Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 279 Hiroshima, the Master of the Thieves' Guild
With this guaranteed, Kayako was no longer a threat.

However, could we find another way to actively utilize Kayako?

The terrifying talent to quickly become a ghost king simply by dying—if he were to use that talent to cultivate the path of ghost immortals, who knows what kind of state he would be in…

"It can be included in the alternative plan and we can consider trying it later. For now, let's mobilize manpower to control this mine well, so that no fools will step on it."

Louis nodded slightly; this was the most appropriate and prudent course of action at present.

Louis valued Kayako highly, considering her as a powerful being who, once dead, would be on par with him, and whose methods were unpredictable and difficult to deal with effectively. He made arrangements immediately.

Given Cano International's current strength in Japan, it's clearly not feasible to achieve comprehensive surveillance and covert control; this would inevitably require a considerable amount of money and manpower.

Therefore, they naturally relied on the help of some locals.

Fortunately, Louis's power, which was no less than that of the Japanese gods, had already been demonstrated before. After a series of arguments in the past few days, the upper echelons of Japan had barely reached a consensus and quickly granted Louis's request.

The shrine is under construction quickly and efficiently, various mystical forces are preparing to offer sacrifices, and even Kano International has received the green light...

It fully demonstrates the "friendly and kind" side of the Japanese people.

no way.

Louis may have fewer buffs stacked on him, but the quality of each one is top-notch!
Core members of American capitalists, a mysterious, god-like figure on the sidelines, and the mastermind behind massive foreign investment...

Even the worst investment leader among these individuals deserves their leniency, for no other reason than that the economy will truly suffer after the bubble bursts!

If someone is rich, then that person is your father. Oh, they were always your father, so it doesn't matter. Adding another layer won't hurt.

Soon, Kayako, who was living her gloomy life in a repetitive cycle, keenly noticed something unusual.

She seems to... find money all the time? And when she goes to buy discounted bento boxes, she often leaves behind some high-quality bento boxes?

Suddenly, life doesn't seem so unlucky anymore?
Kayako, who had just bought a discounted bento box and discounted cat food at a convenience store, surprisingly felt a little happy, something she hadn't experienced in a long time. However, she didn't attribute this good fortune to herself or to the heavens.

But...

"Thank you, Mr. Louis. The kind-hearted Mr. Louis is my lucky star. My luck has been so good ever since I met him."

Kayako sat at her dining table, looking at the steaming beef bento box, muttering to herself with her lips tightly pressed together and her eyes resolute, like a fanatical believer with some kind of conviction. The faint glow emanating from her in the dim light was chilling.

She then looked at the little black cat eating its food at her feet and said softly, "Little black cat, you should also thank Mr. Louis."

"Meow!" The little black cat's pupils widened, its meow became slightly sharp, and its fur stood on end, as if it had sensed some hidden danger.

It wasn't until Kayako turned around and started eating that I slowly relaxed and resumed eating my cat food heartily.

……

After setting up methods against Kayako.

Louis finally remembered that the person he had reserved for the head of the Thieves' Guild was Kikukawa Reiji.

Sitting in the chair, looking at Kikukawa Reiji, who had blond hair and a comical expression and didn't look like a policeman at all, Louis sighed, "Come on, introduce yourself."

Reiji Kikukawa promptly knelt down.

"Hi!"

He was extremely respectful and submissive, which was completely out of character for his usual slick manner.

"My name is Reiji Kikukawa, and I am..."

After a detailed explanation, Louis nodded.

Reiji Kikukawa, a local, had been involved in delinquent activities during his school years, but he never actually went astray. Instead, at his parents' request and because he was not inherently bad, he studied hard and eventually barely passed the police academy entrance exam.

He graduated with the lowest score and entered the police station of a certain town. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and perhaps he was never suited for the normal police career path.

Because he couldn't stand the classic AVI plot of a lewd middle-aged man coercing and stealing a beautiful girl, he beat him up. Unexpectedly, the lewd middle-aged man actually had a powerful background!
Well, in this situation, he naturally didn't fare well and was directly dismissed. Fortunately, his superior gave him a chance and decided to let him carry out a top-secret mission!
In other words—an undercover agent!
When he said this, Reiji Kikukawa's expression became somewhat strange.

No.

Not only him, but Louis's expression also looked somewhat strange.

The information at hand indicates that Reiji Kikukawa was not the first choice for this undercover mission. Many people had attempted this mission before, but none of them passed the test. Only Reiji Kikukawa has successfully passed the test so far…

As for that test...

Naked man, bondage, car hood, speeding, automatic car wash washing body...

"Good grief, a triple test, and they're even using the naked man thing? Are they trying to prepare you mentally beforehand?"

Kikukawa Reiji's lips turned down, and he was already bent forward in despair, with tears of dejection sliding down his cheeks.

Louis just found it funny.

He thought he probably understood why Kikukawa Reiji had been chosen as the head of the thieves' guild.

This guy is probably an unknown plot character, and most likely an important plot character in some comedy cop movie.

With his expressive face and seemingly lucky streak, he might just have a future where he's influential in both the legitimate and underworld circles...

It barely meets the requirements of the Thieves' Gate.

Having figured this out, Louis looked at Reiji Kikukawa and asked, "Would you be interested in working for me?"

They directly solicited business.

Reiji Kikukawa was overjoyed at first, but then became conflicted.

The man in front of him was no ordinary person. During his time in captivity, he had personally witnessed several people he had only seen on television come to greet him. Their attitudes were not exactly groveling, but they were certainly quite subservient.

This is why he knelt down without hesitation and told everyone what happened.

Logically speaking, being recruited by such a powerful figure is a great thing, a meteoric rise to the top. In Japan's rigid class system, countless people would be willing to pay any price for this chance to change their fate.

but……

Thinking of that mission, thinking of my codename, thinking of my goddess...

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't have that ability. I'm sorry."

Reiji Kikukawa chose to refuse.

At the same time, they lowered their heads and awaited the final judgment.

I knew I'd be punished for offending such an important person, like cutting off a finger in the yakuza world, maybe even drowning. Ugh, what am I going to do about this sudden regret...?

Reiji Kikukawa couldn't help but let his mind wander, and before he knew it, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

but.

"Haha, alright, get up."

What rang in his ears was Louis's hearty laughter, seemingly unconcerned.

Kikukawa Reiji breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.

Dealing with important people is terrifying; a single, casual remark can be fatal.

Louis looked at Reiji Kikukawa with appreciation, not angry at all. He was joking; who would get angry at a comedic character? There was no need for that.

Moreover, among the thousands of thieves and prostitutes, the Thieves' Sect is the most powerful in terms of martial arts, and also the strongest of the four sects.

The Thousand Gates are full of swindlers, both in the imperial court and the underworld, mainly for collecting funds; the Thieves Gate is full of robbers, from bandits and outlaws to petty thieves; the Beggars Gate is full of beasts, employing idle hands to collect intelligence; the Prostitutes Gate is full of prostitutes, collecting high-level intelligence to cover their tracks.

The reason for its establishment is to support armed forces.

However, in today's modern society, unless Louis wants to develop in war-torn regions such as the Middle East, large-scale armed forces are not very realistic.

However, dynamic organizations are different; they can be considered one of the most militant forms of the dark side of modern society.

Well, it's still not presentable.

But that depends on who ends up in their hands. In Japan, a country where yakuza are legal, coupled with Louis's status and power...

It will inevitably grow into a behemoth in the end, and may even become the third large-scale violent institution in the country besides the Self-Defense Forces and the police. Is it better to put such a force in the hands of someone with principles who can be controlled, or in the hands of someone who is ambitious and has no bottom line?
The answer is self-evident.

After all, Louis didn't want to ruin Japan.

This is a very valuable place.

"Have you ever considered that by becoming my subordinate, you could easily accomplish things that you previously struggled to achieve?"

"For example, the largest branch of the Kanto Association, which even extends its influence overseas, has branches in the United States and is destroyed."

"what?"

Kikukawa Reiji gasped in surprise, his eyes widening.

Yes!

How could I not have thought of that!
With that kind of power, I could easily complete the mission without breaking the agreement, and even reach the pinnacle of life. Then, the goddess would definitely agree to end our first time together...

Oh no! !
Now it's all ruined!
Can I still regret it? Surely I can, right? I can, right? Sir! Sir! Give me a chance!
Looking at Kikukawa Reiji's distorted expression and exaggerated facial expressions, Louis suddenly felt a little regretful. The reasons he had just come up with suddenly seemed unreliable.

Perhaps finding an ambitious person would work?

Anyway, I can control it...

After a while.

"From now on, you will be the leader of the Thieves' Guild, but I won't be giving you much help for now. Go and deal with the Sukiyashi Association on your own."

what?
Kikukawa Reiji stood there dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened.

The master of the Thieves' Guild?

Not offering help?

Solve it yourself?

Three words that seemed familiar yet felt utterly foreign swirled in his mind, turning it into a washing machine, spinning and spinning and spinning...

He didn't fully react until Louis threw out a page of a book that shone with golden light, which flew directly onto his forehead.

He ignored the comical character and figured he would adapt to reality soon enough once the thieves' traditions were in place.

He also has his own things to do; for example, he is now preparing to go to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

He has been in Japan for quite some time now, but various things have delayed him. However, he has not forgotten that this was his original goal when he came to Japan.

Next, we'll go to Hiroshima first, then Nagasaki.

Behind.

Reiji Kikukawa's eyes gradually changed as he received the inheritance.

The content is very interesting. The term "thief's guild" is not simply negative. There are also chivalrous thieves and even rules of loyalty and brotherhood within it.

Of course, it's mostly a negative word, because that's indeed the case.

Scams, robberies, bandits, thieves, robbers, outlaws...

Robin Hood, Empty-Handed Boy, Righteous Army...

On how to be a leader, seventy-two rules for a qualified leader, one hundred and eight precepts to prevent betrayal, how to build a stronghold, how to divide the rebel army, how to coordinate superiors and subordinates, how to intimidate subordinates, how to collude with officials, how to double-cross others, how to cultivate martial arts, how to master skills...

And most importantly, how to curry favor with your powerful backer!

"I understand everything!"

Reiji Kikukawa's eyes gleamed with astonishing wisdom!

……

Hiroshima.

Located on Honshu Island, this coastal city, once bombed by nuclear weapons, no longer bears any resemblance to its former self.

In fact, it only took five years for Hiroshima to get rid of the bombing and nuclear radiation. After all, the first-generation nuclear bomb had shortcomings in many aspects and was far inferior to the new, refined nuclear weapons of today.

Landing.

Louis and Carrie walked out from there.

As soon as he came out, Louis opened his arms; he could feel it.

I could smell a strong nuclear aura.

Nuclear Fiend is a special power born from lives lost in a nuclear explosion.

As the first places in the world where atomic bombs were first used, Hiroshima and Nagasaki suffered countless deaths and injuries. One can only imagine how large the amount of nuclear debris left behind by those who died in the atomic bombings was.

However, he had other concerns before coming, such as whether the nuclear energy had been worn down too much over the past fifty years.

It now seems that this concern is unnecessary.

Under Louis's gaze.

Hiroshima was filled with a pale golden aura. This nuclear energy was faint but omnipresent. Louis could feel the wonderful taste with just one breath, and his soul was slightly excited.

"What a blessed place!"

Louis even had a fleeting thought that it would be great if two more nuclear bombs were dropped.

Believe it or not, Louis really did have that ability.

Among nuclear powers, some are more deserving of the title than their actual strength. Given Louis's current capabilities, if he were to actually go, obtaining the nuclear button wouldn't be out of the question.

Theoretically speaking, Louis already possesses the power to destroy all of humanity.
However, he obviously wouldn't do that; that would be self-destructive.

Shaking his head, Louis carefully looked at the massive nuclear aura that filled his field of vision, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

With so much nuclear energy, it would be a waste of time to absorb it all by myself.

As Louis's thoughts raced...

Soon an idea popped into my head: it would be a good opportunity to test the results of my research on formations over the past few days.

"Let's go."

soon.

Louis and Carrie arrived at a hotel that had been prepared in advance, under the discreet protection of a group of people.

This place has been completely cleared out.

The facilities inside have also changed drastically.

All the modifications were carried out according to Louis's requirements.

Next, this will be Louis's retreat for a period of time.

"Inhale~ Exhale~"

Louis casually arranged a few items, and with each breath, magical power surged forth, transforming them into semi-magical artifacts.

hum! !

Accompanied by a soft hum, several semi-magical artifacts trembled slightly, shooting out beams of light that intertwined with each other. The moment they all connected, it seemed to trigger some special effect, instantly releasing a light screen that enveloped the entire inn.

The light screen immediately disappeared, and everything returned to normal.

"Carrie, please send these items to the east, south, west, north, and south of this city... all eight directions. Be careful not to bury them all in the ground; some of their properties don't match the earth's..."
