The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 564: Battle for Ajian (5)

Regarding Nanajo Masato's situation, in addition to the previous reasons, Qian Xiaoyi actually had another reason for not helping him, and that was that he was busy dealing with another matter, which seemed to be much more serious than Nanajo Masato's family problems.

The cause of this incident was a dream Zhang Chunfa had, a strange dream.

——【Hundred Ghosts】finally contacted him through a dream.

On this day, Zhang Chunfa dealt with all the big and small affairs in the gang, returned home tired, and prepared to have a good sleep.

Things have been happening one after another in the underworld during this period. After hearing about the deaths of Qinggui and Chigui, all the surrounding underworld groups have become restless. There have been constant frictions of all sizes, making Zhang Chunfa exhausted. It was only recently that he gradually stabilized the gang's sphere of influence. Although he has given up a lot of territory, at least it has been stabilized. Today he can finally have a good rest.

After the gambling game, he gave his original glass eye to Qian Xiaoyi, and could no longer escape the nightmares that had been haunting him by staying in the Kowloon Walled City in his dreams every night.

Fortunately, Qian Xiaoyi told Zhang Chunfa his speculation, letting him know that he might have been betrayed by Taoist Jingde and accidentally killed his elder brother. This made him no longer so confused and lit a bright light on his road to atonement.

Lying on the bed, Zhang Chunfa slowly closed his eyes, ready to face all the sins he had ever committed.

Light gradually appeared in the darkness. Zhang Chunfa walked among the ruins of the casino. After the death of Green Ghost and Red Ghost, he finally gained control of the place. However, there was nothing he could control here anymore. Everything was in tatters.

Behind the ruins, a towering statue holding a big knife stood in the mist, revealing only a pair of sharp phoenix eyes, staring at Zhang Chunfa without saying a word, as if judging him with silence.

The casino seemed to be still filled with the pleading cries of the victims, reminding Zhang Chunfa of what he had done.

Zhang Chunfa sat on a chair among the ruins, waiting for the person to arrive.

Ever since he gave his eyeball to Qian Xiaoyi, he would dream every day that the boss he killed, Brother Long, came to him and kept accusing him of what he had done. It was the same today.

Zhang Chunfa heard the footsteps and said without turning his head, "Are you here? Sit down."

"Oh? You knew I was coming? It seems I underestimated you... Well~ That's right, after all, you are the real owner of this nest, not that loser Qinggui."

A strange voice sounded behind Zhang Chunfa, causing him to pause in fiddling with his fingers, but he did not show any surprised reaction and just waited quietly.

"Is he finally here?" Zhang Chunfa thought to himself, "The mastermind behind the scenes that Brother Qian mentioned - [Hundred Ghosts]." A man in a suit walked past Zhang Chunfa and sat down on the chair opposite him.

Zhang Chunfa raised his head and looked at the man in front of him through his sunglasses.

The man was not as ferocious as Zhang Chunfa had imagined. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man... no, it should be said that he was a middle-aged man who looked a little funny.

On this man's smiling face, his thick eyebrows were connected, and he had a straight brow. He had a side-parted hairstyle and was slightly bald. And the strange thing was that apart from these symbols, Zhang Chunfa couldn't remember what he looked like. As long as he looked away, he would lose his memory of the other person's appearance.

"Are you the contact person for [Hundred Ghosts]?" Zhang Chunfa asked, "I was wondering when you would contact me."

The funny-looking middle-aged man said, "When we contact you is not up to me, but up to you. Whether the nest here can be preserved depends on whether you can hold on to the gang in this turmoil. Now it seems that you do have great potential and it is worth us contacting you."

Zhang Chunfa took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it, then asked, "So, I am now worthy of your attention and can replace Chuando Xinxiong? I am really flattered... Then, what should I call you?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I forgot to introduce myself." The man put his hand on his chest and greeted with a smile, "My name is Meng Nan, or you can call me by my code name in the organization: [Tian Xiegui]. This is our first meeting. As you expected, the liaison work between all members of the organization is basically left to me. For safety reasons, most members will not know the identities of other members. Please understand this."

Zhang Chunfa asked sarcastically, "So I have to do things for you without knowing anything? I have to do whatever you say?"

"In theory, it is true." Tian Xiegui said, "In the organization, each member has a clear division of labor. You only need to do a good job of collecting souls, and don't worry about anything else. Even if you encounter trouble, there will be someone to help you solve it. Your predecessor, Dento Nobuo, is the same. You just need to take over his job."

Zhang Chunfa pretended to be arrogant and said, "Senior? He is not my senior! You have to understand that this nest is mine! I am the main person here, not him! All the work is done by me. You have used me for twenty years, and now you are still pretending to be arrogant and ordering me around? I need benefits, real benefits to make up for the past twenty years!"

"You are really straightforward... but very reasonable. So what do you want?" Tian Xiegui laughed: "We can satisfy most of your wishes. Money? Fame? We can do it. Just state your request and I will help you pass it on to the higher-ups. As long as it is within a reasonable range, the organization will find a way. After all, we are the [Hundred Demons]. If we want something, we will get it."

Zhang Chunfa said carelessly, "Of course, we don't need to talk about money. The Chuan Dao Society really needs money to maintain relationships. And as you can see, this nest has become dilapidated due to the attacks of those exorcists. I need you to send someone to repair it, otherwise I can't do it by myself. I should say that I don't know how to do it at all. Speaking of which, who built this place in the first place? Can you send that person over directly?"

Tian Xiegui sneered: "Gui Yikou, you are really arrogant, but I can't blame you. After all, you are just a social scum who survives by violence and intimidation. What can you understand?"

"What did you say, bastard!" Zhang Chunfa stood up and stared at the funny-looking middle-aged man in front of him. Half of his body had turned into a monster, ready to attack, as if he was ready to attack the Tianxie ghost at any time.
