I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 216 A Hero in Turbulent Times (Tokyo Edition)

"The gangs from out of town are so rude!"

"He even dared to attack Makoto Kusakabe before I did!"

"Kido Natsufusa, the leader of the Tokyo-based yakuza organization, the Mud Sankai, spoke with a fierce look in his eyes. Beside him were various members of the Mud Sankai, including a female member named Busujima Kiriko."

This cadre is not well-known, but he made a significant appearance in the main storyline of the Conan universe.

Under the guise of Vermouth, he intervened in the assassination attempt on Self-Defense Force officer Tsuchimon Yasutaka, which led to the Muddy Association being severely vilified and nearly collapsing under such circumstances.

However, this is a matter for the future, not for the present.

The president of the Mud Ginseng Association is Ghost Child Nabufumi.

During that upheaval in the underworld, he was forced to give up his gambling addiction, but this only made him more bloodthirsty. Even members of the Ghost Child family dared not provoke him. However, there were still those who did not believe in evil and tried to investigate him further.

That person is dead.

The demon boy Nakafusa only spent a little money to bribe a desperate criminal to cause a traffic accident that killed a police officer named Date Wataru on the spot. From then on, the power of the Muddy Ginseng Association grew stronger and stronger.

The power of the Ghost Child Anomaly House only declined after the dark web and underground markets were severely cracked down on.

Now, with the intervention of the Shadow Cabinet, the Ghost Child Nafu has once again led the Mud Ginseng Association to rise again with strong support. However, he is still quite unhappy with the Shadow Cabinet.

—Originally, the Tokyo underworld was his territory.

However, the Shadow Cabinet supported a group of Steel Society members who had been driven out of Tokyo and were based in other parts of the country to move back to Tokyo. Even that comical clown dared to confront him directly.

All of this made him very angry.

If it weren't for the ghost child Nakama still retaining his sanity.

He's probably already ordered his men to find the Iron Society members and have them fight it out, dragging that idiot with the black skull mask out of his hiding place and killing him!

"Kusakabe Makoto will be a tough opponent to kill next."

"I originally wanted to use his blood as a signal for the resurgence of the Mud Ginseng Society, but unfortunately, the opportunity is gone. However, it doesn't matter. All we need to do now is start expanding again."

The demon child, Nashima, rested his chin on one hand, his eyes revealing a hint of madness and greed.

He knows best how to acquire ill-gotten gains.

There's no business in Tokyo that he won't do: real estate, gun smuggling, explosives... oh, explosives, he even sold a batch of explosives to a fool who only knows how to appreciate wine.

Even if the Fourth Investigation Division finds that batch of explosives, they will eventually only trace it back to the Steel Society.

Although the shadow cabinet does not allow him to directly take action against the Steel Society, if he shifts the blame to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Japanese Public Security Bureau to deal with the Steel Society, he believes that after the Steel Society is destroyed...

The Shadow Cabinet should have no reason to refuse him access to the Steel Society's legacy, right?

—The only thing we need to consider is that ridiculous clown.

While he was away, they quietly developed their influence in Tokyo and had already gained considerable power. They even received funding from the Shadow Cabinet to counterbalance his influence.

"I need to think carefully about how to get rid of that guy..."

The ghost child, Natsufusa, gently touched his forehead with his finger.

Perhaps it's time to hire some mercenaries or assassins.

Beika Town has never lacked all sorts of outlaws.

------

"How's the contact with Zorro going?"

"So what if he's a modern-day Moriarty?"

Within Tokyo, there are third-party forces besides the outside Steel Association and the seasoned Mud Ginseng Association.

Dongchen Club.

The president of the Dongchen Society was dressed in a tuxedo that was completely out of place in the underworld.

They feign elegance, mimicking the manners of high society. However, it is common knowledge that there is no place for the underworld in high society.

Therefore, even though his power is now almost on par with the Mud Ginseng Association, the association's leader, Gui Tong Nafusa, still regards him as a ridiculous clown.

He doesn't care.

—Whether it's the Steel Association or the Mud Association.

Sooner or later, they will all be swept into the dustbin of history.

Firearms, addictive drugs, and explosives are no longer the most suitable items for trade.

The real underworld needs to develop in the economic sphere.

Casinos, banks, and all sorts of physical businesses.

Let those shady money be transformed into money that can be spent.

The president of the Dongchen Society used this money to win over one politician and celebrity after another, and to recruit one powerful criminal after another, which is how he has managed to survive in the cracks of the Mud Ginseng Society until now.

He even managed to secure the support of the shadow cabinet through connections.

"Whether it's Zorro's team or the modern Moriarty, we must win them over as soon as possible. It's just a pity that the genius Shadow Designer Ye Caisan has already disappeared."

Guhe Teng said with some regret,

He also considered the Five Senses Bandit Gang to be a good target for recruitment.

Unfortunately, they encountered the super-powered assassin Bat who defected from the Zoo organization, and the entire group was captured. Otherwise, even if these people had robbed his casino, he could have made an exception and allowed them to join the Dongchen Society.

"The next step is simply to continue cultivating relationships with celebrities from all walks of life."

"With the dark web and the black market under my control, the entire city of Tokyo will be completely under my control. As for that bat... someone will take care of him when the time comes."

------

Steel Association.

The man wearing the black skull mask has returned to Tokyo.

His gaze held a hint of hostility.

Their goals are different from others.

The Steel Society, which dared to attack Makoto Kusakabe right off the bat, showed no signs of having established a firm foothold in Tokyo.

His goal was not to gain a foothold in Tokyo.

To him, the Steel Society was nothing more than a pawn that could be rebuilt at will.

His real target was the Suzuki Group, which held a dominant position in the Kanto region.

His family business had been completely eliminated by the Suzuki Group in business competition, a fact he could not tolerate. Therefore, he was unable to compete with them in the legitimate world.

He chose to start from the underworld.

This choice was undoubtedly the right one.

He received a lot of help.

Shadow cabinet, the Axe River conglomerate, Southeast Asian arms dealers...

All he had to do was seize the opportunity and disrupt the Kanto region by any means necessary.

As long as steel doesn't care about any profits.

Then no force can withstand the power of the Steel Society.

Because his supporters will naturally take care of all his remaining worries.

—Even the "bat" who rescued Makoto Kusakabe!
