From the curse back, I started to eat the clone's soft rice

Yukinoshita Haruno, who was having troubles, felt a lump of air stuck in her chest, but considering her family and sister, she stepped on the accelerator and drove back to Chiba Prefecture.

......

Chiba Prefecture, Yukinoshita family.

Since it was not too far from Tokyo, Yukinoshita Haruno only had to drive for a few hours to return home.

As soon as she entered the door, Yukinoshita Haruno saw her mother sitting in a seat in the living room with a serious face, and her father was sitting carefully beside her with a frown on his face.

"Yang No, you're back."

Seeing Yukinoshita Haruno pushing the door open, Yuki's mother, who had been waiting for a long time, nodded to her.

"So, mother, what exactly is happening in Chiba County right now?"

Yukinoshita Haruno asked impatiently.

"Well, see for yourself."

I saw Yuki's mother pick up an invitation from the table in front of her and hand it to Yukinoshita Haruno.

"Invitation? Was it sent by the dignitaries from Tokyo to us, the local families in Chiba Prefecture?"

Seeing what her mother handed over and recalling the information her mother had revealed on the phone before, Yukinoshita Haruno immediately guessed the origin of the invitation letter in front of her.

"Are you planning to invite all the local families in Chiba together, and then use means like intimidation, coercion, and inducement to reduce resistance? But if you do that, won't that give us, the local families in Chiba, a chance to unite and fight back?"

Even if they are powerful people from Tokyo, they should not be so arrogant. Such a plot of inviting someone to a meal and then having him beheaded and then being treated like a dog will only be useful when one side has an overwhelming advantage over the other.

But soon, with the invitation letter from Yukinoshita Haruno in hand, all doubts were resolved.

It was because of the rows of signatures on the invitation letter from various well-known and powerful families in Tokyo.

"The Fujiwara clan, the Shinomiya clan, the Toyokawa clan, the Suho clan..."

The signatures representing the major powerful families in Tokyo appeared one after another on the invitation letter in front of him. Among them, Yukinoshita Haruno was at the front, and the names that she had tried so hard to get in touch with in Tokyo a few days ago were so numerous that she couldn't count them on one hand.

Now, Yukinoshita Haruno knew why her mother called her back so anxiously.

Indeed, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, but all the local families in Chiba can barely be considered a snake if they are tied together, but there are far more than one dragon on the opposite side.

Damn it, had the Yukinoshita family and the other Chiba families violated the laws of heaven? The powerful families listed on this invitation, to put it bluntly, could influence the entire country of Japan, right?

"The invitation says tomorrow evening at six o'clock. The venue is a large venue in Chiba Prefecture. What does mother mean by this, regarding whether our Yukinoshita family should accept the invitation?"

"Go, you must go."

Only Xue's mother answered.

Based on the lineup on this invitation, the Yukinoshita family had to accept the invitation and go see what the situation was like no matter what.

Although it is easy to imagine that when you go to the scene, the people you will see probably will not be the heads of the major powerful families in Tokyo, but at most will only be the representatives sent by these families. However, that is far beyond the reach of the Yukinoshita family and other local families in Chiba.

Chapter 264: Pressure from Tokyo's powerful officials to incorporate Chiba Prefecture

The next evening, in Chiba Prefecture, in a high-end venue that had been arranged in advance.

Many heads and family members of large and small families in Chiba Prefecture came here by car and walked into the venue carefully.

Obviously, facing the pressure from many powerful families in Tokyo, basically no one from the local families entrenched in Chiba Prefecture dared to ignore the invitation.

"It seems that everyone has arrived."

Inside the venue, Yukinoshita Haruno calmly glanced at the time and found that there were only a few minutes left before the time stated on the invitation.

At this time, except for a few small families in Chiba County who were not present for some reason, all other families in Chiba County, big and small, were basically already in the current venue.

The Tokyo dignitary representative sitting in the main seat of the venue was obviously also paying attention to the time. Seeing that the hands on the clock had slowly reached the final deadline, the Tokyo dignitary representative had no intention of talking nonsense and immediately stood up and came to the front of everyone.

"Welcome everyone to this meeting. I am the distinguished representative from Tokyo, Shigong Huangguang."

"The reason I'm visiting Chiba County this time is because I have something to discuss with you all here in Chiba County. I ask you to consider it carefully and do not refuse."

Sigong Huangguang spoke with an indifferent expression. Although he said he was discussing, his words and attitude sounded more like an order.

"Is he a prominent figure from the Shinomiya family..."

At the location of the Yukinoshita family, Yukinoshita Haruno spoke in a low voice.

"I just don't know what this person wants to discuss by gathering all the local dignitaries in Chiba County here."

Mother Yuki also murmured to herself in a low voice at this moment. As the head of the Yukinoshita family, after hearing those words just now, she instinctively felt that what the other party wanted to discuss with them, the Chiba family, might not be a good thing.

At this time in the conference hall, many other members of the Chiba family were also whispering. Everyone was thinking about what Shinomiya Huangguang, who was already an unattainable big man in their eyes, and the many Tokyo dignitaries behind him wanted them, the Chiba family, to do?

Sigong Huangguang had no intention of keeping the secret and waved his hand immediately.

Immediately, the staff who had been prepared distributed documents to each representative of the Chiba family.

However, when looking at the contents of the document, many heads of Chiba families turned pale in the face.

It was because what was handed to them at this moment was an asset transfer agreement.

"All local families in Chiba County must cede more than 50% of their family businesses and transfer half of their management rights?"

There is a lot of content in the agreement, but generally speaking it can be summarized as above.

Many heads of Chiba families could not accept the outrageous content of the agreement and immediately stood up and slammed the table.

"With all due respect, Master Huang Guang, we cannot accept the terms of this agreement under any circumstances!"

The unconditional transfer of half of the shares and management rights of all family businesses is basically equivalent to the complete loss of sovereignty. In other words, once this agreement is signed, all local families in Chiba Prefecture will become vassals of the powerful in Tokyo and can only live by the wishes of the bigwigs in Tokyo.

But after paying such a huge price, they got nothing in return. It is basically impossible for anyone except a fool to voluntarily sign this agreement.

Sigong Huang Guang naturally understood this logic, but his expression at the moment was still indifferent. He did not take the opposition of the local families seriously at all, and even showed a hint of sneer on his face.

"The signing of the agreement follows the principle of voluntariness. Whether to sign or not is entirely up to you. If you do not wish to, you can naturally choose not to sign."

"But I'm sure everyone who signed the invitation has seen that the Shinomiya family isn't the only one involved in the annexation of Chiba County."

"If you sign this agreement now, you can still keep half of your property. If it passes tonight, we will naturally have other means to take over all the large-scale industries in Chiba County, and we can also wipe out all the families in Chiba County overnight."

"So please...consider this carefully."

A threat, no doubt about it, a naked threat.

Upon hearing what Shinomiya Huangguang said, the faces of the many Chiba family representatives present turned dark, and they wanted to curse at the robbers in front of them, but considering the joint signatures of a number of Tokyo's top powerful families on the invitation letter that had been sent to them to participate in this meeting, they could only hold back their anger at this moment.

You know, many of the powerful families in that joint letter span the business and political circles, including top Japanese chaebols like the Shinomiya family, as well as political giants with strong political background like the Fujiwara family.

If they were really faced with a siege from so many powerful Tokyo dignitaries, there would be no doubt that a group of local families in Chiba Prefecture alone would have no room for resistance.

Why the hell had those bigwigs in Tokyo suddenly become so united? And why was Chiba Prefecture so unlucky that it ended up on the dinner tables of those powerful families who truly controlled Neon?

The atmosphere in the entire venue gradually became quiet. After weighing the pros and cons, most of the heads of the Chiba families sadly discovered that in the face of the united efforts of those bigwigs who truly stood at the top of Neon, they seemed to have no way to resist.

Seeing that Sigong Huangguang still didn't care whether they resisted or obeyed, some heads of small families gradually began to lower their defenses and finally began to slowly sign the agreement.

Once there is a first agreement, there will be a second one. Just like that, half an hour later, all the Chiba family representatives present were forced to sign the agreement in front of them.

"Very good, it seems you have made a wise choice."

Seeing this scene, Sigong Huangguang nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, strictly speaking, an unconditional property and management rights transfer agreement signed in an individual's name does not have any legal effect and can basically only be used as a proof of attitude and decision.

But unfortunately, as the top dignitaries standing at the pinnacle of the entire country and who can truly influence the direction of the country, they are the rule makers. This is even more so after they joined Lord An Xiu and united in a true sense.

It is not difficult for the powerful people under that lord to take over Chiba Prefecture and even other areas around Tokyo. This agreement is simply to make their eating look better and also to give this group of country people outside Tokyo an opportunity.

Just as Shigong Huangguang had said before, if the Chiba families present today refused to sign the agreement he proposed and give up the sovereignty of Chiba County, then the measures waiting for the Chiba families would not be as gentle as they are now.

Chapter 265: Are stray dogs from the local area worthy of being served at the table? Advice from the Shinomiya family

The meeting to incorporate Chiba County was over. From the beginning to the end of the meeting, Shigong Huangguang, as the representative of the incorporation of Chiba County, had no intention of showing his extraordinary power in front of the many Chiba families, nor did he have any intention of bringing this group of country people into the command of that adult.

After all, in the eyes of Shinomiya Huangguang and the vast majority of Tokyo dignitaries, it was already a special favor for them to recruit a group of local country folk while retaining certain assets. Do they really want to join the ranks of that adult and get involved in extraordinary powers?

Sorry, you are not qualified.

Even in Tokyo, only those powerful families with great influence and size are qualified to submit to that lord and become a member of his forces, not to mention outside of Tokyo.

The order given to them by that lord was to expand their power and take control of the entire Neon. Since Neon itself was not large, too many members would only make the whole bloated. Therefore, from the very beginning, the powerful families in Tokyo had no intention of letting those local stray dogs come to the table for dinner and reduce the purity of the power under that lord.

Just like today's Chiba County, for those obedient local families, they don't mind using gentle means to recruit them, and for those disobedient local families... they don't mind using some force and means.

Recalling the several Chiba family members who did not attend the meeting today, Shinomiya Huangguang took out his mobile phone and sent the relevant list to the Fujiwara family.

By tomorrow...these families will probably be gone.

After all, the Fujiwara family has certain authority and can mobilize the Black Shadow Corps under the command of that adult.

Violence is always the most direct way to solve problems in this world, and this is especially true when extraordinary violence is inflicted on ordinary people.

"Go back. Tomorrow we have to count the property of those country folks and send people to take over their property."

Shigong Huangguang doesn't care about the property of the Chiba family. He only cares about the sovereignty of Chiba County, which is the task assigned by that adult.

The times have changed now. In reality, it is enough to have enough property. What can truly determine the status of the many powerful people under Lord Anxiu is who can make more contributions to him.

In the next few years, the world will gradually become more and more chaotic. At that time, the points that can be exchanged for extraordinary power from Lord An Xiu will be the hard currency. Without sufficient power, you will only become a fat sheep guarding your property and waiting to be divided up.

Of course, although they said so, they still had to pretend. If they didn't arrange everything before leaving, it would be bad if something went wrong and Lord Anxiu thought that their Shinomiya family had failed in their duty.

......

Just like that, the next day, the Chiba family, which was still immersed in the haze, suddenly received news that something had happened to several local families that did not attend the meeting last night, and all the family members disappeared overnight.

It literally means they disappeared out of thin air, with no one seeing them alive or dead. It is said that the surveillance in the entire Chiba County could not find any trace of these people. There were dozens of people from several families, and all of them left the surveillance range and disappeared into the shadows at some point and never appeared again.

Such a strange situation is undoubtedly frightening. After all, there are nearly a hundred people who just disappeared like that, and even the Chiba Prefecture police could not find any trace of them. In the end, they could only be treated as missing.

All the Chiba families who participated in the meeting naturally knew that things were not that simple, but under such circumstances, no family dared to take the risk and stand up.

Soon, a few more days passed.

The inventory of the Chiba family's property is proceeding in an orderly manner and is now nearing completion.

Inside the Yukinoshita family's mansion, in the hall.

At this moment, Shinomiya Huangguang was slowly looking through the property records of the Yukinoshita family, while the other members of the Yukinoshita family stood by without saying a word.

It was just a job of counting property. Under normal circumstances, there was no need for a person in charge like Sigong Huangguang to be present in person. The reason why he appeared here now was obviously for another reason.

"I heard that your Yukinoshita family has a haunted plot of land?"

"Yes, at first I thought it was just a rumor, but later on, due to some unknown reasons, the construction team suffered heavy casualties, and the project is currently on hold."

Mother Xue spoke with her head lowered, as if she was worried that the adult from Tokyo wouldn't believe her, so she added another sentence.

"I swear in the name of the head of the Yukinoshita family that what we say about this matter is true. Please believe me."

"Don't worry, I naturally believe this matter. After all... I know more than you do."

Shinomiya Huangguang put down the property records in his hand, then looked at Yukinoshita Haruno who was standing next to Yuki's mother, and Yukinoshita Yukino who was standing next to her sister without saying a word because she had been told not to speak in advance.

"Your Yukinoshita family is quite lucky. The shrine of that master will be completed soon, and that miko is in need of a powerful evil spirit to practice with. And your Yukinoshita family happened to encounter this kind of thing at this time."

"Let your people go to Tokyo, go to that adult's shrine, and find that adult's miko. That adult's miko can help you solve this matter."

He took out a pen and paper from his arms and wrote down the address of the shrine. Then he took out a badge representing his membership in the faction and handed it to Xue Mu.

"Be thankful. Local stray dogs are not qualified to know such things. Seize the opportunity, and your Yukinoshita family will be able to see another world."

"This badge, representing your identity, is temporarily lent to the Yukinoshita family by me on behalf of the Shinomiya family. Its function is limited to allowing you to enter the shrine of that master, so... be sure not to lose it."

"If the emblem representing the Shinomiya family's identity is lost, and your Yukinoshita family does not seize this opportunity, then the Yukinoshita family will no longer need to exist."

After saying these words, Shinomiya Huangguang got up and left the Yukinoshita family, leaving only Yuki's mother holding the shrine address and the identity badge left by the Shinomiya family in her hand, thinking about Shinomiya Huangguang's meaningful advice just now.

Do Shinomiya Huangguang and the Shinomiya family behind him know more than the Yukinoshita family?

If they seize the opportunity, the Yukinoshita family, who are not qualified to know some things, will be able to see another world?

And the adult he mentioned, as well as the shrine and miko of that adult...

Her fingers were tightly gripping the address and emblem of the shrine, turning a little white. Yuki's mother turned her head to look at Yukinoshita Haruno, who was also deep in thought beside her.

And Yukinoshita Haruno immediately understood what her mother meant.

Although it is still unclear what the meaning of those words just now is, Shinomiya Huangguang and the Shinomiya family behind him have no need to fool the Yukinoshita family. Therefore, there is no doubt that the Yukinoshita family must visit this shrine whose address was specially left.

As for the candidate, it was naturally Yukinoshita Haruno, who had just visited Tokyo not long ago.
