Chapter 75: The Gold Lord, the Leader of the Chaebol
9:30 PM, Yuzhu Tower, outside a reserved lounge.
The tower standing at Nanakamado is a symbol of the Golden King himself. Just as this ruler of the earth bears a heavy responsibility, the interior of this tower maintains a high-speed operation at all times.
The ability of the Golden King is called [Destiny].
Everyone who swears loyalty to him and joins the "Non-Time Academy" will have their latent talents stimulated to the maximum extent during the inauguration ceremony as a member of the Golden Clan.
This kind of [talent] does not necessarily represent combat, so during the day, the Yuzhu Tower is filled with high-end technical talents who have great influence in various industries.
But at midnight, the "non-time court" who have the same body as ordinary people basically go off work on time, and the only ones who can move freely in the tower are the guards wearing rabbit masks.
They gave up themselves, completely erased their identities and pasts, and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the cause of the Golden King and the Golden Clan. They remained unmoved even when facing other kings.
So at this moment, even though he knew that the fourth royal authority had walked into this lounge a quarter of an hour ago, after receiving the king's order to "invite Miss Suzuki to the reception room for an interview", he still resolutely knocked on the wooden door in front of him.
Knock knock knock, no response.
Brother Rabbit calmly raised his hand and continued knocking.
Knock knock knock, still no response.
The young man knocked on the door tirelessly until the knock-knock and dong-dong-dong sounds became a series of short melodies, and finally a sound like a heavy object falling to the ground came from inside the door.
——What happened before the Blue Prince took office could not be hidden from the Fei Shiyuan’s intelligence network, and the confidential personnel in the tower had heard about it to some extent, so the young man persisted and tried hard to knock on the door, refusing to think about the circumstances under which the sound was made.
The door was finally opened after five more minutes of persistent "banging".
The bunny boy lowered his head in a perfunctory but unmistakable manner, as a formal greeting to the Blue Sovereign. He ignored the other person's open collar and slightly disheveled hair, and calmly said, "The Royal Family invites Miss Suzuki to the reception room."
The blue king narrowed his eyes calmly.
The young man calmly repeated: "The Yu family invites Miss Suzuki to the reception room."
"well?"
From behind the crack of the door, a lively and curious female voice came: "Are you looking for me?"
"That's right," Rabbit heard Miss Suzuki sneeze, and her keen hearing caught her nasal voice muttering to herself, "This is the room assigned to me. Since you're knocking on the door, you must be looking for me."
The next second, the muffled sounds of bare feet stepping on the floor naturally became a series of sounds, and a pair of white arms naturally wrapped around Qing Wang's shoulders.
Miss Suzuki practically threw herself on Reiji Munakata, half hanging from behind him, and stared at the rabbit mask in front of her with great interest for a while before asking, "Where is the reception room?"
Without waiting for the bunny boy to answer, the Green King frowned and raised his arm backwards, holding the girl's legs that were hanging in the air, gently holding her on his back, and said as if no one else was around, "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
Yuanzi moved her legs as a response, rubbing her chin against the top of his head, and asked the rabbit boy again: "Where is the reception room? What do you want to see me for? You arranged accommodation as soon as I arrived. I thought I would see the King of Gold in person tomorrow morning..."
"The Yu family is a man who sits up and walks," Brother Rabbit argued unyieldingly, "He never puts off until the next day what he should do today."
Yuanzi was inexplicably blocked and felt very bored. He just said "oh" and let the topic go.
Reiji Munakata said, "Wait a moment," and closed the door again.
Brother Rabbit stared at the door for a few minutes and decided to wait for a while.
——After all, Miss Suzuki's outfit just now was far from the word "solemn", and it was indeed not suitable for her to go directly to the Imperial Household.
Inside the door, Reiji Munakata opened the cabinet of the suite with familiarity, took out a loose robe of a matching color and placed it next to Sonoko.
"I still need to change clothes..."
Munakata stared at her silently for a while with his eyes lowered. His eyes without glasses were dark blue, as if saying: What else?
Yuanzi suddenly felt a little scared.
Chang Lu Dajue was from the Kingdom of Gold. For a long time, she only heard his voice but never saw him. In her uncle's mouth, this man was like a smelly and hard stone, and the strange thing was that he was very cunning.
Although they are of the same generation, the Golden King is actually more than ten years older than Uncle Suzuki. The former joined the army early and was given the name "Dajue" which only the head of the Kunijo family could inherit.
Although for the Onmyoji family, not engaging in feudal superstitions can actually be considered as not doing their job properly, by the time Uncle Suzuki started to do his job and wander around the world, Kuni Tsuneji Daijuku had already returned to Japan from Germany and transformed himself into the backbone of the country's destiny, making Suzuki Jirokichi appear as an stubborn maverick.
But even though she had a lot of complaints, in the concept instilled in Sonoko by the three elders of the Suzuki family, there were so many people across the country, and it was okay even for her to confront Daoming Si Feng in person and call her an old woman directly (in fact, his son always called her that).
But you absolutely, absolutely must not be disrespectful to the King of Gold.
As for why...
After the Kaguto crater was contracted, Mr. Shiro Suzuki's capitalist materialism was indeed greatly impacted.
This world is filled with vampires, ghouls, ghosts, demons, gods, and humans who possess strange and bizarre abilities.
In the past, the country relied on the emperor as the continuation of the divine bloodline to deter demons, and with the constraints of the gods, strange things still happened;
In modern times, no matter how powerful a rich person is, for these "tricky" guys, forget about "controlling" or "assassinating" him. If they want to, it is not impossible for them to directly kill a politician or the head of a big chaebol and then take advantage of the situation to rise up.
Extraordinary existence means unstable power, means unrestrained existence - it also means that for countless [ordinary people], the world is in danger of being out of control.
But from another perspective, ordinary people, who make up the vast majority of the population, also control the vast majority of the means of production.
Under Japan's system, which is almost jokingly called "capital slavery", the mainstream orientation is completely dominated by large companies. Therefore, ordinary people use countless means of production, brick by brick, to condense into behemoths that can easily influence the country.
The embodiment of these large amounts of capital is the chaebol.
The Non-Time Institute controls all aspects of the country's economy, military, scientific research, and medical care. Kunijoji Daijue is even jokingly called the body of the country "Japan". He himself is also a member of a large chaebol.
It is precisely because of his existence, and because of the power of the strongest king on earth as a deterrent, that the order and constraints on the aliens are effective.
Rich people don't have to worry about being cursed or killed at will, and this is also because of the King of Gold. Even if a family comes from an alien origin, if they want to integrate into the mainstream of society, they must abandon all abnormal means and stand on the same starting line as ordinary people.
The representative among them is the family called [Tsukiyama].
This family are all ghouls, which can be explained in plain words as ghouls, the type that can only eat human flesh and blood and not rice. As a model of the career that has been established, although it has only been passed down for three or four generations, it is naturally placed at the end of the seven major families, and can be mentioned together with the Suou family, which is known as the "last pure blood in Japan."
In contrast, the major chaebols were not reluctant to provide some help to the Non-Time Court occasionally, feeding back the power of their own capital accumulation to the King of Gold as an aid for him to have a deeper influence on this country.
Therefore, Chang Lu Dajue of the Golden Kingdom, in addition to his identity as the "King", is also recognized by all major families as the "leader" of all the "chaebols".
However, according to Suzuki's father, "Kunijoji Daijuku is trustworthy in terms of his methods, virtues, and heart. Sonoko doesn't need to feel pressured. Just talk to him the same way you normally talk to your father."
Sonoko hung up the terminal with puffed cheeks, still feeling a little uneasy. She sighed and looked up at Reiji Munakata, her face full of the meaning of "Why don't you come with me?"
It has been a long time since those with special abilities have been under the control of the Golden King. To Munakata, the Golden King is a senior whom he admires, respects, and even regards as a life mentor. Not to mention accompanying Sonoko, Mr. Munakata Reiji still doesn't understand what she is afraid of.
Yuanzi sighed in an air of old-fashionedness.
She had been brought up in an unruly and indulgent upbringing since she was a child. However, when she was ten years old, things suddenly changed. Suddenly, there was a person who must not be treated with any impunity.
This feeling is like a free son who doesn't need to go to school and has wasted half his life, but suddenly the species of "Dean of Studies" appears in his life.
It didn't feel real when I was far away, but when I thought about meeting the real person soon, I felt intimidated, just like the last student in the class facing the upcoming parent-teacher meeting.
The Golden King was indeed preoccupied with affairs. The reason he took the time to keep an eye on Suzuki Sonoko was, firstly, to deter the little girl from acting recklessly, and secondly...
As the sound of the door being pushed open was heard, before anyone arrived, a flash of white light that could only be seen by certain beings first poured into the room.
The 96-year-old white-haired king narrowed his eyes calmly: This little girl from the Suzuki family is really... so dazzling that it hurts my eyes.
But this can also be confirmed. The King of Gold sighed that the Suzuki family's "good luck" in terms of money really came from this girl.
The clan members accompanying him were keenly aware of the king's narrowed eyes. Considering that he was also an old man who was almost a hundred years old, some of them asked with concern, "The Royal Family?"
"fine."
A majestic male voice sounded slowly. Although he was old, it did not diminish his majesty. After Suzuki Sonoko entered the door, she kept looking up until her neck was sore, and then she could really see the face of the King of Gold.
——This white-haired old man has a straight back, broad shoulders, and a height of two meters and ten meters.
——Wow, he looks so fierce!
Fortunately, the fierce-looking old man had no intention of talking to her about life. The person in charge of communicating with Sonoko was a young man from the Non-Tokiin Academy. When he smiled, his eyes curved into two crescents, and he was extremely kind.
As mentioned earlier, Mr. Golden had thought about this more than once: If he could choose, he would rather dig out Fuyuki and Tomoeda from the country and throw them away.
However, both the magician involved with Fuyuki and the magician involved with Tomoeda are outsiders with complicated backgrounds.
When Kunijoji Daijue was middle-aged and developing his clan and establishing order for the aliens, he would get angry whenever he saw the map and wanted to pull out the people from Tōsaka and beat them up.
The system of the Holy Grail War was artificially constructed 200 years ago. The main force was the Einzbern, while the Makiri family built the summoning and restraint system for Masters and Servants.
The Tohsaka family - As a magician of good family background, Tohsaka Nagato provided a place with rich spiritual veins for this group of magicians from Europe.
In other words, the reason why the Holy Grail War was fought in Fuyuki was because 200 years ago, the title deed to the land near Fuyuki's main castle belonged to the Tousaka family.
Although the land was not sparsely populated in those days, there were still large areas of wasteland near the prosperous city. There were few people within a dozen miles of the Tohsaka family's territory, and no one would know if a few pairs of heroic spirits fought.
But what is the concept of population density now?
The current Fuyuki City is more than ten times the size of the territory back then. It is full of innocent people busying about making a living. Those who are facing the rising housing prices in the city center are having a heart attack!
Not to mention the heroic spirits using their powerful anti-city and anti-world Noble Phantasms, even if an ordinary person climbed up a tall building on the street and threw a bottle of sulfuric acid down, the lethality would be enough to fill up the nearby hospital!
The Golden King felt deeply that Tōsaka Nagato's behavior was like putting a dog-skin plaster on Japanese soil without reporting it to the Emperor.
Then more than 200 years passed, and this piece of dog-skin plaster was still stubbornly rooted in Dongmu's spiritual vein and could not be torn off no matter what.
As a man with a normal attack style, even though he is old, Guo Changlu Dajue still has the final say.
——If he said he would dig up Fuyuki and throw him away, then he really did dig up Fuyuki and throw him away.
As for how to operate...
As the Golden King's depressing figure disappeared, the air in the room began to circulate again. The squinty-eyed boy poured a cup of tea for Yuanzi and explained to her in a good-tempered manner.
"The Yu family's decision is very decisive. They will definitely give an explanation to the Suzuki family. However, there are many things involved in the magic path. Although we have set a general framework, it will take time to perfect it."
He seemed completely oblivious to Sonoko's exaggerated sigh of relief and continued, "I had no other intention than to invite Miss Suzuki here."
"As I said before, the Yu family wants to take this opportunity to completely cut off the soil for the survival of the demonic sect in the country. The operation is rather complicated, and we are afraid that it will collide with your actions and interfere with each other and fail."
Suzuki Sonoko felt a chill on the back of her neck for some reason because of the soft "呢" at the end of his sentence.
"So," she clutched the warm teacup tightly, her expression delicate as she asked, "Are you planning to silence us all?"
——I was just planning to bully men and women until they couldn’t take care of themselves…
——Shouldn’t it be an organization backed by the government?
——The path is so wild!
However, the younger brother gently shook his head and said tiredly, "Silencing someone won't solve the fundamental problem."
"As long as Fuyuki's spiritual veins are still connected to the Holy Grail system, even if this wave of Masters dies, when the spiritual power overflows next time, others will still be given Command Spells."
"If we want to completely eliminate this kind of trouble that occurs every few decades, the best way is to directly remove the Holy Grail system."
Suzuki Sonoko humbly asked for advice: "How to do it?"
The young man whose main responsibility was to calm Miss Suzuki down explained to her, like telling a story, by counting on his fingers, the framework of the plan that had just been decided at the emergency meeting held by the Non-Time Academy.
However, due to the tight time schedule (only a quarter of an hour), the framework was very simple and there was no intelligence support, but the young man spoke of it without any guilt.
The control that Fei Shi Yuan has over this country is enough for them to turn the simple steps of just over a hundred words into reality.
"It's actually not that difficult to destroy the spirit vein itself. The growth and decay of all surface creatures comes from the light veins flowing underground, and the direction of Fuyuki's light vein is-"
He traced a line of nails along the river that crossed the city on the map on the table. "It's along this line with the Miyuan River as its main trunk."
"According to the information, the land nearby appears to be privately owned red zone, so the first step is to acquire all the land along the Mion River in Fuyuki."
Ms. Suzuki stared at the map expressionlessly and exclaimed, "Ah!"
"What's wrong, Ms. Suzuki?"
"It's okay," Miss Suzuki blinked. "I just suddenly realized that this piece of land you marked out... seems to belong to ours."
The young man pushed his glasses with a cold expression.
"Look if you don't believe me," Ms. Suzuki said, pulling out her phone and opening the app she'd used to quickly buy land to show him last week's transaction records. "I just bought it a few days ago."
"That's quite a coincidence."
The young man's voice was tinged with laughter as he sighed meaninglessly, "Because it stretches across the south of the city to the docks, it will disrupt the lives of ordinary citizens. So they're planning to approve a project and fence off the entire area for construction."
"To disrupt the light vein flow, you don't need to dig very deep, but you do need to capture the direction of the spiritual energy. As long as the light vein changes its course, Fuyuki's current spiritual vein will naturally be gradually destroyed."
"Ms. Suzuki, what do you think of the excuse of renovating the sewer?"
Suzuki Sonoko: ...
"Well," Suzuki Sonoko said with a click of her tongue, scratching her head: "You don't need to come up with excuses to approve the project..."
"I bought the land in Fuyuki to develop aquaculture and processing, from the offshore mudflats to the production and transportation line on the shore," Sonoko sniffed and said slowly, "The application documents have been approved, and we can start work at any time, but..."
"but?"
Miss Suzuki's eyes were dead. "But some of the building materials we bought were destroyed tonight. What do those heroic spirits eat to survive? They can even penetrate shipping containers?"
This is really... a bit too coincidental.
The corners of the mystic brother's eyes curved even more, but buying land for construction was still reasonable. He looked thoughtfully at Miss Suzuki who was mumbling, and said, "There's no rush, actually."
"Even if the project is approved, we can't go digging in Fuyuki right away."
"After all, the Holy Grail War is a system developed by magicians. The European magic families have existed for a long time, and the Clock Tower, as the headquarters of the magic, has existed for thousands of years. If we want to directly eliminate the Holy Grail War, it will inevitably affect the entire system, and we will have to slowly negotiate with Europe."
"Oh~"
Yuanzi nodded in sudden realization, then asked, "How do we negotiate?"
"Well," the young man smiled, "this is quite troublesome, because the demons intentionally avoid ordinary people and are far away from us, so there is not much intersection."
"However, the Yu family controls the Dresden Slate, one of the cornerstones of the world. Through this connection, they can directly communicate with the holders of the cornerstones in Europe. As beings chosen by the cornerstones to maintain order, they have the obligation to restrain magicians and teach them to stay where they belong.
In this passage, Yuanzi didn't understand what the stone slab was, nor did he know where the rule of "whoever gets the cornerstone of the world will be responsible for all the mess on the land" came from.
She asked the most direct question: "Who?"
He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, "The Mare Ring is ownerless, and the Children of Rainbow are scattered all over the place, and there's no system. Although there are rumors that another ring disappeared at the end of the earth, in this situation, of course, the only option is to find the Vongola!"
At this point, the secretary took out his notebook thoughtfully and said, "Come to think of it, the Vongola succession battle is about to end. I remember that the martial law period in Namimori seems to be only two days away..."
He didn't know what he wrote, but after finishing, he snapped the book shut and sighed, "The successor will be officially confirmed in two days. This matter of controlling the Clock Tower will be a good opportunity to establish the authority of the Tenth Generation of the Vongola. It's a win-win situation..."
After saying that, the young man seemed to realize that he had an occupational disease. He smiled without any stiffness and began to try to find topics to chat with Yuanzi.
"I remember Suzuki and the Vongola seemed to have quite a bit of contact. Who do you think will win in the end, Ms. Suzuki?"
Suzuki Sonoko chuckled: "The fight isn't over yet, how would I know who will win? I just know the loser might become my wife."
Secretary: “Huh?”
"It's okay," Ms. Suzuki waved her hand. "I mean, regarding this issue, I've already discussed it with the Vongola people."
Recalling the ugly face of the little baby [If you have the guts, marry XANXUS first.jpg], she rolled her eyes openly: "They don't have time to care."
"That's impossible!"
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but the young man raised his voice and his two crescent-shaped eyes were wide open.
"The Golden King controls the Dresden Slate, suppresses the influence of the slate's power on humans, and reduces the number of esper beings. This is his responsibility and his duty. Since the Vongola holds one-third of the world's cornerstone, he must assume the responsibility of maintaining regional stability!"
"The demonic power is so long-reaching, is it reasonable to just ignore it?"
"The family chooses an heir to pass on the responsibility," he said, swishing the notebook in the air angrily. "Even if we don't choose an heir, we can't delay doing the real work!"
Sonoko: ...So it was that little baby who lied to me?
"No wonder!"
The secretary was so angry that his fingers were raised. "No wonder the external relations department just said that they couldn't contact anyone at the Vongola headquarters in Italy, and no one answered the Ninth Hokage's personal phone!"
"Now that mysterious organization called Cerbero is controlling Namimori, we can't even contact a potential successor for the time being!"
Yuanzi thought to herself that those two almost became my potential wives, and one of them might even be my husband in my previous life. Don’t I have their numbers?
╮(ω)╭
Then, she couldn't help but think of the Yamamoto family's sushi restaurant and the Ring War battlefield she had visited. In fact, she could really... find the Vongola.
Sonoko: "I can."
"What?"
"I mean," Ms. Suzuki twisted the hair that fell on the side of her face, "Cherbero never stopped me from entering Namimori, so I guess... I can contact the Vongola people."
——Actually, an hour ago, the people from SP4 also happened to meet the Vongola.
The young man's expression froze for a long time, and he looked at Miss Suzuki who was playing with her hair in disbelief for a long time.
Before accepting this mission, he had asked the Yu family in confusion, "The power of the Heshiin and Suzuki family is incomparable. Since the Yu family has already made the decision, they can just give the order directly. If President Suzuki himself were here, it would be normal for him to explain it specifically, but for a young lady of his family... why mobilize such a large force?"
Yujia coughed twice and asked him a completely unrelated question.
"Do you know what it's like to be blessed with good fortune and great luck?"
The young man shook his head.
"It's just 'May your wishes come true'."
The white-haired Wang put down his teacup. "Everything in the world will develop towards her desired outcome, intentionally or unintentionally. Even the most unfavorable conditions will gradually become favorable. Even if there's no way to reverse the situation immediately, various factors will invisibly converge in her hands, allowing her to do whatever she wants."
"If you and the Suzuki family attack at the same time, if that little girl's method of revenge conflicts with my orders, your actions will inevitably fail due to various unexpected circumstances."
Yujia's expression was frighteningly calm when he said this, as if he had no idea how horrible what he said was.
He squinted his eyes and shook his head hard to get rid of these images from his mind.
——But there was the ownership of the Fuyuki land, the perfectly blocked spiritual vein, the almost flawless construction time, and the interpersonal relationships that were like chasing down a fish that had slipped through the net.
The young man licked his dry lips, feeling that the invisible lines of fate seemed to have silently formed a cocoon around Miss Suzuki, and even her confused (he didn't know why the young man was in a daze) eyes were covered with a layer of mysterious and wise light.
He stared at the bewildered Miss Suzuki for a long moment, then suddenly spoke, "The witness of the Holy Grail War was the local Holy Church."
"Although this is an imported religion, it has a large international following and cannot be directly labeled a cult and expelled. Therefore, the Golden Clan will negotiate with Takama-ga-hara to establish a land deity in Fuyuki."
"However, the spiritual veins there are inherently difficult to tame. Rerouting the light veins is equivalent to shattering Fuyuki's original spiritual veins and then reorganizing them. This process will inevitably produce a large amount of miasma. Ordinary gods cannot withstand it and may be contaminated. The Great God of Fortune has an extreme aversion to filth due to his nature."
"The Imperial Family's intention is to visit all the shrines of the Seven Lucky Gods one by one when the next season of worship begins."
After saying that, he stared at Miss Suzuki with a smile, feeling some unknown expectation and a series of subtle remarks like "Say it again," "What can you do if you say it again," and "Why don't you even get involved in the affairs of God?"
However, Miss Suzuki's eyes were shining at this moment.
Liang's little brother's heart skipped a beat.
[Powerful enough to tame spirit veins]
[Not afraid of miasma and able to endure pain]
this……
Isn't this referring to Yato? !
Suzuki Sonoko immediately rubbed her hands embarrassedly.
"To be honest..."
She sighed eloquently and twisted her sleeves with an exaggeratedly shy expression, "If there really isn't a god willing to do this job, I actually have someone who's quite suitable."
The little brother's eyes instantly lost their luster, he smiled expressionlessly, picked up the half-full teapot, and said, "I'm going to add some hot water."
Before he completely closed the door, Miss Suzuki behind him couldn't wait to take out five dollars from her pocket and smiled happily at the coin.
"Yato!"
After the door closed, Miss Suzuki's voice was still faint and lingering.
"I'm telling you, I've found you a proper job!"
"You don't have to work so hard anymore. Kill demons and monsters and find a way to become a Martial God!"
"If you do this job well, you'll be given a permanent residence permit in Takama-ga-hara!"
The author has something to say: I will not write about cars in the main text for the time being. I will regard cars as external links and benefits. I will post it on Weibo after I finish writing it, and then I will notify you to take a look.
What title best suits a woman who carries the golden rule?
King of Gold!
What’s the point of just being the heir of the Suzuki family?
Be the leader of a chaebol!
At this time, there is still half a year before the death of the golden old man in the K drama. Half a year later, Sonoko will be exactly 18:-D
The setting of the light vein flow comes from "Mushishi", which is the source of all things. This article borrows the setting that spiritual veins will gather where the light vein flow passes. After the light vein flow is changed, the spiritual veins will slowly lose their spiritual energy and re-gather at the new place where it flows.
The Ninth Hokage cannot be contacted because he is currently serving as the Spark Source in Varian's Moskari.
Fei Shiyuan will not keep an eye on the Suzuki family if he has nothing to do. In Chapter 13, Huang Jin said that there is no need to raise the surveillance level, so the information is relatively vague. Cerbero will deliberately intercept people with special abilities and will not care about the entry and exit of ordinary people without abilities.
SP4 and Heijiin are two institutions. Although Munakata seems to listen to Huang Jin, the two are relatively independent.
The above is an explanation for those who have not watched K and the tutor. It would take up a lot of words if I put all the explanations in the main text.
Finally, as usual, please leave a message. Good morning everyone!
