Chapter 84



"Yes." Kiyohara Jun's eyes were still fixed on the ice ball in the wine glass. The ice ball had begun to melt and became smaller than when he just sat down. Hearing Natsume Soseki's question, he said without hesitation, "I will be the one who lets the port mafia bring peace to Yokohama."

"You are very confident." When he heard Kiyohara Jun answer his question without hesitation, Natsume Soseki did not show any surprise. His voice became gentler. "It is a good thing for young people to be confident."

If Kiyohara Jun was not so confident, Natsume Soseki would have to worry whether Kiyohara Jun had the sharpness needed to allow the port mafia to rule Yokohama.

After Natsume Soseki said, "It's a good thing for young people to have confidence," neither Natsume Soseki nor Kiyohara Jun said anything else, and Lupin Bar fell into silence.

Jun Qingyuan stared at the melting ice ball in the wine glass in front of him. His attention seemed to be completely attracted by the ice ball, as if it was some kind of rare treasure.

The size of the ice ball has shrunk again.

Jun Kiyohara picked up the glass and took a sip of the whiskey in the glass. Because the ice ball melted and released water, the taste of the whiskey was a little lighter than before, but Jun Kiyohara didn't care about this. He just silently took sip after sip of the whiskey.

Even though Natsume Soseki and Kiyohara Jun didn't talk to each other, the atmosphere in the bar didn't become dull.

Jun Kiyohara slowly sipped the glass of whiskey prepared for him by Natsume Soseki. After a while, half of the glass of whiskey had disappeared.

In the end, the person who spoke first was Natsume Soseki.

However, although Natsume Soseki was the first to speak, it does not mean that Natsume Soseki was the one who was more impatient.

"How's your alcohol tolerance?" Natsume Soseki said with a smile, "If you can't drink well and your drinking habits are not good, I don't want to see the new leader of the port mafia go crazy here."

"I can drink a lot, and I'm a good drinker." Kiyohara Jun put down the wine glass in his hand. For some reason, his voice, which usually did not carry a trace of emotion, sounded a little dull at this moment. However, Natsume Soseki did not hear the emotion in his voice.

If Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya, who were familiar with Kiyohara Jun, were here, they would definitely notice this and be surprised.

In fact, Jun Kiyohara was a little at a loss when facing Natsume Soseki.

Throughout Kiyohara Jun's life, except for when his parents were still alive when he was a child, no one ever played the role of an elder in his life. Even the colonel who once promoted him did not treat Kiyohara Jun as an elder would treat a younger person, because Kiyohara Jun had already become a promising mafia man and would most likely be on the same side with him in the future.

So when facing Natsume Soseki, who treated him like an elder to a younger person even though he didn't know him at all when they first met, Kiyohara Jun felt a little emotional for some reason.

Kiyohara Jun didn't know why this happened. He and Natsume Soseki had never met each other before, but he rarely felt emotional because of Natsume Soseki.

Why is this happening? Kiyohara Jun felt a little confused.

This was the second time tonight that Jun Qingyuan felt confused because of his emotional fluctuations.

Kiyohara Jun suppressed his inner confusion. He only spoke to Natsume Soseki again after he successfully recovered to his normal state.

"I thought you would ask me why I don't support the three-minute concept." Qingyuan Jun looked at the ice ball that was partially exposed to the air because the wine glass was half empty, and said lightly.

"Haha." Hearing Kiyohara Jun's words, Natsume Soseki laughed out loud. His laughter was very hearty, and his gray eyes were full of smiles. He picked up the wine pot in front of him and filled himself with another glass of sake. While sipping the sake, he said in a calm voice, "Since I proposed the three-minute concept, I naturally know the disadvantages of the three-minute concept. The disadvantages of the three-minute concept, I can talk about it all night long."

"But I can't find a plan to replace Sanke's idea." Natsume Soseki said his own powerlessness lightly. He once felt pain for his powerlessness, but now he was indifferent, as if these things that once made him feel painful no longer affected him. "I have felt pain before, and I have also thought about the plan you proposed for a certain organization to rule Yokohama."

"But let alone the Yokohama government's organization, even the underworld organizations don't have this kind of power." Natsume Soseki smiled and shook his head. His voice was full of sorrow, but also full of determination. "Instead of reluctantly supporting an organization, it is better to use the three-moment concept with many disadvantages."

[Oh my god…]

[I was shocked by Natsume-sensei]

[I really didn't expect Natsume Soseki to think this way. I thought he didn't have a unified concept, but it turns out it was because he didn't have a suitable organization.]

[Hehehe, now that our Jun has appeared, Master Natsume can rest assured and just leave everything to Jun! ]

After hearing what Natsume Soseki said, Kiyohara Jun fell silent.

He did not expect that Natsume Soseki himself chose to implement the Three-minute Concept in Yokohama because he had no alternative plan to the Three-minute Concept.

All of Kiyohara Jun's original assumptions about Natsume Soseki had been overturned by him, and replaced by an image that was much taller than the original one.

As expected of Mr. Mori's teacher. Kiyohara Jun thought that the person who could become Mr. Mori's teacher who was willing and convinced by him was not an ordinary person, nor was he the strong person with supernatural powers or the "genius" in politics as he imagined.

"You've changed your mind now." Kiyohara Jun said in a voice without any emotion. He looked extremely calm. "Is it because the Port Mafia has become an organization with that kind of power?"

Although it was a question, Kiyohara Jun's answer was extremely firm.

"Yes." Natsume Soseki smiled and poured himself another glass of sake. "The current strength of the Port Mafia is no longer the same as before. Not to mention the number of people with special abilities, you have two Transcendents in secret, which Japan does not have. In Yokohama, or even in Japan, is there any organization stronger than you?"

"I know you are not a radical person. You would rather develop your organization steadily than expand it blindly. Otherwise, I am afraid that the entire Kanto region and even the Japanese underworld organizations will be worried about their safety in the next two years. I am also worried that the port mafia will expand too quickly and cause a series of problems, making it impossible for Yokohama to maintain peace."

[Fuck, is Mr. Natsume a great prophet?]

[Isn't this the Port Mafia from the beast line that just came out without Jun?]

[If the book wasn't with Dazai, I would have suspected that Natsume Soseki got the book and saw a parallel world]

When Jun Kiyohara heard Natsume Soseki mention that the Port Mafia was hiding two transcendents, he was not surprised. In his opinion, since Natsume Soseki was able to allow Sanke's plan to be carried out smoothly, he must have his own exclusive information channel.

Moreover, as Mr. Mori's teacher, Kiyohara Jun does not think that Mr. Mori, who is the leader of the Port Mafia and a member of the Three-Season Concept Plan, would hide the true strength of the Port Mafia from his teacher.

In Kiyohara Jun's opinion, the Three-Minute Plan was able to be carried out smoothly and was already showing signs of gradual success. This was inseparable from the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Natsume Soseki, who proposed the plan. He must have been observing the three organizations implementing the Three-Minute Plan somewhere to ensure that the Three-Minute Plan could be implemented smoothly.

Although many thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he even praised Natsume Soseki in his thoughts, Kiyohara Jun still had an expressionless look on the surface.

After saying these words, Kiyohara Jun and Natsume Soseki fell into silence again. They both drank their own wine and did not speak to each other.

Just like that, before the ice ball he had been observing for a long time completely melted, Kiyohara Jun finally finished the glass of Scotch whisky, which tasted lighter and lighter as the ice ball kept melting.

"I'm leaving." After finishing the glass of wine, Kiyohara Jun finally spoke. He lowered his eyes slightly, and the shadows cast by his eyelashes made it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes. But listening to his extremely calm voice, it seemed that he still looked expressionless.

"Let's go." After hearing what Kiyohara Jun said, Natsume Soseki put down his wine glass.

"Before you go, I want to ask you one last question." Natsume Soseki's voice suddenly became a little hard, and the gentleness in his voice disappeared completely. "Do you know books?"

"..." Kiyohara Jun chose to remain silent. He did not answer Natsume Soseki's question.

However, his silence is the best answer at this moment.

Natsume Soseki had previously suspected that the book was in the hands of Kiyohara Jun because of some of Kiyohara Jun's performances in anticipating the enemy. But today, seeing Kiyohara Jun's silence after he asked this question, Natsume Soseki thought he already knew the answer.

"Use it well." Natsume Soseki's voice returned to gentleness. "I believe you, but you have to hide the traces of the good book."

When hearing what Natsume Soseki said, a light bulb went off in Kiyohara Jun's head.

Fedor specifically wanted to meet him, and he found out the reason why the group was looking for cooperation with the port mafia.

Some people, like Natsume Soseki, believe that the book is in his hands.

Kiyohara Jun still had that expressionless look on his face. He did not deny to Natsume Soseki that the book was with him. After all, he was much better at fighting than Dazai, and he had the help of the bullet screen. It was always better for the enemy to come at him than at Dazai.

Thinking of this, Kiyohara Jun lowered his eyes.
