Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 313 "313" Seeking Cooperation, Common Enemy

At this moment, in the Kusakari family mansion in Tokyo.

Kazuo Kusakari was also quite shocked when he heard the news: "What? Lin Yao was assassinated?"

“Yes, Father, although he didn’t say it himself, someone still told me!” Kusakari Akira nodded and said, “And the person who assassinated him was no ordinary person!”

Kazuo Kusakari frowned and said, "This Lin Yao has offended quite a few people. Do you know who did it?"

"The Continental Hotel in Osaka was built by the Taira family!" Kusakari Akira said directly. "As for the person behind it, that's beyond our ability to find out!"

"Holy crap!" Kazuo Kusakari's eyes widened immediately: "What grudge do you have that you would ask the Continental Hotel to help you?"

“Yes, and the Taira clan hasn’t succeeded yet!” Kusakari Akira shook his head and said, “Father, I think you should reconsider cooperating with this Hong Konger!”

Kazuo Kusakari immediately fell into deep thought.

You should know that he reached quite a few agreements with Lin Yao this time.

Even though this is a neon-lit place, he can still tear up the cooperation agreement at any time.

But if this gets out, the Yamada Group will be finished.

Japan is also influenced by the Chinese cultural sphere, and it values ​​this aspect quite a bit.

Even in chaotic Mexico, order is still necessary in this situation.

After weighing the pros and cons of breaking the cooperation agreement, Kazuo Kusakari shook his head and said, "No, we can't do that!"

Kusakari Ryo frowned and said, "But Father!"

“Our Yamada-gumi’s New York chapter has also secured a seat at the High Table.”

"Strictly speaking, this is also our business!"

"Alright, that's enough about this!" Kazuo Kusakari's tone became stern.

It seems they don't want to continue this topic.

After all, the New York Yamada Group had been outside his control for quite some time.

The better off the other party was, the more embarrassed Kusakari Kazuo felt.

Although the split of the New York Yamada-gumi was not caused by him.

When the New York Yamada-gumi was split up, Kazuo Kusakari was just a lowly underling doing odd jobs.

"Yes!" Kusakari Ryo didn't dare to argue and could only lower his head in agreement.

Kazuo Kusakari thought for a moment and said, "Alright, you don't need to worry about this anymore. You take care of your business, I'll handle the rest!"

Kusakari opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything and simply turned and left.

After Kusakari Akira left, Kusakari Kazuo took the initiative to call Lin Yao: "Mr. Lin, I heard you've run into some trouble recently. Do you need any help from our Yamada Group?"

Lin Yao was quite surprised to hear that Kusakari Kazuo had called, but considering that Shinjuku was also his territory, it wasn't strange that he knew about this!

However, Lin Yao still smiled and said to Kusakari Kazuo, "No need to compete, Mr. Kusakari, I can handle this kind of small matter!"

Kazuo Kusakari said in a serious tone, "But the other side is, after all, the High Table Association!"

Lin Yao was taken aback by Kusakari Kazuo's words, then smiled and said, "It seems Mr. Kusakari has a grudge against the High Table Association! Are you trying to take this opportunity to get revenge on them all?"

Kazuo Kusakari was surprised that Lin Yao could guess his thoughts and intentions just from his tone of voice. This guy was really terrifying.

However, if Kazuo Kusakari wants to regain control of the High Table in New York, cooperating with Yao Lin is the best option.

We need to at least control the mainland hotels in Japan before we can have the leverage to negotiate.

So Kazuo Kusakari bluntly stated, "That's right, Mr. Lin, I do want to cooperate with you to deal with the High Table! Surely you're not the kind of person who just takes a beating without fighting back, are you?"

Although Lin Yao knew about Kusakari Kazuo's attitude, he was still curious: "May I ask why?"

"The New York Yamada-gumi!" Kazuo Kusakari said helplessly, "Before I took power, when the fourth Yamada-gumi was still in office, the New York Yamada-gumi publicly declared its separation from the Yamada-gumi organization. They also obtained a seat from the High Table and became one of the twelve members of the No. 1 Table!"

Lin Yao was taken aback for a moment, then he suddenly realized.

No wonder Kazuo Kusakari was so concerned about this matter; it turns out it was an internal matter of the Yamada Group.

Lin Yao stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. Although the old Japanese devil Kusakari Kazuo was untrustworthy, it would be a different story if there was a common enemy.

"So Mr. Kusakari wants to cooperate with me?" Lin Yao asked tentatively.

Kazuo Kusakari said directly, "That's right, Mr. Hayashi!"

Lin Yao pondered for a moment and said, "I can't give you an answer right now!"

"Yes, please do it as soon as possible!" Kazuo Kusakari kindly reminded him, "The Taira clan's assassins didn't kill you, they definitely won't let this go, please be careful!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yao dialed Richard's number directly.

Leung Siu-tong is currently only responsible for local affairs in Hong Kong, so it's unrealistic to expect him to investigate intelligence of this level; he would have to rely on international intelligence brokers. Richard, however, is different; MI5 shares intelligence with organizations like the CIA.

Perhaps Richard can find something out.

"The High Table... Got it, boss, I have intelligence on the High Table!" Richard quickly found the information and said, "I'll fax it to you right away?"

"Sure, but I need detailed information about the New York Yamada Group and the Japanese Yamada Group. Please help me find them as well!" Lin Yao said after thinking for a moment.

"Understood, boss!" Richard said, then hung up the phone, turned on his computer, accessed MI5's intelligence site, and downloaded some data.

A moment later, it was sent directly to Lin Yao, who was far away in Japan, via fax.

After receiving the intelligence, Lin Yao also read it carefully.

In particular, the feud between the New York Yamada-gumi and the Japanese Yamada-gumi.

In short, the leader of the New York Yamada Group's branch felt that he was strong enough and there was no need for him to be controlled by the Japanese side. So, he took advantage of the opportunity to obtain a seat at the High Table Conference and made a high-profile break away from the Yamada Group in Japan.

This made the Yamada group lose face and was quite worried.

What if other places follow the example of the Yamada Group in America?
What if the Yamada Group, whose business spans the entire world, has other branches that follow suit?
That's why Kazuo Kusakari sought cooperation with Yao Lin.

After reviewing the information, Lin Yao stroked his chin and said, "The Yamada Group's operating methods are really interesting, but as expected, they capsized in the gutter!"

"The Yamada-gumi in New York is arguably one of the top powers in North America. Now that they have publicly broken away from the Japanese Yamada-gumi, it is a huge blow to both Kusakari Kazuo's prestige and his interests!"

"No wonder that old Japanese devil, Kazuo Kusakari, was so eager to get involved after he found out about this!"

Tian Yangsheng said with a smile, "Boss, if we had a local strongman to help us, things would be much easier!"

Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "Drive straight to the Kusakari family!"

The car arrived at Kazuo Kusakari's mansion, and Lin Yao explained his purpose directly.

Soon, Kusakari Ryo walked out with a gloomy face.

He acted as if someone owed him money, and he showed considerable hostility towards Lin Yao.

Lin Yao naturally wouldn't care about an adopted son like Kusakari Ryo, since he wasn't the heir to the Yamada Group.

Judging from Kazuo Kusakari's appearance, he probably wants to use his daughter to recruit a capable son-in-law who will then inherit everything from the Kusakari family.

Previously, Kazuo Kusakari had publicly tried to matchmake him with Nanako Kusakari.

This naturally provoked resistance from Kusakari Ryo, a beneficiary of the system: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, my father does not receive guests!"

Lin Yao said with a sneer, "Are you sure? Kazuo Kusakari called me yesterday and said he wanted to talk to me!"

Before Kusakari Ryo could speak, a disgruntled voice rang out: "Didn't I say? If Mr. Lin comes, let the distinguished guest see me directly!"

Kazuo Kusakari walked out and glared fiercely at Ryo Kusakari.

Kusakari Ryo was immediately filled with fear: "I'm sorry, Father, I didn't know..."

"Alright, you can go now!" Kazuo Kusakari said calmly.

He knew very well what his adopted son was thinking, and it was precisely because of his ideas that Kazuo Kusakari was preparing to choose a new successor for his Kusakari guild.

Even though Kazuo Kusakari had been training Ryo Kusakari for a long time.

"Hey!" Kusakari Ryo could only retreat in a disheveled state.

Kazuo Kusakari smiled and said to Lin Yao, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I'm sorry you had to see this!"

Lin Yao smiled and said, "I understand!"

"This way, please. We need to have a good talk!" Kazuo Kusakari smiled and gestured to Lin Yao in an inviting manner.

Upon entering the main hall of the Kusakari family home, Lin Yao noticed that Kusakari Kazuo was dressed in a rather traditional manner.

However, the interior decoration is still quite modern.

Lin Yao was most annoyed by the kneeling posture on the Japanese side; damn it, they imitated it so poorly it was a mess.

After sitting down on the sofa, Kazuo Kusakari had Cuban cigars and whiskey brought over.

After the two shared a drink and took a puff of their cigars, Lin Yaocai spoke up, "Mr. Kusakari, I don't understand why you're cooperating with me on this matter. This won't hurt the Yamada Group in New York, will it?"

Kazuo Kusakari didn't mince words: "I just want to use the Japan incident to show the High Table who really has influence in Japan! It's me, Kazuo Kusakari, the current leader of the Yamada-gumi, not some idiot in New York!"

"If I could, I wouldn't even mind destroying the Continental Hotel in Osaka!"

"Hiss!" Lin Yao looked at Kusakari Kazuo with surprise, not expecting that the two of them had the same idea.

However, Lin Yao remained calm and said, "Mr. Kusakari, to be honest, I find it hard to believe you! If you're colluding with the High Table, wouldn't I be in trouble?"
