Chapter 397 Ten Thousand Against One, the Advantage Lies with Me
The banquet was not held in the Japanese-style garden where Namba Sojiro lived, but in the large venue of Namba Heavy Industries.
This means that tonight's protagonist is not Nanba Sojiro, a Japanese, but a distinguished figure who is not used to the Japanese style.
The visitors should all know who this person is.
However, before the banquet began, some guests were taken to Naniwa Sojiro's garden.
Wearing a suit and pretending to be a gentleman, Fujimoto Masanobu, the leader of the Ochiai Group, walked into the main house, and familiar faces came into view.
Of the five top-ranking yakuza organizations in Namba City, all but the Tojo Clan have already arrived.
Arakawa-kai, Kamiki-gumi, Darren Company, Oda-kai.
Behind them were the leaders of other yakuza organizations, who were bowing down to them.
The people from Hokushin Itto-ryu and Kyokage-ryu haven't arrived yet. The former probably won't come, since it's on the side of the traditionalists, while the latter probably hasn't arrived yet.
"Hey, Fujimoto."
The president of the Arakawa-kai, a middle-aged man with medium-length hair and a full beard, greeted Fujimoto and said, "I heard that you were taught a lesson by some brats from the Tojo Clan, and you went to the Tojo Clan to apologize in person and even cut off a finger."
"President Arakawa, it's all a misunderstanding," Fujimoto Shinichi said.
"Fujimoto, you're getting worse and worse. Bowing down to a brat, you have no backbone at all." The leader of the Kamiki Group, a burly man with a shaved head and wearing a kimono, Ryuzaki Toshio, sneered.
Beside him, the leader of the Darren Company, a gang of dark-skinned people from the former Indian community, laughed loudly: "So what if you've become a Western Union citizen? We have hundreds of thousands of compatriots in the Western Union. Fujimoto, if you want to grovel before the Western Union, come to me."
The other leaders burst into laughter upon hearing the two men's words, their eyes filled with mockery as they looked at Fujimoto Masanobu.
Yakuza gangs are like wild beasts; whoever has the sharpest claws is feared and respected.
Conversely, it's like a stray dog that everyone wants to kick.
Fujimoto Masanobu's Ochiai Group was originally very close to the top five gangs, but after a defeat and an undignified apology, it fell into a trough of its prestige.
They all thought the Ochiai group was just a paper tiger, and that their previous show of force was all an act.
It may sound superficial, but that's sometimes what yakuza gangs are like.
Upon hearing this, Fujimoto Masanobu knew that if he didn't do something, he would truly become a stray dog. He was immediately ready to extend his iron arm and find a chicken among those who were mocking him to kill.
The four sitting at the front are not to be trifled with, so surely they can't mess with the lousy fish and shrimp behind them?
However, before he could shatter the sleeve on his arm, Nanba Sojiro entered the scene.
Two other people, one middle school student and one young man, came out of the inner room with him.
The middle-aged man was the head of the Kyoukage-ryu branch dojo in Namba City, while the young man said, "Let me introduce you."
Nanba Sojiro said with a smile, "Mr. Ichishimura, a master's student at West Union Russell College, a prized student of the famous new weapon researcher Professor Menek, and also a promising young man in our Nanba City, and the representative of the Tojo Clan today."
Nanba Sojiro rattled off a string of titles, fully demonstrating his high regard for them.
Although only about one of these titles is actually useful:
Those who had just been mocking Fujimoto Masanobu were now speechless. Seeing this, Ryuzaki Toshio couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Damn! So what if they're from the Western Union?"
"Western Union people are really something in Japan."
Fujimoto Masanobu replied, walked straight to the left side closest to the main seat, placed a cushion, and then sat down behind it.
This is the location of "Shimura Shin".
Japanese people with Western Union affiliation may not be remarkable, but Japanese people with connections within Western Union are definitely remarkable.
Shin Shimura had a famous teacher who was highly regarded by everyone.
Of course, while I may think highly of you, when it comes to actually killing you, I won't hesitate.
Like Nanba Sojiro, who previously sent assassins to eliminate a possible variable.
"Please give me your guidance, seniors."
Bai Ze had a gentle expression on his face, looking like someone who was focused on academic research, without any trace of the murderous aura of the extreme path.
But at this moment, no one present dared to give him a hard time.
This was partly because the boss of the Western Union was indeed the boss, and partly because Fujimoto Masanobu actually gave Bai Ze a cushion, acting like a little brother.
This seemingly harmless fellow might just be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Alright, Shimura-kun, please take a seat."
Nanba Sojiro chuckled and gestured for Hakutaku to sit down, while simultaneously inviting the leader of the Kyokage-ryu school to sit in the head seat on the right.
Then, he sat down properly and got straight to the point: "As you all know, the Grand Secretary was assassinated in our city of Naniwa. The General is furious about this and has ordered a thorough investigation. We, the people of Japan, have benefited from the General's kindness, so naturally we must repay him, right?"
"That's right. If it weren't for the general, Ying Kingdom might have been destroyed decades ago. We must repay the general's kindness." Bai Ze was the first to respond.
Although he didn't know what the general was up to, that didn't stop him from being the first to support the general.
Secretly, Bai Ze is a madman who assassinated Abe Nobuhiro, but on the surface, he is a member of the Iron-Blooded Western Alliance.
At this point, shouting "loyalty" is the right thing to do.
"Yes, yes, yes, the general's kindness is as great as the heavens."
"The general's kindness can never be fully repaid."
"That's right, I think so too."
Me too.
The others quickly echoed this sentiment, especially Darby from Darren Company, who bluntly stated that the general's kindness could not be repaid, making it seem as if they were also Japanese.
In short, it means that everyone is united in purpose and willing to sacrifice their lives for the general.
Naniwa Sojiro was moved and immediately declared, "Well said! Therefore, in order to repay the Shogun, we must annihilate all traitors who are enemies of the Shogun. Gentlemen, I have received secret intelligence that the leader of the loyalists to the Shogun, Kamiizumi Muneshige, has infiltrated Naniwa City."
"Let us join hands and take the head of Kamiizumi Muneshige to repay the general's kindness."
"Huh?" The atmosphere of risking one's life and shedding blood suddenly cooled down.
To take the head of Kamiizumi Muneshige?
us?
Among the forces present, only the five major extreme sects and the Extreme Shadow Stream have seven-star martial artists. The only seven-star martial artist in the East City Society is said to be the old chairman, who is said to be half-buried in the ground and just short of kicking his legs.
Even if you include the seven-star warriors trained by Namba Heavy Industries, there are probably no more than ten of them.
This kind of high-stakes, high-stakes treatment—competing against those above our level—is a bit too much for us scumbags to handle.
"Very good."
At the critical moment, the iron-blooded Western Alliance member "Shimura Shin" appeared to join the group. He said with great enthusiasm, "With all sides joining forces, we can mobilize tens of thousands of combat forces. Kamiizumi Muneshige is only one person. It's 10,000 against 1. The advantage is on our side. No matter how strong he is, I don't believe he can kill us all."
"When his power is exhausted, that will be the time for us to swarm him and take his life."
