Drake had originally thought that the spirit world would come to find him first, but he hadn't expected that the progress on Stella's side would be faster.
No matter how many industries the yakuza operated, or what form they used to package themselves, they couldn't change the fact that violence was their core.
And unfortunately, when it came to violence, Stella was stronger than everyone else.
So even though she didn't have any operating methods, and didn't have the support of any chaebol groups, Stella had used an unexpected method to lead a group of rabble to become one of the largest organizations in Tokyo.
And using this method, Stella had also gained the qualifications to sit at the negotiating table of the dark world.
Of course, violence couldn't solve everything. The world that Old Thief had set up was especially like this, and the role of wealth and power couldn't be ignored.
Like the few people who could truly speak in the dark world, although they didn't have much combat power, the power that they could control was definitely not weak.
Compared to them, Stella could be said to be a pauper, but now Stella could also come into contact with the circle of the supernatural.
And this circle was much larger than what Drake had originally thought, and youkai actually only occupied a very small part.
This was the human world after all, and humans were the main component.
Apart from those spirit power users who lived in seclusion in the deep mountains, not asking about worldly affairs, there were also exorcists, onmyoji, ninjas, and other supernaturalists operating in ordinary human society.
And the most numerous among them were martial artists, and those dojos with proper inheritances had methods to control spirit power.
And Stella had also roughly understood the relevant information these few days, as for the source of the information.
That former yakuza boss who had been threatened by Stella's underlings to be encased in cement had made a great contribution.
Heaven could testify, he had been eating hot pot and singing songs in his own territory, and had suddenly been attacked.
The bodyguards that he had hired at great expense hadn't even lasted a move before being defeated by that little girl who looked like she was in her teens, what could he do?
Stella wasn't a devil either, and after making him hand over all of the resources in his hands, she had her underlings send him to the police station to turn himself in.
This could already be considered the best ending for him, how could someone who was in the yakuza world not have enemies. Prison might be a bit safer for him, who was without anything.
And through the newly obtained intelligence channels, Drake had noticed a special person.
Kanesada Kurama, the great jeweler of the dark world, a nouveau riche who you couldn't tell was a human just by looking at a photo.
Drake couldn't even understand what irregular shape a person's skull had to be in for them to grow into that kind of appearance.
Some people said that money was all dyed with the blood and tears of laborers, but that was just a description, but Kanesada Kurama's money had truly been obtained through the pain and tears of others.
Among the youkai of the island country, there was a particularly famous existence, and that was the Yuki-Onna. And the Yuki-Onna were especially special in this world, because their tears were the most precious jewel, the Ice Tear Stone.
Kanesada Kurama had imprisoned a Yuki-Onna, and had relied on her tears to accumulate astonishing wealth. And that Yuki-Onna was precisely Hiei's younger sister Yukina, from among the protagonist group.
It could be said that this person Kanesada Kurama was the worst kind of scum, and it wouldn't be a pity even if he died countless times.
Of course, this person's ending wasn't very good either, he had first been set up and tricked into bankruptcy, and had then even lost his life in the end.
After Stella had learned what disgusting things this guy had done, she hadn't been able to hold back at that time. If she hadn't been unable to find the place where Kanesada Kurama had imprisoned Yukina, this girl would have directly rushed over to save her.
Drake did know that the spirit world had news of Kanesada Kurama, in the original plot, Little King Yama had given Yusuke Urameshi the task of saving Yukina, which had then made the gambling game that had made Kanesada Kurama bankrupt appear.
Thinking of this, Drake had decided to find Yusuke Urameshi and Botan, to see if he could get some information.
But Yusuke Urameshi should be busy with the trial for resurrection these few days.
The content of his trial was to hatch the egg of the spirit world beast that he had gotten from Little King Yama, and that egg would absorb the emotions in the heart of the one hatching it as nourishment for growth.
If the one hatching it possessed a good heart, then what would hatch would be a kind and harmless creature, and Yusuke Urameshi would be able to be resurrected.
And if it was the opposite situation, then what would hatch would be a ferocious beast that would eat Yusuke Urameshi.
In Drake's view, this trial had been passed from the start, because although Yusuke Urameshi was a delinquent youth on the surface, he had always had a kind heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have died to save someone.
But Yusuke Urameshi really should temper his temper a bit, and the trial was also useful to him.
But when Drake had come to Yusuke Urameshi's house, he had only seen caution tape and a house that had been burned into ruins.
Drake had only then remembered that the final stage of Yusuke Urameshi's resurrection had been a choice.
During the fire, Yusuke Urameshi hadn't hesitated to choose to give up the chance of resurrection, using the energy in the spirit world beast's egg to save Keiko Yukimura, who had been in the fire, and he had therefore been allowed to be resurrected.
And the fire had already been something that had happened two days ago, so it seemed that Yusuke Urameshi should have already been resurrected now.
So the next day, Drake had seen an unexpected person at the school.
It was a child who was less than a meter tall, wearing quite vintage cyan clothes, and on the hat on his head was embroidered a large character for "King," and there was also a Jr mark on the brim of the hat.
What had attracted Drake's attention the most was the pacifier that he was holding in his mouth, the energy that had gathered on it was the strongest that Drake had seen in this world.
Little King Yama, the son of King Yama, the ruler of the spirit world, and also the person who had single-handedly facilitated Yusuke Urameshi's resurrection and becoming a spirit detective.
There were only two people in the teacher's office, Drake was sitting in a chair, crossing his legs, looking at Little King Yama, who was standing on the desk before him.
"So a big shot has actually come, I hadn't expected that Lord Little King Yama would actually condescend to come here, is there something that you want to instruct?"
Little King Yama's eyes were quite serious, but his heart wasn't as calm as his surface!
He was different from Botan, and although he had been constantly inputting his spirit power into the demon sealing ring in his mouth, causing him to be very weak, his realm was still there.
So he could see that Drake was like a dormant volcano right now, and his body contained power that was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.
'What a joke! How can there be this kind of human, he's simply more terrifying than Old Man. Those guys don't have any relevant information at all, I'll dock their pay when I get back!
No, I have to calm down! It'll be all over if I anger the other party here!'
After doing quite a bit of mental preparation, Little King Yama had opened his mouth, saying, "It's nice to meet you, I've heard Botan and Yusuke mention you, so I was curious and wanted to come and see you with my own eyes."
Drake had continued, saying, "You've seen me now, so what are your thoughts?"
Little King Yama had said seriously, "You're simply terrifying, if a powerhouse like you gets serious, you might destroy this world!"
Little King Yama understood that being straightforward was the most suitable attitude when facing a powerhouse of Drake's level. Trying to fool him with rhetoric would only backfire.
Drake had smiled, saying, "Rest assured, I won't be crazy enough to do something like destroying the world!"
Little King Yama had breathed a long sigh of relief, this was the answer that he had wanted to hear. He wasn't worried that Drake would lie to him, not to mention that a person of this level wouldn't bother to lie, and besides, there was no need for it either.
"Then I can rest assured, I only came here for this answer today."
Drake had smiled, saying, "Is that so, I had thought that you had come to warn me to be well-behaved in the human world!"
Little King Yama had looked at Drake, saying, "Warning is only a show of force. If you really do something that harms this world, we will stop you even if we give everything.
And you should also understand this, so warnings are completely superfluous.
Of course, we in the spirit world won't interfere with you doing anything, and we will also try our best to help if there's anything that you need us to assist with."
Drake couldn't help but look at this Little King Yama, who looked unreliable, in a new light, in his memories, Little King Yama was a quite willful personality.
But in the negotiation with him just now, he had been able to be neither humble nor arrogant, both expressing his attitude and position, and also not making Drake feel repulsed in the slightest.
He had even left space for further contact in the future, you could say that he was worthy of being a person who could manage the spirit world in place of King Yama!
