Chapter 190 Tragedy Caused by Wreath
"What? Doesn't it seem real?"
In the quaint pavilion, Wen Zhengming leaned against the window and said lightly.
He held the chess piece in his right hand, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, and seemed not to care about the matter.
The old Taoist stared at his junior uncle and said, "That's the Ruo Dao Pill. It hasn't appeared in this world for nearly 1,200 years since Lü Zu's sword opened the gate to heaven."
"It hasn't appeared for 1,200 years. Can't I refine it?" Wen Zhengming asked as he landed on the chess piece.
"this………"
The old Taoist priest was speechless.
It hasn’t appeared for 1,200 years, so it can’t appear?
This time, this question stumped the old Taoist priest.
Since our predecessors have already refined it, it is not surprising that later generations can also refine it.
"Longxuzi, a cultivator should follow his own nature and achieve enlightenment naturally, but he cannot lose the sharp spirit in his chest." Wen Zhengming shook his head.
"Longxuzi, I am grateful for your advice!" The old Taoist took a deep breath, bowed and saluted.
"Okay, play chess with me!"
Wen Zhengming tapped the chessboard with the chess piece in his hand. As soon as he finished speaking, the chess pieces on the board were divided into black and white and fell into the chess basket.
"Okay!" The old Taoist priest stepped forward.
When the old Taoist priest sat down, Wen Zhengming waved his right hand, and the gourd beside the chessboard flew into the air and flew towards the old Taoist priest.
"This is?"
The old Taoist grabbed the gourd in his hand and asked in confusion.
"Ruo Dao Dan." Wen Zhengming said lightly.
"Is this all in this gourd?"
The old Taoist's eyes were wide open.
"The art of alchemy is my unique Pure Yang skill. Isn't it normal to make elixirs?" Wen Zhengming held the chess piece and dropped it as if from thousands of feet above, making a sound of metal and stone.
The old Taoist priest looked and saw that the chess piece landed on Tianyuan.
If the chessboard was fifty-fifty, Tian Yuan would have made a good move, but at this moment the chess pieces were spread out in nineteen rows and columns. Unless one could take in the overall situation in an instant, this move would surely be a bad one.
He looked up and saw his junior uncle saying calmly:
"Don't ask too many questions. Everything is under control."
I don’t know whether he is talking about elixirs or the chess game.
………
At the same time, in Osaka, Japan, the Ida Society also started to move. With the support of Kota Roku, the Ida Society began its own expansion.
Japanese social organizations generally have five businesses, in addition to the hobbies of the three ninjas of Konoha, there are also usury and protection fees.
Among these three, the most important is protection fee, because protection fee is related to the size of the actual controlled area. It is a stable source of income with extremely low risk.
………
In the early morning, the sunlight scattered on the earth, mixed with the fragrance of the soil. It rained lightly last night, so the early morning was particularly cool.
After the bloodthirsty devil stopped committing crimes, Osaka seemed to have regained its usual vitality.
People were crowded on the streets on their way to work, and children on their way to school were playing in groups of three or five on the streets.
Soon people noticed that a new Starbucks had opened on the streets of Osaka, and in front of the door of Starbucks, there were white wreaths placed one after another.
In the Ming Dynasty, people only sent wreaths during funerals, but in Japan, during opening ceremonies, relatives and friends would usually send wreaths to congratulate.
The owner of Starbucks is Kitayama Sato, the actual controller of Starbucks in Japan. As usual, he came to inspect the newly opened store today, which is his habit.
However, in front of the store, he saw a unique wreath.
This is a wreath unique to the society. The meaning of sending this wreath is to warn businesses that it is time to pay protection fees.
If you don't want to get into trouble at this time, find an intermediary to take you to the agency that sent you the wreath and negotiate with them the amount of protection money.
For example, if you offer a club 1 million yen a year, you can bargain and say it is too much and can it be reduced a little. In the end, after negotiation, it may be reduced to 500,000 or even 100,000 yen a year.
But the lower the protection fee, the more likely these gangs will come to your store to eat and drink for free, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Of course, you can choose to never give in and refuse to pay protection fees, but if your store is often smashed with windows, dead cats thrown at it, or customers are harassed after it opens, affecting your business, you will be the one who suffers in the end.
You can also choose to call the police. In Japan, as long as you call the police, the police will definitely come.
But you have to pay attention to one thing: the society only sent you a wreath, and did not specify any protection money. If you cannot provide evidence, even if the police understand that this is extortion, they will not be able to arrest anyone. They can only warn the society and let the matter go.
But you are now making enemies with the community.
After all, you are on the same street as the society, so you can't be on guard against them.
"Ida Society, have you sent us wreaths?" Kitayama Sato, the Japanese head of Starbucks, sneered with a look of disdain.
The society will do market research before looking for someone to collect protection fees.
For privately-run bars, karaoke bars, restaurants, etc., the community will see that you have no background and will just send you a wreath.
Even if large global chains like McDonald's and Starbucks are located next to the club's office, the club will not send wreaths there.
Because even if the club gives it to them, they won’t give it back, and even if the club makes trouble, they won’t care.
Moreover, these people are related to the Japanese government and cannot be provoked.
That's why Kitayama Sato looked so disdainful.
"Does it require your attention?" asked the shopkeeper.
"Don't pay any attention to them. Let's see what they dare to do. A second-rate society in Osaka dares to send us a wreath. They are so brave." Kitayama Sato said coldly.
After that, he went on his daily rounds and left without even taking the matter to heart.
But early the next morning, Kitayama Sato received a shocking news: the owner of the newly opened store died mysteriously in his own store.
He was made into a wreath, and the white wreath wrapped his entire body.
Kitayama Sato was stunned for a moment and subconsciously thought of the wreath from the Ida Society.
"How dare they?"
After Beichuan spoke, he seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. He turned to look at his assistant and said, "Tell the original local club that the Jingtian Club has crossed the line."
"Boss, the original Bendi Society has been annexed by the Jingtian Society. It is said that several high-ranking members died mysteriously, and it was eventually annexed under pressure."
"What?"
Kitagawa Sato finally took the Ida Club seriously. It has been a long time since any club in Japan dared to be so crazy.
Now, all Japanese clubs are strictly restricted by the Japanese side. There are even conflicts between clubs, but because of the traffic lights, they just curse at each other and don't fight.
In comparison, the Jingtian Society is simply the behavior of lunatics.
"Is there no regulation in Japan?"
The assistant said: "Before, it seems that someone was sent to investigate, but in the end nothing was done."
"It's nothing?"
Kitayama Sato took a deep breath. Logically speaking, this kind of thing must be investigated, but Osaka's attitude now seemed a bit strange.
"Don't pay yet. I'll go to Osaka to ask and we'll talk tomorrow."
The next morning, Kitagawa Sato looked at the death certificate on the table and was stunned.
The acting manager of the new store died again, and was made into a wreath.
This Jingtian Society is crazy.
Kitagawa Sato didn't dare to waste any more time this time. He directly called the Osaka Criminal Investigation Department Director. However, before he could say anything, the other party directly said that he couldn't do anything about the matter and suggested that he spend money to avoid disaster.
Kitagawa Sato was really stunned. After a long silence, he slowly said:
"Go to Ida Office!"
