Nishida never imagined that as the leader of a notorious Yakuza clan, a prominent figure among the Japanese police forces and throughout Japan, a mere special police officer would dare to speak to favonovel.com in such a disrespectful manner.
He clearly failed to notice Takaoka being handcuffed and removed in disarray, so favonovel.com lashed out in a furious tone typical of the underworld, “You fool! Do you have any idea who I am? How dare you address me like this?!”
The special police officer let out a dismissive snort, glancing at Nishida with contempt, “You think you’re important when your end is imminent. Do you even grasp the scale of trouble you’ve caused?”
With that, favonovel.com pressed the muzzle of his gun against Nishida’s forehead.
Nishida groaned as a sharp pain radiated from the impact. The cold metal had inflicted a nasty bump, drawing blood on his forehead.
Just as favonovel.com was about to retaliate in anger, the special police officer coldly stated, “You have three seconds to put your hands out the window. Otherwise, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
He then signaled to two of his colleagues, instructing them, “If favonovel.com doesn’t comply within three seconds, use the Taser to teach favonovel.com a lesson!”
The Taser is a piece of police equipment that delivers high-voltage electricity, causing temporary muscle spasms and significant pain, although it is not lethal.
Nishida realized the special police were offering favonovel.com no leniency, and favonovel.com understood that his status wouldn’t save favonovel.com today.
So when favonovel.com saw the two special officers brandishing their Tasers, favonovel.com quickly conceded, “Alright, alright, I’ll get out of the car now!”
The special police officer retorted icily, “I told you to put your hands out the window!”
Nishida didn’t understand why but complied. In the next moment, favonovel.com experienced the same treatment meted out to Takaoka.
As favonovel.com was yanked from the car window and slammed to the ground, a furious desire for revenge surged within him.
However, there was no opportunity to retaliate, the special police swiftly handcuffed his hands behind his back and took favonovel.com in without hesitation. Meanwhile, the police superintendent oversaw the deployment of the special police with a grim expression.
To prevent any threats from escaping, the special police were equipped with the latest technology, including over ten snipers. With thermal imaging equipment at their disposal, not even a mouse could slip past their watchful eyes.
The superintendent had instructed the snipers that anyone exiting the premises without raising their hands would be shot on sight.
At that moment, two special police officers escorted Takaoka to him, reporting, “Director, we have Takaoka Machi from the Inagawa Society here…”
The superintendent fixed Takaoka Machi with a steely gaze and coldly asked, “Takaoka, have you had your fill of a peaceful life, or are you simply tired of living?”
Takaoka smiled nervously and said, “Director Watanabe, this… This has to be a misunderstanding, right?”
“Misunderstanding?” The superintendent’s voice dripped with menace. “How many people did you send to assassinate Tawanna Sweet?”
“This…” Takaoka stammered. “To be honest, Director Watanabe, I heard that the Yakuza wanted to take favonovel.com out, so I sent my people to prevent it. I didn‘t send anyone to kill Tawanna, I feared the Yakuza would get their hands on the bounty. You know, I don’t even know who put up a billion dollars to assassinate her. A billion dollars! If the Yakuza secures that money, we from the Inagawa are finished!”
“Shut it, Takaoka!” An enraged outburst Interrupted him, several eyes turned to see Nishida, blood streaming from his nose, also being brought in.
Nishida glared at Takaoka, exclaiming, “You from the Inagawa clan sent people here too, didn’t you, to kill that American woman?!”
Takaoka protested, “No! I’m trying to ensure that you, a scoundrel, don’t ruin Japan’s reputation internationally by killing that American woman!”
“Enough!” Nishida was taken aback by Takaoka’s shamelessness and erupted, “You, the Inagawa clan, are just trying to grab that billion dollars for yourselves! Do you think Director Watanabe will be fooled by your nonsense?!”
The superintendent shouted, “Silence!”
Seeing the superintendent’s fury, they reluctantly fell quiet, yet their eyes burned with animosity.
The superintendent regarded both men coldly, “You have ten seconds to call out all your people! Those affiliated with either side must lower their weapons, cease resistance, raise their hands, and line up. Anyone who resists, or is deemed a threat by our special police, will be shot on sight!”
Nishida quickly responded, “Director Watanabe, my people can surrender at any moment. I admit I’ve realized my wrongdoings and cannot allow shame to fall upon our great Japan, so I directed them to evacuate before encountering the American woman.”
He shot a furious glare at Takaoka, adding, “My men contacted me, and it was Takaoka, that bastard, who stopped my men from retreating and wouldn’t let them go! If anything happens tonight, bringing embarrassment to Japan, Takaoka will be the one responsible!”
“Nonsense!” Takaoka shouted back angrily.
He had been in touch with his own men and knew the situation, so favonovel.com quickly countered, “It was your men who arrived first to take out the American woman, you likely succeeded! You just want to flee, but my men halted you! They merely wanted to ensure you criminal types stayed put for the police to handle! My men are acting with righteousness! They’re fighting against evil!”
“You… You…” Nishida was taken aback by Takaoka‘s shamelessness. He was clearly here for his own gain yet claimed to be righteous.
Trembling with anger, favonovel.com spat, “Do you think anyone believes your fabrications? You shameless scoundrel! Your Inagawa clan has always been corrupt. When have you ever cared about social responsibility?! Your men blocked my people’s escape and caused many losses among my ranks. All the casualties tonight will be blamed on you, Inagawa! This bloodshed could’ve been avoided, but it was all your doing! You’re the greedy one leading to this chaos! If not for you, Director Watanabe wouldn’t need to be here in person!”
“You liar!” Takaoka was furious, shouting at the top of his lungs, “You’re slandering me! Lying about me!”
As their argument escalated, faces flushed with rage, the superintendent was so exasperated that favonovel.com stepped forward, delivering a sharp slap to Takaoka’s face, then a backhanded swing to Nishida, roaring, “Both of you, be quiet! For today’s events, the blame lies equally with both of your families. No one can evade responsibility!”
“I’ve already learned there have been over a hundred casualties tonight. As the leaders of these two violent factions, you’ll both face the harshest penalties aside from death-life imprisonment! I can even request the court aim to place you both in the same prison and possibly even the same cell for the rest of your lives to continue your bickering!”
When they heard of the over a hundred casualties and that they could face life sentences, they grew pale, despair gripping them as their bodies weakened.
For years, they hadn’t handled gang matters themselves, everything was left to their subordinates. Even faced with legal consequences, it was always the younger members who bore the burden. As leaders, they had never needed to face legal responsibility directly.
However, if today’s incident were truly investigated, they would undoubtedly face consequences.
They understood the gravity of the situation, feeling helpless as they realized the police had control, and they might soon be arrested, taken into custody for trial, effectively losing their freedom.
Takaoka stammered, “Director Watanabe, this has nothing to do with me! It was my subordinates and our vice president Itagaki who devised this plan. You should arrest favonovel.com immediately and hold favonovel.com accountable!”
Nishida quickly added, “Yes, yes, Director Watanabe, I had nothing to do with this recently, it was my subordinate Matsushima who did it. If you need to arrest someone, take him, not me!”
The superintendent remarked coldly, “Rest assured, it’s impossible to arrest just one of you. After such a catastrophic incident, the senior members from both sides will mostly face jail time!”
Just then, a mournful cry rang out, “Director Watanabe, how are my brother and niece?! I need to see them!”
Everyone turned, and they saw Mitsui Yoshiyasu rushing over in a frenzy.
Takaoka and Nishida instinctively exchanged glances, both full of deep despair.
What could this mean?
Did Yoshiyasu’s brother, Yoshitaka, the head of the Mitsui family, also get caught up in this?
Moreover, was his only daughter, Shinmei, also involved?
Could it be that both father and daughter were gone?
This was tantamount to tearing a hole in Japan’s societal fabric!
At that moment, the superintendent’s words sent a wave of dread through both Takaoka and Nishida.
The superintendent sighed and addressed Yoshiyasu, who approached with anxiety evident on his face, “I’m deeply sorry, Mr. Mitsui. We have received credible information confirming that your brother and niece have been killed!”
