He had once learned the art of drawing a sword, which happened to overlap with Bai Ze's sword-drawing technique.
A 28-year-old five-star martial artist is not too young or too old, but he can be considered a genius. With the implantation of a brand-new mechanical body, he can definitely unleash the strength of a peak five-star. It's hard to say when he will enter the six-star realm.
While many new warriors successfully broke through to the sixth star by implanting mechanical bodies in their brains, quite a few also achieved this through their own efforts or by chance when their mental energy left their bodies.
After all, not everyone is so carefree as to have surgery on their own brain.
The reason why Western Union often produces cyber-lunatics is mainly due to the side effects of brain implants.
Therefore, there are also some six-star Western Alliance warriors who can project their spiritual energy into their bodies on their own.
As Bai Ze recalled the information, his nostrils twitched slightly.
The road outside the car was smooth, with lush greenery on both sides, looking like a normal urban landscape, but Bai Ze still smelled the scent of steel.
His hearing penetrated the thick steel strata, allowing him to hear the noise of machinery operating below, as well as some human voices.
Namba City is located on the half of the Steel Continent.
The buildings above ground here look no different from those in the cities of Dongxia, but below the surface lies another world entirely.
Beneath the city lies a vast expanse of space and a complex network of pipes and passageways, the darkness hidden beneath the glamorous surface.
After all, Namba is a large, economically developed city with many Westerners residing there, so it needs to be concealed to some extent.
Underground, violence, bloodshed, and various interests have spawned all sorts of groups, creating another world that the Japanese government struggles to govern, leaving only unofficial violent groups to assist in its management.
Thus, the Yakuza gangs were born.
The East City Gang is one of the largest yakuza gangs in the city.
The old chairman took advantage of the chaos to enter Japan, participated in the structural construction of Namba City, and gathered a group of people.
Later, he hooked up with a rich woman, lived off her, and established himself in Namba City.
"Young Master, it's good that you're back. Those bastards from the Ochiai Group have been taking advantage of Father's illness lately, trying every means to trip us up. But His Excellency the Shogun has just issued the General Peace Decree, so we can't directly retaliate," the burly man driving said while holding the steering wheel. "Oh, right, I forgot, Young Master, you've been studying at the Western Union all this time, so you don't know about the General Peace Decree. It's a decree modeled after Lord Hideyoshi's. Once the General Peace Decree is issued, all private fights are prohibited, and violators will be severely punished, even suppressed."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze nodded with a look of sudden realization.
This was clearly to prevent internal strife in Japan and to prevent chaos in the territory of the Five-Star Emperor.
But when force is difficult to use, relationships and power come into play.
The East City Society's network of relationships and political resources were clearly built by the former chairman. Now that the former chairman is seriously ill, it is difficult for him to make use of his past connections and resources.
If he dies, he'll lose at least a large portion of his network of connections, if not all of them.
So-called connections and relationships are always tied to people. Even legitimate friendships may be difficult to pass on to successors when the person involved passes away, let alone those from the East City Gang, which are involved in yakuza activities.
The Ochiai group, however, clearly did not have such concerns, and thus were able to create obstacles in other ways.
As for why it's good that Shimura Shin is back... it's not because he's the old chairman's son, but because he had long since renounced his Japanese citizenship, become a member of the Western Union, and had a professor there.
In Japan, among those of the same social class, the Western Union's "master" is the true master.
Below the Western Lord is the Lord of Heian-kyo, where the retired emperor resides, and only after that are the country bumpkins from other places.
"Where is the headquarters of the Ochiai Group?" Bai Ze suddenly asked.
"On the main road of the palace..." the burly man replied subconsciously, then suddenly reminded him, "Young master, there's no order! The general's orders cannot be disobeyed."
"Go to Omiya Main Road," Bai Ze said calmly.
The burly man showed obvious nervousness, thinking of refusing, but under Bai Ze's gaze, he had no choice but to obey.
He took out his communicator and said, "Attention everyone, proceed to Omiya Main Road."
After saying that, the burly man turned the steering wheel and made a left turn at the next intersection.
At the same time, a hint of smugness appeared in his eyes.
At the same time, in a courtyard in Namba City, a middle-aged man dressed in a kimono also received the message.
"The third son is still as impulsive as ever."
The middle-aged man looked at the communication terminal in his hand and smiled. "It'll be difficult for him to manage the East City Club well for Father like this."
He is Shin Shimura's older brother and also the young leader of the Tojo Clan.
The term "young master" refers to the heir of a yakuza organization. If the head of the organization or a group leader is no longer in power, the young master will take over.
"With a little trickery, the eldest brother got the third brother to settle the trouble with the Osaka Society," a man next to him said with a smile. "Even though he's now a member of the Western Union, if he dares to offend the General's order, even if it's just a minor slip-up... hehe."
"Don't say that. We're all brothers," the middle-aged man said solemnly, his smile fading. "Tell people to be prepared and not let the third brother cause too much trouble. We still need his help to get through this difficult time."
A little trouble can both give Ochiai a warning and allow the authorities to curb the third-place team's arrogance. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man smiled again.
Half an hour later, on Omiya Road, Namba City.
Bai Ze opened the car door and got out. One after another, black cars stopped behind him, and a group of thugs in suits got out.
The driver who was driving Bai Ze also walked over quickly and whispered to Bai Ze, "Young Master, the headquarters of the Ochiai Group is just ahead."
What comes into view is a towering building, with a legitimate company sign standing in front of it.
As a top gang in Namba City, they naturally don't hide like petty thugs, but instead appear in the open as a legitimate company.
One of the unique features of Japan is that yakuza gangs can be legal.
"Young master, please give your orders," the burly man said loyally.
"not busy."
Ignoring the figures gathering inside the building, Bai Ze turned to the group of East City Gang thugs behind him and raised his voice, "I'm asking you, are you willing to listen to me?"
"Young Master, of course we are willing to listen to you," the burly man was the first to respond. "Even if you lead us into the Ochiaikai right now, we will not say a word."
You wouldn't guess this burly man is quite cultured.
Bai Ze smiled with satisfaction, then slowly extended his hand. "Then offer your loyalty to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the thugs in suits paused for a moment, then stood up straight in unison and said, "Yes, young master."
Their words became law, altering their consciousness. At this moment, only two words remained in their hearts: loyalty!
