Chapter 118 Agree to the bet, Takiya gives a knife as a gift!
Familiar with the route.
After many days, Zhang Hao returned to the slightly old villa in Banqiao District.
The layout of the room had not been changed at all, which even made Zhang Hao wonder if Takiya Harukami had some obsessive-compulsive disorder?
“You’re here!”
"Yes, I'm coming!"
Not a creative opening at all.
Takiya Harukami pointed to the seat in front of the desk and motioned Zhang Hao to sit down.
He said, "Tanaka Kame knows about Kenichi's last move."
Zhang Hao was not too surprised. With so many people present that night, it would only take a few minutes for Tanaka Kame to hear the news.
Takitani Murakami said: "Kumiko should have told you about the relationship between me and Kame Tanaka. It is precisely because of that relationship that Kame Tanaka has turned a blind eye to the forces that the Harukami Society has arranged in Shinjuku District for so many years."
He paused and said, "But this time he called me."
He then laughed at himself: "My good brother hasn't called me in more than 20 years."
"During the phone call, Kame Tanaka stated his purpose directly. He hoped that the Harukami Society would withdraw from the territory of Shinjuku District. He also let it go as Kenichi rescued you."
Zhang Hao asked: "Does he know about our cooperation?"
Takiya Harukami said: "It doesn't matter whether we cooperate or not. The conflict between him and me is irreconcilable. It's normal for me to choose you."
Zhang Hao pressed on, "So you agreed? About the Harukami Club withdrawing from the Shinjuku area."
Ever since he saw Kenichi's appearance last time, he felt that he was a rare helper.
If Takiya Harukami agrees to Tanaka Kame's request, it will mean that he will lose the help he has just received.
Zhang Hao looked at the other person.
Ryutani Harukami leaned back slightly in his chair.
"If you want me to withdraw my personnel from Shinjuku District just because of what Kame Tanaka said, you are underestimating me."
"So what do you mean by calling me over here?"
Takiya Harukami said: "Tanaka Kame didn't seem to want to fight with me, but he didn't want my forces to exist in Shinjuku, so he made a bet with me."
Zhang Hao sensitively captured the information in Takiya's words.
"Why wouldn't Kame Tanaka want to have a conflict with you? Hasn't he annexed enough clubs recently?"
Takiya Harukami chuckled: "Harukami is not a soft persimmon! He wants to touch my people, he wants to arm wrestle with me, it's not a small fight."
Zhang Hao was shocked. Is the Haruaki Association so powerful? Compared with Shinjuku District, Sakabashi District has much fewer resources in all aspects!
This is indeed Zhang Hao's mistake in thinking about the Spring Festival Meeting.
Chunshang Club is also a leading presence in Banqiao District, and its strength is not inferior to others.
If there is a conflict with the Tanaka Group, Tanaka Kame will also have to consider his existence!
Not to mention the group of men that the Harukami-kai had deployed in Shinjuku district, who showed up that day and were all equipped with hot weapons. Just for this reason, the Tanaka Group would not be able to gain any advantage.
Although the clubs usually don’t show their cards in their fights, when it comes to a matter of life and death for a club, who would care?
Furthermore, if a conflict occurs, the main battlefield will be in Shinjuku District, and the Tanaka Group will be the most affected.
No matter how much the Shinjuku Ward Police Department turns a blind eye, if it comes to the level of a firefight with hot weapons, they will definitely take action.
Even if the Tanaka Group can wipe out Kenichi and his people in one fell swoop, will Harukami send reinforcements from Sakabashi District?
At that time, the two sides will be in a situation of fighting to the death, which is obviously a result that the Tanaka Group does not want to see at this stage.
Takiya Harukami said: "This bet is that in three days, everyone will compete in the VR world!"
Zhang Hao nodded. This was indeed a good idea. It could distinguish the winners without causing any social impact.
After all, in the virtual world, killing someone will at most result in the person being forced offline.
"What's the stakes?"
Takiya Harukami replied: "I lost. I will withdraw from Shinjuku District and will no longer interfere with any actions of the Tanaka Group, including the assassination of you."
"If I win, he will no longer interfere with any of the Harukami-kai's activities in Shinjuku, including its business activities."
The reason for this is that Harujou currently has no opportunities to engage in business in Shinjuku.
All bidding for commercial projects, including opening and selling of stores, were interfered with and suppressed by the Tanaka Group.
The purpose is to control the development of the Harukami Association in Shinjuku District.
Takiya Harukami continued, "Shinjuku is much more prosperous than Itabashi. If Harukami can enter it, the benefits will not be underestimated."
Zhang Hao was also an intelligent man. After hearing this, he already knew why Takiya Harukami had asked him to come over today.
In all likelihood, he hoped that he could help Harukami win this bet.
He asked directly: "So, what do I need to do?"
Takiya Harukami showed an approving look. He didn't expect Zhang Hao to agree so readily.
He said: "Let me first tell you how to bet!"
"The Harukami Society and the Tanaka Group will each send out fifty men. There will be no rules, just a street fight! The winner takes it all!"
Zhang Hao asked in confusion: "No rules?"
Takiya Harukami said: "It's not that there are no rules at all. There is only one rule, the rules of the martial arts world, neither side is allowed to show their weapons."
Zhang Hao knew this. The most taboo thing in a street fight is to show weapons. This is a rule that has been passed down for a long time.
This rule was originally designed to deal with the police. As long as you don't bring any weapons, the charges you get if you get arrested will be defined differently.
Moreover, at the beginning of the development of the society, the most valuable thing is people. When knives and robberies are used, casualties are inevitable, which is something that neither side wants to see.
However, as the island nation's control over social groups becomes increasingly strict, large-scale street fights are rarely seen now, and many issues are resolved at the negotiating table.
After all, community culture is also improving slowly.
This rule in the bet seems to be a tribute to tradition.
50 VS 50
Very orderly indeed!
Takiya Harukami continued, "I will send all 25 people from Kenichi's side. They are all elite troops, so you can rest assured."
Zhang Hao nodded. He had seen the people under Jianyi last time, and he could tell they were extraordinary just by looking at their aura.
"I will send the other twenty or so people from the headquarters. In order to prevent the other party from plotting, they are not elite forces. I will tell you this in advance."
Zhang Hao didn't think there was anything wrong with this arrangement.
If Takitani Harukami sent out all the elite troops at the headquarters in order to win the bet, leaving the headquarters' defenses unguarded and allowing the headquarters to be attacked, he would think that Takitani Harukami had lost his mind.
As expected, those in high positions are all meticulous, cunning and treacherous.
"No problem, I agree." Zhang Hao didn't waste any more words.
After Zhang Hao agreed, Takiya Harukami changed his previous sitting posture of leaning against the back of the chair.
He took out a bottle of fine whiskey from the wine cabinet in the room, poured two glasses, and pushed them in front of Zhang Hao.
“I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!”
Zhang Hao picked up the wine glass and drank it all. He knew that the other party truly recognized him!
After drinking, Zhang Hao did not stay any longer. He asked about the time of the bet and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Takiya Harukami looked at Zhang Hao's back, hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."
Zhang Hao stopped and turned around, wondering what the other party wanted to say.
Takiya Harukami slowly stood up from his chair and walked to the side.
It was only then that Zhang Hao noticed that the other person seemed to have a chronic disease in his legs, and when he walked, one leg was higher than the other, which was very inconvenient.
Takiya Harukami noticed Zhang Hao's gaze, patted Lao Han's leg, and said leisurely: "It seems that Jiu Meizi didn't tell you about this. There must be some price to pay for escaping from Tanaka Kame's ambush."
Zhang Hao suddenly realized.
It seems that it was not easy for Takigaya to escape from the Tanaka Group back then!
He must have been involved in a bloody battle, and the leg injury must have been caused at that time.
Zhang Hao looked away and saw Takiya Harukami walking to the knife rack in the room.
"Although I have never played that game, I know that unless you buy something in the game, you won't have it if you don't have it in real life."
Zhang Hao nodded. Didn’t Kisame Shichi originally want to take the Mercedes-Benz G500 from his game? That’s how they got to know each other.
Takiya Harukami took a Tang sword from the sword rack and stroked the blade.
The fierce cold light shows that it is not an ordinary item.
"then."
Takiya Harukami threw the Tang sword and its scabbard to Zhang Hao.
"This fine Tang sword made in your country is given to you! It will help you!"
Zhang Hao was puzzled: "Didn't they say we can't bring weapons?"
Takiya Harukami laughed and said, "When did I say that? The guy I'm talking about can't bring a gun! After all, this is a game, and traditional rules can be bent!"
Zhang Hao was speechless
It’s really easy to be led astray when talking with these big guys!
After putting away the Tang sword, Zhang Hao turned and left!
