Persona: Devil Summoner

"I'm sorry, it looks like Jin Cheng is very defensive."

"You are so messy! Idiot!".

Fang Zexia tried hard to put on a mischievous smile, but she couldn't wipe away the worry between her brows.

When the two landed, everyone in the Phantom Thieves quickly surrounded them, talking to each other. Although some scolded him for being reckless and some reprimanded him for taking risks, he could still feel everyone's concern from the sharp criticism, and Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but smile.

Based on what just happened, Jiang Tianwei speculated a lot of things.

It is obvious that Jin Cheng is a very cautious and self-confident person. To him, the whole Shibuya is his bank, and he can absorb money at will. And his own base is like a UFO, flying above Shibuya, no one can catch it, and no one can get up. If you are like Jiang Tianwei and must try to break through head-on, then the leader of this gang will not mind using force to kill you.

So far, Jincheng is definitely the most troublesome guy...

"If you want to get into a bank, you have to at least change Jincheng's perception..."

Morgana said this and everyone nodded silently.

There are more than one way to get up there. Either you make Jincheng feel that it is not strange for everyone to go to your base. Or you have to make Jincheng feel that the place he is in is not as safe as he imagined.

(If I want to rewrite this... no matter what, I have to know where Jincheng's base is first...)

Jiang Tianwei immediately thought of his stepfather. Although Jiang Tianwei didn't know what level of gang the Kawahara Group was, there was no doubt that there must be connections between gangs. Everyone would divide each other's territory, and they must know where the bases of others were...

If I go to ask my stepfather for help, can I ask him to introduce Jincheng to me? How should I tell him? Should I say that I am the young master of a gang and want to pay my respects? Or should I just say that Jincheng has attacked my school and I want to negotiate?

No matter which one it is, as long as I come into contact with Jincheng in real life, then it will be a natural thing.

Of course, Jiang Tianwei did not say these things.

It’s not that I don’t trust you all, but Jincheng is too dangerous.

The Phantom Thieves have a very strong ability to change other people's hearts. According to previous experience, people whose hearts have been changed will not continue to do evil. But the problem is... Even if you change Jincheng's heart, he still has a group of followers!

If so many people showed up together, not to mention whether your stepfather would get suspicious, if Jincheng's younger brothers saw it, and Jincheng changed his mind in the future, what if his younger brothers launched indiscriminate revenge? Don't say there are no such cases. This kind of bastard who takes revenge on society because he is unhappy is not an isolated case. Wasn't there someone who took a kitchen knife to the gate of an elementary school and killed people indiscriminately?

The fewer people who go to see Jincheng, the better.

This is Jiang Tianwei’s opinion.

Everyone discussed for a long time but could not reach a consensus. After all, they were the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, not the Flying Demon Thieves. If they couldn't fly up, there was nothing they could do.

Therefore, everyone could only come out of the space of acquaintance in shame and decided to hold a meeting at the secret base...

"Ah, I have something else to do. Let me know after you have discussed a solution!"

Jiang Tianwei said this and waved goodbye to everyone. The Fangze sisters were originally brought here by him, and now that he was gone, the two sisters naturally followed him.

Ryuji and Amamiya Ren looked at each other. Ryuji frowned, and it was hard to tell whether it was a complaint or some other emotion. He muttered, "Is he going to act alone again this time?"

Just one word "again" is enough to highlight the current feelings of the Phantom Thieves towards Jiang Tianwei.

"Indeed, it seems that he prefers to act alone rather than in a group."

When Takamaki An heard what Ryuji said, she thought about it carefully and also agreed.

"What do you mean, Captain? Should we remind him to be careful about collective action?"

Morgana asked, popping his head out of his bag.

Amamiya Ren was in a dilemma now.

You know, management is not something that everyone can do.

Although everyone wants to be a leader, once they really become one they will find that people are similar but not the same. Everyone has his or her own little thoughts. It is easier said than done to unify everyone.

For example, now, Jiang Tianwei's matter is difficult to deal with. Everyone can see that he likes to act alone, but before, Jiang Tianwei was just exploring the way, and by the way, he used the software that only he could use to capture some demons for himself to drive.

Now, they have even started skipping group meetings, which is obviously not conducive to the formation of a group.

Kitagawa Yusuke is now temporarily living in Jiang Tianwei's home. It is reasonable for him to say something good for Jiang Tianwei. However, this person is not good at speaking, and the strange sensibility of an artist always makes it difficult for him to empathize with others. He thought for a long time and only said: "This is also his personality."

Amamiya Lian sighed and said, "I'll talk to him later. But now, we should solve Jincheng's problem first."

Yes, after all, the student council president has the evidence in his hands. If we can't deal with Jin Cheng, then everyone will probably have to stay in jail for the rest of their lives.

Chapter 174: Visit the Pier

"Kanejo Junya?"

In the board of directors' office at Kawahara Bank, Jiang Tianwei's stepfather, Mr. Kawahara muttered this.

Jiang Tianwei's recognition of his father and son may not be a big deal in terms of journalism, but it is definitely a big deal for Kawahara Group. As soon as this matter was confirmed, it spread throughout the entire Kawahara Group.

There are four types of gang members:

The first type is the flatterers. These people must immediately understand Jiang Tianwei, the next generation leader, and take the opportunity to curry favor with him in order to seek profits for themselves.

The second type is those who are insincere but not loyal. In every large organization, there are always some employees who are thinking about changing jobs and have no loyalty. Such people definitely need Jiang Tianwei's intelligence more, because they can use it to seek credit when serving the next boss.

The third type is loyal. This type of person needs no explanation, they are the legendary warriors who will die for their friends. This type of person definitely doesn't mind treating Jiang Tianwei as his future master, so naturally he needs his information.

The fourth type is what we often call the muddle-headed type. They are neither ready to make a name for themselves nor to change jobs. They have no loyalty to the organization, but they also have no hostility. They just come here to make a living. Although this type of people do not need Jiang Tianwei's intelligence, they at least need to know who they cannot afford to offend if they want to survive in this unit. Jiang Tianwei is undoubtedly at the top of the list of people who cannot afford to offend.

After all, in everyone's impression, when mentioning the young leader of a gang, people always think of stereotypes such as a playboy, or someone who kills people indiscriminately, or has a bad temper.

To sum up, even though the father and son have only known each other for a short time, now the entire Kawahara group knows that Jiang Tianwei is the young master, so naturally no one stopped him and let him go directly to find the boss.

Jiang Tianwei took a few detours and tentatively asked his stepfather if he knew Jincheng... As a result, the gangster boss pondered for a moment and muttered the name.

What is a boss? This is a boss. Although he only hesitated for a moment, the majestic aura he exuded made Jiang Tianwei sit up straight involuntarily.

"He's just a minor character. Why do you want to meet him?".

Finally, the stepfather spoke, and the suffocating pressure finally eased a little. Jiang Tianwei said quickly, "Actually, it's because... haven't they been blackmailing students all along? Now they have started to blackmail our school. I just want to talk to him and at least get him to change schools."

Mr. Kawahara said nothing, staring at Jiang Tianwei with his eagle-like eyes, as if he wanted to see through him. Jiang Tianwei laughed awkwardly.

After a long time, Mr. Kawahara asked again: "Why do you want to be the first to do this?"

"Well, actually, I just feel that recently, everyone in school is in a state of panic, which makes me uncomfortable. Besides, isn't there a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I feel that I am at least the future heir of the Black... ahem, gang, so I should at least have the courage to negotiate with other gangs, right?"

Jiang Tianwei stammered and said a lot. He had prepared a speech in mind, but he didn't expect that he would become tongue-tied when he saw his stepfather's intimidating aura.

"I'm glad you're so ambitious. Jin Cheng has been acting too radically lately. The police are ready to take action against him. This is what they call 'If you do too much evil, you'll eventually perish.'"

Mr. Kawahara suddenly said something in Chinese, and he spoke it quite well. He paused here deliberately, and seeing that Jiang Tianwei did not respond, he could only ask, "Am I speaking Chinese correctly?"

"Yes, very true."

"That's good, your mother taught me this."

This sentence sounded like a curse, and Jiang Tianwei had no way to refute it. Looking at his stepfather's face that seemed to be carved out of rock, he always felt that something was strange... After thinking for a while, he vaguely realized: Could it be that he wanted to find some common topics with me? Knowing that I am Chinese, he came here to learn a Chinese sentence for me? This is really...

Without waiting for Jiang Tianwei to think, Mr. Kawahara continued to talk about the topic: "Originally, I didn't recommend you to get in touch too early. But too much protection will make you lose the room for growth. I will say hello to Jincheng. You go and negotiate on your own. Don't worry, no matter what the result is, the police are ready to take action, and your school will soon return to peace. Don't feel psychologically burdened, just treat it as an ordinary negotiation. Go."

Jiang Tianwei said thank you gratefully, turned and left.

When he went downstairs and left the bank, a black car was already parked at the door. Two men in black were waiting at the door, obviously waiting for Jiang Tianwei. When they saw Jiang Tianwei coming, one of them went to the front row and sat in the driver's seat, and the other opened the door for Jiang Tianwei, obviously signaling him to get in the car.

The purpose of this car is also very obvious, it is the lair of Junya Kaneshiro.

————————————————————

Kaneshiro Junya is in a good mood today.

For someone like him, his mood is bound to be good and bad at times, and whether he is in a good mood or not really depends entirely on his mood.

He calls himself the ruler of Shibuya, and everyone in the streets of Shibuya is afraid of him. Ordinary people don't know him, but both the black and white worlds have to give him face in Shibuya.

Especially today, when Jincheng Junya received a phone call, his expression suddenly turned dark, with a hint of calm anger. Then, he received another phone call, and the cloudy weather immediately turned sunny, his mood brightened, and his face was full of smiles.

The person on the other end of the phone was the big shot whom Jincheng had always respected - the leader of the Kawahara Group.

Just like athletes will look up to top athletes, violent gangs will also look up to top gangsters. There is no doubt that to be able to whitewash one's identity to this extent, both the black and white worlds need to give him face, not to mention that both the black and white worlds need to give him face, which shows how capable he is.

"Oh, boss, are you in a good mood today?"

As soon as he put down his phone, the hostess next to him, who was wearing heavy makeup and revealing clothes, immediately stuck to Jincheng. The scent of expensive perfume emanated from her body and stained Jincheng's expensive blue suit.

"Haha, you can tell? Today, Boss Kawahara told me that his son is coming to visit. Tsk tsk, it looks like my day of success is not far away. Even Boss Kawahara's son needs to come to visit me."

"Wow, that's amazing~"

It was obvious that the hostess didn't know the details of the gang's level division. She just followed Jincheng's words and spoke in a coquettish voice.

"Alright, guys, a big shot is coming over today. Clean up the mess! If anyone dares to cause trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The place Jincheng used as his base was a secret bar. This bar had absolutely no stains in any sense, and even if the police came, they would have no evidence to cause trouble for him.

The white gangs can't do anything to me, and the black gangs have to give me face, tsk tsk tsk...

Jincheng felt a sense of superiority and walked to a leather sofa and sat down. The hostess immediately understood and also fell down on the boss's arm. She was graceful and considerate, and now she was Jincheng's favorite. Seeing her obedient appearance, Jincheng always felt that a beautiful blueprint for the future appeared in his mind...

(Although I still have to be humble to Boss Kawahara now, but soon, when I become rich... hehe... then it will be my turn to be respected as the Boss of Jincheng... Now I have to flatter this young master first. What does this brat know? As long as he treats me as his confidant... hehe, then, Kawahara's territory will be mine sooner or later!).

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 175: Meeting an old friend at the bar

The black car turned several turns and finally arrived at the door of a bar.

From every aspect, this bar seems no different. There is a "Closed" sign hanging at the door, but through the translucent frosted glass, you can clearly see another world of lights and wine inside.

It was obvious that Jin Cheng had greeted his men. Two minions in plain clothes, with dyed hair and smoking cigarettes were waiting at the door. When he saw Jiang Tianwei getting out of the car surrounded by two men in black, he knew that this was the big shot that the boss had told him to come! He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, and greeted him with a smile.

"You must be the young master of the Kawahara family. Brother Jincheng has been waiting for you in there for a long time."

Before Jiang Tianwei could speak, the man in black on the side said "hmm". Although it was just a short word, the two smiling minions hurried to open the door.

Kaneshiro Junya fits the general understanding of the term "overconfident".

Although he was not as fat as the boiled egg principal of Xiujin College, he was also chubby. His short stature, round face and waxed hair gave him a greasy feeling. Whether it was the suit he was wearing, the leather shoes on his feet, or the rings on his fingers, they all cost a lot of money.

Rather than being the leader of a violent gang, he gives people the impression of being a nouveau riche.

As soon as he saw Jiang Tianwei coming, he smiled and said quickly, "Hello, hello, hello, nice to meet you, nice to meet you, you are the son of Boss Kawahara, right? Haha, come on, come on, please take a seat."

Jiang Tianwei was startled by his enthusiasm, and tried to calm himself. He coughed dryly and repeatedly reminded himself in his heart: I am now the young master of a gang, the young master of a gang. Only then did he calm down and walked over to sit on the sofa. Jin Cheng was still smiling, and he clapped his hands. Immediately, four or five beautiful women with heavy makeup came out from the room behind, all with smiles on their faces, and surrounded Jiang Tianwei and were about to sit down...

Fang Zexia saw this scene and laughed, "You are not even a [Qi person], you are a [Qi person squared]!"

Her words contain both mathematics and Chinese, which most people cannot understand. The Qi people refer to an ancient Chinese people that people admire. As the old saying goes, "The Qi people have one wife and one concubine." Since the Qi people have two confidantes, then if you square them, wouldn't that be four people?

Jiang Tianwei was sighing about how he understood it, and complained in his heart: This little girl, I have to teach her a lesson when I go back, you still think these four beauties are a good thing! ? Don’t you know that lust is a knife above your head? ! Even if there is no knife, don’t you have to ask about the kidneys... Why do you think this organ can be sold for hundreds of thousands... Let’s take a step back, even if we don’t talk about these messy problems, with the current economic situation, how much do you think it will cost to support four wives? !

Although being surrounded by beauties is a man's dream, Jiang Tianwei is not pretending to be a gentleman. He has also fantasized about being treated like an emperor. But it is obvious that Jincheng called these girls out for some other purpose, to get something from him.

I have to say that the quality of the girls in the Phantom Thieves is really high. After seeing too many flat models like Takamaki An and twin sisters like the Yoshizawa sisters who practice rhythmic gymnastics with great temperament, you will not be interested in those who are plain-looking and can only wear heavy makeup to disguise their looks.

(If it was Takamaki An, Yoshizawa Kasumi, Yoshizawa Sumire and Niijima Makoto, I would have really fallen for them.)

Jiang Tianwei muttered to himself, and suddenly realized why he was so obsessed with comparing Shinjima Shinya to a hostess. Fortunately, she was not there, otherwise he would be embarrassed to death.

The two men in black beside him were certainly not there just for show, they were there to act as guards. Before the four women got close to Jiang Tianwei, they saw the two guards sitting on his left and right, directly blocking the women's way.

Several people looked at each other and secretly looked at Jincheng's face. Jincheng was indeed a man in this business and knew the principle of "don't pick hard persimmons". He was still smiling. He raised his eyebrows, and a few minions came over with Japanese sake that looked expensive, and poured wine for Jiang Tianwei and the two guards. Two minions came over to offer cigarettes...

Jiang Tianwei waved his hand to refuse, and said awkwardly: "I'm not an adult yet."

"Hey, a big shot like you still cares about this little Japanese law?"

Jincheng laughed.

Seeing that Jiang Tianwei had no intention of touching the cup, Jin Cheng felt a little suspicious.

In his opinion, the things that this second-generation young master likes are nothing more than the following: luxury cars, beauties, cigarettes, alcohol, and gold goods... Now beauties and cigarettes are no longer acceptable. As for luxury cars, let's not talk about the price. With the strength of Kawahara Group, what car can't they get?

(It seems that this is the only last bit of my kindness left. It may be crude and simple, but it will definitely be effective.)

Jin Cheng thought so, pulled out a metal box from under the table, and dropped it in front of Jiang Tianwei with a bang. He opened the lock, and found that it was full of ten thousand yuan bills, neatly arranged. He could faintly smell a faint smell of paper, and wondered if it was the smell of money that everyone often talked about.

It must be said that this simple and crude money offensive caused tons of damage to Jiang Tianwei. This young man, who was a poor worker not long ago, had never seen so much money before? The last time he saw so much money was when he asked his stepfather for 10 million to humiliate the shameless couple.

Noticing that Jiang Tianwei could not help but breathe heavier, Jin Cheng felt much happier: I am not afraid of greed, I am afraid of being stubborn. As long as I know that this kid loves money, it will be easy to deal with.

"The young master and I hit it off right away. My money is your money, so feel free to spend it. If it's not enough, you can always tell Brother Jincheng."

Jin Cheng smiled and pushed the money box in his hand towards Jiang Tianwei. Jiang Tianwei felt a chill in his heart and thought that this was not a good idea. He was about to refuse...

But then I thought, there was once a great martial arts novelist who created a free-spirited ranger holding a deer-cutting knife. There was a plot in the novel where the villain deliberately gave money to the ranger, and the ranger also spent his life to waste the money. Because he knew that the more he spent, the less money the other party had...

Thinking of this, Jiang Tianwei nodded and did not refuse. Anyway, Jincheng is about to reform, do you think the police station will share this money with the blackmailed people? No. This money will only be confiscated. Instead of going into the pockets of those fat guys, it is better to go into my own pocket.
