Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Bai Yu leaned against the door frame and watched Nan Shizhi call other people in to clean up the messy mourning hall and the body.

After confirming that Nan Shihui was dead, he was placed in the coffin.

"Are you still planning to hold the funeral?"

"No matter what, he is still my grandfather." Minami Shiori replied: "At least this funeral should be completed... It's just a fake death that turned into a real death. Those outsiders won't care."

"Hmm..." Bai Yu remained noncommittal.

Nan Shizhi bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your help. If you weren't here, I'm afraid both the Nan family and I would have been killed."

"Be more confident." Bai Yu said with a smile, "Remove the 'I'm afraid'."

Nan Shizhi raised her eyes and said, "How can I repay you? As you can see, the Nan family is in turmoil now. I no longer have the ability to pay you a satisfactory reward."

"You make it sound like I'm taking advantage of someone else's misfortune." Bai Yu crossed his arms and said, "Don't bother testing me. Relax, little girl. You don't have to pay the price..."

Minami Shiori pressed on, "So, your sister will pay for it?"

Her eyes flickered as she bit her lip. "Excuse me, but what is the relationship between you and my sister?"

Before he could finish his words, several cars crossed the street and stopped with a sudden sound of brakes.

The sudden noise once again frightened the Nan family members, who were like frightened birds, and the guards surrounded them nervously.

Minami Shiori didn't have time to ask any further questions. She only had time to see clearly the family emblem on the car, which was that of the Sakata family.

This group of people have always been at odds with the Nan family. Are they here now to take advantage of the situation?

She was just about to speak when she saw the elder of the Sakata family standing outside the door with an embarrassed expression. He then looked through the crowd and bowed his head in greeting.

"Your Mightiness!"

"The car is ready!"

When this group of people bowed their heads, the originally solemn atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

The guards subconsciously turned around and finally looked at Minami Shiori...

behind.

Bai Yu was holding a piece of Japanese confectionery that Ah Zi handed over. He took a slow bite and said casually, "Come in."

The elder of the Sakata family took a step forward, and the others behind him followed.

"Only you."

Bai Yu continued to instruct, "The others who came here, go clean the floor. Remember to clean the bodies thoroughly. Then bring the headless body and its head here."

The elder turned around and scolded the slow-moving tribesmen: "Do as you say! If you're wasting time, bring your heads to me!"

The elder wiped the sweat from his forehead. On the way here, he saw corpses everywhere. Because he had actually attended the meeting, he knew very well that those here were the elite of the Nine-Headed Dragon Organization.

All dead.

He was even more grateful that he had come here on his own initiative instead of relying on luck.

In the mourning hall, Bai Yu casually asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Sakata Ryo," the elder replied sincerely, "Thank you for not killing me."

"The Jiu Tou Long organization has been destroyed." Bai Yu said concisely: "Red Leaf Sword Master has also been killed by me. You will see his body later."

Sakata Ryo's heart skipped a beat, he lowered his head and wiped the sweat off his face.

"I remember that the bounties offered by Red Leaf Swordsman and Nine-headed Dragon Organization have always been quite high?" Bai Yu continued to ask.

"Yes, it's not low. Both the shogunate and the emperor have offered rewards. Whoever can wipe out the Kuzuryu organization can be promoted and get a higher level of nobility status." Sakata Ryo knew that this was a huge bounty. What was important was not wealth and material things, but the reputation gained after killing the Red Leaf Swordsman and the ticket to the high-level power circle of Fuso.

Bai Yu threw the Red Leaf Knife in front of Sakata Ryo: "Do you want it?"

"How dare you! This is your trophy!"

"I'm not interested in Fusang." Bai Yu crossed his legs and asked, "Do you think I have the time and energy to waste here?"

"what do you mean?"

"I prefer smart people." Bai Yu frowned.

Sakata Ryo straightened his back and sat up. "The Sakata family is willing to do this for you, sir! In exchange for this reward, the Sakata family will accept all your requests!"

"You accept everything?"

"I'm even willing to submit." Sakata Ryo smiled bitterly. "But I think the Sakata family is unworthy of your status. This matter cannot be disclosed to other members of the Sakata family, lest they become arrogant due to their favor."

Bai Yu drummed his fingers on the table beside him. "My idea is simple. I can give you the credit for killing the Red Leaf Sword Master and destroying the Nine-Headed Dragon, but I want 70% of all the profits and assets that the Sakata family will earn in the future."

Sakata Ryo was shocked when he heard this. 70%? This is really...

"You are so generous!"

Seventy percent may seem like a lot, but the focus is not on the proportion of the share, but on the logic behind the share.

To put it bluntly, this ratio is no different from being a dog. This strong binding of interests also means that the Sakata family has an additional retreat and support in the future.

Besides, Bai Yu has no energy to manage Da Xia, and the actual distribution of interests still circulates within Fusang.

He knew that Bai Yu would definitely look down on the Fusang Chinese who lived off the land, so the distribution of interests would still be within Fusang, and the next party to deal with would definitely be the Nan family.

Bai Yu continued, "Of the 70% profit, 30% will be handed over to the Nan family for management."

Sakata Ryo hesitated for a moment, not because he was reluctant, but because did the Nan family still have the ability to do so?

There may also be opposition voices from within the family, but the Nan family is too weak and does not have the power to control them.

Unless the two families marry...

"Of course, it also needs to be acceptable in name." Bai Yu said, "I need you from the Sakata family to select an outstanding legitimate daughter to be adopted into the Nan family. She will change her surname to Nan and nominally be Nan Shiori's sister. After the adoption, any marriage contract or other arrangements will be invalidated."

Sakata Ryo breathed a sigh of relief: "I will obey your orders, sir. I wonder what the Nan family's Patriarch means?"

"I agree." Nan Shizhi didn't think much about it. She just thought that Bai Yu would not harm her. Without him, there would be no Nan family tonight. Now it was just a small concession, which was not a big deal.

Sakata Ryo said happily: "Such a combination will surely be even more powerful."

"Next is the remaining 40%." Bai Yu picked up the last piece of Japanese fruit and said, "Go to Kanto and contact a gang called the Shiromine Group. After making contact with a woman named Shiromine Naomi, hand over this part of the industry to her for management."

"The Yakuza organization..." Sakata Ryo was a little surprised. The Yakuza was at the lowest end of the contempt chain, much weaker than the Chinese and the military families, yet they wanted to transfer 40% of their industries there.

Bai Yu also noticed Minami Shizhi's strange look, so he explained, "Currently, Amamiya Mahiru and Shiromine Naomi have a close cooperative relationship."

Both of them suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

The Shiromine Group is not important, but Amamiya Mahiru is important.

Sakata Ryoshin thought that it could be seen from the profit sharing ratio that the value of the Minami family was probably far less than that of Amemiya Mahiru alone.

This genius from Daxia came to Fusang specifically to kill people, probably out of a desire for love.

Thinking of this, Sakata Ryo couldn't help but look at Minami Shiori a few more times, thinking secretly in his heart... Logically speaking, Minami Shiori is already very pretty. It is rumored that Minami Mahiru, the eldest daughter of the Minami family, is blind and has been trained as a pawn for marriage by the former head of the family, Minami Ujiteru, for more than ten years.

Could it be that this Amemiya Mahiru is as beautiful as Tamamonomae?

But Daxia is a country of talented people. Is a woman, no matter how beautiful she is, worth all this trouble?

No matter what, this Amemiya Mahiru really has a good fate. Although he was born with a defect, he was able to attract the real dragon of Daxia. If this gets out, I wonder how many women will be envious. Even if she becomes a concubine or a mistress, it will be much more glorious than an ordinary wife.

Sakata Ryo couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and decisively raised his finger to swear.

After listening to this, Bai Yu stood up and said, "Okay, I have to rush to the next set. You guys can talk about the rest."

"I'll take you there!" they both said in unison.

At this moment, Ah Zi came over with some freshly made Japanese confectionery. "Well, since you like it, I specially packed some for you."

"Thanks, A Zi." Bai Yu smiled: "You are just like what Mahiru said, a gentle and kind person."

Ah Zi was dazzled by the smile, lowered her head and blushed, then remembered something and handed over an item: "This, this is something the young lady left behind."

Bai Yu took the bag and opened it to see that it contained a scarf, a dark red scarf.

"The young lady couldn't see, so she knitted very slowly. Just before she was done, she suddenly stopped and said she didn't know who to give it to." Ah Zi smiled and said, "I think it would suit you very well and the young lady would be very happy."

Bai Yu took a look and found that the scarf was still a little bit short of being finished, but the length was enough.

He wrapped the scarf around his neck. The clothes and the red scarf matched perfectly and complemented each other.

"It really suits you." Sakata Ryo offered this flattery in time.

"Where's the car?"

"Right outside the door."

There is an imported high-end motorcycle parked outside the door.

Bai Yu initially thought it was a car, so Sakata Ryo introduced it, "I see you're particularly fond of motorcycles. This Dodge Tomahawk was built by a top-tier factory in Rome. The customization and shipping alone took a year and a half..."

He cut short the introductory nonsense and said he knew the Dodge Tomahawk in his previous life... on the Internet.

I climbed onto the bike, stepped on the clutch, started the motorcycle, and it ignited successfully. The roar sounded like the breathing of a wild beast in the night.

"Nice car." Bai Yu released the brake and said without a word, "Let's go."

The car lights came on, and after a beautiful and gorgeous drift, the figure disappeared into the night.

All I could see were the afterimages of the red car lights and the scarf that looked like a burning flame.

Sakata Ryo gazed at the flames sinking into the mountains and exclaimed, "This is truly a dragon among men."

Minami Shiori was silent, wanting to say something, but ultimately responded with a simple, "Yeah."

Sakata Ryo knew she was feeling mixed emotions, so he took the initiative to change the subject: "Master Nan, next, shall we discuss the specific candidates for adoption? The Sakata family has many outstanding descendants. As for girls, I do have a few recommendations. I doubt you'd like those spoiled ones either. However, we do have a young daughter who is particularly talented in business..."

The rise of the Nan family will be unstoppable, so it is necessary to build good relationships in advance.

Sakata Ryo had a smile on his face, but he was very serious and nervous inside, even excited.

After overcoming the deadlock tonight, his Sakata family will surely take advantage of the favorable conditions to gain momentum.

Chapter 428 Lost and then crazy

Walking out of the convenience store, there was a constant stream of cars on the street.

Ryuji Amamiya turned and walked into the alley with a lunch box in his hand. Thanks to the relatively developed catering industry in Fuso, a simple lunch box contained vegetables and meat, so at least he could eat his fill.

It was already night, and he was walking with his head down, wearing a raincoat. Occasionally, pedestrians on the road would avoid him, thinking he was a silent and lonely person, which also saved him a lot of trouble.

Less than a hundred meters away from the convenience store, he arrived at his current residence.

It was an old building. Its once beautiful white exterior had peeled off, revealing a mottled gray cement surface. It looked like an old woman's face that could not be saved even with heavy makeup.

This building is a typical unfinished building. It was originally planned to be demolished, but it was delayed for various reasons. It seems that the two parties failed to reach an agreement. Later, with the relocation of nearby commercial areas, this place also lost its added value.

After being converted into cheap rental housing, it is rented out to all kinds of people. It is very convenient that no identification is required, but most of the people living here are not decent people. They include hostesses, third-rate gigolos, gangsters, and human batteries for unscrupulous companies.

Most of the people who live here are as rotten as this building. Once they stay here for three months, they will be assimilated into similar garbage.

Ryuji Amamiya and his group of people are not of the same kind, but he can't help but wonder if one day he will die on the roadside like his neighbor who works in Pachinko's shop, with no one to collect his body.

After all, he had come here fleeing for his life.

Hiding here is also to avoid being hunted by the Onmyoji.

This hiding lasted for more than two months.

At first, he always carried a sword with him when he went out, but later he gradually got used to hiding. To this end, he even had good exchanges with several neighbors nearby, deliberately absorbing the smell of people at the bottom of society from them. He also encountered several searches along the way, but fortunately, with the mutual protection of the neighbors, he was mostly safe.

At first, Amamiya Ryuji looked down on the residents and tenants nearby, but as he got to know them for a while, his opinion gradually changed. There might be some rubbish among these people, but in fact, there weren't that many. They just had their own way of life and they had their own shining points. In fact, many of them were extremely rare among the samurai and the nobles...

Kindness.

Even if this kindness was based on the common sense that the weak must stick together to survive, at least when treating him, a stranger with many secrets and unknown origins, they maintained a respectful attitude of not questioning each other, and when the inspection came, they would hand a cigarette to the patrolmen in charge of security in this area and say a few good words.

Even though Amamiya Ryuji knew very well that he was not on the same path as these people, he still couldn't help but stay for another month. Here... he even felt a little relieved. The worldly atmosphere and human touch suppressed the violent and evil spirit in him.

I had just returned home with my lunch box when I suddenly heard a sound.

He opened the door and grabbed an old umbrella beside him. Any sharp metal could kill people in the hands of a swordsman.

Then he heard the sound of cooking, accompanied by the aroma of oil.

As if she heard the noise at the entrance, the little girl in an apron ran over and said, "You're back!"

Seeing the little girl, Amamiya Ryuji dropped his umbrella and frowned, "Hey! Why are you here again?"
