Xia Mu nodded gently.
"So I'll tell you?"
"Ah."
After a while, Jormungandr seemed to have made up his mind.
"I hope you marry Uesugi Erii as soon as possible!" she exclaimed.
Xia Mu: "..."
The script never goes according to his plan.
“I’d like to know why you want this,” he asked.
Jormungandr said proudly, "You said you'd help me, so go ahead and do it!"
Xia Mu stroked her chin and made a reasonable guess: "Could it be because you've fallen in love with me, so you want me to be happy?"
Jormungandr: "..."
"Xia Mi is such an idiot, she's sold herself out too thoroughly. I'm having a headache right now, so don't talk to me."
"This is the first time I've seen someone so honestly criticizing themselves."
"..."
In the following months, Natsuki began to fully implement his plan. The new yakuza organization "Yamaguchi-gumi" swept through various gangs, starting wars at the slightest disagreement, and ignoring even the opinions of its own clan.
"In the past few months, Xia Mu's organization has seized nearly half of the underground gangs' territory, hasn't it? Not just conquered, but completely swallowed up..."
In the tea room of Genji Heavy Industries, Tachibana Masamune looked out the window with worry, not touching the teacup on the table.
Yuan Zhisheng knelt opposite him, his expression calm: "I've been keeping an eye on them, and they haven't caused much trouble. For now, things are still under the control of the family."
"He didn't touch the interests of the main family, and his Yamaguchi-gumi also followed the instructions of the main family. It's just that he went a bit too far in absorbing other gangs."
He was a little puzzled. "To be honest, I don't understand what he's doing. Is he really just finding a job for those people with unstable bloodlines?"
Masamune Tachibana's expression was very serious: "At first, I didn't understand what he was trying to do either, until he swallowed up half of Tokyo's underworld..."
He looked at Yuan Zhisheng, "Zhisheng, think about it, what would happen if he unified the entire underground forces?"

"He unified the entire underground forces?"
Genjiro was puzzled. "That's not bad either. He's very organized and his management is much stricter than the old gangs. Under his management, these yakuza members are much more restrained. If he can unify the entire underground, the security situation in Tokyo will be at least twice as good."
Tachibana Masamune gave a wry smile: "Then what's the point of having the main family? There's only one power underground, why should we take orders from the main family?"
Yuan Zhisheng suddenly stood up: "Dad, you mean..."
Tachibana Masamune nodded and sighed.
"He's tearing us down from the roots..."
Chapter 271 The Arrival of the Ace Combination
"Is Erii still going out every day, secretly following him?" Tachibana Masamune asked.
Yuan Zhisheng rubbed his temples: "Hmm."
"Sigh..." Tachibana Masamune sighed, "This is a huge problem..."
Yuan Zhisheng hesitated for a moment: "Dad, actually Xia Mu is not a bad person. Erii's time is running out. Why can't we let them be together? That way, even if the underground forces are unified, it will still be a family business."
"This is not a question of whether or not to grant a wish, but rather a question of who has the right to speak."
Tachibana Masamune said solemnly, "What we are about to do is too dangerous. It is the biggest secret of the Snake-Headed Eight Families in all these years. No one can afford the price of leaking it. Therefore, I cannot trust someone who is not under my control to join us."
"Maybe…"
Genji thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "We can try to find out what he thinks."
"A test?" Tachibana Masamune's eyes lit up. "You mean the burial ground for the gods?"
Genjiro nodded: "The destruction of the Divine Burial requires Erii's power. We can invite Natsuki to join us and see if he is willing to contribute to the family."
"What if he disagrees with us and deliberately sabotages the plan..."
“He won’t,” Genji shook his head. “Besides, this operation is part of our dive mission in cooperation with Kassel College. On the surface, it’s just asking him for help with defense.”
Tachibana Masamune pondered for a moment, then put down his teacup: "Go ahead and do it. Find an opportunity to talk to him before the mission begins."
"Ah."
Yuan Zhisheng nodded and stood up.
“Take some time today to pick up the Kassel College commissioner,” Tachibana Masamune said, remembering something. “Since Angers has sent his ace team, we should send our best young people to pick them up.”
"Most outstanding..."
Yuan Zhisheng thought of Xia Mu, shook his head, and walked out of the tea room.
Tachibana Masamune's hand unconsciously groped for the rim of the teacup.
"If he agrees... perhaps we can let him face the corpse guard alone..."
"It would be best if we both perished..."
Meanwhile, Xia Mu, whom he had been talking about, was in the underground clubhouse, sitting with his legs crossed, listening to Sakurai Akira's report.
Sakurai Kogure couldn't stay by his side forever; she was the nominal leader of the Oni Clan and had a lot of things to deal with.
"Currently, we have absorbed half of the underground forces in Tokyo. The rest are all tough gangs that are difficult to deal with, and recently they have shown signs of uniting together. Our people have been besieged in our recent raids."
Several months have passed, and Sakurai Akira has changed a lot. The most striking change is in his eyes, which no longer look timid and hide a violent nature. They now appear bright and confident.
Xia Mu made him the leader of the underworld organization. As it gradually expanded, he commanded tens of thousands of people. Over time, he became accustomed to his high position, and his demeanor naturally changed.
Of course, the most important thing is that he was hardworking enough, or rather, those two hundred-plus caged birds were desperate enough after being released, wishing they could burn themselves out to repay Xia Mu.
"You're all mixed-race, aren't you afraid of being ganged up on?" Xia Mu casually popped a grape into his mouth.
It has to be said that this country has a firm grasp on the quality of its fruit; it's expensive, but very delicious.
Sakurai Akira said somewhat dejectedly, "They reported it to the main family, and the main family said that mixed-race people are not allowed to participate in the struggle between underground forces."
"Oh?"
Xia Mu lowered her legs and sat up straight. "It seems my intentions have been discovered. This is aimed at us..."
"Boss, what do we do now?"
Sakurai Akira lowered his head with some shame, "Although we have a lot of people, we are all from small gangs that have been merged together. Not only are the members of varying quality, but we are also not united enough. Without a mixed-blood leader, they simply cannot fight on their own."
"Hmm," Xia Mu pondered, stroking his chin, "the underground forces still use axes and other weapons for street fighting, not guns, right?"

"This is a kind of tacit understanding in the underworld. It's about fighting spirit, not about killing everyone. Bloody hand-to-hand combat is a huge test of courage and discipline. The side that can charge forward without blinking when faced with a scene of severed limbs and rivers of blood is usually the winner," said Akira Sakurai.
"I see..."
Xia Mu smiled faintly, "Since our people are a rabble, let them fight with the wind at their backs. Go and have everyone bring their weapons to me."
Sakurai Akira was puzzled, not knowing what he wanted the weapon for, but he nodded and left anyway.
"She's secretly watching you again."
After Sakurai Akira left, Jormungandr's voice rang out.
Xia Mu smiled without turning around: "I know."
These days, Erii comes almost every day, but she doesn't show herself; she just secretly follows him around.
Those beautiful eyes seemed never to leave his sight.
“I am worried about you all,” Jormungandr said again.
"What's the rush?" Xia Mu rested his chin on his hand. "We all have a knot in our hearts, and we have to wait until she comes and untie it for us."
"I've already told you on behalf of Xia Mi that she doesn't care!" Jormungandr said through gritted teeth.
Xia Mu remained calm: "I want her to come and tell me herself."
Jormungandr ignored him.
Xia Mu took out his phone and found three unread messages from Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, and Caesar.
"Xia Mu, I heard from the principal that you're doing very well in Tokyo. I'd like to be your backer!" This was from Lu Mingfei.
"Xia Mu, is there a chance for another match after this mission?" Caesar asked.
"Xia Mu, I'm here." - Chu Zihang.
Xia Mu pinched the bridge of his nose.
Three lunatics arrived, and Tokyo started to get lively...
That night.
"Where's Xia Mu? Where's Xia Mu? Where's Xia Mu?"
When Lu Mingfei saw Yuan Zhisheng waiting for him at the airport, he looked around and asked three questions in a row, "Damn! Did he only send one of his underlings to pick us up?"
Upon hearing this name that gave him a headache, Genjiro's forehead creased with a frown: "I am Genjiro, the head of the branch's executive bureau..."
"Xia Mu didn't come?"
The blond boy, with a cigar in his mouth, interrupted him.
"I'm the one who's in charge of receiving you..."
Where is Xia Mu?
Chu Zihang appeared, sporting his ever-burning golden child aura.
Genjiro took a deep breath: "Can't you three understand human language?!"
Caesar and his two companions fell silent, then began whispering among themselves:
"I've heard that Japanese people are the most polite, but this doesn't seem like it at all?"
"Could it be a fake? We're just asking about Xia Mu, why are we getting so worked up?"
