Location: Toyo, Osaka suburb Tewakai Castle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Time: April 20, 11 a.m.

The castle of the Tewakai, as well as most of the strongholds in the Kansai region, were uprooted by the Innocence Society during this time.

Of course, as a global killer organization, Tewakai's stronghold is certainly not limited to the Toyo region. Just as they have a branch office in New York, they also have their own strongholds in Europe.

However, the Toyo area has always been run by them as a base camp. However, the headquarters in the Toyo region did suffer a heavy blow this time. Most of the stalwarts were taken away by Kim.

This made the Innocence Society of the Rock Organization, the great disciple of the stick, conquer one after another Tewakai strongholds in the Oriental region along the way. Especially those peripheral underground organizations that have been transfusing blood for the hand and the economy.

In a short period of time, the entire Kansai region of Toyo seemed to have changed. The entire underground order was completely shattered and reorganized.

But that's a good thing, because innocence is a relatively gentle society. Although it is difficult to define whether the Innocence Society is considered an underworld organization, at least the disciples cultivated by the stick are relatively mild.

Compared with the fact that before the hand-to-hand meeting, it was completely dependent on killing and forceful means to unify those peripheral organizations, and innocence would be much more tender, of course, this is also in contrast.

Since Li Jie and the others went to hell, the rock has been stationed in this castle for a long time. At the same time, four of Kamataki's mages have also been guarding the entrance to hell.

"Everyone's done a great job. As always, Rock himself came to the place where the mages were stationed with his lunch.

Rock pushed open the basement door as usual and said a pleasant greeting. But no mage has time to deal with him today.

Because through the special magic stone, Arashi has already sent a signal to them. Ask them to build a spatial door on this side of the world. After all, they are not the Ancient One, and they do not have the ability to directly span the two dimensions.

There must be a fulcrum between the two different dimensions in order to build a bridge between the two worlds.

"Rock, let people guard this place. They're coming back. "In the gap between the erection of the fulcrum of the Oriental side, one of the mages spoke to the rock.

At the same time, in Toyo Kyoto, a group of executives of the Osborne Group (Toyo) were gathering at an upscale restaurant in this ancient capital with a history of thousands of years.

Kyoto is one of the oldest cities in the Orient, and it is also a cultural center of the Orient. According to the structure of Chang'an Castle 1,000 years ago, Kyoto also has a very similar structure of the city, and a straight road similar to Suzaku Street.

Although it has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, in some casual corners, you can still find the charm of the city thousands of years ago.

Kyoto's most famous attraction is probably Kinkaku-ji, although today's Kinkaku-ji Temple is very different from the historic Kinkaku-ji Temple. This is because in the protection of oriental cultural relics, the principle of repairing the old as new is used more broadly.

As a result, Kinkaku-ji Temple and most of the ancient Oriental buildings and castles have been extensively renovated with modern techniques and materials. Many times some of the attractions see the so-called monuments and antiquities, although they look beautiful, even shining. The onlookers who don't know why they admired how well the thousand-year-old monument was preserved.

But they may not know that what they see may have been built and renovated in the last two or three decades. Most of the materials used in it are from modern materials.

This is very different from China, which is separated by a body of water. In the protection of ancient Chinese cultural relics, the rule of repairing the old as the new is seriously rejected, and repairing the old as the old is the principle of protecting Chinese cultural relics.

Broken artifacts are not allowed to be rebuilt without the original fragments. If it is necessary to make up for it, only the most original embryonic color can be maintained. Chasing color and coloring are distressed to the point of being close to the real in the fake, which is a creative restoration in China. There are no special requirements that do not allow conservators to do so.

Things like repainting and painting are even more avoidable, and it's best not to do anything that is suspected of being a creative restoration.

To restore Song Dynasty paintings, Song Dynasty paper should be used. There are so many rules like that. It also makes many of China's monuments and artifacts look dirty and old. There are not even any signs of restoration.

The two countries share the same culture, but in many places there are very different differences. It is also because of this disagreement that the values of the people of the two countries are paradoxical.

And this difference can be seen in the group of executives who meet in the dining booth. This is a restaurant called Sakura, a house with a traditional Japanese-style garden.

Sitting on the corridor under the roof, you can see the appearance of Kinkakuji Temple from afar. If the weather is fine, the reflection of sunlight can make the restored Kinkakuji Temple shine brightly.

This is one of Kyoto's premier high-end dining pavilions, and only a handful of guests are welcomed each month.

Today, the restaurant was booked by executives from the Osborne Group (Toyo). In the room with the best view of the season, the room with a view of Kinkakuji Temple, four men are sitting on their knees in a traditional Japanese style, eating kaiseki cuisine and talking in whispers.

"Did you hear that? Kinoshita-kun is going to be fired. The one who opened his mouth to talk about work gossip was a middle-aged man about fifty years old and a little depressed.

Perhaps it was the long hours of overtime in his youth that caused his endocrine disorders, leaving his skin to look rough, oily, and enlarged. Even now in a high position, it seems that there is no adjustment.

"I heard that because I gave Mr. Harry a plate of sushi in the evening, it didn't match Mr. Harry's appetite? He has worked at the Osaka Hotel for twenty years. The person who took over the conversation was another man who had a bit of a snarky look and looked like a mean boss that is common in the workplace.

"Mr. Harry didn't seem happy with anything when he came to Toyo. We've worked so hard, all the employees are working diligently, working overtime day and night, I don't understand what he's not satisfied with. At the same time, he joined in the complaint of a man who seemed to be more kind, and could occasionally be seen in the workplace, and was a bit like a good old man.

"Maybe we're not trying hard enough. "Sitting at the top is a man with gray hair, but he is in good spirits and looks very graceful.

"Chairman Yasuda, we can't go on like this. Although Mr. Harry said that he was traveling to various parts of the Toyo in the past few days, he temporarily put down the supervision of the Toyo Branch. But the outcome of our last meeting, I heard that Mr. Harry was very dissatisfied. I've even heard that there are people around him who are agitating for him to carry out a major change of blood in our Toyo Division. The snarky man said to the chairman of the board of directors at the top.

"Yes, Chairman. We can't just sit idly by. The words of a son of heaven and a courtier are not words. Mr. Norman died, and Mr. Harry took the throne. As the head office in Asia, he will definitely step in and arrange for someone he trusts to manage the company. We have to do something to make him understand the necessity of our existence. The middle-aged Xie Dingman with endocrine disorder said.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid we will be swept away like Kinoshita-kun, because of a little mistake. ”

And the man who looked like a good old man on the side also kept nodding in agreement.

Chairman Yasuda took a bite of Haruna (a vegetable made in accordance with the season) with his chopsticks, and he savored the sweet and bitter taste of the vegetables. It wasn't until the food was chewed down and swallowed that he spoke.

"Kinoshita-kun hasn't been expelled yet, those are just rumors. And do you want to make trouble? It's not the Warring States era, and there are no rules for restraint. ”

"It's always right to plan ahead, Chairman Yasuda. The snarky man continued to agitate. "If you want Mr. Harry to continue to hand over the power of Toyo to you, Chairman Yasuda, then you need to make him understand your indispensability. ”

"I've been with this company for forty years. Chairman Yasuda said unhurriedly.

But Americans, especially young Americans, don't care about that. Take a look at Zuckerberg (founder and CEO of Facebook) to understand the concept of young entrepreneurs in the United States today. This sentence of the man who thanked him hit Chairman Yasuda a little bit.

The snarky man understood that Chairman Yasuda was a little shaken, so he stepped up his words. "We still have chips that make us valuable. ”

"What chips?" said Chairman Yasuda, taking a sip of sake, and asked in a low voice.

"Shishida Foundation!"

"No, Mr. Harry had already turned down too much of a meeting with the Shida Foundation before leaving. Chairman Yasuda shook his head.

"It's not Chairman Yasuda, that's because Mr. Harry doesn't understand what Mariko Shishida has in her hands. If he understood, he wouldn't have refused. The snarky man whispered softly in Chairman Yasuda's ear, as if he was talking about something quickly.

Chairman Yasuda's face was a little uncertain. "Are you sure?"

"Chairman of the Board, the most important development direction of the Osborne Group is the field of limb regeneration, as well as other medical fields that have expanded with this field as the core. Compared to Mr. Harry, he will definitely be tempted. ”

The reason why Mr. Harry rejected the Shishida Foundation was because the foundation had a certain underworld background. But when it comes to business, Miss Mariko has always been very reputable, and didn't you help her back then, chairman? ”

"Ahem. Chairman Yasuda coughed twice, interrupting the snarky man's speech.

The man quickly realized that he had said something, so he turned back. "Anyway, if you take the lead in this matter and arrange a meeting for Miss Mariko, you will definitely be able to convince Mr. Harry. In the future, the intermediate harmony and lubrication between the two groups will be inseparable from you, Chairman Yasuda. ”

Yasuda thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded. "Then do it, wait until Mr. Harry returns. I'll find a way to arrange a meeting for him. ”

"Wise decision, Chairman Yasuda, please let me pour you sake. The snarky man immediately slapped a sycophant.

Well, maybe they really didn't understand how the hotel manager who delivered cold sushi to Harry in the middle of the night was hated by Harry and even wanted to fire him.
