Fujiwara Shunsui: ["Things should be resolved now!"]
Kojou Yuna: ["You apologized?"]
Fujiwara Shunsui: ["They will kneel and beg Harumizu-sama for forgiveness! (*╹▽╹*)"]
Kojou Yuna: ["Crazy!"]
No one in the room, except Fujiwara Shunsui himself, knew what he was doing.
Let alone joking around with Kojou Yuna.
Now, things were very clear.
Nagasawa Kyuichi caused trouble at a KTV under the Sankou-gumi and, after repeated warnings, remained arrogant.
So Fujiwara Shunsui stepped in and taught Nagasawa Kyuichi a lesson.
This move to protect the Association's interests was perfectly fine.
However, the people around Nagasawa Kyuichi exaggerated the situation,
making them mistakenly believe they were in the right.
They originally intended to use this incident to negotiate with the Sankou-gumi,
thereby expanding the Nagasawa Family's entertainment industry in Shinjuku,
and consequently increasing the family's influence.
After all, Associations and families in Japan all operate on a principle of 'reason'.
A mighty dragon cannot suppress a local snake.
This principle has been true since ancient times.
Especially when it's a local snake that also holds the 'reason' on its side.
But the outcome was obvious.
The Nagasawa Family's people laid hands on Nissho Taro,
even if it was just breaking his little finger,
this was already the maximum extent of provocation.
As for what exactly happened to Nissho Taro's right leg,
that remained unknown.
Fujiwara Shunsui leaned back on the sofa like this,
occasionally picking up his phone to glance at it.
This behavior also exerted considerable pressure.
Everyone present now understood
why such a man dared to come alone.
Because the one who held the 'reason' on his side
was him!
Nagasawa Kawa was now glaring fiercely at Yamashita Kosuke and the person who handled the matter.
His small movements already indicated his current panic.
Even as a local family,
to repeatedly and actively provoke the Sankou-gumi.
He was truly afraid,
wondering if he had brought disaster upon the Nagasawa Family.
It was Higashisho Ji who calmed down first.
"Mr. Harumizu, I am truly sorry for wasting your time."
"And I am also very sorry for the minor friction with Hishō-kun."
"These were all unauthorized actions by subordinates before fully understanding the situation."
"You..."
Higashisho Ji straightened his back,
but his attitude became even more humble.
His entire body leaned towards Fujiwara Shunsui,
as if trying to close the distance between them in this way.
But Harumizu did not give him a chance to explain, responding:
"The Nagasawa Family repeatedly asked the Association for an explanation, and the Association told me not to worry about it at all, but I came."
"Of course, my coming is not because I value the Nagasawa Family's influence."
"It's because you laid hands on someone from the Association, my most valued subordinate, Hishō-kun."
"Coming today, I have only one objective from beginning to end."
"That is to give me an explanation, a satisfactory explanation."
After speaking,
Fujiwara Shunsui cast his gaze towards Higashisho Ji, then looked at Nagasawa Kawa.
Finally, he looked at Yamashita Kosuke with a meaningful expression.
Then he let out a light chuckle and pulled out his phone.
Fujiwara Shunsui: ["Got them."]
Kojou Yuna: ["No way?"]
Fujiwara Shunsui: ["The other side has a useless teammate!"]
["Not everyone is as reliable as Yuna-chan~ (#^.^#)"]
"Bastard!"
A sudden shout from Higashisho Ji echoed in the room,
and even Harumizu, who was playing with his phone, instinctively adopted a defensive posture.
"Is the other side really going to war with the Association?"
This was the first thought that popped into Fujiwara Shunsui's mind.
Then he realized he was wrong.
It turned out that Higashisho Ji had stood up,
and slapped Yamashita Kosuke, who was behind him.
Yamashita Kosuke, already scared witless, instantly collapsed to the floor.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"I'm sorry!"
Yamashita Kosuke slumped onto his own puddle of yellow stain.
Now he could only beg for mercy repeatedly.
He knew the power of Japanese Associations,
and he didn't want to disappear from this world after tonight.
So he could only make a final struggle!
"You damn bastard!"
Higashisho Ji said, and directly pulled Yamashita Kosuke onto the coffee table.
Fujiwara Shunsui seemed to have thought of something,
but he wasn't sure.
Yamashita Kosuke was practically half-lying on the coffee table.
Higashisho Ji straightened Yamashita Kosuke's right arm,
while stepping on Yamashita Kosuke's open palm with his left foot.
One look,
and the person behind him understood Higashisho Ji's meaning.
Fujiwara Shunsui, confirming his suspicion, quickly spoke to dissuade him:
"This person has little to do with me. I don't need his explanation."
Yamashita Kosuke seemed to understand what was about to happen,
and just kept begging,
and crying.
He looked at Nagasawa Kawa directly in front of him,
looking at this middle-aged man in his fifties,
tears had already blurred his eyes,
but he could still see Nagasawa Kyuichi in the other's brows.
The secretions on his face were indistinguishable now,
tears and snot mixed together.
Yamashita Kosuke would never have imagined that he, who was so arrogant just a few days ago,
was now being held down like a dead dog, unable to move.
Yamashita Kosuke continuously wailed and pleaded:
"Yamashita, save me."
"Aren't we best friends?"
"Yamashita, please save me."
He truly hoped that similar face could become his savior.
But at this moment, Higashisho Ji seemed to have made up his mind.
He took a sharp knife from the man behind him,
and coldly shouted at Yamashita Kosuke: "Don't move."
...Fujiwara Shunsui: ["Gangsters are really bloody! I can't stand it."]
Kojou Yuna: ["..."]
Fujiwara Shunsui: ["Can't you show some concern for me?"]
Kojou Yuna: ["If you're hospitalized, I'll visit you."]
Fujiwara Shunsui: ["Cold person, heartless person, the one who hurts my heart! (╥╯^╰╥)"]
Fujiwara Shunsui could completely foresee what would happen next.
It was nothing more than a few grand-sounding words to fob him off.
But he had already said it,
the Nagasawa Family's incompetence led to their own misjudgment.
This had absolutely nothing to do with him.
Even if they flayed Yamashita Kosuke alive now,
it would not affect his determination.
"Ah!!!"
Accompanied by a scream,
three blood-stained fingers neatly bid farewell to Yamashita Kosuke's right hand.
Higashisho Ji casually used the sharp knife to push these three fingers into a nearby trash can,
and Yamashita Kosuke was carried out by two people in the room like a dead pig.
Yamashita Kosuke occasionally let out a few whimpering sounds.
The intense pain and fear had already rendered him dazed,
and the sounds he made were more like human instincts.
Fujiwara Shunsui watched everything unfolding before him with a deep frown.
Although he was also a member of the Association,
this was the first time he had witnessed such a bloody scene since his transmigration.
He didn't know what Yamashita Kosuke would face next,
but he was clear that
the Nagasawa Family probably wouldn't let this young man off so easily.
Fujiwara Shunsui sighed internally:
"Alas, which expert said that Japanese people are humble and easygoing?"
Then Harumizu asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Higashisho-kun isn't just making me watch this play, is he?"
"This has no meaning for us!"
Fujiwara Shunsui put his phone in his pocket and met Higashisho Ji's stern gaze head-on.
Nagasawa Kawa, with a gloomy expression, saw Fujiwara Shunsui's displeasure,
and immediately spoke:
"Mr. Harumizu, we will show you our sincerity. This was indeed a mistake by our Nagasawa Family. Whatever compensation you desire, just name it."
"Compensation? Interesting."
Hearing Nagasawa Kawa speak up, Fujiwara Shunsui knew that half of his objective had been achieved.
Fujiwara Shunsui's gaze swept across the room,
but apart from Nagasawa Kawa and Higashisho Ji, the other few seemed somewhat unconvinced,
all glaring fiercely at Harumizu.
As if Fujiwara Shunsui dared to demand compensation,
they would pounce on him.
"I want the Nagasawa Family to withdraw from all nightlife businesses in Shinjuku, and all shares in their major nightclubs and KTVs to be transferred to the Sankou-gumi."
Fujiwara Shunsui had not even finished speaking,
when several of them immediately shouted: "Bastard, that's impossible!"
Instead, Higashisho Ji turned around and used his eyes to stop the person's further remarks.
Fujiwara Shunsui merely waved his hand casually:
"Difficult? Then don't do it!"
Fujiwara Shunsui clenched his right hand and exerted force,
smashing it directly onto the table in front of him.
A corner of the table shattered right before everyone's eyes.
Clearly, no one had expected Fujiwara Shunsui to suddenly act out,
making them uncomfortable.
"Today, I never intended to demand any compensation."
"To put it bluntly, I, Fujiwara Shunsui, want to go to war!"
"If you hadn't been so long-winded and wasted time, I would be home sleeping by now."
At this moment, all of Fujiwara Shunsui's 'martial general' attributes were in full force.
Are you kidding?
The coffee table in front of them was a marble top,
very expensive.
Even the sharp knife in Higashisho Ji's hand had only barely left a few scratches.
Yet Fujiwara Shunsui had actually shattered one corner with a single punch.
Now they should be able to understand firsthand
why Fujiwara Shunsui was called a 'martial general' by the various families and Associations!
"Fujiwara-kun, please calm your anger, we didn't mean that."
Nagasawa Kawa was clearly startled by Fujiwara Shunsui's outburst.
But Fujiwara Shunsui didn't care at all.
"You, you, you, and you."
Fujiwara Shunsui pointed at the others in the room, excluding Nagasawa Kawa and Higashisho Ji.
"All of you, come at me. If you can walk out of this room standing,
we'll call off the matter of Nissho Taro!"
A battle was imminent.
The other people in the room had long been unable to tolerate Fujiwara Shunsui's arrogant attitude,
especially since this was their territory,
and in front of their boss.
Just as both sides were about to act,
Higashisho Ji was the first to speak, stopping everyone,
and coldly admonished:
"Baka, Mr. Harumizu is our honored guest! Injuring Hishō-kun was also our problem, are you trying to rebel?"
Then he changed to another expression,
walking up to Fujiwara Shunsui with a smiling face and saying:
"Mr. Harumizu, my subordinates are ill-mannered, please calm down first."
Actually, in their eyes,
Fujiwara Shunsui's behavior at this very moment seemed more like something arranged by the Sankou-gumi.
And his demands confirmed this suspicion.
When saying this,
Higashisho Ji specifically glanced at the marble table corner that Harumizu had broken,
with only one question in his mind:
"Is this even human?"
Higashisho Ji continuously tried to soothe Fujiwara Shunsui's emotions.
Harumizu sat on the sofa like a god of war,
his tense body posture telling everyone present that
he alone
could make it so that no one could walk out standing.
These brief few minutes could be said to be the longest few minutes Nagasawa Kawa had experienced in years.
If he handed over the shares of the family's Shinjuku nightlife-related businesses,
his position within the family would likely be affected.
But if he didn't do so,
the entire family might be suppressed by the Sankou-gumi.
Getting beaten once,
and getting beaten every day, he could still distinguish between the two.
After a brief period of painful deliberation,
Nagasawa Kawa still agreed to Fujiwara Shunsui's demands.
"I, on behalf of the Nagasawa Family, accept your demands, sir."
Hearing Nagasawa Kawa say this,
Fujiwara Shunsui continued in a cold voice from the sofa:
"I need the Nagasawa Family to apologize in person to my subordinate, Nissho Taro!"
"You caused his right-hand finger to fracture, and this matter was originally a misunderstanding."
Fujiwara Shunsui just wanted a good, satisfying fight,
because he wanted to use this opportunity to understand the extent of his combat power in this world.
Of course,
he was certain that the other party would not dare to kill him.
But from the current situation,
they simply didn't dare to lay a hand on him... Giving up the shares in Shinjuku's nightlife businesses was already the biggest concession Nagasawa Kawa could make.
This was originally a means of cutting off an arm to save one's life,
and he might even lose his current family status due to this misguided decision.
However,
if he, representing the Nagasawa Family, bowed and apologized to a single member of the Sankou-gumi,
that would completely destroy his future.
Higashisho Ji noticed Nagasawa Kawa's hesitation and entanglement,
and stepped in to mediate:
"Can I apologize to Hishō-kun on behalf of the Nagasawa Family?"
At this point, Fujiwara Shunsui was getting a bit annoyed,
and turned to ask somewhat angrily:
"Is your surname Nagasawa? Can you represent the Nagasawa Family?"
Hearing Fujiwara Shunsui say this,
Higashisho Ji, instead, smiled with relief.
"Mr. Harumizu, you've misunderstood. Although my surname isn't Nagasawa, to some extent, I can represent the Nagasawa Family."
"We unconditionally accept the Sankou-gumi's demands."
"However, if Nagasawa-kun were to apologize in person, it would truly be a bit unreasonable."
"If you still harbor resentment."
At this point, Higashisho Ji paused slightly,
and it was this pause that made their gazes meet again.
Higashisho Ji faced Fujiwara Shunsui and extended his left hand,
then decisively grabbed his own left pinky finger with his right hand.
"Crack!"
Higashisho Ji let out a muffled groan and directly broke the pinky finger of his left hand.
This scene directly stunned everyone present,
including Fujiwara Shunsui and Nagasawa Kawa.
"I use this finger to apologize to Hishō-kun and the Sankou-gumi."
After speaking,
Higashisho Ji again fiercely broke his left ring finger.
Still a muffled groan,
Fujiwara Shunsui stared intently at Higashisho Ji,
clearly shocked by his ruthlessness.
"This finger is to apologize to you for our stupidity."
"Finally, we are willing to pay Hishō-kun twenty million Japanese yen as treatment fees."
"This is all the apology I can offer on behalf of the Nagasawa Family!"
"I hope you can accept it, Shunsui-kun!"
Higashisho Ji, enduring the intense pain of breaking two fingers, bowed deeply to Fujiwara Shunsui,
his attitude full of sincerity.
Fujiwara Shunsui looked at the thin man in front of him,
and a hint of admiration actually rose in his heart.
So he spoke, indicating:
"I accept!"
