The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

After sulking for a while, Yamaguchi Dai finally turned his attention to Sato Keiko after she changed the medicine.

"Keiko, I'm puzzled. Why didn't you take this opportunity to run away? Why did you come with me instead?"

Before Sato Keiko could explain, Yamaguchi Dai began to speak on his own.

"I, Yamaguchi, believe I have treated you poorly; in fact, I could say I have completely trampled your dignity into the ground. Anyone else would have chosen to take this opportunity to run away, but why did you not only not run away, but instead choose to live and die with me?"

Upon hearing Yamaguchi Dai's words, Sato Keiko froze, then she laughed, a laugh like a venomous snake.

"Master, do you know what my father said in his last phone call to me before he died?"

"What did Ryuichi Sato say?"

He said...

Thinking of her father's last words, Keiko Sato murmured, her eyes vacant.

"Father said, 'Huizi, I was wrong. I messed with someone I shouldn't have. Ye Linyuan's background is more powerful than I can imagine. Run, run as far away as possible, and never think about avenging me.'"

She looked up, tears streaming down her face, but her voice was icy cold.

"My father, Sato Ryuichi, the chairman of the Sumiyoshi-kai, a powerful figure in the Japanese underworld, actually let me escape before he died? Why? Just because Ye Linyuan is from China? Just because he has connections? I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this! I will take revenge! I must take revenge! Not just for my father, but for myself!"

Yamaguchi Dai fell silent.

"So you want revenge, not just for Sato Ryuichi, but also to prove that even if Ye Linyuan has connections, he's no match for you?"

"Yes, Master, you're right, that's exactly it."

Keiko Sato wiped away her tears, her tone chilling.

"I want to prove that I am stronger than my father. He destroyed the Sumiyoshi-kai and my family, so I will destroy him and the entire Ye family!"

Yamaguchi stared at her for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Good! Good! Huizi, I wasn't wrong about you! You're more ruthless than your father, and you have more guts than him!"

He patted Keiko Sato's face.

"Keiko, I hereby appoint you as the vice-leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi. After this turmoil subsides, you will lead your men to China to carry out the revenge you desire."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Keiko Sato lowered her head, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

After enduring humiliation and hardship for so long, I'm finally starting to get what I want!

revenge?

At first, he did want revenge, but after his dignity and personality were trampled on, he realized that hatred was not worth mentioning at all, and only power and strength were invincible!

As long as I can gain control of the Yamaguchi-gumi and become its leader, all the humiliations I have suffered will vanish. If I want revenge, I only need to send Yamaguchi-gumi assassins to China!

Despite the fact that almost all of the 300-plus elite members of the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters died last night, and even that many members chose to leave the Yamaguchi-gumi today, the foundation of the Yamaguchi-gumi is still intact. As far as he knows, the Yamaguchi-gumi still has a secret assassin unit that only obeys the Yamaguchi-gumi leader. It is because of the existence of this elite assassin unit that the middle and upper management of the Yamaguchi-gumi always obey the Yamaguchi-gumi leader.

You can't disobey orders, or you'll die a mysterious death!

Even many members of parliament and high-ranking officials in the country of Chiri chose to cooperate with the Yamaguchi-gumi. In addition to the exchange of interests between the two parties, it was also because the Yamaguchi-gumi's elite assassin unit would help them eliminate their political enemies!

This was something his father, Ryuichi Sato, had accidentally discovered, and no one else in the Sumiyoshi-kai knew about it except for him.

Moreover, if she could use the Yamaguchi-gumi as a springboard to cooperate with Prime Minister Aiichi Banae, the most powerful woman in the country, she might be able to become the woman at the top of the power pyramid in the country!

How wonderful it is to be called Prime Minister Sato!

Even, if given the chance, she could follow in the footsteps of the only female emperor in the neighboring Dragon Kingdom, end the current Dog Emperor lineage in the Thousand Sun Kingdom, establish a new Dog Emperor lineage, and become the first female Dog Emperor in history!

Meanwhile, just as Sato Keiko thought, Yamaguchi Dai wasn't worried about the other members of the Yamaguchi-gumi betraying him; he was now thinking about how to get revenge.

Although he didn't know which terrorist organization attacked him last night, he was at least certain of one thing: the Metropolitan Police Department and the Self-Defense Forces had completely abandoned him!

In other words, he had been abandoned by the government of the Thousand Sun Kingdom!

In that case, it's normal for me to do whatever I want next, right?

For example, acquiring enough weapons to arm oneself!

"By the way, Keiko, have you found out anything about the missiles the enemy used last night?"

Sato Keiko shook her head, and just as she was about to say that there was still no news, a Yamaguchi-gumi underling who had been dispatched rushed over and said to Yamaguchi Da with a grim expression.

"Boss, breaking news: the missiles that attacked our Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters last night were Type 12 anti-ship missiles, which appeared on the black market some time ago. According to sources, although we don't yet know who the buyer of these missiles is, we have confirmed that the seller is a high-ranking member of the Mitsubishi Group."

Upon hearing his younger brother's words, Yamaguchi almost choked.

Damn it, what kind of bastards are those at Mitsubishi? How could they sell such a deadly weapon as a missile on the black market?!

The most outrageous thing is that someone actually bought him to beat him up?!

What a bunch of beasts! If they wanted to sell, they could have just come to me. The Yamaguchi-gumi may not have as much money as the Mitsubishi Group, but they could still easily get a few hundred billion US dollars!

Taking a deep breath, Yamaguchi pressed on with the question.

"Can you find out which high-ranking member of the Mitsubishi Group was responsible for illegally reselling this batch of Type 12 anti-ship missiles?"

The younger brother shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless.

"Team leader, it's no use. The other side was prepared. Although we followed this lead, we found nothing. Right now, we can only confirm that it was a high-ranking member of the Mitsubishi Group who privately resold the missiles, but we can't determine which one it was."

Upon hearing this, Yamaguchi was furious, but he had no better solution.

The Mitsubishi Group is enormous, with many high-ranking executives. Even if I wanted to take revenge, I couldn't possibly take revenge on every single one of them. If I did, I'd have to start taking revenge on one person every week from today until this time next year!

"Never mind, you can go now. There's no need to investigate any further."

"Hi!"

After her younger brother left, Sato Keiko looked at Yamaguchi Dai with a puzzled expression.

Knowing Yamaguchi Dai as she did, she knew he was a vengeful old man who would never swallow this insult alone. So why was he acting this way now...?

"Are you wondering why I didn't continue the investigation?"

Sensing Keiko Sato's questioning gaze, Dai Yamaguchi said calmly.

"Yes, Master. Although the Mitsubishi Group has many high-ranking officials, and each of them is quite capable, as long as we are willing to investigate, we will eventually find out who is selling the Type 12 anti-ship missile."

"And then what? Even if we know who it is, so what?"
