Chapter 160 Sixteen Vigilantes

"You mean, not only is he unwilling to cooperate with us, but he's also in league with that vigilante."

A male voice that was deliberately blurred by electricity rang out from the receiver of the old-fashioned telephone. The tone of the other party sounded calm, but Yamamoto on the other end shuddered reflexively when he heard it: "And you, led seven people to look for them, and in the end you were beaten out by that vigilante alone?"

"No, wait! Please give me another chance, I can definitely complete the task. This time it was an accident, yes, an accident! I have already written a report and sent it to you with the details." Yamamoto moved his body uneasily, his face covered in cold sweat, but he still tried to calm himself down, "Yes, none of us thought that he would call Wuming over directly..."

In front of the person on the other end of the phone, he was completely unable to maintain the composure he had when he first threatened Chi Jiang Na Yue, and was frightened out of his wits.

To be more precise, what frightened Yamamoto so much was not the person who was speaking, but the existence that this person represented.

"You make a lot of sense."

The person on the other end of the phone said calmly: "But the parliament does not need reason, it only needs results."

Yamamoto felt a chill that went straight to his bones. He jumped up from his seat almost instantly. He couldn't help but scream from deep in his throat. The next second, he swallowed the scream back because he was worried about something. He continued to plead with sweat all over his forehead: "I will create value for the council! I can go find Akae Nazuki again now, and this time I will definitely satisfy the council!"

The person on the other side acted as if he hadn't heard what he said and pronounced indifferently: "The parliament is very disappointed in you. The review ends here. Goodbye."

The call was disconnected.

Although he was in a brightly lit study, Yamamoto suddenly felt dark before his eyes and almost collapsed to the ground.

The council that person was talking about was a mysterious underground organization in Tokyo. Even Yamamoto only found out about the council through his connections as his drug smuggling business was getting better and better in recent years, and learned that it was not an urban legend.

This parliament is certainly not that parliament. Despite having such a name, the actual situation is quite different from that parliament.

After the fall of Tokyo ten years ago, those prominent families secretly conspired to form a interest group in order to ensure that their power and influence would not be devoured by the underworld groups that had lost the constraints of the rules, and so that they could have a clear conscience and continue to enjoy their piece of the pie.

At first, the group had no fixed name because no one was convinced by anyone else and no one thought Tokyo would continue to fall.

Until three years later, Tokyo was forced to become independent from other lands because of a strange earthquake, and with the government's decree, it became a city that could be completely controlled in their eyes.

Human greed made them dissatisfied with the status quo: they continued to quietly expand the size of their group, calling themselves the "Parliament", and united forces one after another outside of themselves through economic cooperation and the intimidation of force... These are what they have been doing in secret.

Now, the parliament is gradually able to superficially share the same power with the remaining organizations in Tokyo after Karasuma Renya's death.

Rum did not choose to join because he was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the so-called parliament also absorbed those branches of the organization that defected during the chaos when the organization expanded.

Moreover, as the former head of the organization and now the boss who has successfully usurped the throne, Rum has to consider that the size of the organization is ultimately many times larger than that of the parliament.

If he gets involved, not only will he not get any benefits from the organization, but it is just to alleviate poverty. So why would he do such a thankless task?

Moreover, Rum did not think that the parliament could remain stable for long. After all, a plastic group like this that was easily united by threats and money could also easily collapse from the inside.

Besides! On what basis do they claim to be the crows that secretly control Tokyo, and even want to stifle the people's resistance and turn Tokyo into a place where they have the final say? Rum simply shouldn't look down on this, okay?

Rather than pretending to form a coalition with them and hold a parliament, what Rum wanted to do more was to quickly suppress and bring back the split parts of the organization. He didn't want any allies who were equal to him. Only when all power was in his own hands would the suspicious Rum feel a little relieved.

And that crow.

Even if Karasuma Renya has passed away, even if others don't know the relationship between the Karasuma family and the Karasuma Group and the organization, no matter what, it was their organization that chose this symbol first. Isn't the parliament deliberately trying to make trouble for them?

If people outside say that the parliament is a crow, wouldn't that be embarrassing for their organization?

Because of this, when Akae Nazuki just controlled Rum and accepted the group, he was not aware of the existence of the parliament. He only discovered about the parliament by accident when he used the organization's intelligence network to check the time when Furuya Rei was released.

In this regard, Chijiang Nayue's idea is very similar to Rum's, that is, there is no need for the organization to get involved. After all, the parliament that looks stupid, sounds stupid, and is actually really stupid will collapse sooner or later.

Oh, the difference between Akajina Yue and Rum is that the savior from another world knows clearly in his heart -

He was the 'culprit' that would later cause the collapse of the parliament.

What a joke! How could Akae Nayue allow such a thing to stay in Tokyo? Of course she would find a chance to overthrow the parliament.

As for Yamamoto, after hanging up the phone, he couldn't understand why Wuming showed up at the Chijiang Group tonight. It couldn't be that his casual imagination of sponsorship theory had come true. And looking at Chairman Chijiang's look as if he had expected it, it was very likely that someone had told others in advance that he was coming to visit.

The question is, who could be the traitor?

After learning about the existence of the parliament, Yamamoto frantically tried to find a way to join it. He knew very well what kind of network the parliament had woven in the underground of Tokyo today, and only by joining it could he gain more benefits.

The 'newcomer mission' given to him by the council is to meet Akae Nazuki, who has just arrived in Tokyo and inherited the Karasuma Group and renamed it, and to determine whether he is qualified to join the council.

If the task is completed, the review is passed and everyone is happy; if the task fails, he will lose the qualification to join.

Yamamoto knew that the parliament would not let go of anyone who knew of their existence and was not an insider. Now, let alone the benefits, even their lives would be in danger!

Knowing the importance of this mission, Yamamoto became more cautious. He had not revealed his mission to anyone since the council informed him. So even his bodyguards were hired mercenaries hired temporarily. Just in case, he even hired the most expensive ones. Who knew that they couldn't even withstand a few punches from Wuming.

Yamamoto shuddered again.

With his lightning-fast methods against crime over the past week, his skills that have made no one a match for him, and his armor that is said to be invulnerable even to bullets, Wuming has become a dark cloud hanging over the hearts of Tokyo criminals, and is the first sign of a crime-suppression system that relies on fear.

But people like Yamamoto are not afraid of Wuming.

After all, Wuming is a vigilante, and no matter how vicious the criminals were during this period, Wuming never killed them. He just beat them up until they were paralyzed and then handed them over to the police.

This made people like Yamamoto realize that Wuming did not seem to kill people.

A law-abiding person is no more powerful than an unlawful person. Not killing people may be Wuming's bottom line, but at the same time, it is also Wuming's most obvious weakness that Yamamoto and others can exploit.

Therefore, Yamamoto was more afraid of the council that might send assassins to take down his office at any time than any vigilante.

"We have to think of a way." He muttered to himself, "Chijiang Nayue will not join the council. He is in the same group as Wuming, so he should be killed too!"

The further he spoke, the more ferocious Yamamoto's expression became.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the study door, and Yamamoto yelled impatiently, "Get out!"

The person outside the door ignored him and opened the door directly.

"I told you to get out of here!" Yamamoto yelled, turned around angrily, and immediately became like a chicken with its neck strangled, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"Hi, good evening, my friend." The visitor greeted Yamamoto warmly. He put his right hand wrapped in a black glove and crossed his forehead with two fingers together. He grinned and showed his white teeth. "Don't be so serious. I'm here to play with you~!"

Yamamoto's legs were so weak that he sat on the ground. His face was filled with fear, and his trembling eyes fell on the other person's messy shoulder-length red hair. He raised his head and looked into the pair of dull emerald green eyes.

The red-haired young man was dressed in a suit and tie, and his every move showed a refined and elegant demeanor, but Yamamoto knew this man's true face.

If we say that this week, Nameless made the criminals start to feel scared and they tried their best to avoid being caught by the vigilante, but essentially no one was worried that Nameless would kill them. As long as they kept their lives, even if they were caught by the Metropolitan Police Department, they would be able to get out in no time.

However, that person was different from Asa, who appeared almost immediately after Wuming.

Asa is a complete lunatic! You can't reason with a lunatic, because no one knows what a lunatic wants, and no one can give it to him.

Such uncertainties were naturally the first things the parliament wanted to deal with. As a result, everyone on the periphery, Yamamoto, knew that the assassins sent by the parliament to assassinate Asa and declare their control over Tokyo were all turned into meat paste by this madman and mixed into the flower beds in front of the homes of those parliament members who were dancing the most happily.

From then on, the parliament focused its main target on Akae Nazuki. They estimated that they would not dare to confront Asa head-on in the short term. As for why, an outsider like Yamamoto who had not actually joined the party naturally had no idea.

In short, he knew that this gang had no reason to kill people, it all depended on their mood. If they offended the parliament, they might even lose half their lives in exchange for their interests, but if they offended a lunatic like Asa, they might be turned into new meat paste at any time.

If Yamamoto had the guts to ask at this time, Asa might have been inspired to tell him the truth because Yamamoto was about to go to hell.

For example...

Vigilante Wuming is a symbol of hope for the citizens of Tokyo. He is someone who will never cross that line, so Wuming cannot and will not kill anyone.

But without killing people, there is no way to completely scare these wolves and tigers who will not cry until they see the coffin, so at this time, Asa's presence is very necessary.

Asa looked at Yamamoto, who was crying, and felt inexplicably disgusted with him.

No matter how much you complain, you still have to continue acting.

Yamamoto sat paralyzed, watching Asa close the door with his backhand, sweep all the valuable things on his desk to the ground, then turn over and sit on it with his legs crossed, looking at him leisurely with his chin propped up.

Asa asked, "I heard that you saw him last night?"

He? Who is this he?

Yamamoto felt a chill on his back, and after being confused for half a second, he connected these words to his only action last night.

'He' is Chijiang Nayue.

It’s fine that Wuming is so nervous about protecting the young chairman of the Chijiang Group, but why does Asa also ask this?

He really couldn't figure out Asa's thoughts, so he could only answer tremblingly: "Yes, yes, I went to negotiate a deal with Mr. Chijiang, but it didn't work out."

After getting the answer, Asa looked extremely distressed. The Grok in his hand appeared like a magic trick, rising and falling in the air as he threw and caught, which was frightening to watch.

Asa didn't seem to worry about getting angry at all, and just muttered in an annoyed tone: "It's great - you can see him so easily, I also want to have a good chat with my dear. Hey, let me say."

Asa's voice suddenly stopped, and he looked at Yamamoto with a smile.

"Your name is Yamashita, right? If you tell me now how you came up with this method to attract Xiao Wuming's attention..." The red-haired criminal thought for two seconds and spoke happily.

Yamamoto's eyes sparkled with a ray of hope for life. He rushed forward and shouted, "I said, I can do anything—"

However, without any warning, Asa stopped throwing the gun, then pointed at the surprised man on the ground with an expressionless face and pulled the trigger.

Yamamoto, who thought he could escape with his life, had his eyes wide open, his expression forever frozen in a twisted mixture of surprise and fear. Until his death, he had no idea how he had gotten involved with this psychopath.

Asa lowered his eyes to look at the smoke from the muzzle of the gun, and smiled again.

"Never mind. You certainly don't understand him as well as I do."

Asa jumped down from the table, stepped on Yamamoto's blood, and hummed a strange tune: "No, no, the game between Xiaoyue and me is not over yet, no one can stop him~"

Deep inside a building far away in Tokyo, Uesugi, who was in the parliament base, was reporting the situation to the people above.

He said calmly, "Yes, Wuming must have just happened to show up and saved him. I will continue to observe Chijiang Nayue's situation. If I find it is not necessary to stop him, I will find another chance to kill him."

After hanging up the phone, Uesugi leaned against the table expressionlessly, pulled out a few hot documents from the fax machine, and threw them into the shredder opposite.

The document contained the information that Yamamoto mentioned, "Akae Nazuki has a deep relationship with Wuming."

"What is this?" the person who just passed by asked curiously.

Uesugi smiled at him politely and said, "It's just a prank fax."

He stared at the shredder with his dull dark green eyes until he confirmed with his own eyes that the document had been turned into shreds, and then he sent the message he had edited on his phone.

[To: Mr.

Tail processed.]

At the same time, Asa, who was walking past Yamamoto's body and preparing to leave with a bored look on his face, took out his cell phone from his pocket, looked at the message on the screen and whistled happily.

[To: Toolman No.1

Thank you for your hard work~]
