Yuhane Yukinoshita: "What the Hell? Did Chiba Commit Some Heavenly Crime?" / Pressure from Tokyo's Powerful Families; Bringing Chiba Prefecture Under Control ...
"I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Yukinoshita Haruno immediately stood up and walked to his high-end car parked outside. At the same time, he kept thinking about the information his mother had just revealed in his mind.
First, the Family, a powerful person in Tokyo, found Chiba Prefecture. Considering his experience in Tokyo, these high-ranking powerful people must not have come to visit in a friendly manner, otherwise his mother would not have contacted him in such a hurry to go back. Therefore, it can be initially guessed that the Family, a powerful person in Tokyo, plans to expand his power to Chiba Prefecture?
However, if it is just like this, it is not enough for his mother to use the words "The Family happened" to describe it. After all, even though he is a powerful person from Tokyo, the strong dragon does not suppress the local snakes. Yukinoshita Family, which has been operating in Chiba Prefecture for many years, plus other local wealthy families in Chiba Prefecture jointly boycott, it is difficult for external forces and industries to squeeze the living space of many local industries, so this matter is definitely not that simple.
Chapter 263: Yukinoshita Haruno: Damn it, did Chiba break the rules of heaven?
The second is the haunted area that Yukinoshita Family invested in the real estate industry not long ago. When thinking about this, Yukinoshita Haruno can't stop having a headache.
Originally, for some reason, there were rumors of being haunted in that area, and several ordinary people died, so that nearby residents began to move in large numbers out of fear. Yukinoshita Family, who has many businesses in the real estate industry, saw the right opportunity and took advantage of the low price to buy that piece of land in a good location.
According to the original plan, Yukinoshita Family planned to renovate this land after the haunting rumors passed. After all, there is no Remembrance on the Internet. A Nihility misty haunting rumor would disappear without a trace in a few months at most. As for the dead people, according to the police investigation, they were also judged to have committed suicide. No trace of the murderer was found at the scene, so even the potential risks were eliminated.
If nothing unexpected happened, this piece of land should have created a large amount of considerable income for the Yukinoshita Family. Even if something unexpected happened, there would be basically no losses.
However, after the Yukinoshita Family dispatched a construction team to start rebuilding the land, all kinds of weird things started happening.
First, there were rumors of hauntings in the construction team, and then many workers died accidentally on the construction site due to improper operations during work.
If the matter ends here, it will at most be an extension of the construction period and some compensation. However, the death of workers on the construction site has no intention of stopping as time goes by.
At first, there were deaths due to various accidents, but soon the deaths began to spread to the workers' dormitories on the construction site. Basically every night, workers would die inexplicably in the dormitories.
In less than a month, more than a dozen people died in the construction team. On average, one person died every other day.
Faced with such a strange situation, which construction team can withstand it? So the workers went on strike and the construction team ran away. While the issue of compensation for the deceased needed to be resolved, they also had to work hard to suppress what happened on the construction site to avoid negative impacts. All kinds of things made Yukinoshita Family very busy.
To be honest, Yukinoshita Family has not thought about solving the problems at the construction site. After all, with the development of things now, everyone can see that there may be real problems with this piece of land.
But no matter whether you go to the Chiba Prefecture police to intervene and see if there is any murderer lurking at the construction site, or you are simply superstitious and go to the masters and priests of various temples to do it, the result is of no use.
I didn't believe in evil and hired several brave construction teams to rework the work several times. Every time the work was reworked, people would die.
In the end, in order to prevent the matter from getting to a point where it could not be ended, Yukinoshita Family had no choice but to give up and put the land on hold. Not only was the money spent to purchase the land lost, but also the subsequent handling of various matters was spent one after another.
If Yukinoshita Family hadn't been a big industry player in Chiba Prefecture, if the Family had done this in an ordinary place, it would have gone bankrupt.
In a previous phone call with her mother, Yukinoshita Haruno mentioned whether something happened on that piece of land again, but her mother did not deny it.
So, could it be that someone died in that area again?
Yukinoshita Haruno, who had already sat in his car and started the car, let out a long sigh.
Tokyo has hit a wall one after another and lost all its money on the haunted land. In addition, Tokyo's powerful people suddenly visited Chiba Prefecture this time, and it is possible that they have bad intentions.
When everything went wrong, Yukinoshita Haruno felt a sigh of relief in his chest, but considering his family and sister, he stepped on the accelerator and drove back to Chiba Prefecture.
Chiba Prefecture, Yukinoshita Family.
Since it is not too far from Tokyo, Yukinoshita Haruno just drove for a few hours and returned home.
As soon as he entered the door, Yukinoshita Haruno saw his mother sitting on the seat in the living room with a serious face, while his father was also sitting carefully aside, with a frown on his face.
"Yangno, you are back."
Seeing Yukinoshita Haruno pushing in the door, Mother Yukinoshita, who had been waiting for a long time, nodded to him.
"So, Mother, what exactly is happening here in Chiba County right now?"
Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't wait to ask.
"Well, you can see for yourself."
Mother Yukinoshita picked up an invitation letter from the table in front of him and handed it to Yukinoshita Haruno.
"Invitation letter? Is it sent by a powerful person from Tokyo to us local families in Chiba Prefecture?"
Seeing what his mother handed over, and thinking of the information his mother had revealed on the previous phone call, Yukinoshita Haruno immediately guessed the origin of the invitation letter in front of her.
"Are you planning to invite all the local the Family in Chiba together, and then use methods such as intimidation or coercion to reduce resistance? But will this really not give us local the Family in Chiba a chance to join forces to fight against the situation?"
Logically speaking, even a powerful person from Tokyo should not be so arrogant. This kind of trick of treating guests with beheadings and accepting them as dogs will only work when one party's power has an overwhelming advantage over the other party.
But soon, with the invitation letter in hand from Yukinoshita Haruno, all the doubts were solved.
Just because on this invitation, there are rows of co-signs from various well-known dignitaries in Tokyo: The Family.
"Fujiwara Family, Shinomiya Family, Toyokawa Family, Suo Family..."
One after another, the signatures representing the major dignitaries in Tokyo, the Family, appeared on the invitation letter. Among them, Yukinoshita Haruno was at the forefront, and Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't count the names that he had tried hard to come into contact with in Tokyo a few days ago but was not qualified to come into contact with them.
Now, Yukinoshita Haruno knew why his mother was so anxious to call him back.
It is true that strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes, but in all the places in Chiba, the Family can barely be regarded as a snake if they are bundled together. However, there are far more than one dragon on the opposite side.
Damn it, are they, Yukinoshita Family, and the other the Familys in Chiba violating the rules of heaven? Now, the powerful people the Family on this invitation letter can influence the entire country Japan, to say the least, right?
"The time on the invitation is six o'clock tomorrow night, and the location is a large venue in Chiba Prefecture. Regarding whether we Yukinoshita Family should be invited, what does mother mean?"
"Go, must go."
Just listen to Mother Yukinoshita reply.
Based on the lineup on this invitation letter, Yukinoshita Family has to be invited to see the situation no matter what.
Although if you think about it, you will know that the people you will see when you go to the scene are probably not the heads of the major Tokyo powerful the Familys, but at most the representatives sent by these the Familys, but that is far from what Yukinoshita Family and other local the Familys in Chiba can afford to offend.
Chapter 264: Pressure from Tokyo's powerful people, incorporating Chiba Prefecture
In the evening of the next day, in Chiba Prefecture, a high-end venue was arranged in advance.
Many local the Family family heads and family members from Chiba Prefecture came here in their cars and carefully walked into the venue.
Obviously, facing the pressure from many powerful the Family in Tokyo, basically no the Family from a group of local the Family entrenched in Chiba Prefecture dared to ignore the invitation.
"It looks like everyone has arrived."
In the venue, Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at the time calmly and found that there were only the last few minutes left before the time on the invitation.
At this time, except for a few small the Familys from Chiba Prefecture who for some reason did not show up, all the other big and small the Familys from Chiba Prefecture were already at the venue.
The powerful representative from Tokyo who was sitting at the main seat of the venue was obviously paying attention to the time. Seeing that the hands on the clock had slowly reached the deadline, this powerful representative from Tokyo did not mean to talk nonsense and immediately stood up and came to the front of the crowd.
"Welcome everyone to attend this meeting. I am the powerful representative from Tokyo, Oko Shinomiya."
"The reason why I am visiting Chiba Prefecture this time is that I need to discuss something with everyone in Chiba Prefecture. Please consider it carefully and never refuse."
I just heard Oko Shinomiya speak with an indifferent expression. Although he said it was a discussion, his words and attitude were more like an order.
"Is he actually a big shot from the Shinomiya Family..."
Where Yukinoshita Family was, Yukinoshita Haruno spoke in a low voice.
"I just don't know what this person, who has gathered all the local dignitaries from the entire Chiba Prefecture here, wants to discuss."
Mother Yukinoshita also murmured to herself in a low voice at this moment. As the head of the Yukinoshita Family family, after listening to the ordinary words just now, she instinctively felt that what the other party wanted to discuss with the Chiba Family might not be a good thing.
At this time, many other Chiba families were also whispering in the venue. Everyone was thinking about what Shinomiya Huangguang, who was already an unattainable big shot in their eyes, and the many Tokyo dignitaries behind him, wanted them to do.
And Oko Shinomiya didn't mean to show off, and immediately waved his hand.
Immediately, the prepared staff distributed documents one by one to every representative of the Chiba Family.
However, many Chiba Family owners' faces instantly turned green when they looked at the contents of the document.
Just because what was handed to them at this moment was an asset transfer agreement.
"All Chiba Prefecture's local the Family and its the Family industries must cede more than 50% of their shares and hand over half of their management rights?"
There is a lot of content in the agreement, but in general it can be summarized as above.
With such outrageous content in the agreement, many Chiba Family family owners must have started to sue because they could not accept the lawsuit.
"With all due respect, Mr. Huang Guang, we cannot accept the contents of this agreement under any circumstances!"
The unconditional transfer of half of the shares and management rights of all the Family's industries is basically equivalent to the complete loss of sovereignty. In other words, once this agreement is signed, all local the Family in Chiba Prefecture will become vassals of Tokyo's powerful people and can only live by the faces of Tokyo's big shots.
And after paying such a high price, they got nothing. It is basically impossible for anyone except fools to voluntarily sign this agreement.
Oko Shinomiya naturally understands this truth, but his expression at the moment is still indifferent, and he does not take the opposition of the Family in his eyes at all, and even has a sneer on his face.
"The signing of the agreement follows the principle of voluntariness. It is up to you to decide whether to sign or not. If you are unwilling, you can naturally choose not to sign."
"But everyone who signed the invitation letter must have seen that Shinomiya Family is not the only one involved in the incorporation of Chiba Prefecture this time."
"If you sign this agreement now, you can still keep half of your property. If tonight passes, we will naturally have other means to absorb all the large-scale industries in Chiba County. We can also eliminate all the Family in Chiba County overnight."
"So please... please consider it carefully."
Threat, no doubt, this is a naked threat.
Hearing Oko Shinomiya's words, the faces of many Chiba Family representatives present turned dark, and they wanted to point at the robbers in front of them and curse. However, considering that the invitation letter previously sent to them to participate in this meeting was jointly signed by the Family, a top dignitary in Tokyo, they could only hold back their huge anger at this moment.
You must know that many of the powerful people the Family in that joint name can be said to span both business and government circles. There are top-notch plutocrats like Japan like Shinomiya Family, and there are also political figures with strong political background like Fujiwara Family.
If we really face the encirclement and suppression by so many powerful people in Tokyo, there is no doubt that a group of local the Family in Chiba Prefecture alone will have no room to resist.
Damn it, why did the big shots in Tokyo suddenly become so united? Why were they in Chiba Prefecture so unlucky to be on the dining table of those powerful families who can really influence Neon?
The atmosphere in the entire venue gradually fell silent. After weighing the pros and cons, most of the Chiba Family family owners sadly discovered that they seemed to have no way to resist in the face of the joint efforts of the big shots who really stood at the top of Japan.
Seeing that Oko Shinomiya still had the attitude of not caring whether they resisted or obeyed, slowly, some of the little the Family family heads began to lower their defenses, and finally began to slowly sign the agreement.
If there is one, there will be two. Just like that, half an hour later, all Chiba Family representatives present were forced to sign the agreement in front of them.
"Very good, it seems you have made a wise choice."
Seeing this scene, Oko Shinomiya nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, strictly speaking, an unconditional property and management rights transfer agreement signed in an individual's name does not have any legal effect and can basically only be used as a proof to express attitude and decision.
However, as the top dignitaries who stand at the top of the entire country and can truly influence the direction of the country, they are the makers of the rules. This is even more so after joining Lord An Xiu and joining forces in a true sense.
It is not difficult for the dignitaries under that lord to eat Chiba Prefecture, or even other areas around Tokyo. The current agreement is just to make their food look better, and also to give this group of country people outside Tokyo a chance.
As Oko Shinomiya said before, if the Chiba Family present today are unwilling to sign the agreement he gave and cede the sovereignty of Chiba County no matter what, then the methods of waiting for the Chiba Family will not be as gentle as they are now.
Chapter 265: Do local wild dogs deserve to be eaten on the table? Shinomiya Family's advice
The meeting to incorporate Chiba Prefecture was over. From the beginning to the end of the meeting, Oko Shinomiya, who was the representative of Chiba Prefecture this time, had no intention of showing his extraordinary power in front of many Chiba Family, let alone the idea of drawing these country people into the service of that adult.
After all, in the eyes of Oko Shinomiya and most of the powerful people in Tokyo, it is an extremely gracious act for a group of local country people to be incorporated by them while retaining certain assets. Do you want to truly join that adult and gain access to extraordinary power?
Sorry, you are not qualified.
Even in Tokyo, only those powerful and powerful people the Family are qualified to surrender to that Lord and become a member of that Lord's forces, let alone those outside Tokyo.
The order given to them by the Lord was to expand the power and control the entire Japan. In the case of Japan, which is not very big, too many members of the force will only make the whole group bloated. Therefore, from the very beginning, the powerful the Family in Tokyo had no intention of letting those local wild dogs eat on the table and reducing the purity of the power under the Lord.
Just like today's Chiba County, they don't mind using gentler means to incorporate obedient local families, and they don't mind using some force and means to disobedient local families.
Recalling the few Chiba Family who did not come to participate in the meeting today, Oko Shinomiya took out his mobile phone and sent the relevant list to the Fujiwara Family.
Wait until tomorrow... these the Family will definitely disappear.
After all, Fujiwara Family has certain authority and can mobilize Shadow Troopers under that lord.
Violence is always the most direct way to solve problems in this world, and this is especially true when supernatural violence is inflicted on ordinary people.
"Go back. Tomorrow we have to inventory the properties of those country people and send people to take over their properties."
Oko Shinomiya does not care about the property of the Chiba Family. All he cares about is the sovereignty of Chiba County. This is the task assigned by that gentleman.
Today's times have changed. In reality, as long as the property is enough, the only thing that can really determine the status of the many powerful people under Lord An Xiu is who can make more contributions to the Lord.
In the next few years, the world will gradually become more and more chaotic. At that time, the points that can be exchanged for extraordinary power from Lord An Xiu will be hard currency. Without enough power, you will just become a fat sheep waiting to be divided up.
Of course, you say that, but you still have to pretend. If you don't arrange everything before leaving, it will be bad if something goes wrong and Master An Xiu feels that they Shinomiya Family have neglected their duties.
Just like that, the next day, Chiba Family, who were still immersed in the haze, suddenly received the news that something happened to the Family who did not attend the meeting last night, and all the Family members disappeared overnight.
It means literally disappearing out of thin air, with no one alive or dead. It is said that the surveillance in the entire Chiba Prefecture has not been able to find any trace of these people. A few the Family numbered dozens of people. All of them left the surveillance range and disappeared into the shadows at a certain point, never to be seen again.
Such a strange situation is undoubtedly frightening. After all, there were nearly a hundred people, and they disappeared just like that. Moreover, even the police in Chiba Prefecture did not find any traces, and in the end they could only be collectively treated as missing.
All the Chiba Familys who participated in the meeting naturally knew that things were not that simple, but in this case, no the Family dared to take the risk and stand up.
