death of hope

Chapter 750 "Barbaric Growth" (167) Heirs
After the wake ceremony, the coffin was carried to the cemetery for burial. People followed behind with flowers in their hands and walked on the grass.

The environment here is extremely beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming everywhere you look.
The first shovelful of soil was not made by the wives and children of the heroes on the mountain,
Instead, Chen Yideng, the gang's second-in-command, put him down.

The old tough guy looked resolute and kept mumbling;

"Hero-kun, if there is an afterlife, we two brothers will continue to be brothers!"

When several gang elders heard this, they couldn't help but recall the brothers who risked their lives fighting on the streets back then, and their eyes turned red with emotion.

The funeral was over, and distinguished guests such as the senator, colonial governor, and mayor left in their cars.

These federal officials should not appear too close to the underworld to avoid being caught by media reporters.

Other guests who accepted the invitation from the Shan family were led by Keiko Shan to attend the thank-you banquet at the high-end hotel they had booked.

Shanbunta missed his mother and asked his men to send her home to rest. He stood there for a long time looking at the taillights of the car.

"Let's go, Bunta, I'm waiting for you."

The middle-aged man who spoke was the strategist of the mountain family; Takasugi Yushi,
This person held an important position equivalent to chief of staff, and his group placed all their bets on the family's eldest son, Bunta Yamayama.

·
After politely greeting a group of guests at the hotel, a small-scale cocktail party was quietly held at the Sannokai office in the next block.

No distinguished guests, no reporters, no fanfare banquet,
Those invited to participate were all relatives of the mountain family and core figures within the gang.

The overt and covert struggles of various factions can already be felt while sitting down.

According to the old rules of the Japanese gang, when the boss dies, the boss's second-in-command brother, Wakatou, will temporarily manage the gang affairs on his behalf.
Until the heir grows up and is capable of taking responsibility, then transfer the power.

According to this rule, Chen Yideng could have sat in the boss's position, but he did not do that.

Instead, he left the chief seat vacant and sat on his own Wakatou seat next to him. This was indeed a highly emotionally intelligent approach.

·
Now some people in the gang are whispering that he, the youngest son of Ruotou, has 'held hostage' the boss.
On the surface, he is supporting this child to become the boss, but in fact, he plans to let his Chen family usurp power. This kind of thing is common in the underworld.

Chen Yideng tried to dispel everyone's doubts, saying nothing but practical actions.

Leaving the boss's seat vacant, repeatedly emphasizing his status as 'ruoto' and 'second-in-command', and lowering his profile are all good starts. Uncle Deng personally poured wine for everyone and observed the status of each heir and his supporters;
·
Changzishan Bunta has a lot of little tricks,

From time to time, I take out a tissue to wipe the cold sweat on the tip of my nose, and occasionally push the glasses frame on the bridge of my nose with my fingers.
His complexion was very poor, he was too sick to cheer up, and he looked at least ten years older than his actual age.

Most of the gang leaders who support him are greasy middle-aged men. They all sit upright and are focused on preserving their own territory and wealth. They barely have the word "steady" written on their foreheads.

·
The eldest daughter, Keiko Yamagami, was wearing an all-black outfit, but she looked particularly bright and charming.

She was definitely the one who attracted the most media attention at the funeral, second only to the senator and the governor.

She is not the kind of person who acts coquettishly and cutely, but is both brave and bold and has starry charm, and is enthusiastically supported by her supporters.

The Sannohui gangsters all joked among themselves that the leaders who supported Shan Keiko wanted to have sex with him.

·
The youngest son Shan Tetsuya is the perfect successor in Chen Yideng's mind.

He has a dignified appearance, bright eyes, full of youthful vigor, and seems to have endless energy.

Not afraid of any challenge, just like his father, the hero on the mountain, when he was young.
The gang elders who support Tetsuya are undoubtedly loyal, and their troops are powerful, but their behavior is too dogmatic, making them seem a bit pedantic, old and out of step with the times.

·
As the funeral ended, Musashi's true colors were revealed and he regained his iconic image of a street kid.
His expression was frivolous and disrespectful. He crossed his legs and flicked the cigarette ashes onto the table.

He seems to be just a lazy young man, but in fact he is a violent and fierce fighting maniac.
He personally killed the upright anti-gang hero prosecutor and gained the respect of the president of the Sanno Association.

The leaders who support Musashi are all fighting factions in the gang, and they are brave and ruthless people.

·
Chen Yideng held the sake jar, filled everyone's glasses one by one, and observed their reactions;

There is no apparent conflict between the four heirs, but they do not intend to hand over their power to anyone else.

Everyone has his own plan,

Everyone has his own ambitions...
