Chapter 753 Worth It
In the brief silence, Chiba Ryuuji did not reply and looked to his side: "Miss Isamu, I'll leave it to you."
"It's absolutely foolproof."
Isamu didn't mind that he let him go and left calmly, not forgetting to take the bottle of Yamazaki on the table.
After the door closed, only Qianye and Huaishi were left in the silent luxury private room.
"Speaking of which, we have never had such an intimate conversation, Mr. Huai Zhi."
Chiba Ryuji took out another bottle of good wine, poured a glass for Huai Shi, and said with emotion: "Originally, I wanted to summon you to my command. I think we must have a lot in common. Unexpectedly, old man Sheng Tianmu took action a step earlier."
Huai Shi frowned in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Qianye Ryuji raised his wine glass to toast, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. He raised his sleeves and wiped the remaining wine from his beard, and said bluntly: "I appreciate you very much, even now, I appreciate you very much, because You are different from others."
"Thank you, Mr. Chiba."
Huai Shi replied: "If you recruit me, I won't have to do it. I have no idea of changing my family for the time being."
"Haha, it's not that bad. I don't like to steal people's favor. This kind of thing is just like the relationship between men and women. It's fair to do what you want and what to do. Besides, I don't have a daughter as beautiful as Lihua."
Qianye laughed, stood up, and motioned for Huai Shi to follow.
He walked to the window and pointed at the brilliant neon lights shining below.
Looking down from the highest point in Tamba Inner Circle.
"Have you seen it, Mr. Waishi, here is the Imperial Hotel, there is the Ochiai family's industry, there is the trading company of the Tenmu family... Well, there is also Jingtong Electronics that belongs to you, and there, it should be Waiji. Is the paper group ready? From here to there, this is the inner circle of Tamba."
His fingers turned and pointed elsewhere:
"I have a clothing factory here, an investment company here, below the Imperial Hotel, in the most prosperous place in Damba's inner circle, I have six stores... By the way, aren't you working on a fresh food market recently? I'm still at the pier. There’s a seafood company.”
As if showing off his billions in wealth, Chiba Ryuuji talked nonchalantly, and in the end, he told him: "You can choose any of these at will, just think of it as the compensation I give you."
Huai Shi was stunned and difficult to understand.
"I did not win the bet. In fact, if this was the alliance's decision, I had no choice but to comply. Why should you compensate me again?" He said: "I don't think there is any need to compensate."
"If you want to say it, how about just using it as a financial aid?"
Chiba Ryuuji shook his head and laughed, sipping the wine in his glass: "What you told Akasaki has been circulated in the alliance in the past two days. To be honest, I envy you very much, Waizhi."
He said softly: "I am very, very envious of you - no, it is not an exaggeration to say jealous, right? For me, you are so shining that it is an eyesore. If possible, I want it very much." Let you disappear from the inner circle of Tamba.”
In the reflection of the glass, the smile in Chiba Ryuuji's eyes gradually faded away, and his calmness was so calm that it made people cringe.
Maybe this is what Chiba Ryuuji really looks like.
When he broke free from the intoxication of alcohol and beauty, he became the ruler of Tamba's inner circle, bringing the former Chiba family back from the brink of destruction, and single-handedly achieving the rejuvenation of the Yakuza master.
But Huaishi remained calm, standing in front of the window, looking down at the night below. When he looked back, his expression became confused.
"I don't remember what taboo I violated, Mr. Chiba." He asked curiously, "Do you need me to apologize? Kneel down and sit down?"
Chiba Ryuuji asked: "If I say you want it, will you do it?"
"I will."
Huaishi replied: "Without any hesitation."
But Qianye was amused and shook his head slowly: "Mr. Huai Zhi, you are also a hypocrite... There is no need for that kind of superficial ceremony.
I have no reason to get rid of you. "
He raised his hand and patted the young man in front of him on the shoulder: "I know your ambitions and your purpose. I know that if you are allowed to grow bigger, it will shake the alliance's rule over the inner circle of Danbo in the future.
But it doesn't matter, I don't care. To be precise - neither I nor I think you can succeed. "
Chiba Ryuuji told him, "Because we've all tried the same thing as you."
Huai Shi was stunned on the spot.
"Did you know? I am forty-one years old this year, and I am in middle age, but sometimes women will have backaches after sleeping. If I get up in the middle of the night to pee too many times, I will miss the past, the body and strength of my youth. As. Envy those things that are young, bright, and able to shine..."
Chiba Ryuuji shook the ice cubes in the cup and sneered: "No matter how stupid I was when I was young - no matter how miserable the past was, when I look back now, I am still full of the so-called 'hope'."
He said, "We were like you now."
"The old man who was born in Tianmu once tried hard, and he was as embarrassed as a dog and disgraced, but he still failed in the end. I became a little smarter and chose to give up early. In the end, I tried my best and could only maintain a thousand The continuation of the Ye family.”
He smiled self-deprecatingly and looked at Huai Shi: "Drinking water, food, medical care and education... What you do is much more realistic than what I did back then, Mr. Huai Zhi, but from beginning to end, you ignored one issue - "
Chiba Ryuji stared into Huaishi's eyes and asked softly:
"——You want to make them better, but are they really willing?"
Huai Shi shook his head and answered without thinking: "Does anyone want to live in hell?"
Chiba smiled, "Then you go downstairs and ask those beautiful girls in the lobby. Tell them to stop being a prostitute. There is a stable job with a monthly salary of 50,000 yen for you. Do you think they will sneer at it?"
You go tell me, don’t be a Yakuza anymore, we can start over again... But where are there so many opportunities to start over in life? If you miss it, you miss it.
How can those who have been accustomed to theft, fraud, betrayal and violence since childhood return to normal order?
When they are forty or fifty years old, they feel old and realize that they have accomplished nothing. They will be afraid, regretful, and cry bitterly. But other than sweatshops, where else can take them in? Convenience store recruiters will look down on your tattoos and mixed race status.
When the time comes, except for this hell, which is the only place that will tolerate you, where can you go? "
"There are always people who wishfully think that as long as there is a chance, the world can become a good place. However, the world never lacks opportunities, right?
So why is it still so bad? "
In Huai Shi's silence, Qianye Ryuuji calmly told him: "Huai Zhi, even if you can give them countless opportunities, you can't stop people who are willing to fall.
Even if it is a short-term change, it will not be long before the true nature is revealed. When people get used to living in a lightless place, they can no longer leave the darkness..."
"Did you know? Before you, there was someone who worked as hard as you and was as hopeful." Chiba Ryuuji said: "That person's name is Kamishiro Mirai."
"Sacred City?" Huai Shi was stunned, suspecting that he heard wrongly: "The future of Sacred City?"
"Yes, Kamijo, the madman you know, Kamijo Mirai."
Chiba Ryuuji laughed mockingly: "It's funny, isn't it? The former savior now wants to tie the entire ethnic group to the chariot.
He once came to us, like you, thinking he could change everything and hoping we could help him. But we didn't.
We watched his struggle with cold eyes, watched his embarrassing appearance of failure, and finally watched him leave alone... His assets were swallowed up by his allies, his good intentions were betrayed by his supporters, and his hopes Trampled into clay by the very people he was trying to help.
From beginning to end, we faced no obstacles.
Because the inner circle of Danba is such a cruel place, it is like a living thing, it will kill everything that does not belong to it, and will change all those who want to change, including the future of Shencheng, Sheng Tianmu, and me and you.
This is something that cannot be changed by one person's efforts, nor can it be restored by the sacrifice of a group of people. "
As he spoke, Chiba Ryuuji raised his hand and pointed to the glorious city outside the French window.
"Look, Huai Zhi.
There is Kyoto Tower, here is Chuo Ward, and over there is the direction of Kiyomizuban, Ukyo, Sakyo, Higashiyama, Yamashina, Nishikyo, Shimokyo...
Look at how huge and glorious the world outside is.
If you look down from the sky, the so-called Tamba inner circle and Tamba area are such a narrow place. Compared with this city, they are as small as a trash can.
Regardless of whether we are high or low, we are all ants trying to survive here, prisoners imprisoned here. We are just the ‘King of the Infinite Universe’ in this fruit core. "
He turned his back to those brilliant lights, and his smile became self-deprecating and weird, "You want to gain power from the alliance and use it to change everything, but you are looking in the wrong direction - it has never been the alliance that rules Dambone. Circle, it is the inner circle of Danba that dominates the alliance!
And it won't accept the changes you want. "
In the long silence, Chiba Ryuji stared at the young man in front of him, but until the end, his determined eyes never changed.
No matter how shaken, shocked and hesitant.
"Thank you for your reminder and warning, Mr. Chiba."
Huai Shi replied calmly: "Even so, I will not give up."
"So, being young is great..."
Qianye shook his head and waved indifferently: "Waizhi, you can work hard, we will not stop you, but you will fail, everything you try will not succeed, and your efforts are meaningless.
Now, you can go. "
In the distance, the twelve o'clock bell rang.
Fanatic cheers sounded outside the box, celebrating the birth of a new generation of gambling kings. There were gorgeous fireworks rising into the sky outside the window, illuminating the young man's eyes.
It was like a fire was lit in the abyss.
"Mr. Chiba, maybe I will fail in the end, but I don't think my efforts will be in vain -"
Even though he knew the final outcome, he was still smiling: "No matter how much you pay, even if only one person can be saved, I believe it is worth it."
Just like that, he politely said goodbye and turned to leave.
The door is closed.
In the silence, Chiba Ryuuji didn't speak anymore. He just stared at the light in the distant night sky quietly, raised his head, and drank the last remaining wine.
