Chapter: 6736

"After saying that, Mitsui Ryotaro threatened in a cold tone, "Yoshida Hiroki, I don't have time to waste on this. Right now, I'll only give you two options: immediately recall the order and instruct all Yamaguchi-gumi members not to approach or touch Tavanna; or from now on, consider my family as your enemy! I can assure you that if you choose the latter, I will thoroughly eliminate Yamaguchi-gumi.""

"Yoshida Hiroki listened to these words and said with a tone of embarrassment, "Mr. Mitsui, you should know that this is worth ten billion US dollars, which has enormous purchasing power and can do many things. I won't need to say more about it. All Japanese black organizations are now vying for this money. If you don't let me get it, what if my competitors do? Then I'll be done for. Ten billion US dollars is enough to let Yamaguchi-gumi's competitors surpass us. At that time, Yamaguchi-gumi won't need your intervention; we'll just be eliminated by our competitors.""

"Mitsui Ryotaro said, "I can tell you that whoever wants this money will have to take action. That person is my enemy, and I will eliminate them! If you know what it means to be a sage who takes advantage of the times, then you should stay out of this matter now and not only preserve yourself but also enjoy its benefits!""

"Yoshida Hiroki smiled sarcastically, "Mr. Mitsui, do you think your family has the ability to eliminate all Japanese black organizations? Even today's prime minister wouldn't dare say such arrogant words.""

"In addition, do you know how many people there are in Japan who make a living through illegal activities? There are almost 30,000 registered with the police. And then there are those unregistered members of organized crime groups, at least tens of thousands more!""

"If your family takes action against these 30,000 people, Japanese prisons will be bursting! At that time, the balance of power in organized crime will be thoroughly disrupted, and all members of organized crime will see your family as their number one enemy. Those new members of organized crime will swarm onto the streets to fight for territory, and the entire country's law and order will become a mess!""

"Mitsui Ryotaro naturally knew that Yoshida Hiroki's words were not empty; organized crime had already become a part of Japanese society, and the government recognized their existence and tacitly allowed them to operate. They usually don't clash with the government, and both parties maintain a twisted balance. If this balance is broken, the entire society will be plunged into chaos."

"So, even the Japanese government can't solve the yakuza; Mitsui Ryotaro certainly didn't have that ability. He originally just wanted to scare Yoshida Hiroki a little bit, at least get the Yamaguchi-gumi to back off from this matter, and then go and intimidate other gang leaders afterwards. But now he finally realizes where the problem is - these people normally give themselves face every day, even dare not to have any disobedience towards him. However, with 10 billion US dollars in front of them, for these yakuza organizations, if they don't take it, their competitors might take it away from them, and once taken, they would be definitely killed without a doubt."

"Mitsui Ryotaro spoke coldly, threatening: 'Yoshida, I don't care what excuse you have, once you take action, I won't spare you!'"

"Yoshida Hiroki didn't back down, speaking strongly: 'Mitsui-sir, this time's operation is a joint effort by all Japanese yakuza. If you target the Yamaguchi-gumi afterwards, they'll mobilize hundreds of thousands of members to take revenge on your family! We'll kill one by one, two by two! Isn't that like snatching fish from a net? Mitsui-sir, we people are cheap with our lives, and it's only fair if we can exchange ours for yours!'"

"What kind of situation is this? Against Yoshida Hiroki, anything that slightly offends Mitsui Ryotaro would be the most nauseating thing. In such a situation, Mitsui Ryotaro would definitely use his family's influence to make the Yamaguchi-gumi uneasy in various aspects, sweep and grab gambling debts, and then launch another round of attacks on violent crimes and old case resolutions, causing great losses for the Yamaguchi-gumi and possibly even shutting down an entire industry for a year."

"The Yamaguchi-gumi is disgusted, although it's secretly seething with resentment. However, they wouldn't dare to take action against him. It's likely that they can only take a blow and swallow their anger."

"But if Mitsui Ryotaro really decides to confront Yoshida Hiroki, he would absolutely be fearless and willing to take risks."

"The Mitsui family is powerful, but Japan isn't yours to open or close. You may have more money and power than me, but you don't dare to fight or kill. We're all just like snatching fish from a net - the Mitsui family can rest easy for one day, but it's impossible to sleep peacefully forever."

Once you define a problem-solving method within violent means, Mitsui Ryotaro should be worried.

As it stands now, Yoshida Hiroki will not give up on the ten billion dollars. He may not need this ten billion dollars, but he also needs to ensure that his competitors don't get their hands on it either. Otherwise, as long as his competitors have even a glimmer of hope, he'll do everything in his power to fight for it.

Just when Mitsui Ryotaro was boasting about his boldness, Yoshida Hiroki suddenly turned the tables and gave him a tongue-lashing that's just a split second away from happening. But what Mitsui Ryotaro didn't expect was that Yoshida Hiroki would respond so quickly, as if giving him face by calling him "Old Man".

At this point, Mitsui Ryotaro is filled with rage and frustration, feeling like he's trying to ride a tiger without a saddle. He's shocked by Yoshida Hiroki's response and unable to shake off the pressure.

Mitsui Ryotaro was at a loss for what to do. On the phone, Yoshida Hiroki said: "Mr. Mitsui, if you want Yamaguchi-gumi to withdraw from this competition, that's not impossible. The other party is offering ten billion dollars under the table, and I'm not greedy enough to accept it either. If you can give me five billion, I'll make sure all Yamaguchi-gumi members stay out of it. What do you think?"

Mitsui Ryotaro was furious, shouting: "You're treating me like a criminal? You're asking me for five billion, and others will too! What's the point of it all?"

Yoshida Hiroki replied calmly: "If you can give me ten billion, I'll make sure Yamaguchi-gumi listens to your every command. Together, we'll protect that American singer, no matter who tries to take her life."

Mitsui Ryotaro shouted back: "Don't dream, Yoshida! There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!"

Yoshida Hiroki didn't get angry; instead, he smiled and said: "You see, you're not letting me make money, nor are you willing to compensate me. The whole world is full of good things, but it's impossible for the Mitsui family to monopolize everything. Yamaguchi-gumi has thousands of members who need to eat and drink too. If someone cuts off their livelihood, that's like killing their parents."

When he didn't respond on the phone, Yoshida Hiroki said: "Mr. Mitsui, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up then."

After saying that, Yoshida Hiroki didn't even give Mitsui Ryotaro a chance to respond before hanging up the phone. JrNovels.com
