Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

This means that Cui Ming and his group's efficiency will reach an extremely terrifying level.

After gaining control of the Iwasaki Residence Garden, Cui Ming immediately began to renovate the entire estate.

Five geothermal energy supply piles are driven deep into the ground.

The entire Iwasaki Residence Garden will be brought under the control of the earth's energy.

After all this was done, it was already getting light.

Just in case, let Iwasaki and Yoshimura activate some unknown backup plan.

Cui Ming decided to give them a surprise when he met with them again tomorrow.

As for the remaining time, it will naturally be used to further strengthen control over the entire manor.

Cui Ming released a large number of puppets through the Devouring Sac and began to transform the entire manor.

The first area to be completely transformed was the Western-style mansion where Cui Ming and others currently reside.

As for the Western-style mansion as it is now, it's hard to say how it will handle a large number of supernatural beings.

But on Mitsubishi's side, it seems no one can break through.

Moreover, once today is over, it's hard to say whether Mitsubishi will belong to Iwasaki or Choi.

......

Taro Iwasaki is the current head of the Mitsubishi Group.

The Mitsubishi Group was founded by the Iwasaki family and has been painstakingly managed to this day.

For this reason, Taro Iwasaki went to England to study in order to learn advanced knowledge and serve his country.

After becoming the head of the family, he decreed that the family should begin to focus on the development of the military industry.

Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Bank will fully support the military industry, helping the empire further expand its territory.

Therefore, Mitsubishi also funded many people to maintain the empire, a massive money-devouring behemoth, by plundering resources from other countries.

Ultimately, it was all for profit; the various minerals and resources plundered were eventually turned into airplanes, cannons, and warships.

But it also became a source of wealth, allowing Mitsubishi to grow even stronger.

After making this momentous decision, Taro Iwasaki dreamt of his ancestors more than once, who were yelling at him.

What kind of behavior is this, bowing and shouting like that!

As long as it makes the Iwasaki family even greater and allows it to continue more smoothly.

He would be willing to live a life of luxury, in a grand estate, and eat the finest delicacies.

only…

Last night's dream seemed to have made these ancestors even more restless.

They screamed their hearts out, gesticulated wildly, and even knelt down before themselves…

Hiss! Could it be...?

They've outmaneuvered the Osaka Division in this move!

We made the right choice!

These ancestors were so excited!

Hahaha!

It's no wonder my Iwasaki family has been passed down for generations!

Although he originally planned to detain these people from the Osaka Foundation directly.

Accuse them of treason by buying and selling national resources and supporting enemy countries!

This would directly strike at the Osaka conglomerate and hinder their expansion!

Lately, the Osaka conglomerate has been extending its reach further and further, completely disregarding these old-established aristocrats!

Therefore, we must sever their tentacles as much as possible and inflict pain upon them! Let them know what fear is!

only…

For some reason, the moment he saw Yamashita Akira, he felt from the bottom of his heart that this boy was destined for great things.

If we can build a good relationship with him, we can lend him a hand!

Who knows, in the future, I might even experience the feeling of "everyone getting promoted" through this connection!

Taro Iwasaki had great faith in his intuition, and it was this intuition that led him to decide to embark on the path of the military industry.

That's how the Iwasaki family, under the guise of Mitsubishi, rose to become one of Tokyo's top zaibatsu (financial conglomerates).

So, he took the gamble this time!

Chapter 258 A Three-Pronged Approach

The first thing Taro Iwasaki did after getting up and washing up was to hold a morning meeting with each branch.

This is a habit he has developed over many years, which allows him to maintain as much control as possible over the situation in each branch.

If any problems arise, it will be easier for Mitsubishi to respond promptly, giving the Iwasaki family a buffer period.

Moreover, the Iwasaki family, being a family at the forefront of the times, naturally knew about the existence of superhumans long ago.

While others avoided talking about the extraordinary person.

Taro Iwasaki has begun to build a group of superhumans exclusively for the Mitsubishi Group, and these are the superhumans who are regarded as monsters.

He saved the Iwasaki family multiple times, uncovered spies, protected his clansmen, and prevented assassinations, making great contributions to the Iwasaki family.

The Iwasaki family has weathered countless storms to reach its current size.

Those who are still stuck in the past and refuse to accept the future have gradually been abandoned by the times.

Only families like the Iwasaki family, which engage in deep cooperation with supernatural beings, can survive better.

only......

For some reason, after Iwasaki Taro finished his routine morning meeting...

He sensed something was amiss. Everything seemed normal, even the meals were served according to his personal preferences, implying that everything was alright.

But Iwasaki Taro felt that something was wrong, and he sat at the dining table with a frown.

From the shadows, a bodyguard dressed in ninja attire, revealing only a face covered in scars, cautiously approached and inquired.

"But is there something wrong with it?"

This bodyguard is named Sato Rei, an orphan raised by Iwasaki Taro. He is exceptionally talented and was sent by Iwasaki to the famous Hattori clan to embark on the path of a ninja.

All the scars on his body were left from protecting the Iwasaki family.

For the Iwasaki family, Sato Rei was utterly devoted, working tirelessly until his dying breath.

Therefore, Iwasaki Taro trusted him completely, and yesterday he even arranged for him to keep an eye on Cui Ming and the others.

To prevent these wolves returning from the battlefield from doing anything unwise.

"Zero, those guys like Yamashita Akira, they didn't do anything out of line, did they?"

Taro Iwasaki leaned back in the soft chair, rubbing his temples wearily.

I guess I'm getting old. I'm always so restless.

Taro Iwasaki felt a chill run down his spine and muttered to himself.

"Lord Yamashita did not do anything out of line."

Sato Rei, standing to the side, simply stared indifferently at Iwasaki Taro.

"..."

But just that one sentence was enough to make Taro Iwasaki, who was sitting next to him, break out in a cold sweat.

Yamashita-sama?

"Hey! It's good that you're alright! Looks like I was overthinking it."

Taro Iwasaki didn't react much, but immediately adjusted his mindset, slapped his hands on the table in front of him, and tried to use the momentum to stand up.

At the same time, he pressed his right thumb on the table and quietly pressed a hidden button under the tabletop.

Just press that spot!

Sato Rei, standing to the side, didn't stop him. Instead, he put his hand on Iwasaki Taro's shoulder and pushed him back into his seat.

"Lord Iwasaki, you've probably forgotten."

"This survival button was made under my supervision."

The familiar honorific address from Sato Rei reached his ears, but at that moment, it sent a chill through Iwasaki Taro, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"What...what exactly did Yamashita Akira give you that made you betray the family that nurtured you for so many years?!"

"Lord Iwasaki, please rest assured, your life is not in danger. Lord Yamashita, you only wish to see you, that's all."

Sato Rei didn't explain much, he just pressed him into the seat and said no more.

Not only that, everyone else in the restaurant seemed to be deaf and blind, and no one reacted no matter how loudly Iwasaki cursed.

Gradually, Taro Iwasaki realized that something was wrong. If it were any other time, his servants, guards, and bodyguards would have rushed in as soon as he made a sound.

But now, the entire He Guan is so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

What on earth happened?!

How did it become like this?

Impossible! A down-on-his-luck nobleman returning from a war zone couldn't possibly have accomplished something like this.

Could it be...?

Is it that old codger Yoshimura?

Is Sumitomo pretending to seek refuge with Mitsubishi, but actually wanting to get involved?

Hmph, but they never dreamed that as long as I, Taro Iwasaki, don't say a word, they won't be able to touch a single penny of the entire Mitsubishi Group!
