【Breaking Update 1W3】

Hua Hua Hua...

Suddenly, Otsuki Minoru and others heard a noisy sound coming from the front.

Looking around, one could see that the dense flow of people in front of them were spreading to the left and right sides, making way for a spacious passage for a group of three people headed by a scar-faced man.

This scar-faced man was none other than Sasaki, who had just said hello to Qingden and was currently carefully inspecting the stall guarded by his "Shimizu Clan".

Sasaki led his men and strode forward in a majestic and arrogant manner along the middle of the street that had been vacated by the pedestrians' concessions.

Otsuki Minoru and his party happened to be standing on Sasaki's only path.

Although they didn't recognize Sasaki, they recognized Yakuza's iconic body tattoos.

Not wanting to cause any trouble, they quickly followed the crowd around them and quickly stood on the street.

While watching Sasaki leave, they heard the people around them discussing in detail:

"Who are these people? Why are they so arrogant?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, these people are from the 'Qingshui Clan'."

"Gu...Qingshui clan..."

"move……"

…

"It turns out these people are Yakuza from the 'Shimizu Clan'..." One of Tsuneji's friends smacked his tongue and cast his gaze back on Sasaki's back, which had almost disappeared from their sight, "No wonder it's like this

prestige……"

"If a Yakuza can reach the level of the 'Qingshui Clan', his life in this world will be considered worthwhile." Another person echoed.

"Haha, I'm a little excited for no reason..." Changci grinned and raised his hand to hold his chest that was inflated unconsciously, "Haha, I didn't expect that one day we would have to negotiate business with such a behemoth."

As soon as he said this, his friends who were standing next to him all showed confident and confident smiles.

Changci and his three friends are all rich and powerful children from wealthy families.

But they are different from the "fallen rich generation" who only know how to spend money lavishly, eat and die, and have no ambitions.

They are full of ambition and desire to achieve a career far greater than that of their elders.

As a result, they hit it off as they had similar interests, and after several careful discussions, they decided to jointly open a liquor wholesale store in Edo specializing in selling "shangfang water".

The so-called "Shangfang Shu" is a drink produced in the Gyeonggi area.

Because Kyoto has a strong historical and cultural influence that is unmatched by other cities, people in the Kanto area often refer to the Gyeonggi area as "Shanggang", and the drinks produced in the Gyeonggi area are often called "Shanggang water"

.

Because of its superior taste, "Shangfang Shui" has always been a best-seller in Kanto.

If you want to open such a large-scale store in Edo... it is very necessary to have a good relationship with local gangsters like the "Shimizu Clan".

This time, the reason why Tsuneji and others made a sudden visit to Edo was to discuss in detail with the "Shimizu Clan" about opening a store in Edo.

This was the first time that they had dealt with such a large business... Even though they were accustomed to the world, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous and frightened.

"Hehe... I hope this big business can be successfully negotiated with the 'Qingshui Clan'..." Changci muttered.

"...Changci."

Otsuki Minoru, who had been silent since just now, suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Tsuneji's sleeve.

"Do we...really want to interact with the 'Qingshui Clan'?"

There was a faint uneasiness in Otsuki Minoru's eyes.

"It's already this time, why are you still saying such things?" Chang Ci laughed dumbly, "Don't worry, we're just talking about business, what could happen?"

"That's true... but the 'Qingshui Clan' are Yakuza... we can't use common sense to measure them..."

Otsuki Minoru has always held a "disagree" attitude towards the fact that Tsuneji and others are preparing to discuss business with the "Shimizu Clan".

As a native of Edo, she has often heard about the horrific deeds of the "Shimizu Clan" since she was a child.

A big shot who came from nowhere suddenly fell ill and died because he accidentally offended the 'Qingshui Clan'...

Because so and so could not repay the money of the "Qingshui Clan", their whole family was dragged away and sold by the "Qingshui Clan"...

The Yakuza group from out of town wanted to plant a flag in Edo, but they were wiped out by the powerful "Shimizu Clan"...

…

The various atrocities committed by the "Qingshui Clan" could take three days and three nights to describe.

Although Otsuki Minoru knew very well that a Yakuza group like the "Shimizu Clan" already had strong attributes of a business group and were not bandits who didn't follow any rules.

But Otsuki Minoru still wants to try his best to avoid keeping a distance from this kind of murderous and bloody organization.

"Ashi, it's okay."

Changci saw Otsuki Minoru's uneasiness, he stretched out his hands, grabbed Otsuki Minoru's shoulders, and raised the corners of his mouth with a confident arc.

"I'm just talking business with them, and I'm not doing any dirty tricks that might offend others."

"If business negotiations with them don't go smoothly, the worst possible outcome is to just not talk to them."

"Relax!"

Tsuneji patted Otsuki Minoru's shoulders vigorously.

Otsuki Minoru: "Well..."

…

…

But he said back to Qingdeng——

After breaking up with Otsuki Minoru, Aomori successfully reconciled with Kinoshita.

"Qingteng." Kinoshita Wu, holding a bag of baked rice cakes in her hand, stood on tiptoes and looked behind Qingteng curiously, "I seem to have seen you talking to someone just now...who was that person?"

"

"The daughter of my father's friend."

The next moment Aoto told the truth, Kinoshita Mai's expression froze.

But the words Aoto sent immediately after made Kinoshita Mai's expression return to normal.

"Although I have a childhood sweetheart relationship with that person... I haven't had any contact with her since she married in Nara more than a year ago."

"That friend of yours is already married..." Kinoshita Mai showed an unnoticeable look of relief.

"Well, yes, I married a wealthy businessman from Nara. I just met her by chance, so I had a few words with her."

"Qingdeng, it's a rare reunion with old friends. Why don't you go and have a few more words with them?"

"That's not necessary. In fact, I didn't know that person very well a long time ago. If I insist on chatting with her, I don't know what to talk about, so I can only talk about the weather and what I've eaten today.

What happened?"

Kinoshita Mai's expression instantly became more relaxed, a faint hint of happiness flashed through her eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a subtle arc that could not be noticed without careful observation.

Qingto, who didn't want to talk more about Otsuki Minoru, took the initiative to change the topic.

"A Wu, let's go." Qingden handed the sweet water he just bought from the tea stall to Kinoshita Wu, "We still haven't visited many places."

"Um!"

…

…

"Lord Sasaki! Lord Sasaki!"

Sasaki suddenly heard someone calling him.

Following the direction of the sound, he turned around and saw a very thin man squeezing through the crowd and running towards him.

This person is none other than one of his capable men: Kinzaburo.

"What happened?" Sasaki asked calmly, "Did something happen to the neighborhood you are responsible for?"

Tonight, Sasaki assigned Kinzaburo the task of patrolling the neighborhood at the west end of Nihonbashi Bridge and protecting their "place" of the "Shimizu Clan" at the west end of Nihonbashi Bridge.

Seeing Kinzaburo's hurried look, Sasaki subconsciously thought that something had happened to the neighborhood he was responsible for.

"No." Kinzaburo, who ran to Sasaki, was panting and adjusting his disordered breathing while shaking his head vigorously. "It's peaceful over there. Nothing happened. It's just..."

Speaking of this, Kinsaburo paused.

He raised his head, looked around with vigilant eyes, then put his lips close to Sasaki's ear, and whispered something to Sasaki.

"?!" Sasaki was still looking calm just now, but the moment Kinzaburo finished whispering, his expression suddenly changed.

"...I understand." Sasaki said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your hard work. Just step back and do what you have to do."

"Yes!" Kinzaburo bowed to Sasaki respectfully, and then left quickly. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Sasaki's sight.
