For Hirohiro Nishida, even slightly offending Mitsui Yoshitaka would be a nightmare. If that happened, Mitsui Yoshitaka would undoubtedly leverage the Mitsui family’s influence to target the Yamaguchi-gumi on every front—cracking down on prostitution and gambling,unching campaigns against violent crimes, and reopening old cases. These efforts would inflict significant losses on the Yamaguchi-gumi, potentially rendering an entire industry unprofitable for a year.
Though the Yamaguchi-gumi despise him, they endure the humiliation without risking an all-out conflict, choosing instead to silently bear the grievances.
However, if it came topletely severing ties with Mitsui Yoshitaka, Hirohiro Nishida wouldn’t hesitate to fight, regardless of the consequences.
The Mitsui family might be powerful, but Japan doesn’t belong to them. They may have more wealth and influence, but theyck the courage to engage in a life-or-death struggle. If the situation escted into outright violence, the Mitsui family would never know peace.
If the resolution boiled down to force, it would undoubtedly leave Mitsui Yoshitaka in a bind.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
At the moment, Nishida Hirohiro is unwilling to relinquish the $1 billion at stake. Even if he had to give it up, he would ensure hispetitors couldn’t im it either. As long as his rivals hold the slightest hope, Nishida will stop at nothing topete.
Mitsui Yoshitaka had boasted that it would only take a few words to intimidate Nishida Hirohiro. Yet, his confidence quickly backfired. Normally, being addressed as “grandfather” was a sign of deference, but pushing people too far—demanding they treat you as their superior—only ensures they’ll rebel.
Now, Mitsui Yoshitaka was both furious and at a loss. If he couldn’t suppress Nishida Hirohiro, how could he expect to control other gang leaders?
As Mitsui Yoshitaka struggled to respond, Nishida Hirohiro’s voice came through the phone. “Mr. Mitsui, persuading the Yamaguchi-gumi to withdraw from thispetition isn’t impossible. The other side has offered a hidden fee of $1 billion. I’m not a greedy man. If you offer me $500 million, I’ll ensure the Yamaguchi-gumi stays out of it. What do you say?”
Mitsui Yoshitaka snapped angrily, “Are you treating me like a fool? You demand $500 million, others demand $500 million—why the hell should I pay you anything?”
Nishida Hirohiro chuckled. “If you’re willing to offer $10 billion, I’ll make every member of the Yamaguchi-gumi follow your orders and even protect that American singer. Whoever dares to target her will face my men to the death!”<fndc25> This content belongs to ?ovelFind</fndc25>
Mitsui Yoshitaka shouted back, “Don’t kid yourself, Nishida! There’s no way such a deal exists in this world!”
Nishida Hirohiro wasn’t angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “You see, you won’t let me earn that money, and you’re unwilling topensate me either. Your Mitsui family can’t monopolize all the good things in the world. The tens of thousands of people under my Yamaguchi-gumi need to eat every day to survive. Cutting off their financial resources is as good as killing their parents.”
