Chapter 365

"But if we do that, won't the Daochuan Society panic and lash out?" Kuchiki Senya said.

"Hmph, I actually hope those stupid pigs jump up." The boss toyed with a jade ring on his finger: "Then we can monopolize Kuchiki Ryūichi's treasure."

This guy is terrifyingly cunning.

Kuchiki Ryūichi's treasure was called a "treasure" by him, but in his eyes, it was nothing but a hot potato—after all, such a massive secret lying out in the open would inevitably cause an uproar if it ever got out!

So he'd rather bury the secret forever, never show it to anyone, than let anyone else lay a finger on it!

"By the way, my lord, (bccb) the underworld landscape in the East has been changing rapidly lately; those ninja organizations, especially the newly risen gangs, all seem tied to Kuchiki Ryūichi." Kuchiki Senya said: "It's said this matter has already reached the ears of an elder in Kyoto."

"So Kuchiki Ryūichi still had some influence, huh." The boss's gaze darkened slightly: "I'd planned to seize all Daochuan Society Society's assets during his death, but now it seems troublesome—we're not yet strong enough to challenge those established gangs."

"My lord, we could ally with other countries' gangs and divide up the Daochuan Society together." Kuchiki Senya suggested.

"Not bad, that's indeed a good idea." The boss smiled: "But will these international gangs agree to our terms? I doubt they'd wade into this mess for no reason."

"They'll gladly join—such a golden opportunity, no one would pass up. Besides, with Kuchiki Ryūichi dead, these international gangs won't lose much; and if the East's syndicates get completely reshuffled, they stand to make enormous profits. It's a guaranteed win." Kuchiki Senya said: "Of course, the Daochuan Society carries risk—but they've got no choice left."

The boss fell silent for a long moment, then shook his head: "No, the Daochuan Society has another path—we can choose not to get involved at all."

After a pause, the boss suddenly changed his mind: "Still, we can delay action against the Daochuan Society. I'll observe a while longer, to see what kind of backup plans Kuchiki Ryūichi left behind."

"Understood, I'll handle it immediately." After saying that, Kuchiki Senya left the room.

That day, Kuchiki Senya finally got out of bed.

His eye sockets were sunken, his facial contours rigid, as if encased in plaster—looking utterly terrifying.
