Chapter 106: Chapter 28: You’ve Made Me Suffer

Ishii Takamasa was in a rage today.

For decades of diligent work, rising from a petty thug on the streets, Ishii Takamasa believed he had never shorted his brothers and had never harbored any disloyalty toward Mr. Inakawa. Yet now, he was being marginalized and framed by Mr. Inakawa—it would infuriate anyone.

How could someone like Nagashima Takeshi be an undercover? Drugs, murder, rape, abusing the weak, he was involved in everything. Yet, Mr. Inakawa believed this guy was an undercover and wanted him to capture this guy to prove his innocence... If not for Sazaki Gen’s help, he might still be in the dark!

If Mr. Inakawa wanted to remove him, he would have no complaints; the position of president could be relinquished at any time! But of all people, why did Mr. Inakawa choose to handle it in the least dignified way...

The more Ishii Takamasa thought about it, the angrier he got. He slammed Rinka’s face against the porthole in the cabin, making the door panel bang loudly.

"No, no, no... It’s coming!" Rinka screamed a high-pitched shriek.

Her face was flushed; her eyes were blurred, about to take off in place, when suddenly a face appeared outside the glass window. Sazaki Gen was pounding on the door, yelling at Ishii Takamasa to get dressed.

The latter scrambled, pulling up his pants while reassuring Rinka.

Tonight was indeed unlucky; this was the second time he had been interrupted.

Donning a coat, Ishii Takamasa opened the door and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Sazaki Gen was sweating profusely, his hair disheveled. He spoke quickly as he walked, "You need to drive to the Daiba in the Harbor District immediately. There’s a fishing tackle shop at 1-5 Hirokoji, the owner is a human smuggler. Give him my name, and he’ll send you to Korea. Stay there for a while and wait for my news..."

"What’s going on?" Ishii Takamasa grabbed him.

"Stop asking, the less you know, the better..."

"If you don’t tell me, I won’t leave." Ishii Takamasa frowned. He had a bunch of brothers relying on him to eat; how could he just walk away?

Sazaki Gen took a deep breath, dragged him into a nightclub cabin, ordered the girls inside to get out, and then said seriously, "Inakawa Sejo is dead."

Ishii Takamasa was stunned, "How... how did he die?"

Sazaki Gen didn’t answer. He reached for his throat and after gagging, spat out a slender latex bag filled with half-transparent liquor.

It was a trick he learned from Mexican drug dealers, stuffing a latex condom in his throat, pouring the liquid from his mouth into it, tying a knot with his tongue, and swallowing it—a trick originally used for drug smuggling, but he used it for murder.

Yes, Sazaki Gen spiked his own drink.

During toasting, he pretended to be nervous and forcefully clinked glasses, splashing half of the drink into Inakawa Sejo’s glass. He then downed his drink in one go to apologize. Naturally, Inakawa Sejo wasn’t suspicious and drank the poisoned liquor.

No matter how careful Sazaki Gen was, residual liquid would be left in the mouth, so his lungs were throbbing, his breathing was particularly rapid, and the sweat on his forehead was mainly due to physical discomfort.

Sazaki Gen briefly explained the situation and urged him to prepare for escape, taking portable, easily liquidated items. Ishii Takamasa stood still and asked, "What about you if I leave?"

"I have my own way to solve it, don’t worry about me..."

"How will you solve it? With your life?" Ishii Takamasa asked, "Was it really necessary to go this far?"

Sazaki Gen was silent for a moment, heavily sat on the sofa, sweat pouring down his forehead. The aerobic exercise just now accelerated blood circulation. Vision a bit blurry, he said hoarsely, "I’ve heard that Inakawa Sejo wanted to deal with you tomorrow."

"So I must die?"

"You’ve gone too far."

"What did I do wrong?!"

"You’ve turned the entire Inakawa Association into your brothers."

"We were brothers, to begin with! We all swore when we joined!"

"This is the Inakawa Association, not the Ishii Association or the Takamasa Group." Sazaki Gen said as he unbuttoned his shirt, "You control money and people. I manage affairs in the Kantou Branch; under us, we have more people than the Inakawa family."

For a moment, fury clouded Ishii Takamasa’s mind; he almost smashed his glass and shouted ’This is outrageous’—why could that old bastard be president, and not him?

But Sazaki Gen’s pained look was like a bucket of cold water, clearing his head. He called two trusted subordinates through the intercom and had them help carry Sazaki Gen out of the cabin.

"Hold on, I’ll take you to the hospital," Ishii Takamasa said.

"No, you go first!"

"Can you survive if I leave?" Ishii Takamasa said coldly, "I can’t just abandon my brothers and flee! If that Inakawa boy wants a fight, let him come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a storm of footsteps came from both ends of the corridor.

Once Inakawa Yuuhi came upstairs, he immediately called for reinforcements. He and Zhao Chunshu brought over fifty members, all combat professionals, storming into the nightclub. Meanwhile, under Ishii Takamasa’s leadership, aware something was wrong, they called in a dozen subordinates to support their boss.

Ishii Takamasa held Sazaki Gen with one hand, standing with over a dozen brothers—all bound by life or death ties. Left and right, two groups crowded the red-carpeted corridor, tension rising, but no one made a move. Upon meeting, realizing they seemed to be on the same side, no one was clear on the situation.

Inakawa Yuuhi pushed through the crowd, tidying his tie. While calling for help, he didn’t forget to change outfits; now, he was in a Marlon Brando style flannel pattern suit, flaunting his style.

In contrast, both Ishii Takamasa and Sazaki Gen looked disheveled, like a pair of busted lovers.

"Brothers! Ishii Takamasa poisoned my father, betraying us..."

Before Inakawa Yuuhi finished, someone shouted from the crowd, "Who the hell is your brother?"

At first, he thought it was Ishii Takamasa’s subordinate shouting, but he quickly realized the voice came from behind him.

Inakawa Yuuhi instantly realized it was unwise to rush into settling matters with Ishii Takamasa. Calming down, he continued without turning, "But I believe there might be misunderstandings, so I want to give you a chance to explain..."

Ishii Takamasa didn’t want to turn against him either, feeling grateful toward Inakawa Sejo. Without Inakawa Sejo, he might still be just a struggling thug... Even if Inakawa Sejo wanted to kill him, in the end, it was Sazaki Gen who struck first.

The dead are to be respected, the past wiped clean; Inakawa Yuuhi was his sole heir, and Ishii Takamasa didn’t want to escalate things.

But his subordinates didn’t think so.

Before Inakawa Yuuhi could finish, a subordinate by Ishii Takamasa’s side angrily yelled, raising a machete to attack. A dozen of his followers swarmed. At first, the other side resisted, but when a subordinate pointed and shouted, "How has President Ishii treated you" and another cheered, "Long live President Ishii," the bizarrely fervent atmosphere escalated. Baseball bats and steel knives rained down like a bloody coronation. Even when Ishii Takamasa shouted for them to stop, it was in vain; he could only watch as Inakawa Yuuhi was turned into a pulp.

At that moment, Ishii Takamasa finally understood why Inakawa Sejo deemed it necessary to kill him.
