Chapter 614: Yuzu Rina’s Grand Ambitions

Although Yuzuriha’s father owed money, this group of thugs should have known that Yuzuriha was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, with no ability to earn money, and there was no need to pressure her. However, if they approached her for her parents’ belongings, then everything would make sense.

“Your father owes debts; where is he now?”

Yuzuriha was silent for a moment. “He died, just two days ago.”

Lin Qiye turned to look at her.

“He was a wanted criminal, so I’m not surprised it ended this way,” Yuzuriha said淡淡地. “Since the day he abandoned my mother and me, I haven’t considered him my father. He racked up these debts outside, and I don’t want to help him pay them off.”

Lin Qiye nodded, not saying much more; after all, it was someone else’s family matter, and he couldn’t comment on it.

“What about Grandma Crane? How is she doing now?” Yuzuriha suddenly asked, looking worried.

“She has gone back; she will be fine.”

“That’s good.”

Upon hearing this, Yuzuriha finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you…”

“No need to thank me; I’m just returning a favor. After all, without you, I would probably still be stuck on the reef,” Lin Qiye replied.

The two strolled outside for a while when Heidong walked out of the warehouse, holding a debt note.

“So soon?” Lin Qiye asked in surprise.

“It seems you don’t know enough about my professionalism, Director,” Heidong smiled. “Besides, this guy is a softie; I barely had to try, and he spilled everything.”

“What’s the situation?”

Heidong’s expression grew serious. “The situation seems to be more complicated than we imagined.”

Lin Qiye frowned slightly.

“This debt note is forged,” Heidong said, handing the note to Lin Qiye.

Both Lin Qiye and Yuzuriha were taken aback.

“Forged?” Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow. “In what way?”

“All of it,” Heidong replied. “This debt note is entirely fake, fabricated by Iwamai Yusuke himself, including the amount owed, the debtor, and the signatures and seals below.”

“So, you’re saying her father didn’t owe any money at all?”

“Exactly.”

Lin Qiye turned to Yuzuriha, who stood there in confusion, seemingly unaware of this.

Lin Qiye understood Heidong’s implication. “So, they are just using the debt as an excuse to look for something?”

“That’s right, and it seems the waters behind this matter are quite deep,” Heidong continued. “Iwamai Yusuke is not the mastermind; he is just a pawn. Behind him, there is a large gang controlling him.”

“A gang?” Lin Qiye’s frown deepened.

“He doesn’t seem to know which gang specifically, but according to him, the person he spoke to on the phone claimed to be Mr. Inoue. It seems he was controlled by drugs and promised 5 million yen once he got the item. The gun he has was also obtained through that person’s channel.”

At that moment, Yuzuriha, who had been silently standing by, suddenly spoke up.

“Was that person speaking with a Kanto accent or a Kansai accent?”

Both Lin Qiye and Heidong were taken aback.

“What does that matter?”

“There are only a few major gangs in Japan. The Kanto side is mainly controlled by the Hanzawa and Kazematsuri families, which are extremely powerful. Ten years ago, if these two families joined forces, they could crush any gang in Japan, known as the ‘Earthly Twin Calamity.’

The Kansai side is more complicated; the most powerful gang there is probably the Black Kill Group. There are a few weaker gangs eyeing them, but the Black Kill Group, due to its short establishment time and shallow roots, cannot achieve the absolute dominance like the Earthly Twin Calamity in Kansai.

By identifying the accent of Mr. Inoue, we can roughly narrow down the possible gang ranges.”

After hearing this, Heidong turned to Lin Qiye, seeking his opinion with her eyes.

Lin Qiye nodded, and she immediately returned to the warehouse to interrogate Iwamai Yusuke again.

“How do you know so much about the underworld?” Lin Qiye asked curiously, looking at Yuzuriha.

Yuzuriha slightly turned her head, avoiding Lin Qiye’s gaze, and stammered, “Um, um… My mother used to be very interested in researching the underworld and the host industry. Spending time with her, I gradually became interested in these things too…”

After hesitating for a moment, Yuzuriha mustered her courage, looked up at Lin Qiye, and said seriously, “My biggest dream used to be to rent out the most luxurious host club in Japan, build ten champagne towers, and have the most famous hosts in Japan dance with me.”

Lin Qiye looked at her serious expression and slightly flushed face, feeling a bit bewildered.

He didn’t understand what Yuzuriha was talking about, but it sounded impressive.

“Uh-huh.” Lin Qiye pretended to nod. “That’s a great dream.”

Upon hearing this response, Yuzuriha was left stunned.

She had prepared herself to be mocked by Lin Qiye, as whenever she mentioned this dream to others, she always received various strange looks. But she never expected Lin Qiye to so seriously and calmly acknowledge her dream.

Doesn’t he find this dream strange?

While Yuzuriha was lost in thought, Heidong walked out of the warehouse.

“I asked him; he said it was a Kanto accent,” Heidong said to Lin Qiye.

“So, it’s likely one of the Hanzawa or Kazematsuri families?” Lin Qiye pondered. “What could possibly make these two major gangs mobilize like this?”

Lin Qiye glanced at Yuzuriha, who also looked confused, and simply shook her head.

“Never mind, let’s deal with that guy; he no longer has any value.”

Heidong agreed and turned back to the warehouse.

Lin Qiye said to Yuzuriha, “Now that this group of thugs has been dealt with, even if the gang behind them wants to find you, they have lost their eyes and ears. As long as you and Grandma Crane change places to live and keep a low profile, they should have a hard time finding you.

Don’t worry about the money; although I don’t have much left, it should be enough to help you get through this period.”

Lin Qiye had many things to do: going to Osaka to find Amamiya Haruki, repairing the “White Slash,” nurturing the sword spirit, searching for the whereabouts of other team members, and figuring out the truth about this country… He didn’t have time to waste on this matter any longer.

Moreover, with so little information, he couldn’t just swagger into Tokyo and wipe out Japan’s two largest gangs right under the “Pure Land.”
