House of Greed

The House of Greed is a building and criminal group same as Under Eden, introduced in Taimanin Kurenai. The large manor is located in Yomihara, it was used for slave auctions of Tendo Kazuma before the events of Taimanin Asagi (1).

The building may have also be Edwin Black hidden house in Yomihara and since then serves as such again.

History
Tendo Kazuma was a criminal that founded the group using the "House of Greed" as his base of operation. Around the time the Fuuma clan was still leading the Taimanin, long before Taimanin Asagi 1. Kazuma was once a simple slave and prostitute, until he used his charm and was bought by Fulst and learned about hell technology and magic. Unknowingly becoming a puppet of Nomad and Edwin Black, with some of his memories sealed.

The group he founded had deals with Ryuumon, which was normally against Nomad. They were responsible for the distribution of a drug named Halleluja, which resulted in Section Three and the Taimanin investigating them. Having their fingers in slave trade, organ trade and illegal body modifications, they operated within Tokyo Kingdom and Yomihara.

Kazuma would use Flesh Doll, demons, he created, to defend himself or hire guards. However, when attacked by the Taimanin, Shinganji Kurenai, all he could do was flee and use his connections in Section Three, a traitor, named Reiichiro Tomari to create a trap. Using a club named King's Pleasure for an ambush, the group captured both Kurenai and her colleague Ayame. However, unknown to the group this was the plan of Edwin Black that wish to awake Kurenai demonic powers and turn her to his side. Black already had send Felicia his daugher to work undercover as a slave of Kasuma.

Even after training and torture, Kurenai and Ayame were able to free themselves and Kazuma was killed by Felicia ending the "House of Greed" as a group.

Timeline TABA
In TABA the group is mentioned as destroyed and some of the recordings of Ayame and Kurenai fall into Fuuma Kotaro hands.

Timeline RPGX/Action
As Kurenai is much younger over 10 years and around the age of Fuuma Kotaro, unlike TABA were she could be older than Asagi. It is impossible to say if the group as such ever existed. As most events of Taimanin Kurenai did not happen. However, the home itself the "House of Greed" was reused as Edwin Black's house in Yomihara. One of the many he at times visits, leaving his buttler Kii and maid Mismarin to keep it save. In RPGX it was attacked by Ishtar but Mismarin was able to push her away. The house is cast under an illusion spell, making it almost invisible for normal people.

Speculation
Some solid hints connect both houses to the point it very much the same house.

Kazuma was unknowngly a puppet of Black and could not recall how he obtained the level of power or even that location as a home, that was full of hell technology. Felicia and Edwin Black had easy access to the house at all times and it would make sense to set it up as a trap for Kurenai if it already belonged to Black. It is located in Yomihara in both cases and uses the same art and some of the same internal rooms, though technically its not new that art gets reused, it seems in that case just very specific and intentional. Their is enough of a time gap or just a very different timeline which did not even require a Kazuma or Kurenai trap, leaving the house just open for Kii and Mismarin. Mismarin and Felicia both share also multiple trades (innocent/insane/murderous/loyal), which at the very least thematically also connect the people and places.
