  The voice on the other end replied, "Speaking. To what do I owe the pleasure, Mr. Mitsui?"Yoshitaka's brother growled low, "I'm not the one looking for you. It's Yoshitaka."Beside him, Yoshitaka reached out and snatched the phone, snapping at once, "You really don't know what's good for you, do you? Sending assassins after my guest?! How dare you?!"Yukihiro cleared his throat in embarrassment on the other end, "Mr. Mitsui, Tanya is the one we're after, and she's American—is she really your concern?""You fool!" Yoshitaka bellowed. "She's not just my guest! She's signed under the Universal Music label! I'm one of the shareholders, and you say she's not my concern?!"Pausing, his voice turned cold as he threatened, "Don't waste my time. You have two options—rescind the bounty and tell every Yamaguchi to stay away from Tanya, or you will all be enemies of the Mitsui Group! If you refuse, I will make sure that the Yamaguchi-gai will be rooted out entirely!"Yukihiro sighed. "This

  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

  Charlie walked over to Tanya, taking eyeliners and makeup brushes from the dressing table as he said, "Someone in America has put a bounty on you worth a billion dollars, so you're still under threat in Japan until you can reach Oskia."You and Trevor must therefore follow my instructions to the letter if you want to live—do whatever I tell you to do, go wherever I tell you to go, and don't ever question me. Understand?"Taya's face was pale as she blurted, "A-A billion… Just to kill me?!""Yes," Charlie replied, nodding. "Are you shocked by that amount of money? Hell, it's the first time I've ever heard someone wanting a woman dead for that much money. You might even make a Guinness World Record if you reveal that after your retirement."Tanya smiled wryly. "I'm sure the money isn't because I'm worth that much. They're worried that I'd talk too much and reveal their dirty secrets if I stayed alive…"Beside her, Trevor quickly said, "Well, since they want you dead so badly, you ju

  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

  Charlie pursed his lips. "Well, that complicates things."That's a huge bounty, and with the dead or alive clause, people are going to die trying, since it would mean a life of luxury for their family. Even the Mitsui bodyguards might stab Tanya in the back if they knew how much is being posted… And I know I'm being a pessimist, but even her boyfriend might not be able to resist that much money."At this point, we can't ask anyone for help, whether it's the local police or the American Embassy. If a single person in the building feels like making a billion USD, Tanya's dead."Pausing, he added, "But the Mitsui Residence would probably afford her some safety. They don't care about the money, and they have their own pride to protect. If anything, they would protect her however they can, but their ability to do so is the question.""Yes…" Nanako sighed worriedly. "That's why I asked you for help…""What do you think I should do?" Charlie asked."I-I hope you will protect Kokomi and

  The Iga clan was the strongest shinobi clan, but Charlie had nearly wiped them out in the Tokyo Rumble.The remnants had managed to change their strategy in time, recognizing their position and swearing fealty to the Ito family, sparing them the fate of destruction.Naturally, Tokyo Rumble was itself a clandestine free-for-all among different clans and mob outfits, so not many were aware of the Iga clan defecting.In fact, the Iga clan had actually been planning to buy time through defection and weren't truly sincere until they witnessed Charlie's strength on top of Mount Wintry.Since then, they were unfailingly loyal to the Itos.Be that as it may, soon after the client approached the Ito clan, they issued a billion-dollar bounty. Even Hattori Hanzo, the leader of the Igas, thought it was a great opportunity to make a lot of money. They'd be eating well for decades just from that deal, and it most certainly wouldn't come to them if they missed out this time.However, he promptl
