The next day at noon, after Duanmu Ci and Wei Yue picked up Yan Zhigui and the others at Narita Airport in Tokyo, they asked for leave, saying that they had already conducted their visit to the University of Tokyo separately and did not need to go again. In short, their words were sincere and their attitude was firm, so Yan Zhigui had no choice but to approve the leave.

Then they arrived in Kobe.

Before coming to Kobe, Hai first visited the Ina-sa Association, headquartered in Tokyo.

...

...

The Inajukai is one of the three major violent gangs designated by Japan. It is a large gang organization founded in 1972. Although it is not as old as the Yamahi-gumi, the Inajukai rose to prominence very quickly. In just two or three decades, it grew into a violent gang that could rival the Yamahi-gumi, and it has a presence all over the world.

As the saying goes, "two tigers cannot share one mountain," let alone a mountain as small as Japan.

The 2008 financial crisis was a global event, and Japan, as one of the hardest-hit areas, was no exception. Under the financial crisis, the various economic sources of major Japanese yakuza groups were affected to varying degrees, including the Yamahi-gumi and Inajukai, the leading figures in this field, who suffered heavy losses.

Collecting protection money alone could not support such a large business, so they began to pay more attention to certain criminal industries, such as casinos.

Casinos, as a prevalent criminal industry, are naturally an area that every violent gang values ​​and develops. If the Yamahi-gumi made its fortune through docks, then the Inaju-kai can be said to have made its fortune through casinos. The first leader of the Inaju-kai, Inaju Seijo, was discovered in a casino by another boss, Tsuruoka Seijiro, who recognized his talent, and that's how he began to rise to power.

This demonstrates the deep-rooted connection and heavy reliance between the Inari Association and casinos.

Unfortunately, this "traditional industry" of the Inari Association has been declining in recent years, with the annual "tribute" to the headquarters decreasing. The culprit for this is the Yama-Nichi Group.

The Yama-ri Group's legitimate businesses were severely affected by the financial crisis, and with their profits suffering, they naturally wanted to make up for it in some way. Casinos, which could bring them a lot of money, became one of their key targets for expansion.

Since the Yama-Ri Group wants to "explore" in this field, then naturally there will be people who will be "exploited" in the same way.

And the target of this "expansion" was naturally Inajokai, the largest casino chain in Japan.

The rice harvest will be greatly affected!

The cake is only so big. If you eat a lot, I'll eat less. Who would want that?!

These days are tough, and we all understand that your Yama-ri Group wants to find more ways to make money. But the problem is, you're not the only one having difficulties! Do you think my life is any better? You have tens of thousands of underlings to support, but don't I have mine? You're doing your job properly at your dock, why are you trying to steal my thunder?

We all have two shoulders and one head. Anyone who dares to touch my cheese, I'll kill them!

Therefore, in the past two or three years, frictions between the Indo-Saka Association and the Yama-Ri Group have occurred frequently, and the intensity of the conflict has escalated. In the end, it almost turned into a brawl involving thousands of people. Hundreds of riot police blocked the streets and arrested more than a dozen high-ranking officials from both sides, who were imprisoned and sentenced to several years in prison.

Furthermore, both the Yamahi Group and the Inajokai received warnings from the Metropolitan Police Department afterward, admonishing them not to cause bloodshed or affect social stability, and most importantly, not to disturb the daily lives of ordinary citizens. Anyone who dared to violate these rules would be sent to prison to reflect on their actions!

While Japan's violent gangs are large and arrogant, it doesn't mean they can do whatever they want. If they dare to cross the line and anger the government and the Metropolitan Police Department, and are found to have committed a crime, they will be arrested in no time without any ambiguity.

In reality, no matter how large a violent gang is, there are records of its top leader being arrested. For example, the fifth and sixth leaders of the Yama-ri-gumi both angered the government and the Metropolitan Police Department by escalating their affairs, and were eventually sentenced to prison terms by the court.

Therefore, while Japanese violent gangs are rampant, they also carefully guard their bottom line. Moreover, the higher-ups do not directly intervene in any shady dealings. They usually entrust all the work to trusted confidants. This avoids the "tragedy" of the Metropolitan Police Department obtaining evidence directly and arresting a powerful figure.

This tactic has proven effective time and again.

However, this limits the scale of the fighting; minor skirmishes are simply not enough to cripple the opponent and resolve the fundamental conflict.

This left the leaders of the Rice Association in a dilemma and feeling helpless.

Fortunately, Duanmu Ci came to Tokyo.

He presented an opportunity, an opportunity to cripple the Yama-Ri group.

...

...

The third generation of the Inazakakai, Tsuruta Tsuna, was a superstitious man, so he lived in a shrine in Tokyo for many years.

In reality, someone of Tsuruta Tsuna's sordid background wouldn't even have the chance to be on Duanmu Ci and Wei Yue's social lists. The people they associated with were all respectable individuals... at least in terms of social standing. Therefore, they were quite hesitant about how to find a way to visit Tsuruta Tsuna.

Fortunately, Terashima Moriyoshi, Wei Yue's kendo teacher, did not have a curfew when he opened his dojo, and taught disciples from all walks of life, so he had quite a network of connections. After learning about their difficulties, Terashima Moriyoshi offered to introduce them, saying that he had a disciple from twenty years ago who now held a high position in the Inazaka Association. Duanmu Ci and his companion were naturally overjoyed.
