Chapter 60: Chapter 56: Mr. Aoyama is Dead, It’s Your Turn Now

Kanagawa Prefecture, Er Gong Town.

The salty sea breeze slapped against the face and waves crashed against the shore with a constant splash.

Not far away, three cars were parked by the road.

Seven or eight men were idly chatting while smoking.

Yamakawa Ichiro, not sporting a helmet and dressed in a brown kimono, sat atop a huge rock, fishing with his rod, while the spray that occasionally splashed onto the rock beneath him had already soaked through his wooden sandals and tabi socks.

After an unknown amount of time, as a van drove up, the seven or eight men stopped their idle banter and stubbed out their cigarettes.

The van came to a stop and a middle-aged man kicked Panasonic Xingzhi, who was bound hand and foot, out of the passenger side, following closely behind. He then called out to Yamakawa Ichiro, who was fishing on the rocks, "Mr. Yamakawa, I’ve brought you the person."

"Yamakawa? You’re from the Yamakawa Family!" Panasonic Xingzhi exclaimed in shock and anger on the ground. He had not expected that his kidnappers were from the Yamakawa Family. He felt no fear, only rage, "You’re courting death! Better release me now!"

He had never dreamed that such a minor countryside force would dare to lay hands on him. Compared to the torture he had suffered, he felt even more humiliated.

How dare the Yamakawa Family! How dare they!

"Damn it, Mr. Panasonic, you scared all my fish away." Yamakawa Ichiro, who had fished all night to no avail, blamed Panasonic Xingzhi, then stood up to reel in the fish hook he had thrown into the sea, turning around and tossing it toward Panasonic Xingzhi. The fish hook, with the line, drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed precisely in front of Panasonic Xingzhi.

As Panasonic Xingzhi continued to make threats, oblivious to what was about to happen, the middle-aged man who had brought him there raised his foot and stomped on his face, pinning his head to the ground and preventing any movement. He then bent down to pick up the sea fishing hook from the ground and thread it through his mouth.

With a soft thud, the sharp hook pierced through the inner wall of his mouth, coming out partially on the outside.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Panasonic Xingzhi let out a piercing scream, tears streaming from the pain, his mouth quickly becoming a bloody mess.

Yamakawa Ichiro, with an innocuous face, smiled gently as he slowly began to reel in the line.

The fishing rod soon bent into an arc.

Panasonic Xingzhi’s body began to be dragged.

"Ah! Stop! Please stop! Ahhh!"

Panasonic Xingzhi screamed hysterically, and in an attempt to lessen the pain, he scrambled on hands and knees, tumbling and crawling towards Yamakawa Ichiro, frequently falling but quickly getting up again. A trail of blood dripped from his mouth the whole way.

Those present were all Yamakawa Ichiro’s close confidants; they were no strangers to the cruelty hidden behind his innocuous facade.

"Ah!" Watching Panasonic Xingzhi crawl in the sea water, now just inches away, Yamakawa Ichiro sighed wistfully and said, "If only fishing were this easy. Sadly, fish don’t chase the line."

"Nozawa Finance... I don’t want to collaborate with Nozawa Financial Corporation anymore, just... just let me go."

In just a short while, Panasonic Xingzhi had lost his previous arrogance. His cheek was nearly torn off by the fishing hook, and his gaze towards Yamakawa Ichiro was filled with sheer terror as he begged for mercy incoherently.

Idiot! A madman! This is a madman!

"Mr. Panasonic, do you know what your biggest mistake was?" Yamakawa Ichiro asked, and without waiting for an answer, he continued, "It was disturbing Mr. Aoyama. That makes me seem incompetent, unable to help him resolve issues, and instead bringing him trouble."

Panasonic Xingzhi knelt down, submerging his upper body in the sea water, pleading nonstop.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. When I return, I will apologize to Mr. Aoyama. Mr. Yamakawa, please spare me. If I die, the Noguchi Group will have an all-out war with the Yamakawa Family, but if I live, the Yamakawa Family won’t lose anything and can get what you want."

Damn country folk, so brutal!

"The things that are too easily gained are often just as easily lost," Yamakawa Ichiro said with a sunny smile, shaking his head and pointing to himself, "Only what is obtained through bloodshed will not be coveted by others."

Having said that, he picked up a phone and dialed.

At that moment, Aoyama Xiu Xin had just returned home from a late shift and was having dinner with his sister-in-law.

"Ring, ring~ Ring, ring~"

The phone rang and Aoyama Xiu Xin was about to answer it when his sister-in-law stood up, took the phone, and handed it to him, smiling, "Xiu Xin, you already work hard enough. Let me handle these small things; otherwise, it would make me seem useless."

"Thank you, sister-in-law," Aoyama replied with a smile, then took the phone to his ear and answered, "Mosi mosi?"

"Mr. Aoyama, this is Yamakawa Ichiro."

Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t speak, one hand holding the phone to his ear while the other continued with the meal.

"Panasonic Xingzhi won’t be troubling you anymore," Yamakawa Ichiro said with utmost respect.

"Mr. Aoyama! Mr. Aoyama! Please forgive my impertinence last night, I was wrong, I am willing to pay any price for your forgiveness... Ah!"

Yamakawa Ichiro gave a little lift to the rod to stop Panasonic Xingzhi’s rude interruption, and added, "Tonight, the Yamakawa Family will formally commence an all-out war with the Noguchi Group."

Aoyama Xiu Xin hung up the phone and set it aside.

He continued to enjoy his dinner as if nothing had happened.

"Xiu Xin, who was that?" Aoyama Qingzi noticed he hadn’t spoken a word during the call and feared some bad news.

Aoyama Xiu Xin just smiled lightly, "Just some work report from the staff, nothing important. Let’s eat."

The decisiveness and ruthlessness of Yamakawa Ichiro somewhat surprised him. He couldn’t quite believe that the benign looking chubby man had reacted so quickly.

Indeed, just as he had said, he had proved with his actions that his judgment of character remained impeccable.

Tonight was sure to be eventful.

"Mr. Panasonic, Mr. Aoyama has been taken care of, and it’s your turn now, so please say your final goodbyes to this world," Yamakawa Ichiro said as he hung up the phone.

Panasonic Xingzhi, kneeling in the seawater, shook his head frantically with a look of horror in his eyes, "No! I don’t want to die! You can’t kill me! Please let me make a call, I’m begging you, Mr. Yamakawa! Mr. Yamakawa! Mr. Yamakawa!!!"

Yamakawa Ichiro did not heed his pleas, rolled up his sleeves, and then jumped into the sea with a splash.

Seeing this, Panasonic Xingzhi instinctively turned and ran.

But just two steps out, Yamakawa Ichiro grabbed the fishing line with his bare hands and yanked it back, causing Panasonic Xingzhi to scream in pain, stumbling backward and falling down.

After choking on a few mouthfuls of seawater, he flailed about trying to get up, but Yamakawa Ichiro had already picked up a rock with a smile and smashed it down hard onto his head.

Bang!

Panasonic Xingzhi fell into the seawater once again.

Under the cover of night at the beach, Yamakawa Ichiro, bending at the waist, stood in knee-deep seawater, emotionlessly lifting the rock and smashing it down again and again upon Panasonic Xingzhi, who struggled to rise, splattering the crimson blood and salty seawater in all directions.

His plump and pale face was covered in bloodstains.

Finally, Panasonic Xingzhi ceased struggling, completely collapsing; the patch of seawater around his body was dyed red and gradually began to fade.

"Splash!"

Yamakawa Ichiro discarded the rock, gasping for breath, with sweat beading on his forehead and his pallid face showing a sick and neurotic excitement.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, waded ashore, and without looking back, waved a hand dismissively, "Throw it far away, don’t pollute the nearby sea."

And to think, he was quite environmentally conscious.

Several subordinates bowed and went to deal with the body.

Coming to the side of the car, Yamakawa Ichiro stripped off his wet clothes without a second thought, exposing his pale, chubby flesh, took the dry clothes passed by a subordinate, changed, and then slipped into the back of a car.

The fleet of cars then started and headed in the direction of the city.

When he returned home, his father, Yamakawa Zhuang, and his brother, Yamakawa Youji, sat expressionless at the dining table.

The hot dishes on the table had turned cold.

"Ichiro, where the hell have you been goofing off this time? Father has been waiting for you to come to dinner," Yamakawa Youji angrily slammed the table and scolded.

"Father!" Yamakawa Ichiro bowed to Yamakawa Zhuang and then casually took a seat at the table, picked up the cold rice, and started to eat as he lightly explained his tardiness, "I just went and killed Panasonic Xingzhi, so that’s why I came back late."

Just as he prepared to continue scolding his brother for lacking manners, Yamakawa Youji was suddenly speechless, then he stood up abruptly and yelled, "Idiot! What did you say?"

Yamakawa Zhuang also stared intently at his youngest son.

"I killed Panasonic Xingzhi and attacked a lot of the Noguchi Group’s industries, and by now, the Noguchi Group might have figured out the identity of my men and be discussing how to retaliate," Yamakawa Ichiro explained calmly about his actions that night, smiling at the two, "So are Father and Brother waiting to die?"

"You bastard!" Yamakawa Youji kicked him over, mounted him, and landed two heavy fists, then fiercely growled while grabbing his collar, "You’ll end up getting all of us in the Yamakawa Family killed someday!"

"You’re wrong, I will cause the death of many people, but their deaths will pave the way for our Yamakawa Family to rise," Yamakawa Ichiro wiped the blood from his mouth corner, smiling, then pushed his brother off, went forward, knelt before Yamakawa Zhuang, placed his hands on the ground, and bowed his head, "Father, please call a high-level meeting immediately to discuss whether to hand me over to appease the Noguchi Group’s anger or to go to war with them completely."

"Either way, please decide quickly."

Yamakawa Zhuang was so angry his temples throbbed, his complexion so dark it could drip water, and with a fierce slap to Yamakawa Ichiro, he got up and left, roaring without turning back, "Meeting! War!"

Some gangs, indeed, to avoid disputes, would hand over troublemakers to enemy gangs, but how could Yamakawa Zhuang ever hand over his own son.

"Yes!" As the heir of the Yamakawa Family, Yamakawa Youji, although reluctant, had no choice but to comply with the decision of his father, the family head.

After casting a severe glance at his brother, he hurriedly left to contact the gang’s high-ranking officials for a meeting.

"Ha! Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"

Behind him, in the brightly lit room, Yamakawa Ichiro turned over, lying on the floor, and erupted in loud laughter.

Just as Yamakawa Ichiro had anticipated, the Noguchi Group had already figured out the identity of the attackers and was organizing forces to carry out retribution in Kanagawa Prefecture.

As for the life and death of the leader, Panasonic Xingzhi, it was no longer important; he had just taken power and had not fully controlled the gang—only a few people cared about his fate.

The next leader would be determined in this act of revenge, so all the leaders were enthusiastic.

Whoever distinguished himself in this retaliation against the Yamakawa Family and helped recuperate the Noguchi Group’s losses would undoubtedly be the most powerful contender for the next leader.

Yamakawa Ichiro had killed Panasonic Xingzhi first not only to make good to Aoyama Xiu Xin but also to cause disarray within the Noguchi Group, each with their calculations.

The Yamakawa Family, lying in wait, had an even greater chance of victory.

Of course, the Daokuan Association was not likely to watch the Noguchi Group be completely annihilated, and the Yamakawa Family didn’t have the strength to do it anyway—ultimately, the situation would have to be resolved through negotiations.

However, before negotiations, a fight was essential.
