A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1307 Kao Chieh: You're Stealing My Business! (Please Subscribe!)
Hua Shier took two photos from the ones Tai Bao brought over and placed them on the table. One of them was of Aberdeen. He put away the other people's ID photos. If nothing unexpected happened, all of these could be done by the afternoon.

He has now broken down the barriers between the two sides, reaching a point where citizenship can be processed even without the applicant's presence, using only a photo.

Of course, it is only in this era, when everything is done manually, that there are loopholes to exploit. If we enter a future era of fully automated, networked work, then obtaining citizenship will be even simpler.

Have you heard of the T1000? Ever heard of a smart brain? If Hua Twelve wanted to, he could even get a husky Japanese citizenship!

As Hua Shier put away the other photos and pushed the remaining two back, Taibao asked in confusion:

"Brother Tie, what's wrong with these two?"

Hua Shier pointed to one of the photos:
"Before I came out, I saw this person's wanted poster in town. This person committed robbery and murder back in his hometown."

Taibao hadn't expected this reason and couldn't help but laugh:
"Brother Tie, there are so many people like this who come from the same line!"

Hua Twelve coughed lightly:
"As everyone knows, I am a kind person and have always abided by the law. I certainly cannot help such a person!"

Taibao helplessly pointed to another photo:
"And this one? His name is Aberdeen, he's one of my younger brothers!"

Hua Shier looked at the photo of Aberdeen and smiled:

"There's nothing wrong with that, but I just don't like him. I think he's got a rebellious streak, even more ruthless than Sima Yi. If he were your brother, you'd better watch out!"

Taibao said dejectedly, "Brother, what do you care what kind of bones he has? It doesn't affect our ability to make money, right!"

He could earn 250,000 yen from a single deal, but now that two deals are cancelled, he'll lose 500,000 yen.

The others nodded in agreement; when you're out in the game, making money is the top priority, of course.

Hua Shier said irritably, "Then can I say I won't do business with him?"

Taibao was also afraid of angering Hua Shier: "Fine, if Brother Tie says we won't do it, then we won't do it!"

Hua Shier hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the photo of the murderer:
"Take this man's money first, then have him come over tonight to pick up his documents!"

Taibao was taken aback; "Brother Tie, what do you mean?"

Hua Shier shrugged. "I didn't say anything!"

Tai-bo left Hua-shi-er's place, first notifying the murderer to pick up his documents that night, and then finding Hong Konger, who was meeting people in Shinjuku to sell fake phone cards.

Upon seeing Tai-bo, Aberdeen immediately greeted him with delight:
"Brother Taibao, I've prepared all the money, I'll bring it to you in a bit!"

Tai-bo put his arm around Aberdeen's shoulder:

"Forget it, Brother Tie said he won't do business with you. Maybe next time. I'll talk to Brother Tie properly next time I have the chance!"

Aberdeen asked with a grim expression:

"Damn it, what's that mainland guy up to? He's helped so many people, why not me? Can't I spend my money?"

Taibao's face turned cold:
"Shut up! Don't you know we're all relying on Brother Tie for our livelihood now? What mainlanders? I'm telling you, don't cause trouble!"

Aberdeen shook off Tai-bo's hand:

"Damn, I've got him. Tell him for me not to regret this!"

After saying that, he stopped selling phone cards and turned to leave!

Tai-bo didn't expect Aberdeen to give him such a hard time:
"Damn, Brother Tie was right, he really is an ungrateful wretch!"

Evening, at a rented room in Hyakunincho.

The courtyard was full of people; they had all paid five million Japanese yen in advance and were here to collect their documents.

Hua Shier was drinking tea brewed for him by his younger sister in the room, while A-Jie was in charge of issuing certificates.

Each time a name was called, the corresponding person would enter the room from the courtyard, bow and greet them respectfully, and after receiving their identification, most of them would burst into tears of joy and express their gratitude.

Taibao, Laogui, Lao Dai, and several other brothers all wore smiles, genuinely happy, because these were their clients, and each of them earned a commission of 250,000 Japanese yen.

Those who had received their marriage certificates thanked the staff and left immediately, until only one person remained.

Taibao greeted him:
"Wang Lixin, you're the only one left to go in!"

The man called Wang Lixin was in his twenties and tall. He had been waiting impatiently for a long time and went in as soon as he heard the call.

Hua Twelve had already stood up, and Taibao said to Wang Lixin:
Call him Brother Tie!

Wang Lixin quickly smiled apologetically:
"Brother Tie, you are a very capable person. Thank you for helping me get my identity sorted out. If it weren't for you, we who came here through the connections would be living in fear every day, and we wouldn't dare to say a word even if we were bullied!"

Hua Shier smiled at him:

"Your real name is A-Gui, right? I've seen your wanted poster!"

Wang Lixin's smile froze, and his hand instinctively reached behind him, but he immediately remembered that he was no longer in China, so he stopped and said with an awkward laugh:
"Brother Tie, I've paid. Can't we just let heroes not ask about backgrounds?"

"Okay."

Hua Shier smiled brightly, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Lixin's hair, pressing it down hard. Then he raised his right knee and delivered a powerful knee strike to Wang's face with a loud thud.

Wang Lixin's nose was broken, and his face was covered in blood.

Hua Shier continued the conversation by picking up where the other person left off:

"We don't care about a hero's origins or a mango's age. If I take your money and don't give you the certificate, is that okay?"

As Hua Shier spoke, he casually reached down to the other person's lower back and pulled out a large black star.

Everyone else was startled. Hua Twelve called out:

"What are you standing there for? Check what else he has on him, then find something to tie him up!"

Taibao rushed forward to check and found a machete on the man's body. He immediately took the knife from him.

Old Ghost and his men found some rope, and together they tied the man up.

Wang Lixin had been seeing stars and was powerless to resist, but he had only recovered somewhat. Seeing that he was being controlled, he quickly gave in:

"Brother Tie, Brother Taibao, we have no grudges against each other, I haven't offended you."

Hua Shier lit a cigarette for himself:

"You're right, so I'll give you a way out. I saw on the wanted poster that you robbed the finance office in your hometown and made over a million RMB. Hand over the money and I'll let you go!"

Wang Lixin gritted his teeth: "You have no morals!"

Hua Shier grabbed his hand and snapped his right thumb off with a crack, causing Wang Lixin to scream in agony.

"I'll ask you one more time, are you going to pay or not?"

As Hua Shier spoke, he grabbed Wang Lixin's left thumb.

Wang Lixin remained silent, and Hua Shier gently snapped it open, and another one snapped open.

With both of his thumbs broken, Wang Lixin will probably be unable to lift anything heavy in the future; he'll be a cripple.

Hua Shier pried his index finger out, then asked with a smile:

"Where's the money?" Wang Lixin was sweating profusely from the pain. When Hua Shier tried to break his fingers again, he finally gave in and told Hua Shier where he lived and where the money was hidden.

Hua Shier sent Taibao to get the money. Taibao went for half an hour and came back with a travel bag full of money, mostly RMB and a small amount of Japanese Yen.

When Wang Lixin saw the money he had stolen falling into someone else's hands, his eyes darkened, and he said in an almost pleading tone:
"Brother Tie, now that I'm all here, can you let me go?"

Two hours later, Tokyo Bay.

Hua Shier held a handheld camera, recording video while directing Taibao and Lao Gui to do their work.

"Lock that dumbbell around his waist, and yes, break the key right in the lock!"

Taibao, Laogui, and the others all knew that Hua Shier was asking them to pledge their loyalty, so they had no choice but to do as he said.

After the dumbbells were strapped on, Hua Shier asked A Jie to peel the tape off Wang Lixin's mouth.

As soon as he was able to speak, Wang Lixin shouted, "Even thieves have their code of honor! I handed over all the money to you, and you're breaking your promise!"

Hua Twelve scoffed:
"If you had only robbed and not killed, I might have spared your life. But for this pittance, you killed two accountants, one of whom was pregnant. And you're telling me there's a code of honor among thieves?"

"However, I'm a man of my word. If I say I'll release you, I definitely will. But whether you live or die is up to you!"

After Hua Shier finished speaking, he waved his hand at Lao Gui and the others:

"Untie him and then throw him into the sea!"

Wang Lixin's hands and feet were untied, and he immediately struggled. However, he was bound by dumbbells, and Hua Shier's side had more people. Old Gui, Old Dai, and Taibao grabbed his hands and feet and threw him directly into Tokyo Bay.

Hua Shier stood on the shore and called out:
"Don't say I'm not keeping my word. I'll let you go back to your hometown right now. You should hurry up and swim; consider it exercise!"

Wang Lixin swam around aimlessly, digging and kicking as he sank, and then stopped moving after a while.

Taibao's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Chaohua Twelve said:
"Brother Tie, is this what you mean by a kind person who always abides by the law?"

Hua Shier waved the video camera in his hand: "So I let you do it. Congratulations on killing someone!"

Everyone: "."

This was a pledge of allegiance. Lao Gui and the others wanted to accumulate enough business to legally obtain citizenship. With Hua Shier's proof, they dared not have any ulterior motives and could only wholeheartedly follow him.

Even if these people turn against him, Hua Shier isn't afraid. He's just using this opportunity to kill these scumbags to give Lao Gui and Tai Bao a warning, so they won't act like they did in the original story, causing trouble behind Tie Tou's back and even daring to touch smuggled goods.

On the way back, Hua Shier's phone rang. When he answered, it was Fan Jinshuo on the other end. The girl immediately started cursing:
"You bastard, thank goodness I got your number, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find you. You've taken advantage of me and now you want to deny everything, haven't you? I paid for this, so get over here right now, I'm furious!"

Hua Twelve:
Why do these lines sound so familiar?

So, that evening, Hua Shier had another friendly match with 'Fan Jinshuo'. Regardless of how his opponent fared, he had vented all his anger.

The next day, Hua Shier took Lao Gui and the others to the embassy and donated all the money they had gotten from Wang Lixin, saying it was for building a primary school in their hometown.

Old Ghost and Taibao felt much better when they saw that Hua Twelve didn't want the money but instead used it for charity.

In the days that followed, Hua Shier's citizenship business grew bigger and bigger. Lao Gui and Lao Dai both accumulated a hundred transactions and obtained official citizenship.

Hua Shier also made a fortune. Now, with the money laundered by Tsuchiya Tada, he has bought a luxury apartment near Shinjuku, and today he bought a Mitsubishi GTO sports car, the same model as the one in "Thunderbolt".

After getting the new car, Hua Shier called 'Fan Jinshuo' that evening to invite him for a drive, but 'Fan Jinshuo' replied irritably on the phone:

"Last time you said you were going on a yacht, but you ended up spending the night at a yacht-themed love hotel. What are you up to this time? Please, brother, leave me alone, I'm on my period right now!"

Hua Shier looked completely innocent: "What does your period have to do with driving around?"

Fan Jinshuo wasn't fooled and hung up the phone immediately.

Hua Shier decided to drive around by himself, planning to do something like the "Third Ring Road Twelve" in Tokyo tonight, thus leaving behind an eternal legend as a racing god.

He had just driven his sports car out of the apartment parking lot when he heard a loud bang. A Mazda had crashed into his new car, denting the front of it.

Hua Shier got out of the car and stormed off to find the driver who caused the accident. The other driver was a woman, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses late at night. She also got out of her car and, swaying slightly, bowed to him.
"I'm so sorry for the trouble I've caused you. I will definitely compensate you for your losses in full!"

A strong smell of alcohol hit him, and Hua Shier frowned.

"You're driving under the influence, so..."

The woman immediately became nervous, her voice trembling with tears: "Please, please don't call the police!"

Hua Shier asked in confusion, "Did I mention calling the police?"

"You said I was driving under the influence, so..."

"So, you have to pay more! Why are you so unreasonable, woman!"

Hua Shier pointed to his sports car:

"I just got this car today, so you can get me a new one, okay? And then compensate me for my emotional distress. Hmm, just buy me another new car, and we'll call it even!"

They're all Japanese devils; we can't let them get away with this.

The woman bowed repeatedly and readily agreed, making Hua Shier feel embarrassed.

"Alright, since that's the case, you pay me back, and then we're even!"

Hua Shier took out his phone, about to call Tsuchiya Tata. It was better to let a lawyer handle this kind of thing, so as not to be falsely accused of extortion. Otherwise, things would get complicated, and there would be many such cases in later generations.

But before I could even make the call, another call came in.

Hua Shier pressed the answer button: "Speak!"

A trembling voice came from the other end: "Big...Big Brother, I...we..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud slap was heard, like the sound of someone being slapped in the face.

Then the phone was answered:

"So you're Iron Head? I'm Kao MRT from the Tainan gang. You broke the rules and stole my business, so I've detained your men. If you want them, come and talk to me in person."

After hearing the address given by the other party, Hua Shier smiled:

"Brother Jie, right? Okay, wait for me, I'll be right there!"

After he finished speaking, he got into the car and tried to start it, but the car wouldn't start no matter what he did.

The female driver was still standing there. Seeing this, she quickly stepped forward and said:

"Sir, where are you going? I can take you there!"

Hua Shier got out of the car and glared at her: "I almost forgot about you. The cars in your country are terrible. Just drive your car over there. Get in now!"

He said he sat directly in the driver's seat, not daring to let the woman drive. Drunk driving plus a female driver, that's a double whammy!
The woman got into the car, and Hua Shier stepped on the gas and sped off, heading straight for Kabukicho.

The headquarters of the Tainan gang is a nightclub in Kabukicho. When Hua Shier drove there, it was already packed with people. There were flower baskets at the entrance, and it seemed to be reopening after renovations. Today was the grand opening celebration.

Hua Shier parked his car on the side of the road, got out and walked inside. The female driver called out to him, but when he didn't respond, she thought for a moment, then got out of the car and jogged after him.

Thanks to 08a, Little Tiger of the Demon Realm, and Dreamy Demon Brothers for their donations, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly tickets and recommendations. Thank you very much.
