Chapter 82
According to Yiye Yihe, this cunning little mouse was trying to completely ensnare him.
Every low laugh of Fyodor, every syllable he uttered, every breath he exhaled during a high fever, even the pale fingertips pressing against the faint scars on his forearm.
There are also proactive assistance, compromises made to the target of contact, and unwavering protection during crises.
All of this made his gaze linger on the other person, even drawing his mind to them.
Although Fukuchi Sakura's vampire incident failed so badly that she didn't get any revival points, Fyodor gave Kyogoku Natsuhiko 150 points back this time.
Apart from that, Fyodor did nothing else to displease him—and if we analyze it more rigorously, even the incident with Fukuchi Sakura wasn't Fyodor deliberately going against him.
Fyodor had no idea he needed to earn resurrection points.
Even so, after keenly sensing the subtle change in his attitude, Fyodor did not complain even a little, but instead chose to give in to him even more.
The person originally planned to meet in Japan, Tatsuhiko Shibusawa, a "Special Dangerous Ability User," has not yet made a single attempt to contact him, simply because he feels that Shibusawa might get angry.
Ye Yihe didn't know how to evaluate these methods—assuming they were one of the ways to deliberately win his favor, Ye Yihe had to admit that they were so successful that he had to admit he couldn't bring himself to dislike Fyodor.
Okay, it's even closer than "not disliked".
This feeling was different from the feelings I had when I was with her, with Oda Sakunosuke, or even with the other people in Koro; it was a more naive and unfamiliar heartbeat.
Lying on a chair on the terrace, basking in the sun, Ye Yihe silently clenched his right hand at the front of his shirt, his eyes reflecting the boundless, clear blue sky.
The time he spent recuperating was quite leisurely. Apart from Ivan, there was no one else in the small building, which gave Ye Yihe more time to think.
For example... Fyodor.
Aside from the inexplicable attraction Fyodor exuded towards him, there was also his ideal that seemed to defy the entire world—Yeh believed that the other party had not, and would never, give up.
Otherwise, Fyodor wouldn't be Fyodor—he still remembered the calmness Fyodor had when he first told him about the plan under the light yet magnificent Northern Aurora.
Calm, yet insane.
Even though there are indeed many crazy ideas in this world, such as school explosions, company fires, meteorites hitting the earth, etc., these are just fantasies to soothe one's emotions, a kind of comforting self-entertainment, and very few people would actually take action to realize them.
But at that very moment, Fyodor, in the most rational and devout tone, told Yeikh that he would eliminate all the superhumans in the world and completely liberate the world from [sin].
Even if someone else had the idea of destroying the world, Ye Yihe didn't think they could succeed.
But it was Fyodor who said those words, and he was exceptionally intelligent.
Even now, Ye Yihe still can't figure out how the pawns he planted in the Blessed Land of Cherry Blossoms will act.
On the other hand, could the success of this plan to stop Fyodor be the last event that allows him to accumulate enough resurrection points?
After so many resurrection point events, Ye Yihe gradually formed a guess in his mind.
The more successfully he can interfere with events that would otherwise reach a certain future point, the more resurrection points the system will issue.
vice versa.
Ye Yihe, his right hand loosening his collar, boldly speculated that perhaps in that future point in time, Fyodor's ideal—
It has been achieved.
…………
As the season gradually warms up, the temperature becomes comfortable when the warm sun hangs in the sky, and even a cool breeze brushing against your cheeks only brings a sense of pleasantness.
However, after the wind blew down the mountain, when it blew through Takase Hayato's house again, it made him so cold that he felt his hair stand on end and almost shivered.
"Why...why did you do this?"
When Takase Hayato woke up in the middle of the night to find a gun pointed at his forehead, he managed to remain calm and still, relying entirely on the fear that the other party would misunderstand him as trying to resist and take him down with a single shot.
Aren't you afraid of being labeled as a rebel?
"Don't be nervous. This gun is just a tool to help you speak to me calmly, the eldest son of the Fifth Boss, Lord Takase Hayato."
In the unlit room, Dazai Osamu sat in a chair with a smile on his face, but his words were cold and devoid of warmth; his dark, hawk-like eyes merely glanced at Takase Hayato, and Takase fell silent.
"Of course, if you don't intend to talk to me calmly, I also have ways to make you calm forever."
Oda Sakunosuke, who was in charge of threatening Takase Hayato with a gun, paused for a moment.
In a daze, I felt that this scene... seemed familiar.
Compared to the experienced Oda Sakunosuke, Takase Hayato, who was experiencing this for the first time, found it difficult to understand why this scene was happening to him.
“Aren’t you one of Da Cheng’s people? The old man likes you to death, and Da Cheng has regained importance because of you,” he took a deep breath. “I don’t think I can even pose any threat to you.”
If the status quo is maintained, the position of "Wakagami," whose power is second only to the Fifth Generation, will eventually belong to this new executive.
"Oh? Aren't you angry?"
Dazai Osamu had no interest in the position that was no different from being the organization's "second-in-command." Instead, he raised his hand and extended an invitation to him, his words carrying an unmistakable seduction.
"It's ridiculous and shameless that a mere second son can become a leader by recommending newcomers..." and so on.
"If it were me, I would be very angry."
Dazai Osamu's words silenced Takase Hayato.
He was naturally dissatisfied with Takase Taisei's smugness and the ambition the other party displayed—he wanted to defeat him with the help of Dazai Osamu and ascend to the throne of the Sixth Generation.
What's so great about defeating him with the help of outsiders!
Takase Hayato was furious upon receiving the news.
Besides, if he were to become the sixth generation, wouldn't he treat Dazai Osamu as an honored guest?
That guy definitely said something bad about him to the old man in private!
But late at night, the other party suddenly and secretly came to the door... even if the way they spoke was a bit rough...
Hayato Takase suddenly realized, "You're planning to switch your allegiance to me?"
"To be precise, it's to remind you."
Half of his face was hidden in the darkness where the moonlight couldn't reach, making the smile on Dazai Osamu's lips even more obvious and dangerous.
“I learned from Takase Taisei that the Fifth Generation still intends to pass the position of Sixth Generation to you,” he said in a calm voice, but his words caused Takase Hayato’s emotions to fluctuate violently.
"Therefore, he intends to seize the initiative and kill you and your supporters tonight."
The eldest and second sons of the Takase-kai, Takase Hayato and Takase Taisei, have both demonstrated exceptional abilities in managing affairs. As a result, although there have been few voices within the organization debating who should inherit the position of the sixth generation leader, the debate has never ceased over the years.
Their respective influence within the Takase-kai also rose and fell like the tides. Until some time before Dazai Osamu appeared, Takase Hayato's newly established drug and arms trafficking routes greatly increased the organization's profits, and his reputation also rose significantly.
Taking this opportunity, he banished Takase Daisei, whom he had always disliked, to a casino, thinking that when he saw him again, it would be the time when he became the sixth generation.
The old man's health is poor; the doctor said he has only two years left.
As for Takase Taisei, although he was extremely wary, they were blood relatives on the surface, and if anything happened to him, his reputation would be damaged.
It would be better to exile him first, and then take action slowly after things have settled down.
That was exactly what Takase Hayato had planned. When he heard that Takase Taisei intended to take advantage of this opportunity to rise again and kill him in one blow, he immediately believed it.
"That bastard, how dare he—"
Before the angry growl could be fully uttered, Dazai Osamu raised his hand to stop him. "I didn't come here to listen to your shouting." — His cold words immediately made Takase Hayato wisely choose to shut up.
"Takase Taisei's plan is to take place at 2:00 AM. You still have time to prepare, Lord Takase Hayato."
Dazai Osamu smiled softly and offered him another approach.
"Or, strike first."
This suggestion immediately made Takase Hayato's eyes light up.
"Thank you so much for your advice," he said sincerely. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"if you can,"
Dazai Osamu's smile widened.
"In order to eliminate any danger for you more thoroughly, we hope to obtain a list of politicians who have had dealings with Takase Taisei."
Upon seeing Dazai and Oda emerge, Chuuya, who was guarding the door, raised an eyebrow, clearly feeling extremely bored at being assigned another task without any fighting.
"result?"
Dazai's scheming is indeed meticulous, and achieving his goals with minimal effort is also good... but for him, it just means he's always doing errands and keeping watch.
I haven't kicked anyone in ages, I'm itching to do it.
"Just like with Takase Taisei, everything went very smoothly."
Dazai Osamu covered his mouth and yawned, while Oda Sakunosuke, half a step behind, held the newly arrived file bag in his hand.
How could two people who have been rivals for years not collect information and intelligence on each other?
It's difficult to get them to willingly reveal their profit chains, but if you just get them to give each other what they have, things become exceptionally simple.
Having witnessed Dazai Osamu's previous display of ability, both of them were afraid that their information was not detailed enough, so they even included names like "suspected" in the list.
“Now we have the list of politicians who have dealings with the Takase Association,” Dazai Osamu said.
Compared to the aging fifth generation head, the business of the [Takase-kai] is now handled separately by Takase Hayato and Takase Taisei, so it is enough to start with them.
Dazai Osamu's words to Takase Taisei were also very simple—he had received information that Takase Hayato would hold a grudge because his sixth generation's position was no longer secure, and would launch a sneak attack on Takase Taisei at 1 a.m. tonight.
Takase Taisei immediately believed it as well and planned to gather all his forces to fight back.
The internal struggle within the Takase-kai will unfold tonight.
Even if they all say that the other party intended to strike first, no one will bother to find out who is right and who is wrong.
The two sides have completely broken off relations, and the victor will get everything.
"Hmm, it wasn't in vain that I first leveled up Takase Taisei's power to a level that was almost the same as Takase Hayato's."
Dazai Osamu blinked his iris-like eyes, looking innocent, and then used the fighting game he often played with Chuuya as an analogy.
"That way, both sides will lose 100 drops of health, and their health bars will be empty at the same time."
Neither side will win; mutual destruction is the outcome he planned.
It would be too much effort for Chuuya and Oda to deal with each of the famous members one by one. It would be much easier to have them gather all their members themselves, divide them into two equally matched interest groups, and then fight each other to the death.
Military and police forces have already laid an ambush further away from the Takase residence. Once the smoke of battle has completely dissipated, they can begin to count and arrest the survivors.
Drug smuggling, arms trafficking, gambling, forced prostitution, as well as kidnapping, murder, bribery... there are a whole host of crimes that can be listed, and there are bound to be some that the survivors can relate to.
Chuuya: "...What did you eat to grow up like this?"
Despite his lack of physical prowess, his cunning and scheming mind is truly terrifying... even though he's a bandaged bastard the same age as him.
"Oh, Chuuya, do you want to learn? You can catch up with me if you just put in a little effort."
Dazai Osamu pinched his thumb and forefinger together, creating a distance of a billion points.
"..." Chuuya curled his lips down. "I don't believe a single bit of what you're saying."
He won't fall for being fooled twice in one day.
"Where to next?" Oda Sakunosuke asked.
He handed the file bag to Dazai Osamu, still holding the gun in his hand, his expression extremely vigilant, clearly still using his supernatural ability [Perfect Clothes] to foresee potential dangers.
Whether as an assassin or a bodyguard, his abilities are undoubtedly top-notch—even when raising children, he is equally adept and can stop Dazai from taking the initiative to die at any time.
For example, Dazai suggested in the initial draft of the plan that he should go into the water first and then be rescued, pretending to be attacked by the enemy... but Oda rejected it with a look.
"Well, when they're really getting into a fight,"
Having failed in his attempt to enter the water, Dazai Osamu turned his gaze to the deepest part of the vast mansion. That was where the Fifth Hokage lived, a place untouched by the conflict.
"Let's go have a heart-to-heart talk with that old man. He probably has some more secret information he can tell us."
"for example--"
With a languid tone, Dazai Osamu's fingertips landed on one of the papers he had taken out of the file folder.
"What does the phrase 'Seventh Organization' following this person's name mean?"
