Dragon 3: Tide of the Black Moon (1)

"No, the yakuza only existed from the Edo period onwards. Before that time, the eight Oki families were noble families, and in ancient Japan, commoners did not have surnames, while the mixed race had surnames, which in itself means that they were all nobles. In the past, the eight families of Oki served different monarchs, including the emperor, the shogunate, and the warring states, and the historical king of the ninja, Kotaro Kazamura, was a member of the eight families of Oki, and the head of the Kazamura family was called Kotaro Kazamura for generations." Genji said, "The yakuza gangs, in the beginning, were organizations of the weak, the kind of people who could decently earn money and live a rich life did not care about the yakuza. Originally the Yakuza were also disdained by the Yakuza until they lost their fields and estates in the change and could no longer afford to support themselves. So the original Yakuza family heads intervened in the yakuza, getting their hands dirty to make money, and they used the gift of the mixed race to establish their authority in the yakuza by force, sheltering the gangs formed by the poor, collecting their offerings and giving them protection. The identity of the Yakuza Yakuza as yakuza enforcers was established step by step from then, and it hasn't been many years since then."

"So what?" Caesar did not understand.

"I'm sure you know that Japan is a country that allows yakuza organizations to be registered by law because some of the yakuza gangs that have been around for ages are what the guilds were back then, organizations that the weak created to protect themselves. They were weak years ago, and most of them are still weak now. You can't understand the Japanese yakuza by just visiting this building. The real yakuza are in the corners and alleys where the lights don't shine, in the shadow of the society of the weak. The yakuza are not allowed to be in the world, but the yakuza cannot be eradicated, because there will always be humble, weak, and shady people in the world, who are ugly compared to those successful and good people, the lower class in society, but since there are upper-class people there must be lower class people, and among the lower class people breed the black organizations."

"Are you trying to say that the Serpentine Eight are the leaders of the weak?" Caesar said, "The yakuza so to make their position is not suspected of whitewashing, right?"

"Of course, we are not saviors, and we have no intention of leading the weak to build a society free of oppression; we are people who do business with the yakuza, and we take money from the club to coordinate the balance in the yakuza. But we are indeed the leaders of the underdog, that's true." Gen Wakizashi said, "Whenever many people mention the yakuza, they think of the kind of yakuza leaders who hold the power of life and death, who enjoy enchanting women, who casually shell out large amounts of cash to reward their subordinates, and who exterminate whoever they see displeased. But those who live at the bottom of the underworld are mostly weak people who can't enter mainstream society. The punks who go to the stores with their pocket knives to ask for protection money, many of them are children of single-parent families, children who have been expelled from school, and children who can't afford to go to college. And many of those women who show off in the nightclubs are single mothers, some have tasted the domestic violence of their fathers, and even been raped by their stepfather, in such women's views their bodies are not something precious, they do not think about their old seduced men can not do, they only live in the moment, they can only live in the moment. This is the society in the shadows."

"Can only live in the moment?" Caesar savored the words.

"That's why the Honka established a foundation to provide medical and pension insurance to these people and set up a hotline to facilitate their help." Genchisei continued, "The Japanese yakuza is maintained by the iron fist of the Honka; if someone tries to abuse force in the yakuza, he is immediately put on the Honka's purge list, and if the two sides clash in an armed fight beyond the limit, the Honka will step in to mediate, and those who refuse to accept the mediation are also put on the Honka's purge list. There are more than 100,000 registered gang members in Japan and millions of associated people. This society in the shadows is far larger than you can imagine, and in this society, everyone is used to speaking with violence. But the violence of the Honka family overrides them. If one day the eight Serpentine families were disbanded, there would be no more emperors in the yakuza, and a society without emperors would be a warring state, where everyone speaks with violence, and there is no telling how many people would die on the street fights, or how many women would be forced to sell their bodies or even their daughters."

"You have a man in China named Cao Cao, who was the greatest violent person at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he said," Gen Zhisheng looked Lu Mingfei in the eye, word for word, "'If there were no lone person in the world, I wonder how many people would be king and how many people would be emperor? '"

At this moment the wind suddenly blew his black trench coat, whirring like a big flag, this young yakuza family head emitted emperor-like majesty, and people can not help but look up.

"So I haven't made up my mind to crawl into my puddle, I can give up my position of power, but I can't shake the family's foundations for it." Genchiyo returned to the table and sat down, "Enough of this meaningless talk, you have no evening programs on your schedule, any ideas? The family has a regular box at the Kabuki Theater, the Inuyama family runs the Tamaozen Club which is known to have the most beautiful woman in Tokyo, a Turkish-style bath. Or maybe a trip to a Buddhist temple to offer incense for your mission tomorrow?"

Caesar slowly finished his glass of wine: "How come you suddenly stopped talking about it when it was so interesting? I'm not interested in any of what you're talking about, so why don't you lead us to the real Japanese yakuza you're talking about."

Genjisei frowned slightly, "Those are not the top places, I can't guarantee your safety in those places."

"We'll take care of our safety. I'm not interested in the best places either, the street corner taverns are the local specialty." Caesar shrugged, "We like the local yakuza."

Chu Zhang nodded, "That sounds like it would be interesting."

After a moment of contemplation, Minamoto Wakizashi pressed the intercom on his desk, "Sakura, prepare uniforms for the three VIPs and go to the liaison department and fetch a shuriken to tie in the Shinjuku district."

"Young master, the situation in Shinjuku tonight is very difficult," Sakura's voice was a bit hesitant, "the Numazu Crow Club and the Fire Hall group clashed, several hundred people gathered in Kabukicho, at any time, there may be gunfire, the old men from the strategy department divided into two groups to visit the Fire Hall group and the Numazu Crow Club, are trying to calm the situation, at this time you are not recommended and VIPs to approach Kabukicho."

"Isn't that just right? Let the ace commissioners of the Ministry see the real society in the shadow. As for security," Gensokyo said lightly, "if you can call yourself an ace in the secret party, are you afraid of street thugs with sticks?"

The fiery red Ferrari ff ran along the elevated highway, its large displacement engine roaring at a high pitch.
