"jingle!"

Looking at Teruhashi Kokomi who pushed the door open and gradually disappeared in the rainy night, Ryuhiko turned around and was about to shut down the equipment in the store one by one, and calculate the first day's revenue with Saito Takuma. Unexpectedly, not long after he turned around, the wind chimes at the store door rang again.

"What's wrong, Teruhashi-kun? Did you forget to bring something..."

Hearing the sound of wind chimes, Long Yan subconsciously thought that Teruhashi Xinmei had left something in the store. But when he turned around to look, he found an old man in a well-tailored suit, a top hat, and a bright red rose pinned to his chest, appearing in his store with a smile on his face.

Ryuhei Ueno!

Although the original owner didn't know much about him in his memory, and even Long Yan himself didn't know much about this character, but the moment he saw this little old man, Long Yan recognized him as the financial guarantee of the Kowloon Group.

Chairman of the Kowloon Ueno Association, one of the nine core organizations of the Kowloon Group.

Of course, in addition to his identity as the president of the Ueno Kai, Ryuhei Ueno has another special identity.

The creditor of Uesugi Ryuhiko.

The dojo located in the SWORD area, which was considered a must-fight place by the two major factions of the Kowloon Group, was mortgaged in the hands of Ryuhei Ueno.

Looking at the old man in front of him, whose eyes were full of shrewdness but who entered his "territory" alone, Long Yan couldn't help but become alert.

But before he could say anything, Ueno Ryuhei broke the silence and said, "I heard that you made a bet with that guy Jiacun? You used something you pawned to make a bet without telling your uncle. This is not a good habit, my nephew Longyan."

Ryuhei Ueno's tone was very calm, without any emotion showing. Even just looking at this smiling old man, it would be difficult for ordinary people to connect him with the Kowloon Group, a huge organization that overpowers the entire Japanese underworld.

But if you mistakenly think that he is an easy-going person because of this, you are totally wrong.

Those who deal in finance have dirty hearts.

A war without the smoke of gunpowder is the real kind of cannibalism.

Hearing this, Long Yan curled the corner of his mouth in disdain.

He didn't think that his bet with Ryumi Iemura would not be known to other people in the Kowloon Group.

In his view, it was just a matter of time.

In response to Ryuhei Ueno's opening remarks, he responded directly and softly.

“As I remember, I only mortgaged the dojo to the bank under your name, but the ownership is still in my hands, right?

There is no law in Japan that states that everyone has no right to dispose of their own property.

I think if I gave the dojo to Ryumi Iemura he would be happy to pay off that part of my debt.

If you came here today just to call me to task, I think you should think carefully about how to join Kurosaki Junlong after he takes over as the next president."

However, in response to Long Yan, the smile on Ueno Ryuhei's face became even brighter. That look seemed to remind Long Yan of a big man named Brother Huanxi in his previous life.

He just laughed and scolded in a tone like an elder scolding a younger person.

"Haha, you have a sharp tongue.

However, don't think that I can't see that this is your delaying tactic. Iemura Ryumi is not a fool. The reason we let you do whatever you want is just for the sake of the Ninth President's face.

You don't really think that your little tricks can fool us, do you?

Jiulong is not some low-ranking organization, little brat."

Hearing this, Long Yan couldn't help but frown.

It wasn't because his tricks had been seen through, but because in his opinion, the person who could speak to him in that tone did not exist in this world.

For a moment, he suddenly lost interest in continuing to play witty games with the shrewd old man in front of him, and asked directly.

"Of course I know.

However, as long as the goal can be achieved, whether it is a conspiracy or an open conspiracy, the means are not important.

Let's get straight to the point. Why are you here today?"

Hearing this, Ryuhei Ueno's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands and smiled as if he had heard something that quite agreed with him.

"well said.

As long as the goal is achieved, the means are not important.

This sentence is very well said.

Then I will keep it secret. I plan to formally initiate the acquisition process of your temple.

One hundred and fifty million yen.

A very reasonable price, isn't it?

As long as you sell it to me, half of what you need to do to "settle" can be done in one go.

I'll make you another promise.

If you are unable to complete the "breakup" after one year, my Ueno Society can come forward to guarantee you. As long as you leave one hand, you can save your life.

No, strictly speaking, it's your life and his.

Quite a good deal, isn’t it? "

As he spoke, Ryuhei Ueno pointed at Saito Takuma, who was standing behind the bar with a serious look on his face.

Is this the same rhetoric again?

After hearing the same words as those spoken by Ryumi Iemura, Ryuhiko no longer wanted to continue to tangle with Ryuhei Ueno.

In his opinion, the promises of the Yakuza are no different from paper used to wipe shit.

"I'm sorry, I have no plans to change his last name for that dojo."

Facing Long Yan's rejection, Ueno Ryuhei didn't care, but continued with an unchanged expression: "In front of capital and us, the last name is not important, right? The money in your hands and the air you can continue to breathe are the real things."

However, in the face of Ueno Ryuhei's persistence, Ryuhiko suddenly changed the subject, tapped his neck lightly with his hand, and responded softly in a tone as if he was saying something insignificant.

“Two days ago, I went to the hospital for a physical examination.

The doctor said I have a problem with my spine and I will never be able to lower my head again in my life."

These seemingly unrelated words blocked Ryuhei Ueno's next words.

He had his confidence. From the appearance of Ryumi Iemura to the many words that Ryuhei Ueno had said to him tonight, he had more or less guessed something.

Ryuhei Ueno and other members of the Kowloon Group, including Ryumi Iemura, can't do anything to him!

Sure enough, Ryuhei Ueno's next words proved his guess.

“Young man, don’t be too harsh in your words and deeds.

Too rigid will easily break. This also applies to the spine.

But don't worry, we promised the Ninth President that no matter how much trouble you cause within this year, we will not take action against you or him. This is why your dessert shop can open smoothly, and even why Jiacun Longmei is willing to be patient and make a bet with you.

But...”

Speaking of this, Ryuhei Ueno, who had been smiling since he entered the door and looked like a kind old man, suddenly changed his expression.

His face was gloomy and he laughed softly like a devil from hell.

"Don't think that knowing two police captains will restrain us. If you want Kowloon to take you seriously, you need at least a high-ranking official at the level of Superintendent to endorse you.

As a human being, sometimes you have to think more about the people around you.

This way, you won’t have fewer and fewer friends, right? "

In just a moment, Long Yan's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

.........cut.........

PS. Please give me monthly tickets, rewards, and blades~

I will definitely strive for perfect attendance this month, and I am craving for razor blades~~~!

Chapter 44: Entering the Game

There is no doubt that Ryuhei Ueno's words have touched Ryuhiko's bottom line, but he also understands that even if he kills Ryuhei Ueno here, nothing will change.

There is more to Kowloon than just Ryuhei Ueno’s family.

Not to mention that when his face just darkened, the young people of the Ueno Society who were standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window had already reached their hands into their arms, as if they would immediately draw their guns and shoot him if he dared to make a move. Long Yan even suspected that the reason why Ueno Ryuhei angered him was to kill him on the spot in "self-defense".

Especially at times like this, the more you should stay calm.

When Ryuhei Ueno saw that Ryuhiko suppressed his anger in a very short time, he couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration in his eyes.

But soon, Ryuhei Ueno gently shook his head and said softly with some regret.

“A very wise choice.

It seems that my previous judgment of you was a bit biased. Maybe getting rid of you here is the right choice. "

Sure enough, this old guy came in with the intention of getting rid of me as soon as he got the chance, so he didn't arrange any people around him, just to allow me to take action against him in an extreme situation.

A hint of cruelty flashed in Long Yan's eyes.

I'll remember this account!

Facing the stern-faced Ryuhiko, Ueno Ryuhei appeared very calm. He just slowly stood up from his chair like an ordinary old man, smoothed out the wrinkles on his suit, and re-buttoned the second button of his suit before continuing to speak slowly to Ryuhiko.

"Since you don't plan to sell the dojo for the time being, then if I continue to sit here, I will only annoy people.

However, out of kindness, I still want to give you a friendly reminder before you leave.

Don't wait until you lose some things to regret it.

If you figure it out, you can always come find me. You know where to find me."

"jingle!"

As the wind chimes on the shop door rang, Ryuhei Ueno glanced at Ryuhiko meaningfully, then disappeared into the night without looking back.

After Ueno Ryuhei left, Ryuhiko did not immediately check on his friend's safety. Instead, he shouted to Saito Takuma who was still at the bar: "Give me all the sales today, quickly!"

Long Yan has a very good habit. The more dangerous the moment, the calmer his thinking becomes and the clearer his thoughts become.

This habit had helped him through countless crises in his previous life, and he believed that this time would be no exception.

And then look at Saito Takuma at the bar.

At first he wanted to persuade Long Yan not to be impulsive. It was obvious that Ueno Ryuhei's visit today was a trap for him. Once he fell into the other party's rhythm, he would most likely be in an irretrievable situation.

But when he saw Long Yan's anxious but not panicked eyes, he chose to trust him.

He quickly opened the cash register, put all the money received today into a packing bag and handed it to Long Yan.

After taking the takeaway bag handed to him by Saito Takuma, Long Yan didn't even look at how much money was inside. He turned around, pushed open the door, and rushed out into the rainy night.

"jingle!"

"jingle!"

Looking at the wind chimes swinging wildly because the store door was wide open, and at the thin figure who ignored the drizzle and disappeared into the night, Saito Takuma, who had been silent all the time, lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"I wish you good luck in martial arts!"

......

Night rain.

Long Yan was speeding through the streets of Tokyo, letting the rain hit his face.

Ryuhei Ueno's words undoubtedly told him that the other party had already attacked his friend.

Because of the Ninth Generation Dragon Heart, the person who took action must not be from the Ueno Society, or even from the Kowloon Group. In a way, this undoubtedly relieved Long Yan's pressure.

After all, as the detective Watanabe Masayuki said before, there are many experts in the Kowloon Group. Even the Ueno Group, which is not known for its martial arts, is unlikely to be a match with his current strength.

However, although Long Yan's pressure has eased compared to facing the Kowloon Group, the current problem is that he is not sure who the other party is targeting.

Fortunately, because he is not very interested in this country, Long Yan has not made many friends since he traveled through time.

When Ryuhei Ueno threatened him, he had already started to quickly calculate in his mind.

Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko, Busujima Saeko, Rengoku Momojuro, Fujiwara Chika, Teruhashi Kokomi.

There are only these six people who can be considered friends, especially Teruhashi Kokomi, who only met him because she applied for a part-time job in his own milk tea shop today.

I have to say at this point that Ryuhiko still hasn't realized that Teruhashi Kokomi is the girl he rescued for the first time after coming to this world. This is indeed a bit of a tribute to a certain "face-blindness" who doesn't know his wife's beauty.

As for Kudo Shinichi and Bando Ueto, strictly speaking, they are not friends who have much interaction with Ryuhiko.
