When the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department learned from Mitsui Yoshitaka that hundreds of assassins were killing people inside the Tokyo Dome and were plotting to assassinate the world’s top singer, Tawanna Sweet, his face went pale. He immediately asked, “Mr. Mitsui, can you give us a detailed ount of the situation at the scene? Are there any casualties?”


    Mitsui Yoshitaka, who had endured insults from charlie Wade all night, finally found an opportunity to vent his frustration. He shouted into the phone, “Baka! Hundreds of people are dead, and you’re still asking if there are any casualties? I’m telling you, if you don’t get here immediately, you’ll be collecting bodies—mine and Miss Sweet’s!”


    The police chief shuddered. Hundreds of casualties? That would be ssified as a terrorist attack in any country.


    This situation was far worse than the previous Tokyo brawl that had left many dead.<fn2bd1> Newest update provided by find{n}ovel</fn2bd1>


    In the previous incident, the casualties were more dispersed, and the perpetrators varied. The Matsumoto family had killed the banks family’s bodyguards and members of the Takahashi family. The Takahashi family, in turn, killed many of Ito Takehiko’s men and nearly assassinated Ito himself.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Ito Takehiko survived and retaliated by wiping out the Takahashi family.


    The Matsumoto family was also destroyed, with the culprits being assassins hired by the banks family from China. The police apprehended these killers while they were attempting to flee at the airport, though Xion managed to escape.


    The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department treated these events as isted cases, which prevented widespread public rm.


    However, based on Mitsui Yoshitaka’s report, this time there were already hundreds of casualties, and the chief feared his career was in jeopardy.


    If Tawanna Sweet were to die in Tokyo, he might be forced tomit seppuku or hang himself.


    Desperate, he said, “Mr. Mitsui, please hold on! We’re deploying all avable police forces to the Dome immediately!”


    Within moments, dozens of police helicopters across Tokyo took off, racing toward the Dome.


    By then, the Dome had descended into utter chaos.


    Both the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Inagawa-kai had sustained heavy losses during the gunfight. Using their fallenrades’ bodies, each side hastily constructed makeshift fortifications. A stalemate ensued, with both groups resorting to sporadic gunfire.


    Realizing they were at a disadvantage due to the lighting, several Inagawa-kai gunmen decided to destroy the lights, plunging the Dome into darkness.


    As a result, both sides were plunged into darkness simultaneously. The Yamaguchi-gumi lost their advantage of sniping from the shadows and saw no immediate chance to break through. They could only hide behind the corpses, cursing the Inagawa-kai for their dishonorable tactics. Despite wanting to retreat, they refused to believe that the hidden bounty had already been taken—no matter how much they argued.


    While the stalemate continued, Japan’s most mysterious assassin organization, the Bluestone Alliance,prised of elite mercenaries, had dispatched operatives to the Dome.


    This group had been executing assassination contracts on the dark web for years. As long as the price was right, no target was off-limits.


    When they learned about the $1 billion hidden bounty, they immediately mobilized all their operatives stationed in Tokyo.


    The first 12 fully armed members arrived at the Dome and quickly sensed that something unusual was happening.


    Peering through the entrance, they saw only darkness, but the continuous sounds of gunfire and shouting made it clear that the two factions were locked in a stalemate.


    The team leader instructed the others, “Wait here at the entrance. I’ll sneak inside to assess the situation.”


    One member protested, “Captain, it’s dangerous to go in alone with all that gunfire. Why don’t we go in together?”


    “No need,” the captain replied calmly. “Since there’s a stalemate, those inside are focused on each other. In the darkness, I can slip in unnoticed. Plus, I have night vision goggles to help me scout the situation.”


    He added, “We have strength in numbers, so we need to be cautious. Once I understand what’s going on, we’ll move in together.”


    The team agreed with his logic and stopped objecting.


    The captain then instructed, “Stay alert. If anyone approaches, don’t expose yourselves. Report to me immediately. No one takes action without my approval. Understood?”
