Chapter 2000: Mikazuki Munechika
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yoshitomo Kyomoto’s words attracted the attention of the others. Their gazes landed on him.
“Baka!”
Yoshitomo Kyomoto could not control his anger and cursed loudly.
“What happened?”
After hanging up, Lin Yi asked.
“While I was away, our headquarters was ambushed by Sato.”
“Our two sides are allies now. How could Sato do such a thing?” Iwasaki Masataka said.
“We might have been used. The other party never planned on cooperating fully. They just wanted to use us.” Yoshitomo Kyomoto’s expression was gloomy. “His true goal was to attack my subordinate’s territory.”
“F*ck, I won’t let that old man Sato off!”
“The Yamaguchi-gumi is now divided into three groups. How are the forces of these three groups?” Lin Yi asked slowly.
“The largest and strongest is Sato. He has inherited half of Yamaguchi-gumi’s resources.” Mina Ito said.
“Taro Karasawa and Yoshitomo Kyomoto, who have submitted to the president, are in similar situations. There’s not much difference between them.”
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully. He had a rough idea of the situation.
No wonder they both needed to rely on the Mitsui and Mitsubishi forces, or they would be swallowed up sooner or later.
But the problem lay here.
With Iwasaki Masataka’s support, Yoshitomo Kyomoto had enough power to rival Sato Yuu. Why did Sato Yuu dare to attack Yoshitomo Kyomoto?
Who gave him the courage?
Suddenly, Lin Yi’s eyes widened, feeling this situation was very familiar.
Sato Yuu’s approach today was identical to what the Hongmen did back then!
Actively breaking the tripartite balance to achieve unification!
But!
To ensure his plan’s success, there had to be a key factor—support from behind the scenes!
Just then, Lin Yi noticed a terrifying detail!
Sato Yuu chose this moment to attack Yoshitomo Kyomoto’s territory, which might not be a coincidence!
He might have already known that Yoshitomo Kyomoto was brought here, so he used this quick and decisive method to solve the problem!
In other words, there might be Sato Yuu’s spies outside Mitsui Manor.
“It’s indeed a good sword. I’ll give it a try today.”
“I wish Mr. Lin a smooth journey. I’ll wait for your triumphant return.”
“Alright!”
Lin Yi took the long sword and left, escorted by Mina Ito.
About twenty minutes later, Mina Ito brought Lin Yi to meet with Taro Karasawa.
In terms of appearance and build, Taro Karasawa wasn’t particularly striking, but his serious demeanor left a strong impression.
Lin Yi glanced around and estimated that he had brought over 200 men.
This lineup seemed sufficient.
“Mr. Lin!”
Seeing Lin Yi, Taro Karasawa and his men bowed in unison.
They knew the man before them held a high status and dared not show any neglect.
“Yoshitomo Kyomoto is in trouble. Let’s strike while the iron is hot and catch them off guard.”
“We follow Mr. Lin’s orders.”
“Let’s go.”
After a brief exchange, the group got into their vehicles and headed towards the Grand Hotel in Shinjayka.
Originally, this hotel was Yamaguchi-gumi property.
After Yushi Mitsui’s death, Sato Yuu took it over as his headquarters.
About a hundred meters from the hotel, Lin Yi had the car stop and spoke to Taro Karasawa.
“Are you sure Sato Yuu is here?”
“Yes!” Taro Karasawa affirmed.
“The three factions know each other’s movements well, but due to mutual constraints, we couldn’t act. But we always keep basic information on hand.”
“Good to hear.” Lin Yi said calmly.
“Tell everyone to prepare here and wait for my command.”
“Does Mr. Lin plan to act alone?” Mina Ito asked nervously.
“Miss Mitsui instructed us to ensure your safety. Let me accompany you.”
“No need. You’d only be a burden. I can handle it alone.”
With that, Lin Yi took the Mitsui family’s treasured sword and got out of the car.
