Chapter 15: You Have a Son
Ginza, the center of Tokyo's most prosperous business district. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is home to the largest group of companies in the Toyo region, including most of the overseas group headquarters. For example, the headquarters of Stark Industries is located in Ginza.
Perhaps it was the decision to go against Stark Industries, and Norman Osborne avoided the Tokyo business district when he set up the Toyo branch. Instead, turn to the center of Kansai in the East, Hanshinkyo business circle, both Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto.
The high-rise buildings in Ginza are lined up one after another. Sanyo, Sony, Toyo Bank, and other major Toyo groups have set up offices here.
There is a special building in Ginza that stands out from the modern buildings that surround it.
It is a snow-white Japanese-style castle built in perfect imitation of the famous Azuchi Castle in the East (the castle where Oda Nobunaga lived). The blue tiles and white walls stand out on the modern streets.
The castle covers a large area, and the castle is surrounded by Japanese-style walls that are modeled after those built during the Warring States period. Inside the walls is a huge courtyard. There's even a hand-dug hot spring inside.
On the left side of the castle is a 50-story building, which is not at all conspicuous in the high-rise Ginza, if it were not for the Japanese-style castle next to it.
In Ginza, where every inch of land is at a premium, this huge footprint is extravagant. And all the people who work near Ginza have consciously or unconsciously retreated from the building.
In addition to the building next to the castle, the other buildings closest to the Japanese castle are also hundreds of meters away. It's as if this beautiful snow-white castle is a pathogen.
Of course, the building itself is not a cause for fear, and it does not spread disease. What really scares the surrounding businesses is the sign erected on the castle.
Five hundred years ago, during the Warring States period, daimyo would put their own emblems on their domains, and this sign of swearing sovereignty was called a family crest. There are very few families in the modern Toyo that still retain this tradition.
And now the family crest that the Oriental people fear the most is erected here. A sign that looks like a traditional Japanese building, a bridge. And the owner of this family crest is none other than the Shida family.
The underground leader of this Kanto region, the underground ruler who rules one-half of the East in the dark night.
Bounded by Nagoya, Tewakai used to govern the area west of Nagoya, while Shishida ruled the area east of Nagoya.
Unlike Tewakai, a global killer organization, the Shishida Foundation is very low-key internationally. He rarely touches his tentacles with forces outside the Orient.
They concentrate on the management of the Orient and make the management of their territory impregnable. It is also because of this business strategy of concentrating on one place that the influence of the Shishida Foundation on Toyo is greater than that of Tewakai.
After all, the Tewakai is an illegal organization, and Shida has a more official identity in many cases. This gives them a lot of help in politics as well.
Except for people inside the Shishida Foundation, most people have never entered the building of the Shishida Foundation, and few people are willing to enter even for business meetings.
This has also led to various legends about the Shishida Foundation Building. For example, there is an army in captivity of the Shishida Foundation, which is more advanced than the Self-Defense Forces.
The list goes on and on. Groundless winds may not be without cause. In the Yashida Foundation Building, there is indeed a group of thugs who are captive in the Truth Son.
In fact, it is not impossible to call it an army, except that there are not so many people. They are all equipped with a variety of advanced weapons.
And among them are a considerable part of the weapons of the Osborne group. If Li Jie and others were here, they would be surprised to find out. The Osborne Group has reduced some of the costs of the Green Goblin armor technology and improved the production of mass-produced outer armor sets, and there are at least more than 100 of them here.
This set of power armor, named "Elf" armor, is capable of providing the wearer with an additional 700 kilograms of weight. And run at speeds of up to thirty-five kilometers per hour.
It is effective against 12.7 mm and below bullets (non-Ugin armor-piercing, depleted uranium armor-piercing). It also has an auxiliary targeting system, as well as a life support system and an infrared thermal imaging detection system in special operations.
This set of armor is a real military equipment, and the Osborne Group only exports to the state, not to any private individuals. Because everyone knows very well how powerful this armor can be when equipped in batches and sequences.
In addition to the U.S. military began to purchase a large number of this armor, many other countries have also purchased a batch of this armor. This includes the Toyo.
However, there were only 200 elven armors purchased by Toyo in advance, and now 100 have appeared in the Shishida Foundation, which reflects the terrible control of this consortium over Toyo.
And the head of this consortium, Mariko Shida, answered a call from Eiji Yasuda in his office in the building.
"Kill that Jason. Mariko was silent. "It's a good idea to get rid of him if you can. But he was always by Harry Osborne's side. Hurting Harry Osborne by mistake wasn't what I was hoping for. ”
"If you can lure him away alone, then it works. "Mariko really has no objection to killing Li Jie, because she had already found out in the last brief contact.
Li Jie had a lot of influence on Harry. And this influence affects Harry's decision-making. Importantly, Li Jie appears to be wary of working with the Shishida Foundation. And its attitude of being old and not like a young person, these are all obstacles.
She needed the R&D power of the Osborne Group, because that child had a lot of potential. Her grandfather was once frantically trying to transfer Logan's self-healing factor to himself.
In Mariko's view, that is a way to abandon the basics. Fishing is never the best option. In addition to her own immortality, Mariko is well aware of the usefulness of children with Logan's genes.
He will be an important bargaining chip in his hands. Mariko believes that she can completely control the child. Because as the mother of this child, she knows this child too well.
Just as Chairman Yasuda was talking to Mariko, he was far away at the international airport in Osaka. Logan has already bought his ticket and is ready to fly back to the United States.
This nostalgic trip to the East is a bit sad. This also made this wolf even more lonely and lonely. In the departure hall, he tried to smoke a cigarette, but was soon stopped by an Oriental man sitting next to him.
This Oriental man speaks standard American English and has no Oriental accent at all. "Sir, smoking is not allowed here. ”
Logan glanced at the man, who was a standard Oriental man in his looks, holding an English magazine in his hand. The only person who can't be recognized in the crowd is his English.
Maybe he's an expatriate salesman in the U.S. or something similar. Logan thought about it for a while, and put the cigarette back at the same time. Rogan barely saluted except for a few changes of clothes in a small backpack.
This made him a little glaring in the departure hall.
"Feeling a little bored?" said the Oriental man, looking at Logan sitting there bored, and stepped forward to talk.
But Logan ignored his desire at all, just glanced at him with his eyes, then shook his head and didn't answer.
"Okay, I think you might need this, I'm about to board the plane. This book is for you. The Oriental man didn't care about Logan's attitude, but smiled and put the English magazine in his hand on Logan's knee.
Then he glanced at his watch, and it looked like it was indeed time to board the plane, and then left here in a hurry.
It's like an ordinary airport encounter, a friendly pick-up from a stranger. There was no alarm on the part of Logan or anyone.
Maybe it was because of the long waiting time for the plane, and Logan did feel very bored. Anyway, he picked up the English magazine that the man had given him.
Well, it's a magazine about Hollywood movies. On the cover is the news of the release of "The Lego Night Stalker Movie". Logan pursed his lips and flipped through the magazine.
He wasn't very interested in Hollywood gossip and movies. I opened the magazine just because he was bored and wanted to find something to do.
While flipping the pages quickly, a postcard sandwiched in a magazine caught Logan's attention.
On the back of the postcard with the cherry blossom pattern was written a small paragraph, almost so that he almost lost his voice: You have a son, Logan.
