We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

After discussion, everyone quickly reached a decision.

They would send several high-ranking members to Tokyo to try and persuade Tokushi Murakuchi to take responsibility for the matter.

If Tokushi Murakuchi refused to take responsibility, they would directly threaten his entire family. If he didn't agree, they would wipe out his whole family.

To put it hypocritically, this was for the greater good. Whether Tokushi Murakuchi wanted to take responsibility or not, he had to!

From Kobe to Tokyo, it's only about 500 kilometers.

These Yamakou-gumi executives directly took a helicopter to Tokyo, which only took them two hours to reach the vicinity of Tokushi Murakuchi's office.

As for the Yamakou-gumi's leader, Kazuo Tagawa, he should have, in theory, fled abroad to avoid the trouble, like the leaders of the Inamura-kai and the Chukichi-kai.

But Kazuo Tagawa didn't do that. He didn't even leave the Yamakou-gumi headquarters in Kobe.

Naturally, there were reasons for this.

The Inamura-kai and Chukichi-kai were not the primary targets of the government's crackdown this time. Although they were both on the customs' blacklist, they could still successfully sneak out of the country by boat to avoid the limelight.

But Kazuo Tagawa was different. The Yamakou-gumi was now a key organization under government surveillance, and as the leader, the government would quickly know about any move he made, so it was impossible for him to hide.

Moreover, if Kazuo Tagawa hid and didn't show his face, it would be easier for the government to attack the Yamakou-gumi. After all, Kazuo Tagawa had managed the Yamakou-gumi for more than thirty years, and his prestige had reached its peak. If he directed the Yamakou-gumi to do anything, the entire country of Dongying could fall into chaos. This was a threat that would make the government not dare to act rashly.

But if he ran away and hid, it would be difficult to command the Yamakou-gumi.

In addition, although Kazuo Tagawa was only the third代目 (daime, generation leader) of the Yamakou-gumi, he was not the founder. However, he had served as the leader for the longest time, and the Yamakou-gumi had flourished under his leadership, becoming the largest underworld force in Dongying.

Therefore, Kazuo Tagawa had a very deep affection for the Yamakou-gumi. The Yamakou-gumi was like his flesh and blood, and Kazuo Tagawa couldn't bring himself to hide alone and let the Yamakou-gumi face the crisis on its own.

Now, he was old.

When he was young, he was too reckless, and he had already suffered internal injuries, and they were the kind that couldn't be cured.

Therefore, Kazuo Tagawa had long felt that his days were numbered. It would be good if he could live a few more years.

Under these circumstances, Kazuo Tagawa had already put life and death aside. The Yamakou-gumi was the most important thing to him. Kazuo Tagawa didn't want to see the Yamakou-gumi, after he had brought it to its peak, then fall. This was the culmination of his life's work.

In Tokyo, in the Chuo District, in Tokushi Murakuchi's office, several Yamakou-gumi executives secretly met with Tokushi Murakuchi.

Tokushi Murakuchi was very surprised to see these Yamakou-gumi executives.

However, Tokushi Murakuchi was not afraid of these executives. He himself was one of the Yamakou-gumi's executives, and even more so, a regional warlord of the Yamakou-gumi, managing all the Yamakou-gumi members in the entire Tokyo region. His power was immense, and his position was no less than that of these headquarters executives.

"I wonder what brings you gentlemen here?" As soon as these executives came in, Tokushi Murakuchi asked.

"Mr. Murakuchi, the Yamakou-gumi is now in crisis because of your actions. The government has decided to carry out a crackdown on organized crime, and the primary target is our Yamakou-gumi. All of this is because of the trouble you have caused, so you must take responsibility for this. Only then will our Yamakou-gumi have a chance to successfully overcome this crisis. Therefore, Mr. Murakuchi, please commit seppuku and apologize!" One of the executives sat on the sofa in the office, looked at Tokushi Murakuchi, and said very directly.

"Yes, Mr. Murakuchi, we ask that you consider the overall situation and take full responsibility for this. Your sacrifice can be exchanged for the safety of the Yamakou-gumi. It is an honor for you as a Yamakou-gumi executive. I hope you can consider it carefully," another executive continued.

"Mr. Murakuchi, you have been a member of our Yamakou-gumi for more than twenty years. I believe you also don't want the Yamakou-gumi to fall into a crisis of being eliminated. Therefore, on behalf of the nearly ten thousand official members of the Yamakou-gumi, I hope that Mr. Murakuchi can use his life to exchange for the safety of the Yamakou-gumi. This matter was caused by you, and it should be resolved by you. I hope you can understand!" The third executive continued.

At this time, Tokushi Murakuchi also knew why these headquarters executives had come to him.

Commit seppuku and apologize?

How was that possible?

He didn't have such noble sentiments!

To him, the Yamakou-gumi was just a good background for plundering money. To ask him to dedicate his life to the Yamakou-gumi, he wasn't that stupid!

At this moment, he secretly reached into his pocket, and in his pocket, there was a pistol.

As the head of the largest Yamakou-gumi in Tokyo, Tokushi Murakuchi naturally had his own pistol. Moreover, recently, because of the Chukichi-kai and Inamura-kai, the members of the Yamakou-gumi now carry weapons with them even when they sleep, and Tokushi Murakuchi was no exception. This pistol of his, except when he was taking a bath, basically never left his body.

"Ask me to commit seppuku and apologize? That's impossible forever. Everything I've done has been with your consent. Now you want to blame all the responsibility on me. I absolutely cannot accept it!" Holding the pistol, Tokushi Murakuchi suddenly had courage. Despite facing several Yamakou-gumi executives, he remained calm.

Compared to the Yamakou-gumi, he cherished his own life more.

In the eyes of us Chinese, seppuku is a very perverted thing!

However, in the spirit of Dongying Bushido, "seppuku" is considered a glorious act of righteousness.

Although seppuku is very painful, in fact, this pain is deliberately created, because the spirit of Bushido feels that this is how it appears.

But Tokushi Murakuchi didn't have such noble thoughts. He cherished his life very much.

Even if it meant betraying the Yamakou-gumi, he wouldn't hesitate!

At this moment, Tokushi Murakuchi had thought about many, many things.

It seemed that the Yamakou-gumi was going to abandon him.

Since that was the case, he no longer needed to keep his identity as a member of the Yamakou-gumi.

Tokushi Murakuchi had been operating in the Tokyo area for many years, so the forces here were basically under his control.

"It seems that it's time to take all the Yamakou-gumi members in the entire Tokyo area and start my own business," Tokushi Murakuchi thought secretly.

Previously, a large number of cadres and members of the Yamakou-gumi's direct organization, the Sangen-gumi, had left and formed a new organization.

He was naturally very clear about this matter.

Therefore, at this moment, he had the intention of emulating the Sangen-gumi.
