Act Twenty-Four: Noda-gumi's Shou
"Oops, oops, I'm so sorry I'm coming." Lu Mingfei hurriedly took the plate containing the coffee cup and looked at him gratefully.
"Aligado! Gooffee!」 Caesar smiled and raised the coffee cup at the girl, anyway, he really couldn't understand his Chinese, but for a son like him, he would never show disdain for the common people coffee in front of the common people girl who made cheap instant coffee.
Lu Mingfei smiled gently, well, what should I say, what he saw in front of him really made him feel like he was back in high school, although he had little contact in his previous life, and he didn't have the opportunity to know her age, but he could see that she was a very young girl, wearing orthodontic braces and black-framed glasses, her long hair was combed into a neat ponytail, pinned to a coral red hairpin, and there were no other decorations on her body.
Sakura doesn't have any ornaments on her body either, but Sakura is different from Shin, Sakura deliberately doesn't use any ornaments so as not to attract attention, and she is really a girl who hasn't had time to decorate yet, and in the future she will wear glittering necklaces, rings, and watches to become blingbling, but at the moment she only smells of paper, coffee, cotton, and wool vests......
Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart that he was old or something, thinking about it, he was indeed old, according to his real age, he didn't know how many years he had lived.
Then he found that his real eyes were fixed on Caesar's handsome face.
"Ahem...... Let's get down to business, Miss Zhen." Lu Mingfei reminded.
"Ah, oh, yes, it's time to get down to business, sorry......" Shin immediately retracted his gaze from staring at Caesar and bowed ninety degrees to the crowd.
She really can't be blamed for this, she has never seen such a handsome foreign man, and it really ...... is so handsome, just like Prince Charming in those idol dramas on TV......
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, it's good to drink common people's coffee here." Caesar said, waving her hand to signal the girl not to be too nervous, "Although the taste is thin and the sugar is too much, it is quite relaxing to drink common people's coffee and chat on a rainy day."
"We're here to solve Miss Zhen's problems, not to drink coffee." Genjisheng said it in Japanese.
The coffee in front of him was placed, and he didn't mean to look down on this cheap instant coffee, but he simply didn't have the habit of drinking coffee.
"I'm really embarrassed to let everyone in my family run for such a trivial thing as mine...... I really don't know what to do."
"Well, you say." Gen looked at Sakura, Sakura nodded, took out a pen and paper and began to record.
"Here's the thing, this shop was sold by the original owner and turned into a toy store, and about a few weeks ago, I came here to work, and the gang on the street said that this shop used to pay them protection money, and now they have to continue to pay it, and if they don't, they will smash the store."
"I paid it before, and I will continue to pay it now." Caesar said.
"Really...... Why don't you eat minced meat?" "Because the rate has gone up, right?"
"That's right, they said it was 15 percent, and the shopkeeper didn't care about it, I was always left alone to face the gangsters."
"As far as I know, you're the only one on this street that reflects the increase in protection fees." Sakura said, "If it's a large-scale rise, we'll deal with it, but the fact at the moment is that your store has gone up."
"Did you do something to provoke them?" Sakura stared at Aso, "This street should belong to the Kabukicho gang Nakanoda-gumi, and that gang has never done anything out of the ordinary."
"Ah...... How could it be...... I've never done anything before......" Aso was really scared by these words, she was just an ordinary dropout high school student, and she was praised by the teacher for the reason of keeping to herself in school, how could she do something that was related to the gangsters.
"Yes." Sakura gave her a cold look.
Aso Zhen hurriedly lowered his head, this woman is too aggressive.
"Miss Sakura, don't embarrass a girl." Caesar spoke up for her, "What the hell is going on, just ask that little thug when he comes, this girl doesn't look like a mess."
"Then do as Mr. Caesar says." Sakura retracts her momentum,
Take a step back and stand sideways beside Gen Zhisheng, just like she had always done.
She is like a transparent person when she is not revealed, always standing beside Gen Zhisheng with her head down.
So a whole bunch of people in this toy store started doing their own thing.
At 7:30 a.m., Noda Shou came over on time with a baseball bat.
He first looked to the right, and at the counter, Aso was really doing the accounts.
In fact, she was pretending to be accountant, because she really didn't know what to do, and she couldn't talk to the big names in her family.
"You're still on duty tonight." He greeted him as if he were an acquaintance.
"Huan...... Welcome."
Noda wanted to smile and say something like "good evening" or "how was your day?" when she took a step around her neck when she grabbed one of her arms.
"That's it, right?" Caesar said, half-pulling and half-dragging Noda Shou to the coffee table and sitting down.
"No...... That's right."
"This ...... Well...... What do you call it?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.
"Noda-gumi's Kotobuki!" Noda Shou said loudly, as if he wanted to give himself courage, and he couldn't help but panic a little when he looked at the pile of black people on the opposite side of the coffee table.
However, the thought that he was a member of the Noda group made his momentum rise again.
The Noda gumi are not very large in the Kabukicho gang, but they are known for their bravery, and Noda Shou grew up watching his brothers with beetle snakes embroidered on the cuffs haunt the streets, and the flow of people naturally made way for them wherever they went, and their backs were as hard as reefs in a big river.
Noda Shou felt that the most heroic man in the world was a man who mixed with the underworld, so he dropped out of school to follow Kozo, the leader of the Noda group, and Kozo was his cousin. Kosan admires his cousin's ambition very much, and hands over all seven stores on his own territory to his cousin to take care of, and the work is not complicated, that is, to collect protection money.
From that day on, when they saw Noda Shou's long white trench coat, the shopkeepers would bow deeply and say, "You are here, please take care of you, and the business has grown recently, and the conservation money will be sent to Noda Shou's apartment every month without being asked."
Former classmates all have Tian Shou as a backer.,Often introduce the cutest girl in the class to know Noda Shou.,Some people say that Kozo intends to stop Noda Shou from taking over the Noda Group.,Because I think my cousin is so bold at a young age.。
But as the saying goes, men are destined to go the way of the district, and the original one of the seven stores that sold sex toys suddenly closed down, so Noda Shou's territory suddenly shrank to six stores, and the amount of protection money shrank.
The new entry is a toy store, and the owner actually refuses to pay protection money, on the grounds that the toy store has limited profits, and it is still operating at a loss when it is newly opened, and he has never heard that a store that does business with children also has to pay protection money.
Determined to take advantage of the opportunity, Noda Shou raised the store's protection fee by 15 percent, and threatened to smash the store if he didn't pay the protection fee, so that the owner would know the cost of being rude to Nodagumi.
But it's a girl who looks at the store.,It's the principle of Noda Shou to never shoot at a girl.,He likes manga.,In the world of manga.,A man who holds the handle of a knife can live in the world with dignity.。
And the strong will not make a move on the girl, and he Noda Shou is also considered a strong man.
Showing the identity of the underworld, this group of people shouldn't be able to do anything to themselves, right...... He thought.
Then he caught sight of the inside of the shirt of the man who looked like the leader sitting in the middle of the couch, the cyan Yaksha tearing the demon's body apart.
Caesar threw Dick Tudo on the table, "The young master of this family came forward in person, and you still drove all the way over, you are very honored."
A black trench coat lined with images of ghosts and gods, Noda Shou had heard of these people...... The law enforcer of this family!
On the first day he entered the Noda group, Brother Heaven told him that the yakuza is to have the ambition to not be afraid of heaven and earth, and even the police don't need to pay attention to it, but there is a type of person who must not be provoked...... Law enforcement from this family!
He was shocked, he didn't dare to speak at all, he hadn't figured out what was going on, but he could see the murder weapon in the other party's hand very clearly, the black hunting knife was as fierce as a leopard's teeth, and there were sharp serrations on the back.
He didn't expect things
It's going to be so big that he just threatens a few words in words, and he doesn't really want to increase the protection fee, as long as the shopkeeper grovels and says a few good words, Noda Shou will have a step down, and if he really can't take it, he can still make up for it when he makes money in the store.
I didn't expect this kind of thing to alarm the law enforcement officers of my family, and five people were dispatched at one time, and there was a yellow-haired and blue-eyed one among the five people! Could it be a foreign mercenary hired by the family?
All kinds of horror exploded in Noda Shou's mind, and he couldn't understand the words of the foreign mercenary at all, only that it must be a fierce threat.
"Your name." Caesar shook his shoulders and pulled open the placket of his suit, deliberately revealing the Yaksha ogre on the lining, looked at Noda Shou coldly, and condescendingly suppressed him with his gaze.
This gorgeous decoration made him very involved in the role, and he now felt that he was also a character in the Japanese underworld.
Sakura acted as a translator, and the original local translation was given to Noda Shou.
"Boss, don't be sick." Lu Mingfei reminded him in a low voice.
Yuan Zhisheng said in his heart, you are basically born in the same period as the second disease, so the eldest brother will not talk about the second brother, okay? He didn't bother to bother with such trivial matters, and got up and walked along the container, his eyes sweeping over the plastic Luffy, Sasuke, and Haruhi Suzumiya, as well as the one-man tall GUNPLA in the corner.
Since Sakura is acting as a translator, he has nothing to worry about, even if Caesar and Lu Mingfei talk nonsense, Sakura will translate it into normal words, and Noda Shou, a little gangster who manages several stores to collect protection money, is completely out of the stream, and there is no standard process for dealing with this kind of person for the family, which is to scare things.
"Noda Gumi, Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo...... The future third generation of Noda Shou is now following the second generation of Noda Kozo to do things......" Noda Shou hung his head in frustration.
"Needless to say, it looks like some famous underworld in Shinjuku City, I remember that the Noda Group was originally in charge of unclogging the sewer pipes in Shinjuku City, and after the new drainage system was built, you collected protection money on the street without anything to do, right?" Sakura said coldly, "You little gang will not rank in your own family, so you dare to raise the rate of protection fees?"
"This shop used to pay protection money to the group, but now it doesn't pay when the owner changes," Noda Shou felt like he was being questioned by the police, "The increase in the rate or something is just talking, just follow the previous rules, everyone is a man who talks about the rules."
"I've never heard of a toy store charging protection money." Sakura said, "Also, I'm a woman."
"There's not much difference between a toy store and a sex toy store...... Anyway, it's all about selling fun stuff......" Noda Shou whispered.
"Still talking?" Sakura slapped the table.
Then Caesar grabbed Dick Tudo on the table with his backhand, and the pitch-black blade flashed like lightning, and the sharp inch stopped in front of Noda Shou's neck in the blink of an eye.
Although he couldn't understand what the two were saying, Sakura slapped the table, so he must not be able to talk.
For things that can't be discussed, his solution is to use Dick to solve more, at least to solve the person who proposed the matter.
The throat rolled involuntarily, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from the corners of Noda Shou's forehead, the law enforcer was really a ruthless character like a fierce god, and the knife he used seemed to be extremely sharp, and the moment the blade slashed his throat, his life should be over, and his dream of becoming a heroic man should be over......
Now that he finally realized how naïve he was, it was no wonder that the yakuza men in Kabukicho were reluctant to mention the cadres of their own family, and compared to such a ruthless death, he was indeed a child who had not grown up, and he was ridiculously naïve.
"Please don't use your sword, Mr. Caesar." Sakura said, "It's not time to use the knife yet."
"Okay."
Caesar withdrew his sword and continued to threaten Noda Shou with his gaze condescendingly.
"Boss, this is completely into the role......" Lu Mingfei smiled awkwardly.
"How old are you?" Sakura asked.
"Born on May 4 in the 6th year of Heisei, Gemini, a dog."
"Not like a Gemini." Natsumi suddenly interjected, "It's like a dead Cancer."
Sakura hesitated for a moment and translated.
"The ascendant sign is Cancer, and Venus also falls in Cancer, which is indeed Cancer-biased
Gemini." Noda Shou didn't know why the cadres of his family also studied the constellations so much.
He's a member of the Constellation Society in the country.,When asked about his age, it's more pleasing to girls.,So I usually report my age like this.,Just now I was just too nervous and involuntarily said Gemini and dogs.。
Sakura really didn't want this boring conversation to continue, so she turned to Shin, "Let's confirm, you complained to the family that the Noda gumi not only collected protection fees from the toy store but also raised the rate without authorization?"
"Yes," Shin whispered, "the store manager said that the store was still operating at a loss when it first opened, and that the toy store didn't make enough money to pay protection money, so if you can't get rid of the gangsters, you can just close the store."
"I didn't want to lose my job because I wouldn't be able to make money to go to university...... So I took the liberty of calling for help."
"It's not a trivial matter like that...... is non-negotiable," Noda said.
Sakura's cuffs slid out of the short knife, and she stuck the short knife on the back of Noda Shou's neck, "You won't be able to negotiate when the people of this family come. I don't think you know how serious the mistake you have made is that the conservation fee rate is fixed in this street and even in Kabukicho and in the entire Shinjuku area."
"No one on this street dares to raise the rate, and the people who have mentioned it have died, and the family does not allow this kind of thing to affect the prosperity of this street, so it is usually dealt with in the most severe way, and all in all, this matter can be very big."
"The usual treatment we use is to pour cement piles and bury them under Tokyo Bay."
"Hey...... Who said you didn't need to use a knife?" Lu Mingfei complained, "Even now I'm going to pour people's piles."
