Chapter 641: Re-Devouring Weapons
Osaka.
The headquarters of the Oni Fire Society.
Kankawa Tsukasa stood by the window, holding a glass of champagne with spherical ice cubes, gently swirling it. Behind him, Mr. Inoue was respectfully reporting on recent work.
“…Currently, we have completely taken over the territories and businesses of all small gang forces in Osaka, including the Oni Fire Society, the Akiryuu Gang, and the Paradise Society, absorbing the original members of these forces into the Kankawa family as external personnel, totaling about three hundred people.
Aside from the Black Killers, the entire underworld of Osaka has been unified under us. With our original manpower, we can match the Black Killers in terms of numbers in Osaka. However, the distance to Tokyo is quite far, making it difficult for us to transport our firearms, so…”
“Firearms are not important,” Kankawa Tsukasa calmly interrupted Mr. Inoue.
He gently placed his hand on his waist, gripping the hilt of the “Black Rope,” and spoke softly, “Some things can never be defeated by firearms.”
“Yes, young master.”
“How is the search for the descendants of Yuzuriha Kurotetsu going?”
“Our people have coordinated with the Osaka police to track the taxi that left Yamasaki Bridge that day. It ultimately stopped near Dotonbori, and the little girl lost her trace after entering the street. Our people are secretly investigating all the businesses in Dotonbori, but due to the sheer number of shops, the progress is relatively slow.”
Kankawa Tsukasa frowned slightly. “What about Asanagi Nanaya, who was with her? Have you found him?”
“No. Since he jumped into the Yodo River, there has been no trace of him. We still don’t know if he is dead or alive.”
“His target is also that little girl, so he will definitely find a way to locate her, or perhaps he has already found her…” Kankawa Tsukasa pondered for a moment. “Investigate the businesses in Dotonbori to see if there have been any unfamiliar staff members appearing recently. They might be hiding there to avoid our attention.”
“Understood, I will take care of it right away.”
Mr. Inoue turned to leave, but Kankawa Tsukasa spoke again:
“There’s no need to be timid in your actions. We are now the second-largest violent group in Osaka. If necessary, we can employ some special methods… Feel free to mobilize the people below.”
“…Yes.”
…
Heiguang Club.
Private room.
“Oni Fire Society?”
Amiya Haruki finished reading the deployment information obtained from Shen Qingzhu, raising his eyebrows slightly. “Kankawa Tsukasa is hiding here…”
“The Kankawa family has sent many people to Kansai. After eliminating those small gangs, their power has gradually accumulated. One Oni Fire Society definitely cannot contain them,” Lin Qiyao said, reaching for a pen and drawing several circles on the map.
“These places are all their people, effectively surrounding the original headquarters of the Oni Fire Society, like a heavily fortified bunker. It won’t be easy to sneak in unnoticed.”
Amiya Haruki pondered for a moment. “Can we use our professional identities to infiltrate their ranks like we did with the Black Killers?”
“…Do you think Kankawa Tsukasa would have such a hobby?”
“True.” Amiya Haruki paused. “So, does that mean we can only attack head-on?”
“While that is one option, a direct assault would inevitably alert Kankawa Tsukasa, and he might immediately use the ‘Black Rope’ to launch a large-scale attack.” Lin Qiyao contemplated for a moment. “Perhaps we can have the Black Killers break through from the front to draw their fire, and then we can infiltrate from another direction to carry out a decapitation strike.”
“That sounds good.”
“When Shen Qingzhu comes for Japanese class tomorrow, let’s discuss it with him.”
Lin Qiyao stood up, about to push the door open when he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Amiya Haruki.
“By the way, I have a question for you.”
“What is it?”
“Do you know where the nearest military base is?” Lin Qiyao added, “It should be one that has large-scale destructive weapons, like cannons and missiles.”
Amiya Haruki: ???
…
That night.
After finishing his duties of accompanying drinks and providing psychological counseling, Lin Qiyao stealthily left the Heiguang Club under the cover of night.
Ever since he and Amiya Haruki arrived, the business at Heiguang Club had been booming, going from being ignored to becoming popular all over Osaka in less than a week. Now, every night, customers lining up to drink with Lin Qiyao stretched all the way to the end of the street, and wealthy women willing to spend money on him were plentiful.
Lin Qiyao didn’t understand why he had suddenly become popular, nor did he want to know. As long as he was making money, nothing else mattered.
He walked to a secluded corner, drew two magic circles on the ground with chalk, and infused them with mental energy, summoning both Hongyan and Mumu.
In the “One, Two, Three, Red Light” state, Lin Qiyao stood still, much to Mumu’s delight, as no matter how much it crawled on him, Lin Qiyao wouldn’t budge.
Once that mysterious gaze had passed, Lin Qiyao helplessly picked up Mumu, who had wrapped its face with its rear, mounted Hongyan, and directly burrowed underground, disappearing from sight.
After moving underground for about ten minutes, the three emerged back to the surface. Under the pitch-black night sky, a massive military base stood quietly on the mountainside, with beams of light occasionally shining from the tall walls, seemingly on guard against something.
So this is a military base in Japan… I wonder if the stockpile of firearms inside can satisfy Mumu’s appetite?
Lin Qiyao thought to himself.
Mumu, this war mummy, derives its power from the weapons it devours. In this environment where the Forbidden Ruins cannot be utilized, to rapidly strengthen Mumu, it must consume more weapons.
The last time Mumu ate weapons was at the Night Watchers’ training camp, but the quantity of firearms in that warehouse was limited, and there were no large-scale destructive weapons. After using them for so long, they were nearly depleted…
If this were in the Great Xia, Lin Qiyao would definitely not allow Mumu to consume weapons from a military base, as that would be illegal. But here in Japan, even if he were to devour all the weapons, he wouldn’t feel the slightest burden.
Lin Qiyao extended his mental energy, covering the entire military base, and quickly located several large warehouses storing firearms. His eyes immediately lit up.
These things… are quite impressive?
Without a second thought, Lin Qiyao grabbed Hongyan and burrowed underground again. The next time he appeared, he was already inside a weapons warehouse.
For Hongyan, the external defenses and alerts were no threat at all.
Mumu looked at the large weapons lined up in front of it, swallowing hard.
