Chapter 64 64 Hakuto Forced to Live Off By Mooching
Waking up feeling refreshed, Hakuto stretched lazily. Checking the time, it was already past eight in the evening.
[I slept until now. How comfortable. Wouldn't it be great if every day I could wake up, eat, drink, have fun, and when tired, just go back to sleep?]
All the women: 'You're a pig, aren't you? Eat, then sleep, sleep, then eat!'
[Unfortunately, as a Transmigrator, I am destined to walk a path of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. After dealing with Aki Tomoya, I'll lie low and develop. Then, when I have the strength of a Super Chef, I'll kill my way back. Then, I'll hang all those people in the family from lamp posts. Take revenge for my grudges and settle scores for my grievances.]
After finishing his evening meal, Hakuto changed into dark clothes. Then he walked out the door.
Yukino and Mifuyu, next door to Hakuto, looked at each other. Then they secretly followed Hakuto out.
The Yamaguchi-gumi was the only yakuza organization near Hakuto's area. Based on Hakuto's understanding, the area around his apartment was Yamaguchi-gumi's territory.
Hakuto didn't remember having any conflict with the Yamaguchi-gumi. Yet they had sent people to try to cripple him for no reason. There was definitely someone behind it.
He just didn't know who did him this favor.
Walking along without encountering any obstacles, Hakuto quickly arrived at the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters.
The Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters was also the home of the Yamaguchi-gumi's leader, Yamaguchi Torikaze.
A two-story, self-built house.
There were Yamaguchi-gumi's members patrolling the entrance and the courtyard.
Hakuto walked directly to the entrance. Then he looked at the Yamaguchi-gumi's member on patrol.
"I want to see your boss."
Looking at Hakuto in front of him, a flash of surprise passed through the Yamaguchi-gumi's member's eyes as he saw him.
"Please, please wait a moment. I will go inform our boss right away."
Confusion appeared in Hakuto's eyes. Clearly, Hakuto had not expected them to be so agreeable. Hakuto even suspected that they were planning to call more people out to surround him.
Soon after, the other party came out. However, to Hakuto's surprise, they didn't call out more people. Instead, they respectfully invited Hakuto inside.
Hakuto was invited in. The scene Hakuto had imagined, where he would walk in and they would smash a cup as a signal, did not appear.
Hakuto was led into a study. There he saw the current Yamaguchi-gumi's leader, Yamaguchi Torikaze.
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. Upon seeing Hakuto, he spoke, "Please sit, sir."
"Yamaguchi, I am very surprised. I originally thought I would need to use some tricks to see you, or even to get the information I want from you."
"I am very sorry about what happened before. Please state any demands you have, sir. Within my ability, I will do my best to compensate you, sir."
Hakuto was very surprised.
"Then, first, tell me who had you take action against me. I don't believe I've ever offended you."
"It was a person named Yagami Kagetsu. They gave us ten million yen, so..." (T/N: The RAW name is Xiao Yan, but like usual, change to Japanese.)
'Yagami Kagetsu?'
Hakuto immediately laughed.
"Did this person come in person?"
"No. They contacted us by phone and directly transferred ten million yen to me."
A smile appeared on Hakuto's face.
"Then, can you tell me why you are so respectful?"
"Because you, sir, are a contractor. We ordinary people cannot fight against you."
Yamaguchi Torikaze lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Alright. Since that's the case, you should tell me how you plan to have me forgive you."
Yamaguchi Torikaze immediately said, "We will give you that ten million yen, sir. At the same time, I will personally compensate you with one hundred million yen, sir. Please forgive us."
A flicker of surprise appeared in Hakuto's eyes, 'Their sincerity was not insignificant. However...'
"I don't want the money. Are you interested in working for me?"
Yamaguchi Torikaze's expression changed slightly.
"Are you trying to take over the Yamaguchi-gumi, sir?"
"No. The Yamaguchi-gumi will still be yours. But when I need it, I will need your Yamaguchi-gumi to work for me."
"Of course, I am well aware that without benefits, even if you are willing to submit just because of this incident, you will definitely not be sincere."
However, before Hakuto could finish speaking, Yamaguchi Torikaze said to him, "Please, let us pledge our loyalty to you."
Hakuto: ???
Hakuto was dumbfounded. He hadn't even drawn the big pie yet, and the other party had already agreed?
"I really want to know what reason could make you agree before I even promised you any benefits."
Torikaze looked at Hakuto. "Because I believe that following you, the future of the Yamaguchi-gumi will surely be stronger and more glorious."
Torikaze said to Hakuto.
"What you say is very true. The future of the Yamaguchi-gumi will surely be glorious and become stronger. But before that, I want your loyalty!"
"We are willing to offer you our loyalty. Please allow me to perform the ceremony for you!"
Torikaze looked at Hakuto, extending a hand while taking a dagger from under the desk.
"Are you planning to cut off your little finger to swear loyalty to me?"
"Yes. Please allow me to pledge my loyalty to you!"
"I accept your loyalty. But I don't need this kind of barbaric ceremony. To be honest, I don't like this kind of barbaric ceremony. You understand, right? I am Han Chinese!"
"Of course. As you wish, Master."
"Call me Boss. I prefer you to address me that way."
"Certainly, no problem. Boss!"
"Then leave your contact information. When I need you, I will contact you."
Torikaze immediately handed a business card to Hakuto.
Hakuto took the business card and turned to leave.
After Hakuto left, Torikaze immediately collapsed into his chair.
Then, Torikaze quickly made a phone call.
"That gentleman has left. That gentleman asked our Yamaguchi-gumi to submit. Yes, the Yamaguchi-gumi has submitted to that gentleman. That gentleman had some suspicions, but in the end, he believed what I said."
After hanging up the phone, a bitter smile appeared on Torikaze's face.
'Shinomiya, Sawamura, Yukinoshita, Sakayanagi, Nakiri...'
'What had the Yamaguchi-gumi done to deserve being threatened by so many wealthy families!'
