What?!

The mobile phone in Kitajima Masao's hand trembled with shock and fell to the ground.

The loan sharking industry in a county generates at least tens of billions of profits every year, and as a result, gangs of all sizes fight over it every year, with dozens of people even dying.

In particular, Hyogo Prefecture, as a part of the Osaka metropolitan area, has developed commerce and thriving consumer finance business, and has always been a huge pie that major social groups have been competing for. During the Yamaichi struggle, the Sumiyoshi family and the Yamaguchi-gumi went to war for this reason.

Although Kitajima Masao was doing well among the younger generation and became a backbone at the age of 30, Kobe City is in the Kinki region and has always been controlled by the Yamaguchi-gumi. The Inagawa-kai itself is quite powerful compared to the Yamaguchi-gumi. An ordinary backbone could not even imagine how terrible the loan sharking industry in a county was.

My breathing stopped and even my heartbeat stopped.

What is the reason that made that adult take such care of me? !

Could it be that he had stepped on two gorillas' testicles that day to avoid getting the adults' shoes dirty? Kitajima Masao would never have dreamed that Nagano Nao just thought that his talk of receiving customers a thousand times that day was interesting.

But obviously, this is not the time to think about these issues.

After agreeing, he listened to the other party hanging up the phone and Kitajima Masao sat on the ground and gasped for breath.

Chance!

Unprecedented opportunity!!

An indescribable excitement lingered in my heart, making it impossible to calm down and think.

However, in Kabuki Ichibancho, a place that represents the gathering place of gangs, there are many ways to eliminate excitement. Kitajima Masao called a few bath girls to squander the excitement.

After it was over, he kicked the woman who was kneeling on the ground away and walked to the bathtub.

Even though this guy is short, his body is extremely good. From shoulders to calves, there is not a trace of fat on his body. The bulging muscles on his chest and abdomen are clearly defined, as if they were several forged steel plates, giving people a feeling of explosive power.

There were dozens of scars on his body, including gunshot wounds and knife wounds, making him look quite hideous.

But the most eye-catching part is the back, which is covered with colorful tattoos in the style of Ukiyo-e, showing a long-haired woman, naked, with a bloody dagger in her mouth.

This was tattooed when Kitajima Masao officially joined the Inagawa-kai.

Getting a tattoo means lifelong isolation from mainstream society, and becoming a low-class person that is not tolerated by society.

Because Japanese society generally discriminates against people with tattoos, not only can they not become civil servants, they can't even find a formal job.

Most public bathhouses and hot spring pools will have notices in prominent places prohibiting people with tattoos from entering, and most regular hotels will refuse to allow people with tattoos to use the bathroom.

Once a gang member gets a tattoo, it means he has cut himself off from society and there is no turning back.

In addition, the tattoos of gang members are also divided into levels. For example, Bei Dao is just a small leader, so he can only have tattoos on his arms and back. As for the chest, lower abdomen, buttocks, thighs, etc., tattoos are not allowed, otherwise he will be punished accordingly.

There was a drizzle outside, but it sounded particularly crisp at this moment. Having vented his excess energy, Kitajima Masao's mind became particularly clear.

No matter why that adult took care of me.

But this is definitely an opportunity to change your destiny!

“Dongdong.”

The dull knock on the door broke the relatively quiet atmosphere in the bathroom. The woman who was rubbing Kitajima Masao's back trembled her hand and carefully moved it away from him.

"It should be Okamoto," Kitajima said as he took the towel, "Go and ask him to come in."

"Ha Yi."

The woman walked out of the bathroom in small steps and brought a man in.

Okamoto's full name is Okamoto Kozhi. He is also a member of the Inagawa-kai and a subordinate of Kitajima Masao.

At that time, Kitajima was still a "guide" who was not presentable, that is, a pimp in Kabuki Ichibancho.

He was blocked in a brothel by Taro Miura, the current head of the Sumiyoshi-kai Rokubonme Group, and his men, and was nearly hacked to death. It was Okamoto who risked his life to rescue him from the siege.

Because of this life-saving favor, Kitajima had already regarded Okamoto as his confidant.

I briefly explained what Nagano Nao said.

After hearing this, Okamoto's eyes almost popped out of his head: "How is this possible! Osaka is the sphere of influence of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and the Sumiyoshi-kai paid a huge price to have their current position."

"We don't need to worry about the Yamaguchi-gumi. This is what the big shots mean. Real big shots!"

Kitajima Masao still spoke with excitement.

He didn't dare to guess how much power a president of a real behemoth like Nippon Seibu Corporation held.

But one thing is certain, even if what that big shot said touched the interests of the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Sumiyoshi-kai, they had to keep it to themselves.

Dare to touch the head of Japan's Ibo? Even if the two major gangs come together, they don't have the guts to do so. Besides, it sounds like that boss just dislikes the Sumiyoshi Federation.

After two or three brief conversations, everything became quiet again.

After a while, the two men drove with their men and immediately rushed to the Shinjuku office.

The Wakagashira who takes care of Kitajima Masao is Shoichi Sanken, who is the vice president of the firm, second only to the president Ishii Takamasa and the chairman Inagawa Seijiro.

It was noon.

Sanyan Zhengyi is still taking a nap.

The two men knelt on the ground respectfully waiting to be received.

After kneeling like this for a full half hour, the elderly Sanyan Zhengyi came out. After listening to Kitajima Masao's story, this guy in his sixties immediately became excited.

But compared to the wealth the two saw, Sanyan Zhengyi, as a superior, saw more.

Since Masao Hori took office as the "President" of the Sumiyoshi Renhekai last year, the organization's power has gradually surpassed that of the Inagawa-kai, becoming the largest organization in eastern Japan. As the Sumiyoshi-kai expands, the conflicts between the Inagawa-kai and the Sumiyoshi Renhekai have become more and more frequent.

This includes the small consumer finance market.

The Inagawa-kai finally managed to find a place to survive in Osaka during the fight between the two major gangs, but they were beaten out by Kitaharagawa of the Noguchi-kai's Hyogo office.

Originally, this guy was just a core member of the Noguchi-kai, but he was a very resourceful person. He met Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the head of the Westinghouse Group, because he helped the Seibu Group carry out forced demolitions in Hyogo Prefecture.

Therefore, with the help of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's power, the Inagawa-kai was forced to withdraw from Osaka.

Now the company is about to have a new round of elections. If he can take back the territory of Kobe, he might be able to compete for the next president position.

"Bei Dao! Tell me how you met this great man."

"It was about the Rokubonme incident before. Lord Nagano asked me to do a little thing. That should be the reason."

Is it just because of this reason? It is hard to guess what this big shot is thinking, and it may also be related to the recent personnel changes at Nihon Seibo.

But regardless, this is a huge opportunity!

"From now on, Kitajima, you can set up an office in Kobe. All resources will be arranged for you within the organization, but you must use your head to guarantee that you will take back the territory that belongs to the Inagawa Society. Do you understand?"

"Ha Yi!"
