Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 82

Upon hearing this, Saeko Busujima's hand holding the knife trembled and she lowered her head, seemingly stunned by what Kenichi Uesugi had said.

“My son, this operation will be very dangerous, and it will be difficult to bear such a heavy burden of so many lives and sins. I don’t want you to carry this weight.”

Kenichi Uesugi gently touched Saeko Busujima's face, his eyes filled with tenderness.

In his opinion, although Saeko Busujima appears to be a mature and sophisticated woman, she is actually a very gentle girl at heart. In his view, among all the girls, only Megumi Kato has the strongest heart.

Saeko Busujima suddenly opened her arms and hugged Kenichi Uesugi.

"Whatever you want to do, I will support you. Even if it means slaughtering everyone in this world, I am willing to be the sharpest knife in your hand!"

She looked at Uesugi Kenichi with a sickly blush on her face, her eyes revealing an uncontrollable excitement and bloodlust.

She didn't want to know why Uesugi Kenichi had such thoughts; as long as it was something Uesugi Kenichi wanted to do, then her support was enough, regardless of whether these people deserved to die.

It has nothing to do with me.

Even the most hard-hearted man would be melted by Saeko Busujima's unreserved and selfless love.

Kenichi Uesugi cupped Saeko Busujima's face in his hands, gazed deeply at the girl whose eyes reflected his image, and gently kissed her lips.

"Then let's show them what hell looks like."

……

"Hello, Mr. Hirakawa."

"You've worked hard." Hirakawa nodded to his two neatly standing underlings and walked into the main room.

"sit."

He knelt down first and addressed the crowd.

"Hey!" The group of underlings sat down upon hearing this.

Soon, a girl dressed in a kimono and stockings came in, poured tea for everyone, and then slowly withdrew.

"Xigang, tell us about what happened this time."

"Yes." Kensuke Nishioka, who was originally arrogant and exuded madness, raised his eyes and glanced at the expressionless Hirakawa, and then told the whole story without holding back.

After listening, Hirakawa took a sip of tea. It was unclear whether he had actually listened or not. His fingertips kept tapping on the coffee table in front of him, each tap seemingly striking into Kensuke Nishioka's heart.

"It seems like someone from (BBBI) wants to make things difficult for us. I just don't know which group is behind it. The Kouchi-gumi? No, they wouldn't dare. The Yamaguchi-gumi? No, the higher-ups there have already been taken care of. They shouldn't bother with us for now."

He was also somewhat confused about who the enemy was, since there were quite a few traditional gangs in the underworld who disliked them and believed that they had broken the rules.

However, these things were not his concern. He only cared about whether he could make money and whether there were any young and beautiful girls.

"Tiger, what do you think of this matter?" Hirakawa turned to look at a strong man on his right who exuded a cold and stern aura.

This is his most capable assistant. If Kensuke Nishioka mainly helps him handle some miscellaneous tasks, then Tiger is his general who charges into battle. Even 10 ordinary people would not be a match for Tiger.

He had deep trust in the tiger.

“The opponent is a master. I examined Yamamoto and Takeda’s wounds. It appears that the one who attacked them was the same person. There were no unnecessary movements, and Yamamoto and Takeda were subdued without any resistance. The wounds on their wrists and ankles were just up to the arteries, ensuring that they would not die too quickly but also guaranteeing their death.”

The man known as the Tiger pondered for a moment before answering, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he spoke of the wounds, seemingly in admiration.

Hiranokawa paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "Are you confident you can handle this person?"

"To be honest, I can't guarantee it. Even if I did it myself, I couldn't do it perfectly. Of course, it's also possible that the other party just happens to be good at these things," Tiger said.

"Xigang, do you really think these people's goal is for the sake of these children?"

From the very beginning, he was certain that the enemy was an organization that was hostile to their Pine Leaf Society, and only they would dare to oppose their Pine Leaf Society.

"I'm sure that's what they were saying, judging from their tone. And I don't think they have any reason to lie to me. If it were about that shipment, they wouldn't have needed to contact me again."

"Yes, that's something I can't understand either."

Hirakawa was indeed puzzled. In terms of value, this batch of goods was no less valuable than these children. He couldn't understand why the other party didn't immediately hide such a valuable batch of goods.

"Although we don't know the reason, since their target is these children, we should just wait and see. Whether it's negotiation or violence, we should talk things out first."

"If it comes to a last resort, we can use these children to exchange for that shipment, understand?"

"Yes!"

"Don't disappoint me this time, Nishioka." Hirakawa looked at Nishioka Kensuke with a half-smile.

"Hey, I promise there won't be any accidents!"

"That's good. I'll go and rest now." Hirano Kawa finished his tea in one gulp and got up to leave.

Kensuke Nishioka bowed deeply as he watched Hirakawa leave. At that moment, he only hoped that the person he had spoken to on the phone hadn't lied to him, otherwise, death would truly be waiting for him.

Chapter 159 Horrifying Scene

"This is it." Uesugi Kenichi said to Busujima Saeko, who was standing next to him, as he looked at the courtyard in front of him.

Both of them were dressed in black, completely blending into the darkness of the night.

Upon hearing this, Saeko Busujima tightened her grip on her sword and looked over. This courtyard was typical of a large Japanese household, with artificial hills, a dojo, and a yard. It was no smaller than her own house, but it looked somewhat dilapidated and not particularly eye-catching.

"There seem to be more people inside than this morning. Be careful when you go in, don't get caught."

"Understood." Saeko Busujima nodded and followed behind Kenichi Uesugi.

The two sneaked in through a section of the wall behind the courtyard.

Although there are quite a few people here, there aren't many patrols at this spot. After all, it's just a yakuza organization, and it's nothing compared to the military.

The infiltration went very smoothly. Using his super intuition, Kenichi Uesugi led Saeko Busujima to successfully search the entire courtyard.

Kenichi Uesugi stopped after passing a house.

"What's wrong?" Saeko Busujima asked softly.

"This should be it." Uesugi Kenichi replied, then, after sensing the atmosphere in the room, he pushed open the door and silently walked in.

Saeko Busujima followed Kenichi Uesugi's gaze to a figure lying asleep in the room. Judging from the back, it was a woman. She looked at her eyes and asked what to do.

Uesugi Kenichi walked over and gently pressed on the man's neck. Instantly, the man's head lolled to the side and he fainted.

"She probably won't wake up anytime soon."

Saeko Busujima nodded upon hearing this, glanced around, and her gaze fell on a door leaning against the wall.

Is it there?

Uesugi Kenji nodded slightly; in his perception, there were quite a few people behind that room.

"Walk."

He walked over and gently opened the door, squinting as he looked inside. The door revealed a hidden secret; it wasn't as small as it appeared from the outside, and seemed to have been modified.

There is one house on the left and two houses on the right.

"Be careful." Uesugi Kenichi squeezed Busujima Saeko's hand.

He had no doubt about Tokushima Saeko's fighting ability, but he was afraid that these people might have guns.

He himself wouldn't believe that such a large yakuza gang wouldn't have a few guns.

He walked along the corner of the wall, looked into the first room on the right, and his eyes lit up immediately.

There were quite a few children in the room, about twenty or so, aged between six and ten, all of them lying asleep on the bed in the corner, their hair disheveled.

He kept searching with his eyes, trying to find Keiko Kagura among these people, but after checking twice, he still couldn't find her.

He took a deep breath, somewhat disappointed, and took a few steps forward toward the room on the left.

The room was brightly lit by white light. Several men were sitting in different spots playing games on their phones, while a long table in the center of the room was covered with various bottles and jars.

A dozen or so children stood pale-faced beside a long table, each carrying a transparent plastic bag filled with white flour. They coughed occasionally, eliciting shouts and curses from the people monitoring them.

Kenichi Uesugi felt his arm being gripped tightly by a hand. He gently held Saeko Busujima's hand and comforted her with his eyes.

If it weren't for Uesugi Kenichi stopping her, Saeko Busujima would have loved to draw her sword and go in to kill them all here, one by one.

His eyes shone brightly; Keiko Kagura was among these children at that moment.

Uesugi Kenichi felt a huge sense of relief; it was so good to be alive...

As if sensing something, Kagura Keiko raised her pale face and glanced at the door, her eyes meeting Uesugi Ken's.

Her eyes instantly lit up with a dreamlike light. She rubbed her eyes, thinking she might be hallucinating, otherwise how could she see her brother here?

But when she saw Uesugi Kenichi make a shushing gesture at her, she finally believed that what she was seeing was not an illusion.

A smile was about to appear on her face, her eyes shining with excitement, but when she saw the people monitoring them, her smile froze.

Keiko Kagura shook her head at Kenichi Uesugi, tears welling up in her eyes.

Although she didn't know how her beloved brother got here, having witnessed the ruthlessness of these people, she didn't want anything to happen to him.

· ·Requesting flowers· ········

She would rather she had never seen him.

Even though she had dreamt of Uesugi Kenichi countless times in her sleep these past few days, she didn't know how much she wanted to see her old man again.

But she didn't want anything to happen to her brother even more, especially not because of her, a jinx!

Now she was starting to believe what those people were saying; she might really be a jinx. If even Uesugi Kenichi died, she would truly despair of the world.

She kept gesturing with her eyes for Uesugi Kenichi to leave, to get away from here quickly before these people noticed.

Being able to see her old man one more time was all she could ask for. She felt incredibly happy and would be willing to die even now.

...... .. 0

After making a gesture to Keiko Kagura, Kenichi Uesugi slowly retreated with Saeko Busujima.

Although he was eager to rush in, now that he had confirmed Keiko Kagura's safety, there was no need to rush for another minute or two.

He then went to the last room on the right.

He stood at the doorway and looked over, his expression suddenly freezing, and he became completely stunned, like a wooden statue...

Inside the room, a little boy sat listlessly in a chair in the corner. When he saw Uesugi Kenichi appear at the door, he stood up, but did not call out. He just watched quietly.

Kenichi Uesugi was completely unable to describe the emotion revealed in the child's eyes—empty, numb, as if they were the eyes of a dead person.

And such a look appeared on a small child.

He turned his head.
