Back in the afternoon, when Hoshino Shiori returned to the low-rent house where she rented, she unexpectedly discovered Genya standing at the door.
"I brought you a cake." Yuan Ye raised the carton in his hand and gestured, "Didn't you say last time that you liked the cakes in this store? I happened to drop by when I came back this time. "
"Are you okay?" Hoshino Shiori didn't care about the cake, but was immediately concerned about Yuanye's safety. "You didn't even go to school today. I was worried that something happened to you."
"I'm not that easy to get into trouble." Yuan Ye smiled and replied.
"But your combat uniform is in such tatters." Hoshino Shiori pointed at Genya's tattered clothes and blamed him, "Look, the wounds haven't healed yet."
"This is a trivial matter to me. After reaching the carbon-based limit, serious injuries to ordinary people are nothing to me." Yuan Ye stretched his body, "Just like you would worry about a prosthetic body Is his prosthetic body damaged?"
"The law doesn't care about this. As long as it's not an electronic attack on the electronic brain part, doesn't the law criminalize any behavior that damages other people's prosthetics and infringes on other people's finances?"
"Don't talk nonsense like this at this time. I'm really worried about you." Hoshino Shiori sighed, "Come in, can you tell me what happened?"
"Sorry, sorry." Yuanye said helplessly, "I don't want you to worry too much."
"For the sake of you bringing me the cake, I won't say anything else." Hoshino Shiori took the cake from Genya, put the slippers in the entrance, put the cake in the refrigerator, and subconsciously took it out Canned Coke.
When the coldness on the tin reached Shiori Hoshino's fingertips, she realized what she was doing. She quickly put the Coke back, closed the refrigerator door, and turned to boil water.
While the water was boiling, Genya and Hoshino Shiori briefly talked about what happened last night.
"Hey, something like this happened." Shiori Hoshino put the tea bag in the cup and poured hot water into it. "Then Tomohiko Uesugi will go ashore with a clear conscience and stop being a Yakuza? But in this case, he will Why did you join the Word Spirit Sect in the first place? Do you want to be an undercover agent to get your name? But it seems like he didn’t get any important information as an undercover agent.”
"I also feel that something is wrong here." Genya nodded and said, "Uesugi Tomohiko's behavior is too tortuous, but it seems like he is hiding something."
"What's hidden?"
"I couldn't figure it out at first, but the name of the person from Yin Yang Lao gave me a clue." Yuanye blew the hot air on the tea and said, "He claimed to be surnamed Kujo. This surname makes people think a lot. Now, do you know the Kujo Consortium?"
"I know, he is the representative of the Kujo family in the business world, one of the Five Photographic Families, a monopoly of traditional manufacturing." Hoshino Shiori held the teacup and warmed his frozen hands, "It is also the support behind the Edo Alliance. But that was more than ten years ago, and the Edo Federation has long since become an independent organization with its own financial resources."
"That's right, it's the Kujo Consortium." Yuan Ye nodded, "So I'm wondering if the Kujo Consortium and the Yan Ling Sect have colluded together to help the Yan Ling Sect gain a foothold in the underground world of Yingzhou. Heel, and Uesugi Tomohiko is the entry point they chose. After all, I, Dr. Kujo, and the extraordinary person from the Onmyo Lao who assisted me do not look like the same person. Thinking about it, the possibility of Dr. Kujo seeking personal gain with power is quite high."
Genya didn't know the political stance of the Kujo Consortium and Onnyang Lao towards the Kinrei Sect, nor did he know the general background of Kasumigaseki's desire to regain the grassroots power of Yingzhou. The lack of information allowed him to make some guesses, but it was precisely because The lack of information made his guesses closer to the truth.
"Thinking about it this way, the cooperation between the Kujo Consortium, Uesugi Tomohiko and the Korei Sect must be kept secret, which means they should really want to kill me now." Genya guessed, "In addition, I am against Uesugi. I’m afraid he already hates me deeply for the damage caused by Tomohiko.”
"Then what are you going to do?" Hoshino Shiori asked, "Are you going to escape?"
"No, running away is the last resort." Yuanye explained, "And now, it is not me who is in danger, but you."
"Me? Why?" Hoshino Shiori didn't react for a moment.
"Because of Mr. Sato." Genya replied, "In Uesugi Tomohiko's words, the existence of Sato's granddaughter, Hoshino, was mentioned. In other words, you were originally ignored by Uesugi Tomohiko. You, instead, have now entered Uesugi Tomohiko’s sight.”
"Why do you think so?"
"It's very simple, because I am a transcendent and you are not." Genya continued to explain, "If I want to run away, even if Tomohiko Uesugi can ask the Kujo Foundation or the Korei Sect to send more combat forces, it won't necessarily be possible. You can catch me, so it seems that using you to blackmail me is a more cost-effective method that they may use."
"Actually, after I finished fighting in the morning and returned to the city, I came directly to find you, but you had already gone to school at that time, so I had no choice but to monitor the surroundings." Yuan Ye said a little embarrassed, " I know this behavior feels a bit like using you as bait, but my own personal terminal was damaged in the battle, so I have no way to notify you, and my clothes are not suitable for entering school."
"No wonder I always felt like someone was peeking at me today. It turned out to be you." Shiori Hoshino said jokingly, "But for the sake of the cake, I'll let you go, Mr. Stalker."
"Thank you so much." Yuan Ye replied, "Then while I was monitoring you, I used the personal terminal you modified for me that can only be used for calls in the underground world to contact the drone and asked him to buy it. Got some weapons."
"Then this." Yuanye took out a key and handed it to Hoshino Shiori, "I said before that I would help you rent a house. In the core area of six, security is still guaranteed. I..."
Before Yuanye finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hoshino Shiori: "You guys, do you want to be a hero? You think it's cool to challenge the Yakuza alone, don't you?"
"I don't have this idea at all, it's just..." Yuan Ye was embarrassed mid-sentence, not knowing how to make up words.
"Let me ask you something first, do you know where the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society is?" Hoshino Shiori said seriously, "This is no public information on the Internet."
"This..." Yuanye felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He really hadn't thought about this before. He was originally planning to rush straight to the arena, but now that he thought about it, it probably wasn't the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society.
"So I said, you can't do it without me." Hoshino Shiori snatched the key from Yuanye's hand, "The key belongs to me, and I still want to go with you, don't try to throw me away."
