Hearing that Charlie was willing to help, Nanako was relieved and quickly said, "Don't worry. I'll send Hanzo over to you in Tokyo Dome. Should I tell Kokomi, too? So that the Mitsuis will fully cooperate?""Sure," Charlie nodded. "Give Kokomi the full picture. I'm going backstage to Tanya. If the bounty is revealed and her entourage finds out, things could get worse."Pausing, he then added, "Also, warn the Mitsuis not to call the cops. I know how efficient and the standard in which they operate here in Tokyo, and they could make things worse too.""Understood," Nanako quickly nodded. "I'll contact Kokomi right now!"With that, Charlie hung up and hurried backstage.The dome was circular, with the concert stage on the northern end, while Charlie's VIP box was in the southern end.It was a little far, so Charlie ran at top speed to avoid any surprises, all while calling Claire.Once she answered, Charlie spoke calmly, "Hey, Dear. You should go back to the hotel with Loreen later

As the biggest mob organization in Japan, the Yamaguchi-gai had dozens of thousands of members, holding strong social status and influence over Japanese society. It was even alleged that their business scale had reached sixty billion back in 2014.Naturally, the figures were hardly precise as the media had deliberately inflated their strength for sensationalism. They did so by counting every business affiliated with the Yamaguchi-gai to get those numbers.For example, take one of the hottest Tokyo red-light districts, which the mob only had significant control over but did not actually completely own. It supplied a hundred million USD in yearly revenue but was summarily put on the Yamaguchi-gai's ledgers. Even if they considered the red-light district a company subsidiary, it meant the Yamaguchi-gai still didn't own all the shares of said subsidiary—60%, at best.Moreover, the revenue was just the total earnings without including operating costs like rent, raw ingredients, alcohol

From Yukihiro's point of view, a little probing would only leave him with a bad taste in his mouth at this point.Yoshitaka would definitely use the Mitsui Group's influence to harass the Yamaguchis in every way, framing it as a campaign against mob violence or even reviving cold cases.It would definitely inflict a lot of losses on the Yamaguchis, if not outright deny them a year's worth of income.Even if they were seething, they wouldn't self-destruct to bring the Mitsuis down, and might even take the insult lying down.However, if they really had to make enemies of Yoshitaka, Yukihiro knew he had nothing to lose.The Mitsuis were the top dogs of Japan, but they did not own the country. Even if they had the money, the Yamaguchis had guns. If they wanted a fight, they had it.And when physical violence was brought to the table, it was Yoshitaka who would have a problem.At this point, Yukihiro was not giving up on the one billion.It was either paying him the same amount or a

The backstage hallway was long and straight, dividing into a Y-shaped intersection with two entrances.However, even with two paths of escape, there was no way of running past the samurai in such a narrow path, while the many rooms down the hallway were enclosed and had no emergency doors from which to escape.Hence, with the samurai cutting them off, they were completely surrounded.On top of that, they had no guns. With so many people pincering them, each of them a fighter who could match the average ninja, there was no escape.Hence, everyone's faces turned ashen, aside from Charlie and Kathleen.Even Yoshitaka, brimming with confidence a second ago, realized in horror that he might really die here.But at that moment, Charlie's eyes flashed coldly as he turned to Yoshitaka, "Can you provide immunity if I kill?""Wait, what?!" Yoshitaka was having a brain fart and was even more confused when Charlie asked something so crazy. "W-What did you just say?"Charlie was left fuming

When the samurai started charging, they presumed Charlie and the others were victims at their mercy. That was why the ones at the front were only focused on cutting them down and claiming Tanya's head, while the ones at the rear were considering how many more chops they should add on the corpses to display their savagery.And so, none of them expected their helpless victim to fight back with such terrible savagery, knocking down eight of their men in a split second!It only left them further horrified to see that their dead comrades still had their eyes wide open with various cosmetic items sticking out of their heads.The ninjas were the best when it came to wielding sneak weapons, launching shurikens out of their sleeves, and claiming the lives of many unsuspecting victims.However, that still meant a ninja could only throw two shurikens at best—one from each sleeve, meaning that each ninja could at most kill two. None of them could have expected someone to kill eight people with the
