Chapter 166

"The Port Mafia is really going too far." When Margaret and Louisa followed Francis back from the negotiation with the Port Mafia, Margaret had a sullen face full of anger.

"What's the matter?" Hawthorne frowned and asked Margaret, with an imperceptible concern hidden in his voice.

The moment she saw Hawthorne, Margaret's expression instantly improved a lot, but her tone was still full of dissatisfaction.

"The Port Mafia doesn't want the white whale at all." Margaret said angrily, her hands tightly grasping her handbag, "What they want is to step on our group to get to the top."

After hearing what Margaret said, Hawthorne showed some doubts on his face. He looked at Francis and Louisa, who also looked unhappy, and asked, "What about the port mafia?"

"Call the members to the meeting room." Francis did not answer directly, but asked Hawthorne to call the members of the group.

After all, there were no other members here except Hawthorne who came here specifically to wait for Margaret, and Francis didn't want to explain it twice.

In the conference room, everyone in the group looked at Francis, Louisa and Margaret, who all looked unhappy, and couldn't help but look at each other.

"Did the plan fail...?" Mark Twain asked the question first.

Poe stared at Francis and Louisa closely, and he realized from their attitudes that something unexpected had happened.

"The plan was successful. The leader of the port mafia, Jun Kiyohara, is indeed interested in beluga whales." Louisa waited for a while and found that Francis did not answer. Instead, he stared at the direction of Herman in a trance. So she explained herself, "It's just that Jun Kiyohara's interest in beluga whales is not what we thought."

"A small Japanese organization actually wants to step on the group to get ahead." Margaret clenched the goose feather fan in her hand, and her voice was full of anger. After leaving the Port Mafia, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, "Captain, why did you bring that document back! In my opinion, you should have turned against the Port Mafia directly!"

"Falling out with the Port Mafia that may have four Transcendents?" Francis came back to his senses and asked back when he heard Margaret's question.

He saw clearly the guard following Jun Kiyohara today. It was clearly Arthur Rimbaud, the French transcendent who had been confirmed dead.

Rimbaud, Verlaine, Kiyohara Jun, plus Nakahara Chuuya who is very likely also a Transcendent. The Port Mafia has four Transcendents. How should they fight?

and……

Francis recalled what Jun Kiyohara had said to him, "Although I won't give you the rights to use the book, I will cure your daughter." Francis, who had never told Jun Kiyohara about his purpose, was moved but also shocked.

The intelligence capabilities of the port mafia should not be underestimated.

Francis took a deep breath, suppressed his inner excitement, and slowly told Jun Kiyora's request.

"So the leader of the Port Mafia wants us to use the Beluga whale to destroy Yokohama, and then have their people come forward to save Yokohama???" Lucy exclaimed in disbelief. Although she knew that the Port Mafia needed the Beluga whale, she never expected that the Port Mafia wanted the Beluga whale and the group to do this.

and……

Lucy couldn't help but cast her gaze towards Herman. She looked at Herman's expression with what she thought was a subtle look, but was startled by Herman's sharp look back at her.

"The beluga fell as a monster that destroyed Yokohama..." Herman whispered. He has been to every corner of the beluga in the past two days. The more he gets along with the current beluga, the more he misses the elf that once flew in the sky.

The group's original plan was to manipulate the white whale to destroy Yokohama if they could not defeat the Port Mafia, in order to threaten the Port Mafia.

But that was a last resort decision, and at that time it was just intended as a threat, not to really let the beluga fall.

But now, from what Francis said, the Port Mafia really wants and needs the white whale to fall. Although he doesn't understand the Port Mafia's intention, as long as the white whale falls, the Port Mafia is willing to cure Francis' daughter.

In order to heal Francis' daughter, the beluga whale must be sacrificed...?

Herman was absent-minded for a moment. He thought of the girl who would call him "Grandpa Herman" with a smile and run freely on the beluga whale. He also thought of how the girl was now skinny, but when she saw him, she still smiled as always.

The members of the group had all had experience with Francis' daughter to some extent. Otherwise, even if Francis promised to give them money and power after the plan was successful, they would not have really fought for the health of a young girl.

Many of them have received the favor of the girl. After all, Francis is a capitalist who is only loyal to his wife and daughter. He will not care about their daily lives, nor will he be too considerate to them. Just look at Francis' attitude towards the white whale and you can tell that Herman was the one who handed the group over to him.

Herman's mind kept flashing back to the girl's brilliant smile, the figure of the beluga whale flying in the sky, the appearance of the beluga whale now full of machinery, and the sad cry of the beluga whale when it was transformed.

Finally, an idea suddenly came into Herman's mind.

If the current beluga whale is destroyed, will the former spirit in the sky come back?

Herman knew that the idea was just an excuse to convince himself. In fact, he still could not forget Francis' kindness and the girl's help.

"Then let it fall." After a long silence, Herman spoke, his eyes no longer wavering, full of determination, "Then let the white whale fall. I agree to this condition."

Francis was delighted when Herman, the leader of the first group and the owner of the white whale with special abilities, spoke up.

He knew he was being selfish, sacrificing the group's reputation and Herman's white whale for the sake of his daughter.

But... Francis thought of his wife and daughter in the United States. He did not regret it, nor was he ashamed of his selfishness. If selfishness alone could bring about the recovery of his daughter and his wife, Francis was willing to be selfish all his life.

After a long silence, everyone in the group gradually passed the decision. Even Margaret raised her hand reluctantly after Hawthorne's comfort.

Finally, the only one who didn't raise his hand was Edgar Allan Poe, who had been deep in thought since the beginning.

While everyone's eyes were on Edgar Allan Poe, he was thinking about Kiyora Jun's strange behavior and intentions and did not notice it until Carl pulled his hair suddenly and he came back to his senses.

"Hey, hey?" Edgar Allan Poe looked at everyone in confusion, not knowing what he had just said, and asked Louisa beside him for help in a daze.

Louisa repeated what she had just said to Poe in a low voice, and he hastily raised his hand without caring about the group's reputation or the white whale.

The plan was passed unanimously. With Francis paying a huge price to compensate the members of the group and the goodwill of the group members towards Francis' daughter, the plan of using the group's reputation and the white whale to exchange for the possible recovery of Francis' daughter from the port mafia was passed.

After everyone left the conference room one after another, only Edgar Allan Poe was still sitting in the conference room with a frown on his face. He was trying to figure out why Kiyohara Jun did this and why he knew they would come to negotiate.

Finally, Poe remembered the doubts about Verlaine's decision not to attack them yesterday and the wisdom of Kiyohara Jun, who was well-known.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!" Poe's eyes lit up, he took Carl off his shoulders, and said to Carl with shining eyes, "We know it now! The leader of the Port Mafia deliberately let Verlaine keep that broken hairpin! It was to lure the captain and the others into negotiation! In this way, he can achieve his plan without spending a single soldier, and he doesn't have to fight the group!"

Carl barked, then stretched out his paw and patted Poe's hand, but Poe still lifted it up high in excitement.

At this moment inside the Port Mafia, Jun Kiyohara is dealing with a series of follow-up events brought about by Fukuchi Sakurachi and Bloom.

As he processed the documents with an expressionless face, Kiyohara Jun couldn't help but suspect that there were dark circles under his eyes.

Since the Port Mafia took control of Yokohama, they have not stopped expanding. Although the main force of the Mafia remains in Yokohama, new branches have been opened all over the country and overseas, not to mention the official companies.

However, at the moment of the attack by the gang, there was no way to dispatch the officers to go on business trips. Currently, Jun Kiyohara and the five major officers could only remotely control those branches and the companies in public. The officers as officers were fine, but Jun Kiyohara, the leader of the port mafia, had to handle many things personally.

If the officers were in the branch, they could handle some matters directly, but now all matters are on Kiyohara Jun.

Today he saw that Gin and Takuto both had dark circles under their eyes, and Kiyohara Jun didn't think he would be an exception.

While his mind was wandering, he mechanically signed the documents that had already been processed and only needed to be signed. Qingyuan Jun thought with a bit of humor that this was also a kind of relaxation.

I wonder who he can recruit to handle the documents... Kiyohara Jun missed Morobushi Kagemitsu who was still undercover under him for a long time. Although Morobushi Kagemitsu was an undercover, he was a perfect subordinate.

Why are most of his subordinates martial artists? When thinking of the brothers Nakahara Chuuya and Weilun, Kiyohara Jun couldn't help but have a headache.
