I really can't control myself.

Chapter 4182 Cooperation
"Cooperation?" Erina Nakiri looked at Eizan Etsuya in front of her with considerable doubt.

Eizan Etsuya also suddenly contacted her. Nakiri Erina was actually quite busy right now. She had just had the blacklist lifted by Linton, but the group's problems weren't solved instantly, were they? It's just that the obstacles were gone now, and her time was extremely tight.

However, unexpectedly, at this time, Eizan Etsu also approached her, wanting to take the initiative to talk to her.

Erina Nakiri and Eizan Etsuya naturally knew each other, as they were both members of the Totsuki Elite Ten. However, Eizan Etsuya's status had changed somewhat. Now, his company was so powerful that even the Totsuki Group had to avoid him. This refers to the previous Totsuki Group, not the current, struggling Totsuki Group.

He had just received permission from Linton to lift the ban, and now Eizan Etsu had approached him. What was he planning to do? Was it a warning?

However, to Erina Nakiri's surprise, the other party directly expressed their desire to cooperate.

But why is that? Because there's no need. Eizan Etsuya's company doesn't lack partners; in fact, there's plenty of capital and people wanting to build relationships with them, they just lack the connections.

While the Totsuki Group was powerful before, that was then. The current Totsuki Group has been freed from the ban, but the mess it's in is enormous. There's absolutely no need for Eizan Etsu to get involved and help them fill this hole, right? He couldn't possibly be unaware of what's going on here.

However, the next thing that Eizan Etsuya said made her shudder.

"Linton is leaving? Leaving this world?" Erina Nakiri was extremely surprised, thinking that she had just seen Linton not long ago and hadn't heard anything about it.

“It seems your brother hasn’t told you about this yet,” said Eizan Etsuya. “But that’s why I’m asking you to cooperate.”

"Brother?" Erina Nakiri was taken aback at first, then realized that the brother being referred to here must be Asahi Saiba. It took her a while to react, as she was really not used to suddenly having an older brother. "Does he know about this?"

“Currently, only we know about this, and then your brother,” said Eizan Etsuya.

“I think I understand why you came to me.” Erina Nakiri wasn’t stupid, and immediately guessed what Eizan Etsuya meant. “You want to keep this information a secret?”

Indeed, Eizan Etsuya was well aware that the Totsuki Group was currently a trap, and one that wouldn't be easy to fill. He wouldn't want to cooperate with the Totsuki Group if he could, but unfortunately, Saiba Asahi found out about it.

It seems Linton will be leaving tomorrow, but this shouldn't be known to everyone immediately. After all, it's not unusual for Linton to frequently disappear. Although he does go live every now and then, it's unpredictable; he doesn't have any fixed livestreaming times.

So as long as those few who know the situation intentionally keep it a secret, I believe this matter can be kept hidden for quite some time.

Before this, as long as they possessed enough power, they could guarantee the safety of all of them and what they had. And this power, naturally, was the training method created by his friend, Takaoka Yūnori.

That's right, this is Eizan Etsuya's plan. Although the plan sounds a bit rough, given the lack of time, it's already quite good that they can come up with a roughly feasible plan. If handled well, they could build a new and enormous power, a truly powerful force. As long as they can keep their cultivation method, they should be able to maintain their advantage for a considerable period of time. Just the fact that it attracts other talents to join them is quite attractive.

The plan is to be implemented, but there is a big problem now: how many people know about this, including Cai Bo Chaoyang?

The news couldn't leak out from him, so Eizan Etsuya thought for a moment and decided to directly seek cooperation with the Nakiri family of the Totsuki Group. He had just learned from Matsumoto Yoshishi what had happened that afternoon, and that Linton had casually lifted the Totsuki Group's blacklist.

In this way, the cooperation between the two sides proceeded smoothly and without any awkwardness. In fact, the Far Moon Group is now, to some extent, labeled with Linton's name.

Indeed, according to Eizan Etsuya's plan, even if Linton left, they could continue to generate profits for themselves under Linton's name. As long as Linton's departure was not confirmed, people would still cooperate with them because of this relationship, and they could continue to expand their operations.

They also took this opportunity to develop their power and expand continuously, until they were able to protect themselves even after the fact that Linton had left.

This is definitely a win-win situation. For the Totsuki Group, they urgently need an ally to help them. And Eizan Etsuya's company is clearly a very suitable ally, as it has the money and resources to meet all their needs for a comeback.

However, the only thing that Erina Nakiri was unsure about was whether her not-so-familiar older brother would actually help her.

“I…I’ll ask him.” Erina Nakiri didn’t make the decision for Asahi Saiba, but thought for a moment and said.

Unfortunately, although Cai Bo Chaoyang could be contacted, the worker was still cooking for Linton. Yes, it was already afternoon, and he was still cooking. Judging from this, Linton didn't intend to make him stop before leaving.

But things are really urgent right now, and Eizan Etsuya can't wait any longer. So instead of meeting in person, he asked Saiba Asahi directly over the phone if they could cooperate.

Clearly, Cai Bo Chaoyang hadn't thought of anything too complicated. He did sense that Linton's sudden departure would cause a lot of problems, but he didn't have time to make any calculations at the moment.

Knowing that Eizan Etsuya was also planning to collaborate with his sister's Totsuki Group, he thought about it and readily agreed to Eizan Etsuya's request. After all, the request wasn't too troublesome; he just needed to keep the news quiet.

"It seems your brother still wants to maintain a good relationship with you." After hanging up the phone, Eizan Etsu said directly to Nakiri Erina.

“Shut up.” Erina Nakiri frowned, but that wasn’t what she was thinking. It was true that her brother had helped her several times already. First, he brought her to see Linton, and now he had directly agreed to Eizan Etsuya’s request, clearly to help her company. This left Erina Nakiri feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Well... the cooperation is complete. I wish us... a pleasant collaboration, and that we may reach the pinnacle together," said Eizan Etsuya directly.
