Chapter 167: Making Wedding Dresses for Others?

As Douma chewed and swallowed, the medicinal power of the blue spider lily began to take effect.

A light warm current slowly spreads along the esophagus to the whole body. The whole person feels like soaking in warm water and enjoying the gentle massage of the water. Even the fingertips feel incredibly comfortable. Douma can't help but close his eyes and let out a comfortable sigh.

After a long while, this obviously unusual feeling of comfort slowly disappeared, but the aftertaste that remained on his body still made Tongma too lazy to lift his eyelids or even move a finger.

It was not until three regular knocks on the door that Douma, who had fallen into a deep sleep, was awakened. He reluctantly opened one eye and looked at the monitor beside the table. What came into his sight was the surveillance footage of the door of his office.

In the top-down shot, it is Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya who have just returned to Yokohama from Tokyo.

Seeing that it was the two great heroes who wanted to see him, Douma sat up straight with his boneless body, pressed the button to open the door, and asked the guard at the door to let them in.

Outside the door, the guard who received the notification nodded to the air, then took three or two steps forward to help Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya open the door, and bowed to the two respectfully and said, "Dazai-sama, Chuuya-sama, please come in quickly, the boss is waiting for you inside."

"Okay, thank you." Nakahara Chuuya patted the guard on the shoulder, then walked past him and stepped into the open door side by side with Dazai Osamu.

While there was still time, Dazai glanced at Nakahara Chuuya and whispered, "Chuuya is always so popular. Even the guard at the boss's gate is familiar with you."

Nakahara Chuuya did not think deeply about the implications of Dazai Osamu's words. Instead, his cheeks slightly blushed, and he pulled the brim of his hat shyly, and said modestly: "Really? My popularity is just average."

"..." Dazai Osamu was speechless. The point of his previous words was not about popularity at all! Wasn't the point that Chuuya was too close to the boss's guards, which could easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings?

Dazai Osamu paused and stared at Nakahara Chuuya's clear and stupid cobalt blue eyes for three seconds. Finally, he shrugged helplessly and sighed: "Forget it, as long as you are happy."

Although no one knows what has suddenly gone wrong with Dazai Osamu, the experience gained from years of getting along with each other tells Nakahara Chuuya that there is a high probability that his intelligence has been despised by that extremely cunning bluefin tuna again.

If he hadn't been concerned that they had already stepped into the boss's sight, Nakahara Chuuya would probably not have been able to suppress the sudden urge to have another fight with Dazai Osamu.

After taking a deep breath, Nakahara Chuuya no longer paid attention to Dazai Osamu who was provoking him again (?), and stopped in the middle of the hall. He took off his hat and put it on his chest, then knelt on one knee in front of Douma who was sitting at the top, bowed his head and said: "Boss, I'm back."

Before he finished speaking, Douma, who was originally sitting high on the leader's throne, appeared in front of Nakahara Chuuya in the blink of an eye, and stretched out his hand to help him up: "Chuuya, why are you suddenly doing this kind of courtesy? It's unnecessary, it's really unnecessary."

The irresistible force coming from his arms, Zhongyuan Zhongye could only stand up with the force, and then greeted him seriously: "It's been a long time since we last met, boss, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Douma replied briefly, and then said with concern: "Chuuya, you encountered several battles right after getting off the plane. Did your body feel exhausted?"

Chuuya Nakahara is their port mafia, a big treasure who is a model worker, a ceiling of combat power, and the last conscience. His hardworking and uncomplaining level can only be compared to Gin, who he plucked from the set of "Detective Conan". If he gets tired and hurts his body, he will be heartbroken. Douma, a capitalist (bushi) who deserves to be hung on the street light, thinks so.

Douma's constant concern and care made Nakahara Chuuya very moved, but Dazai Osamu on the side couldn't stand it anymore, his hair almost stood on end because of the disgusting look of these two people!

"Ahem." Dazai Osamu cleared his throat, interrupting the interaction that made him feel uncomfortable, and quickly brought the topic back to business: "Boss, this trip was quite rewarding. The three largest gangs in Tokyo, the Heshan Society, the Takasaki Group, and the Gokuye Society, have all been taken into our hands. The remaining gangs that are medium-sized or larger have also been planted with our nails, and we are just waiting for the follow-up plan to deploy them."

In fact, the expansion progress of the port mafia this time is more than what Dazai Osamu mentioned.

There are also many cities outside of Tokyo that Dazai Osamu did not mention that have fallen under the violence of the port mafia, and the person who is tasked with carrying out this task happens to be another model worker that Douma just cued, Gin.

"You did a great job this time." Douma praised generously, and at the same time, he did not forget to single out the person who came up with this brilliant plan and praised him individually: "As expected of Dazai-kun, only you can come up with such a plan."

Douma was not saying this nonsense. When it comes to the ability to write scripts, Mori Ogai, as Dazai Osamu's teacher, is actually not that weak.

At least this is the case compared to Dazai Osamu, who is only 20 years old. He is even more cruel than Dazai Osamu. The nickname of Mori Ogumi human-type AI is not for nothing. After all, since ancient times, there have only been wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.

The reason why Douma said this is because Dazai Osamu has a quality that Mori Gugai can never have, that is, Dazai Osamu can break away from the ordinary thinking mode and walk out an unprecedented path, but Mori Gugai is not good at this. (Here @ Natsume Soseki who introduced the concept of three moments to Mori Gugai)

The Mori Ogai who was being trampled on/Natsume Soseki: …

What was going on in Douma's mind was naturally unknown to the praised Dazai Osamu. He was almost accustomed to not being able to see through his boss's thoughts.

Therefore, Dazai Osamu, who was unaware of his resentful teacher and was severely belittled by Douma in his heart, just smiled faintly in response: "Boss, thank you for your compliments, it's just some superficial strategies."

Douma pretended not to hear Dazai's Versailles speech which was overly humble and arrogant, and started to spend money, giving out large amounts of rewards to the intellectual leaders of their port mafia without any regrets.

What if he gives too little and Dazai goes to the Armed Detective Agency like in the original novel? With this worry in mind, Douma gives Dazai a villa as an officer benefit and says in a heartless voice: "I heard that Dazai-kun has been living in a container by the dock. Why didn't you tell me if you were short of money? The Port Mafia doesn't lack houses for officers."

Even Dazai Osamu, who didn't care about these material things, was caught off guard by Douma's sudden and generous move.

In front of his boss, it would be difficult for Dazai Osamu to say directly, "He is not short of money at all. If he needs money, he can just steal Chuuya's black card and use it." That would be strange.

Yes, Dazai Osamu said that in front of the person involved, Nakahara Chuuya.

However, compared to Dazai Osamu's unrestrained attitude, Nakahara Chuuya, who abides by the rules and respects his boss more, obviously would not fight with others in front of Douma like Dazai Osamu. The focus is on others.

Facing the sarcasm-filled Dazai Osamu, Nakahara Chuuya couldn't help but transform into an impulsive elementary school kid and "gently" elbowed Dazai Osamu in the abdomen, but Dazai Osamu dodged it accurately, and attacked again, and dodged again.

The Nth competition between the two elementary school students (crossed out) begins.

Douma watched the two black guys' repertoire with interest for a while before interrupting the two who were about to get into a heated fight: "Okay, the two of you stop fighting. If you want to fight, go to the dance studio."

"?" Before Chuuya Nakahara could figure out why the boss wanted them to fight in the dance studio, he heard Douma continue, "Chuuya, the mission in Europe was completed beautifully. Congratulations, you have been qualified for promotion to officer."

"?!" The sudden promotion and salary increase hit Nakahara Chuuya's head, making him feel unreal for a moment, but he quickly reacted and responded excitedly: "Thank you for your trust in me and entrusting me with such an important responsibility. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

After announcing this big news, there was nothing else important to say, so Douma didn't keep the two of them for long.

When he was the only one left in the room, Douma muttered to himself thoughtfully, "Since Chuuya has been promoted to an officer, Gin can't be partial to one and promote them both."

Soon, the news that the boss had appointed two new cadres spread throughout the port mafia, and everyone from top to bottom knew about it.

As for Mr. A, who was supposed to be a cadre, surprisingly no one mentioned him. Even his mysterious disappearance did not cause any splash in the port mafia. It can be said that he has very bad popularity.

In sharp contrast to Mr. A, who has extremely poor interpersonal relationships, the two new cadres, Chuuya Nakahara and Gin, not only were there no doubts after the news came out, but people who came to congratulate them even broke down the doorsteps of their offices.

After a brief celebration, the port mafia returned to its expansion efforts.

The only difference from before is that in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the government, all the actions of the Port Mafia were hidden extremely deeply. The nails that Dazai Osamu planted in various gangs in various places in the early stage played a huge role, and many places quietly became territories under the jurisdiction of the Port Mafia.

Just when everything was going well, Fukuchi Sakurachi, who had been secretly keeping an eye on the port mafia, could no longer sit still.

Others may not know what the port mafia is doing privately, but Fukuchi Sakurachi, as the leader of the Five Evils of Heaven, knows it very well. He has the intelligence collected by the Death House Rats under Fyodor, and he knows much more than those stupid officials who turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.

In order to prevent their grand plan of becoming the most suitable stepping stone for the Port Mafia from failing, Fukuchi Sakurachi had to contact his subordinates scattered around the world and start their actions in advance.

"To help others?" Fukuchi Sakura hung up the last call foolishly, exerted force on her hand, and crushed the communicator in her palm: "Absolutely impossible!"
