Fleur clenched her teeth and said, “How is that possible?! If he had any connection with Ashley and Curtis, he wouldn't have just stood by when Mr. Chardon attacked them twenty years ago!”

Tarlon furrowed his brows and said, “Well, British Lord, you make a valid point. I feel that there are many strange aspects to this matter with countless possibilities, but each one seems to have some unexplainable elements…”

As he thought about this, Tarlon pondered for a long time, then looked at Fleur and asked, “British Lord, do you think there might be another possibility?”

Fleur replied, “Speak up!”

Tarlon hurriedly said, “British Lord, I think it's possible that the other party may not actually have any connection to your master. It's also possible that he just happened to come across that painting and learned about your identity from Miss Dijo or Vera by chance. He is deliberately using this painting to intimidate you because he knows that you’re Marcius’ disciple! Think about it. If the

    "The second option…" Charlie mused to himself for a moment before saying solemnly, "It's to find someone with enough strength to threaten the people who posted the bounty and make them rescind it."Tanya pursed her lips. "That's not a really long list, and there are a lot of people on that list who are also involved in that scandal. Forget helping—it's already a blessing if they weren't accomplices…"Pausing, she then asked, "How about I try to reach out to the president-elect? Make peace, ask for his help?""Making peace is fine, but not at this time," Charlie replied. "First of all, from his perspective, you'd look like you're just using him like a tool to save your own skin. Secondly, he has yet to take office, so his authority is not strong enough. If he pressures the people who posted the bounty on you right now, the people who posted the bounty might not necessarily submit."Moreover, you should know that making peace in this situation is no different from defecting to his

    As soon as they stepped out, the SWAT teams swarmed and subdued them.The Inagawa-kai captain announced, "We're coming out to surrender, Officer! But you have to make sure the Yamaguchi-gai won't shoot us in the back!"Yukihiro himself arrived at the entrance just then and shouted, "Yamaguchi-gai! It's me, Yukihiro! Drop your weapons and surrender! Do not resist!"Being the clear losers of the entire battle royale, the Yamaguchi-gai members were all too happy to be arrested and shouted back, "Yes, Sir! We won't shoot!"Relieved, the Inagawa-kai dropped their weapons and started toward the door.The Bluerockers' leader slipped in amongst the Inugawa-kai and was arrested wholesale.By the time the Yamaguchi-gai members came out, they had been so traumatized from being hunted from the front and back that they were in tears as they were led out.They were veteran gangsters who used to strut in the underworld, but what they were put through today was more than what their minds could

    Yoshiyasu, Yukihiro, and Makoto were left dumbfounded as the Tokyo Commissioner broke the news.Naturally, Yukihiro and Makoto were truly dumbfounded that they had messed up so terribly, whereas Yoshiyasu was just pretending.He had told his samurai to run as soon as they finished their job so that it could never be traced back to him, but that also meant he hadn't received confirmation that they had indeed succeeded.However, he most definitely could believe the Tokyo Commissioner's report—if the man said Yoshitaka and Kokomi were dead, they were definitely dead.Burying his face in his palms, he wailed, "No!!! Yoshitaka… Kokomi! You didn't deserve this… I will definitely avenge you!"Makoto shuddered in fear and quickly said, "L-Listen, Mr. Mitsui. The Yamaguchi-gai got here first, and they stopped my boys from going in. From there, you know for sure that your brother and niece were killed by the Yamaguchi-gai!"Yukihiro was left seething right then—he and Makoto were both goin

    Even as the mob bosses argued furiously, the Tokyo Commissioner had had enough and approached them.Slapping Makoto first and then Yukihiro, he bellowed, "Both of you, shut up! The responsibility is on both your families, so don't think you're getting away for one second! I've already been informed that casualties are in the hundreds, and as the respective leaders of violent gangs, you will both be sentenced short of execution. I will even privately lobby for the courts to send you both to the same cell in the same prison, and you can keep arguing there all you like!"Just hearing that casualties numbered over hundreds and the possibility of a life sentence left both mob bosses in despair and shaking in their boots.They hadn't actually personally overseen their gang's affairs for years now, having delegated everything to their lackeys. Even if they broke the law and someone needed to be punished, they would always make their lackeys do it—mob bosses like them basically stood above

    Just then, two SWAT officers dragged Makoto to the Tokyo Commissioner, announcing, "Commissioner. Takao Makoto of Inagawa-Kai."The Tokyo Commissioner glared at Makoto and growled coldly, "You've had it easy for too long, huh? Or just feeling suicidal?"Makoto quickly flashed an apologetic smile. "Commissioner… Are we sure there hasn't been a misunderstanding?""Misunderstanding, you say?" The Tokyo Commissioner growled murderously. "How many men did you send to kill Tanya Sweet, huh?""Oh, uh…" Makoto trailed off and quickly said, "To tell the truth, I only sent my men after I heard the Yamaguchi-gai were coming, but only to stop the bounty and not claim it. I mean, I'm sure you know by now that some nutjob posted a billion-dollar bounty on the poor girl's head… I mean, a billion US dollars! If the Yamaguchi-gai got it, it's game over for the rest of us!""Bullshit!" An angry bellow thundered just then, and everyone turned to see that it was Yukihiro, who was being brought over

    Yukihiro never could have expected that some SWAT officer was being so insolent, even with him, the most infamous mob boss of Yamaguchi-gai.Every police officer in Japan knew him, if not every Japanese citizen. He clearly hadn't noticed what they had done to Makoto when they had cuffed the latter, and so, he cursed, "Are you stupid?! Don't you know who I am?! How dare you take up that tone with me!"The SWAT officer snorted coolly as he glared at Yukihiro in disdain. "A dead man still running his mouth, huh? Do you even understand how badly you've screwed up?!""Ow!" Yukihiro exclaimed in pain as the SWAT officer shoved his gun's cold, hard barrel against his head so forcefully it left a lump.But before he could snap again, the SWAT officer snapped coldly, "You have three seconds!"Then, beckoning to two other officers, he barked, "If he doesn't comply in three seconds, tase him!"While the taser was used to incapacitate with high-voltage currents and used for non-lethal take
