Chapter 566 Trip to Japan and Undercurrents in Hong Kong
King Tai walked over to the camel, handed him a cup of water, and said:
"Brother Luo, Lok and Big D are fighting. Big D is trying to take over the venue in Tsim Sha Tsui, and Lok is trying to stop him. The Wo Shing Wo is in complete chaos."
"Good! Good! Good!" Camel said three times in a row and laughed loudly. "Those two idiots, Lok and Big D, are actually fighting amongst themselves at this time. It's like heaven is helping us! When we land, Hung Hing's men will be watching Wo Luen Shing in Tsim Sha Tsui. Their headquarters will definitely be undefended. We can take down Hung Hing's headquarters in one fell swoop!"
Zuo Wang Tai nodded: "Master Luo is right! As long as we take down Hung Hing's headquarters and join forces with Big D to get rid of Prince, Han Bin and the like, even if Ye Haoxuan returns from Japan, it will be of no use!"
Camel patted Wang Tai on the shoulder: "Well said! Pass the word down and tell the brothers to get ready. As soon as we land at dawn tomorrow, we'll immediately assemble at the West District warehouse and head straight for the Hung Hing headquarters!"
"Understood!" King Tai responded and withdrew.
The camel stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the surging Mekong River, a sinister smile curling at the corner of its mouth.
Ye Haoxuan, do you think you can rest easy now that you've gone to Japan?
Do you think Ah Lok and Big D will help you? They'll only scheme against each other, while I'll reap the benefits!
Hung Hing's headquarters, its territory on Hong Kong Island, will soon be mine, Camel's!
......
On the way to the private airport, Ye Haoxuan called Tony and gave him instructions:
"On Hong Kong Island, keep a close eye on three things. First, the Camel smuggling boat. Have Han Bin guard the Western District pier. Don't fight it head-on, just stall it. Second, Big D. Tell the Prince that no matter how much he provokes you, don't respond. Ah Lok will keep him in check. Third, Hui Ling and Qiu Ti. Send a few elites to guard the entrance to their residence. Don't let anyone get close."
"Don't worry, Brother Xuan!" Tony bowed and agreed. "I'll send you a message every hour, there won't be any problems."
Ye Haoxuan nodded, then took out his mobile phone and called Luo Huiling first.
The voice on the other end of the phone was gentle yet tinged with worry: "Haoxuan, are we leaving yet?"
"Okay, we'll go to Repulse Bay Airport to catch a flight." Ye Haoxuan's voice softened. "You and Qiu Ti don't go out, eat on time, and wait for me to come back."
“Okay.” Luo Huiling paused, then added, “I packed a thick coat for you in your bag. Japan is cooler than Hong Kong, so remember to wear it. Also, I dried some dried tangerine peel in the side pocket. If you get airsick, take a piece.”
After hanging up, he called Qiu Ti again.
Qiu Ti's voice carried a hint of reproach, but couldn't hide her concern: "I know, I know. I'm relieved that Tachibana and Feng Yuxiu are with you. But remember, don't fight anyone head-on. If it's really too much, let them do it. You have to come back safely!"
Ye Haoxuan chuckled softly: "Don't worry, I promise you."
After hanging up the phone, Tachibana Masahito said:
“Brother Xuan, you may not know this, but Mr. Kusakari has respected you for a long time. Back when I was desperate in Japan, it was Mr. Kusakari who saved me. He values two things most in his life: brotherhood and the rules of the martial arts world.”
Ye Haoxuan looked up, gesturing for him to continue.
"In the years since Mr. Kusakari retired from the limelight, he has been keeping an eye on the Hong Kong underworld. He had long been aware that Hoshino Taro was causing trouble for Hung Hing, but due to the internal rules of the Yamada Group, he could not directly intervene. Later, you single-handedly stabilized Hung Hing, fought against Tung Sing and Wo Luen Shing, and even dared to confront Hoshino Taro head-on. Mr. Kusakari saw this courage and skill and respected you from the bottom of his heart."
Tachibana Masahito spoke sincerely, “His proposal of a marriage alliance was never a bargaining chip. He often said that marriage alliances among gangsters are not transactions, but rather a matter of mutual understanding. He wanted Nanako to meet you. If you get along, it will be a blessing for both families; if you don’t, he will never force you. The alliance between Hung Hing and the Yamada Group will still stand.”
Ye Haoxuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I used to think that he wanted to use Hung Hing to stabilize the Yamada Group."
“Mr. Kusakari can handle Hoshino Jiro’s power on his own; he doesn’t need Hung Hing’s help.” Tachibana Masahito shook his head. “He just thinks that Hung Hing and Yamada-gumi are both rule-abiding and loyal gangs. If they could join forces, they could deter those clowns and reduce violence in the underworld. He genuinely wants to be your friend and ally.”
Feng Yuxiu snorted coldly from the passenger seat: "Whether he's sincere or not, if anyone dares to touch Brother Xuan, I'll chop him up first."
Ye Haoxuan smiled and patted Feng Yuxiu on the shoulder: "There's no need for that. If Tachibana trusts Mr. Kusakari's character, then I trust him too."
After driving for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at Repulse Bay Private Airport.
The airport is small, surrounded by lush coconut groves. At the end of the runway, a silver private jet is parked. There are no markings on the fuselage, but it is understated yet exudes quality.
Several Yamada-gumi samurai dressed in black suits stood beside the plane. Upon seeing Ye Haoxuan and his group, they immediately bowed respectfully, their attitude respectful but not obsequious.
The leading samurai, named Yamamoto, was Kusakari Kazuo's personal bodyguard. He stepped forward and said:
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Tachibana, Mr. Feng, and Mr. Kusakari asked me to wait here. The plane is fully fueled, the flight path has been reported, and we will avoid all public monitoring points throughout the journey. We are expected to arrive at Tokyo's private airport in three hours."
Ye Haoxuan nodded without saying anything more, and boarded the plane with Tachibana Masahito and Feng Yuxiu.
The cabin interior is simply and calmly furnished, with leather sofas, a solid wood coffee table, and a wine cabinet in the corner displaying sake and whiskey, all from Kazuo Kusakari's collection.
Yamamoto handed over a warm towel and said softly, "Mr. Kusakari said that Mr. Ye had a long journey and specially prepared your favorite Pu'er tea, which is already brewed."
Ye Haoxuan took the towel, and he became increasingly clear that Kusakari Kazuo's respect was not just for show.
The plane taxied slowly and finally soared into the sky.
Ye Haoxuan leaned back on the sofa, looking out the window at the gradually shrinking coastline of Hong Kong Island, his eyes filled with longing.
Tachibana Masahito poured her a cup of Pu'er tea and placed it on the coffee table: "Brother Xuan, don't worry too much about Hong Kong Island. Prince and Han Bin are both seasoned veterans, and Tony is keeping a close eye on things. Camel and Big D can't cause much trouble."
“I’m not worried about their abilities, I’m worried about their character.” Ye Haoxuan picked up his teacup and took a sip. “Camel has been patient for so long, he must have a backup plan; Big D is impulsive, but he may have his own trump cards; Ah Le is too cunning, no one knows what he will do next.”
Feng Yuxiu sat opposite him, wiping his twin short swords, their blades gleaming coldly: "Who cares what trump cards or backup plans they have? When Brother Xuan comes back, we'll take care of them one by one."
Ye Haoxuan smiled and turned to look at Tachibana Masahito: "Miss Kusakari Nanako, you mentioned before that she wasn't a pampered young lady?"
