Chapter: 6712
Leaf coldly said, "Do you think I'll let you guys off?"
Pete Roger gritted his teeth and said, "Regardless of whether I die or not, I'd rather die at your hands than fall into their paws."
There was one thing Pete Roger didn't say aloud. If he had the choice, being poisoned by Leaf might be the best option right now, because those people behind him were ruthless and cruel, and if they got their hands on him, he would certainly die in the most painful way possible.
"Compared to that, it's better for Leaf to give himself a good time. It seems that the driver was also woken up by Pete Roger, and immediately made a firm decision to tell Leaf, 'Kill us, kill us, you take them away, and we'll just let you have a good time!' Leaf probably guessed why these two people didn't fear death, so he said, 'If you cooperate, I'll let Tavanna's three generations of descendants protect you, Japan is the Three-I Family's territory, those people in America controlling you from afar won't be able to reach Japan and kill you no matter how long their arm is.'"
"You think why would the Three-I Family protect us? We're looting Tavanna right under their noses today, once we succeed, the Three-I Family will be ridiculed all over the world. He knows if he found out, he'd want to personally kill us!"
"Leaf coldly said, 'I rescued Tavanna from your hands, that's helping the Three-I Family regain its face and reputation, avoiding a humiliating outcome where they're mocked and ridiculed by the whole world. If he doesn't give me any credit, then he's not worthy of being the head of the Three-I Family!'"
"If Tavanna was just coming to Japan for a concert before being murdered or gone missing, the embarrassment would be worldwide - it would be the Japanese Police Department. However, if Tavanna went missing from the Three-I Family party, that pot would have to be taken by the Three-I Family."
"Considering Tavanna's global influence, if Leaf doesn't intervene today and lets Pete Roger's group succeed, the Three-I Family will become a laughingstock all over the world, becoming the villain in the eyes of Tavanna's several billion fans. The impact on the Three-I Family's reputation and business would be immeasurable."
"Leaf believes that this matter will definitely leave Three-I Family head Sōtarō deeply indebted to him, not daring to say that he'll make future requests. However, at least he can expect a positive response. Pete Roger isn't stupid either; he understands Leaf's words and carefully ponders the logic, knowing that if he fails to act, it would mean death; if he doesn't cooperate with Leaf, he'd also die; or be handed over to the Japanese Police Department, which could lead to life imprisonment; and his family wouldn't let him off either. So, at this moment, the only hope for survival is to cooperate with Leaf. As long as Leaf gives the word, Three-I Family will definitely ensure his safety. In fact, it's better than being captured or killed."
"Now is the time to think carefully. Pete Roger immediately tells the driver, 'Listen to this gentleman and turn the car around!'" The driver also feels that this is the best choice, seeing Pete Roger has accepted Leaf's conditions and finally relaxed, saying quickly, 'What about the other brothers?'"
Pete Roger looks at Leaf and says, "Sir, all the cars except for those few ninjas are carrying my brothers who have been with me through thick and thin. If we follow you back, they will surely die without a doubt. Can't we also let them follow us?'" Leaf asks him, 'Do you think they'll listen to you?'"
Pete Roger nods heavily and says, 'They'll!' saying that his brothers have unconditional trust in him, doing whatever he tells them to do. If they know their actions have been ruined by you, they will understand that I've saved them."
Leaf nods and says, 'Okay, let them turn back around. I'll contact Three-I Family ahead of time to prepare. When we arrive at the location, all of them must surrender and get off the cars, with anyone daring to resist being killed on the spot!'"
Pete Roger opens his mouth and says, 'You can trust me, sir. I will explain it to them.'"
Leaf nods and says, "Alright, go talk to them."
Pete Roger presses the switch on his earpiece, opens his mouth, and says, "Everyone, pay attention. We're turning around at the front road junction and heading back to Tokyo Dome."
The earpiece immediately transmits a question: "Old big, why are we going back? We just managed to get them out...!"
Pete Roger speaks calmly: "The plan has failed. We have an expert in the car, and my brothers have already lost their fighting strength. Now we're in Tokyo's city area. Even if you all came together to kill them, it wouldn't be possible. Once the plan fails, we'll face what consequences, you should all be clear without me needing to say more. Right now, returning is the only way to survive. If you don't want to return, you can scatter and each escape, praying not to get caught."
He then immediately tells the driver: "Let's turn around now, no need to wait for their response."
The driver nods and immediately slows down to turn back towards Tokyo Dome.
At this moment, Tavanna and Trevor, hand in hand, come to the car front. Tavanna looks at Leaf with a complex expression, her tone losing the previous arrogance and boasting, but instead becoming somewhat hesitant: "Leaf... sir, I'd like to call my family and the embassy. This is such a serious matter, and I must seek the embassy's protection..."
Leaf says expressionlessly: "No way, just sit back down."
Tavanna can't help but ask: "Why not? These people are assassins. Don't you think we should at least report this to the Japanese police?"
"No way," Leaf answers coldly, his voice stern: "From now on, I'll take full responsibility for this matter. Without my permission, you have no right to make any decisions."
"But..." JrNovels.com
