Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Nao Hayasaka, who was driving quietly beside him, said calmly, "Although it's not illegal, Gu Yun, you still need to take safety precautions."

Both of them are underage junior high school students; at most, they are just in a relationship due to their immaturity.

At worst, we can get engaged; it's not a big deal.

"Forehead…"

Now it was Hiratsuka Shizuka's turn to feel embarrassed: "I, I was just joking, please, Nao-nee."

Nao Hayasaka wasn't joking; she was serious.

For a large family like the Iijima clan, the issue of offspring is of paramount importance, and the Hiratsuka family is a suitable match, with Hiratsuka Shizuka knowing the family background very well.

If Gu Yun insists on having a wife in the public eye, Jing Ke'ai is indeed a good choice.

At least Iijima Tamaki felt comfortable entrusting her son to her care.

Yang is natural, that's fine too.

The problem is that there is a significant age difference between Yang Nai and Gu Yun, and the fact that Iijima Tamaki is the adopted daughter of Yukinoshita and Iijima is enough to form an alliance between the two families.

'Ideally, I'd have a child to inherit the Yukinoshita family.'

This was Hayasaka Nao's idea, but it was far too early for Haruno, who was still a child.

'A formidable enemy has appeared!!'

Yukino never expected that her casual remark would reveal such a huge bombshell.

She looked at her bewildered sister, then at the silent Jing Ke, and finally at Hayasaka Nao who was driving.

"Devil!"

Yukino always thought that the strongest member of the Iijima family was Tanigumo, or at the very least, Tamaki Iijima.

But who would have thought that Nao Hayasaka was the real demon king?

"Xiaojing, stop making a fuss."

Gu Yun said, "I'm going to Tokyo to meet with some like-minded people in person and talk about some things."

"people of the same taste?"

"Folklore Studies".

Gu Yun pushed up his glasses and said, "Japanese traditional culture is just a hobby of mine."

It must be said that with glasses on, Gu Yun really does look like a literary youth.

"Folklore..."

Yukino tilted her head and asked, "Like a yokai?"

"Does Onii-chan still like this?"

Yang Nai's eyes widened. It was the first time she had ever heard that Gu Yun had this hobby. She had always thought that only someone like Kinomoto Touya would study this.

"Well, I'm just playing around."

Gu Yun said it wasn't a big deal, so the two sisters didn't need to blame themselves.

Chapter 194 Naki and the General

"President Hayasaka."

As Hayasaka Nao stopped the car, a handsome man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, hurriedly stepped forward and opened the car door for her: "You came here in person, why didn't you tell me?"

The man's name is Kaede Kobe, and he is the eldest son of the Kobe family in Kyoto.

The Kobe family is a prominent family in Kyoto, and its strength is no less than that of the Chitanda family, which is allied with the Iijima family.

The Iijima Alliance has grown stronger and is no longer limited to Tokyo and the Kanto region.

The Iijima family had influence and connections in Shikoku, Kyushu, and Kansai. For example, the Kobe family was a prominent family in Kyoto with which the Iijima family had close ties.

"Mr. Kobe, you're too kind."

"I'm just here to take care of some small matters, how could I possibly trouble Mr. Kobe?"

Nao Hayasaka is Tamaki Iijima's spokesperson. She is deeply trusted by the mother and son, or rather, the two of them simply hand over all the work to this extremely capable young woman.

In the Iijima Group's business, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Nao Hayasaka wielded absolute power.

Many people believe that Hayasaka Nao was the child bride that Iijima Tamaki prepared for Tanigumo.

She may not become Gu Yun's legal wife in the future, but her importance will definitely not be less than that of Gu Yun's legal wife, and may even be greater.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of a large family like the Iijima family, the legal wife is merely a tool for political marriage.

Elders like Tamaki Iijima would never trust an outsider who marries into the family, let alone allow her to take power.

The Iijima family's confidante was Hayasaka Nao, who was also her most trusted 'daughter'.

If things were even darker, there's a greater chance that the future heir of the Iijima family would be Nao Hayasaka's child.

Therefore, for such a future mistress of the Iijima family, Kaede Kobe had no better choice than to be her dog.

Now everyone can see that the rise of the Iijima family is unstoppable.

Anyone who dares to oppose them will see their decades-long, even centuries-old, family fortune vanish in an instant.

This has happened more than once.

The Iijima family, as if divinely aided, were invincible.

"Since you've come all this way, how can I, as the host, not extend my hospitality?"

Kobe Kaede dared not be negligent in the slightest. He did not understand Hayasaka Nao's thoughts. The Iijima family clearly had a lot of real estate and properties in Kyoto, yet they specifically chose this hotel.

Instead of staying in a luxury villa, Kobe Maple Leaf finds it somewhat puzzling.

But, in any case, Nao Hayasaka is too important.

The Kobe family's strength would be enough to rank them among the top three in Kyoto, but in the context of Japan as a whole, or even the world, their influence is not as great as that of the Chitanda family, which had allied with the Iijima family early on.

Chinese, prominent families, conglomerates, wealthy families, chaebols.

The Kobe family is at best a conglomerate, and it's incomparable to a behemoth like the Iijima family.

Especially since it was Hayasaka Nao who came here, she couldn't be neglected.

Who knows if a girl's casual action might foreshadow a massive earthquake that could sweep through Kyoto, or even Japan.

Without a doubt, the Iijima family truly possesses such power under the protection of numerous deities.

"Just for a trivial matter."

"besides…"

Nao Hayasaka looked to the side and saw Gu Yun get out of the passenger seat: "My younger brother wants to come to Kyoto for a visit."

"younger brother?"

Kobe Kaede was taken aback at first, but after Gu Yun got out of the car, he still stared at him for a long time before realizing who the other person was.

"You, you are not perhaps the eldest son of the Iijima family?!"

Gu Yun has always kept a low profile. He rarely attends gatherings of Chinese celebrities and does not associate with the children of the wealthy and powerful.

Therefore, Gu Yunzhen is almost a legend in the entertainment industry.

The name was as famous as thunder, yet one could only hear its voice and never see the person.

"My name is Iijima Tanigumo, hello Mr. Kobe."

Gu Yun shook hands with the other party, and Kobe Kaede quickly praised, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Kobe Kaede. Young Master Iijima is indeed as rumored, a refined and handsome young man."

Kobe Kaede wasn't exaggerating when she said that.

Gu Yun's spiritual character itself represents personal charm, which is something that far exceeds 'appearance', 'looks', and even 'temperament'.

Humans are social animals by nature, and they are instinctively intimidated and conquered by the strong.

This is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture.

Following the strong is an instinct for the Japanese, and even someone as high-ranking as Kobe Kaede is no exception.

Even though it was the first time Kobe Kaede had met Gu Yun, he still sensed the aura of a supreme expert.

"Ah, sorry."

"I have long admired Master Iijima, and I was rude in losing my composure."

As Kobe Kaede spoke, he led everyone into the hotel.

"Chairman Kobe."

"Hello, Chairman Kobe."

"..."

Along the way, everyone who saw Kobe Kaede bowed respectfully.

The hotel is indeed owned by the Iijima family, but it is actually managed by the Kobe family.

In Japanese companies, the chairman is the highest-ranking official, equivalent to the president of the board.

Kobe addresses Hayasaka Nao as "Chairman," which is perfectly acceptable, as Hayasaka Nao is a shareholder in many companies.

These shares came from Tamaki Iijima, but they were not managed; they were given away.

Yes, it's a gift.

Tamaki Iijima treated Naoka Hayasaka like her own daughter, and like Gu Yun, she never mistreated her own family.

As the Iijima family's businesses flourished around the world, Tamaki Iijima transferred a portion of her businesses in Japan to Nao Hayasaka.

This is absolute trust, and it is also the guarantee that Tamaki Iijima gives to Nao Hayasaka.

Even if Gu Yun fails to give her a formal title in the future, these assets will be enough for Hayasaka Nao to become the core of the Iijima family.

Of course, only those within the family know the details of this matter.

Nao Hayasaka is exceptionally talented. She has no interest in money, status, or power. If she really needed it, she could acquire wealth in no time, enough to last ten lifetimes.

Not to mention, the essence of the Iijima family is not in the secular world at all.
