Chapter 766.: 766.
Nei and Misuzu-san are too smart, and so you understand the rules of the game, and you can quickly think of methods to win against an opponent who follows the same rule 」
Margo-san said .
「 If you’re playing in a tournament where the players have to follow every single rule, then you’ll be the strongest in it . But, unfortunately, the world isn’t that easy 」
Misuzu looks gloomy .
Nei looks confused .
Edie’s just looking at the two of them with a smile .
「 To demonstrate, we’ve joined with Kouzuki-san on the case, but it is interesting . Nei who was at the hotel didn’t notice it, and Misuzu-san who wasn’t there understood 」
Right . Misuzu didn’t come out of the kitchen and stayed with Nagisa even when we came back .
She didn’t want me to see her look sad .
On the other hand, Nei returned with a nonchalant face .
「 After all, I know Grandfather 」
Misuzu said .
「 As for I’m the daughter of the Kouzuki house 」
Misuzu’s lived as the granddaughter of the head of Kouzuki house, Jii-chan .
「 It was beyond my expectations that Grandfather would decide like that 」
She heard everything that happened with the Yakuza in the hotel .
Minaho-neesan, Shou-neechan, or maybe Jii-chan himself, one of them contacted Misuzu .
「 What do you mean by that? 」
Nei turns to Misuzu questioningly .
「 Nei, you weren’t born from a distinguished family . You don’t know what “impurity” means 」
Margo-san smiled .
「 Impurity? 」
「 Yeah, back then, people with good standing never do dirty work . They let people with expertise do the dirty work . That’s not exclusive to Japan . It’s a common thing in this world 」
「 Dirtying one’s hands is an ill-omen . Therefore, there is always an underground society no matter what country you’re in, and that means you can never take away criminal syndicates 」
「 If there’s nobody there to do the dirty work, the people with good standing would be in trouble 」
「 No matter how sophisticated the democracy in the country is, the mayhem of the underground society is insoluble . No administration of justice, prosecution, of the police force can take it down 」
「 Therefore, the people who work on surface and people who work on the other side are clearly divided 」
Margo-san and Edie explain .
Margo-san’s the disciple of Kyouko Messer, an international criminal . Edie’s raised and sold from an assassination cult to Miss Cordelia, she knows a lot about the underground society .
「 Nei looked at Oodori and Satake’s attitude towards Kouzuki-san and thought “what stupid people,” but 」
「 I mean, they really were idiots! They didn’t understand the power of Kouzuki house at all! 」
Nei’s right, the Yakuza looked down on Jii-chan, on the power of Kouzuki house .
They’re thinking of how they can take advantage of the situation and Jii-chan .
「 That’s not it . They’re only following their own rules 」
Margo-san said .
「 It’s the rule between the Yakuza and distinguished families so far . Kouzuki house is above when it comes to assets and authority in both the surface and the backside . They know that from the start . But, when it comes to the other side, a distinguished family, like Kouzuki house will never dirty their hands, and so, they ultimately have to borrow the power of Yakuza or other organizations from their side . Therefore, they think that Kouzuki-san will never cross the line 」
「 And so they purposely speak rudely and take the attitude that they’re not scared of him, they raise the pressure against Kouzuki and try to find common ground to strike the deal 」
「 And in there, Kouzuki house, won’t involve themselves with the underground society that deeply . Either way, they can’t cast away the Yakuza completely . They have that much utility value, and so they think with that rule in their mind 」
「 Then, their ideology isn’t mistaken 」
Edie said .
「 No matter how much power and assets Kouzuki house have, capability that Kouzuki SS have, how strong Shou and Reika is… 」
「 It seems foolish if Kouzuki house does the dirty work themselves . The risk is too high, and they’ll be opposing all the underground organizations that exist 」
「 And nobody would do something that foolish . That reluctance is what saves Yakuza’s face 」
「 Even if Kouzuki-san were to take Tsukiko-san and the two in his custody, then he would have to pay the Yakuza a hefty amount of reparations, or give them interest, either way, you restrain towards the underground organization 」
If they don’t want a fight with the underground society, then,
Kouzuki house may have all the power they could have, and yet, they’ll show that they concede to the Yakuza .
「 Therefore, Oodori-san had that kind of attitude 」
「 They’re trying to cheat out of Kouzuki even for a bit 」
I see .
「 However, Grandfather declared that he’ll destroy all of Yakuza 」
Misuzu said .
「 That means, Kouzuki house will directly control the underground society . Kouzuki house won’t be using the Yakuza, who already belongs to the underground society, as an intermediary, but they’ll do it themselves 」
「 It’s not the Kansai Yakuza who’d be making an uproar but the Kouzuki group executives 」
Margo-san laughed .
「 After all, their head just made an absurd decision . And it’s not because he’s trying to remove the Yakuza and start clean management . Kouzuki-san’s choice is… 」
Right . Jii-chan said it .
「 Kouzuki house itself will take control of the underground society of Japan . Anything that they can’t deal on the surface would be settled using Kouzuki SS 」
Crushing all the Yakuza groups who defies Kouzuki house, and those who yield will become subordinates of Kouzuki SS .
「 It’s absurd . The underground society won’t consent to this, and they’ll fight against Kouzuki SS 」
Misuzu said .
「 But, it’s too late . Kouzuki-san declared it to the leaders of the Yakuza . Kouzuki SS is a separate organization, and so, Kouzuki Group has no say in it . The executives can’t stop it . Furthermore, Yazawa-san’s units are already sending off their second assault in Kansai area 」
Margo-san’s right .
He’s already declared war .
「 Today, the old leaders of Kansai Yakuza promised Jii-chan that they’ll deal with Oodori-san and Satake-san, but, they’re hesitating on doing it for real . Especially with the subordinates who didn’t do anything wrong 」
All they did was hear about the Miko power from Kiyomi-san .
「 Kouzuki-san set up a trap as he let the old men dispose of the people in that place . If they didn’t kill Oodori-san and others by tomorrow, it means that they broke their promise and Kouzuki SS can go all out with them 」
「 That’s perhaps what will happen, and then, Kouzuki group will have to prepare themselves for the worst . Now that this happened, the Yakuza won’t stop even if someone assassinates Grandfather 」
Assassinate Jii-chan?
No, it’s not just Yakuza, someone from the Kouzuki group might try to kill Jii-chan off out of fear from the Kouzuki group .
「 Assassination is impossible . Kouzuki SS has all sides protected, and so the executives can’t send over an assassin 」
Margo-san said .
Yeah .
The executives have Kouzuki SS as their protection,
And so, they can’t contact people from the underground society and request to assassinate Jii-chan .
「 Thus, the events in May will be put into function 」
Edie said .
「 Back then, the disturbing elements among the executives of Kouzuki group were eliminated 」
That’s right .
Matching with Cesario Viola’s attack; Some executives covertly tried to rebel together with Ruriko’s father, and they’re all exterminated .
「 Even if the others were thinking of rebelling someday, 」
「 Kouzuki-san and Kouzuki SS let them know to fear them back then . Even if the management tries to give their honest opinion to Kouzuki-san, they can’t complain about it in the underground society . None of them can 」
The executives;
They know that Jii-chan used the whole Kouzuki SS and took down all units in Cesario Viola’s attack .
Then, he hired that Cesario Viola to kill off his first son .
Ruriko’s father was executed .
「 Everyone knows how scary he is 」
Those who betrayed him, even if it’s his son, will have to pay with death .
That’s how harsh Jii-chan, and it etched into the minds of the executives .
「 And so, the executives will have to prepare for the worst until it’s sure that the Yakuza’s going to fight by tomorrow . They can’t do anything about it anymore 」
「 Indeed . Now that’s happened, they’re talented, and so they’ll change the way they think . If Kouzuki house were to control the underground society, then, they’ll see which can make a profit for them . They’ll be positive about it 」
Edie and Margo-san said .
「 But, it would be unthinkable for them . It’s not worth to have Kouzuki house fight the underground society 」
Misuzu said .
「 But, there’s nothing anyone can do, Kouzuki-san’s aim isn’t to obtain the underground society, but to cause this dispute 」
Margo-san said with a bright face .
「 What does that mean? 」
Misuzu’s surprised .
「 It’s simple . If they’re to fight the Kansai Yakuza upfront, Kouzuki group would be united . They’ll set aside the internal power struggle they had until now . The opponent is the Yakuza after all . They don’t know what the Yakuza will do, and so the group will scram and share information with each other . Naturally, the people who were trying to push down the new CEO, Shiba-san, from the rising faction, would be gone . Shiba-san won’t be able to fire off people from the Kouzuki branch families because they don’t align with his opinion 」
Kouzuki group will become one .
「 Then, Kouzuki-san is the leader of this dispute . The charisma that Kouzuki-san has will solidify the group further . As a result, adding to the time where Kouzuki-san is the best CEO, the loyalty of the people in the group will just increase 」
Margo-san said .
「 Kouzuki-san himself set out to discuss with the Yakuza . He stood in the frontline of the battlefield . He brought his soldiers with him . Then, if anything were to happen to Kouzuki-san, Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san would take over the loyalty of the group 」
You mean?
「 Kouzuki-san is purposely making this choice for his granddaughter’s sake 」
Causing all this uproar and all the troubles,
He even picked a fight with the Kansai Yakuza .
「 Why? 」
Misuzu mutters .
「 He’s impatient . Kouzuki-san’s already 82-years-old . He thinks that he doesn’t have enough time left . Therefore, he’s taking measures 」
Jii-chan doesn’t want his granddaughters to have difficulties after his death .
He wishes that they take over the power and assets of Kouzuki house smoothly .
That’s why he’ll do anything to achieve that .
「 Grandfather! 」
Misuzu drops her shoulders .
「 You can’t do anything anymore, Misuzu . You have to act like nothing’s happening, just like Ruriko 」
Edie?
「 She knows . But, she’ll entrust everything to her Grandfather . And so, she’s composed 」
「 That’s right . This is Kouzuki SS’ fight . You’re not involved . Naturally, there will be the same bodyguards with you, as Kouzuki SS has the best security out there . Therefore, you can continue your life like usual 」
Margo-san said .
「 Misuzu . Jii-chan made his decision and is already moving the Kouzuki group . We can’t do anything about that 」
「 Danna-sama 」
「 Believe in him . He won’t do anything bad . Jii-chan has Yazawa-san, Shou-neechan, and Rei-chan supporting him . Minaho-neesan’s helping Kouzuki SS in their job as well . They’ll definitely pull through the Yakuza’s attack . It’s them after all 」
「 …Okay 」
Misuzu nods lightly .
「 It’s okay . They’ll win . Kouzuki SS has thrown away their rules so far . And Majority of the Yakuza is still bound by their rules . But once an influential man begins to attack with all his might, they’ll tremble and yield in turns . Well, a few organizations would be destroyed just to set an example 」
Edie smiled .
「 With that said, that’s all we have to discuss, you can return to your usual routine by tomorrow 」
Margo-san looked at Nei and Misuzu .
「 Do you understand now? There are people beyond your expectations that breaks all the rules 」
Nei and Misuzu, these two are smart, and so they get caught in the reasoning they have .
「 Edie and I belong in this world, and so we are used to it . This is how it is . For example, a discussion talking about I one has three times more power, then they’ll surely win . That’s common sense in battlegrounds . But, we don’t swallow that whole . Real experience is a scary thing 」
「 There are always people who are stronger than the ordinary 」
