Chapter 030: Revisiting Old Friends (01)
The griffin was still so taciturn, he didn't say a word, and on the way back, he simply asked about Heavy Punch's injury, which was also a rare sign of his concern for others, maybe in this world, except for his family, there were not many people worthy of his concern, but it was certain that Heavy Punch and the ghost were among them......
"The injury is not serious, but it has been repeated a few times, you know that you can't be careful in this business, this is desperate, this injury is nothing." Heavy punch said.
"It's okay." The griffin didn't ask much.
"How's it going on your side? Anything out of the ordinary? Heavy Punch asked.
"Many, since we got involved with the 'Clock Tower', they haven't stopped harassing us, although it was a lot quieter after the last bombing of the headquarters building, but then we found out that the 'Clock Tower' seems to be retaliating against us through local gangs, and there are signs that some associations have begun to cooperate with them, and the purpose is very clear, that is, to create trouble, destroy our strength and image, and look for opportunities to replace our position." The griffon said.
"It's normal for the tree to be in the limelight, you guys are in the limelight here, there must be people who look at it, not to mention the people who play the club, who doesn't want to be a regional boss? You must be a thorn in the side of some people, eager to get rid of it quickly, here you call for wind and rain, do a good job, make a lot of money, and your political status is also significantly improved, and jealous people must be indispensable. The ghost said.
"Maybe we were too radical before, and we caused a lot of losses to the 'Clock Tower', so we were targeted by them, but this is our territory, and we don't care what chaos they make, and we can still hold it down." "As for the local gangs, even if they are ranked 2 or 5 together, it is impossible to shake our position, and the economic and political power of the communities is not comparable to theirs. ”
'Clock Tower' tried his best to deal with the ghost after he couldn't absorb the ghost as his main member, but he has not been able to succeed, although it has caused some losses, but overall it does not have much impact on the ghost, after all, he is a gang leader, and he has long been used to facing fights and killings all day long, plus' Clock Tower's can't make any big mess here, to be a modern city, there are a considerable number of military and police forces, to ensure the safety here, coupled with the intricate and complex relationship between the gangs, it is not so easy to pick out anything in it, not to mention that now the ghost has gradually gained a foothold in the gang, become a high-profile leader, and has begun to develop the relationship between the upper echelons through various means and channels, so as to further stabilize the status of the community in the local area, but also improve his social viability, in terms of public identity, he is the world-famous group president, young and promising, and has a keen political sense, the candidate for defense minister who was supported in the early stage has already taken office, and the relationship with the upper echelons is very harmonious, and sometimes there are opportunities to meet with the prime minister, which shows that his every move in the city has a huge influence, so even the upper echelons dare not ignore his existence.
"You two need to be careful, the 'Clock Tower' is likely to carry out assassinations, and if they can't shake your position here, they will definitely consider killing you as a wake-up call to others who don't want to cooperate with them." Heavy punch said.
"It's not so easy to move us here, we are no longer a simple society now, the team of ghosts has been expanded, and has been sent to complete different tasks around the world, but most of them are protecting overseas industries, and some of them have been put into actual combat for training, so we already have our own team, and there is no problem in self-preservation." The griffon said.
"We're here to hide this time, you have to be safe!" The ghost said.
"You don't have to worry about safety when you get here, and I will send you to the mansion of Mt. Fuji, and the ghost said that it will be used as your foothold in the future, and you can live with peace of mind when you come." Griffin said.
"My fishpond is still there?" The ghost asked tentatively.
"It's still there, it's been reprocessed, and the ghost has ordered someone to add all kinds of seafood to it, enough for you to eat for a few days." Griffin said.
"This guy really knows each other and knows what I like to eat, not bad." The ghost said with satisfaction.
"It's home." The griffin turned around and got off the road, "The ghost is a bit busy today, and may not be able to see you in the evening. ”
"What's more important than my brother coming?" The ghost was a little upset when he heard that the ghost did not show up.
"A senior official of the Ministry of Defense has something to ask him for, involving an attack on the 'Clock Tower' here in the early stage." Griffin said.
You can hear the ghost of the 'clock tower' and they are in a lot of trouble, and it seems that the situation here is really not as good as they expected.
When he arrived at the mansion, he saw the ghost standing at the door from a distance, and on both sides of the road were blue and blue club members in black suits, standing respectfully, and the scene was greeted by a gangster atmosphere.
"Isn't there something going on?" After getting out of the car, he punched Yu Ling and asked.
"Nothing is more important than you coming?" The ghost nodded, "Let's go, let's go inside." ”
Ghosts are never too polite, but they are never bad in action.
Not long after arriving inside, someone brought all kinds of dishes, the ghost frowned, and immediately someone retreated, and soon put a big hot pot on the table, the ghost, then nodded, and asked someone to bring everything up, and then all withdrew, forbidden to disturb.
"Eating hot pot with the wind, this is also chic." The ghost began to drool except for his left hand.
"There are also some dishes you usually like to eat, feel free!" The ghost waved his hand and motioned for them to eat.
"You're still very careful." Worm saw that there were duck tongues and duck intestines on the table, some of her favorite ingredients.
"I asked my subordinates to pay attention to your personal preferences, and in addition, this place has been remodeled according to your habits, the beds and living rooms are different from before, and the structure of the swimming pool, fish pond and yard outside has also been adjusted somewhat, so I will give it to you as a retreat." The ghost said as he ate.
"This house is not cheap, you just gave it away, generous enough." The ghost gave a thumbs up as he ate.
"It's nothing, what is money? Isn't what you earn is what you spend? If you want to settle here, I can give you a house each. The ghost said.
"Hit me with money? Although not as tycoon as you, buying a house is not a problem. The punch waved his hand.
"He meant that you don't have to worry about these things, he will arrange everything, just like going home." Gryphon explained that he knew better that the ghost could not really express himself in certain situations, although the ghost was not a taciturn person, but in some cases he could not really express his emotions, for him the griffin and the heavy fist are brothers, brothers of the same status as the family, although they are no longer on the same team, but this emotion is still there, if the ghost does not fancy the brotherhood between them, he will not hold a grudge for the heavy fist to hide his identity from him, but this is all in the pastThey are now like brothers, except that they don't see each other often.
"Well, I understand, but I still don't like this, and if it weren't for you here, I wouldn't be back." Heavy punch said.
"Actually, it's pretty good, it's good to come and relax if you have nothing to do." Worm said.
"The degree of modernization here is one of the best in the world, but unfortunately we don't like this place, although our family is here, but in essence I prefer to live in the jungle, but my wife and children can't follow me to wander." The ghost shadow actually said such a thing, in fact, he has not forgotten the life of wandering in the jungle in his bones, and everyone knows that the wandering he is talking about now and the state of the year are definitely not the same thing, but he still yearns for the freedom in the jungle, although he is now worry-free about food and clothing, high up, money is just a number to him, and he controls the life and death of a gang in his hands, and he is really not so free in the wandering life in the past, there are endless things to deal with every day, and there are all kinds of entertainment, despite the assistance of griffins, But deep down, he really shouldn't dislike this kind of life, but he is very good at dealing with these things, but this is completely different from daring to be interested.
"Did the 'Clock Tower' thing get you into trouble, and those defense ministers were suspicious of you?" Heavy Punch asked.
"Small problem, I'm just a partner here of the 'Clock Tower' who wants to use their power to further suppress them, those people are also our opponents, and we must eliminate the enemies of the community." The ghost said that he had already planned for himself.
"You should understand that for those in power, there needs to be some gray areas, although the spiritual power of various forces will have instability factors, but they can also check and balance each other, a monopoly is not a good thing for their officials, but it may be dangerous, you better not make too much of it, if there is only one monopoly left in the whole of Kyoto, I don't think they will be too happy, you should not have this problem, in addition, the reason why the official is looking for you to cooperate now is because they are afraid of you, or because you have become the only person available here, Does the seductress really have a good relationship with you? Heavy punch reminded.
The ghost frowned, "This question...... I've thought about it, the problem of a dominant family is really worth noting, I understand the reason for making a big move, but I never thought about whether their attitude has anything to do with my strength, if there is really such a reason, we really need to pay attention to it. ”
"For the state apparatus, no matter how powerful the gang is, it is impossible to form a real threat, it is a big deal to eliminate it when there is a threat again, in front of them all the associations are just a small trick, for them, some of the things you have in your hands will have a certain threatening effect on them, such as their black photos and the gang in your hands are enough to pose a threat to the city, of course, they are probably not enough to think that you will really become a threat, being polite to you is just a means to win over you, He doesn't need the support of powerful people like you, whether it is economic strength or community strength, there is absolutely no one who can match you here, to put it mildly, they are likely to use you, but to put it bluntly, this is just using each other, you borrow their rights, he uses your strength, that's it. "The griffon seems to have seen it all quite thoroughly.
Heavy Punch nodded: "Well, with you, I don't have to worry about this." ”
"I'm just helping, and it's mostly up to him." The griffin pointed at the ghost, "Much more shrewd than you might expect, he's still very good at scheming, so don't worry too much, but you know it all." ”
Heavy Punch just nodded, he understood what it meant to stop in moderation, proper reminders were enough, there was no need to get involved too much, although their relationship was good, but it was better not to get too involved in these issues.
"I asked someone to sort out some new information about the 'clock tower', which you can use as a reference." The ghost said, "This is what we have collected here, there may be duplication with you, but there should be some content that you can't find, they seem to have a secret base in Kyushu, where the Kawada family is the industry, the Kawada Group is strong, it is the largest private company in the region, some of their industries and financial enterprises have deep cooperation, I think the 'Clock Tower' may cooperate with it for this reason." ”
"It's no secret that they have secret bases everywhere." "It's so close to your place, it seems that they didn't take you seriously, what are you going to do?" "The ghost shadow came to say this, which is clearly a bit agitated.
"We have to make a long-term plan for this matter, and we plan to raise it to see if we can gain more." The griffon said.
"That's a way to go." Heavy Fist nodded, "This is your territory, of course you have the final say, but be more careful, these guys are very cunning, the tiger fish is likely to have become one of them, this old guy can do everything, you have to be careful." ”
"I got it." The ghost said as he ate, "What the hell does this old guy want to do?" ”
"I told him about the tiger fish." The griffon said.
"I can't say the specifics, but from the information we have obtained, it seems that he still has some rights in it." Heavy punch shook his head.
"Regardless of why he joined the Clock Tower, it's not good news for us, this guy has always been unfriendly to us and is likely to cause some kind of mess." The ghost said, "Be mentally prepared for this." ”
"Of course, it's just that this guy is cunning, and I'm afraid I can't guard against it." Heavy punches are still a little worried.
"At least you don't have to worry too much about this, I can still guarantee your safety, eat! Let's not talk about these for now, by the way, your wife and children came over two days ago. "It's a pity you're not here, my wife went out with them, stayed for a week and then went back." ”
"Oh...... I'm sorry for you. Heavy Punch said lightly.
