Chapter 128 There are bad guys in the Sheqi Eight Clan
There doesn't really need to be too many reasons as to why the fierce ghosts would target the envoys. They might just want to cause some trouble for the Eight Snake Clans.
After all, when the patriarch Tachibana Masamune was diligently leading the Snake Eight Families to regain their status as the main underworld family and break free from the control of the secret party, the fierce demons suddenly rose up and seized a large tract of territory from them.
And since then, the relationship between the fierce ghosts and the eight snake families has remained tense. Although there have been no major actions in the past two years, minor frictions have always existed.
Especially in the past two days, the Eight Clans of Sheqi have noticed their little moves.
However, attacking the other party's guests is an act that is very likely to tear the relationship between the two parties apart and lead to an irreconcilable relationship.
Inuyama He didn't know who made this decision, but he could imagine that the other person must not be too old.
These days, only young people still maintain the drive to challenge the authority of the Eight Snake Families. After all, too many people of the older generation live in fear of being dominated by their own family and dare not easily disrupt the current situation, which is barely stable.
But no matter what, they should not involve a third party, especially this unlucky third party is the God of Wealth of the Sheqi Eight Families.
At this point, Inuyama He did not hide much and told the story of the hostility and contradictions between the Eight Snake Families and the Menggui Clan, but he concealed some long-standing historical legacies and secrets hidden deep in their blood.
Lu Mingfei had already seen the things he talked about in the information found by Su Enxi, and even understood them in more detail.
Although it is known that the old man is hiding something, the intelligence capabilities of the Sheqi Eight Clan as the main family of the Japanese underworld seem to be a little bit below expectations in terms of performance.
Lu Mingfei, a gamer, knows that he needs to check the expansion packs in time for version updates and get used to the new version.
The Eight Snake Clans had been entangled with the fierce ghosts for so many years, and at one point they even suppressed the evil ghosts to the point where they were barely surviving, but they had not even figured out their internal structure and leadership team.
Not to mention others, it is one of the five major gangsters. The United States is the designated father of Japan and South Korea. It always boasts about democracy, freedom, respect for human rights and sovereignty of other countries, but it is also unambiguous when sending spies undercover to neighboring countries.
Not to mention that they have infiltrated other countries' government departments like a sieve, but at least their every move is well known.
The Eight Clans of Sheqi had already become vassals of the Secret Party back then. After being treated like dogs for so many years, it was impossible that they had not learned anything.
There is definitely something weird going on here.
Either someone is just trying to take advantage of the situation, or someone is deliberately concealing the truth, or someone is deliberately leading the intelligence agencies to investigate in the wrong direction.
Almost subconsciously, Lu Mingfei thought of a person whose behavior was very Japanese but whose bloodline was not that pure.
If one wants to distort the painting style of the entire Snake Eight Clans, there is only one person who can do it.
And coincidentally, the other party made Ling feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
I hope that when I go back later, the potato chip guy will have sorted out the information about the fake foot basin chicken. It would be best if he could find out what his underwear...loincloth is made of.
He asked in an almost straightforward and unsympathetic manner: "Since the Demon Clan is the second largest family in the Japanese underworld, don't you have undercover agents among them? Their people are already lurking around you, the head of the family. If they had chosen to poison us instead of assassinating us, we would have been doomed under the circumstances at that time."
Inuyama He said there is no need to worry about this, as cooking and serving are done in steps and there is supervision throughout the process, so the process is absolutely safe.
In response to this, Lu Mingfei could only say haha, the old man had better be careful when he sleeps tonight, it would be funny if his goddaughter who sleeps in the same bed with him poisons his mouth and he happens not to like wearing safety measures.
Inside Genji Heavy Industries, Minamoto no Chisei was discussing his considerations with the patriarch Tachibana Masamune at the Sakuraji Temple.
"Perhaps we should conduct a large-scale screening. The hybrids are a group that worships power and bloodline above all else. There are many people who, like the demons, dream of evolving into pure-blooded dragons.
Ryuzo Koyama may not be an isolated case. There may be others on the harmless white label list who are researching bloodline-enhancing genetic drugs like him."
Yuan Zhisheng knelt on the tatami, his back as straight as a knife: "It is precisely because their bloodline is too poor that the family's monitoring is relatively weaker than what he marked, which gives them an opportunity to take advantage of.
I think we need to conduct a sweep to identify all the half-bloods who are harboring evil intentions."
"I'm glad you've thought it through so carefully, but Zhisheng, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"
Tachibana Masamune held a cup of hot tea, and his weathered eyes sparkled in the smoke.
"It will cause unrest, but I think the consequences are still within an acceptable range." Yuan Zhisheng, who has just taken office as the executive director, still maintains the bravery of a young man. He was promoted step by step from a low-level law enforcement officer to this position by virtue of his courage to fight, work hard and do things.
Of course, he is not a reckless man who only knows how to use violence but not his brain. Mainly because he has an all-round father who gives him advice behind the scenes, so he has very little time to use his brain.
What's more, a thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole, and a minor illness left untreated can lead to a major disaster. If such an obvious flaw is caught by the fierce ghosts, the tragedy of Osaka's near total fall that year would be repeated.
"I know what you're thinking, but our family can't afford such a big turmoil for the time being." Tachibana Masamune took a sip of tea, a hint of solemnity on his face.
“When every child reaches the age of five, we will send them for a bloodline test to determine if they have the potential risk of losing control or even becoming a ghost in the future.
Those blood descendants who successfully passed the test were undoubtedly trustworthy members of the family.
However, at this special juncture, if we rashly launch a large-scale investigation on this group of people who have been determined to be safe and harmless, it will inevitably cause considerable chaos.
This level of chaos, if it happened on normal days, might still be within the controllable range and would not cause too much trouble.
But things are different now. Various forces are watching the family's every move, including the Ghost Clan, Susan, the Secret Party, Kassel College, and some other partners.
Over the years, due to the rigorous process of bloodline testing, countless families have lost their beloved children, and countless children have lost their freedom and become victims of the family system.
Now, if it is reported that those people who have passed the test and are considered safe actually have hidden dangers, or even secretly engage in the same behavior as the ghosts...
Even the biggest waves are formed by the gradual convergence of tiny waves.
Once someone with ulterior motives deliberately stirs up trouble behind the scenes, this seemingly minor disturbance is likely to evolve into a crisis of trust within the family, and then shake the foundation of the entire family."
"Our investigation can be conducted in secret." Yuan Zhisheng felt that with today's technology and technical means, it was not difficult to monitor a person without anyone noticing.
Especially since they have Kaguya-hime, a powerful super-intelligent system, to assist them.
Unfortunately, his plan still failed to gain the approval of Tachibana Masamune. There were too many Japanese mixed-race people and they were widely distributed. It would be a huge project to check them one by one.
Some things don't weigh more than 10 ounces if they're not weighed, but if they are weighed, they can weigh more than 1,000 pounds.
The Japanese mixed-race people are a group that advocates violence, and the Kanto branch is home to a bunch of bad youths.
If we really look into it carefully, the crimes they committed are actually no less serious than those committed by Oyama Ryuzo, but their bloodline and combat power are strong enough, and they are loyal enough to the family.
Yuan Zhisheng was speechless after hearing this.
Perhaps the experience in the dream was too real, he had just forgotten that he was in a gang that was doing all kinds of evil, rather than a peaceful old French town without dragons and gangs.
On the terrace of the Awakening Temple, the atmosphere fell into a brief silence, but it was soon broken by the sound of high heels hitting the ground.
After greeting quietly and getting permission, Sakura quickly stepped forward and told everyone everything about the assassination of Batman in Tamamonomae, especially that the head of the Inuyama family speculated that this was done by the demons and hoped that the intelligence department would assist in the investigation.
After listening to Sakura's report, Gen Chisei had to admit that what Tachibana Masamune said made sense. Now was a turbulent time and he shouldn't panic.
"Go ahead, I'm sure you can handle it."
Tachibana Masamune raised his glass to bid farewell, then sat quietly on the terrace, gazing at the crescent moon in the sky, muttering to himself:
"The child has grown up and suddenly became rebellious."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Under the cover of night, the old man drinks alone facing the moon, just like an old father worrying about his children.
On the other side, Lu Mingfei and the other two had finished their dinner with the head of the Inuyama family. Because of the assassination, no one was in the mood to clink glasses and chat.
Old Tang, this thick-skinned guy, has to prepare himself mentally every time before picking up his chopsticks. After eating, he closes his eyes tightly, like a savior who is flying an aerospace fighter plane straight into the enemy's nest and shouting loudly, "Fire at me."
"I'm really sorry for the poor reception tonight." Inuyama He saw them to the door. Beside him were his deputy Hasegawa Yoshitaka and the Beautiful Girls Group, who were all bowing to see them off.
"We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."
“We’ll see.”
After saying the polite words, Lu Mingfei and the other two turned around and left. Although they had just experienced an assassination attempt, they were not in a hurry to leave and stayed inside the hotel.
Lu Mingfei had said before that he would take Lao Tang to Akihabara, but he hasn't had the free time yet. Right now, Ginza is far more prosperous than that electronics street with an extremely high concentration of second-year high school students, so he might as well just walk around nearby to digest the food.
Inuyama He did not comment on this, but only arranged a few burly and strong bodyguards for the group of three, the kind that could be seen at first glance as being able to knock Arnold over with one hand.
Ps: It’s not the one with a pointy head.
Ginza has a bustling commercial street, which is several levels higher than the CBD in Lu Mingfei's hometown. The three maverick guys with bodyguards immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.
Although they wore sunglasses and Kamen Rider helmets late at night, anyone with a keen eye could tell that they were protected species that could only be admired from a distance, so even though Zero was as pretty as a princess, no one dared to approach her.
“Old Tang, feel free to pick whatever you like. Our reimbursement limit is very generous.” Lu Mingfei nudged Old Tang with his elbow. This guy lives in New York, USA, and has been to New York's Fifth Avenue, which is known as one of the three most prosperous centers in the world along with Ginza.
But to be honest, he had never seen so many tempting scenes. The cat-ear maid hotel, the schoolgirl poster girl, the bunny girl-themed izakaya, all of these were a feast for his eyes.
Although the United States is open, there are not so many options to choose from.
If there wasn't a zero next to it, he really wanted to go in and experience the characteristics of Japanese culture.
Well, I’m talking about the special heart-shaped omelette rice at the maid restaurant.
Lu Mingfei saw this, although he wanted to help his brother, the assassination just now was still vivid in his mind. He was afraid that when Old Tang went in and the maid drew a heart on the omelette rice, what came out of the bottle was not salad dressing or ketchup, but potassium cyanide sauce with a bitter almond smell.
The three of them attracted hatred in the business circle, but no more killers came to their door. After receiving the news, Jude Mai, who was hiding in the dark, could not find the sniper.
"Is that all?" Lu Mingfei muttered, and found a toy store not far ahead, with many cute dolls.
He walked closer and looked inside, and at a glance he saw rows of little yellow ducks directly above the door and two bears hanging on the wall.
Old Tang noticed his movements, followed him to take a look, and then pointed at one of the big-headed bear dolls and said, "Hey, does that look like your avatar?"
“Not even three percent as handsome as me.” Lu Mingfei chuckled and walked up to the shop assistant, asking her to take down the two exquisitely crafted little bears.
Zero just followed the two of them silently, his eyes hidden under the veil of his hat quietly staring at those exquisite toys, wondering if Zoro would be lonely lying alone on the big bed in the hotel.
The next second, a teddy bear almost half the size of her body was stuffed into her arms. It was a gentleman bear wearing a black top hat, a bow tie, a suit and a shirt, with the corners of his mouth raised as if he was smirking.
Kind of like that guy.
She raised her head slightly, looked at the young man with a gentle smile, and heard him say:
"A little gift for you. I remember you liked this."
Ling looked at him quietly. The other person's smile was refreshing, like an older brother next door who came back from studying abroad and brought a gift to the neighbor's child.
"Thank you." She said softly, and then hugged the bear that had just left the packaging bag and returned to the human girl's arms. She looked a little more childish, which matched her appearance.
"Where's mine? Where's mine?" Seeing this, Old Tang stared at the other bear in Lu Mingfei's hand.
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei picked up a Godzilla mask from the shelf next to him and handed it to Lao Tang, indicating that he should make do with it.
"Go away, who wants to be a monster? I am the righteous Dr. Indiana Jones." Old Tang snorted and slapped off the Godzilla mask. He turned around and picked up an Ultraman mask and put it on his face, saying that this was in line with his painting style.
Lu Mingfei shrugged and paid for the Godzilla mask and Ultraman mask together.
"Let's go back."
