Chapter 143 The New Leader of the Black Lizards
In the chief's office on the top floor of Yokohama's landmark Minato Kuroko Building, gin, vodka, Chianti and cohen that had just been taken out of the Public Security Headquarters by the Special Powers Division were lined up, waiting for the boss to announce his new arrangements.
Unlike Gin and Vodka who were in a stable state of mind, Chianti and Cohen couldn't help but secretly exchange glances with each other. They were brought here without knowing anything at all, and it was not until they met up with Gin downstairs that they learned the "truth" from Gin.
For example, the boss of the organization was replaced several years ago, and the new boss is Douma, the former cadre and current leader of the Port Mafia, a partner they have heard of.
After Chianti and Cohen digested this fact, they couldn't help but think about it in horror: he managed to take over two organizations without making any noise, Douma... no, Lord Douma is really not an ordinary person.
The debuff of awe began to accumulate on Douma as he remained silent. Chianti and Cohen, who were originally standing in a leisurely manner, unconsciously straightened up. After all, neither of them was familiar with Douma's personality, and this was even their first meeting. No one knew what the final result would be.
Douma, who was considered by the two men to hold the power of judgment, held his chin in his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and with his other hand he flipped through the suggestions that Morio had just handed over, which were about how to deal with the vacancies in the middle and senior management of the Port Mafia and the incorporation of personnel into the Black Organization.
At the bottom of the document, it was clearly written in black and white that it was recommended that the senior officials of the Black Organization be first incorporated into the Black Lizard Force directly under the boss, and then redistributed according to their abilities and subsequent merits.
This is what makes Douma laugh and cry, Gin and his friends were senior officers in the Black Organization after all, but after being merged into the Port Mafia by him, they were directly downgraded to ordinary Black Lizard members. This is not appropriate and too insulting.
With just this one suggestion, Morioga's little thoughts were so obvious that they were eye-catching, and Douma couldn't pretend not to see them.
However, Douma did give up the idea of directly filling the vacant cadre position with Gin after hearing Mori Ougai's proposal.
Currently, the five major cadres of the Port Mafia are not fully staffed. The four cadres in order of seniority are: Ozaki Kouyo, the pianist, Dazai Osamu, and A.
Not to mention Officer A, who seems to be there just to make up the numbers and doesn't fit in with the others, there is also a vacant officer position in the Port Mafia that was vacated after Douma took over.
Originally, Douma was planning to promote Gin directly to a cadre, but with what happened to Mori Gugai today, it became difficult to do so. It's not that he couldn't suppress the objections from Mori Gugai, but Mori Gugai reminded Douma that he might need to pay attention to the voices within the organization.
Paratroopers will never be welcomed by the natives, so it would be better for Gin to go to the Black Lizard for training for a while. After he has accumulated enough merits, no one will be dissatisfied. However, his position cannot be arranged according to Moriogai's ill-intentioned suggestion.
After thinking this through, Douma closed the document that contained the murderous intention, ignored the intrigues, and announced: "The four of you will go to the Black Lizard for a while, and I will make other arrangements for you after a while."
The four of them nodded in unison, "Yes, boss."
Seeing that no one raised any objections and that their attitude after being demoted was very upright, Douma was in a good mood and raised his lips, comforting them at the right time: "Gin, the Black Lizards are my direct combat unit. From now on, you will be responsible for leading them. I will let Master Guangjin help you. He is an old member of the organization and has a lot of experience."
When he said this, Douma couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
After all, Master Guangjin has a lot of experience. Such a veteran of three dynasties has been staying in the position of Centurion of the Black Lizards without moving. After the previous Black Lizards commander Dazai Osamu was finally promoted to a cadre and the position was vacant, he parachuted in Gin.
But this is the most suitable position that Douma can think of for Gin. It is neither too high nor too low. It is the best position to place a cadre candidate, and it will not humiliate such a capable and loyal subordinate like Gin. He just needs to wait for the right time to promote the person.
Douma, who had gradually lost his conscience since becoming the boss, apologized to Master Guangjin in his heart, and then looked at Vodka without any guilt: "You will be the deputy and assist Gin in managing the black lizards."
When Vodka heard the boss asking him to assist Brother Gin, he immediately grinned and promised happily: "Yes, I will do my best to assist Brother in his work."
This caused Gin to give him an ambiguous look, and he rejected him.jpg
That fanboy's face is so familiar, and wherever he looks, there are believers (crossed out). Douma, who is a fanboy, can't help but twitch his lips, and then remembers that this is Gin's fanboy, not his fanboy. Oh, then it's okay. (bushi)
After arranging the positions of several people in the port mafia, Douma called the insider to call Hirotsu Liulang. After a brief introduction between the two parties, Douma asked Gin and others to go out first, leaving only Hirotsu Liulang.
"Boss?" Hirotsu Liulang looked up at Douma with doubt and respect, without a trace of dissatisfaction in his expression or demeanor.
Seeing Master Guangjin's reaction, Douma's conscience, which was gradually turning into that of a capitalist, felt a little pang. He spoke with great difficulty, "I'm sorry, Master Guangjin, I didn't choose to give you a promotion this time."
Guangjin Liulang was stunned when he heard this. His originally serious expression collapsed and he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha - I thought you asked me to stay because you wanted to tell me something important, but I didn't expect it was just such a trivial matter."
As he was speaking, the smile on Guangjin Liulang's face faded, and he became serious again. He bowed slightly to Douma with a solemn attitude, and said firmly and tolerantly: "Boss, please rest assured. I understand your concerns and will not mind it."
"That's good." Douma walked up to Hirotsu Liulang and helped him up, patting him on the shoulder affectionately: "I was really worried that you would be unhappy because of this, old man."
Feeling Douma's closeness, Hirotsu Liulang also closed the distance appropriately and said jokingly: "How could that be? I know exactly how capable I am, and now the position of centurion is just right for me."
After hearing what Hirotsu Liulang said, Douma couldn't help but carefully distinguish the truth of this sentence. Combined with the development of the original work of "Bunno", he felt that it was highly credible.
In the original story, after Dazai Osamu defected, the person who took over the position of leader of the Black Lizards was his student Akutagawa Ryunosuke, not the veteran centurion Hirotsu Ryūran. Judging from the subsequent reactions, Hirotsu Ryūran did not harbor any resentment towards Akutagawa Ryūnosuke because of this.
Thinking of this, Douma's last bit of guilt disappeared, and he said a few words of encouragement to Guangjin Liulang before letting him leave.
As soon as Hirotsu Liulang walked out of the door of the leader's office, Mori Ogai, who was extremely well-informed, came over and ran into Gin, who had just joined the Port Mafia and was severely targeted by him.
The two guys, who were equally inhuman, immediately understood each other's identities after just one encounter, and were both filled with shock and fear.
The difference is that Mori Ogai instantly came up with a series of conspiracies and schemes, and associated Douma's acquisition of the Black Organization with countless different plans and action routes, in which Gin played various but important roles.
Gin's train of thought was much more plain and simple (?). Like every one of Douma's followers (crossing out) his subordinates, the first thing he noticed was that he had a new rival competing with him for the boss's attention. What's even more terrifying is that this rival is also the boss's closest descendant.
Gin: Damn it, this doctor who looks so sinister, why is he valued by the boss like me?
Mori Ogai: ??? When I type this question mark, it’s not because I have a problem, but because I think you have a problem.jpg
The two people, who were in the same frequency yet seemed to be out of the same frequency, stared at each other. The remaining people in the corridor were all as quiet as chickens. No one was willing to be the one who sacrificed himself to interrupt the confrontation between the two.
The few bottles of real liquor from the original distillery were because they were afraid of Gin's daily tyranny. The reputation of the Cleaners organization was not blown out, it was the result of the blood of countless undercover agents and traitors.
The guards at the door knew too well how evil Sen Ouwai's heart was, so they naturally didn't want to be the first to take action. As long as these two people didn't force their way into the leader's office, it would be none of their business.
The delicate atmosphere ended when the door suddenly opened. As soon as Guangjin Liulang walked out of the door, he ran into the Shura field that made him want to turn back the same way. You know, the reason why he can live safely in the port mafia to this age is that he is smart enough and will not get involved in things that should not be mixed up.
Obviously, in the eyes of the experienced Hirotsu Liulang, the obvious disagreement between Mori Ogai and Gin was one of the things he should not have mixed up.
But the problem is, there are some things that he doesn't have to mix in if he doesn't want to. Thinking of this, Guangjin Liulang sighed in his heart, stepped forward helplessly to stop the two from looking at each other, and then turned to Mori Ogai to introduce his new boss: "Mr. Mori, this is Mr. Gin, the new commander that the boss just assigned to the Black Lizard."
"The...new commander of the Black Lizard?" Mori Ogai raised his eyebrows and almost immediately understood that Douma was planning to arrange Gin into a cadre position in the future.
The leader of the black lizards is one of the best positions a cadre candidate can get, which represents the boss's absolute trust and reliance on him.
This Gin doesn't look easy to deal with. Mori Ogai thought calmly, and at the same time, the hostility in his body faded away. He smiled like a gentle doctor and stretched out his right hand to Gin, saying hello: "Welcome, welcome Gin to join the Port Mafia, I am Mori Ogai."
Gin also laughed, but there was a little more malice in that smile. He also stretched out his hand, but when Moriowa was about to hold it, he slapped the hand away with a snap, and said in an arrogant and cold voice: "Oh, it's you, the waste that was kicked off the stage by the boss."
