Chapter 209: Will not let others lay a finger on it

A look of desire for conquest flickered in the eyes of this Oriental Association president: "Although they are already dead, I still look forward to seeing that scene. Hehe, when that time comes, I will be able to enjoy the feeling of being the master of the Inagawa family..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the room dropped significantly.

"My lord President, isn't your appetite a little too big?" Murakami Hoshizora shook his head gently: "After all, the Inagawa family is not as weak as it appears on the surface."

"Inagawa Ryuichi is dead, so the Inagawa Association is no longer a threat. That bunch of bastards in that gang should have been kicked out of the Orient long ago," said the president.

"However, if that's the case, won't the Inagawa Association be driven to desperate measures?" said Murakami Hoshizora.

"Hmph, I actually hope those idiots jump," the president said, toying with the jade thumb ring in his hand. "Only then can we monopolize Inagawa Ryuichi's treasure."

This guy was truly terrifyingly sinister.

Inagawa Ryuichi's treasure was called a "precious item" by him, but in his view, it was simply a hot potato—after all, with such a huge secret lying there, once it spread, it would inevitably cause a massive uproar!

Therefore, he would rather keep the secret buried forever, never showing it to anyone, than ever let others lay a finger on it!

"By the way, my lord President, the landscape of the Oriental underworld has been changing quite rapidly lately. Those ninja organizations, especially the newly emerging gangs, all seem to have a connection to Inagawa Ryuichi," said Murakami Hoshizora. "It is said that this matter has already alarmed a certain old gentleman in Kyoto."

"It seems this Inagawa Ryuichi still has some influence." The president's gaze darkened slightly as he said, "I originally wanted to take advantage of the time since his death to completely bring the Inagawa Association's industries under my command, but now it seems a bit troublesome. After all, we are not yet strong enough to contend with those old-school gangs."

"My lord President, we could unite with gangs from other countries to carve up the Inagawa Association together," suggested Murakami Hoshizora.

"Not bad, that is indeed a good method." The president smiled. "But will these international gangs agree to our terms? I don't think they would wade into these muddy waters for no reason."

"Of course they are willing to participate. No one wants to miss such a good opportunity. Furthermore, Inagawa Ryuichi is dead, so for these international gangs, they won't lose much. Moreover, if there is a major reshuffling of Oriental syndicates, they can also earn extremely generous rewards. It's a guaranteed win-win deal," said Murakami Hoshizora. "Of course, the Inagawa Association also poses risks, but they have no other choice."

Upon hearing this, the president fell silent for a long while, then shook his head: "No, the Inagawa Association has another path. We can choose not to get involved at all."

After a pause, the president suddenly changed his tune: "However, the Inagawa Association can slow down its actions for now. I want to observe for a while longer to see what kind of backup plans Inagawa Ryuichi actually left behind."

"Understood, I will handle it immediately." After saying this, Murakami Hoshizora left the room.

On this day, Kuchiki Senya finally crawled out of bed.

His eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his facial features were stiff, as if encased in plaster, looking extremely terrifying.

He stood in front of the mirror, stretched his arms, and vigorously moved his body.

Within this body, there was an endless, explosive power, to the point where one could feel a tearing pain in the muscles.

This state was the state he had dreamed of.

Unfortunately, this guy could no longer possess the peak combat power of a twenty-year-old.

Kuchiki Senya stared at the mirror, his eyes filled with resentment.

On this pale face, anger and hatred were written all over.

"Damn Huaxia person, you destroyed everything I had. I will torture you in the most cruel way. I will kill all your friends and family, and let you live in pain, repentance, and regret."

This guy spoke as if he were the president of the Inagawa Association himself.

"I can't wait to see you," the president said. "Who exactly are you? I am looking forward to it."

This guy was clearly in a very pleasant mood.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, you must attend tonight's victory banquet," the president said.

"Alright, no problem." Kuchiki Senya nodded. "Regardless, Inagawa Ryuichi is dead, so for the Inagawa Association, it can be considered a great victory."

"Great victory, my ass."

The president cursed directly!

"If Inagawa Ryuichi hadn't died, we would still have to worry about the Inagawa Association's counterattack. Now, the Inagawa Association is leaderless; this is simply a fat sheep delivered to our door. How could there be any reason to refuse?"

Speaking of this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes, and he clenched his fist and smashed it hard against the table.

Subsequently, the president's voice became a bit hoarse: "I have waited for three years just for this moment. If I can't even defeat the Inagawa Association, how can I talk about revenge?"

He looked very eager for revenge.

Unfortunately, now, even with his ambition, he did not dare to act rashly.

"This time, besides the Inagawa Association, the Hokkai Association and Yamamoto Kyoko will also attend," Kuchiki Senya added.

"The Hokkai Association?" The president narrowed his eyes. "I heard that the situation in Hokkaido is also a free-for-all. If Inagawa Ryuichi is truly dead, will the Inagawa Association follow in the footsteps of Yamamoto Kyoko's father's generation?"

He seemed to have already guessed some clues.

"Yes, a fierce battle between the Inagawa Association and the Hokkai Association is inevitable," said Kuchiki Senya. "I estimate that few people in this world want to see such a result. As long as we fan the flames, the Inagawa Association and the two dark forces of Hokkaido will collide rapidly. At that time..."

"No matter who wins, it's not a bad thing for us," the president said with a smile. "Those international gangs will definitely take advantage of the chaos to swallow up the Inagawa Association's territory, and I will be able to reap huge benefits from it."

...... ....... 0

Speaking of this, he added: "However... I am now looking forward to what news Yamamoto Kyoko will bring this time."

"As far as I know, Yamamoto Kyoko's current situation is not optimistic," Kuchiki Senya shook his head. "That man is too powerful; Yamamoto Kyoko basically won't last long under his hands."

This guy kept saying "they"—could it be that someone else was involved in this matter?

"Isn't this the scene I want to see?" the president said. "The more fiercely they fight each other, the better. When that time comes, the entire Japanese underworld will fall into a bloodbath. For us, this is a good thing."
