Shimonoseki City in Japan is located at the southwestern tip of Honshu Island, facing Kyushu and South Korea across the sea, and is an important port on Honshu Island and even Japan.

The residence of the director of Xiaguan City Hall is a three-story villa located in the city center of Xiaguan. At this moment, a group of uninvited guests came to the residence of the director of the City Hall.

A few ninjas in black walked in with the help of two tired men in suits and leather shoes, while Mitsui Hideki, the director of Shimonoseki City Hall, hurriedly welcomed them into the living room.

After the two men supported by the ninja sat on the sofa, they were still panting heavily, as if they had just experienced a marathon of tens of kilometers.

And the ninjas who escorted them in also breathed a sigh of relief. They could see that these ninjas had serious wounds on their bodies, and blood dripped down their clothes onto the exquisite wool carpet, like plum blossoms.

"Big cousin, thank you very much this time." One of the men on the sofa said to Mitsui Hideki.

Hideki Mitsui handed them two cups of hot milk and said with a smile, "We're all a family, what are you talking about?"

His wife and children were driven to the second floor by Hideki Mitsui, so they were the only ones in the hall.

Mitsui Hideki took out another first aid kit and gave those ninjas a simple bandage, then sat across from the two men, sighed and said, "Our Mitsui family is really going to end?"

After hearing this, the two tired men on the opposite side became even more sad. It turned out that these two men were the direct heirs of the Mitsui family, Mitsui Ryuji and Mitsui Kotaro.

Mitsui Ryuuji clenched his fists tightly and said, "I never imagined that the old man of the Tokugawa family would be so ruthless. Not to mention occupying our Mitsui family's property, he would even kill the grass and roots, and even kill our Mitsui family members!"

Mitsui Kotaro also said: "Now the Mitsui family, apart from our two brothers and your eldest cousin, are either eliminated by the Tokugawa family or have betrayed the family and joined the Tokugawa family.

His father, too, died of illness last week because of the seizure of his family property. "

"I didn't expect that either." Mitsui Hideki sighed, "It's only half a year, from the time that old fellow Tokugawa Naomasa launched a war against our Mitsui family to the present, it's only half a year that we have completely wiped out our Mitsui family. Beaten."

Many years ago, the Mitsui family was originally one of the four major chaebols in Japan. Due to Japan's defeat in World War II, the Mitsui family, the main supporter of Japanese imperialism, was also strongly suppressed, and its strength plummeted.

The Mitsui family also actively worked hard to revitalize the family business after the war, but unfortunately, Tokugawa Naomasa, who they originally wanted to use to help themselves, usurped the Mitsui family's property in the end, and lost more than 60% of the Mitsui family's property. snatched away.

The Mitsui family, which has only 30% of its assets left, is in its

With the help of several big chaebols, he barely blocked Tokugawa Naomasa's backlash, and lingered triumphantly.

With the development of time, those industries that originally belonged to the Mitsui family have developed and expanded more rapidly in the hands of Tokugawa Naomasa, and soon became one of Japan's new four major chaebols, and the Tokugawa family has also become Japan's most famous one of the big families.

Compared with the rapid rise of the Tokugawa family, the Mitsui family, which guarded more than 30% of the original assets, is much inferior. It is almost stagnant. If things go on like this, these assets of the Mitsui family will be swallowed up.

What's more, the reason why the other chaebols helped the Mitsui family was only to prevent the development of the Tokugawa family.

Fortunately, the Mitsui family also gave birth to a very outstanding figure later, that is, Mitsui Hidezaki, the father of Mitsui Ryuji and Mitsui Kotaro.

Under the leadership of Mitsui Hidezaki, the Mitsui family developed again. Although it was not as good as the prosperous Tokugawa family in the end, it was no longer the declining family that was always worried about being annexed by the Tokugawa family. own defense force.

Tokugawa Naomasa is approaching the age of 100, and his sons, Tokugawa Gensei and Tokugawa Kudron, are far behind Tokugawa Naomasa in terms of talent.

Mitsui Hidezaki is only fifty-six years old this year. Under the ebb and flow, as long as the Mitsui family develops steadily, the Tokugawa family will be overtaken by the Mitsui family sooner or later after Tokugawa Naomasa's death.

It's just that I didn't expect that half a year ago, the Tokugawa family suddenly launched an offensive against the Mitsui family's property, and started a full-scale war with it in terms of stock market, sales, and publicity.

As a result, the two families, which had been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, made their struggle superficial, and the economic circles of Japan and even the world caused waves of waves.

Mitsui Hidezaki originally guessed that Tokugawa Naomasa wanted to eradicate the biggest enemy of the Tokugawa family before his death, so as to remove obstacles for the development of his Tokugawa family.

But later, Tokugawa Naomasa's offensive was fierce and fierce, and he was very patient, showing no signs of impatience, which made Mitsui Hidezaki overturn his original speculation.

Tokugawa Naomasa was not eager to deal with the Mitsui family because he realized that he was about to die, but more like completing his goal of completely annexing the Mitsui family step by step in his early years.

Undoubtedly, Tokugawa Naomasa was very terrifying when he turned against the Mitsui family back then, especially when he was in his prime physically and mentally, and launched an offensive against the Mitsui family in his peak state. The means are retreating steadily.

In recent years, it was also because Naomasa Tokugawa was physically and mentally old and unable to do everything by himself, so the power of the Tokugawa family was handed over to Tokugawa Gensei and Tokugawa Kyolong, which allowed the Mitsui family to relax.

Take a breath.

And the experience of the past six months reminded Mitsui Hidezaki of Tokuro who was at his peak.

Naomasa Kawa!

In the end, under Tokugawa Naomasa's continuous offensive, Mitsui Hidezaki finally couldn't resist, and all the companies under the Mitsui family were defeated.

They were annexed by Naomasa Tokugawa one by one. In this case, some members of the Mitsui family defected to Naomasa Tokugawa in order to protect themselves, which accelerated the defeat of the Mitsui family.

Because the results of a lifetime of hard work were completely devoured by Tokugawa Naomasa, and also lost the chance to make a comeback, Mitsui Hidezaki couldn't bear the blow, and finally died of a serious illness in a hurry.

After devouring all of the Mitsui family's property, Tokugawa Naomasa was still unwilling to let the Mitsui family go. Except for those members of the Mitsui family who had taken refuge in him, he would kill everyone else. Dozens of members of the Mitsui family died in car accidents or assassinations.

Mitsui Ryuuji and Mitsui Kotarou were also under the protection of the Iga faction ninjas who had been raised by the Mitsui family for more than ten years, and managed to escape from the encirclement of those killers.

And Hideki Mitsui, the head of the city hall of Shimonoseki City, is actually a member of the Mitsui family, but his daily contacts with the Mitsui family are very secret, so outsiders don't know his relationship with the Mitsui family.

Just listening to the song, Mitsui Hideki said to Mitsui Ryuji and Mitsui Kotaro who were facing each other: "Then what are you going to do now? The Tokugawa family is too powerful. If we resist stubbornly, the last bit of incense left by our Mitsui family will be destroyed." off."

"Big cousin, you are right."

Mitsui Kotaro said: "As long as we are here, the Mitsui family will not be finished, and there is still a chance to make a comeback. My elder brother and I plan to cross the sea from Shimonoseki to the South Korean side, and then go to Russia via North Korea to avoid the Tokugawa government. hunted down."

Mitsui Ryuji also said: "As long as we can preserve our power and develop it secretly, I don't believe we can't beat the Tokugawa family!"

"By the way, why did that old Tokugawa Naomasa suddenly start a war against our Mitsui family? What exactly stimulated him?" Mitsui Hideki asked.

Mitsui Kotaro shook his head: "Who knows what that old man is going crazy."

"But our father found something."

Mitsui Ryuji said in a deep voice: "Although Tokugawa Naomasa has faded out of people's sight since more than ten years ago, and he no longer appears in front of any media, ordinary people don't know his situation at all, and even think he is dead. up.

But our people found out that Tokugawa Naomasa, who was paralyzed with both feet, somehow got better. Damn, that old man, he won't die at such an old age, and he recovered for no reason! "

Mitsui Hideki frowned, and said: "It stands to reason that paralysis of both feet is difficult to cure, especially Tokugawa Naomasa's feet have been paralyzed for many years, and the muscles may have atrophied."

After a pause, he asked again

: "By the way, when are you going to leave? Are you staying here overnight?"

Mitsui Kotaro shook his head: "No, the boat has been arranged, we plan to leave later, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Okay, let me send you guys to the pier." Mitsui Hideki said.

"Then thank you, big cousin." Mitsui Ryuuji and Mitsui Kotaro thanked at the same time.

So, after a short rest at Mitsui Hideki, Mitsui Ryuuji and Mitsui Kotaro left in a hurry, heading straight for the wharf in Shimonoseki City.

They arranged a fishing boat in advance, intending to smuggle from Xiaguan to South Korea.

When they came to the pier, they saw the fishing boat moored on the sea, so they accelerated their pace even more.

After passing through the long wharf, there was still more than ten meters to reach the fishing boat. Although physically and mentally exhausted from the past few days of fleeing, Mitsui Ryuji and Mitsui Kotaro still accelerated their speed.

But when they were a few meters away from the fishing boat, a ninja suddenly stopped them: "Wait, you two, something is wrong!"
