Chapter 6: Chapter 5
Chapter 5: A battle of intelligence and courage with the Mafia
Tokisaki Kurumi reason for coming was simple.
The Supernatural Special Branch, the Armed Detective Agency, and the Port Mafia, of the three Yokohama Supernatural organizations only the Port Mafia suited her best.
That was why she had come here.
However, this reason couldn't be said so directly.
Why?
Just imagine this scenario.
You're a gang leader with an untold secret, and one day a person suddenly finds you and clearly states your biggest secret.
You ask her why she is here and she says she wants to contribute to the organization.
Would you believe that?
Of course not.
Anyone's first reaction would definitely be that this one must be up to something small, and joining the organization would definitely not be good.
Therefore, Tokisaki Kurumi couldn't directly tell Ogai Mori her true intention of coming.
As a lady, it was better to be reserved.
Even in the original, the first contact with the Itsuka Shido, also did not meet on the spot to say 'I want to eat you', well at least first as an interloper close to him, right?
If you want to get something from someone without making them suspicious, you should never tell them what you want, but hide what you want in other wishes.
It was like making fake accounts, listing countless cumbersome, bloated and meaningless data just to hide the most crucial one.
In the face of Ogai Mori questioning, Tokisaki Kurumi vermilion lips lightly parted and revealed the false reason for her visit that she had concocted.
"I want the Port Mafia to provide me with identification documents, other documentary proofs needed in this country, and a large amount of cash."
"Oh? Sounds like you've only been in this country for a short while, and definitely not through legal means."Ogai Mori raised some interest, "Are you a foreign shifter?"
"You can take it as such."Tokisaki Kurumi replied, "For some reason I had to leave my original homeland and come to a strange land to start over, that's why I need the help of the harbor mafia."
"Of course there's no problem, it's just a small matter for us."
Ogai Mori searched through a desk drawer and took out a form that looked like a resume, handing it to Tokisaki Kurumi, "I'll have the organization's people planted within the government arrange a new identity for you, anyway, first tell me some basic information you're willing to fill out, I don't think you'd like to have me come in and take a name for you either."
Tokisaki Kurumi took the form and began to fill out the information.
Most of the personal information, she filled out as usual.
But things like age and such, a permanent sixteen would be right, as for whether the other person believed it or not, it wasn't a problem for Tokisaki Kurumi.
After filling out her personal information, she returned the form back to Ogai Mori.
"Then, Ms. Tokisaki Kurumi."Ogai Mori scanned her personal information, "Please come tomorrow morning to collect your new identity, the professionals will fill in your background, you don't have to worry about that, as for the cash, is ten million dollars enough?"
"It's enough, thanks for your generosity."
"Then, I've done you a favor, I hope Ms. Tokisaki keeps her mouth shut and doesn't tell more people secrets that shouldn't be revealed."Ogai Mori said indifferently, "If certain people in the organization hear wind of this, I'll have a big headache."
The Port Mafia was powerful and decentralized, and naturally had different factions.
Before Mori Ouwai became the Boss, the faction belonging to the previous Boss made the most noise.
Having a private doctor become the new Boss of the Port Mafia was something that neither one could accept.
It was as if the emperor on his deathbed would neither pass the position of king to the crown prince nor to a general, but instead passed it on to the royal doctor who had treated him.
At first, most of the members of the organization wanted to overthrow this doctor who appeared out of nowhere, but they soon realized that this doctor was far superior to their mafia in terms of both tactics and sophistication.
With his helpers in the port mafia and his right-hand man, Dazai, Ogai Mori soon took over all of the organization's property and power as a matter of course, becoming the true Boss.
But, even so, there was still quite a bit of opposition present within the organization.
The voices of opposition had always been there, only that they had turned from light to dark, waiting for the right time to explode.
If it was learned that Ogai Mori had assassinated the previous Boss and forged the will, the forces that belonged to the previous Boss would inevitably make a comeback and try to seize the Boss's position.
Ogai Mori didn't think they would succeed.
But even if they failed, the loss would be the strength of the organization.
In these troubled times, the Port Mafia couldn't afford to go through another internal shuffle.
"I'm a person who separates grudges, and since Mr. Mori helped me, I naturally won't return the favor."Tokisaki Kurumi said, "I will not reveal anything about this secret to anyone else."
"Thanks a lot."
"But I can't guarantee the other secrets."
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"Mr. Mori, as you can see I came to this country for a new start, and while ten million is a lot, for me it's more important to find a long-term stable job."Tokisaki Kurumi said lightly, "Therefore, if I join an organization that is hostile to the Port Mafia and become Mr. Mori enemy, at that time, in order to be rewarded by the new organization, perhaps I will provide some secrets that the Port Mafia doesn't want others to know."
Ogai Mori frowned.
He could understand what Tokisaki Kurumi was thinking.
This deal with Tokisaki Kurumi was also just a simple transaction Ogai Mori provided the identity and cash, and Tokisaki Kurumi scrupulously kept her promise not to tell others the truth about the death of the previous Boss.
However, the secrets she knows are not only limited to the truth of the previous Boss's death.
Worst of all, Ogai Mori didn't know exactly how much more she had on the port mafia.
There were some things that even the harbor mafia would be hurt if someone who shouldn't know knew about them.
"To do away with her?"
This thought had just risen from Ogai Mori mind before it was quickly snuffed out.
Although they had been together for less than ten minutes, he could clearly perceive that the other party was not afraid of the Port Mafia, and the lone intruder into the organization's main camp meant that the other party also had the means to leave.
What's more, being able to sneak into the Boss Building unnoticed was enough to show how powerful the other party's ability was.
So far, Tokisaki Kurumi had shown plural abilities, sneaking into the shadows, reading memories, summoning weapons, and even those two flintlock pistols were not mortal, I'm afraid.
He didn't want to add one more troublesome enemy to the organization without being absolutely sure.
Especially when Ogai had almost zero knowledge of this mysterious figure, even as cunning as he was, it would be difficult to come up with a countermeasure.
However, even if he couldn't make an enemy out of her, he couldn't let her wander around the other organizations with various major secrets of the Port Mafia.
This fellow was like a moving untimely bomb, no one would know where she would explode, and no one would know when she would explode.
It was a headache to the core.
However, it wasn't like Ogai Mori had any other leverage to throw around to keep her from revealing any secrets about the harbor mafia.
Tokisaki Kurumi was too strange, too mysterious.
He had no idea what the other party really wanted.
"Wait ..."
With his mind racing, Ogai Mori looked as if he suddenly thought of something.
"Perhaps, I know what she wants."
