♂?，，

  Hu Hua thought to himself, but on the surface he appeared very reluctant to respond to Li Peiji's words, and irritably said:

  "Is there anything else, President Li?"

  Li Peiji stood up, furrowed his brow and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, seemingly having a hard time making a decision. Just as he was hesitating, Miyata bowed slightly and carefully walked in, presenting him with a document adorned with cherry blossom patterns. Li Peiji's expression turned even more unsightly after taking a look at it.

  This is a notice from the Honda family! The tea party will be held on the Zhongyuan Festival, which is one week later, and he can only bring four people with him! The Zhongyuan Festival is on July 15th every year. It's also called "Obon Festival", it's a day when Japanese people worship their ancestors, so this day is considered as "Ghost Festival". Shops have big discounts during the Obon Festival. Temples have high-ranking monks reciting sutras to help the spirits of the dead for 49 days, lighting lanterns for ghosts, burning paper money to guide the way for ghosts, and performing Bon Odori dance to help the spirits of the dead. The Honda family has scheduled the tea party on this day, if you think about it carefully, it really has a bit of eerie atmosphere.

  If this formal notice had been delivered five minutes earlier, Li Peiji would have been overjoyed, but now he had doubts in his heart - and it was a matter of life and death! So naturally, he felt that there were hidden dangers everywhere.

  Li Peiji suddenly waved his hand and irritably ordered the secretary beside him:

  "Get out and close the door on your way!"

  The beautiful secretary was shocked and turned pale, thinking she had done something wrong, and repeatedly bowed and trembled with fear.

  "Dogs are selling Lhasa, dogs are selling Lhasa...... (Sorry sorry)"

  "Get out!" Li Peiji picked up the ashtray beside him. The secretary hastily rushed out with tears in her eyes. At this time, he closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, and calmly said:

  "The soundproofing in this office is very good, so what we say next won't be heard by a fourth person."

  Hu Hua Hao said impatiently:

  "Spit it out already!"

  Li Peiji's face sank, but he still endured and said slowly:

  "Although their identities have been analyzed and researched by experts without any doubt or problem, I still have a feeling that the two should not be Japanese."

  Fang Lin's pupils suddenly contracted, but a smile spread across his face:

  The boss laughed and said.

  "I don't like to joke around." Li Peiji said coldly, "I've taken note that you two have eaten three meals in the building, some Japanese dishes that people usually like, such as natto and sashimi, but neither of you seem interested. Instead, you both seem to have a special fondness for Chinese food. And just now, the kitchen reported that Mr. Lei was very particular about the food they made, personally going into the kitchen to stir-fry a dish with strong Chinese flavor, the braised pork belly, and it tasted extremely authentic. I think, you two should be Chinese, right?"

  Fang Lin glanced at Hu Hua Hao, who looked very embarrassed and turned his head to the side. Fang Lin, however, spoke very frankly:

  "Yes, we are Chinese, but we don't have any malicious intentions towards you, President. As for our background, it's not convenient to say too much."

  "I know you don't have any ill intentions towards me, otherwise you wouldn't have left the two of us alone to discuss this in private." Li Peiji's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he spoke word by word: "Actually, I have another identity - I am a Chinese member of the American Hung Mun society, and my goal is to lay the groundwork for the Hung Mun to enter Japan's underworld!"

  Fang Lin and the other person had long known his true identity, so it was no surprise that they said this, but they still deliberately showed a look of shock on their faces! Fang Lin took a deep breath and said:

  "What... is your proof?"

  A cold glint flashed in Li Peiji's eyes:

  "If others want to kill me, I won't just sit and wait for death! Mr. Lin's words were right at the beginning - people don't intend to hurt tigers, but tigers have a mind to hurt people. Being prepared is always better than not. Now that our family is dominant in Nara, we should be able to get the headquarters' attention. I will apply for more personnel to be dispatched as soon as possible. Moreover, among the seven major temples in Nara's southern capital, Yakushiji Temple, Gangōji Temple, Tōshōdaiji Temple, Tōdaiji Temple, and Hōryūji Temple, these five major temples also have many complaints about Kasuga Taisha Shrine. We can borrow their power to form a balanced force. I need capable people like you two to stay and help me, the reward will be whatever you both want."

  "I'd still like to see the evidence before discussing anything else," Fang Lin said in a low voice. "I'm a very pragmatic person, I won't blindly step into a situation that's doomed to fail! I do love money, but I also need to have my life to spend it, don't I?"

  "Very good." Li Peiji smiled instead: "I like this kind of astute person who can give an accurate answer within an hour."

  It is clear that Li Peiji was also a punctual person, his reply arrived exactly twenty-three minutes later.

  "Headquarters has promised to send a large number of personnel to assist, striving to form a balance with the Honda family. In view of the existence of Edmund Honda, a powerful figure, headquarters will take targeted measures according to the situation."

  With a confident air, Li Peiji puffed on his thick cigar, looking particularly composed.

  "What about you two? Two days later, the first batch of personnel from headquarters will secretly infiltrate. Will you agree to my previous proposal?"

  Fang Lin and Hu Hua Hao exchanged a glance, Fang Lin stretched out his hand and said sincerely:

  "Deal."

  Li Peiji burst out laughing and tossed over two unassuming-looking hairpins:

  "This is our Hung Mun internal identification, we have it ready, in the future if you encounter a fellow Hung Mun member, you can use this to ask for help."

  Fang Lin and Hu Hua Hao got this brooch in hand, but together received a string of prompts:

  "After obtaining the Hung Mun's secret, (Taiwan) Li Gui She's favorability will be automatically replaced with Hung Mun's favorability."

  "Hongmen's current affinity is Friendly 1943/3000. (1633 is the current affinity, 3000 is the affinity required to reach the next relationship)"

  "You can seek the assistance of this organization in the nightmare world where the Hongmen exists, accept tasks related to the Hongmen, and when the favorability is raised to a level above reverence, purchase special weapons, equipment props, and skill scrolls at a preferential price."

  "Obtained special item: Level 1 Hongmen Badge. Maximum stamina increased by 50 points. Can be worn on any part of the body."

  "This special item will be upgraded as the favorability of the Hung Mun increases."

  His heart was filled with excitement, this needle directly increased his physical strength by 50 points, equivalent to having an additional five points of physical strength. Although it didn't bring out any defensive bonuses from the increase in physical strength, it could at least give his impoverished self a bit more security. He suddenly had an idea and said:

  "Does the president have anything he wants us to take care of?"

  Li Peiji hesitated for a moment before responding readily:

  "I have already invited two other high-ranking monks from Yakushiji Temple to reside here and chant sutras, in order to help the spirits of those who died in the disaster. Once they arrive, you two can go ask about Mototada's situation. The current situation outside is complicated, and I believe there are many places where your skills will be needed."

  Hu Hua heard the scolding and said that this guy was hypocritical, fearing death and finding a monk from Yao Shi Temple to be his thug, and beautifying it as chanting scriptures for salvation! Fang Lin, on the other hand, was a serious Taoist.

  "The boss is really thoughtful, even the dead would be deeply grateful."

  This guy spoke with utmost sincerity, and it was impossible to hear any other meaning, it can be seen that his acting skills have reached the level of perfection. Hu Hua Hao stared at him for a moment, and the two sat down slowly sipping their coffee. Before long, monks from Yao Shi Temple and Yuan Xing Temple arrived one after another, surrounding Li Pei Ji's office in a circle. Fang Lin's current strength was not enough to be compared with, but Hu Hua Hao was a ruthless killer, and his level of demonic seal was at least three times higher than Fang Lin's. He immediately felt the powerful threat of the formation laid out by these monks. The fine hairs on the back of his neck were soaked in an eerie cold air, and he couldn't help but stand up involuntarily!

  Two people quickly passed through the group of Japanese monks, and the pressure around them was greatly reduced. These monks were highly cultivated but devout religious believers, and they naturally had some conflicts with the Shinto followers in the Spring Temple, so it would be even more difficult for Li Peiji to ask these monks to help him eliminate dissidents and create killing karma in the red dust, so he lacked a powerful general and how could he take care of Fang Lin and the two.

  Soon, Fang Lin found the vice president, An Tian. As the saying goes, a hundred-legged bug dies but doesn't stiffen. Although the leaders of the other four major black societies in Nara were unexpectedly killed, An Tian still encountered considerable resistance when expanding his territory. He indeed had a list of people to be killed.

  The bounty for murder provided by the Li Gui Society is naturally in US dollars, which Fang Lin naturally looks down on. However, when they accepted the assassination mission, Meng Ya's mark also gave a hint that they had received a branch task issued by the Hongmen. The two immediately followed the trail and killed a mid-level executive of the Hengshan family without much effort. After completing the task, Meng Ya's mark prompted them to receive the following rewards:

  "Yuan (thick): High-value items can be exchanged for 300 points. Hongmen's favorability increased by 200."

  Fang Lin easily took out the 100-yuan bill and, using a genuine cutting technique, successfully split it into ten 10-yuan bills, earning an extra 200 points.
