Chapter 90: Organizing Rumors

The rumor that the leader was cuckolded could not be allowed to spread freely in the organization. Under Mori Ogai's suggestion, the rumor was suppressed and went in another direction. It came from people who had seen Ace in the leader's office and happened to know Ace's name.

"He often appears in the chief's office, so he must have a close relationship with the chief."

"I saw him last time when I was delivering documents for the Colonel. He was sitting there playing with Miss Alice! You all know Miss Alice, right? She is the leader's favorite girl! The leader lets him play with Miss Alice, so how can he not treat him as a family member? The last person to play with Miss Alice was Mr. Dazai!"

"And don't you think his name sounds like Miss Alice?"

"Speaking of which, I thought that man gave the leader a crown, uh, that one, wasn't it because he thought that the two of them looked like a family when they walked together?"

"And I saw Miss Alice sitting on his neck!"

"Hmm... maybe they are all the leader's family?"

"So... is he Miss Alice's brother?"

"I feel like there's such a huge age gap..."

"Maybe it's just that boys grow up faster, and Mr. Ace is actually not that old?"

…

Anyway, the final rumor was that Ace was his eldest son.

Anyway, when he came online the next day, Dazai Osamu rushed over to laugh at him.

"Mr. Mori, I heard that you were cuckolded?"

Mori Owl: "..."

Dazai Osamu continued to smile: "Oh no, the latest version is... Congratulations to Mr. Mori for having a son and a daughter."

Mori Ou smiled but said, "Dazai-kun, I thought you came to my office specifically to discuss something important."

"Of course there is." Dazai Osamu put away his playful smile and said coldly, "Do you still remember the account that appeared in the Aoi no Ou incident, whose IP could not be found and could not be restored after being deleted, Mr. Mori?"

Mori Ouwai paused for a moment, then responded, "You mean, the person who used the 500 billion inheritance as an excuse to disrupt the waters in Yokohama this time is the same person as last time?"

They have discovered through the inconsistency of the inheritance that this fight is being manipulated by someone. Dazai Osamu mentioned that the King of the Clouds was also behind the scenes causing trouble but no one could be found. Mori Ogai naturally thought of this person who had the same purpose.

"I checked Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's movements and the places he stayed. Shibuzawa Ryuhiko should have been an official from the beginning, but later he escaped from the control of the Special Powers Division, which expanded and prolonged the chaos in Yokohama. And his actions after he left the Special Powers Division were guided by someone."

"Oh?" Sen Ouwai's gaze focused and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"The other party was very cautious and did not contact Shibuzawa Ryuhiko directly. Instead, they influenced Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's actions through contact with other organizations, hiding themselves almost perfectly under the surface." Dazai Osamu sneered, "Although there is no evidence left, if Mr. Mori had gone to see it, he would have been able to see the traces of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko being led."

Mori Ogai's fingers tapped on the desk regularly, then suddenly stopped and asked, "Since there is no evidence, why do you think the person behind this is the same person as the one in the Cang Zhi Wang incident?"

"The methods are almost the same. The rest is just a bit of intuition." Dazai Osamu raised his eyes gently, "And last time the Special Forces took someone away from us, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko escaped not long after. How could they have done it in such a short time without an insider? Unless the Special Forces are so rubbish that they can be regarded as a joke."

Regarding this point, Mori Yugai himself actually had some guesses. The existence of the Special Powers Department itself is to manage people with special abilities. Even if Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's ability is so special, it is impossible to let him escape in such a short time.

Moreover, he later called Taneda Santouko to ask him what was going on. The guy argued with him to the extreme and spoke very politely, even showing some weakness about the fact that Shibuzawa Ryuhiko ran out and attacked them again. However, he did not mention how he ran away. The implication of his words was that he had no information to share.

But what's the difference between this and just telling him the answer?

But this is enough for us to investigate this person. The clues left by him are too few. If we spend more effort to track him down, the cost will be greater than the benefit. They are the mafia. It is the government's job to track down such a person regardless of the cost.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Just let the intelligence department keep an eye on it. We can relax a little bit now, since the leader of the Yokohama underworld has been decided."

Dazai Osamu sneered: "Oh, a dragon battle?"

Sen Ou said cheerfully, "If you want to call me that, it's not impossible."

…

The scheduled staff meeting had already been postponed once due to the colonel's injury, and it would not be appropriate to postpone it for another two weeks, so Mori Ougai had no choice but to hold the meeting with his broken teeth.

The meeting mainly covered several issues: first, the various departments handling various post-war affairs arrangements; second, the arrangements for the casualties; third, the distribution of rewards and punishments and promotions in this war; fourth, the repair and reconstruction of some commercial and functional buildings destroyed in the war; fifth, the celebration party for the entire organization next week, as well as some other miscellaneous matters.

The only thing that Mori Ogai had to personally preside over during the meeting was the promotion of a quasi-ministerial level official, which Mori Ogai had already chosen as the candidate. So far, he has been qualified for this position in terms of achievements, strength, and reputation. In addition, Mori Ogai had specially asked the colonel to guide him during this period, so he could get started quickly on the job.

He wanted to let Dazai Osamu take the position of cadre directly, after all, there were still two vacancies among the five cadre positions. Dazai Osamu's wisdom and strategy were enough for him to take the position of cadre, the only problem was that his qualifications were too shallow and his achievements were not enough, so Mori Osamu could only be put aside for the time being.

The person who was the happiest about this matter was Nakahara Chuuya. It was not because of the promotion, but mainly because Dazai Osamu had always been ordering him around by relying on his higher status than him. Every time he wanted to refuse, he would use his status to suppress him, which was very annoying.

Now that everyone has the same status, Dazai Osamu can’t call him back, haha!

…

Ever since Ace got inspiration from Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's supernatural power and created a body for himself, every time it was Moriogai's turn to go online, he would create a body to take a break.

Ace has to handle work when Mori Ou is not online. When he is busy, he will even pull Ace to work with him when he is online. Now that he is not so busy, Ace likes to mess around everywhere.

The car that I bought with Nakahara Chuuya last time has been picked up and is parked in the underground parking lot of the Port Building.

When the newly promoted quasi-cadre received a call from Ace asking him to go out for a test drive, the call was from Ozaki Koi. Because he had never needed any private calls before, Ace used all the phones except Morio. This time, when someone suddenly needed to contact him privately, he realized that he had no contact tools.

After hanging up the phone, Ozaki Kouye took back her phone, chuckled and asked, "Do you need me to buy you a new phone? This is quite inconvenient, isn't it?"

"Well, there's still money on the card that Mr. Ogai gave me. I just happened to have an appointment with Chuuya to go test drive the car together later, so I might as well buy a phone while I'm at it." Ace replied energetically, "Then I'll go down first!"

"Wait." Just as Ace turned around and was about to leave, Ozaki Koyo called him, then called his subordinate and whispered a few words to him. After a while, the subordinate brought a set of clothes folded in a packaging bag.

"Put this on before you go."

Ace looked confused.

Ozaki Kouyo explained calmly: "If you go out like this, people will think you are a gangster."

She had already discovered that Ace had been shirtless ever since he appeared in the Port Mafia in this image, and the tattoo on his back was very symbolic. It was okay within the Port Mafia, but it was inevitable that there would be inconveniences when he went out.

The new version of the rumor among the port mafia has become "the leader's eldest son went out to be a pirate and came back."

"Oh! I understand that! Well, but if I put on a shirt it will cover the logo on my back." Ace said something unexpected. After all, Mori Ougai had said something similar before, but he had never stopped himself from showing his back since he had sculpted his body.

Ozaki Kouyo: “…”

That sign is the reason for the trouble.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Does it have any special meaning to you?"

Ace was stuck for a moment. Mori Ou Wai had warned him not to reveal his true origins to anyone, not even Mori Ou Wai himself, when Mori Ou Wai was online. He thought about it and could only say vaguely and concisely: "Well, yes."

Seeing this, Ozaki Kouyo did not ask further, "Since it has a special meaning, you should treasure it. I will take you to buy some more clothes some other day."

"Oh... OK." Ace nodded somewhat depressedly. He didn't really want to show the logo on his back, he just wanted to show it because he was proud of the Whitebeard Pirates. If it wasn't allowed here, he wouldn't force it. "Then I'll go down?"

"Um."

Ozaki Kouyo couldn't help but laugh as she watched him regain his composure before leaving the house.

If she had thought that this was a second personality besides Mori Gu before, now she felt that it was not the case. At least she didn't think that the former Dr. Mori would have any idea of ​​becoming a pirate. He joined the Port Mafia just for the position of leader.

He is a child whose mentality is younger than his appearance.
