Becoming a Yakuza Boss from Tokyo

He originally thought that Murayama Yoshiki was just confused after being beaten by him and needed guidance, so he came to him specifically.

After all, Murayama Yoshiki still has the "confused" DEBUFF on his head.

Confused: The target is in a confused state, and the fighting spirit decreases by 80%.

It can be seen how much psychological trauma the beating that Long Yan received nearly a month ago left on Murayama Yoshiki.

What he didn't expect was that in addition to coming to him for guidance, Murayama Yoshiki also ignored the age difference between them and directly requested to be able to become his disciple.

Although Long Yan knew that the Japanese respected Sakamoto Ryoma very much, he never expected that Murayama Yoshiki would bow down to him just because of a title.

It should be noted that the principle of "once a teacher, always a father" is not only taken seriously in China, the master-disciple relationship has always been a very deep-rooted existence in Japan, and is even more stringent.

As we all know, a few years ago in China, there was an apprentice of a crosstalk master who was dissatisfied with his low salary. He could not earn any performance fees, and had to pay tuition to his master every year. He felt that his master was exploiting him, so he wrote a 6000-word article in anger, rebelled against his master, and his master even stripped him of his name.

This incident sparked quite a bit of discussion at the time. Each person had his own reasons. In the end, the crowd got tired of the discussion and the matter ended in a mess.

But if this happened in Japan, public opinion would unanimously condemn the apprentice for being ungrateful.

It would be difficult for a person who betrayed his master to survive in a country like Japan, which attaches great importance to the master-disciple relationship.

That's why when Murayama Yoshiki became his disciple, a look of surprise appeared in Ryuhiko's eyes.

After a long while, looking at Murayama Yoshiki who had been lowering his head, Long Yan finally spoke slowly: "My family runs a sword dojo, and there is no Menkyo Kaiden. Are you sure you want to become my disciple?"

Menkyo Kaiden is the highest level of license that can be given by the Japanese swordsmanship community to assess the level of each disciple. It means that the swordsman who obtains this certificate is qualified to represent a school and open a school to teach disciples.

If the master of a school's dojo does not have the Menxu Jiechuan, all the swordsmen in this dojo will not be recognized by the entire sword association.

Before Murayama Yoshiki decided to become his disciple, Ryuhiko felt that he had an obligation to tell him this.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Long Yan's words, Murayama Yoshiki not only did not show any hesitation, but he suddenly raised his head and his face was full of joy.

"No problem at all!"

Murayama Yoshiki did not become Ryuhiko's disciple to learn kendo skills, or to gain recognition from the entire swordsmanship association and embark on the journey of becoming a great swordsman.

He was a simple-minded man who simply thought that staying with Long Yan would help him find the direction of his life, that was all.

Hearing this, Long Yan suddenly raised his hand, interrupted Murayama Yoshiki's words, and continued.

"Don't rush to agree. There is one more thing I must tell you in advance."

Obviously, Murayama Yoshiki had already put himself into the role of "apprentice" at this time. Seeing that Long Yan still had something to say, this young man, who was obviously six or seven years older than Long Yan, straightened his back and put on an expression of "listening to teachings".

Seeing this, Long Yan's eyes twitched slightly, but then he continued speaking.

“Speaking of which, it’s not without reason that Jiacun attacked me.

Ryumi Iemura probably already knew that I was also acquiring the SWORD region, so she came over to give me a warning.

You have to think clearly, becoming my disciple does not only mean standing against the Jiacun Association, but also means becoming an enemy of the entire Kowloon Group.

I don't want to hurt you, I hope you can think it over carefully before making a decision."

What Long Yan didn't expect again was that after hearing his words, Murayama Yoshiki not only did not retreat, but instead echoed him excitedly.

"I know!

I heard everything. I heard that you have joined forces with the Suzuki Group to transform the SWORD area into a comprehensive technology park integrating commerce, education, residence and scientific research.

Not only will we not drive out the original residents, we will also provide jobs and housing to those who are willing to work for you.

Although the evil ones are a bunch of idiots who only know how to swing their fists, they can still tell who is good to them.

By the way, since you own a dojo in the SWORD area, you should have heard of the Despair Community, right?"

Seeing Murayama Yoshiki talking endlessly about his future plans for the SWORD region, I couldn't help but sigh that there is no wall that is impenetrable.

As the Suzuki Group's acquisition progresses, the leakage of the comprehensive science and technology park plan is only a matter of time.

Even Murayama Yoshiki already knew about it, so there was no reason why Iemura Ryumi, as the pioneer officer of Kowloon Group's SWORD region acquisition plan, would not know about it.

Seeing that Murayama Yoshiki seemed to have made up his mind to follow him, Long Yan couldn't help but echo his words.

"Ah, I've heard that not only part-time students, but also many of your full-time students at Guiye High School come from that community."

Hearing this, Murayama Yoshiki nodded slightly and continued.

“Yes, it’s a huge residential area. It’s so big that some children even go to different elementary and junior high schools.

Originally, it should have been a residential area that brought smiles to the whole family and built for a bright future for the children.

But you also know that the SWORD region has always been synonymous with 'common people'. Almost all the people living there are poor and the parents of the children often neglect their education because they work away from home all year round.

Once the adults are gone, the residential area loses its rules and order, and naturally becomes a place where accidents and cases are frequent.

Gradually, people began to give nicknames according to the buildings they lived in.

With arson buildings, murder buildings, ghost buildings and hanging buildings, the residential area naturally became a gathering place for crime. Since when, people called it the "desperate community".

Since they became conscious, the children in the community have formed their own factions based on each building.

They keep fighting each other all day, and I don't know why...

Sounds fucked up, right?

When I saw them, I felt like I was seeing my past self.

He only knows how to swing his fists, knocking down those who stand in his way one after another.

But after I defeated those people, I felt extremely empty inside.

I don't know what the point of doing this is, or why I should continue to wave these fists.

I wanted to find a reason to keep throwing punches, but I also didn't want to see those kids go the way I did.

So I want to become your disciple.

Like you said, I want to change this fucked up world and see a better world with my friends!"

Looking at Murayama Yoshiki, his eyes gradually changed from confusion to determination, and even the DEBUFF "confusion" that had been hanging on his head disappeared.

A smile appeared in Long Yan's eyes.

"So, don't you already know what you want?"

Long Yan's voice was very soft, but it sounded like a loud bell in Murayama Yoshiki's ears.

He stared blankly at the boy in front of him who was six or seven years younger than him. His mouth opened and closed, but he could not utter a word.

However, the next moment, he did something that once again surprised Long Yan.

Murayama Yoshiki, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up, walked to an empty space nearby, sat on the ground with a very serious attitude, and pressed his head to the ground and shouted loudly: "Master!"

"That's too exaggerated!"

With a slight twitch in the corner of his eye, Long Yan looked at Murayama Yoshiki who was kneeling on the ground in an orderly manner, and he didn't know where to start vomiting.

Although in the original work he had seen Murayama Yoshiki, the "King of Demonic High", being humble in front of his "seniors" after becoming a worker and social animal, he really did not expect that the other party could go to this extent in the matter of becoming a disciple.

It has to be admitted that when it comes to respecting teachers, the Japanese have indeed learned the fine traditions from ancient times to the present.

Judging from the behavior of Murayama Yoshiki, he probably won't write a 6000-word article to rebel against his master and post his tuition invoice to complain.

Of course, Long Yan had no intention of collecting tuition from Murayama Yoshiki.

In Japan, if a master accepts a disciple into an ordinary dojo, the disciple has to pay tuition.

However, this does not apply to direct disciples. Basically, they are provided with food and accommodation. However, they are responsible for teaching their disciples, cleaning the temple, and completing all tasks assigned by the master.

After accepting Murayama Yoshiki, Ryuhiko happened to have a task to entrust to him.

Chapter 4 Undercurrent (k)

Time flies, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Ryuhei Ueno's revenge was not slow at all.

Not only the Longjing Mixiang store in Tokyo suffered retaliation, but also a total of 46 Longjing Mixiang franchise stores in the remaining one province, two prefectures, and counties were "visited" by the Ueno Kai.

But compared to the violent vandalism of the Iemura Society, the Ueno Society was much more civilized.

After all, Longjing Mixiang is a well-known internet-famous dessert shop. If one store was smashed and looted, the situation could still be suppressed. However, if every franchise store was attacked by gangsters, it would definitely be defined as a vicious incident.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the wealthy Ueno Society directly chose to pay three times the fee, forcibly rented all the venues used by 46 Longjing Mixiang franchise stores from the landlord, and ordered them to close, trying to quickly cut off Longyan's source of income.

In the original plot of Hot Blood Street, in order to combat the "SWORD Alliance" by the Kowloon Group, Ryuhei Ueno once dealt with the white devil in this way.

Using three times the price, they directly bypassed ROCKY and forcibly rented the venue of his bar Club HEAVEN from the landlord in order to directly strike the enemy base.

But...

To be honest, this method really made Long Yan laugh out loud.

No, to be more precise, the method used by Ryuhei Ueno was almost equivalent to walking blindly into the trap set for him by Ryuhiko.

As early as when the franchise rights of Longjing Mixiang franchise stores were auctioned, Long Yan had already imagined what means Jiulong would use to deal with him.

It is nothing more than starting from four directions: food safety, financial offensive, violent attacks and assassinations.

Needless to say, assassination is definitely the last resort that the Kowloon Group will use against him.

Violent attacks are likely to attract national attention and lead to vicious incidents. The Kowloon Group, which packages itself as a "legal organization", has rarely... No, it should be said that on the surface, it has rarely used violent attacks against legitimate businessmen, so this direction is basically the possibility with the lowest probability of occurrence.

Food safety takes too long and requires time to plan, and it cannot produce immediate results in a short period of time.

By this calculation, the financial offensive is Jiulong's main means of dealing with him. This is a very simple method of elimination.

In order to avoid being put in a passive situation when he fell out with Jiulong, Long Yan had already thought of a countermeasure when the franchise rights were auctioned.

First of all, his franchise rights were only auctioned for one year. As early as the moment the franchise rights were auctioned, the franchisees' money had already gone into his pocket, that is, the initial capital of 500 million yen.

In terms of the initial accumulation of wealth, he has already made a lot of money, and the rest of the income is nothing more than the subsequent share of sales, material costs and management fees.

These scattered revenues constitute the sustainable economic source of the Longjing Mixiang brand, but are also the "target" of Ryuhei Ueno's attack.

However, when Long Yan was auctioning the franchise rights, he deliberately set a condition.

All parties participating in the franchise rights auction must own their own store.

In other words, franchisees who want to participate in the Longjing Mixiang franchise auction must own a store that belongs to them legally.

This condition is reasonable, right?

Even franchisees with a little financial resources will not care about this optional condition.

However, this condition became a trap set by Ryuhiko for Ueno Ryuhei.

Because Long Yan had already clearly stipulated one clause in the contract.

Except for force majeure, all franchisees shall not suspend business for more than three days for any reason, otherwise they shall pay a penalty of twice the franchise fee to Longjing Mixiang Co., Ltd.

He even thoughtfully noted the details of the "force majeure factors".

Force majeure factors mainly include the following categories:

1. Natural disasters, such as typhoons, earthquakes, floods, and hail;

2. Government actions, such as expropriation and requisition;

3. Abnormal social events, such as strikes, riots, etc.

To some extent, the store being taken back by the landlord can indeed be considered as force majeure, but when the franchisee owns the store, he cannot use the excuse that the store is taken back by the landlord as a reason to close the business.

That is to say, once the franchisees suspend business for more than three days without permission while owning the store, they must transfer two-thirds of the price paid by Ryuhei Ueno to Ryuhiko.

Even if the 46 franchise stores of Longjing Mixiang cannot operate normally in the next year, the billion yen penalty is enough to make Long Yan wake up with a smile in his sleep.

Of course, these franchisees can choose not to give it, but if that happens, our "Queen of the Legal World" lawyer Eri Kisaki will have a lot of work to do.

This undefeated goddess, who is known as one of the two pillars of the Japanese legal community together with lawyer Kensuke Kumimon, will make those franchisees willingly pay the penalty for breach of contract.

Besides, Long Yan was not a black-hearted profiteer. He only took two-thirds of the penalty. Not to mention that the franchisees had already made a lot of money in the past two months, the remaining one-third was enough for the franchisees to get back the franchise fees they had paid.

To sum it up, the only one who lost in this wave was Ryuhei Ueno!

Even if we take a step back, Long Yan doesn't think that the struggle between him and Kowloon Group will last for a year!

So, Long Yan simply closed his Longjing Mixiang main store in Tokyo.

47 Longjing Mixiang restaurants closed at the same time. Although there were no rumors of any malicious incidents, it was enough to attract public attention.

Long Yan believed that perhaps these little things were not enough to help him defeat the Kowloon Group, but when these little things accumulated, they would eventually become the fatal blow that destroyed the Kowloon Group.

After closing Longjing Mixiang, Longyan did not continue to live in the storefront in Beika Town.
