We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

On June 15th, a shocking event occurred in Japan, reverberating both domestically and internationally.

Tango Ichio, the leader of the Yamakou-gumi, delivered a report to the world via Japanese television.

In the broadcast, Tango Ichio explained the background and consequences of the Su's Group incident to the viewers.

Tango Ichio delivered this statement with a sorrowful tone, as if he were very reluctant to have Muraguchi Doshi apologize in such a way.

Japanese television stations have very high viewership in Japan, and some countries with large Japanese diasporas also have significant viewership.

As a result, this broadcast quickly spread around the world.

Many mainstream international television stations rebroadcast the video on their own channels.

After all, this incident in Japan had generated significant buzz, and public attention was very high.

Unsurprisingly, the news spread throughout the world in less than half a day.

In Hong Kong, Su Cheng naturally learned of this matter as quickly as possible and watched the entire live broadcast from the Japanese television station.

Although the broadcast was in Japanese, with Xiao Ai's real-time text translation, he understood what the famous Yamakou-gumi leader Tango Ichio was saying.

After watching the broadcast, Su Cheng's first reaction was that it seemed the pressure from the Japanese government was finally having an effect.

At this time, he was unaware of the conflict between Muraguchi Doshi and the Yamakou-gumi.

Su Cheng still believed that everything was as Tango Ichio had stated.

After all, Su Cheng didn't know that the matter was actually related to the entire Yamakou-gumi.

This matter was a secret among the Yamakou-gumi's upper echelons and had not yet been leaked.

Therefore, Su Cheng was naturally unaware of all this.

At 3:00 PM Japanese time on the same day, Japanese television broadcast live again to the world. This time, the content was somewhat disturbing, and before the broadcast, a warning message appeared: "Graphic content, viewer discretion advised."

At this point, everyone already knew what Japanese television was broadcasting.

Because in the morning, Tango Ichio had said that Muraguchi Doshi would publicly apologize in a live ceremony that day.

And the method of apology was the traditional Japanese method of atonement—seppuku!

In the main hall of a Buddhist temple in Tokyo, Muraguchi Doshi sat ashen-faced on one side of the hall, while on the other side, eight Japanese coroners were seated.

On the floor in front of the main hall, a conspicuously colorful tatami mat was laid out.

Normally, those who commit seppuku have already seen through life and death and would not show the ashen face that Muraguchi Doshi displayed.

But Muraguchi Doshi's seppuku apology this time was not voluntary but forced.

Therefore, he naturally couldn't make that kind of expression of having seen through life and death.

At this moment, Muraguchi Doshi felt unwilling in his heart but could only accept it.

However, he had already arranged everything. The Yamakou-gumi was unrighteous first, so he would be unrighteous in return.

Looking at the people watching the spectacle, the fire of anger in Muraguchi Doshi's heart gradually disappeared.

As things stood, everything was already irreversible.

In that case, he would see if the entire Yamakou-gumi could be buried with him.

Of course, that was a matter for later; it was irrelevant to him because he would not be able to see it. His lifespan was less than an hour.

Muraguchi Doshi was wearing hemp clothing, accompanied by one of his confidants and three Yamakou-gumi members in traditional gang attire.

This confidant was Muraguchi Doshi's most trusted subordinate, responsible for quickly severing his head after Muraguchi Doshi committed seppuku to reduce his suffering.

Because everyone knew that one could not kill oneself instantly with seppuku.

Having thought it through, Muraguchi Doshi sat cross-legged on the ground with a calm expression.

Time passed, drop by drop.

The number of people around the world watching the live broadcast grew.

Millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions…

Japanese television had never had such high viewership, and over half of it actually came from abroad!

As one of the top three television stations in Japan, Japanese television had already covered many places overseas with its satellite signals, especially countries with large Japanese diasporas, such as the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Canada, and so on. Japanese television had already successfully applied for broadcasting rights.

Therefore, in many places around the world, people could watch Japanese television.

It was just that people usually didn't want to watch it; after all, who would watch a television station from a country unrelated to them?

Now it was different. There was no shortage of people around the world who liked to watch the excitement, especially with such a stimulating program today, which excited many people.

In the eyes of many, Japan's perverted behavior of seppuku was incomprehensible. Perhaps only Japan in the whole world would do this.

Time passed, drop by drop. Even if Muraguchi Doshi wanted to delay, there was no way, because people were constantly giving him hints that further delay would be meaningless.

Although his expression had calmed down at the beginning, his legs still felt weak when this moment arrived.

He used all his strength, with his confidant supporting his shoulders, and managed to stand up.

Walking to the tatami mat, Muraguchi Doshi sat down again.

His confidant squatted on Muraguchi Doshi's left side, and one of the three Yamakou-gumi members placed a dirk in a wooden tray and handed it to Muraguchi Doshi.

The so-called dirk was actually a dagger.

Muraguchi Doshi knew that he was really going to die this time.

But he had no choice.

Taking the dirk from the Yamakou-gumi member's hand, he saw that the dirk was less than a foot long, and the blade and edge were extremely sharp.

Muraguchi Doshi sat on the tatami mat, helplessly took the dirk, raised it above his head with both hands, and then placed it in front of him.

Although this seppuku was not voluntary, as a native-born Japanese, he still understood the rules.

Muraguchi Doshi stood up again, bowed to everyone in the main hall and to the cameras broadcasting live, and said: "I acted rashly and wrongly attempted to force Su's Group to sell land at a low price through threats. Afterwards, I continued to attack and threaten the other party's employees, causing a great loss of reputation to Japan. All the blame lies with me. I now commit seppuku to apologize. I ask for your inspection!"
