Chapter 13: The Origins of the Underworld

"Alas, I can't imagine that everyone had a hard time when they were young," Lu Mingfei drank the sake in one gulp, a little drunk, "When I was just in junior high school, my father and mother came out, and now I am in the second year of college, and they didn't say that they came back to see me, sometimes I also wonder, is it that the two of them have been separated, secretly hiding abroad and not telling me, otherwise our family is just such a single seedling, why won't I be left at my uncle's house?"

"I thought the four of us had nothing in common, and I didn't think we would have a common topic on parental issues," Caesar said with a toast on his face, "I think I can join your parents' death group too."

Chu Zihang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he didn't want to deal with this drunken bastard.

"Hey, it's been a bit over the time when both parents died, right? It's just that my parents are not very reliable, and they are still alive and kicking around somewhere in the world! Senior brother's wife is also alive! Boss, don't you still have a playboy daddy bouncing around?" Lu Mingfei said.

"I've been dead for years." Caesar shrugged.

Yuan Zhisheng noticed that the corners of Chu Zihang's eyes twitched slightly when he mentioned his father, his first impression of Chu Zihang was that kind of person without a trace of warmth, like a sword, no matter what he didn't need to take to heart, he just shot when he should shoot, but when it came to his father, Chu Zihang was not as sharp as a sword, maybe he wasn't a sword-like man, he became like this, did it have anything to do with his father? Yuan Zhisheng wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about these guys who are known as the aces of the headquarters. Although Gen Zhisheng doesn't like these three people from the first feeling, Tachibana Masamune is right, the guy who can be regarded as a trump card by Ange must have something extraordinary.

"Switching from a yako owner to selling sunscreen? Don't you think it's a bit far to cross borders?" Caesar poured himself up again, and said to Yuan Zhisheng.

Although I didn't appreciate the splendor of "born like a summer flower", the top tuna sashimi is delicious in the end, in the rainstorm and thunderous weather, sitting barefoot on the cool tatami mat eating Japanese food overlooking Tokyo in the rain, slightly drunk with a hint of relaxed pleasure, so that Caesar wants to find someone to chat, this feeling is a bit like Lu Mingfei said, the rivers and lakes.

"It is the responsibility of the head of the Gen family to manage the underworld, and as for myself," Gen said, "I still want to leave Tokyo and find a warm and comfortable city to live a life of eating and waiting for death."

"Actually, I think Tokyo is pretty good, and if you have enough money to spend, it's quite suitable for eating and waiting to die." Lu Mingfei said, "In the end, there will be people everywhere who feel new and people who are bored."

"If you can walk around more, see more, and always meet someone you like, and it will be settled." Yuan Zhisheng said.

Caesar smiled a little contemptuously, "My uncle Frost also used to say that his greatest wish was to live an ordinary life, and he is now the acting head of the Gattuso family, and there are often bankers queuing up to see him. When he's busy, he likes to complain, 'Hell, it's nice to have an empty schedule for another month, so that I can go back to my old house in the country for a while, drink and read a book, and say hello to my old neighbors.' But as long as the phone doesn't ring for a long time, he will fidget, feeling that things are out of his control." ….

"You're saying I'm just as hypocritical as your uncle?" Yuan Zhisheng didn't look offended.

"I don't want to mock you, but people do. They call you Young Master, you are second only to the Grand Patriarch in a family in charge of the Japanese underworld, you must be the next Grand Patriarch, you are the one who stands at the top of the city and calls for wind and rain, you can do whatever you want, but you will not be a big man if you leave here," Caesar lit a cigar and swallowed the clouds, "It doesn't feel good to change from a big man back to an ordinary person."

"Boss, you're right, there are thousands of people in this world, there are people like your uncle, and naturally there are people who are not like your uncle, you can't take a few baskets and throw people into it, after all, how many people have we met and how many people do we know?" Lu Mingfei retorted, "The world is very complicated, and people are also complicated, and many times it is not what we think."

Yuan Zhisheng thought for a moment, "Gattuso-kun, if you were that tortoise named George, what kind of life would you like to live? It is to carry on the mission of continuing the race and to stay in the country

HomeReaganReagan: How about other female tortoises trying to reproduce, or bite through the barbed wire fence in the national park and crawl back to the watering hole you used to have?"

"Bite through the barbed wire." Caesar said without thinking, "It's like when I'm the only human being left in the world, and I won't be willing to have a forbidden love affair with a female orangutan for the sake of continuing my race, my ideal is to crawl back to Portofino and die as the last human in history looking at the sea."

"Hey, boss, what you said is just that the female orangutan doesn't fit your sexual fetishes, if you change to a sexy succubus, I'm afraid you won't be happy here, right?" Lu Mingfei complained.

"Is there a choice for this kind of thing?" Caesar said.

"I don't know, but it's all hypothetical, and who can say a standard answer?" Lu Mingfei shrugged.

"George is the last Pinta Island tortoise in the world, and I am the last Gen family descendant in the world, the last Pinta Island tortoise should work hard to breed offspring for the sake of racial immortality, and the last Genta descendant should reinvigorate the family's prestige in the underworld, but George just wants to go back to his puddle and roll, and I just want to go to the naturist beach to sell sunscreen." Gen Zhisheng stared into Caesar's eyes and said, "I'm this kind of person, in fact, the underworld business of the Eight Snake Families and the mission of the secret party are not important to me, my ideal in life is to sell sunscreen. I'm not the same person as your uncle."

"Then why not? If you hop on the plane at midnight, you'll already be able to feed the seagulls in the Mediterranean by the time the mission starts tomorrow night." Caesar said, "We can take care of the task ourselves."

"Is this a challenge to me?" Yuan Zhisheng's eyes sharpened and he smiled coldly.

"Sort of." Caesar stretched comfortably, "If you accept this challenge, hop on a plane and leave Tokyo tonight, I promise I won't tell anyone, and I'll jump on the plane to find you when the mission is done, and bring all the girls in the student council with you, and ask them to put on white lace dresses, and we'll have a drink on the beach then."

"What do you mean?" Yuan Zhisheng was a little incomprehensible. ….

"The most memorable trip in my life is a trip with a neurotic who comes to your window and shouts at you, jumping into a full gas car and waving a map into the night! I didn't even know which direction my destination was, I just wanted to run as far as possible." Caesar's eyebrows fluttered, "There shouldn't be any cage in the world that can trap a real man, except for one exception, and that is the girl you like."

"Do you have a girl you like?"

"Fiancée, to be exact!" Caesar looked out at the pouring rain, "It was raining so hard the night I fell in love with her, she drove around the dorm building like a little madman, driving around the dormitory like a convertible, shouting 'I'm going to Chicago, I'm going to Chicago, I'm going to Chicago, will anyone want to go to Chicago with me?' She was a freshman at the time, and the lights were dangling every window in the entire dorm building, and all the older boys were looking down at her, and I bet everyone had fallen in love with her in that moment. She opened the hood, her hair soaked from the rain, and her eyes were frighteningly bright."

Lu Mingfei secretly said that it is almost the same, people always wear a filter when they reminisce, and the crazy girl who is soaked in the rain is most likely not the lover of every man's dream.

"You're impressed?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"Needless to say? The first thing I did was pull out the Desert Eagle and jump off three floors as I fired a gun into the air!"

"I can understand that you jumped straight from the third floor in a hurry, but what was the gunfire for?"

"It's to scare the other neuropaths, lest they get the first shot." Caesar scratched his head, "But as soon as I jumped into her car, I was stopped by dozens of guns, the guys from the school engineering department, who said that we couldn't use firearms on campus except for a free day, and then we were taken wet to the Discipline Committee to be lectured by Professor Manstein......

"That's a shame." Lu Mingfei sighed, Enono's unique escape, it was not surprising that he would behave like this, and a neurotic like Caesar, who fooled around with her and enjoyed it, as far as he knew was in the academy

There was no second one, and if Caesar hadn't fired his gun, that trip to Chicago would probably have been fine.

"So if you really don't want to stay in this city and be the boss of the underworld, you should leave without worrying about it, think about it, maybe there's a girl waiting for you on that flight, if you don't go to her next seat you'll be taken by a bald salty guy, you rush over now, you can point a gun at the salty guy and ask him to give you his place and fly to the naturist beach in France with the girl you like!" Great, isn't it?"

"Great." Gen raised his glass, "Cheers to this great idea."

The four of them drank a glass of wine, this is indeed a good idea worth toasting to, Caesar is usually pretending to be serious, in fact, they are all role-playing of the second disease, after drinking, some of the original form is revealed, the energy of the second is explosive, at this time he said any bloody lines without a sense of disobedience, because the second disease is contagious, a strong aura of the second disease, can bring the people around the second with the second. ….

"But I can't." Yuan Zhisheng put the porcelain cup on the table after drinking, and stared at the pattern at the bottom of the cup.

"Can't let go of the status of the head of the family?" Caesar frowned.

Gentoshi got up and walked to the terrace to look out at Tokyo in the rain: "This city was called Edo many years ago. At that time, it was the most fashionable and trendy city in Japan, where the Grand Shogun Seiyi opened his house, the Portuguese sold iron cannons and red-coated cannons in the port, and girls with baskets walked the streets selling imported goods in small tin boxes. At that time, the samurai also had the right to wear swords, and they strutted in the middle of the streets, and when they saw civilians blocking the way, they drew their swords and threatened to cut them, and the people of the Restoration were active at night, causing panic among the shogunate officials. The underworld in Edo was formed during that period, and at that time it was not easy to make a living among many forces, and the people who formed the underworld were all declining samurai, craftsmen, dock workers, and ***, they were all low-level people who begged for a living in Edo, and formed guilds in order not to be bullied and to survive."

"I thought that Japan's underworld was founded by the Snake Eight Families." Lu Mingfei said.

"No, the yakuza gangs were originally weak people's organizations, and they didn't appear until after the Edo period, and those who could earn money and live a rich life delegated to the underworld, and the origins of the Eight Clans of the Snake Qi were much farther than the underworld, and they were all aristocratic families before the Edo period, and they originally disdained the underworld." "But they lost their land and estate in the midst of the change, and the only commendable force was no longer able to support themselves as the samurai class withdrew from the stage of history."

"So the original head of the eight families decided to intervene in the underworld and make money by getting their hands dirty, they used the talent of the half-breed to neutralize the underworld by force, providing shelter for the gangs established by those poor people, and collecting offerings, since then the eight families of Snake Qi have entered the underworld, and later become underworld law enforcers, and it has not been many years since then."

"So what?" Caesar didn't understand it too well.

"What he probably meant was that the bottom of the underworld was actually made up of a group of weak people?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

"In fact, there are some old underworld gangs, formerly known as the original guilds, which are organizations established by the weak to protect themselves. Many years ago they were weak, and now most of them are still weak, and you can't understand the real Japanese yakudo just by visiting this building, and the real yakudo is a shadow society of weak people in those corners and alleys where the lights can't shine."

Gen Zhisheng's face was hidden in the shadows.

"After all, the underworld is not tolerated, but the underworld cannot be eradicated, because there will always be lowly, weak, and shady people in the world, who are ugly compared to those successful and good people, and are inferior people in society, but since there are superior people, there must be inferior people, and inferior people also have the desire to live, and in order to live is not so difficult, from this desire was born the black organization."

"You want to say that the Eight Snakes are the leaders of the weak?" Caesar said, "Isn't it suspicious of whitewashing for a gangster to position himself like this?"

"Of course, we are not saviors, nor do we have the wisdom and ability to lead the weak to build a society that does not oppress us, we are just people who do business with the underworld, and we accept it

The gang's money is used to reconcile the balance in the underworld so that the underworld is not dominated by the law of the jungle." "From this point of view, we are indeed the leaders of the weak."

"In many people's impressions, the image of the underworld is the kind of underworld leaders who kill and kill, they enjoy bewitching women, take out a lot of cash to reward subordinates at will, kill whoever is unhappy, and pour the corpse into cement and sink in Tokyo Bay, but most of those who live at the bottom of the underworld are also weak people who cannot enter the mainstream society."

"Many of the thugs who go to the store with knives to ask for protection money are children from single-parent families, children who have been expelled from school, and children who can't afford to go to college. And many of the women who flirt in the nightclub are single mothers, and some are often subjected to domestic violence by their fathers, and even insulted by their stepfathers, in the eyes of these women, their bodies are no longer precious, and they don't think about what to do in the future, they just try their best to live, live in the present, and can only live in the present."

"This is society in the shadows."
