Chapter 1690 1692 [The downcast phoenix is ??worse than a chicken]
This failure in the competition for president caused great losses to the Togawa group.
On the one hand, the battle with the Kumamoto and Yamaken groups resulted in a large number of team members being injured, and the medical expenses alone cost a lot. Not to mention the loss of troops and generals, which weakened the strength of the Tokawa group.
On the one hand, several areas of territory it controls have been taken away by rival gangs. Among them is Kabukicho, which is very prosperous. Several karaoke bars, dance halls, and clubs have been robbed, causing it to lose tens of millions in income every month.
?In addition, in this presidential battle, because the Watakawa group was too active, it was put on the police''s key monitoring list.
??All activities under its umbrella are now closely monitored by the police, and they are forced to retreat and their movements are greatly restricted. As a result, it will naturally be more difficult to resist the oppression of opponents, and the territory of power is gradually shrinking.
This all made Taro Watakawa extremely ashamed and angry.
Originally I thought I could become the president. In that case, even if I suffer losses, I can still make up for it. But now, stealing a chicken means losing a lot of rice. After paying so much, it is all in vain. Of course, he is very unhappy.
?For this reason, he also looked down upon the newly appointed president Hiroshi Ikeda, and secretly prepared to find someone to kill him.
However, Otawara Morimasa, the protective umbrella of the Triads, gathered them together and lectured them, "Now that the candidate for the president has been announced, you all swear allegiance and don''t continue fighting. Winning or losing in the moment is not important. , keep your feet on the ground, work hard and accumulate strength, so that you can have a long-lasting military career. "
Hearing what he said, everyone nodded unanimously.
The reason why the Triads were not uprooted by the police is thanks to Mr. Ohtawara''s protection. Therefore, his words were like an imperial edict, and they had to obey them.
Otherwise, when the old man gets angry, it won''t just be a matter of killing a few people, but the entire triad may be uprooted.
??Although Taro Watakawa was a radical and was dissatisfied with Hiroshi Ikeda being the chairman, he had to temporarily turn off the fire in the face of the suppression of Ohtawara Morimasa.
…
Xiang Nan also found out that the big boss behind the triad held a meeting with them and asked them to unite, tolerate and stop fighting.
?These information are actually not difficult to find out. Those Yakuza are neither agents nor spies, and their mouths are not so strict. Besides, Kabukicho is full of inquirers, and you can always hear messy news from them.
??But you must have the ability to distinguish between true and false, false and false, false and true.
Xiang Nan believes that this news should be true.
For Otawara Morimasa, the Triads do not cause trouble, do not cause trouble, and do not cause any trouble. Let him worry less. And it is best to show him filial piety on time and help him with some dirty things.
Some time ago, they were so fiercely fighting for the position of president, and now it’s time to stop.
?After all, public dissatisfaction is boiling and public opinion is in an uproar. The police have also mobilized heavy troops, preparing to kill chickens to scare monkeys and scare hundreds of others. If they still don''t know how to restrain themselves, they will hit the target.
Therefore, it is normal for him to mediate and calm everyone down temporarily.
?However, he didn’t want the Triads to be so peaceful. After all, they are in peace, and they are the ones who are unlucky.
??He is the one who defeated the Nakajima-gumi and became enemies with Taro Watakawa. The Triad Association will not let him live happily.
?So Xiang Nan repeated his old tricks and killed one of the biggest opponents of the Togawa Group, Goro Kumamoto, the boss of the Kumamoto Group.
After the accident, Taro Watakawa was naturally regarded as the first suspect.
On the one hand, when he was competing for the position of president, he was the most violent and fought the most lively with the Kumamoto and Yamaken groups; on the other hand, he was responsible for the death of Toshinari Eguchi, the leader of the Eguchi group last time.
With such a criminal record, it is naturally more suspicious. Now that Goro Kumamoto is dead, if it wasn''t Taro Watagawa who did it, who would have done it.
Taro Watakawa felt extremely wronged.
He was unhappy with Goro Kumamoto and wanted to get rid of him, but he would not do it just after Mr. Ohtawara gave them a meeting. What was the difference between that and hitting Mr. Ohtawara in the face?
?No matter how radical he is, he will never do such a stupid thing.
But, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Taro Watagawa''s evil reputation has long been spread, and everyone knows that he is ruthless, ferocious, and bold. Therefore, the death of Goro Kumamoto this time was not caused by him, but must be blamed on him.
Mr. Ohtawara was very dissatisfied with Taro Watagawa.
Because of the disputes in the past six months, he has been under great pressure, so he asked the triads to unite, be patient, and settle the matter. However, he did not expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Kumamoto Goro would have an accident.
This was a serious challenge to his authority, and he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
In addition, other branches were also very indignant and believed that Taro Watakawa''s indiscriminate killing was too much.
After all, no matter how much they argue, they are still from the same school. It would be too much to kill him like this.
?Hence the outpouring of public opinion, the new president Hiroshi Ikeda immediately stepped down and immediately announced that Taro Watagawa would be kicked out of the gang.
?As a result, Taro Watakawa lost the protection of the Triads and immediately became a loner, and his power was greatly reduced.
Not to mention competing with the Sumitomo Kai, Inagawa Kai, Shochiku Kai and other gangs, even the Yamaken Group and the Kumamoto Group cannot compare. After all, he had his back against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and there was a triad group behind him, so there was no one behind him.
?Therefore, the Sumitomo Kai, Shochiku Kai, Inagawa Kai, etc. immediately began to compete for the Togawa Group''s territory. Even the Yamaken Group, Kumamoto Group, Oshima Group, etc. who originally belonged to the same sect did not spare it.
To make matters worse, after losing the protection of the organization, Watakawa and his son could no longer resist the police''s detection. Subsequently, Watakawa Taro and Watakawa Qianhei were investigated on suspicion of paying a murderer.
It turns out that although two years have passed, the police have not given up investigating the murder of Eguchi Toshinori.
?Tainan Gang boss Gao Jie had been insisting that no one ordered him, but he was just because he was not angry about being squeezed by Jiangkou, so he killed him.
?His purpose is naturally to keep Taro Watakawa so that he can have a chance to make a comeback. But now Taro Watakawa has been captured by the Triads. He is a down-and-out phoenix who is not as good as a chicken, and it is difficult to protect himself.
?In this case, it would be foolish for Gao Jie to continue to resist.
For a person like him, loyalty doesn''t matter. Whether to betray or not depends only on the benefits and costs.
Now that Taro Watakawa is finished, he doesn''t want to die with him.
With Gao Jie''s accusation and some other evidence, Watakawa and his son were finally found guilty, and each received a sentence of ten and eight years.
By the time they were released from prison, the Tokawa group had already become a thing of the past.
…
After solving the trouble of the Tokawa Group, Ikeda Hiroshi was ready to take action against Xiang Nan.
On the one hand, he has just taken over as the president of the Triad Association and wants to establish his authority. And getting rid of Xiang Nan, avenging the Nakajima group and venting anger on the brothers is the best way;
On the one hand, although Xiang Nan can fight, he has little power and is not even considered a Japanese. Therefore, even if he dies, it will not cause too much trouble, and naturally it becomes the best target for him to establish his power.
