Chapter 159 Time is running out
Karasuma Shouma and Douma had only met once at an auction, so they were certainly not familiar with each other, and he was unable to tell the subtle differences between Douma's and Dazai Osamu's voices.
Therefore, after discovering that Dazai Osamu's voice was exactly the same as the minister in his memory, Karasuma Shoma couldn't help showing such a shocked expression, and secretly guessed in his heart what the relationship between this Mr. Dazai and the minister in Yokohama was.
As soon as Dazai Osamu raised his eyelids, he could see that Karasuma Shoma's poor little head was thinking about something. Because he was impatient to have more unnecessary exchanges with such a fool, he directly threw away the answer that was tangled in the other party's heart: "The boss and I have nothing to do with each other. The similarity of voices is just a pure coincidence."
"Oh, is that so?" Although he responded like this, Karasuma Shouma didn't really believe it. He only nodded subconsciously because of the intimidating look on him. As a result, he accidentally pulled the wound on his head: "Ouch - it hurts."
Dazai Osamu looked coldly at Karasuma Shoma, who was sitting on the hospital bed, holding his head and wailing, and said casually, "Mr. Karasuma, please be careful."
The caring voice was very similar to that of the nobleman, and it frightened Karasuma Shoma so much that he immediately stopped crying out in pain. He looked cautiously at the black-haired, eagle-eyed young man standing at the door, as if he was confirming something.
Only when he was 100% sure that the Mr. Dazai in front of him was not the one he had in mind, Karasuma Shoma breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Hiss - I'm sorry, I was a little rude just now. But Mr. Dazai, you can see that my uncles and aunts who should have gone to hell long ago really wanted to kill me. This time, I was almost killed by the pain."
Listening to Karasuma Shoma cursing and complaining about his relatives in anger, Dazai Osamu just raised his eyebrows with a heart of stone, without any emotion in his heart, and even wanted to laugh.
Before entering the room, Dazai Osamu went to the nurse in advance and asked for Karasuma Shoma's medical record.
Dazai Osamu knew exactly how serious the injuries on Karasuma Shoma were, but the other party acted as if he was dying despite such minor injuries. It was already a great favor to him that he didn't laugh on the spot, not to mention that he went over to cooperate with the performance of this useless young master.

He didn't want to cooperate, but he didn't show his true colors yet. He just put on a basic show of politeness. He took off his business smile and replaced it with a worried and angry expression: "Those people are really too much. They actually treated Mr. Karasuma like this."
This scene shows a common hatred of the enemy. Both the facial expressions and the dialogues deserve full marks. It would be better if Dazai Osamu's tone was not so impressive.
Karasuma Shoma wasn't so stupid that he couldn't hear a word. His face froze and his hands hidden in the quilt clenched into fists. A heat rushed to his cheeks out of shame and a slight blush appeared on his face. However, he could only comfort himself in his heart that this was just a case of a tiger being bullied by a dog, and a man under someone's roof had to bow his head. He could endure it!
After taking several deep breaths and calming himself down, Karasuma Shoma regrouped and looked up stiffly at Dazai Osamu who didn't take him seriously at all. He said dryly, "Yes, I just hope Mr. Dazai can lend me a hand and get rid of those annoying flies."
"No problem." Dazai Osamu responded nonchalantly, half lowering his head to smooth out the last wrinkles on his sleeves. When he raised his head again, his aura changed. "After all, it's the boss's request. Mr. Karasuma, just leave everything to me. I can solve all the problems quickly."
Karasuma Shoma was originally disdainful of Dazai Osamu's arrogant tone, but when his eyes met those iris-colored eyes that were like the embodiment of the abyss, the doubts in his heart immediately disappeared.
This was also the first time that Karasuma Shoma truly realized that Mr. Dazai sent by Lord Douma was not a simple person, and that the rumors he had heard earlier might not be exaggerated, but were facts in a sense.
Thinking of what Dazai Osamu had done in the past few years as recorded in the intelligence, Karasuma Sho couldn't help but shudder, and no longer dared to put on his airs as a rich young master.
Enduring a slight dizziness, Karasuma Shoma climbed down from the bed obediently, took out the information he had prepared from the cabinet beside the bed, and respectfully handed it to the black-haired young man who was still standing at the door with no intention of coming in: "This is the information I prepared for you. It contains the phone numbers of my assistant and confidants. They will cooperate with all your actions throughout the process."
"It would have been better if you did this earlier." Dazai Osamu looked down at Karasuma Shoma who was becoming more and more timid, and deliberately snatched the stack of information from his hand with an unpleasant look, and threw down a sentence "Wait for my good news." Then, regardless of the people behind him trying to keep him, he turned around, opened the door, and walked out of the single room.
When the door closed again, Dazai Osamu smiled at the door in the empty hospital corridor: Very good, in less than 20 minutes, I have successfully taken the initiative. When Karasuma Sho is well and discharged from the hospital, there will be a wonderful "good news" waiting for him. If Karasuma Sho can really agree that the Karasuma Group, which originally belonged to him, has a new owner, it is good news.
Originally, Dazai Osamu planned to coax (cross out) Karasuma Sho in a gentle manner to stabilize him, but he never expected that the plan would not change quickly enough.
After only one encounter, Dazai Osamu realized that the original plan needed to be modified. This silly young master turned out to be a masochist who would only respond to hard tactics and not soft tactics. A gentle communication method would only make Karasuma Shoma become more aggressive and find fault with him. It would be better to take a tougher attitude and suppress him directly.
The result was just as Dazai had expected. Karasuma Shoma, who was used to treating people differently, changed his arrogant attitude and became more talkative after realizing that Dazai was not someone to be trifled with.
Sure enough, compared to the arrogant little rooster, he still likes the trembling quail more, especially the arrogant little rooster who originally looked down on people, but was scared by him into a trembling quail.
Dazai Osamu, who was a little bit vindictive, smiled with his eyebrows curved, and left the hospital in a black suit that had been guarding the door, to carry out his next plan: to reach a strategic alliance with the unlucky (crossed out) Mussel Society.
Mussel Club, a new force active in Tokyo's nightlife.
Unlike the old-line hei gangs in Tokyo who are content with the status quo, the Mussel Club, as a rising star, lacks respect for the old predecessors and is only interested in expanding its own power and territory. This is exactly one of the characteristics that Dazai Osamu looks for in his first choice when selecting partners to be eliminated.
In addition, the Qingkou Society has always had an ambiguous relationship with the Karasuma family. They have been very close in recent years and seem to be secretly supporting a member of the Karasuma family. The person who attacked Karasuma Shoma is very likely to have been instructed by the Qingkou Society.
With these two factors combined, the Mussel Club was successfully selected and chosen by Dazai Osamu to become the first sacrifice for the Port Mafia to take over Tokyo.
As for the candidate supported by the Qingkou Club, he is different from Karasuma Shoma, who was chosen by their Port Mafia. If you think about it carefully, they are in a hostile relationship. So they will not accept the cooperation invitation from the Port Mafia?
Dazai Osamu, who is full of intelligence and eloquence: Why not, isn’t this a very simple thing?
The fooled president of the Mussels Association: Mr. Dazai is right, it is our honor to cooperate with the Port Mafia. Please let our Mussels Association join this great plan!
"Great plan?" The man in the black suit who followed Dazai left without understanding what he was saying. He rubbed his cheek in confusion and asked cautiously, "Lord Dazai, aren't we here to annex the Mussel Club?"
The right hand that was shaking the wine glass and playing with the ice cubes stopped in mid-air. Dazai opened his eyes upon hearing this, glanced at his wooden-headed subordinate without any meaning, and suddenly sighed sincerely: "Ah - I really shouldn't have blamed Akutagawa for not understanding my orders."
Because the people under him are much more difficult to reason with than Akutagawa Ryunosuke who seems to be unable to understand human language. Perhaps they have balloons on their necks instead of brains.
Dazai Osamu spent three seconds regretting that he did not bring Akutagawa Ryunosuke on this business trip, and secretly vowed that the next time he went on a mission, he would definitely bring his own student who was about to explode in school with him.
Next time for sure.jpg
Fortunately, the people under Dazai Osamu still have some advantages. Maybe they are not smart enough, but they are obedient enough. They will complete any order given by Dazai Osamu without any compromise.
It is this point that allows Dazai Osamu to tolerate the stupidity of his subordinates. After all, you can't ask them to be blindly loyal and obedient, and also ask them to be flexible and adaptable. It's also good to have tools that can be completely controlled by him.
"Let's use the mussels to explore the way first, and then catch them all in one fell swoop when the time comes." After briefly explaining his plan to his men, Dazai Osamu put down the wine glass in his hand.
The slight knocking sound of the wine glass against the table caused the man in the black suit behind Dazai Osamu to shrink his neck. He secretly warned himself that next time he must not ask such stupid questions that would make Dazai-sama angry.
The box was completely quiet. After a busy day, Dazai Osamu leaned back on the gorgeous dark red high-end sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
The man in the black suit dared not say a word upon seeing this, and even held his breath, as if he was worried that his breathing was too loud and would disturb others. After all, no one knew how terrifying Lord Dazai was better than those of them who had been following Lord Dazai for so many years.
Dazai Osamu, who was regarded as a monster by his subordinates, took a light nap on the sofa for a while. When he opened his eyes again, he was full of energy again and carried out the next plan without stopping.
Seeing that Dazai Osamu didn't seem to be planning on taking a good rest, the man in the black suit boldly approached Dazai Osamu and whispered, "Dazai-sama, why don't you go to the hotel and rest for a night?"
Unlike a rough man like him, Lord Dazai is not in very strong health and needs adequate rest.
"That's not necessary." Dazai Osamu coldly cut off his subordinates' concerns. He could see their concerns.
It's just that time is tight, he must arrange everything before Chuuya returns home, otherwise he can imagine how that guy who always claims that he can still grow taller will laugh at him, that won't be enough!
