A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1314 Hua Twelve: I find you disgusting! (Please subscribe!)

P.S.: Requesting monthly votes, thank you.

"Good morning, team leader!"

Hua Shier, with his hands in his pockets, led Taibao and Lao Gui into the Sanhehui headquarters. Dozens of men in black suits on either side bowed at a ninety-degree angle to greet them respectfully.

Old Ghost and Taibao were as excited as if they were dreaming, and then they felt honored to be part of it.

What kind of life did they lead before they met Hua Shier? They had to be subservient to the Japanese. When they encountered the local gangs, they were like grandsons, not daring to provoke them in the slightest.

Let's see what it's like now?

So many official members of the Sanhehui bowed to them, making these little devils bow their heads—something they never dared to dream of before.

Hua Shier initially didn't want to bother with these little karami, especially since they were Japanese. He was already being lenient by not killing them all, considering they were now under his command. However, after thinking about it, he realized he would need them as cannon fodder to fight the combat teams. He hesitated for a moment, then stopped and said to those around him:

"The organization is in dire need of manpower right now, so work hard and I will reward you handsomely. Also, your salaries will be doubled from now on, so keep your spirits up and do your jobs well!"

"Hi, thank you, Vice President!"

Everyone showed great gratitude. Hua Shier nodded and led Lao Gui and Tai Bao upstairs.

Today is the day that Taro Watakawa is coming to negotiate, and Hua Shier has specially returned to headquarters to support Chairman Muranishi Koichi's visit.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Taro Watakawa, with a grim expression, led several combat team members into the headquarters conference room. He first bowed slightly to Koichi Muranishi, and then, without being invited, sat down on the sofa opposite Muranishi.

His gaze fell on Hua Shier, who was to the right of Hongyi in the west of the village, and he asked in a gloomy tone:
"Who are you? Why don't you bow to me? When did we Triad members become so ill-mannered and disrespectful?"

Muranishi Koichi remained silent with a cold expression. Hua Shier raised an eyebrow. This chairman was no pushover either. Normally, Muranishi should have introduced himself at this point and told Watagawa that he was also a group leader.

But now Muranishi is silent, clearly intending to sit back and watch the fight, or perhaps he wants to make him offend Watagawa and tie him more firmly to the headquarters.

Hua Shier smiled. To him, this was nothing. After all, whether it was Watari or Chairman Muranishi, they were already dead bones in his eyes.

"Team Leader Watari, let me introduce myself. My name is Hua Shier, and I've recently taken over the Eguchi Team. We're both team leaders in the organization, so why should I greet you? Because you have a lot of wrinkles? Because you don't shower?"

The reason he used the name Hua Shier was to intentionally remove Zhao Tie's identity from the gangster background.

Taro Watakawa was completely bewildered; he'd never encountered such lines before. Just as he was about to explode in anger, Hua Shier waved his hand magnanimously and said:
"Alright, I won't argue with you. Let's get down to business, lest word get out and people think that none of the higher-ups in our Sanhe Society are serious!"

Muranishi Koichi had a strange expression. Lao Gui and Tai Bao, standing behind Hua Shier's sofa, couldn't help but want to laugh, but they had to hold it in. The two covered their mouths, their stomachs heaving. If they kept doing this, they would probably develop abs soon.

Taro Watakawa was about to explode, but Hua Shier brushed it off with a casual remark, especially the line, "Don't let people think that the Sanwa-kai's top brass have nothing to do." If he were to hold a grudge over this, wouldn't he really be the one "having nothing to do"?

Suppressing his anger, Watakawa Taro said to Muranishi Koichi:

"Chairman, I hope the organization will give me an explanation regarding my son, Watari Kōhei!"

Before Muranishi Koichi could speak, Hua Twelve spoke up:
"What nonsense is this, Chief Watakawa? The police made it very clear at the press conference that your son stole a shipment of goods that the Eguchi group was responsible for, which led to a shootout between the two groups, resulting in the deaths of both your son and Eguchi. What explanation do you want from the chairman?"

Watari Kōhei and Eguchi Toshinari: Come on, explain the matter of the bugle call and the Yō-8-ryū!

Hua Twelve raised his voice, his tone stern and harsh.

"I think Team Leader Du Chuan should give the organization an explanation. Why did that batch of goods end up in your son's house? The organization has suffered heavy losses. Who will bear these losses? You still dare to ask the chairman for an explanation? What right do you, a team leader, have? You have no respect for your place!"

Muranishi Koichi felt very comfortable; he felt that his bold use of the power of Chinese gangs was indeed the right thing to do.

Watakawa Taro roared:
"You idiot, how dare you talk to me like that?"

Hua Shier pointed to his head:

"Are you out of your mind? I've already said everything, and you're still asking me if I dare? I think someone with your IQ shouldn't be a combat team leader. If you accidentally hurt your own people in a fight, it's really not worth it!"

Taro Watakawa said angrily, "Aren't you afraid of causing internal strife within the organization?"

Hua Shier was amused. What does the infighting among Japanese gangsters have to do with me, a Chinese? It would be better if you pig-headed people fought until your heads turned into dog-headed ones.

However, on the surface he remained calm and composed, saying:

"If you're not afraid of the Elders' wrath, or the Metropolitan Police Department causing trouble for our Triads, then bring it on!"

"The president has tolerated you time and time again for the sake of the organization's overall interests. Do you really think he's afraid of an old man like you who relies on his seniority?"

Taro Watakawa's forehead veins were bulging. He felt that in terms of verbal sparring, even ten of him wouldn't be a match for the brat opposite him. He wanted to start a fight directly, but then he remembered the elder's warning. He suppressed his anger and said to Koichi Muranishi:

"Your Excellency Chairman, please believe me, I have absolutely no intention of overstepping my bounds! I am simply a doting father, and I am heartbroken that Qiangping has suffered such a tragedy!"

Muranishi Hiroki was increasingly pleased to hear Hua Shier puff across the river. Seeing his old rival back down, he revealed a genuine smile:

"You flatter me, Du Chuan. We joined the organization at the same time back then, and I still trust your character. Team Leader Hua is young and impetuous, so as a senior, you should be more tolerant of him!"

Taro Watakawa nodded with a dark expression.

Muranishi Koichi added:

"Regarding your son Qiangping and Jiang Kou's matter, since both have perished, for the sake of the organization's stability, I hope you can consider the bigger picture and let it go. As for that batch of goods, you'll need to make up for it from the combat team's profits this year; otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to the organization!"

After he finished speaking, he gave Watakawa Taro a deep look: "Watakawa, do you have a problem with that?"

Watari's face was so black it could be used as ink. He suddenly stood up, and all the members of the combat team behind him stepped forward, ready for a fierce battle. The members of the organization at headquarters also looked solemn, as if they were ready to fight at any time.

Ding!
With a crisp sound, Hua Shier took out a cigar and lit it with an electronic lighter.

Clearly, Hua Shier, the newly appointed team leader, did not take the tense situation seriously at all. He even smiled provocatively at Du Chuan, as if to say, "Go ahead and do it if you dare!"

Seeing his confident demeanor, Watari's eyes narrowed, wondering if there was some kind of ambush. He hadn't brought many combat team members this time, and felt that he definitely wouldn't gain the upper hand if things really turned sour. He immediately took two deep breaths to calm his anger, then bowed slightly to Muranishi Koichi, his tone stiff and somewhat clenched through his teeth as he said:

"Then let's do as the chairman wishes. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"

After saying that, he turned around and stormed off. Judging from his expression, Watari was in a very bad mood!

As soon as Watari left, Muranishi Koichi couldn't help but burst into laughter. He had never felt so relaxed in front of Watari in so many years.

After laughing, Muranishi Kouichi praised Hua Shier: "Zhao, oh, I should call you Shier now. I didn't misjudge you. Ever since I met Watari, I've known how assertive he is. I've never seen him lose his composure like this before. You did a great job!"

Hua Shier smiled and said, "It's all thanks to your discerning eye and great support, Chairman. I am a grateful person and will definitely repay you wholeheartedly!"

He was talking nonsense, but in his heart he was thinking that he hadn't used the 'Feng Baobao-style shovel' in a long time, and wondered if he should take it out and use it, so that it wouldn't rust if left for too long.

The president was very satisfied with Hua Shier's attitude, gave him some encouragement, and then sent him off to do his work.

Hua Shier left the headquarters and spat:
"They won't even give you a million or two; all they're doing is empty words as an incentive!"

Taibao warned, "Brother, that old devil Watari looks like someone you don't want to mess with. You just offended him, so be careful. These days, you should take more brothers with you when you go out!"

Old Ghost nodded repeatedly, volunteering to be Hua Twelve's driver and bodyguard.

Hua Shier said irritably, "Why bring so many people? Are we gangsters? We're a legitimate business!"

Tai-bao and Lao-gui were speechless. This was the first time they had heard that the leader of the Sanhe Society was a legitimate person. Weren't you a member of a violent gang? You have a license!

Hua Shier knew the two meant well, so he patted them on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, the Metropolitan Police Department is keeping an eye on Watakawa right now, so he won't dare to make any big moves. You are now the backbone of the Sanwa-kai, so quickly win people over. Don't be afraid to spend money, and also recruit more members. Our primary task now is to strengthen our influence within the organization!"

Both of them nodded repeatedly, promising to complete the mission.

Hua Shier sent the two men back and drove his sports car toward the Jiangkou residence.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Jiangkou residence, there were only two members of the Jiangkou Group guarding the place. Upon seeing Hua Shier, the current group leader, they quickly bowed and let him pass.

Hua Shier parked the car in front of the two-story villa, got out, and looked up at Jiang Kou Licheng's mansion. He thought the mansion was quite nice. If he remembered correctly, when he looked at the organization's accounts before, this mansion seemed to be under the organization's name.

He thought to himself that it was not appropriate to take it back now. He didn't want the old members of the Sanhe Society to feel that he had forgotten them. He thought that when he gained control of the organization, he could take back the house and give it to Xiaoli or Xiaocai or something. Wouldn't that be better?
As for Xiuxiu? She doesn't even deserve it! Bah!
Hua Shier closed the car door and walked into the mansion. Hearing the commotion, Xiuxiu, dressed in white mourning clothes, rushed out to greet him. Upon seeing him, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and disregarding the presence of the nanny, she threw herself into his arms.
"Iron Head, why is my life so miserable!"

Hua Shier sneered inwardly. Now you know to call me Iron Head? Too late, little sister. I've been bored with you for a long time. No, I mean, what were you doing all this time? From the day you betrayed Iron Head, there's no going back.

He thought this in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. He gently patted Xiuxiu's back to comfort her, and then pushed her out of his arms. Damn it, this suit worth tens of thousands of US dollars was already tainted after only a few days of wear.

Xiuxiu was somewhat taken aback. This was the first time in her memory that Tietou had ever distanced himself from her like this; before, they would always just go to the grove.
She wiped away her tears and said, "Let's go inside and talk. I'll make you some tea!"

Hua nodded and walked into the living room. At this time, Jiang Kou and Xiu Xiu's daughter was still playing with building blocks on the living room floor, completely unaware of what had happened to her father.

Xiuxiu asked the nanny to take the child upstairs and personally made Hua Shier a cup of tea.

Hua Shier didn't touch the cup of tea, but instead said, "Let's get a seed."

Xiuxiu said directly, "Tietou, just call me Xiuxiu!"

Hua Shier didn't argue with her about how she addressed her.

"Alright, Yuuko, I came here just to see you." (That's right, I came here to see you make a fool of yourself!)

"What happened to Eguchi was very sudden, so don't be too sad. Don't worry, the chairman and the Watakawa family will eventually have a battle, and I will avenge Brother Eguchi then!"

Xiuxiu: Jiangkou is thirty-five. How old are you?

She showed a wronged and sorrowful expression:

"Tie Tou, I'm not actually that heartbroken. I married Jiang Kou out of necessity. Believe it or not, Tie Tou, I still love you."

As she spoke, she placed her hand directly on Hua Shier's hand, her eyes looking pitiful and charming, just like the first time she was on the tractor in the grove when her cotton-padded coat was taken off.

"Tie Tou, let's get back together. As long as you treat me and my daughter well, I promise to be a good wife and mother!"

Looking at the portrait of Jiang Gu in the distance, Hua Shier thought of the dozen or so art films with this plot that he had seen. Yes, quite artistic.

Hua Shier withdrew his hand and said calmly:
"Jiezi, some things are irreversible. I have my own women now, and I can't betray them to be with you. Besides..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "We've grown up together, so I won't hide anything from you. You've been touched by other men. We can be friends, but as my woman, I find you disgusting!"

The merciless words pierced Xiuxiu's heart like knives, leaving her face drained of color. At that moment, she seemed to hear soft, thumping sounds.

Hua Shier stood up: "If you continue to have such unrealistic fantasies, then I think we can't even be friends anymore. That's all I have to say, goodbye!"

He started to walk outside, and behind him came Xiuxiu's sorrowful cries:

"Tie Tou, you've changed. You used to love me so much."

Hua Shier turned around and asked calmly, "I asked you to call your mother, did you do it?"

Xiuxiu swayed slightly, pursing her lips without uttering a sound.

The meaning is self-evident from that expression; there's no need to ask.

Hua Shier scoffed, "Look in the mirror! It's not me who's changed, it's you who's changed. You've become so different that even Tie Tou wouldn't recognize you!"

After saying that, he strode out the door, and spat out a curse as he reached the outside: "Pah, what a piece of trash!"

The sports car roared out of the yard, and Xiuxiu cried silently in the living room. Without Jiang Kou and Tie Tou, what would she do?
Suddenly she clenched her fists:
"I still have this house, and Jiang Kou left me an inheritance. I will definitely live a better life than you all."

In the sports car, Hua Shier held the steering wheel with one hand and his phone with the other, calling Tsuchiya Tata:

"Help me apply for an injunction from the court to freeze the accounts under Jiang Kou's name; those are all the organization's assets!"

After hanging up the phone, Hua Shier drove straight to Fuji Television. Nakamori Akina was doing a program there today, and he had promised to pick her up after get off work.

When they arrived at the TV station, after waiting for a short while, Akina, as happy as a deer, skipped and hopped over. After getting into the car, she wasn't afraid of paparazzi taking pictures and immediately kissed him.

Hua Shier asked with a smile, "You seem so happy today, is there something good happening?"

"I'm so happy that you came to pick me up!"

Akina Nakamori said with great satisfaction.

Hua Shier smiled and shook his head, about to start the car, when suddenly a man lunged forward and blocked the front of the car, his hands on the hood, angrily roaring at Akina in the passenger seat: "Akina, who is he?"
