Chapter 342: I'll Give You the Chance, Let You Make the First Move
Hiss! The Qinglong Society's development speed, is it really this fast?
For a moment, when everyone around heard Araki Shiro's words, they couldn't help but gasp.
Such a terrifying development speed indeed overturned everyone present.
All along, Southeast Asia has been the most chaotic place.
There are not only the forces of various major clans there, but also the chaotic local armed forces throughout the Golden Triangle.
Not only in Asia, but even globally, Southeast Asia can be considered the most chaotic place.
The forces in this region are even more chaotic compared to the Middle East.
However,
The boxer before us actually created the "Qinglong Society"! And grew a tiny force into one that swept through Chiang Rai Province and Chiang Mai Province in Southeast Asia in just a few months.
Such a terrifying growth speed, the expansion is too severe.
How could this be? A boxer, how could he have such great power?
At this time,
Everyone around sized up Chen Jie eating fruit, vigilance rising in their hearts.
Many people present had witnessed Chen Jie's boxing matches.
Many even shouted and cheered for Chen Jie from ringside.
However,
Chen Jie's demeanor at this moment had a very large gap from his dominating side on the ring.
Many only recognized Chen Jie at this moment.
At this time,
Chen Jie ate fruit while quietly listening to Araki Shiro introduce him to everyone.
Truthfully, especially when the other party spoke of the Qinglong Society's growth and expansion.
Standing at a third-party bystander's angle, Chen Jie actually felt a sense of emotion, this feeling was hard to describe in simple words.
"It seems you've investigated our Qinglong Society very thoroughly!"
"It took no little time, right? Could it be your Inagawa-kai also wants to develop in Southeast Asia?"
Chen Jie said with a calm face, sizing up Araki Shiro with a half-smile, his expression meaningful.
Araki Shiro raised his head and let out a cold laugh, saying in a deep voice: "No need to hide it from you, if it weren't for your Qinglong Society causing too much commotion in Southeast Asia, and you sweeping away over a hundred million Mei Yuan from me in the boxing match a few days ago!"
"I still wouldn't have paid this much attention to your Qinglong Society, an investigation only revealed that the Qinglong Society's forces in Southeast Asia have actually expanded this fast?"
"Truly unexpected, I only stopped paying attention to Southeast Asia for a few months, and such a powerful force actually emerged, even the Yamaguchi-gumi's branch in Southeast Asia is deeply wary of you."
Chen Jie nodded, hehe laughing:
"Good, you actually went to Southeast Asia to investigate us!"
"It seems your Inagawa-kai has already understood our Qinglong Society's development direction."
"Hehe, looking at your current demeanor, it seems——you're afraid of us?"
Araki Shiro took a deep breath, saying in a deep voice: "Of course I'm afraid! With your Qinglong Society's current development momentum, who wouldn't be afraid?"
"Your expansion speed is too fast, Southeast Asia can no longer feed your appetite."
"Hua Xia Chen Jie, if I haven't guessed wrong, you want to take advantage of this opportunity to expand to all of Asia, right?"
Chen Jie put down the fruit in his hand, raised his head to look at Araki Shiro, smiled and said: "What do you say?"
Araki Shiro narrowed his eyes, continued:
"In Southeast Asia, perhaps we have no way to deal with you, but, kid, don't forget, this is South Korea's Busan!"
"Your appetite is too big, or rather, your Qinglong Society is too confident, daring to attend this gathering?"
"Do you really not put the other Asian forces in your eyes?"
"Young man, I admit on the ring, no one in Asia can defeat you, your strength is indeed very strong!"
"But you are flesh and blood, you can't block bullets, hope you don't get too arrogant."
Chen Jie laughed heartily, indifferently saying:
"A man not arrogant wastes his youth! Araki Shiro, right? You're the Inagawa Association's Senior Advisor? Why didn't your Fifth Generation come?"
"This Busan Conference is to discuss the regional and interest divisions of Asia's various major forces, you've been pressing aggressively, targeting our Qinglong Society, what do you want to do?"
"Could it be your Inagawa-kai wants to clash with our Qinglong Society in Busan, South Korea?"
"Huh? The organizer's Person in Charge, General Kim Taeseok, has come, let's see what his opinion is?"
Chen Jie suddenly raised his head to look toward the Cruise Ship Conference Hall's entrance.
Before boarding the cruise ship, Fatty Wang Hou had already shown Chen Jie all the representatives of the various forces at this gathering.
The organizer of this gathering in Busan, South Korea, is a South Korean giant——General Kim Taeseok!
He is currently a retired South Korean general.
After retiring at the end of last century, he gathered a batch of retired soldiers and created the largest force in East Asia——the "Ixin Society".
In Busan, South Korea, even the Seven Star Hall's people must give the "Ixin Society" face.
Just at this time,
Only to see a tall old man in his sixties wearing a military uniform walk in.
Two rows of armed-to-the-teeth guards followed beside him, giving an extremely strong oppression.
You should know, before boarding the cruise ship, almost everyone, even including bodyguards, was not allowed to carry firearms.
The Qinglong Society, including Chen Jie, could only carry samurai swords.
Yet this old man who just walked into the cruise ship conference hall had two rows of soldiers actually holding assault rifles.
Worthy of being the organizer, enjoying special privileges.
At this time,
After this tall elder entered the conference hall, he nodded at everyone around him, signaling everyone to sit down.
A moment later,
This South Korean big shot, who looked to have a vigorous aura and a resolute face, noticed Chen Jie.
He sized Chen Jie up and down, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Immediately after,
He turned his head to look at the fatty Wang Hou standing beside Chen Jie, nodded with a smile and said: "Boss Wang, long time no see, have you been well these years?"
Fatty Wang Hou nodded and said: "Not bad! A few years ago something happened, I ran to the Wa State Concentration Camp to hide."
"I haven't been out long either, taking advantage of this gathering in Busan, South Korea, I followed our Dragon Head to see if we could find a way to strike it rich."
"Coming to Busan, South Korea this time, I hope General Jin can give us some guidance!"
It could be seen that fatty Wang Hou had dealt with this General Jin of the South Korean 'Yixin Society' before, the two were very familiar with each other.
Kim Taeseok was flattered very comfortably by fatty Wang Hou's words.
He laughed heartily and said: "Boss Wang, rest assured, at this gathering of Asia's various forces, your interests will not be affected."
Wang Hou did not act very excited, saying calmly: "Good! Many thanks for General Jin's care."
At this time,
Sitting not far from Chen Jie, Asawaqi from the Central Asian 'Old Gun Society' laughed loudly and said:
"General Jin handles matters fairly and reasonably, don't just look after Boss Wang, you have to look at our Central Asian 'Old Gun Society' too!"
"Our interests are equally important, if anyone wants to take away our share of the benefits, our 'Old Gun Society' won't agree."
Kim Taeseok raised his head to look around, saying calmly:
"Every force coming to Busan, South Korea, we treat everyone with sincerity."
"However, inviting everyone to Busan this time, I believe everyone should be very clear about the purpose of the gathering!"
"In recent years, there have been quite a few emerging forces across Asia, the previously divided regions need to be re-planned. Cooperation leads to mutual benefit, if everyone is hostile to each other, no one will have food to eat!"
"Especially recently the Global Underground Boxing Championship is about to open, the benefits of underground boxing are very large."
"According to predictions, this year's global underground boxing, within our Asian region, the boxing benefits will be more than fifty percent higher than the previous session!"
"So, this is also the reason why our South Korea Busan and Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi, after consultation, had everyone come to South Korea for the gathering."
"This time's division of boxing interests across Asia, we must make adjustments, hoping everyone can reach a consensus!"
Asia's various forces came to Busan, South Korea for the gathering.
The real purpose was actually for the division of interests for this session of the Global Underground Boxing Championship.
No one wants to suffer a loss, the underground boxing interests are this large, if they cannot cooperate and each fights their own battle, it is very easy to trigger intense conflict.
So, according to the gathering's plan, every force has its own region.
In this way, the chances of various forces erupting in conflict will be much fewer.
Have to say,
The idea is good, but to execute it, there must be a super large force to maintain order.
That is to say, there must be a large force to suppress the scene.
Otherwise no one submits to anyone, no gathering will work.
Before this,
South Korea's 'Yixin Society' and 'Seven Star Hall', as well as 'Yamaguchi-gumi' and 'Inagawa-kai' and other forces, were enough to suppress the scene.
But now, the situation has developed too fast.
Any force wanting to dominate alone, wanting to suppress the scene again, that is not so easy anymore.
Sitting in the very middle, leaning next to Kim Taeseok, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in a Wall Street suit.
He looked refined and gentle, just like a white-collar worker.
However,
No one present dared to show any disrespect to this refined and gentle middle-aged man.
Ishii Takashi! The person in charge of Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi in South Korea.
At this time,
Ishii Takashi said calmly: "General Jin, our Yamaguchi-gumi has no other requirements for this gathering!"
"As for market share and regions, let's still handle it as before, our Yamaguchi-gumi's region remains unchanged, no need to add any extra regions."
"South Korea's boxing market here, we need thirty percent, China's underground boxing market, our Yamaguchi-gumi takes twenty percent, as for Southeast Asia, still the old rules——!"
Beside him, 'Old Gun Society' Asawaqi coldly laughed and said:
"Ishii Takashi, what do you mean?"
"If it's the same as before, then why hold a meeting?"
"Didn't you hear South Korea's Mr. Kim's meaning just now? This time having everyone come over is to re-plan regions."
"Your Japan Yamaguchi-gumi occupies the best regions, has the greatest benefits, and doesn't let all our forces enter Japan's underground boxing market."
"Old rules! Hmph, who gave you the courage to always want old rules?"
Yamaguchi-gumi's Ishii Takashi, hearing this, coldly snorted and said: "How do you 'Old Gun Society' want it?"
"Asawaqi, our Yamaguchi-gumi has no interest in your Central Asian boxing market."
"If you want to enter Japan's boxing market, we are very welcome, as long as you dare come——!"
"My participation in this gathering is just one sentence, old rules, I don't occupy everyone's regions and territory, just need to maintain the previous ones!"
"If you don't agree, no problem, our Yamaguchi-gumi will make you agree!"
Bang! Only to see Asawaqi from the Central Asian 'Old Gun Society' suddenly stand up.
He pointed at Ishii Takashi's nose and roared:
"Ishii Takashi, don't be too arrogant. Times are different now; your Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi can't cover the sky with one hand in Asia."
"Our Old Gun Society can't get into Rishima's underground boxing market, but you don't even think about monopolizing other places in Asia."
"South Korea's market—you want to take thirty percent. On what basis?"
"Believe it or not, I'll drive all your forces out of Central Asia?"
Slap—slap—slap—! Chen Jie heard this and suddenly clapped for Asawaqi.
He stood up unhurriedly, smiled at those around him, and said:
"Asawaqi, your suggestion is very good. I support you driving the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi out of Central Asia?"
"What era is it now, and they still want benefits? Who gave them face?"
Asawaqi heard that Qinglong Society's Dragon Head Chen Jie would actually stand up and support him.
Suddenly,
he felt he had confidence, and laughed wildly at Ishii Takashi:
"See that, Ishii Takashi? It's not just me who thinks so—everyone thinks so!"
"Your Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi wants to go by the old rules. On what basis?"
"Is it because you have money, or because you have many people?"
Ishii Takashi furrowed his brow slightly, his gaze cold as he stared at Chen Jie and said: "Hua Xia Chen Jie, the score between us will eventually be settled with your Qinglong Society."
"Your Qinglong Society in Southeast Asia—our Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi might be wary of you by three parts."
"But don't forget, this is Han Guo Fu Shan. You want to show off your Yamaguchi-gumi here—you've picked the wrong target!"
"Even if you are a fierce dragon crossing the river, our Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi has enough strength to turn you into a dead snake!"
Chen Jie heard this and was stunned.
He sized up Ishii Takashi from top to bottom for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Interesting. It seems your Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi wants to openly go to war with our Qinglong Society!"
"Come on. I'm sitting right here, and there are only a few people around me!"
"If you think you can take down a few of us, I'll give you the chance now—let you strike first."
"I really want to see how you turn our Qinglong Society into a dead snake."
Asawaqi beside him couldn't help but laugh wildly at this moment.
Because just now, when he and Ishii Takashi were arguing, Chen Jie stood up and said a couple of words for him.
So at this time, Asawaqi seemed to have a good impression of Chen Jie, and naturally placed himself and the Qinglong Society on the same side.
He shouted at Ishii Takashi: "Ishii Takashi, don't forget—this is Han Guo Fu Shan, not your Rishima Tokyo!"
"If you won't give face to the monk, give face to the Buddha. You can refuse to give face to South Korea Han Guo Fu Shan's Seven Star Hall, but surely you'll give face to Yixin Society General Kim Taeseok?"
"Could it be that your Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi no longer puts any forces in South Korea in your eyes?"
One has to say,
everyone has a capacity for empathy.
When arguing with someone, if someone beside them chimes in, their heart involuntarily regards the other as friendly.
Perhaps because the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi's forces were indeed very large.
Even reaching a point where an organization like Central Asia's Old Gun Society couldn't counterbalance them.
So, when Chen Jie stood up to speak for Asawaqi, Asawaqi had already regarded Chen Jie as an ally.
At the same time,
Asawaqi was not stupid. When chiming in for Chen Jie, he deliberately brought up South Korea Han Guo Fu Shan's Seven Star Hall and Yixin Society.
For a moment, inside the cruise ship's Conference Hall, the atmosphere became tense with drawn swords and nocked bows, very nervous.
