It’s not like I’m Seki-san’s subordinate anyway
Indeed. I don’t think I can control you either. Do whatever you please
While at it, they’re also telling the eavesdropper that Kuromori and Kouzuki SS don’t work well together.
That’s amazing.
Well then, let’s go
Our cars head to the hotel’s underground parking lot.
Chapter 727
Shou-neechan’s leading with her usual American car, Rei-chan and Margo-san’s car follow and enters the passage to the hotel’s underground parking lot.
There’s no problem so far.
However.
Shou-neechan, I don’t see any guards at all
I see uniformed guards, but they seem to be employees of this hotel.
I don’t see any uniform from Kouzuki SS.
It’s okay, they’re here. They’re wearing civilian clothes though
Shou-neechan said.
I’m not Yamaoka-san. I won’t mobilize uniformed men and squeeze it to a single location without thinking
Oh, back when Yamaoka was the security director, the number of Kouzuki SS guards wearing uniform dispatched is abnormally high.
The other party this time is unfazed by the numbers game, see?
The other party is Kansai Yakuza.
If you try to compete with them in numbers then they’d use the same thing. They can invite members from their own group in their hometown or maybe borrow some men from the gangs close to them in Kanto. To them, honor is the most important. Especially, they’re making a deal with Kakka. They’ll surely take us on even if it costs them money If Kouzuki SS sets up uniformed men around the hotel just like how Yamaoka would do it, then,
The Yakuza would use the same number for intimidation.
Once that happens, it’ll only bother the people around the hotel. Police would also intervene. This is why we decide to fight with quality, not quantity
It means those in Kouzuki SS wearing civilian clothes are;
They’re the top elites in charge of the illegal back-work
They all are incredibly skilled.
For example, in a place where you need ten people in uniform, just two in plain clothes would be enough. The cost goes up three times though
In short, they pay the top elites 15x compared to uniformed men.
The Yakuza gathering in the hotel has been causing trouble a couple of times, but we handle it before the hotel employees, or other customers become aware. And so, the Yakuza’s not coming out of the five floors I mentioned earlier. They’re not entering the lobby, restaurant, or the bar So they’re successful in containing the Yakuza?
Oh, the underground parking lot is an exception. Some Yakuza’s job is to meet others up
Huh?
Not all of the bosses witnessing the deal are present yet
Then that means;
Our line of cars heads to the lowest floor of the underground parking lot. The third floor.
And, I knew it, they’re here
I see some Yakuza in black clothes on the other side of the windshield.
There’s ten of them, obstructing our path.
Stop
Shou-neechan tells the other cars by radio.
Our cars stopped.
As said earlier, the second car will be on stand-by. As for the third car, take care of the rear
Fujimiya, Roger that
Margo, loud and clear
Then, Shou-neechan opened the door from the driver’s seat and went out.
Hey, you’re in the way
The men in black grinned.
Which boss you follow, Oodori-san or Satake-san?
Then, one of the men in black;
Huh? Hold, I’m telling you to stop
He sticks out his hand and lowers his waist to sit down. He’s opening his right hand for us to see.
His age is about 30 years old. His hair is cut short, and he’s wearing sunglasses.
I already am
Shou-neechan replies in amazement.
Oh, that’s a quick response from you. This man in front of you is a poor man, and so I’d like to ask for your patience. I believe that this is our first time meeting, lady. This man before you hail from Osaka’s Kawachi-Kokubu station, Tondabayashi. My job is to follow the young boss, the eighth Unryuu Kaizan Mori head. Last name Kazama, first name Tooru. My trade is to recruit beginners. That is all I have to say if you have anything to ask then feel free to do so What’s with that greeting?
That means that he’s Satake-san’s follower
Shou-neechan whispers to me in the car.
Then,
Then, Kazama takes the same waiting pose.
Thank you for your kind words. Forgive the late greetings. Before you, is a worker belonging to Kouzuki SS. Last name Seki, first name Shou. My job is to hire out the inexperienced. That is all, feel free to ask if you have questions She greets back to the other party in a loud voice.
Thank you
Thank you
The two glare at each other.
Hmm, who would’ve thought that a lady from a security company knows how to make a formal Yakuza greeting
Naturally, I’m paid a lot more than you do
The two get up.
Hey now, aren’t you getting a low salary? If you want, we can hire you. You’re quite the beauty after all
Kazuma speaks in a condescending attitude. Shou-neechan;
Unfortunately but I know how much you earn. Don’t try to show off. Your cheap suit gives it away
What did you say?
You shouldn’t look down on Kouzuki SS’ ability to investigate people. You’re just a leader of a small group under Satake-san’s organization. Indeed, the word immature suits you
What the hell did you say bitch?
Kazuma gets in a rage.
That means these ten people are Kazuma’s group.
And so, what do you need from us?
Shou-neechan smiles.
Oh, shut up. How about you hand over the ladies in the back of the second car?
As expected, their aim is Tsukiko and the two.
Hmm, and what happens after that?
i don’t know about that. That’s for the higher-ups to decide what’s next
So, do you think we’ll obediently hand them over?
Kazuma.
We’ve got ten people here though?
What about it?
Shou-neechan’s complexion doesn’t change in the slightest.
Do you know who I am?
how would I know?
Ah, I know this situation.
Shou-neechan is Jii-chan’s full-time bodyguard, she’s always with him on public locations.
You know, I’m quite strong. That’s unfortunate that you don’t know. But, you should know about the driver on the car behind me
Rei-chan’s in the driver seat of the Takakura sisters’ car.
Aniki, that’s
That’s a big problem!
You’re saying that we’re to fear her?
It’s impossible to fight that one!
The men in black around Kazuma tells him.
I know. I get it. Shut up. You want me to say Ugh, that’s Fujimiya Reika loudly, don’t you? But you see, we’ve got this job, and so we have to do this! The higher-ups gave us this mission
Kazuma gets angry at them.
Oh, I see. In short, you guys are just a messenger
Shou-neechan said.
I see. Some want to stop the deal today for whatever reason they can get and so you’re causing trouble with us. That’s what your boss thinks
I see.
They’d pick a fight, get beaten up by Rei-chan, and then plan to say that they were beaten up one-sidedly.
They don’t care about the reason.
Anyway, someone wants to mess things up and cancel the deal today.
The deal today shows that the members of Yakuza are accepting defeat to the Kouzuki house. I can understand why some can’t accept it. If so, they want to break the meeting today no matter how reckless it can be, am I wrong?
that’s not it!
Kazuma tries to deny it, but,
It’s okay. You don’t have to hide it, I already know. After all, it’s not just you
Shou-neechan smiles.
There’s a lot of similar events happening inside the hotel. Our people in Kouzuki SS are taking down people like you one after another. Well, it doesn’t look like everyone’s trying to crush down the meeting today though. After all, the people on the upper floors are stuck, and they’re feeling worked up The Yakuza in the hotel are being impatient?
