Chapter 567: Chapter 359: Entangled Interests (4000 words)_2

Make everyone fall for Brother Beichuan?

The little girl seemed somewhat reluctant: "Qiao Nai only wants to see Brother Beichuan looking especially handsome by herself."

Cough cough—

Qiuxiao Yunai gaped in astonishment.

It seems that Beichuan Si, although not popular with college-aged girls like them, is peculiarly popular among children.

She pondered this in her heart, but outwardly shook her finger: "No, Beichuan must show his handsome side in front of everyone."

"But wouldn’t that be the same as the idol sisters on TV?" Nanami Qiao placed a finger on her lips, tilting her head in confusion, not quite understanding.

As soon as she said this, Qiuxiao Yunai was stunned again.

Nanami Qiao wasn’t wrong.

Nowadays in Japan, many shrine masters perform flashy acts, some monks even recite sutras while DJing, hardly different from online idols and internet celebrities.

Qiuxiao Yunai rubbed her head.

So the essence of this event where the Beichuan God is making an appearance is essentially a large fan meet-up with some spiritual overtones?

"If that’s the case... then we need a better opening line."

Qiuxiao Yunai hesitated for a moment, then deleted all the original lines for the signboard, and began a new round of effort.

It’s just as well that Beichuan Si didn’t see what she wrote; otherwise, Qiuxiao Yunai would definitely have been unable to escape a beating.

...

The following day, news spread within the Beichuan Divine Society.

The Beichuan God would appear in two days to take over the Tokyo dojo!

This news undoubtedly set off an explosion within the chat community of the Beichuan Divine Society.

Many members of the Beichuan Divine Society stepped forward.

Their enthusiasm was reignited.

Some of them had heard from the elders quite early on how the Beichuan God single-handedly transformed the Thousand Mirror Mutual Aid Association into the Beichuan Divine Society, even displaying genuine miracles atop the Mutual Aid Association.

But they, having joined the Divine Society, had not seen the Beichuan God in person.

Those ’miracles’ extolled by the elders gradually became just memories...

But now it was different!

The Beichuan God was about to make an appearance at the dojo!

How could they not be excited?

Having a tangible focus for their faith is so much better than a mere fleeting mention of ’Beichuan God.’

Putting aside the believers’ thoughts.

As the Beichuan Divine Society with promising prospects in Tokyo, they naturally didn’t forget to invite colleagues to witness the event.

The Church of Truth and Happiness... was right at the top of the list...

This was a meeting room.

A long table, ten seats, a diverse group of people, young and old, male and female, gathered here.

After a prolonged silence, the man at the head of the table spoke up: "Regarding the movement from the Beichuan Divine Society, what are your thoughts?"

"How else can we think? The Beichuan Divine Society must have sensed the threat from our Church of Truth and Happiness."

A man dressed in a suit, wearing a simple crew cut, shared his opinion: "This means our indirect tactics are actually effective. Digging inside the Beichuan Divine Society, spreading news that shakes their faith... Consequently, the fake ’Beichuan God’ is forced to appear, just as we expected."

He talked and even began to laugh.

Yes, their constant pressure on the Beichuan Divine Society was precisely to force the ’Beichuan God’ behind it to reveal himself.

While Beichuan Si was calculating their every move, these adults engaged in capital and unclean trades were likewise scheming against the Beichuan Divine Society.

They deliberately wanted to force the hidden Beichuan God to come out into the open.

"So next comes the probing," a nearby old man said in a hushed voice, "The purported Beichuan God who can perform miracles... What kind of person is he really..."

After the old man finished speaking, a young and beautiful woman licked her lips and immediately followed up, "We must also be careful, it’s possible that this ’Beichuan God’ who has been put forward is a fake, and the real person is still hidden behind the scenes."

"No matter what, it’s crucial to figure out the true nature of the Beichuan God before we consider how to deal with the Beichuan Divine Society. If the other party is someone we can’t afford to provoke, then we will suspend all activities and avoid stirring any trouble. However..."

The woman revealed a smile, "If the Beichuan God turns out to be nothing special... everyone... I am curious to taste what this Beichuan God is really like."

The rest of the people glanced at the woman but said nothing more.

Only the man in the lead spoke coldly, "If it’s just someone put up by the Qiuxiao Conglomerate, you can do as you please, Bai Mian, but if it indeed turns out to be a character who has been controlling the game from the beginning, I also hope you, Bai Mian, won’t act recklessly. Try to emphasize cooperation as much as possible."

It must also be mentioned here that although their analysis might seem quite logical at first glance, a closer examination would reveal that their thoughts had completely deviated from the truth.

Because within the Beichuan Divine Society, there weren’t capital forces like theirs involved. Even if there were occasional donations, those were only from the parents of Qiuxiao Yunai and the parents of Shan Yuanmu Yuzi to give Beichuan Si face.

Their analyses that "the Beichuan God is a puppet put forth by capital forces" and "the Beichuan Divine Society, just like their Happiness Truth Sect, values interests above all else"... were all nothing but their own overly fanciful imaginations.

But given the dirty environment in which they operated, they subconsciously projected all their own malice in guessing about the Beichuan Divine Society.

Lady Bai Mian laughed softly upon receiving the Sect Hierarch’s reply, then bowed her head to thank him, "Then, thank you, Sect Hierarch."

The Sect Hierarch sitting in the leading position simply diverted his gaze towards the others, "Rongcang, when is the next batch of drugs due to arrive?"

The middle-aged man named Rongcang stood up, pondered for a moment, then replied, "In the near future... the exact timing is uncertain, it seems that the police have taken notice of my activities, I need some help from the Sect."

After pondering for a while, the man continued, "Then, let’s have Ogata assist you. Should two people be enough? Does anyone else have reports to make?"

No one spoke.

Within that atmosphere, the man said:

"Then, let’s conclude this meeting. Everyone must keep a low profile, the police have some awareness of our activities, and although they don’t seem to plan on taking action anytime soon, we need to be on guard. Be extremely cautious during this sensitive period, and make sure there are no slip-ups."

"Understood."

Everyone answered in unison and left the conference room.

Being one of them, Bai Mian naturally did the same.

However, her mood was noticeably more buoyant.

"There really are quite a few good things happening lately."

She narrowed her eyes.

The first was the man wearing a bird beak mask she had met at the gathering.

The second was the news released by the Beichuan Divine Society—the appearance of the Beichuan God.

To be honest, Bai Mian was already somewhat impatient.

Whether it was the bird beak mask or the Beichuan God, she wanted to meet them again.

But now was not the time... she had to hold back.

She took several deep breaths and stepped into the private elevator.

Bai Mian exited the building and got into a car.

As soon as she got in the car, she asked the driver without looking up, "Is ’that’ thing at home ready?"

"Everything is prepared, Lady Bai Mian," the driver answered respectfully, bowing his head.

"Is that so?" Bai Mian narrowed her eyes.

She felt a tingling pleasure rise in her heart.

Yet the colder her voice sounded, "Drive."

"Yes."

The driver in the front started the car, and after a smooth transition, it blended into the sea of vehicles...

On the other hand, Brother Beichuan, who had just returned from checking on the situation at the Beichuan Divine Society, sneezed loudly.

He looked towards the direction of Shibuya District and then opened the door to his home.

This Beichuan God appearance event—behind the scenes, it had already entangled the interests of many people.
