Chapter 372

Actually, regardless of whether the Inokawa Association wins or loses, their fate is already sealed; the back‑room deal is done, and the public face of the Inokawa Association has no right to object.

Nobody wants to hear their opinion!

This fight was quite interesting; on the surface the losses seemed not small, but only the elite of the Inokawa Association were completely wiped out.

Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-kai, Shin'yu-gumi — when the three saw that the Inokawa Association had no one left, they all stopped fighting in unison.

They could all accept this result: the Yamaguchi-gumi vented their anger, the Sumiyoshi-kai took a bite of the fat, letting the Inokawa Association take the blame, and they had no objections.

The Shin'yu-gumi had even less to say; the Inokawa Association's turf was waiting for them to take over!

After the fight, they still had to settle accounts; this is customary everywhere.

Hongxin Hotel, Shinjuku Ward.

The heads of the four organizations all came: Yamaguchi-gumi's Kusakari Ichiro, Sumiyoshi-kai's Watanabe Saburo, Inokawa Association's Inoue Ichi, and Shin'yu-gumi's Yamashita Tadahide.

Their expressions varied, but only Inoue Ichi looked the worst.

He cursed inwardly, 'Damn it! The four groups fought, and they wiped out the Inokawa Association's elite — are you three acting against me?'

Kusakari Ichiro spoke first: 'The spark of this incident is the Inokawa Association, Inoue-kun; your Inokawa Association has been stirring up trouble everywhere and must take responsibility for this.'

Watanabe Saburo echoed: 'Exactly, this is the Inokawa Association's problem. As punishment, you must withdraw from Kyoto, and your territory will be taken over by the Shin'yu-gumi. Inoue-kun, do you have any objections?'

"Objections? I have plenty of objections!"

Inoue Ichi pointed at Watanabe Saburo and cursed: 'You bastard, wasn't it your Sumiyoshi-kai that started this?'

"Without you starting it, we Inokawa Association wouldn't have moved against the Yamaguchi-gumi; now you're pretending to be a good guy — can't you show some face?"

Watanabe Saburo curled his lip in disdain and replied: 'Inoue-kun, the misunderstanding between our Sumiyoshi-kai and the Yamaguchi-gumi has been cleared up, so whether you agree or not, you must withdraw from Kyoto.'

"Otherwise, you'll face the encirclement and suppression of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-kai, and Shin'yu-gumi — don't resist, it's useless."

Well, PY deals aren't just in Gangdao; Japan is no exception.

Kusakari Ichiro and Watanabe Saburo reached an agreement, handing the Inokawa Association's territory to the Shin'yu-gumi, thus ending their grudge.

Watanabe Saburo would hardly disagree with such a good thing; 'die a fellow Daoist, not a poor Daoist,' the two concluded their talk in a friendly atmosphere.

That's how today's scene came about — the three groups jointly squeezed the Inokawa Association.

Kusakari Ichiro then said to Inoue Ichi: 'Inoue-kun, after you withdraw from Kyoto, there are still plenty of opportunities elsewhere; we won't drive you to extinction, the Inokawa Association will still have a livelihood — don't be greedy.'

Yamashita Tadahide also added: 'Inoue-kun, in my view, we could just beat you out; there's no need to go through all this trouble negotiating.'

"But we can't deny face to Chairman Kusakari and President Watanabe, so the three of us are discussing this with you politely; if you don't want to accept this face, then hand over all the insides of your Inokawa Association."

"Given the Inokawa Association's current state, even our Shin'yu-gumi alone could not stop you, let alone this being a joint decision of the three — you have no qualification to resist."

Inoue Ichi felt a wave of sorrow; the decision made by those three bastards left him truly unable to resist.

Because a widow sleeping on a cold kang has no one behind her!

He had called Tsukamoto Yu, who replied in one sentence that he wouldn't intervene; whether they could stand firm in Kyoto depended entirely on the Inokawa Association's own abilities.

They couldn't even get a foothold, not even a hair's worth — let alone a solid base!

Inoue Ichi slammed the table, shouting angrily: 'We, the Inokawa Association, will remember your three families' kindness; we'll see how this plays out.'

He then rose and left the Hongxin Hotel, uttering a few tough words — this was Inoue Ichi's final stubbornness.

That night, the Shin'yu-gumi moved into the Inokawa Association's territory.

Nothing unpleasant happened, after all, the situation was stronger than the people.

This great melee of Kyoto yakuza organizations, with the big four fighting, ended by directly kicking out the third-place group from Kyoto.

Although the Shin'yu-gumi still had power in Kyoto, in the yakuza organization rankings they were third, and the Inokawa Association stepped aside to let them have the position.

……

Li Xin sat on the sofa and said to Kusakari Ichiro: 'Langzai, your wedding should be arranged; after I attend your wedding, I will return to Gangdao.'

Kusakari Ichiro pretended to retain him: 'Xin-ge, why not stay a bit longer in Japan? That way I can show my sincerity.'

In that guy's heart, Li Xin and his people would never come to Japan again; that was his true intention.

Especially that evil ghost Cao Nan!

Although Li Xin didn't know what that guy was thinking, by putting himself in his shoes he could guess roughly.

"It's rare that Langzai is so filial; then I'll stay a bit longer?"

Upon hearing that, Kusakari Ichiro wanted to slap himself twice — why was his mouth so cheap?

Now he's stirred up trouble, huh!

Li Xin saw Kusakari Ichiro about to cry in frustration and laughed, scolding: 'All right! Since you don't want to see me, after your wedding I'll head straight back to Gangdao and won't cause you trouble.'

Kusakari Ichiro and Menuzi's wedding was expedited, with Li Xin attending as Menuzi's godfather.

Seated in a chair, he received their greetings: 'Godfather!'

By now, calling Li Xin the godfather of Japan's yakuza organizations is not an exaggeration; Kusakari Ichiro, head of the Yamaguchi-gumi, is his son-in-law, and the Shin'yu-gumi regards him as a retired emperor.

Of the three major yakuza organizations, two heed his words.

……

Hongxin Hotel.

Kezi got off Li Xin's body, took a towel and wrapped it around herself.

She said reluctantly: 'A Xin, when will you come again?'

Li Xin embraced Kezi, comforting her: 'I have no time; you can go to Gangdao — now you're free, and no one can restrict what you do.'

"The entertainment company's license will be issued in a few days; strive to become a domineering female CEO so I can sponge off you."

Kezi reached her hand into Xiao Xin's room, grasped Xiao Xin, and asked: 'Really? If I can get the entertainment company off the ground, can you let Xiao Xin be used by me?'

Li Xin shoved her hand away and gave her chest a pinch.

"Don't be so selfish; Xiao Xin is also needed by others — do you still want to hog it all?"

Kezi pursed her lips, 'This man!'

He hadn't even put on his pants when he immediately forgot the words spoken in the spring breeze.

It seems the person who just shouted, "Baby, yes, just like that, from now on little Xin will obey your commands," wasn't him at all!

Now Li Xin is acting all tough, but this matter is actually meaningless!

Well, most men are like that; after pulling up their pants, they feel empty, lonely, and satisfied—otherwise why would they smoke a cigarette afterward to relieve that loneliness?

The after-sex cigarette is just sucking on emptiness!

Qingzi flipped over, straddled Li Xin, and, as if venting, said, "I won't let you eat alone—I'll have my fill!"
