Chapter 1690 1692 [A downcast phoenix is not as good as a chicken]
The failure of the competition for chairman this time caused the Duchuan group to suffer a lot.
On the one hand, the battle with the Kumamoto group and the Yamaken group resulted in the injury of a large number of team members, and the medical expenses alone cost a lot. Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, which weakened the strength of the Duchuan group.
On the one hand, it also controls several sites, which were taken away by rival gangs. Among them is Kabukicho, which has a lot of money and water. Several karaoke halls, dance halls, and clubs have been robbed, causing it to lose tens of millions of income every month.
In addition, this time the president dispute, because the Duchuan group was too active, it also put it on the police's key guardianship list.
All of its current activities are closely monitored by the police, forced to shrink back, and its movements are greatly restricted. As a result, it will naturally be more difficult to resist the oppression of opponents, and the territory of influence is gradually shrinking.
This made Taro Watagawa very ashamed and indignant.
Originally thought that he could become the president, in that case, even if there was a loss, he could make up for it. But now stealing chickens won't cost you a lot of rice, and after paying so much, it's all in vain. Of course, he is very upset.
For this reason, he also looked down upon the newly appointed president Hiroji Ikeda, secretly planning to find someone to kill him.
However, Ohtahara Shouzheng, the umbrella of the triad society, gathered them together and told them, "Since the candidate for the chairman has been announced, you all swear allegiance, and don't continue to fight any longer. Temporary victory or loss is not important. , keep your feet on the ground, try your best, and accumulate strength, so that you can have a long-lasting martial arts."
Hearing what he said, everyone nodded in unison.
The reason why the triads were not uprooted by the police is thanks to Mr. Otawara's asylum. So his words are like an imperial decree, and they have to obey them.
Otherwise, once the old man gets angry, it will not be a matter of killing people, and the entire triad society may be uprooted.
Although Taro Watanabe was a radical and refused to accept Hiroji Ikeda as the chairman, he had to temporarily turn off his fire in the face of the suppression of Shouzheng Ohtawara.
…
Xiang Nan also inquired about the news that the triad masters behind the scenes held a meeting with them and asked them to unite, tolerate, and stop fighting.
These news are actually not difficult to inquire about. Those yakuza were neither agents nor spies, and their mouths were not that strict. Moreover, Kabukicho is also full of inquiries, and you can always hear messy news from them.
But true and false, false and real, you must have the ability to distinguish.
Xiang Nan believes that this news should be true.
For Otawara Shouzheng, the triad society does not cause trouble, does not cause trouble, does not cause trouble, so let him worry less. And it is the best to give him filial piety on time and help him with some dirty things.
Some time ago, they fought so fiercely for the position of president, and it is time to stop now.
After all, now that public dissatisfaction is boiling, public opinion is in an uproar, and the police have also mobilized heavy troops, preparing to kill chickens to make an example to others. If they don't know how to restrain themselves, they will hit the gun.
Therefore, it is normal for him to mediate and let everyone calm down for a while.
However, he didn't want the triad to be so peaceful. After all, they are too peaceful, and the unlucky one is themselves.
He was the one who overthrew the Nakajima group and became an enemy of Taro Watagawa. The triads would not let him have a good time.
So Xiang Nan repeated his old tricks and killed one of the biggest opponents of the Duchuan group, Kumamoto Goro, the leader of the Kumamoto group.
After the accident, Watagawa Taro was naturally regarded as the number one suspect.
On the one hand, when he was competing for the position of chairman, he was the most violent, fighting with the Kumamoto group and the Yamaken group the most;
…
Taro Watagawa was extremely wronged.
He was unhappy with Kumamoto Goro and wanted to get rid of him, but he wouldn’t do it right after Mr. Otawara gave them a meeting. What’s the difference between that and hitting Mr. Otawara in the face?
No matter how radical he is, he will not do such a stupid thing.
However, the name of a person, the shadow of a tree. Watagawa Taro's fierce reputation has long been spread, and everyone knows that he is ruthless, fierce, and bold enough. Therefore, this time Kumamoto Goro's death was not his fault, and it should be counted on him.
Mr. Otawara is very dissatisfied with Watagawa Taro.
Because of the disputes in the past six months, he has been under a lot of pressure, so he asked the triads to unite, tolerate, and calm down.
This was simply a serious challenge to his power, so he immediately expressed dissatisfaction.
In addition, other branches are also very indignant, thinking that Taro Watagawa's indiscriminate killing is too much.
After all, no matter how much they fight, they are still from the same sect. It's too much to kill like this.
Because of the surging public opinion, the new president, Hiroji Ikeda, went downhill and immediately announced that Taro Watagawa would be kicked out of the gang.
As a result, Watagawa Taro lost the protection of the triad society, and immediately became a loner, and his power was immediately reduced.
Don’t talk about competing with the Sumitomo, Inagawa, Shochiku, and other gangs, even the Yamaken Group and the Kumamoto Group can’t match. After all, it is good to enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree, and there is a triad society behind him, and there is no one behind him.
Therefore, the Sumitomo Club, Shochiku Club, and Inagawa Club immediately began to compete for the territory of the Watagawa Group, and even the Yamaken Group, Kumamoto Group, and Oshima Group, which belonged to the same sect, did not spare it.
To make matters worse, after losing the protection of the organization, Duchuan and his son could no longer resist the police's investigation. Subsequently, Duchuan Taro and Duchuan Qianghei were investigated on suspicion of buying murder.
It turns out that although two years have passed, the police have not given up investigating the murder of Eguchi Tosei.
Gao Jie, the boss of the Tainan gang, had been biting his tongue all the time, saying that no one ordered him to do so, and that he was punished only because he was unwilling to be squeezed by Eguchi.
His purpose is naturally to keep Taro Watagawa, so that he has a chance to make a comeback. But now Taro Watagawa has been broken by the Triad Society. It is a down-and-out phoenix who is not as good as a chicken, and it is difficult to protect himself.
Under such circumstances, if Gao Jie persisted, he would be too stupid.
For a man like him, loyalty doesn't matter at all. Whether to betray or not depends only on the benefits and costs.
Now Taro Watagawa is finished, he doesn't want to die with him.
With Gao Jie's accusation and some other evidence, Duchuan and his son were finally found guilty and each received ten and eight years in prison.
After they were released from prison, the Duchuan group had long since become obsolete.
…
After solving the trouble of Duchuan Group, Ikeda Hiroji is ready to attack Xiang Nan.
On the one hand, he has just taken over as the president of the Triad Society and wants to establish his own authority. The best way is to get rid of Xiang Nan, avenge the Nakajima group, and give vent to the brothers;
On the one hand, although Xiang Nan can fight, he has no power after all, and he is not even considered a Japanese. Therefore, even if he dies, he will not cause too much trouble, and naturally he will become the best target for him to establish his prestige.
