When he got off the bus in Adachi, the two girls had their own things to do. Mizuno did not go home but trotted to the restaurant.
Among the 23 districts of Tokyo, Adachi ranked third in area and had a large population. In terms of popularity, Adachi might be more famous than the neighboring North District because it was more chaotic. After all, the only impression that North District had in the minds of Tokyoites was, "From the name, it seems to be north of Tokyo, but which direction is it exactly north?"
The chaotic order naturally gave birth to the underworld culture. Walking on the street, Mizuno could occasionally find some underworld elements. The national treasure of the Island nation, Takeshi Kitano, was the biggest celebrity from Adachi. The underworld movies made by Takeshi Kitano made the entire Island nation more aware of the underworld culture in Adachi. Perhaps only such underworld soil could give birth to Takeshi Kitano.
As soon as he got off the bus and trotted on the street, Mizuno narrowed his eyes and looked at the corner in the distance.
A group of people were talking about something at the corner of the street. Then, they walked into a restaurant with their arms around each other's shoulders, talking and laughing.
Among that group of people was Hong Chuan, the classmate whom Mizuno had beaten up twice some time ago. Mizuno still had some impression of him. And with Hong Chuan, there was also the underworld member who came to the Haibu Restaurant to collect protection money that day.
Haibu Sha once said that Hong Chuan was related to the underworld. It seemed that it was true.
"How did these two groups find each other?" Mizuno did not only see Hong Chuan in that group. "Hong Chuan and... Moriya's family."
Whether Hong Chuan had a background in the underworld or not, Mizuno did not care. In modern society, his attacks and atrocities could be said to be frightening to the underworld. But when the two groups gathered together, his heart was smeared with a layer of shadow.
What were they talking about?
Walking into a small alley with no surveillance, Mizuno performed the transformation technique.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out with a bag in his arms. His body, which had been sitting in the office for a long time without exercising, was covered in sweat with just a few steps. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man who was depressed.
Lifting the curtain of the kitchen, Mizuno, who had turned into a social animal, moved to the front desk and ordered a bowl of udon noodles.
This restaurant was much bigger than Haibu Restaurant. Not only did it have a lobby, but it also had a few separate rooms. There was no sign of the group of people in the lobby. Mizuno sat in the corner of the room and listened to the sounds around him.
"Duang Duang", it was the sound of the chef cutting the vegetables.
"For the sake of our team's performance this month, we must work overtime!"
"Alright!"
"Shua." Mizuno thought it was the sound of a toilet flushing.
He patiently knocked on the table and finally captured the conversation he wanted.
"Hong Chuan, we have found the man in the valley, but unfortunately, the other party has already broken off their relationship with the target legally. It seems that using the man to set up a trap will not be possible."
Hong Chuan, the valley, the man. Mizuno's left hand fingers tapped the back of his right hand.
The Island nation had three major slums: Aimi in Osaka, Shoucho in Yokohama, and the valley in Tokyo.
The valley was not a literal topography. There was an old village called the valley at the intersection of Taitong and Arakawa. Later, due to the process of urbanization and the influx of foreign population, it became the three major slums of the Island nation. After decades of transformation, the valley area was not a slum compared to Aimi and Shoucho. However, there were still a large number of simple hotels, and in the eyes of Tokyo people, it was still a place like a slum.
Many homeless people would choose to live in the valley area.
What was interesting was the Aimi slum. Many foreign tourists would be curious about the red light district of Hida Shindi in Osaka. When they booked a hotel, they would find that the hotels around Hida were very cheap. This was not because the hotels around the area were to match the Hida Veranda, but because Hida Shindi was adjacent to the Aimi slum …
"Hmm." Hong Chuan's voice paused. "Can't we use the usury method?
It's fine legally, but it's family, right?
Brother Nakano. "
"No, the relationship between the two parties is very bad. It's useless to use him to threaten the mother and daughter."
Nakano Katsune was also very concerned about this matter. Although he was not from the Kuroto family, the Kuroto family and the Moriya family were nominally under the umbrella of the Pine Leaf Society, and the two families were close.
Moreover, Nakano Katsune was only the head of the gang. Although he had left his identity as a member of the underworld and became a small leader, he was still far inferior to Hong Chuan.
Although Hong Chuan was only a high school student, his father was a member of the Kuroto family, and one of his elders was a big shot in the Pine Leaf Society's headquarters.
The underworld, like society, had to pay attention to the ways of the world. As a head of the underworld, he couldn't compare to the second generation.
The underworld of the Island nation had an inseparable relationship with the downtrodden samurai and ronin of the old era, so the structure of the underworld had a strong feudal style of the shogunate of the old era.
In other words, the headquarters of the underworld could be divided into multiple secondary groups. The boss of these secondary groups was a senior member of the Pine Leaf Society, and the boss of the main group. For those large underworld groups, the secondary groups could be divided into new branches.
The relationship between the secondary groups and the headquarters was like a feudal master and servant. Although there was little news of the underworld fighting, the secondary groups usually had to pay money to the headquarters. If there was really a fight, they had to be duty-bound to do it.
"Looks like we can only force it …"
Hearing Hong Chuan's words, Nakano Katsune asked uneasily, "This … won't be a problem, right?"
The head of the gang seemed to have some status, but to put it bluntly, he was also a big gangster. He had done a lot of things like this, but he always acted after getting orders from the upper echelons of the Moriya family. From what Hong Chuan said, was he going to force it?
Although Hanayo used to be the territory of the Kuroto family, it now belonged to the Moriya family.
"Didn't you say that the other party is an orphan and a widow? This kind of target is the best. Think about the appearance of that family's daughter. Whether it is given to the upper echelons or used to make a movie, you can earn hundreds of millions." Hong Chuan's voice was completely different from when he was in school. In school, it was arrogant, but now it was gloomy.
"This …" Nakano Katsune certainly knew that this kind of business was easy to do, but he was worried that he would make a decision without the consent of the upper echelons.
"And don't worry, Brother Nakano. I won't put you in a dilemma. Tonight, I will ask your upper echelons about this matter. If they agree, then please help me, Brother Nakano."
The fierceness in Mizuno's eyes became more and more intense, and the corner of the table that he clenched was pressed hard.
"Hi, your udon!" The waiter brought a bowl of udon noodles and placed it in front of Mizuno.
