Chapter 87 Competitors
Chapter 88: Rivals
"Haha, thank you for your thoughtfulness, Shoulang. Next, let's talk about the information of those competitors." After closing the notebook, I said to Shoulang lightly.

"Okay, Mr. Mingya, please wait a moment." A glimmer of light appeared in Shoulang's eyes. He knew that he had played the right card. For Mingya, who had just debuted, the higher the status, the more he could highlight his talent. Whether he killed people because of his own preferences or because he had to kill people, for Mingya now, status was everything. To be honest, if the conditions did not allow it, Shoulang even wanted to count all the tasks of other killers on this child who made him feel a little scared.

However, for me, everything about Shoulang was within my plan, but the card played by Shoulang really gave me a big gift. I have to say that this time both of us achieved a mutually profitable effect.

"Please look, Mr. Mingya, these are the information about the candidates in two days." As he said that, Skinny Wolf put a thick stack of papers in my hand.

Looking at the thickness of the paper in my hand, I frowned slightly. With so much information, there must be many competitors. So with the strength of Skinny Wolf, how much meat can he get from so many black forces?
"Thin Wolf. Just tell me a little bit. There's so much information and I don't know how long it will take to see it." I threw the information on the table beside me unhappily.

"Haha, Mr. Mingya, please don't be anxious. I will explain to you while demonstrating. The information at hand is only for you to look at when you need detailed content." Skinny Wolf smiled gentlemanly, then picked up the laptop again, opened the data and presented it in front of me.

"Mr. Mingya, please look, these are the people who will be attending the auction in two days." Shoulang clicked on a folder, which contained information about different people.

"First is the leader of Hokkaido. Naoki Ito." Skinny Wolf clicked on a picture of a ferocious-looking uncle on the screen, and soon, the information of this man named Naoki Ito appeared in front of me.

"Ito Naoki, also known as Cruel Cigar. 46 years old. One of the leaders of the underground black forces in Hokkaido, with his main sphere of influence in Sapporo. He used his cruel tactics to annex small forces in the region bit by bit. After years of hard work, he finally owned the black forces in most parts of Hokkaido. Prostitution and drug trafficking are all his business directions. He is the leader with the strongest economic strength."

"Haha, is this all the information?" I listened to Skinny Wolf's explanation with a slight smile on my face.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mingya, due to the other party's secret whereabouts, our spies have only obtained this much information." A trace of embarrassment appeared on Shoulang's face.

"It doesn't matter. Just know it roughly." I shrugged, then grabbed the information next to me, pointed out a part and asked Shoulang, "But why does his information have such a thick stack of paper?"

"Yes, in addition to Ito's personal information, it also contains some recently disclosed or exposed information about the forces he belongs to, as well as personnel information. I don't know what use these things will be to you, so I have revealed them all.

"Is that so... Well, go on." I casually scanned the information on the paper. I found that this person, apart from being ruthless, had no outstanding people around him. According to the information, he had almost no assassins under his command, all of them were mercenaries. Everything was won by economics and brute force.

"Next is the big brother from Sendai in the Tohoku region. Ishida Kenjiro." Skinny Wolf opened a new profile and continued to explain to me. "Ishida Kenjiro, also known as the Demon Fox, took over the business of his father Ishida Iwazan, and then relied on his own communication skills and extensive connections to get involved in the underworld and develop his business. He is 31 years old this year and is a real estate tycoon."

"Haha, quite interesting." I listened to Shoulang's explanation while looking at the information at hand. The photo on the paper showed a man with medium-length black hair, glasses, and sharp eyes.

"Mr. Mingya, I wonder what aspect of him you are interested in?"

"Ah, it's his social skills." I said contemptuously. Then I shook the information in my hand. "This information records that he just found the 32nd ranked 'Shadow Killer' and the 21st ranked 'Disillusionment' on the killer list. You have to know that there are a total of 100 rankings, and Japanese killers only account for less than one-fifth of them. He found two at once. This is not something that can be done by ordinary means."

"So, what should we do?" Skinny Wolf frowned. After all, he put everything he had on the line this time. If he failed or didn't achieve good results, he would most likely fall from grace, or even be swallowed up by other forces.

"Don't worry. I don't take these two little characters seriously." I threw the information aside with disdain. I said to the thin wolf easily.

"Well, then I'll have to trouble Mr. Mingya." Shoulang's eyes lit up when he heard what I said, and then he continued to explain to me.

"Next is the person in charge of the Kumamoto region in Kyushu. Yuko Ezaki."

"female?"

"Yes. Yuko Ezaki, 28 years old. Also known as the bloodthirsty demon flower. Originally the third daughter of a wealthy family, she was always bullied by her brothers in the family, but she herself was an uneasy time bomb, with immeasurable ambitions and means. She always wanted to have her own power to defeat her two brothers. During a trip, she was spotted by the local black leader. For her own ambition, she decided to marry the leader of the black power. But she asked him to give half of his power to her. Later, her husband died of illness and transferred all the power to her. But the rumor is that Yuko Ezaki killed her husband and then inherited all his power.

"Hmph, women have the most vicious hearts. Hiss!" Before I finished speaking, I felt a pain in my lower back. Turning back, Jingliu was looking at me with a smile. His hands did not stop moving, and continued to twist the tender flesh on my waist fiercely.

"Ah. I mean... such a woman is so hateful. My sister Jingliu is better. Misato, gentle, beautiful and generous." I hurriedly apologized with a smile.

"Haha, Bing, let's talk business with Mr. Shoulang first." Seeing that I gave in, Jingliu touched my head and said to me with a smile. "Okay. Ha.. Haha." The corners of my mouth twitched. I really had no way to deal with Jingliu's blatant teasing. I looked at Jingliu awkwardly, and then turned to Shoulang again. "What are the methods of this woman?" I looked at the woman with long blood-red hair and bloodthirsty eyes in the photo, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"She is very cruel. She will wipe out any small forces around her that even touch her authority. She also has a very twisted hobby. Torturing and killing. Especially children..."

"Ah? It looks like I'm in danger." A hint of amused smile lingered on the corner of my mouth.

"No, Mr. Mingya, you are joking." Shoulang smiled at my joke. Although his voice was unpleasant, from the conversation between Jingliu and me, Shoulang could see that facing such a competitor, this kid named Mingya did not take them seriously at all. Although I don't know where his confidence comes from, from the current situation, everything is not as bad as I thought.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Let's leave this woman alone for now. Is there anything else?" I put away my playful smile and continued to talk to the skinny wolf.

"Yes, there is another underworld figure in Osaka, Kansai. His name is Akano Yuichi. He is 28 years old. His nickname is Red Snake. He is a rising star in the underworld. He was originally a local boss with no reputation in Osaka. But he was lucky. When he went out to collect protection money, he accidentally met..."

"Soul-death..." I looked at the discolored, deathly photo on the paper and couldn't help but frown.

"...Yes, this Hunshang is an exiled killer who escaped from the FBI in the United States and came to Japan to hide temporarily. However, he was unfortunately attacked by the lurking FBI again in Japan and was seriously injured. Akano happened to pass by and rescued him. He hid him in his base. With this, Hunshang became a killer under Akano. It was precisely because of his joining that Akano began to climb up step by step from a small force like a local snake. From small companies to large companies, and then to family businesses, it took him eight years to bring the entire Kansai region's black forces into his own pocket. The reason is all because of the existence of Hunshang." Shoulang said nervously. "The above four are the biggest enemies in the auction, and the rest are less famous forces that cannot be brought to the table.

"This Akano Yuichi...haha, why does he look so similar to you?" I joked.

"All of this is thanks to the care of Mr. Liufeng and Mr. Mingya. I, Koga Manjin, would not be able to have the status I have today if it were not for Mr. Liufeng. I am afraid I would not be able to reach the scale I have today." When he said this, Shoulang's eyes were full of gratitude.

"I've been talking about others. Let me talk about you. Although I have cooperated with you for many years, I know nothing about you. If I don't know your strength, it will be difficult for me to make a proper judgment." At this point, my expression became serious. Indeed, although I have cooperated with Shoulang for many years, I never asked about his background. After all, we are just partners. But this time is different. We have to face multiple forces at the same time. If I don't know Shoulang inside and out, I can't implement my plan at all.

"I knew Mr. Mingya would ask this, so I have also prepared the outside world's information about me." Shoulang tapped the keyboard lightly, and asked the etiquette lady behind him to hand a piece of information to me.

"Koga Mankin, 31 years old. Nicknamed Skinny Wolf. He is a dark horse that emerged from Gunma Prefecture in the Kanto region. In eight years, he has grown from a small underground black market to now control 80% of the black forces in the entire Kanto region. Like the Scarlet Snake, he also has a super killer, Liufeng, by his side. However, it is rumored that Liufeng is not his subordinate, but the two have always maintained a cooperative relationship for mutual benefit and win-win results."

"Such important information has been leaked?" I said with some dissatisfaction. If others knew that our relationship was just a cooperation, then other forces would definitely search for my whereabouts, create obstacles for me, and prevent me from helping Skinny Wolf.

"Yes, because I did not restrict Mr. Liufeng, everything was completed according to Mr. Liufeng's own wishes, so there were some key tasks that Mr. Liufeng had not received. Over time, everyone became suspicious. So this statement spread." Skinny Wolf explained to me.

"...So, my brother's photo has also been circulated." I said coldly.

"No, it can't be considered as such. Let Mr. Mingya see it for himself." As he said that, Shoulang tapped the mouse again. A photo of me as an adult was clearly placed in front of me. It was a side view photo. Only half of my face. Of course, I was wearing a mask. In the photo, I was shooting at something. It should have been taken by the hidden electronic eye during the mission. Damn it.

"This photo was taken by a hidden electronic eye after Mr. Liu Feng completed an A-level mission. After learning about this, I immediately blocked the building where the electronic eye was located and killed all the related personnel to prevent the photo from being leaked. Of course, there are still some top figures who will get Mr. Liu Feng's photo. I'm sorry, Mr. Mingya, we really tried our best."

"It's okay, at least my brother is safe now, which means the photo hasn't been leaked too much. And my brother also has the habit of disguising himself, so there's no need to worry too much." Indeed, the photo incident was not Shoulang's responsibility. If I had been more careful, maybe the photo wouldn't have been leaked. As I spoke, I took off my silver mask. For the first time, I appeared in front of Shoulang in my own appearance, of course, a smaller version of myself.

"Huh? Mr. Mingya, what are you doing..." Skinny Wolf was obviously stunned by my actions.

"Since this photo has appeared, it proves that my mask is meaningless. Wearing it can only tell others that I have a relationship with Liu Feng. Taking it off will benefit both of us. After all, I know your background, so I have to show my sincerity, right?" I smiled evilly at the thin wolf. The clear purple pupils exuded an irresistible aura.

"Haha, since Mr. Mingya thinks highly of me, Skinny Wolf, I can't be stingy. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to tell you!"
