We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

After the cabinet made its decision, the meeting adjourned.

Although the cabinet members knew they were powerless to change the outcome,

they still had to inform those who had provided them with benefits over the years.

Therefore, less than half an hour after the meeting ended, top-tier East Ocean syndicates such as the Yamakou Group, Inamura Association, and Zhuji Society all received the news.

Upon learning that the government was about to crack down on organized crime, these groups finally ceased their activities.

They had no choice but to stop; at this critical moment, whoever stood out would become the target.

The Inamura Association and Zhuji Society even instructed their members to break into smaller units, conceal their identities, and keep a low profile.

At this time, no one was thinking about joining forces to attack the Yamakou Group; they were all struggling to protect themselves.

The heads of the Inamura Association and Zhuji Society fled the country as quickly as possible to hide.

They dared not return until the government's operation was over, and could only remotely control the daily management of their groups.

As for the Yamakou Group, there was no escape; after all, they were the main players in this affair, and they had caused the trouble.

At this moment, at the Yamakou Group's headquarters in Kobe, Ichikuma Tagang convened an emergency meeting of senior leaders after receiving the news.

This was truly a matter of life and death for the group; if not handled properly, the Yamakou Group, a gang with decades of history, might disappear from the world.

Who would have thought that the government would intervene?

Moreover, they were directly cracking down on organized crime.

Everyone knew who the 'black' referred to: the Yamakou Group.

The violent syndicates, with their many misdeeds, had long been loathed, but people were helpless against them.

Although it was not yet known how the East Ocean government would deal with the Yamakou Group, it was clear that this time it would not be easy to handle.

At this time, in the Yamakou Group headquarters' meeting room, the group leader, wakagashira, advisor, honbucho, wakagashira-hosa, and other senior executives of the Yamakou Group, except for a few who were away on business, were all present.

Looking at the dozen or so senior executives in the meeting room, group leader Ichikuma Tagang said with a heavy heart, "I just received news that the government is about to take action against us to restore East Ocean's good image internationally. Before they take action, let's think of a way to deal with this crisis. If not handled properly, you and I may face imprisonment, or even death."

As senior executives of the Yamakou Group, each of them was fierce and ruthless, otherwise they would not have their current positions. Therefore, their hands were stained with countless blood, and once the government took it seriously and investigated their crimes, none of those present could escape; they could all face the death penalty.

East Ocean is a country that still retains the death penalty.

According to East Ocean criminal law, those who commit murder are sentenced to death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for more than three years.

However, experts say that whether to impose the death penalty depends on whether the circumstances of the crime are particularly serious.

In East Ocean, if a suspect kills only one person, the possibility of a death sentence is very small, but if the murder occurs in a public place and causes serious adverse effects, the perpetrator is very likely to be sentenced to death.

Even if the death penalty has a lengthy appeals process after the verdict, they will still be imprisoned, waiting for the death penalty to arrive during a long period of imprisonment.

And this, of course, was not what these people present wanted to see.

They had been in high positions for a long time and had earned so much money that they were reluctant to die at this time!

As soon as Ichikuma Tagang's words fell, everyone in the room fell silent.

A sense of panic filled the air.

After a long time, Honbucho Tagashita Sayou stood up and said, "Everyone, what we need to do now is to find a way to reach an agreement with the Inamura Association and Zhuji Society to stop their attacks on us. We have suffered heavy losses during this time. If the Inamura Association and Zhuji Society continue to entangle with us, then we will not be able to properly deal with the crackdown on organized crime."

At this time, they did not know that the Inamura Association and Zhuji Society had already reached an agreement to act in a low-key manner during this period.

Anyway, they had the Yamakou Group in front to bear the brunt.

Even if the country wanted to crack down on organized crime, it would first crack down on the Yamakou Group.

As long as the Inamura Association, Zhuji Society, and other groups did not cause any trouble during this period, the government could not do anything about them.

"This morning, I was still trying to contact the heads of the Inamura Association and Zhuji Society, but they simply ignored our show of weakness," the head of the Yamakou Group Gokushin Rengo-kai stood up and said with a sigh.

After making preparations in the past two days, the attacks from the Inamura Association and Zhuji Society no longer caused much damage to them, and the Yamakou Group even counterattacked those two groups from time to time.

For example, yesterday, the Yamakou Group's Osaka branch successfully attacked a small team of the Inamura Association, causing the Inamura Association to lose 12 official members.

This was also the best result the Yamakou Group had achieved during this period.

Despite this, the Yamakou Group was unwilling to continue to entangle with them.

After the Zhuji Society and the Inamura Association cooperated, their strength was already above the Yamakou Group, and a long-term fight would only be detrimental to the Yamakou Group.

Therefore, even if they achieved good results, the Yamakou Group was unwilling to continue like this with them.

"Let's put the Inamura Association and Zhuji Society aside for now. As long as we make good preparations, they can't do anything to us. Let's continue to discuss how to deal with the government's crackdown on organized crime.

According to the intelligence I received, this time they are clearly going to take real action, and not just talk about it anymore. If we don't think of a way, you and I won't have a good time.

According to the intelligence I have obtained, the East Ocean Customs has already put all the names of the Yamakou Group's senior leaders on the list of those prohibited from leaving the country. If you want to run, you can only secretly leave East Ocean by boat.

But that also means that you will never be able to return to East Ocean in the future. I believe that none of you present are willing to stay abroad for the rest of your lives. Let's think of a way as soon as possible to overcome this difficulty together!" Ichikuma Tagang said directly, stopping everyone from continuing to talk about the Inamura Association and Zhuji Society.

What time is it, and you are still thinking about gang competition. Ichikuma Tagang felt that he was going to be angered to death by these senior leaders.

But Ichikuma Tagang was also helpless against these people. Although he was the group leader and had a very high prestige within the Yamakou Group, these were all independent group leaders. Even if they obeyed his management, they could not treat these people like secretaries.

Many of these people who can become senior executives of the Yamakou Group are not because they have great management skills, but because of their contributions to the Yamakou Group over the years. They have risked their lives for the Yamakou Group to have their current positions, relying mainly on brute force.

Therefore, sometimes asking them to think of a way is actually a difficult task.
