The matter between Yamamoto Ichiro and Hao Jian has finally come to an end, with Yamamoto Ichiro ending in defeat. As for those attending the party, they aren't particularly close to Yamamoto Ichiro, so they just ignored him, whereas Nakano Yuta knew what to do. He immediately had his bodyguards quickly send Yamamoto Ichiro to the hospital since Yamamoto Ichiro hadn't brought any subordinates with him this time. So Nakano Yuta, being the host, had to take care of it. Of course, after handling these matters, Nakano Yuta also waved his hand to disperse the guests, and he left as well. On his way out, he turned for one last look at Yamamoto Ichiro, his eyes filled with disdain. These people, are they even worthy of being one of East Ocean's four great masters? To be beaten into such a state, it's truly embarrassing... Over the years, Yamamoto Ichiro has been quite famous, but his social relations aren't good. Apart from rivals and confidants within the four great masters, he hasn't associated with many people. It's not that people don't want to associate with Yamamoto Ichiro, it's that he relies on his strength to perpetuate his wrongdoings. Cooperating with him would sully one's reputation; only those who wish to benefit from him and aren't afraid of tarnishing themselves would dare to collaborate. No one else cooperates with Yamamoto Ichiro. Interestingly, Nakajima Kaichuu originally wanted to contact Yamamoto Ichiro, but the results were not good. Yamamoto Ichiro's arrogance and baseless anger made Nakajima Kaichuu lose face, and in a fit of anger, he just ignored Yamamoto Ichiro and walked away. Since then, Yamamoto Ichiro remained himself, but Nakajima Kaichuu gradually became one of East Ocean's largest manufacturers, notably in the jewelry industry! "Are you going over?" On the road, Nakano Yuta looked at Nakajima Kaichuu and suddenly spoke. Hearing this, Nakajima Kaichuu pondered and nodded. The relationship between Nakano Yuta and him can be described as both rivals and confidants. Currently, Nakajima Kaichuu's group faces a problem; as production increases, there are only a few distributors. Thus production exceeds sales, gradually filling the warehouse with unsold goods. Although jewelry doesn't lose value over a few years, any losses are due to the time-value of money and price fluctuations of the jewelry. This is something they can endure, but having so much stuff in storage and unsold is distressing. Seeing the president of Shu Ya Group, a world-class jewelry firm, arriving here, wouldn't Nakajima Kaichuu seize this opportunity? Clearly, he wants to seize this chance, but he hesitates whether Shu Ya Group would cooperate with him. After all, as far as he knows, all current suppliers to Shu Ya Group are globally renowned, and he is only a recently popular producer in East Ocean. His strength is only comparable to local companies in East Ocean, but he might be overwhelmed when taken to a global scale. Nakano Yuta saw Nakajima Kaichuu's concern, smiled, and patted his shoulder, saying, "Nakajima, you're someone I have my eye on, and I regard you as a worthy rival. I hope you won't be defeated by these trivial matters. Besides, Shu Ya Group has branches in our East Ocean..." "Consider carefully whether you want to collaborate with Shu Ya Group's headquarters or with the East Ocean branch." Nakano Yuta's words gradually brightened Nakajima Kaichuu's eyes. Of course! Why hadn't he thought of this? He doesn't need to collaborate with the entire Shu Ya Group, only with one of its branches! Which branch is most accessible? Naturally, it's the East Ocean branch! Their branch was only recently established. Furthermore, it has faced numerous attacks from different forces, alerting the president and prompting action to address it. These companies can be troublesome for foreign entities, but for local ones, they're very simple, like Nakajima Kaichuu, who can deal with those forces. However, there are a few with similar strength... "I believe you can do it. I don't want my rival to easily fall!" Nakano Yuta smiled at Nakajima Kaichuu, saying, "Moreover, I believe this opportunity can only be seized by you!" "Besides, I've received some news, something you can't possibly obtain..." "Shu Ya Group isn't just looking for one collaborator this time. If I'm correct, they are seeking three or four. With your ability, I'm confident you can become one of their collaborators!" Hearing this, Nakajima Kaichuu was slightly moved. If this news is true, then his chances are almost guaranteed. He believes in his capability to become a partner of Shu Ya Group's East Ocean branch! With Nakano Yuta's words, Nakajima Kaichuu started to take action... .......................................... "Brother Yamamoto! What happened?! Who did this?!" Inside a hospital, a burly man saw Yamamoto Ichiro lying in such a sorry state on the hospital bed, with an unpleasant expression, and roared, not caring that there were other patients in the hospital. "Can't you keep your voice down for me?!" Yamamoto Ichiro glared fiercely at the man, snorted coldly, "If you keep talking like that, I'll be sick from your yelling even if I'm not sick." The man was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this. He scratched his head, not knowing how to respond, stammering, with anger in his eyes. Obviously, he was very angry about Yamamoto Ichiro being beaten , after all, this Yamamoto Ichiro was his benefactor! A few years ago, he was from a small village in East Ocean, but later, while chasing wild boars in the mountains, he accidentally encountered a viper. Unexpectedly, he was bitten by that highly venomous viper. If he had been in the city, maybe nothing would have happened to him. However, at that time, he was deep in the mountains, let alone go to the city, he couldn't even find a single soul. Just when he was ready to wait for death, Yamamoto Ichiro suddenly appeared, cleaned his wound swiftly, and took him to the hospital in time, saving his life. From that moment, he decided to follow Yamamoto Ichiro, and regarding his decision, Yamamoto Ichiro didn't say anything, just told him to go home to resolve some matters, but he forgot, this person was originally an orphan... After that, this man had been by his side, inseparable. If he hadn't had a task to deal with tonight, perhaps Hao Jian would have targeted not just Yamamoto Ichiro, but this man too. "Big Tree, you better be quiet for a while!" Yamamoto Ichiro looked at the man he called Big Tree with a tone of dissatisfaction, but there was also a hint of helplessness. This simple-minded lad had been with him for a long time and always worked tirelessly without complaints. This man called Big Tree was actually named Itsuki Shimada, an orphan, except his parents died in a car accident when he was thirteen. And that hit-and-run driver had never been found, until after he became a subordinate of Yamamoto Ichiro. With Yamamoto Ichiro's influence, he finally found that driver. After enduring a series of tortures, he committed his first murder in his life. It was from that day on that Itsuki Shimada's personality changed, becoming cold, except when he faced Yamamoto Ichiro, he still showed his childlike nature. After all, without Yamamoto Ichiro, he wouldn't have had the day to avenge his parents. He resolved to help Yamamoto Ichiro until his death. Now, hearing that his respected Yamamoto Ichiro was nearly beaten into a cripple, Itsuki Shimada was extremely angry, which is why he shouted out without any thought. "Brother Yamamoto, what do you plan to do now?" Itsuki Shimada scratched his head. He only knew how to fight, coming up with strategies was never his strong suit, it was always Yamamoto Ichiro's other subordinates who did that. Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Ichiro's expression immediately turned cold, snorted, "You leave and call Yuu Kawai, tell him to gather all subordinates immediately, and go to Villa No. 5 and 6 in District 34..." Villa No. 5 and 6 were exactly where Hao Jian and the others were, and that District 34 was a villa area, a place where the wealthy gathered. Itsuki Shimada responded, planning to go and make a call, but just as he was about to take a step, he was suddenly stopped by Yamamoto Ichiro... "Brother Yamamoto, what is it?" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽 Itsuki Shimada turned his head in confusion, looking at Yamamoto Ichiro. "Don't let Yuu Kawai go to the villa, directly have him block the only road leading to the villa for me, there are a lot of officials and dignitaries in the villa area, I don't want unnecessary trouble." Yamamoto Ichiro spoke in a deep voice, then said, "Also, have someone handle my discharge paperwork, I want to go in person..." "Brother Yamamoto, you are not fully recovered yet..." Hearing Itsuki Shimada mention this matter, Yamamoto Ichiro's face also looked a bit displeased, and he said sternly, "My injuries are fine, I just want to personally see that guy who beat me end up worse! Itsuki Shimada hesitated a bit, on one side was his respected big brother, but on the other side was his brother's outlet for venting, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Yamamoto Ichiro. "Then I will go find Brother Yuu Kawai, I believe once he hears about your injury, he will definitely act quickly!" In a quieter corner of Villa No. 5 and 6, Hao Jian looked at Shu Ya and asked.
