Chapter 307 Problems Faced by the Mingyue Club (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)

Just when Chen Yu embarked on his journey back to China with Jounouchi Hiromi, the Mingyue Society encountered some trouble.

Actually, the emergence of these troubles was to be expected. As a rising force, the Mingyue Society naturally sought to acquire interests of its own. However, interests do not materialize out of thin air; the rise of one power often comes at the expense of another's interests.

For such occurrences, Kyuuzai Ryousen and Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu, the de facto leaders of the Mingyue Society, had long been prepared. After all, establishing a new power in a place like Tokyo was unlikely to happen without encroaching on someone else's piece of the cake.

Even with the emergence of completely new industries, the decline of old industries is an inevitable part of their rise. It's all part of the natural order.

However, clearly, the existing powers are not willing to willingly cede their established interests, and a struggle between the two is inevitable.

As a supercity that has been Japan's largest city for hundreds of years since the Edo Period, Tokyo's complexity stems from more than just official forces. The black and gray existences are deeply intertwined and complicated enough on their own.

As a new Transcendent Organization, the rapid growth of the Mingyue Society was astounding. It quickly rallied a group of influential members to secure its interests above board. Below the surface, the powerful Transcendents of the Mingyue Society were also defending the Society's interests.

But in comparison to the struggle for power above board, which didn't involve bloodshed, the fight behind the scenes was undoubtedly much more cruel.

"This month, the Kanto Kendo Alliance has been increasingly brazen in their provocations against us. I think it's time we taught them a lesson, lest others think the Mingyue Society is weak and easily bullied!" At the internal meeting of the Mingyue Society, a somewhat burly man spoke with indignant anger.@@@@

Despite appearing very agitated and angry, his eyes glinted with cunning—it was clear that his show of anger did not reflect his true feelings.

But just as the rugged man smiled in response to Kojo Kyoko's words, her icy gaze turned directly to him. Her eyes, filled with murderous intent and displeasure, froze his smile and even stalled the movement of his raising hand.

"Everything about the Mingyue Society serves the Lord, not the interests and ambitions of certain individuals," Kyoko stated as she stood up from her seat and walked toward the rugged man. Each step of her footfalls seemed to pound against his chest, making his heart feel as though it was about to burst.

Seeing this, the others immediately fell silent as if struck by winter's chill. Some with good relations to the rugged man wanted to plead on his behalf, but Kyoko's intimidating presence left them unable to utter a word.

"Harboring delusions of using the might of the Mingyue Society for your personal ambitions, do you recognize your sins?" Standing before the rugged man, Kyoko looked at him and questioned him.

Kyoko didn't need to guess to know the man's intentions.

Kenjutsu Schools like these, under the command of the Mingyue Society, were originally small factions struggling to preserve their dwindling legacy, barely maintaining survival; their status within the Kendo Alliance couldn't possibly compare to that of the larger schools.

Originally, everyone was merely scraping by, unable to compete for lack of strength, which was not much of an issue. But when some factions on the brink of collapse gained inheritance through Kyoko's intervention and joined the Mingyue Society, leading to a revival, ambitions inevitably emerged.

Everyone wanted to gain more resources and benefits, but a behemoth like the Kanto Kendo Alliance was obviously not something small factions could provoke; even if they were revived, they had merely evolved from ants that could be crushed effortlessly to bugs that required some effort to crush.

What to do in this situation? Using the power of the Mingyue Society to confront the Kanto Kendo Alliance naturally became the ideal choice for these people.

But these people's calculations were ultimately misguided.

"Spare my life, please!" Finally, the rugged man let out a plea for mercy, but before he could finish his plea, a cold light like that of a crescent moon had already swept across his neck.
