Chapter 642: Festival Attack Plan

“……Welcome to the morning news.

Last night, a fire broke out at Military Base No. 122 located in the suburbs of Osaka, suspected to be caused by an explosion of military weapons due to improper storage. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Our reporters will continue to provide updates…

In other news, the annual Tenjin Festival has begun. The procession will start from Tenmangu Shrine and parade along the Okawa River. Preparations for the fireworks show have been completed, and tonight will feature…”

Sitting by the window and eating an orange, Uncle Kyosuke raised an eyebrow at the news on the television and remarked, “In this day and age, military bases can explode?”

“There’s no war, no foreign enemies; these military bases are practically abandoned. Although the police have been maintaining these dangerous buildings, it’s normal for something to go wrong. Didn’t a few military bases in Hokkaido explode not long ago?” Little Jin yawned.

Lin Qiye, sitting across from Uncle Kyosuke, observed silently, his expression unreadable.

Indeed, last night’s explosion was caused by him.

However, he didn’t intentionally set fire to the military base. After eating several warehouses’ worth of weapons, Mumu overindulged and turned into a short, chubby figure. Accidentally burping, he released a small flame that ignited nearby gunpowder…

Fortunately, most of the gunpowder had already been consumed; otherwise, even with Lin Qiye’s physique, he wouldn’t have survived such a massive explosion.

Beside him, Amamiya Haruki glanced at him knowingly; it was clear that this incident was definitely related to Lin Qiye…

Just yesterday, he had inquired about the location of the military base, and the next day, it was reported that the base had exploded. What a coincidence!

“Uncle Kyosuke, I’ve finished cleaning the kitchen!” Yuzurina said, walking out of the kitchen with a mop in hand, wiping the sweat from her forehead as she spoke to Uncle Kyosuke.

“Alright, little Yuzurina, come over and take a break,” Uncle Kyosuke said with a smile, patting the seat beside him.

Yuzurina took off her apron and sat next to Uncle Kyosuke, letting out a long sigh. Just then, a few peeled oranges were handed to her.

“Have some; these oranges are quite sweet,” Uncle Kyosuke said with a grin.

“Thank you, Uncle.”

“Uncle Kyosuke, I heard that things have been a bit unsettled in Dotonbori these past couple of days?” Little Jin seemed to recall something as he spoke. “It seems some gang members have been causing trouble, one after another, as if they’re looking for something…”

“Weren’t we also targeted by the gang? That Black Kill Group even had Asaba and Amamiya serve the group leader.”

“It’s different this time; it seems the people coming are from Kanto.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki frowned simultaneously, exchanging glances that reflected their concern.

The Hanchuan family had already set their sights on Dotonbori, searching for Lin Qiye and Yuzurina.

“The gangsters are just a bunch of idle lunatics; we just need to avoid provoking them. They can’t just show up and cause trouble for no reason, right?” Uncle Kyosuke said leisurely.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen black cars roared into the alley, creating a scene much larger than when Asakura Ken came last time!

Dozens of gang members got out of the cars, forming two lines at the entrance like a human wall. They respectfully turned around and bowed deeply, seemingly waiting for someone.

A young man draped in a flowing cloud haori stepped out of a car, took a cigarette from one of his subordinates, lit it with a silver vintage lighter, and slightly raised his head to glance at the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, exuding a faint air of authority.

“This…” Uncle Kyosuke stared at the line of gangsters below, completely frozen in place. “They really came?!”

“Don’t panic; that person is the leader of the Black Kill Group. He’s not here to cause trouble,” Lin Qiye reassured him.

“The leader of the Black Kill Group?!” Uncle Kyosuke became even more anxious. “What’s he here for?”

Lin Qiye thought for a moment. “It’s nothing; he just came to see me…”

“……”

Uncle Kyosuke, Yuzurina, and Little Jin all turned their heads stiffly, regarding Lin Qiye with strange expressions. Tears seemed to well up in Yuzurina’s big eyes…

Amamiya Haruki pondered for a moment and added, “And me.”

After a deathly silence, Uncle Kyosuke finally spoke, “Since they’re here to find you… um… to play, let them come up. We’ll open a private room… but drinks will still be charged.”

Shen Qingzhu led a group of people upstairs, joining Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki in the private room. The remaining subordinates stood guard at the door, surrounding it tightly, preventing anyone from approaching.

Uncle Kyosuke, Little Jin, and Yuzurina sat by the window, and Uncle Kyosuke clicked his tongue.

“I just wanted them to be the top hosts, but I didn’t expect… their business to be so extensive.”

Yuzurina, stuffing oranges into her mouth, spoke with a pout, “What should we do, Uncle Kyosuke? Brother Qiye is going to be wasted on cow dung.”

Little Jin thought for a moment. “Actually, that group leader is quite handsome… not exactly cow dung.”

“Yeah, he’s young and has charisma. If he also became a host, he would definitely be a rising star in the host world…” Uncle Kyosuke sighed.

“……”

……

Inside the private room.

“Help me.”

“Help me…”

“Find these people.”

“Find these people…”

“Whereabouts.”

“Whereabouts!”

“Yes, that’s how you say it. Make sure to remember it,” Lin Qiye taught Shen Qingzhu this phrase in Japanese, nodding in satisfaction.

Shen Qingzhu, cigarette in mouth, sighed deeply, his face showing indescribable frustration.

Learning a language is really too difficult…

“By the way.” Lin Qiye seemed to remember something. “We’ve reviewed the deployment map we got from you. Here’s my plan…”

Taking advantage of the break, Lin Qiye explained his plan to Shen Qingzhu. The latter nodded without hesitation after hearing it.

“Sounds good. When do we act?”

“They’ve already found Dotonbori. We don’t know when they’ll find this place, so to prevent any long delays, we’ll act tonight.”

“Tonight? Don’t you need to open for business?”

“Think of a way to make it impossible to operate tonight; that’s not a problem,” Amamiya Haruki said. “For example, today’s Tenjin Festival and fireworks show would be a good excuse.”

“The festival and fireworks will make the Hanchuan family let their guard down; this is the best time to strike,” Lin Qiye agreed with a nod.

Shen Qingzhu responded, “Alright, just give me a signal when you’re ready to act.

By the way, teach me a few more phrases in Japanese that I’ll need for tonight’s operation…”
