Substitute Toyokawa Shoko, you can become stronger by breathing

Jiujo Liansi didn't look back, but just raised his right hand and waved gently.

"Xiao Xiang, she is simply superhuman!!"

Chihaya Aine sighed and turned to look at Eri: "Eri-chan, are you okay?"

Eri shook her head, the fear in her eyes had dissipated a lot, and she said softly:

"It's okay. Thanks to you for being here today. Thank you, Anon-chan."

"Hey hey hey~"

When Chihaya Aine heard this, she couldn't help but let out a sly laugh, seeming a little elated.

"I'm here, don't be afraid!"

——He completely forgot that if Xiaoxiang hadn't been there, they would have been beaten together.

She took Eri's hand, "Come on, we should go get some crepes! After everything that's happened today, we need something sweet!"

..

In a dark alley, several bad girls were awkwardly treating their wounds.

Some people were rubbing their hit knees, some were covering their bruised chins, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of bruises and sprains.

"Damn it... Damn it!" Sato Misaki cursed through gritted teeth as she put a Band-Aid on her wrist. "Just wait for that pretentious bitch! I'm going to make her pay!"

"Yes! Let's find someone to stop her!"

"Should we call the Yamaguchi-gumi?"

"I heard that Misaki's boyfriend..."

Just as they were chattering about their revenge plan, a shadow suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley. A pair of blue ponytails swayed gently in the shadows, like some kind of fatal signal.

The hooligans around them fell silent instantly, their faces turning pale. The purple-haired girl even took a few steps back involuntarily, knocking over the trash can behind her.

But Sato Misaki, immersed in her rage, didn't notice these anomalies. She continued to shout, "Just wait and see! I'm going to make that bitch beg for mercy on her knees! And those two..."

"Mi...Misaki..." The purple-haired girl trembled and pulled her sleeve.

"How dare you talk like that?" Sato Misaki shook her hand off. "Who was the coward who offered to pay just now? Shame on you!"

A soft sound echoed in the alley.

Sato Misaki finally realized something was wrong and her eyes twitched slightly, but before she could turn her head, a swift and heavy blow hit her abdomen.

She groaned in pain, her whole body hunched over like a shrimp, beads of cold sweat oozing from her forehead, and her hands instinctively covered her stomach.

Then, a pair of patent leather loafers stepped firmly on her fingers spread on the ground with irresistible force, and her knuckles made a slight creaking sound when the sole of the shoe rolled over them.

Sato Misaki twitched in pain, her face twisted into a ball, and she screamed.

Then, the other foot hit her mouth directly, abruptly interrupting her scream.

The light in the alley was dim, and Sato Misaki could only see the visitor's face, most of which was shrouded in shadow.

"You said your boyfriend is from the Yamaguchi-gumi?"

.......

PS:

Version updated, "Asada Shizuka" has been changed to "Eri"

The line that is being drawn now will be combined with the subsequent Miao Meng line, which can be regarded as part of the "career line", so original characters will inevitably appear.

But these are just supporting characters used to advance the plot, just like the Metropolitan Police Department inspector mentioned above, and they will not be too involved in the main storyline.

So I'm not just writing this for my own amusement, this line is related to both the Ain line and the Meowmeng line.

PS2: This chapter has 3300 characters, and there will be at least one more chapter updated in the early morning.

Chapter 32: Is this your fucking friendly communication? (3k6)

Compared to its heyday in previous years, the Yamaguchi-gumi can be said to be on the decline now.

At one time, the Yamaguchi-gumi's annual revenue reached $800 billion, ranking eighth among Japanese companies. They not only controlled the traditional underground economy, but also infiltrated the entertainment industry through positive industries such as "Kobe Entertainment."

Since the 50s, the Yamaguchi-gumi has begun to develop its entertainment industry, extending its tentacles into idol management, film and television production and other fields.

However, with the police crackdown and the rise of other organizations, the Yamaguchi-gumi's power began to decline. In particular, the "Violent Group Countermeasures Act" implemented in 2015 caused them to lose a large amount of gray income.

But they still control the most complete underground network...especially in some performance venues, underground livehouses, and some old-fashioned brokerage companies in the Tokyo area.

"Tell me, who is your boyfriend?"

Kujo Renji's voice remained calm, but a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

Sato Misaki looked at the other person in horror, and the arrogance she had just shown was long gone.

"My...my boyfriend is...from the Nakamura group!"

Sato Misaki uttered the name tremblingly:

"His name is Nakamura Koji, he's very rich... If you let me go, I can ask him to give you money."

The Nakamura Group is a branch of the Yamaguchi Group that operates underground livehouses in the 23 wards of Tokyo. On the surface, it operates several small performance venues, but in fact it is responsible for collecting "protection fees" from various underground performance venues.

Misaki Sato's boyfriend, Koji Nakamura, is the nephew of the leader of the Nakamura Group.

Kujo Renji blinked.

Although his main area of ​​activity is in Kansai, it does not mean that he is completely ignorant of the situation in Tokyo.

As early as a few years ago, he had also thought about extending his reach to Tokyo...but unfortunately the waters here were too complicated and he had not been able to make any progress.

After that, he has been collecting intelligence from Tokyo... As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. As one of the competitors of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Kujo Renji is naturally concerned about the internal forces within it.

The Yamaguchi-gumi is actually divided into many factions, and the fighting among the factions is quite fierce.

For example, the person behind the Nakamura Group is Ryuichi Yamamoto, the second son of the current Yamaguchi Group leader Shinji Yamamoto.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Koji Nakamura is responsible for managing the operations of several underground livehouses under Yamamoto Ryuichi.

Although the Nakamura Group is not large in scale, it has a close relationship with Ryuichi Yamamoto because it is responsible for the performance venue.

After all, Ryuichi Yamamoto has always wanted to transform the organization and focus on developing the entertainment industry, and Nakamura Group is one of the important pieces.

It is not wrong for one of its members to call themselves the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Kujo Renji grabbed Sato Misaki's hair and asked with a smile:

"Where is your boyfriend's place of responsibility?"

"Shin... Shinjuku, Kabukicho..." Sato Misaki trembled as she spoke the address. "It's... it's the live house 'BLACK HOLE'..."

"Thank you." Kujo Renji said softly, grabbed her hair and slammed her against the wall.

There was a soft muffled "bang" sound.

Sato Misaki's head slammed against the wall, her eyes rolled back, and she fell down limply.

Kujo Renji let go of her hand, letting Sato Misaki collapse to the ground, and turned to face the other bad girls.

"You guys..." She patted the hem of her skirt lightly, a smile on her lips: "Do you want to be like her, or get out now?"

Several bad girls looked at each other with pale faces.

They had all seen it clearly. The purple-haired girl was the first to take off running, and the others, disregarding their dignity, scrambled to escape the alley. One person ran so fast that he tripped over a trash can, but after getting up, he ran even faster.

Soon, the only people left in the alley were the unconscious Sato Misaki and the indifferent Kujo Renji.

"...what you up to?"

The voice of Toyokawa Shoko rang out in my mind.

His tone was a little sticky, perhaps because the violent act just now was too brutal, which made Xiaoxiang become a little obedient for a rare time.

"What to do? Of course, I'll do what the only daughter of the Toyokawa family should do."

"However, it's not for the Toyokawa family, but for you... for us."

"What do you mean?" There was a hint of caution in Shoko Toyokawa's voice.

"If you want to be independent from the Toyokawa family, you need more than just a band."

As Kujo Renji walked, he explained in his mind:

"And you're well aware that with the influence of the Fengchuan Group, no matter what you do, the outside world will attribute the credit to your family."

“Even if you created Ave Mujica, does it really break away from the Toyokawa Group label?”

"..."

"What we need now is more resources, power that belongs to you, not depending on your grandfather's mood..."

Jiujo Renji paused and said nothing more:

"As for what to do...just wait and see."

"You, you're not going to look for her boyfriend, are you?"

Shoko Toyokawa felt a little scared.

After all, she was still a young lady who had never been out in society, so when she heard the word "gangster", she instinctively became afraid.

"Don't worry, just a friendly chat with him."

"real..?"

Shoko Toyokawa always felt that "friendly exchange" was not a good word.

"Of course, do you think I'm such a cruel person?" Kujo Renji said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shoko Toyokawa breathed a sigh of relief.

.

Koji Nakamura sat at the bar of "BLACK HOLE", drinking alone in an irritable manner.

He had been in a bad mood recently. Ever since Yamamoto Takashi started pushing for organizational transformation, things had become increasingly difficult for the Nakamura Group.

Back when they were collecting protection fees, they could rake in millions of yen in a single month. But now? Yamamoto Ryuichi demands that all brothels operate legally, prohibiting even the most basic venue fees.

"What do you mean by 'establishing a healthy entertainment industry ecosystem'..." Nakamura Koji cursed inwardly as he took a sip of whiskey. "Is that the kind of talk a gangster would say?"

But he only dared to complain in his heart. After all, Yamamoto Ryuichi was now the real power in the organization, and he had the support of the third-in-command. Even the leader of the Nakamura Group—his always strong uncle—had recently been forced to do things according to Yamamoto's wishes.

"Even my uncle said that young people nowadays don't buy into that kind of bullshit..." Nakamura Koji smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Indeed, the days of relying on violence and threats to extract money are gone. Nowadays, performance venues must obtain business licenses, and even protection fees have to be packaged as "security service fees."

Even worse, Yamamoto Ryuichi also demanded that they maintain "artistic standards" for each venue. What does "artistic standards" mean? Aren't those underground bands just going to bang a few tunes and call it a day?

But Yamamoto Ryuichi said that he wanted to turn these venues into "cradles for discovering new talents." This meant that they not only had to invest in renovating the venues, but also had to actually scout for bands and artists with potential.

"Damn, it makes me look like a talent scout..."

Koji Nakamura was about to pour himself another glass when suddenly a younger brother ran in hurriedly.

"Brother Akira! Outside...someone's looking for you outside!"

"Who is it?" Nakamura Koji asked impatiently, "Didn't I say I wasn't seeing any guests today?"

"Yes...it's a high school girl!" The younger brother wiped the sweat from his forehead. "She's wearing a prestigious school uniform and is incredibly beautiful! But..."

"but what?"

"But the aura is not right..." The younger brother lowered his voice, "And...she was carrying Misaki-san..."

"What?!" Nakamura Koji stood up so fast that he almost knocked over his glass. "What happened to Misaki?"

"It seems...it seems like he was knocked unconscious..."

Nakamura Koji's face darkened. Although he always complained about Sato Misaki's childishness, she was still his girlfriend. Now someone had knocked her out and brought her to him? Wasn't this a clear provocation?

"Okay, I want to see who is the one who doesn't know how to live or die..."

He spoke viciously and strode towards the door. However, when he pushed the door open and saw the scene outside, all the harsh words were swallowed back into his stomach.

Her blue twintails swayed gently in the night breeze. Her amber eyes gazed at him calmly, her fair face expressionless. The Hanegaoka Girls' Academy uniform fitted her perfectly.

"This..." Nakamura Koji was stunned for a moment.

But then, he saw Sato Migu being held in the other person's hand like a rag doll.
