.
"What are you thinking about, kid?"
"I can't do something like disturbing the peace of the dead."
There was a lazy tone in Ryuzaki Shin's voice, which instantly diluted the tense atmosphere.
Ryuya's footsteps paused slightly.
He looked at Ryuzaki Shin, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.
"So what are you doing here today?"
"Just want to see me?"
Long Qizhen didn't answer. He just slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"yes..."
He paused and shook his head again.
"Not really."
What Ryuya hated the most was this kind of roundabout way of speaking. He didn't waste any more words and walked straight in front of Ryuqi Zhen. His sharp eyes stared at him intently.
"Boss of Linglan, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"I think, given our current position, we can't talk to each other as friends."
Seeing him like this, Ryuzaki Shin was not angry at all, but smiled even more happily.
After dealing with Ajiutsu for a long time, I actually like this kind of straightforward guy.
Much more interesting than those old foxes who have all sorts of tricks in their hearts.
He stretched out his hand and placed it on Ryuya's shoulder very naturally. The action seemed as if they were not enemies, but old friends who had known each other for many years.
Ryuya's body stiffened instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but an irresistible force pressed him firmly in place, unable to move!
He was horrified!
The power of this man...
How could it be so terrifying?!
"Just because we're not friends now doesn't mean we won't be friends in the future."
Ryuzaki Shin leaned close to his ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Things like feelings change with time and perspective, don't they?"
Ryuzaki Shin let go of his hand and ignored the boy who was still in shock. He turned around, looked at the cold tombstone, and spoke slowly. His voice seemed to carry a hint of magic.
"Longye, if one day, you inherit Fengxian."
"what will you do?"
Although Ryuya's heart was still filled with vigilance, he still answered subconsciously:
"Lead Fengxian and become stronger."
"Stronger?"
Ryuzaki really laughed.
He turned around slowly, his deep eyes seemed to see through everything.
"This statement is too broad."
"How do you prove that Fengxian has become stronger?"
Ryuya's body suddenly stiffened!
He looked at Ryuzaki Shin with a confused look on his face.
yes...
How to prove it?
Are you better at fighting with the help of your subordinates?
Fengxian is not bullied by outsiders?
None of these seem to be able to truly prove that Fengxian has become stronger.
Attack Lily of the Valley like your brother?
Ryuya looked up at Ryuqi Zhen, and for some reason, the idea was instantly dispelled.
Only then did he realize that he had never seriously thought about this problem.
Looking at him, the smile on Ryuzaki's face became even more playful.
He knew the fish had taken the bait.
Then Ryuzaki Shin took a deep puff of his cigarette and spoke in the tone of someone who had experienced it.
"For me, there is only one way to prove my strength."
He slowly raised his hand, extended a finger, and pointed at the city in the distance that was wrapped in steel and concrete.
"That is...conquest!"
His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, exploding fiercely in Long Ye's mind!
"Use your fists to crush all doubts!"
"Use your will to crush all enemies!"
"Crush all those who disobey you under your feet and make them the most docile dogs at your feet!"
"Let them wag their tails and beg for mercy in front of you!"
"Let them obediently dedicate their territory to you!"
"This is true power!"
Ryuzaki Makoto's words were like the most vicious whisper of the devil, and every word was filled with a temptation that made one's blood boil!
Long also felt his blood burning at this moment!
However, the next second!
The face of his elder brother Makio, who always had a bright smile, involuntarily emerged in his mind.
Long Ye shook his head violently, suppressing the inappropriate restlessness!
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
His voice became distant again.
Ryuzaki Shin looked at him and laughed in his heart.
He knew the seed had been planted.
All that's left is to wait for it to take root and sprout.
He didn't say anything else, just waved his hand casually, turned around and prepared to leave.
Ryuzaki Shin spoke as he walked, his voice echoing in the empty cemetery.
"In one's lifetime, one has to make countless choices."
"Every choice you make determines the path you will take in the future."
"Today, we can stand here and talk calmly, but tomorrow, we may become enemies."
"Tatsuya..."
He paused slightly, but did not look back.
"I'm looking forward to seeing what choice you'll make next time we meet."
Ryuzaki Shin's figure slowly disappeared at the end of the cemetery.
Only Mito Tatsuya was left standing there quietly.
The breeze, with a chill, kept blowing against Ryuya's clothes.
I don't know how long it took.
He slowly squatted down and gently took the yellowed photo of his brother off the tombstone.
He used his fingertips to gently stroke the man in the photo, who was arm in arm with him and smiling brightly.
There was pain and confusion in his eyes.
"elder brother..."
He looked at the photo and muttered to himself.
"If it were you..."
"How would you choose..."
Ryuzaki Shin took the last puff of his cigarette, flicked the butt, and finally it fell to the ground, where he crushed it with his toes.
He got on his Harley and looked at the time. It was three o'clock in the afternoon.
He thought about it and decided to go to Zhenlong Credit to check the funds that had arrived, and then discuss the specific arrangements with several dragon generals.
Moreover, Serizawa and the others were still in the hospital. As the boss, if he didn't go to see his injured subordinates, he would lose the support of the people.
As for Gui Xiegao, there shouldn't be any action today, but that may not be the case tomorrow.
After finishing Fengxian's business, I'll go to Naomi's restaurant and see what's going on in the SWORD area.
Thinking of this, he twisted the throttle, and Harley let out a low roar and rushed towards Black Crow Town.
…
As the motorcycle drove into Black Crow Town, Ryuzaki Shin looked at the scene on the street and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time in the afternoon, the streets were still deserted, most shops had their shutters drawn, and only a few pedestrians hurried by.
He knew that this block was previously full of casinos, pachinko shops and the like, and after he ordered them to be closed, it naturally lost its popularity.
Long Qi really didn't want to open a casino, but he didn't want to open a place that could only make money from the hard-earned money of poor people.
If poor people gamble, they may lose everything and their families may be separated.
It's not that I feel sorry for these people's daily lives, but this kind of business is too troublesome and will only make my territory a mess.
If you want to drive, drive a truly high-end one.
If you want to make money, make money from rich people.
Only by draining the wallets of the rich can you quickly build your own empire.
Places like Hei Ya Town and Jinyi Ichibangai are more practical and down-to-earth if they do business in catering, clothing, entertainment, etc.
While Ryuzaki Shin was thinking, he had already arrived at the door of Shinlong Credit.
As soon as he parked the car, he saw a familiar figure standing stubbornly at the door, his face, which always showed a unwillingness to admit defeat, was full of stubbornness.
That person was none other than Genji Takiya.
Beside him, Jin Kirisawa was leaning against the wall, his arms folded across his chest, a calm expression on his face.
Seeing Ryuzaki Shin coming over, Kirisawa Jin immediately stepped forward, pointed at Genji who was still in a daze, and lowered his voice:
"Boss, this guy has been standing here since the afternoon, saying he was waiting for you."
Ryuzaki Shin nodded, indicating that he understood.
He could guess what Genji was trying to do even with his butt.
The reason why Genji came to Suzuran was to prove his ability to his father.
Then he transferred to Suzuran High School and set his goal to reach the pinnacle of Suzuran and unify Suzuran.
The reason you come to me is to challenge yourself.
What a stubborn idiot.
Ryuzaki Shin shook his head and walked forward quickly.
When Genji saw him, fighting spirit instantly ignited in his eyes!
He was just about to speak and utter the challenge declaration that he had rehearsed in his mind countless times.
Ryuzaki Shin's fist had already arrived first.
Bang!
A dull thud!
Genji didn't even have time to react, he just felt his lower abdomen being hit hard!
His whole body instantly bent like a shrimp, holding his stomach, and fell to his knees in pain, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Ryuzaki Shin looked at his miserable appearance, shook his head, and his tone was full of contempt.
"Look at you, you can't even take a punch from me."
"Face the reality. Going back to be your gangster prince is better than fighting and killing here, isn't it?"
He paused, and as if remembering something, he added:
"Oh, right, what's the saying? We're not afraid of the rich second generation squandering their wealth, we're just afraid of them wanting to start a business."
"That's what I mean."
"Oh, and please take care of your dad when you have time. He might get into trouble soon."
"After all, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet."
Genji's father, Takitani Hideo, will be shot by Kawanishi soon. Although Ryuzaki Shin has pointed out Kawanishi, he doesn't think that the fate of that idiot will change because of his words.
As for why I told this to Genji, it was just a spur of the moment thought and there was no other meaning.
After saying that, Ryuzaki Shin no longer paid attention to the guy who was still retching on the ground. He turned around and walked into the door of Zhenlong Credit with Kirisawa Jin.
Genji covered his stomach and lay on the ground for a long time before struggling to get up.
He looked at the closed glass door, his eyes filled with reluctance and struggle.
In the end, he clenched his fists, staggered, and turned away.
"Ryuzaki Makoto, I'll come again..."
"Father, I will definitely prove myself!"
If Ryuzaki really heard these words, he would be completely speechless.
It is really difficult to change a person's destiny.
…
Inside the Zhenlong Credit office, Sasaki Yu was standing in front of a huge city planning map, holding a red and blue pen in his hand, circling and drawing on it, and muttering to himself.
When he saw Ryuzaki Shin come in, his eyes lit up, and he quickly put down the pen in his hand and walked over to him quickly.
"Brother Zhen, you're here!"
Then, he jumped down from the large boss chair very naturally and made room for him.
Ryuzaki Shin sat on it with a smile and patted Xiaoyou's shoulder.
"Xiaoyou, you're becoming more and more like a boss."
After all, Ryuzaki Shin rarely comes to this place, it is always used by Xiaoyou.
Sasaki Yu scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "It's all thanks to Shin-ge's good training."
"Okay, let's stop talking about these polite words and get down to business."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyou and Kirisawa Jin beside her instantly became serious.
Ryuzaki Shin looked at him and said, "Xiaoyou, you have been preparing for a while. Tell me about your next plan."
Sasaki Yu cleared his throat, walked to the huge map, pointed at the areas circled in red, and showed a confident smile on his face.
"I conducted a survey of the consumption habits and average spending levels of residents in the surrounding areas of these two blocks and have drawn up a preliminary commercial transformation plan."
"First, we will focus on catering and entertainment, introducing a number of distinctive and affordable izakayas, barbecue restaurants and karaoke bars to attract people."
"Then, we will gradually introduce retail formats such as clothing and accessories to transform this area into a comprehensive commercial district integrating food, drink, entertainment and recreation."
"As for attracting investment, I've already contacted several advertising companies and plan to conduct a month-long promotion in Toyaru City's newspapers and on radio stations..."
After listening to this, Ryuzaki Shin nodded with satisfaction.
This kid is really capable.
but...
It's not enough.
"Xiaoyou, most of your ideas are good."
"But we can't just be a landlord collecting rent."
He looked at Sasaki Yuu with a gleam of light.
"I say, you remember."
"First, all the shops on our block will be rent-free for the first three months."
Sasaki Yu's expression changed instantly, and he was about to open his mouth to refute.
Ryuzaki Shin waved his hand, signaling him to be patient.
"Rent-free, but we will take 10% of their profits as management fees."
Sasaki Yu thought about it and realized that when a store first started, one-tenth of the profit was definitely less than the rent, which was definitely a good deal for all shops.
Then Ryuzaki Shin continued.
"Secondly, these three months are a probation period."
"You need to set sales targets for each store based on its type. If they aren't achieved within three months, they'll be liquidated!"
"The Sakura economy is booming right now, so there's no shortage of businesses looking to move in."
"Finally, and most importantly," Long Qizhen's lips curled up in an extremely playful arc, "For those stores that meet performance standards and have potential, we... must forcibly acquire shares!"
"This way, we can control stores with potential. This is actually a form of cooperation. Then, when our territory expands, we can quickly replicate our own business model. I think you can understand what I am saying."
When Sasaki Yu heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted!
He instantly understood Long Qi's true intention!
Really, this is...
This is to use the lowest cost to screen out the most valuable "prey", and then use the most direct and brutal way to completely turn them into your own private property!
How the hell is this investment promotion?
This is clearly a bloodless war!
Sasaki Yu looked at Ryuzaki Makoto with full admiration!
As expected, he is a real brother!
This method is absolutely amazing!
"Brother Zhen, I understand!"
To put it bluntly, Long Qizhen actually borrowed the thinking mode of Xiao Ma Ge. Once a good company appears, he will either buy it or copy your business model and squeeze out your market. Capital pursues profits, that's all.
"Xiaoyou," Ryuzaki Shin seemed to remember something and said with a smile, "My wife has a relative named Uehara Nanako, who is a teacher at a university in Tokyo and also studies finance. I see that you have been under too much pressure recently, so I asked her to resign and come over to be your deputy."
"Fourteen salaries a year, a base salary of 1.5 million, bonuses are calculated separately, and raises are made every six months."
"You draw up a contract tonight and she'll come over to sign it tomorrow."
When Sasaki Yu heard this, he was not displeased at all, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Long Qi was right. He had been really overwhelmed recently. Even finding talents in the market took time. Now he was eager to have someone to help him.
"Great! Brother Zhen! I was just worried about not having enough manpower!"
After arranging all this, Ryuzaki Shin slowly stood up.
"That's it."
He said to Kirisawa Jin, "Senior, the 500 million cash should have arrived, right? Take me to see it."
Jin Kirisawa nodded and took him into a heavily guarded darkroom in the basement.
Looking at the mountain of cash, Ryuzaki nodded. Ajiutsu was a man of great efficiency, if nothing else.
"You should know that my home is in Songfengtai. I'll send 10 million to my house and give it to my woman."
Ryuzaki really didn't know how much money Asuka had left, but no matter what, Matsukaze was his home, and regularly depositing a sum of money home was also a guarantee for his life in the rear.
I was originally thinking of buying a car, but after thinking about it, Long Qizhen decided to forget it. There was no rush for it, and now was the time when I needed the money.
"This amount of money may seem like a lot, but in reality, it may not be enough to spend."
"I trust you, but money must be spent wisely!"
"You must hurry up and train your brothers. I'll be of great use later!"
Kirisawa Jin nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, boss!"
"Today, the other two have taken those brats to the suburbs for a training session. I promise you won't be disappointed!"
"Then we'll teach them fighting techniques, and we'll use the best ones as our sharp weapons. Boss, just wait and see. If you're not satisfied by then, we old guys will rip your heads off."
Ryuzaki Shin shook his head and patted Kirisawa Jin.
"Senior, you're too kind. I believe you. By the way, tell me the hospital where Serizawa and the others are staying. I'll go see them."
Kirisawa Jin gave an address, Ryuzaki Shin nodded, and then he left Black Crow Town, got on his motorcycle, and drove towards the hospital...
Huyaliu City First Hospital.
The strong smell of disinfectant mixed with the scent of plaster filled the ward.
There were seven or eight beds in this ward, and Serizawa Tamao and his group were lying on them in a haphazard manner.
Some had plaster on their arms, some had bandages on their heads, and a few unlucky ones were hooked to IV drips, their faces as pale as paper.
"Fuck! Fengxian, those ungrateful bald guys!"
Serizawa Tamao, with his panda eyes, was the first to break the oppressive silence. He suddenly sat up from the bed, pulling the wound at the corner of his mouth, causing him to grimace in pain, but he still cursed stubbornly:
"They specifically chose to attack us when we were drunk! They were all so drunk that they couldn't see clearly, so how could they fight? Otherwise, I could take them all down by myself!"
Yuji Tokaji leaned against the head of the bed. He was more seriously injured than Serizawa. One of his legs was covered in thick plaster and hung high.
He pushed the cracked glasses on his nose, his voice hoarse and regretful.
"We were careless."
"I actually had a feeling that Fengxian's gang would make a move, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly and strike so ruthlessly."
"Once we're healed, we'll definitely lead our men over and crush Fengxian to the ground!" Zhongtai lay on the bed opposite, one arm in a cast, the other still waving his fist in the air, his face filled with resentment. "Let them know that we, Linglan, are not to be trifled with!"
Izaki Shun didn't say anything. He just leaned quietly against the wall, looking at this group of people who were still making excuses for their failure and clamoring for revenge.
He cast his gaze towards the three figures in the corner of the ward who had remained silent from beginning to end.
It's the Ebizuka trio.
At this moment, these three were like three defeated roosters, with their heads lowered and not saying a word.
"You three, why aren't you talking?" Izaki Shun said slowly, "What do you have in mind?"
The leader, Hiromi Kirishima, slowly raised his head.
His face, at this moment, was filled with guilt.
"We just... feel a little sorry for the boss."
Izaki Shun raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
"Brother Zhen said we'd take over the entire southern part of the city within a month, and we've barely begun, and we've already been rushed to the hospital." Sugihara Makoto's voice was a little hoarse. "Before, whether it was Black Crow Town or Jinyi Ichibangai, we didn't actually contribute much. Now, just as we were about to start a big fight, we run into this..."
Honjo Toshiaki also nodded. He looked at his plastered hand, his voice full of reluctance.
"To put it bluntly, it was our own carelessness. The boss treated us so well, but we couldn't even handle such a small matter. It feels...it feels like the boss's money is too hot to handle."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire ward fell into dead silence.
Serizawa's face, which was originally filled with anger, froze.
Tokaji and Chuta also lowered their heads and stopped talking.
yes...
The boss has given them so much, but what have they done for him?
Izaki Shun looked at the expressions of the crowd and sighed for no reason in his heart.
He knew that although the words of the three Ebizuka guys were harsh, they hit the nail on the head and expressed the shame in everyone's heart.
At this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open.
A tall man wearing a simple white shirt walked in slowly from outside.
"Boss!"
"Brother Zhen!"
Everyone, including the wounded who were still groaning, saw the newcomer as if they had seen a savior!
They struggled and tried to get out of bed!
Ryuzaki Shin waved his hand casually, a playful smile on his face, and there was no trace of blame in his deep eyes.
"Alright, you're all my confidants, so stop playing these empty games with me."
"Every one of you looks like a cripple. Just lie down and be well."
As he spoke, he pulled over a chair, sat down with his arms and legs stretched out, and smiled.
"As for Fengxian, I've already made an agreement with their boss today. I can go and get my revenge myself tomorrow."
Although Ryuzaki Shin said it lightly, everyone was shocked when they heard it.
Izaki Shun said immediately.
"Boss, are you going to go alone?"
Tokaji said as he forced himself to straighten up.
"Boss, how can we go to fight Fengxian without us? My injury will definitely be healed by tomorrow."
Serizawa Tamao instantly became energetic!
He slapped his strong chest violently, which caused internal injuries. With a "puff" sound, he started coughing violently!
But he still held on, and said in a muffled voice:
"Boss! What's this little injury?! If everyone hadn't been drunk that night and their fighting strength was only one tenth of what it was, Fengxian's group of brats would be nothing!"
"If you take us to kill Fengxian now, I, Serizawa Tamao, will be the first to rush in!"
"Yes! Boss! Fuck Fengxian!"
"We'll go with you!"
The others also started howling, as if the pain in their bodies had disappeared without a trace at that moment.
Ryuzaki Shin listened to the noisy shouting and said nothing.
He just stood up slowly, walked to the window, pushed open the tightly closed window, and let the cool breeze from outside blow in.
Then he took out a cigarette box from his pocket, slowly lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
The green smoke rose up under the dim light.
It covered up the disappointment that flashed across his face.
"Fengxian..."
His voice was tired.
"Is it so important to you?"
"…"
The entire ward fell into silence again.
Everyone felt the disappointment in the boss's tone.
They looked at the back of the person standing in front of the window, and their hearts, which were originally full of enthusiasm, gradually cooled down at this moment.
Long Qizhen didn't look back, he just quietly looked at the bustling city outside the window.
"Do you remember what I said when I led you out of the lily of the valley?"
"I told you I would take you to see the scenery at the top."
"I'm not asking you to continue wallowing in the mud for some ridiculous reputation, just like before."
His voice was still so calm, but every word he spoke was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard!
"I don't blame you for being injured in the sneak attack."
"Life always has some surprises."
"However, I am very disappointed with your current situation."
"Your enthusiasm and your vision are still stuck on those ridiculous fights in school."
"In my eyes, you haven't grown up."
He flicked the cigarette butt in his hand away.
The scarlet flames drew an arc in the air and went out in an instant.
"The True Dragon Society's pace will not stop, and we will not stop to wait for anyone's growth."
"Life is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will move backward."
"You should understand this."
After he finished speaking, he slowly turned around.
The original calmness has returned to those deep eyes.
He walked to Serizawa Tamao's bed and threw his box of Seven Stars cigarettes, of which he had only smoked one, next to his pillow.
"Finish it up, don't waste it."
Then, without saying another word, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Just as he was about to push open the door, he stopped but did not look back.
"Tomorrow, I will go alone to deal with Fengxian's matter."
"I don't need you to worry about me."
"What I want is for you to recover well from your injuries."
"Then, use your awakened brains to think carefully about your future path."
"What should your mentality be like?"
"The True Dragon Society will soon face new challenges."
"This challenge is greater than any we have faced before."
"By then, the True Dragon Society will face another reshuffle."
"How many of you can still stand where you are now..."
He paused, and the corner of his mouth curled up in an extremely playful arc.
"It all depends on your own awareness."
Bang.
The door was closed gently.
Ryuzaki Shin's tall figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Yes, Long Qizhen came here to order them, and he had indeed been tolerant enough towards his subordinates before.
But their mentality is still at the student stage.
Ryuzaki really won't wait for anyone to grow up. If you can't catch this train, then get off.
Life doesn't give you that many opportunities.
…
There was deathly silence in the ward.
Everyone was completely stunned by Ryuzaki Shin's words.
They looked at the closed door and felt their minds were in a complicated state.
I don't know how long it took.
A burst of suppressed sobbing suddenly sounded in the silent ward.
Everyone subconsciously looked back and saw that Tamura Chuta had buried his head deeply in the pillow without knowing when, and his not-so-broad shoulders were shaking violently and uncontrollably.
Chuta is just like that, he can't suppress his emotions.
In fact, it's not just him.
Everyone present at this moment felt as if their hearts had been overturned with all five flavors, a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy.
Because everyone knows that what Ryuzaki said is true.
Brother Zhen gave everyone generous treatment, but what did everyone do and what did they achieve?
To put it bluntly, these times I was just following Brother Zhen to pick up the fruits of victory.
Tokaji Yuji sighed, walked up and patted Chuta's shoulder heavily.
At this moment, Izaki Shun's cold voice slowly sounded.
"Okay, stop acting like your mother is dead."
He looked at everyone and shouted!
"Boss said these things not because he wanted to see you look like this!"
"He's right! We really should wake up!"
"Have you forgotten that we now have three Dragon Generals, all of whom are from outsiders?"
"What about next time?"
"Are we going to be suppressed by outsiders?!"
"The True Dragon Society, not our Linglan's True Dragon Society!"
"It's the boss's True Dragon Society!"
"If we don't show some real skills, sooner or later, we will be eliminated!"
Izaki Shun's words were like a wake-up call, instantly waking up everyone present!
Life is just like what Zhen Ge said, no one will wait for you forever...
…
In the evening, six o'clock.
After dealing with these trivial matters, Ryuzaki Shin rode his Harley back to Songfengtai.
He pushed open the door, and a warm scent mixed with a woman's body fragrance instantly hit him in the face, completely isolating himself from the cold night outside the door.
In the living room, Nanako was hugging a pillow, watching TV intently, and didn't even notice that he came back.
Long Qi really didn't know why, but every time he returned home, he always felt that all his worries had faded a lot.
Seeing that Nanako was the only one in the living room, I wanted to tease her and see what she was looking at so intently.
He walked quietly and lightly to the back of the sofa.
A classic Japanese horror movie was playing on TV.
In a dim room with flickering candlelight, a woman with long hair in white clothes is facing away from the camera, slowly combing her hair.
Sudden!
The music became incredibly weird and sharp!
The wardrobe door behind the woman slowly opened...
A hand so pale without a trace of blood suddenly stretched out from the bottomless darkness!
He covered the woman's eyes tightly!
"ah--!"
Nanako was frightened by this sudden and horrifying scene and screamed, subconsciously shrinking her body deeper into the corner of the sofa!
However, at this moment!
She felt a pair of large hands behind her, covering her eyes without any warning...
