"Ah! That's great! Let's get her work out quickly and check it out first!"

"Now that we've settled everything, and I've settled the license through Senator Aokawa, you can all do your best in Yokohama! You are all my most valued students, and I believe you will do better than your teacher one day! Remember to give back to your family and set an example for your younger brothers when you've done well!" The old man with white hair and elaborate clothes was giving a lecture to three young men who kept nodding and nodding on the sofa in the lounge area, and his words were full of positive energy.

"Without the help of our teacher, how could we have our nightclub and casino? The teacher is as loving and great as a father in our hearts! There is nothing we can do for you, here is a lifetime honorary gold card of the nightclub, all consumption fees are free, please bring your friends when you are free to patronize, and we will arrange for the youngest girls to serve you! Do you still like sailor suits as much as before?" The leading guy among the students was full of gratitude and held a solid gold card on his knees in front of the teacher.

"What could be more gratifying to a teacher than to receive a gift from a student? You've grown up, you're the best of the best! I'm very pleased, but I can't accept this gold card ...... It's not that I'm not interested in sailor uniforms anymore, but I've been very strict with my mother lately. The teacher said if I love the sailor suit then she can also wear what the ...... "teacher flower white eyebrows a twitch.

"Everyone is ...... very energetic look," the corners of Lu Mingfei's eyes twitch, "is this the new generation of yakuza organization?"

"I should say the management organization of the yakuza. Genghis Khan's machine room stores the information of the entire Japanese yakuza, and all yakuza members are filed here. To manage this huge organization, the family has thirteen sections with over two thousand people working in shifts, and there are six hundred operators who answer calls for help from all over Japan around the clock, all of which come from yakuza members we identify." Sakura said, "You can think of this as the information center of the Japanese yakuza."

"A society built in the shadows," Caesar said, "where the first place yakuza people turn to in trouble is you guys and not the police, is that right?"

"Yes. All yakuza gangs that recognize the Yakuza Yakuza as a Honkai and pay regular dues are obligated by the Honkai to provide them with assistance. Young people who join these yakuza gangs receive an identity card along with their contract, which shows that the family recognizes their status in the yakuza and they can call the family directly to ask for help. Also, there is a foundation under the family that provides medical and pension insurance for everyone."

"And medical and social security?" Lu Mingfei marveled, "Such good treatment?"

"Most insurance companies are harsh when it comes to medical and pension insurance for yakuza practitioners, so the family has raised a fund of 160 billion yen to invest worldwide and use the dividends from the investments to provide benefits for the members of the association. The fund operates in the same manner as the Canadian Teachers' Retirement Fund. In the unfortunate event of the death of a member of the association, the family will also cover the tuition and living expenses of his children up to the age of eighteen."

"That makes me want to join too!" Lu Mingfei said.

"I can try to contact the human resources department for you in this regard, but the committee said that the family rarely hires foreigners." Sakura swiped her card to open the VIP view elevator, "Please."

The observation elevator went all the way up and Lu Mingfei could look down on the bustling scene through the iron-black glass curtain wall, a serpentine elevated highway looming between the skyscrapers of Shinjuku district with constant traffic flow, one of the elevated highways ran through Genji Heavy Industries. The fifth and sixth floors of this building are non-existent, replaced by highway tunnels where tens of thousands of vehicles pass through the interior of the building every day, while the other floors are completely unaffected.

"The building was nearing completion when the Tokyo Metropolitan Government decided to build that elevated highway, which had to pass through it. But after negotiations, the government couldn't accept the price offered by the Hongs and had to abandon its plans to demolish the building and instead signed a 100-year lease for the fifth and sixth floors of the building to build the elevated highway, while the floors above that were suspended and supported by load-bearing columns." Sakura said.

Caesar was also somewhat moved. With the financial power of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which had the money to build the incredibly costly elevated highway, but could not afford to buy this building, it was clear the staggering land value of this building and the status of the Serpentine Eight family in Japan.

"Is the structure stable with tens of thousands of tons of weight above six floors on twelve load-bearing columns? I've heard that Japan is a place where earthquakes and hurricanes are very serious." Chu Zhang said.
