The next day, morning——

Kyoto, Administrative Office——

In a certain room of the execution office, Hasegawa and the four cadres he brought to Kyoto gathered together.

"According to the information provided by the informant - the Blood Mists are very likely to have close ties with a local Yakuza group in Kyoto that calls itself the 'Big Buddha Clan'."

"This intelligence was verified last night - it is extremely credible."

Hasegawa's volume was not loud, but it was just enough for the cadres present to hear his voice clearly.

The four cadres all listened carefully, and even their breathing slowed down unconsciously.

"The 'Big Buddha Clan' is a powerful Yakuza group in Kyoto."

"Their leader, named 'Dabutsu Xun', was originally an ordinary gangster in Kyoto."

“After successfully forming the ‘Big Buddha Clan’, in order to show that I was different, I gave myself the surname ‘Big Buddha’.”

"According to our informants - they saw people suspected of being Shuichiro Shirakawa several times entering and exiting various strongholds such as casinos run by the 'Dabutsu Clan'."

Shirakawa Shuichiro: The name of the leader of the Blood Mist.

At this time, a certain cadre frowned and muttered:

"There is actually contact between the Blood Mists and the local Yakuza group in Kyoto... What are they going to do?"

"It's not surprising that they have contact." Hasegawa said calmly, "After all, they are the same species. They will only harm innocent people."

"As for why the Blood Mist Sect has contact with the 'Big Buddha Clan'... we can make a guess based on the current information - probably to use the 'sword' of the Blood Mist Sect to kill dissidents."

"Last night, I asked Shenshan for all the information related to the 'Big Buddha Clan' and read it carefully."

"In recent times, two Yakuza leaders and two businessmen have been unfortunately killed in Kyoto. Without exception, they were all killed with one knife."

"Without exception, these victims were all people who had had fierce disputes with the 'Big Buddha Clan'."

“The people from the Kyoto Administrative Office once investigated the ‘Dabutsu Clan’ because of this, but because they could not find any evidence of their murder, they had no choice but to drop the case.”

"If the 'Big Buddha Clan' cooperates with the Blood Mist Crowd and lets the Blood Mist Crowd help them kill people, then everything will be explained."

"The beasts of the Blood Mist all have good swordsmanship and rich experience in killing. It's easy for them to kill a few people."

"Of course, the above are just my guesses."

"In short - no matter what the purpose of this 'Big Buddha clan' is to associate with the Blood Mist people, what we have to do remains the same."

"From now on, pay close attention to every major stronghold of the 'Big Buddha Clan'. Remember not to alert the enemy."

"Those beasts of the Blood Mist probably don't know that we, the Huofu Thieves, have secretly arrived in Beijing to capture them - this is our biggest advantage at the moment."

"Yes!"*4

The four cadres responded in unison.

…

…

Kyoto, in a luxurious casino——

In a slightly dark room, a young man with double eyes held a knife in his arms, leaned against the wall behind him, and said in a lazy voice to the middle-aged man sitting directly opposite him:

"Mr. Big Buddha, why did you come to me suddenly?"

If Hasegawa were here, he would definitely be very excited to see this young man with hanging eyes - because this young man with hanging eyes is the leader of the Blood Mist that he has been looking for for a long time: Shuichiro Shirakawa.

There were only two people in the room at this time: Bai Chuan and a middle-aged man sitting directly opposite him, and the name of this middle-aged man was Daibutsu Xun.

He is the leader of the "Big Buddha Clan".

The Buddha didn't care about Bai Chuan's casual attitude. He just put his hands into his sleeves and said in a deep voice:

"Last night, my brother was arrested."

"Oh?" Bai Chuan raised his eyebrows, "Were you arrested? Were you arrested by the government?"

"No, he was caught by an old man."

"Old man?" Bai Chuan exclaimed in a low voice.

"I have found out clearly - yesterday, my stupid brother sneaked into an old man's house with the intention of stealing, but was caught by the old man. Late last night, my brother was tied up and sent to the prison.

"

"Then old man...is there any very powerful expert living at home?"

"No, as far as I know - the old man lives alone."

"...Big Buddha, can you let me tell you a truth that you may not like to hear?"

"Say it."

"Is your brother an idiot?" Bai Chuan let out a blatant sneer, "How can a young man not be able to fuck an old man?"

Regarding Baichuan's sneer at his younger brother, the Buddha not only did not show the slightest anger, but actually nodded:

"Well, you're right, I think so too - my brother is simply an idiot."

"What are you talking about? You don't want to rely on my help, you want to rely on your own strength to work hard."

"You may say so, but in the end, you will only do some sneaky things."

"It's just a matter of stealing. It's so spineless to steal an old man's house."

"I just stole the old man's house, but he was actually killed by an old man and sent to a prison."

Speaking of this, the Buddha felt his energy and blood rising, and his whole head was swollen. He couldn't help but raise his hands to knead his temples and eyebrows.

"So - is there a way to get your brother out of the prison?"

"It's impossible." Daibutsu's tone became even lower, with a hint of displeasure, "The one who is worshiped in Kyoto now is the Koshiyama Koshinosuke."

"He is a troublesome figure. It is simply impossible to force people out of prison while he is in power."

"It seems like this guy is a good official." Bai Chuan whistled.

"When the old man sent my brother to the prison, there were all the witnesses and material evidence, and my brother is a habitual criminal and has been to prison twice."

"If he goes to jail again this time...if he commits another crime and shows no repentance...my brother will have to stay in jail for at least 2 years this time..."

"Since there is no way to get your brother out of the prison, then just wait for more than two years until your brother comes out." Bai Chuan shrugged.

But just as he finished speaking, Bai Chuan suddenly seemed to realize something and paused:

"...Hey, Big Buddha. You suddenly called me over. Could it be that you want me to help you rob the prison?"

Baichuan quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"I won't do it."

"I'm not the executioner Ittousai. I don't have the ability to go against the government."

"Storming into the monastery and robbing people is no different than committing suicide."

"I'm not asking you to do what you've robbed." The Buddha said, "I also know that it's unrealistic to do what you've robbed."

"I came here to ask you to help my brother get revenge."

"Revenge?" Bai Chuan raised his eyebrows, "You mean...?"

The Buddha nodded with a fierce look in his eyes: "I want you to help me kill the old man who sent my brother to the monastery."

"Although my brother is stupid and incompetent, he is still my brother after all."

"He has been wronged. I cannot remain indifferent, otherwise my subordinates will look down on me."

"I can't afford to offend the execution office, so why can't I offend an old man?"

"Help me cut him into eight pieces... No! Ten pieces!"

"Do you want me to help kill an old man..." Bai Chuan picked his nostrils, "It feels like it's overkill... Are you really planning to let us Blood Mists go?"

"Why do you think I cooperate with you? Just to use your power to kill those who hinder me."

"There are basically no people among my subordinates who are good at killing people, so I'll leave it to you professionals to do this kind of thing."

"...Okay then." Bai Chuan stretched hard, "Anyway, you give me the money and I'll do the work."

"When it's done, I'll give you 10 taels."

"Only 10 taels?"

"I just asked you to kill an old man. Ten taels should be enough, right?"

"Forget it, 10 taels is just 10 taels."

"Don't be careless. Since that old man can send my brother to the prison, it means that he still has some abilities."

"No matter how capable he is, he's just an old man." Bai Chuan sneered, "I'll send four people there. If the old man can fight, can he beat four people? When do we take action?"

"How about tonight?"

"Then let's do it tonight."
