Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 43 No choice
  Fujiwara Masato knew that gathering intelligence was not easy, but he did not expect it to be so troublesome and detailed. He asked Kosuiuchi Shun to investigate the mission client, and Huang Mao worked hard to investigate the Maple Leaf Society's intelligence for more than a week. In the time, the former barely managed to find out the general situation of the three people, but the latter's intelligence collection work was not progressing satisfactorily.

At present, Masato Fujiwara only knows the names and appearance of the big boss and second boss of the Maple Leaf Club. He also knows who is supporting the Maple Leaf Club, who are its allies, and who are its enemies. The information Huang Mao has collected so far Couldn't pinpoint the specifics.

The street gangsters in Tokyo are familiar with the history of the big gangs entrenched in Minato and Shinjuku districts, but have little interest in the past of the Maple Leaf Club, which occupied the fringes of Tokyo and "eat and wait to die."

So much so that when Huang Mao paid them to ask for information, each of these little gangsters patted their chests and promised that they would get the information soon, but as a result, until now, these guys have not come up with anything that makes sense. .

At this time, Masato Fujiwara wished that he could get to know an information dealer in the movie, and then just pay for him to buy all the information he needed.

It's a pity that this is just a wishful thinking, and even if such a person appears, the current Fujiwara Masato will not trade information from him.

Fujiwara Masato dared to imagine that if he dared to buy information, the guy who sold things for money would notify the Maple Leaf Club and let the latter know that someone was trying to plot against them.

Fujiwara Masato's common sense and reason told him that he should never have any illusions about the integrity and professional ethics of intelligence businessmen. Their ability in this industry relies on their ability to adapt to the situation and have both sides. If they really want to fight, they will definitely You can't beat the local snakes.

Therefore, any intelligence dealer who can survive must have a local backer. If he has no protective umbrella but sells other people's information indiscriminately, such a person has been killed by his master a dozen times.

Therefore, when you are not strong enough and cannot walk on the white road in an upright manner, you must be cautious and careful, and you must not trust outsiders easily.

Fujiwara Masato understood this truth, so although he was in a hurry to go on a killing spree, he did not rush Kosui Neijun and Huang Mao to speed up their actions. Some things cannot be rushed. If you are in a hurry, you will easily make mistakes. If you make a mistake, you will have to pay. cost.

At the same time, during this week of intelligence collection, Fujiwara Masato also had some hesitation about whether he should join the Maple Leaf Club now based on the existing intelligence.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that Fujiwara Masato is afraid. If he wants to confront the Maple Leaf Society now, he will definitely not be able to defeat the Maple Leaf Society. But if he wants to rely on various attacks to behead the leaders of the Maple Leaf Society and dismember the Maple Leaf Society, then It's definitely no problem.

The key is, after the maple leaf falls, who will devour its corpse, and who will occupy the territory left by the former... Adachi City.

This is a very real problem.

The Maple Leaf Club is the overlord of Adachi City. With more than 300 members of a violent gang that dares to fight and kill, it occupies various black and gray businesses in Adachi City, such as construction material transportation, garbage recycling, pachinko shops, and milk tea. It controls all businesses such as stores and white flour trading.

Once the maple leaf falls, its corpse, these businesses are like a bucket of bloody meat, attracting a large number of hungry wolves to swarm in. In order to eat more meat, others will eat less or cannot eat, they will definitely There will be a fight.

If in another place, hungry wolves would start fighting each other, Fujiwara Masato would have no other ideas except watching the show, because these physical businesses are not suitable for him.

The problem is that the Maple Leaf Club's base is in Adachi City. If it falls, when the hungry wolves gather in Adachi City to bite each other, they will definitely not take care of civilians in the process. When large-scale fights occur, it will spread to It is inevitable for civilians. The calm on the water in Adachi District has been broken, and Masato Fujiwara who lives here will certainly not be able to escape this wave.

Considering that his daily life would be disturbed, Fujiwara Masato couldn't help but hesitate... Should the Maple Leaf Club wait until I move out of Adachi City before going back to clean it up?
  In other words, when I get stronger and "raise" a dog so that it has the strength and qualifications to digest the corpses of the Maple Leaf Society, then I will take action? In this way, we can avoid wasting "food"?

Fujiwara Masato thought about it. Although the intelligence collection operation was still proceeding as planned, his determination to take action gradually weakened, and then he had the idea of ​​taking action against the Oshima group.

It’s better to fight the small wild monsters first and save the level boss first.

However, plans always fail to keep up with changes, and the world does not revolve around Fujiwara Masato alone. He can do whatever he wants. No, just when he was hesitant, something happened that completely changed him. his thoughts.

……

On an ordinary afternoon, Fujiwara Masato was carrying a tray to clean up the mess left by the guest in Seat 3, when the wind chimes in the coffee shop jingled.

Because this was a very common thing, and Keiko Inoshita was also there, Masato Fujiwara didn't think much and continued to clear away the coffee cups on the table until a very rough voice shouted, breaking the tranquility of the cafe. "Boss Boss, it's time for you to pay this month's protection fee."

The sound was so loud that Fujiwara Masato was also attracted. He turned around and saw two Japanese men wearing suit jackets and floral shirts yelling at Asami Inoshita behind the coffee bar.

Asami Inoshita was a little surprised.

"This is a newly opened store. According to the rules of the Adachi Maple Leaf Club, isn't it true that newly opened stores can be exempted from the protection fee for three months, and will be charged after three months?"

In this regard, the leader of the big man explained in a clear voice.

"This rule is for new shops that have just opened and don't have many customers. However, your cafe has such a large customer flow and its daily turnover has reached the profit standard, so naturally you are not within the protection scope of the rules. This protection fee, you have to pay Paid."

Asami Inoshita's husband was a member of a violent gang. She also knew about this, and she knew better who she owed money to, and she couldn't owe money to the underworld, so she just complained, turned around, took out an envelope, and stuffed it inside After taking some money, he handed it to the big man in front of the bar.

The big man got the envelope, opened it in front of Asami Inoshita, roughly counted the thickness of the Japanese yen bills inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

Now that they had received the protection money, according to the rules, they could not harass the coffee shop this month, so the two of them were ready to turn around and leave.

However, by some strange combination of circumstances, when they were about to leave the cafe, the second man inadvertently turned his head and saw Masato Fujiwara holding a tray. He was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reached out and grabbed Masato Fujiwara, who was about to walk out of the cafe door. companion.

"what happened?"

"Look, look at that person!"

"Wow even……"

"Does he look good enough to meet the above requirements?"

"Very much in line!"

The leader of the man in a suit quickly rushed to Fujiwara Masato. After carefully looking at the latter's face and body shape again and again, he rudely raised his cell phone to take a photo of the latter.

Fujiwara Masato did not move, he just watched the movements of the two big men coldly. Where the latter could not see, Amu Yuriko, who was wearing a waiter uniform, quietly pulled up her clothes, reached into it, and grabbed a short Guan Wutu's double-barreled shotgun was aimed at the two people's backs.

As soon as Fujiwara Masato lay down to the side, the self-defense female soldier would immediately open fire and beat them into sieves with two No. 12 shotguns.

"Hey, kid, you're... pretty good-looking. Do you want to be an idol or a star?"

"Not interested in."

"Haha..." Facing Fujiwara Masato's cold reply, the two big men smiled exaggeratedly, and then turned away without saying anything. However, at the door of the coffee shop, they used their mobile phones to take pictures of Fujiwara Masato again. Take an overall photo.

As the camera clicked and flashed, Fujiwara Masato's expression became as cold as an iceberg.

He has no choice now.
