Chapter 1037: Nagayama-gumi, disband!!
In the gap of the rainy season, Naoki Nagayama returned to Shizuoka.
Naturally, he first returned to his old home, but there was no one in the old house. His mother, who is usually there, was not at home today.
It wasn't until he went to the izakaya and saw his father and older brother that he learned his mother's whereabouts.
"Your mother went to the old house in Shimizu to help out!" Father Ken Nagayama served Naoki Nagayama a specially made set meal and looked at his second son. "Your uncle was seriously injured and needs to recuperate. Your grandfather is also sick at this time, so Mom went to help take care of them..."
The old house in Shimizu is the headquarters of the Nagayama-gumi. Grandfather and Uncle Xiong Yuan's original wives have both passed away, and usually, it's a group of men... Even if the subordinates can help serve tea and water, it is still better for women to take care of sick people.
And when the leaders of two generations are both sick, in order to boost confidence, secrets need to be kept, so hiring outside nannies and caregivers is not possible...
Older brother Aoki also adds from the side:
"After Mom heard about it, she said she would go help take care of them for a while... After all, it's Grandfather..."
Naoki Nagayama shrugs. According to the current atmosphere in Japan, it is only natural for a daughter-in-law to take care of her father-in-law and mother-in-law~
However, it was only after the two families became closer in the past few years that she would go. If it were five years ago, his mother would probably only go to visit...
"Are you back specifically to visit Grandfather, Naoki?" Older brother Aoki asks.
"Actually, I came to visit Uncle... I heard from Brother Feng that the injury was quite serious." Naoki Nagayama says while eating. "I didn't expect Grandfather to also fall ill..."
"After all, he is old and suddenly so tired..."
Grandfather's body is actually considered gifted, otherwise he wouldn't have been so successful in the early yakuza days in Japan. It's just that he was injured many times when he was young, and there were several times when he was injured at the root, so he is weaker than other old people when he gets old~
After finishing the specially made set meal in a few bites, Naoki Nagayama says to his father and older brother:
"Then I will go to Shimizu now... Akina is more dependent on me now, so I will return to Tokyo directly tonight and won't come over..."
"Hmm..." Father packs a food box and hands it to Naoki Nagayama, which contains fish and other food prepared in advance. "Take this to your mother..."
"Is Father so concerned about Mother?" Naoki Nagayama laughs and teases, "Afraid Mother won't eat well for just a few days?!"
"!!!"
Father Ken Nagayama is speechless for a moment, and his originally somewhat dark skin turns red visibly,
"I... I am..."
"Alright, alright!"
Naoki Nagayama doesn't even give him time to explain, directly carrying the food box and walking out the door, leaving his father with a flushed face and his older brother giggling in the izakaya...
The love of an old married couple~
Driving his sports car directly to Shimizu, he drives towards the ancestral home with familiarity.
The security level near the old house has clearly risen. In the surrounding houses, shops, and restaurants, you can see groups of two or three burly men looking sharply at people heading to the old house.
"Boss Naoki!"
The subordinate guarding the door is Yuan Hongdou. He still remembers Naoki Nagayama's car and bows to greet him when he sees him get out of the car.
"Ah, Hongdou-kun..."
Naoki Nagayama greets him with a smile. He really can't change the title of "Boss." This is the culture of yakuza organizations... Not to mention that everyone knows that the KTV, which is currently the biggest source of income for the organization, was initiated by Naoki Nagayama and Feng Yongshan...
"Grandfather and Uncle are both at the ancestral home, right?"
"Hai! Both are recuperating..."
Yuan Hongdou nods and immediately leads the way for Naoki Nagayama.
After stepping into the courtyard, Naoki Nagayama finds that there are many more security personnel inside, and Shogo Hanada is leading several people to patrol along a certain route.
It is said that the aristocratic residences in ancient times all had the function of defending against foreign enemies, and Naoki Nagayama has seen it...
After reaching the bedroom, a somewhat exhausted Feng Yongshan comes out to greet him:
"Naoki, you're here..."
"Hmm, I originally wanted to visit Uncle... but I heard from Father that Grandfather also fell ill..." Naoki Nagayama stops smiling. "How is the situation now?"
"Grandfather suddenly forced himself to stay up for two days, plus the weather, so he fell ill... He is a bit weak now, but he is fine."
Feng Yongshan explains while walking,
"As for my father, he is young after all and has slowly recovered, he just lost a lot of blood and needs to recuperate well for a period of time."
"Then how are you?"
Naoki Nagayama looks at this cousin who seems to have suddenly matured by several years, somewhat moved. Father and Grandfather fell ill one after another, and the Nagayama-gumi has been relying on him to support it these past few days.
"Me?" Feng Yongshan is stunned for a moment and laughs. "I'm fine. Father not falling is the best result... Being in the yakuza is just like this~"
"So, it's better not to be in the yakuza!"
"Hmm..."
First, he comes to Uncle Xiong Yuan's bedroom. The originally strong uncle is lying motionless on the tatami, still on an IV drip, but because his body is weak, he is currently sleeping...
This is a good thing; sleep is the best way for the human body to recover, so Naoki Nagayama doesn't disturb him.
Walking to the bedroom, Naoki Nagayama sees his mother feeding Grandfather porridge.
"Mother..." Naoki Nagayama calls out, "Grandfather..."
Nanako Nagayama looks up and sees her son coming, surprise appearing in her eyes:
"Naoki, why are you here?"
"Came to visit Uncle..." Naoki Nagayama raises the food box in his hand. "When passing by the old home, Father entrusted me to bring some food..."
"Oh my... why is it so troublesome..."
Mother Nanako complains with her mouth, but a smile appears on her face, and she reaches out to take the food box and walks towards the kitchen.
And Grandfather, who is lying on the tatami, half-sitting against the stacked quilts, looks at this scene gently.
"Grandfather..."
Naoki Nagayama and Feng Yongshan kneel on the tatami beside him and ask softly,
"How is your body?"
"Ha, I was too tired by accident, so I was taken advantage of by the cold air... When people get old, it's like this! Anyway, there aren't many years left~"
Hayato Nagayama is very open-minded. To be precise, ever since "The Legend of Hayato" was broadcast, his attitude towards life has become broad-minded.
If it weren't for the fact that this time it involved the life and death of his son, maybe even if the Nagayama-gumi disbanded, he wouldn't have worked so hard and made himself sick.
After all, even if the Nagayama-gumi disbanded, the current Nagayama family has a promising industry...
"Grandfather must take care of his body..." Naoki Nagayama advises, "Akina will give birth to a baby in two months, and Brother Feng's son will also be born this year. Grandfather will soon be able to see two great-grandchildren..."
Feng Yongshan's wife, Xinhai Nagayama, is also pregnant, four months along, and is expected to give birth to a baby at the end of the year...
"Hahaha, that's true!"
Grandfather laughs very heartily. Actually, Aoki Nagayama has already given birth to a Wild Grass Nagayama, and the wish of four generations under one roof has been completed.
But the fourth generation of the Nagayama family is growing, and great-grandchildren are indeed what Grandfather wants to see. Bloodline continuation is one of the most important things for their generation.
"I just fell ill from exhaustion. With your mother's care, I will recover soon..."
Hayato Nagayama says with a smile.
The grandfather and grandsons continue to chat about this matter. The consequences of Uncle Xiong Yuan's actions in Kobe are very serious. Kobe City has already begun to impose martial law, and the Ichiwa-kai's retaliation against the Yamaguchi-gumi is no longer limited to Xiong Yuan himself.
"Need to get Xiong Yuan out of there!" Hayato Nagayama says.
"But Uncle assassinated the leader of the Ichiwa-kai..." Naoki Nagayama is somewhat puzzled. "How can this kind of thing be solved?"
"Let Xiong Yuan issue a retirement statement!" Hayato Nagayama says, then takes a deep breath and says seriously, "Nagayama-gumi, disband!"
"Ah?!" X2
Not only Naoki Nagayama, but even Feng Yongshan is very surprised.
You know, the Nagayama-gumi is Grandfather's life's work...
Moreover, even if the Nagayama-gumi disbands, it doesn't necessarily mean the Ichiwa-kai will give up on killing Uncle...
"Hiroshi Yamamoto is already dead... He has no blood relatives occupying high positions... No one will hold onto it."
Hayato Nagayama is very calm when speaking, even somewhat cold,
"No matter what, Xiong Yuan has the righteousness of avenging the fourth-generation leader. The Yamaguchi-gumi cannot sit idly by."
Just like the original fourth-generation leader, Masahisa Takenaka, after being assassinated, only the two brothers of the Takenaka family kept demanding revenge. Other direct-line leaders of the Yamaguchi-gumi just helped shout.
This time, Xiong Yuan took out Hiroshi Yamamoto of the Ichiwa-kai, and only the two from the Takenaka family expressed support.
But speaking of which, Xiong Yuan avenged the fourth-generation leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, which no one can deny.
"And Shigemasa Kamoda of the Ichiwa-kai won't let the Ichiwa-kai and Nagayama-gumi fight to the death for a dead person!"
The yakuza is like this. The ultimate goal of forming an organization is just to make money. The so-called loyalty is just a layer of skin that looks good, just for the low-level subordinates to see.
Hayato Nagayama looks at Feng Yongshan and Naoki Nagayama in front of him and laughs:
"It's fine to disband. Anyway, Feng doesn't want to take over now... Naoki is even less likely..."
That is to say, after Xiong Yuan, the Nagayama-gumi will no longer be surnamed Nagayama... It's better to take this opportunity to start whitewashing directly!
Anyway, after this time, Xiong Yuan probably won't continue to dream of being the Yamaguchi-gumi leader...
This old man looks at the two most promising grandsons in front of him and shows a gratified smile:
"Forget about organizations and such!"
When he first joined the yakuza and created the Nagayama-gumi, wasn't it because he didn't want to be at the bottom for the rest of his life and couldn't get ahead?
Now he has achieved success and become a legend of the yakuza... And the careers of his two grandsons are booming, and they have both become people above others. The mission of the yakuza organization has already been completed!
In the future, the yakuza background might be a burden for Naoki Nagayama and Feng Yongshan!
"My descendants will be doctors, professors, lawyers, businessmen, and even politicians in the future..."
After talking for a while, Grandfather's expression is somewhat tired, and Naoki Nagayama and Feng Yongshan also tactfully say goodbye.
"Mother, you also need to pay attention to your body, don't be too tired..." Naoki Nagayama says to Mother Nanako. "We can hire two professional caregivers from Tokyo to help take care of Grandfather and Uncle..."
Whether it is Naoki Nagayama or Feng Yongshan, relying on their current wealth and status, they can even hire a medical team to take care of them!
"Daijobu!"
Mother Nanako waves her hand, signaling Naoki Nagayama not to worry,
"I'm just cooking, serving tea and water... It's the same at home. Besides, there are so many people..."
Even if there is anything inconvenient, she can call the subordinates... There are many subordinates in the old house, and Mother can call out a dozen burly men with just one shout.
"Okay... If there is anything, call me..."
"Hmm..." Mother Nanako nods, and then asks, "How is Akina now?"
"Her body is very good... but she can't sit or move for a long time... She can't always be in one posture when sleeping..." Naoki Nagayama laughs. "And she can't not see me all day..."
"It's always like this when pregnant, sticking to the husband's side... You have to be tolerant..."
Nanako Nagayama gives a few instructions. As a woman, she understands the feelings of a pregnant wife very well.
Then she looks at Feng Yongshan beside her,
"Feng, you too... Xinhai-chan is pregnant, so take good care of her... Naoki is still a bit better... The other men in the Nagayama family don't know how to cherish their wives!"
"......?"
Feng Yongshan is confused and was scolded for no reason...
However, as the only older woman in the Nagayama family, Nanako Nagayama is naturally qualified to warn them. What's more, she is taking care of her father and grandfather!
"Hai......"
Feng Yongshan can only nod in agreement, indicating that he will definitely take good care of Xinhai Nagayama when he goes back...
After Mother returns to the house, Naoki Nagayama and Feng Yongshan walk in the courtyard for a while, and then come to the study where Grandfather often stays.
There are quite a few books on the bookshelf, all used to put on a front... There are also "Tokyo Love Story," "Lost Paradise," "My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday," "Koizora," "Love Letter," "Xia Zhiting," etc., all of Naoki Nagayama's novels.
Most of the books are brand new, only "Lost Paradise" and "Xia Zhiting" seem to be frequently read...
The two sit on the cushions, heating a pot of tea and sipping slowly...
"Brother Feng, if the Nagayama-gumi disbands... what about so many subordinates?"
"It won't disband all at once... Father is still here!" Feng Yongshan thinks for a while. "The KTV side can arrange for some of the backbone, and then some of the older and more senior ones will be given severance pay or helped to open a shop to make a living..."
"The remaining young people who just joined not long ago." Feng Yongshan pauses. "If they want to continue in the yakuza, find a leader and change a name... Relying on the remaining prestige of the Nagayama-gumi, they can continue to be powerful in Shizuoka for a few years..."
The Nagayama-gumi is considered a voluntary disbandment. The leader and the old leader are both there, and the manpower has not decreased. Even the financial situation within the organization is very good, so the members will not scatter like birds and beasts.
Members need to be resettled, territory needs to be handed over, the structure needs to be adjusted, and it cannot cause turmoil in the entire Shizuoka. The disbandment and resettlement process of the entire organization is measured in years.
It is very likely that it will eventually decompose into several small organizations, re-occupying the territory of the original Nagayama-gumi~
It's not like some companies, where a layoff notice in the early morning, a sentence "You are fired," can fire all the employees, without even giving compensation...
"As for the others..." Feng Yongshan looks at Naoki Nagayama. "Didn't Naoki mention an industry that is very suitable before?"
"Ah? What?"
"Milk tea shop!"
Feng Yongshan laughs,
"Use the organization's funds to open more milk tea shops and let them go sell milk tea!"
"......."
Alright, the end of the gang is the milk tea shop...
Feng Yongshan in the study talks methodically about the plan after the Nagayama-gumi disbands. After several years of business training, this cousin is no longer a reckless young man.
After starting a family, he has become even more mature and steady. Unknowingly, he has enough say in the family to make decisions on behalf of his father and grandfather.
"Brother Feng, this is a big matter... can't be too hasty..."
"Hmm, I understand!"
Feng Yongshan nods,
"Wait for Grandfather and Father to get better, and negotiate well with the Yamaguchi-gumi and Ichiwa-kai people..."
This kind of negotiation requires inviting a respected mediator in the yakuza, usually a boss of an organization with a long history, who has a good relationship with various organizations... Invite people from both or three sides to sit together and discuss how to solve it, and only then will a conclusion be reached.
However, no matter what, the disbandment of a large organization is already the top-level explanation.
You can't really let the organization leader commit suicide, right?!
Otherwise, relying on the current strength of the Nagayama-gumi, Hayato Nagayama and Xiong Yuan fighting to the death, they might be able to cripple both the Yamaguchi-gumi and Ichiwa-kai organizations... and might even take away successors like Shigemasa Kamoda.
Although the Nagayama-gumi will also perish, the ones who will pick up the bargain will be the Inagawa-kai and Sumiyoshi-kai!
Whether it is the Yamaguchi-gumi or the Ichiwa-kai, they are all here to make money!
How could an organization leader with an annual income of hundreds of millions be willing to risk both sides suffering and even his life to avenge a dead person?! ===== CHAPTER 1038 =====
