Ginza, the most prosperous business district in Tokyo. Here stood the largest corporate groups in the East Ocean region, including the headquarters of most overseas groups. For example, the headquarters of Stark Industries was set up in Ginza.
Perhaps because of the decision to go against Stark Industries, Norman Osborn avoided the Tokyo business circle when he set up the East Ocean branch. Instead, he turned to the Kansai Center of the East Ocean. The business circle of Hanshin Capital included Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto.
The high-rise buildings in Ginza were arranged in rows. Sanyo, Sony, and East Ocean Bank, which were the largest groups in the East Ocean, had set up offices here.
There was a special building in Ginza that seemed a little out of place with the surrounding modern buildings.
A snow-white Japanese-style castle was built in imitation of the famous Azuchi Castle in the East Ocean (the city where Oda Nobunaga lived after his rise). The green tiles and white walls appeared abnormally out of place on the modern streets.
The entire castle covered a very large area, and the castle was surrounded by a Japanese-style wall that was built in imitation of the Warring States period. Inside the wall was a huge courtyard. There was even an artificial hot spring inside.
On the left side of the castle was a building of about fifty stories, which was not conspicuous in the high-rise Ginza, if it wasn't for the Japanese-style castle next to it.
In Ginza, where every inch of land was worth gold, this huge area was extremely extravagant. And all the people who worked near Ginza intentionally or unintentionally retreated from this building.
In addition to the building next to the castle, the other building closest to the Japanese-style castle was also hundreds of meters away. As if this beautiful snow-white castle was a pathogen that made people retreat.
Of course, the building itself was not the reason for fear, and it would not spread disease. What really struck fear into the hearts of the surrounding companies was the sign erected on the castle.
Five hundred years ago, the daimyo of the Warring States period would plant their own sign on their territory, and this sign of declaring sovereignty was called a family emblem. In the modern East Ocean, there were very few families that still maintained this tradition.
And now the most feared family emblem in the East Ocean was erected here. A sign that looked like a traditional Japanese-style building overpass. The owner of this emblem was none other than the Yashida Family.
He was the underground leader of the Kanto region, the underground ruler who ruled half of the East Ocean in the dark.
With Nagoya as the boundary, the former Showa Society governed the area to the west of Nagoya, while Yashida governed the area to the east.
Unlike the Hand Society, which was a global assassin organization, the Yashida Financial Group was very low-key on the international scene. They rarely extended their tentacles beyond the East Ocean.
They focused on managing the East Ocean, making their territory impregnable. It was also because of this single-minded management strategy that the Yasuda Group's influence on the East Ocean was even greater than that of the Shogakukan.
After all, the Shogakukai was an illegal organization, and Yeshida often had a more official identity. This gave them a lot of help in the political world.
Apart from the people inside the Yashida Financial Group, most people had never entered the Yashida Financial Group's building. Even if it was a business meeting, very few people were willing to enter.
This also led to all sorts of legends about the Yashida Financial Group. For example, there was an army that was raised by the Yashida Financial Group and had more advanced equipment than the Self-Defense Forces.
There were many such rumors. There was a reason behind it. There was indeed a group of thugs that Mariko had raised inside the Yashida Financial Group.
Actually, it was not impossible to call them an army, except that there were not that many of them. They were all equipped with all sorts of advanced weapons.
Among them, a considerable number were weapons from the Osborne Group. If Li Jie and the others were here, they would have been surprised to find out. The Osborne Group had used the technology of the Green Devils armor to reduce part of the cost to create a mass-produced external armor suit. There were at least a hundred of them here.
This mobile armor was named the "Elf Armor" and could provide the wearer with an additional 700 kilograms of weight. It could run at a speed of 35 kilometers per hour.
It could effectively defend against bullets of 12.7 mm caliber (non-black gold armor-piercing bullets, depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets). It was also equipped with an auxiliary aiming system, a life support system, and an infrared thermal imaging detection system during special operations.
This set of armor was a solid piece of military equipment. The Osborne Group would only export it to the country and would not sell it to any private party. This was because everyone knew very well how powerful this armor could be if they were to equip it in batches and sequences.
In addition to the US military purchasing such armors in large quantities, many other countries also began to purchase batches of such armors. One of them was the East Ocean.
The East Ocean had only purchased 200 sets of Elf Armor in advance. Now, a hundred of them had appeared in the hands of the Yashida Financial Group. This reflected the terrifying control this financial group had over the East Ocean.
The head of this financial group, Yashida Mariko, was currently in her office in the building, receiving a call from Yasuda Eiji.
"Kill that Jason." Masako's expression did not change. "If possible, it is a good idea to get rid of him. However, he has always been by Harry Osborne's side. Accidentally injuring Harry Osborne is not the result I want. "
"If you can distract him alone, then it is possible." Mariko did not object to killing Li Jie because she had discovered during their last brief encounter.
Li Jie had a great influence on Harry. And this influence would affect Harry's decisions. More importantly, Li Jie seemed to be very wary of cooperating with the Yashida Financial Group. Also, it had an attitude that was too old to be young. These were all obstacles.
She needed the research and development power of the Osborne Group because that child had great potential. Her grandfather had once tried to transfer Logan's self-healing factor to his own body, but Logan's body had been destroyed.
In Mariko's opinion, that was a method of neglecting the essentials. Exhausting the goose that lays the golden eggs was never the best choice. Other than her own longevity, Mariko knew how useful a child with Logen's genes would be.
He would become an important bargaining chip in her hand. Mariko believed that she could completely control the child. Because as the child's mother, she knew the child too well.
While Chairman Yasuda was talking to Mariko, at the International Airport in Osaka. Logen had bought a ticket and was ready to fly back to the United States.
This nostalgic trip in the East Ocean was a little sad. It also made the wolf feel even more lonely and desolate. In the waiting hall, he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but was quickly stopped by an East Ocean man sitting next to him.
This East Ocean man spoke standard American English without the accent of the East Ocean. "Sir, smoking is not allowed here."
Logen glanced at the man, who looked like a standard East Ocean man, holding an English magazine in his hand. He would not be recognized in a crowd. The only outstanding thing about him was his English.
Perhaps he was a salesman assigned to the United States or something similar. Logen thought about it and put away the cigarette at the same time. Apart from a very small backpack with a few changes of clothes, Logan didn't have much to show off.
This made him a little conspicuous in the waiting hall.
"Feeling a little bored?" The Japanese man looked at Logan, who was sitting there with a bored expression, and went up to chat.
But Logen did not pay attention to his desire at all. He just glanced at him, then shook his head and did not answer.
"Well, I think you may need this. I'm about to board the plane. This book is for you. " The East Ocean man did not care about Logen's attitude. Instead, he smiled and put the English magazine in his hand on Logen's knee.
Then he looked at his watch. It seemed that it was indeed time to board the plane. Then he hurriedly left.
This was like an ordinary airport encounter, a friendly conversation with a stranger. This did not alert Logen or anyone else.
Perhaps it was because the waiting time was too long, Logen did feel very bored. He still picked up the English magazine that the man gave him.
Well, it was a magazine about Hollywood movies. On the cover was the news of the release of "The Lego Movie." Logen curled his lips and opened the magazine.
He was not very interested in Hollywood scandals and movies. He opened the magazine because he was a little bored and wanted to find something to do.
While quickly flipping through the pages, a postcard in the magazine caught Logen's attention.
