When Mitsui Yoshitaka remained silent on the other end of the phone, Nishida Hirohiro added, “Mr. Mitsui, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”


    Without waiting for a response, he ended the call.


    Mitsui Yoshitaka, still holding the phone, felt incredibly frustrated. Usually, he was seen as high and mighty, with gangsters groveling to get a moment of his attention. Yet now, when it truly mattered, they showed him no respect at all.


    Even so, the idea of using money to settle the matter didn’t sit well with him. How much money would it take to solve this? If he appeased the Yamaguchi-gumi, what about the Inagawa-kai? Would he have to pay them as well?


    Helplessly, he handed the phone to his brother with a tinge of embarrassment, then turned to charlie Wade and said seriously, “I’ve thought it over carefully, and I believe Mr. Wade’s approach is better. These gangsters can’t be trusted. Even if they agree to stay out of it on the surface, they might still act behind the scenes. After all, this is a billion-dor deal. People’s intentions are hidden, and no one can predict them.”


    charlie Wade, impatient with his rambling, urged, “Mobilize all the manpower immediately. Let’s focus on getting through this situation first!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Understood,” Mitsui Yoshitaka nodded grimly. He quickly turned to his brother and said, “Hurry and follow Mr. Wade’s instructions. Have our people block all the backstage entrances and exits. At the same time, summon everyone avable to reinforce the outer defenses.”<fnb4b3> This content belongs to Find[?]ovel</fnb4b3>


    “Right away, big brother!” his brother replied, issuing orders to the bodyguards. “You, follow me!”


    The bodyguards quickly turned and left to begin setting up the defenses.


    Mitsui Yoshitaka then looked at charlie Wade and, in a deliberately casual tone, said, “Mr. Wade, the bounty was only posted a few minutes ago. It’s not toote for us to act now. If we block suspicious individuals from entering, the danger will be significantly reduced.”


    He sighed and added, “Mr. Wade, honestly, you shouldn’t have rejected my earlier suggestion. If I had called a helicopter right away, it could have reached the Dome within fifteen minutes. That way, not only Miss Sweet but all of us could have evacuated safely.”


    “Whether it’s the Yamaguchi-gumi or the Inagawa-kai, how could they mobilize troops so quickly?”


    charlie Wade responded coldly, “You can arrange for the helicopter to pick you up. As for Tawana, she can decide for herself whether to take your helicopter.”


    Tawana quickly replied, “I’ll follow Mr. Wade’s instructions!”


    Mitsui Yoshitaka was irritated. He wanted to exchange a few sharp words with charlie Wade to save face, but Tawana’s loyalty to charlie Wade left him frustrated.


    Trying to regain control, he asked charlie Wade again, “Mr. Wade, you mentioned your people are in charge of the second line of defense. Where are they, and when will they arrive?”


    charlie Wade replied, “You don’t need to concern yourself with when my people will get here. For now, we have twoyers of defense. You handle the outeryer, and I’ll manage this one. Just ensure the outer defense is tight and leave the rest to me.”


    Mitsui Yoshitaka cursed internally: “What nonsense! Even if I make the outer defense wless, what good are your supposedyers inside? You can say whatever you like.”


    Still, with Fei Kexin present, he held back from openly challenging charlie Wade. Instead, he forced augh and said, “Mr. Wade, don’t worry. My men are the best bodyguards in Japan. As long as it’s not a massive army, they’ll handle it without fail.”


    Fei Kexin, observing Mitsui Yoshitaka’s posturing in silence until now, spoke coldly, “Mr. Mitsui, I don’t know you well, but from what I’ve seen, everything you say seems to turn out the opposite. I suggest you focus on steady execution and avoid making bold ims.”


    Mitsui Xinmei, standing nearby, whispered cautiously, “Father, maybe it’s better to say less about certain things…”


    Feeling humiliated, Mitsui Yoshitaka stubbornly retorted, “Miss Fei, Mr. Wade, rest assured. Tokyo is the Mitsui family’s stronghold. No one can act recklessly here!”


    As his words faded, a chilling shout erupted from the backstage entrance: “Kill everyone you see! Leave no one alive!”


    Mitsui Yoshitaka spun around in shock to see over a dozen men in uniforms wearing terrifying demon masks storming in with raised samurai swords.


    The masks were horrifying—each depicting a demonic face with bulging eyes and blood-stained fangs, the designs exuding sheer menace.


    Horrified, Mitsui Yoshitaka stammered, “How… how did you get in?!”


    Tawana was terrified by the group and screamed, blurting out, “Mr. Wade… are they here to kill me?!”


    Mitsui Yoshitaka, standing nearby, turned pale. Seeing the blood-stained samurai swords, he stammered in panic, “How could this happen? Where are my bodyguards?! Were they all taken out so quickly?”


    Mitsui Xinmei snapped out of her shock and eximed, “Father, Mr. Wade, we need to escape through the back!”


    As she spoke, more than ten simrly dressed warriors charged in from the rear passage. The leader bellowed, “Kill them all!”


    All the warriors shouted in unison, “Hi!”


    In an instant, over thirty warriors from both directions, swords raised high, surged toward them with murderous intent.
