Originally, he thought that for the Yamaguchi-gumi in Japan, capturing a woman would be a piece of cake! Therefore, he had already bought a plane ticket to Japan for today! The thought of soon being able to pin Song Ying down and play with her to his heart only fueled his burning desire!
However, this flame was extinguished today by a bucket of cold water!
Harumi Yamaguchi, the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, called Chen Yifeng directly and told him that they could not touch Song Ying for the time being!
Because Song Ying is Gao Jianfei's woman!
"What? Yamaguchi-kun, are you messing with me?" Chen Yifeng spoke fluent English with Yamaguchi Harumo over the phone. "What is Gao Jianfei? Damn it! His woman? Ridiculous! He can barely protect himself, and you're still worried about him? Absurd!"
On the other end of the phone, Haruko Yamaguchi spoke calmly. “Mr. Chen Yifeng, please calm down. In fact, even our Yamaguchi-gumi can't touch Gao Jianfei for now, because he still has some value, some exploitable value. So, our Yamaguchi-gumi has come up with a win-win solution… a competition! You and Gao Jianfei will have a gambling king competition! The Song family wants to deal with Gao Jianfei, right? Our old friend Song Qian even called our Yamaguchi-gumi for help. So, let's have a competition! Our Yamaguchi-gumi will personally arrange the competition. You and Gao Jianfei can discuss the betting stakes. Also, Miss Song Ying can be included in the betting. So, if you, Mr. Chen Yifeng, defeat Gao Jianfei, then he'll be at your disposal! Besides, you can also win the heart of a beauty… Isn't that a win-win situation?”
As soon as the suggestion was made, Chen Yifeng's mind immediately started racing. Judging from Yamaguchi Haruko's tone, it was clear he wouldn't forcibly abduct Song Ying for him.
The Yamaguchi-gumi also wanted to use a match to determine who was stronger between him and Gao Jianfei!
"Fine... I have nothing to worry about. Now, I'm actually worried that Gao Jianfei won't dare gamble with me! His gambling skills aren't at my level! Playing with me? He'd be asking for trouble!" Chen Yifeng spat the toothpick from his mouth onto the ground. "As long as he dares to accept, I'll play with him!"
Chen Yifeng's mind raced instantly... Gao Jianfei? Gao Jin?
Chen Yifeng had studied Gao Jianfei's video recordings and knew that Gao Jianfei was most likely related to Gao Jin from back then! Therefore, Chen Yifeng had a premonition that if Gao Jianfei's gambling career went smoothly, then sooner or later, he and Gao Jianfei would be on opposing sides!
"Hmph! This kind of troublemaker is better nipped in the bud than allowed to grow! It's better to get rid of him now! Besides, since I'm the one who dealt with Gao Jianfei, the Taoist priests of the Qingcheng Sect will most likely reward me handsomely. Alright, that's settled!"
…… …… ……
Kagawa Masahiro's car had already reached the foot of a small mountain.
Nestled halfway up the mountain is a cluster of villas, which is the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi!
"Jianfei, please!"
Kagawa Masato got out of the car first and helped Gao Jianfei down.
The two went up the mountain together.
Along the way, there were naturally a large number of gunmen.
Unlike the gunmen at the Sakura Group's stronghold, the gunmen at the Yamaguchi Group's side were noticeably more aggressive, and there were far more of them!
Moreover, Gao Jianfei vaguely sensed that something rather dangerous was hidden in the big trees on both sides of the road!
Gao Jianfei couldn't help but look towards the canopies of some large trees.
Standing beside Gao Jianfei, Kagawa couldn't help but choke, finding Gao Jianfei even more unfathomable... You see, near the Yamaguchi-gumi's hideout, there weren't just gunmen, but also some beings even more terrifying than gunmen! And these beings were hidden among the dense branches of the big trees! And Gao Jianfei seemed to have sensed the aura of these powerful beings!
This shows that Gao Jianfei's perception ability is far too strong and too sharp!
Therefore, Kagawa Masahiro had to reassess Gao Jianfei's abilities even further! He felt deeply fortunate! If he had acted the moment he first met Gao Jianfei that night, the situation would have turned against the Yamaguchi-gumi!
Along the way, Gao Jianfei was led to the outside of a wooden house.
Outside the door, a row of bodyguards stood guard, and they all nodded and bowed respectfully when they saw Kagawa.
Then, several people came over and looked at Gao Jianfei's body!
Gao Jianfei's expression darkened slightly, and Kagawa Mashin immediately roared, "Baka! Get out! Mr. Jianfei is our honored guest, get out of the way!"
After saying that, he personally led Gao Jianfei into the wooden house.
Inside the wooden house, on the tatami mats, sat a sickly old man with his knees crossed, yet his brows exuded an imposing air. To his left and right sat several distinguished-looking middle-aged Japanese men.
Upon seeing Gao Jianfei enter, the middle-aged men on either side immediately stood up and bowed slightly to him.
The old man on the tatami mat, though not standing up, still waved politely, "Jianfei-kun! Hello, I am Yamaguchi Harumi, nice to meet you!"
Gao Jianfei's mind went blank for a moment... He felt it, the aura!
This old man definitely has an aura about him!
It was a feeling that was hard to describe. In short, for Gao Jianfei, it was like the feeling he had when he visited a martyrs' cemetery as a child!
I feel a bit heavy-hearted and depressed!
Gao Jianfei looked around and couldn't help but think... This is the whole of Asia, a terrifying underground force!
Chapter 328 I'll save you 10 years of your life!
Chapter 328 I'll save you 10 years of your life!
Previously, Gao Jianfei had attended a banquet at the Sakura Group's villa, which gave him a glimpse into the Japanese underground organization. At the time, Gao Jianfei thought... this Japanese underground organization was only comparable to Uncle Yao's forces in D City. However, after meeting these high-ranking members of the Yamaguchi-gumi today, as well as their leader, Yamaguchi Harumi, Gao Jianfei realized that their reputation was well-deserved! The top leaders of this leading Asian underground force truly possessed extraordinary bearing!
"Hello, Mr. Yamaguchi, it's a pleasure to meet you," Gao Jianfei said rather humbly. His tone was neither arrogant nor servile. Only a strongman like Gao Jianfei, possessing the aura of Chinese martial arts, would remain so calm when facing Yamaguchi Harumi, the leader of Asia's number one underground force!
Seeing Gao Jianfei's performance, Yamaguchi Haruko felt a pang of unease... "Hmm? This Gao Jianfei seems quite extraordinary! You know, when Chen Yifeng was at the height of his power, he seemed a little reserved when I first met him. But this Gao Jianfei has the demeanor of a great general! Could it be... that Gao Jianfei is indeed superior to Chen Yifeng?"
The two greeted each other politely, and then Gao Jianfei sat down in a spot under the tatami mat. It was a small table and a cushion, where one could only sit cross-legged. This posture made Gao Jianfei feel extremely awkward, but there was nothing he could do; when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
After they were seated, Yamaguchi Harumi didn't mention a word about having Gao Jianfei treat his illness, nor did he press for evidence regarding Nakamura Koji's true cause of death, nor did he mention the fight between Gao Jianfei and Chen Yifeng. Instead, he talked at length, introducing Gao Jianfei to some Japanese customs and traditions, and discussing some famous historical sites in China. During the conversation, Yamaguchi Harumi displayed an impressive breadth of knowledge; he even knew China's major mountains, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace like the back of his hand. This made Gao Jianfei admire Yamaguchi Harumi... This Japanese man had magnanimity! He possessed the "softness" that a leader should have.
After a brief conversation, Yamaguchi Harumo clapped his hands a few times. Immediately, a group of women dressed in kimonos, with sweet and charming appearances, and whose ages were definitely no more than 20, rushed out from behind the screen, carrying trays and respectfully placing dishes of food on small tables in front of each woman. These women were extremely humble, almost subservient, treating the men as their masters, their attentiveness bordering on the obsequious! They knelt as they placed the dishes and cups on the tables, not daring to raise their heads!
Gao Jianfei was deeply impressed. These Yamaguchi-gumi members really knew how to enjoy life!
“Jianfei-kun, this is your first time in Japan, so of course I have to extend my hospitality!” Yamaguchi Harumi poured himself a glass of wine, stood up, and held the glass in his hand. “Come on, Jianfei-kun, let’s have a drink!”
Soon, a woman poured Gao Jianfei a glass of wine. Gao Jianfei also stood up and toasted with Yamaguchi Haruko.
After sitting down, everyone ate, drank, and chatted casually.
A moment later, Yamaguchi Haruko clapped his hands again, and immediately, a large group of women emerged from behind the screen!
These women were all beautiful in various shapes and sizes, some extremely pure, some extremely dignified, some extremely cute... In short, none of these women had any trace of worldliness on their faces, and they didn't look like they belonged to the sex industry.
There were even a few women that Gao Jianfei felt looked familiar. It was as if he had seen them somewhere before.
Just as Jianfei was filled with doubt, Yamaguchi Harumi explained with a smile, "Jianfei-kun, these are some of the famous young singers and actors in Japan today. Since you've come all this way, I certainly wouldn't just randomly find some women to accompany you. Therefore... heh, Jianfei-kun, this is the female lead in 'One Litre of Tears'; um, this one became famous for 'Sweetheart Flight Attendant'; uh, her, do you see? She's very popular lately, her records sell very well across Asia..."
Gao Jianfei was horrified! The room was filled with some of Japan's top, most sought-after film and television stars, models, and singers!
No wonder Gao Jianfei felt that some of the women looked familiar. It turned out that when he was at home, he accompanied his girlfriend Chen Xian to watch some Japanese dramas on rented DVDs. Some of the actresses in those dramas were the same ones in front of him right now!
"Please choose a few female companions, Mr. Jianfei," Yamaguchi Harumi said nonchalantly.
Oh my god!
This is the sheer tyranny of the Yamaguchi-gumi! In Japan, they truly have absolute power! These big stars, the stars who are the center of attention, are actually treated as mere tools for entertainment!
They might have to drink with you, eat with you, and even do other things that cross moral boundaries!
That's awesome!
As expected, Yamaguchi Harumi added to Gao Jianfei, "Jianfei-kun, you can ask these women to do anything you can think of! Please don't hesitate! They wouldn't dare to resist! It's their honor to serve you, Jianfei-kun!"
"Hi! Mr. Jianfei, please take good care of us!" Over there, a group of very popular female celebrities in the entertainment industry were all bowing and nodding to Gao Jianfei in a very obsequious manner.
Gao Jianfei casually picked a well-known actor and a singer, and then, somewhat awkwardly, was served food by these two stunningly beautiful Japanese women.
However, Gao Jianfei hadn't considered that he would have to take them out for the night when the banquet ended late.
After a few rounds of drinks, perhaps Yamaguchi Harumo felt it was time to get down to business. He clapped his hands, and all the women in the room slowly retreated, kneeling on both knees.
"Jianfei-kun, I think Kagawa-kun has already told you the purpose of inviting you here today, hasn't he?" Yamaguchi Harumi smiled at Gao Jianfei with a somewhat veiled expression.
Gao Jianfei knew that the main event of the evening was about to begin. Therefore, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Well, everyone, regarding the cause of death of Mr. Nakamura Koji, the former leader of the Sakura Group, I have already stated that he was murdered. I have evidence, but it will take me a few days to obtain it, so please be patient. At this time, without the evidence in hand, I cannot accuse anyone of being the real mastermind."
"Hey! That's good, Mr. Jianfei. We're waiting for you to present your evidence! Mr. Nakamura is a loyal friend of our Yamaguchi-gumi. If we find the mastermind, we will make sure the murderer and his entire family disappear from this world!" Yamaguchi Harumi said casually.
Gao Jianfei smiled inwardly. It seemed Fujita Yujun was nearing his end. However, Gao Jianfei would personally deal with Fujita Yujun. In fact, if evidence proved that Nakamura Koji died at Fujita Yujun's hands, then Gao Jianfei could act without restraint, assassinating Fujita Yujun and all the high-ranking members of the Sakura Group! The Yamaguchi-gumi probably wouldn't pursue the matter further; after all, they were all going to die anyway, it didn't matter who killed them.
"Next, I'll examine Yamaguchi-kun's illness." Gao Jianfei smiled slightly and stood up.
"Cough cough..." Speaking of his illness, Yamaguchi Harumi coughed violently a few times, his face becoming even paler. However, at this moment, a hopeful emotion, a survival instinct, shone in his eyes. He stood up properly. "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Jianfei!"
Gao Jianfei smiled faintly, walked to the tatami mat, gestured for Yamaguchi Haruko to sit down, and then took Yamaguchi Haruko's pulse.
As Gao Jianfei took Yamaguchi Haruka's pulse, he suddenly felt the air in the room tighten. It was as if some ferocious, deadly king cobras had suddenly sprung into the room! A chilling, eerie atmosphere filled the air!
Gao Jianfei knew that it must be the bodyguards that Yamaguchi Haruka had secretly planted in the room, monitoring Gao Jianfei's every move! If Gao Jianfei did anything that was detrimental to Yamaguchi Haruka, then Gao Jianfei would be attacked by the group immediately!
Of course, Gao Jianfei couldn't possibly deal with Yamaguchi Harukoku. He was merely taking his pulse.
In fact, this area will almost certainly have a large number of level 5 missions! If Gao Jianfei has enough authority, then there will probably be no shortage of level 6 missions!
The Yamaguchi-gumi is a ruthless and heinous force that has taken far more innocent lives than the Sakura-gumi in Tokyo!
If you want to do tasks, you can get a bunch of them directly!
After that, destroying the Yamaguchi-gumi will grant you a massive amount of experience!
However, Gao Jianfei did not intend to do so.
Just kidding, this is the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Yamaguchi-gumi with hundreds of thousands of members, a terrifying force in Japan, a terrifying underground force in Asia. Gao Jianfei sees no need to mess with such a behemoth!
This isn't a question of being afraid or not. I'm only a few hundred thousand experience points away from becoming a Level 4 Exorcist. Taking down the higher-ups in the Sakura Group will level me up. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Focus on getting to Level 4 first, and don't be greedy.
Although Gao Jianfei is already very strong, fighting against the Yamaguchi-gumi is no different from fighting against most of Japan. This is not just a test of his individual combat ability, but also a test of his foundation!
For now, I'm not considering any missions related to the Yamaguchi-gumi! I'll think about it after I'm promoted to Level 4 Exorcist!
Moreover, the Yamaguchi-gumi is currently an organization that Gao Jianfei can utilize!
Let's all take advantage of each other!
After taking Yamaguchi Harumi's pulse for three minutes, Gao Jianfei had a thorough understanding of Yamaguchi Harumi's condition.
He nodded slightly, almost unconsciously.
Now, everyone in the room, not just Harumi Yamaguchi himself, was extremely nervous.
They were afraid that Gao Jianfei would simply say, "He's hopeless."
“Jianfei-kun, please tell the truth,” Yamaguchi Harumi said, trembling.
"Mr. Yamaguchi, it's late-stage lung cancer. Three-quarters of your lungs have been eroded by cancer cells, and they have almost no vitality left. Generally speaking, based on this trend, you only have about a year left to live," Gao Jianfei concluded.
Upon hearing this, a desperate, pale light appeared in Yamaguchi Harumi's eyes. His lips twitched a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He only felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
“However…” Gao Jianfei changed the subject. “I can use China’s miraculous acupuncture techniques, along with mysterious qigong therapy, to temporarily control the spread of cancer cells for you, Mr. Yamaguchi. I can’t guarantee anything else, but saving Mr. Yamaguchi’s life for 10 years is no problem!”
"Hiss!"
Harumi Yamaguchi trembled violently, "Jian...Jian...Jianfei-kun, you...you...you said...really...really?"
The dignified leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi is now looking at Gao Jianfei with the same eyes one would use to look at one's own parents!
