Chapter 57

Author: Lord Leaf

Charlie, Claire, and Loreen sat together at the same table. Clinton joined them and sat beside Loreen.

He asked Loreen with a wide smile as soon as he sat down, “Loreen, I heard that you’ve come to Aurous Hill to work for Emgrand Group, is that true?”

Loreen nodded. “Yes, I just started.”

Clinton smiled even wider. “What a coincidence! My dad is the deputy general manager of a department in Emgrand! I’ll ask him to look after you at work.”

Many people exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, Clinton, your dad is the deputy general manager of Emgrand Group?”

“Yup!” Clinton nodded proudly. “He was promoted last year.”

Someone quickly said in a flattering tone, “The annual salary of a deputy general manager must be several million dollars, right? That’s amazing! It’s no wonder your family is so rich!”

Clinton laughed and said, “That’s just the wages. My dad has quite a vast authority and a lot of side incomes. You guys must have heard about the luxurious hotel project from Emgrand Group, right

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, and with so many people pincering them, each of them fighters 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 fum

Yoshitaka turned toward Charlie, keeping his tone especially calm as he said, "Mr. Wade, the bounty was just issued minutes ago—calling the cavalry wouldn't be too late right now. As long as we keep anyone suspicious out, we'd be threatened a lot less."Pausing, he sighed. "You really shouldn't have refused my suggestion. If I had just called a chopper, everyone, including Ms. Sweet, would have been evacuated safely in fifteen minutes. Whatever outfit is coming after us, they'd never reach us that quickly."Charlie growled coldly, "Sure, take your chopper, but Tanya can decide for herself."Tanya quickly said, "I'm with you, Mr. Wade!"Yoshitake cringed a little.He was going to diss Charlie a little and try to salvage some dignity, but he didn't expect that even Tanya wasn't on his side.Hence, he promptly pressed, "Mr. Wade, you just said your people will be coming as phase two of our defense. Where are they now? When can they arrive?""You don't have to worry about that for n

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 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
