Chapter 584: A Meeting

owtowing and said: "Fat Master, it was my fault for not having eyes. Please show mercy and spare me this time.""Oh, alright, alright." The fat man took a bite of the chicken leg, puffed on his cigar,...Just as Ye Fan returned to South Africa, a meeting was also underway on an island nation in the other half of the globe. As the capital of the island nation, Tokyo is the largest city in Asia and the second largest city in the world, one of the world's largest economic centers.

It is still the political center of the entire nation, with administrative, legislative, and judicial national institutions all concentrated here.

Like the national organs of island nations, the headquarters of Sangenkai, dubbed as Asia's biggest mafia, has also moved from Kobe City to Tokyo. However, it is not located in the so-called government district, but rather in Ginza, known as the "heart of Tokyo".

Ginza is a symbol of high-class, brand name, fashion, taste, trustworthiness, authenticity, aspiration, and trendiness. It rivals the Champs-lysées in Paris and Fifth Avenue in New York as one of the world's three most bustling commercial centers.

It is said that in Ginza, a plot of land with footprints is more expensive than a senior government official's monthly salary!

It's the most expensive place for real estate in an island nation!

In such a land of high property prices, the headquarters of the San-Kō Group occupies the very center of Ginza, a skyscraper that pierces the clouds.

This also, in a way, showcases the strength of the Sanka Group.

In fact, because of the island nation's legal system that allows for the existence of organized crime groups, the Sanqing Gang's influence within the island nation is unparalleled by any other criminal organization in the world!

It involves the three areas of politics, business, and commerce, and plays a very important role in them.

It is precisely because of this reason that the Sato family, who control the San-guchi group, is one of the largest and most terrifying families in the island nation.

When daylight fully broke over London, Tokyo, ten hours ahead in the time zone, was already nighttime. The moon hung in the west sky, bathing Ginza Avenue in its glow. From above, one could see that the entire Ginza Avenue was dotted with black specks—pedestrians filling every inch of the street.

Even though it was around 10 pm, there were still many people in Ginza. At this moment, in the top-floor meeting room of the skyscraper in the center of Ginza.

All the bosses of the Sangen-gumi, including the top boss, Sato Ichiro, gathered together.

Everyone was dressed in their most formal suits, with a badge pinned to their chests. The badges displayed the insignia of the Triad, about the size of a passport and looking much more stylish than the badges worn by British civil servants.

By this time, the meeting had been going on for over half an hour. After discussing some internal matters of the Sanko Group, Ichiro Sato looked around at the senior executives of the Sanko Group present.

Below, all were the regional heads of the Three Mouths Group. At this time, seeing Sato Ichirō stop, they one by one raised their heads, knowing that something important was about to be announced.

"Chairman, today the heads of all major companies came to Tokyo specifically to request this meeting from you. It's about that Chinese matter."

At that moment, a short, thin man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood up and addressed Satoichiro, who was seated at the front of the conference room, his expression complex.

As the head advisor for a three-person team, his status within the team was not low, but rather very high. Generally speaking, meetings of the highest level within the three-person team were organized by him. This person was none other than Fujiwara Kojiro's father, Fujiwara no Yoshikazu.

Within the San-Koku group, all members refer to Sato Ichiro as the president, which is also a sign of keeping up with the times.

“Fujiwara Iwa, please sit down.” In the same formal suit, Sato Ichiro extinguished the cigar in his hand, placed both hands on the conference table, and surveyed everyone with a slow, calm voice: “Everyone, perhaps you already know the purpose of calling you all here. Just recently, our chief advisor Fujiwara Iwa’s son, Fujiwara Kiro, was murdered in China.”

As he said this, a dark and intense murderous intent flashed across Sato Ichirō's face, while Fujiwara Iwa looked pained.

"Damn it..."

Hearing Sato Ichiro's words, the council members below began to discuss in an uproar. They had already learned about Fujinara Kozo being assassinated in China. Someone dared to touch the people of Sanku Group, which enraged them.

“We have investigated this young man's identity. He is the sworn brother of the head of the Sikong family of the Hua Xia Empire. Fujiwara Komatsu was involved in an incident, and Sikong Yanran was present at the time. It seems that this young man has a close relationship with the Ye family of the Hua Xia Empire.” Sato Ichiro continued, carefully observing everyone's reactions.

It was clear that when Sato Ichiro mentioned the Sango family, no one paid any attention and they all wore expressions of disdain. However, when he mentioned the Ye family, everyone in attendance changed their expressions except for Fujiwara Iwa.

It seems that the reputation of the Ye family, from the Celestial Empire, is quite significant even in this island nation. And it appears they are also aware of the power of this family that safeguards the Celestial Empire. Therefore, upon hearing that Ye Fan was highly likely to be from the Ye family, their previous arrogance and disdain vanished, replaced by a solemn air.

If they make enemies of the Ye family, they need to seriously consider the pros and cons. After all, this is a behemoth, its potential far surpassing that of the Triads.

However, they showed no fear.

"Now, that young man is in South Africa. After discussing with Fujiwara Iwa and the advisor, we have already sent people to get his head." Seeing that everyone had a solemn expression, Sato Ichiro continued.

When these words were uttered, the expressions on everyone's faces grew even more solemn, or perhaps burdened with worry. The three major factions’ leaders present at this moment remained silent, but it was clear that they were all brewing their words in their minds. Several bigwigs even huddled together, whispering amongst themselves about something.

"Mr. President, Fujiwara was killed. We have been bullied by the people of China to our heads. We all understand the grief of the Chief Advisor. You send someone to take the head of that Chinese man, we also highly approve." Afterwards, Kawadai Kousuke, the president of the Kawadai Association, who was sitting in the second row, stood up and said solemnly: "However, as you said before, this Chinese man might be from the Ye family. Their background is so powerful. If we kill him, the Ye family will definitely retaliate."

"Continue," said Sato Ichiro, nodding for him to go on.

The Ye family has guarded the Chinese Empire for decades, and their underhanded forces are too terrifying. These years we've tried to enter China, but every time we were blocked by the Ye family. And they have a batch of humanoid weapons, their private army, whose strength is no longer inferior to our ninjas. If we rashly kill the Ye family members, their revenge will probably come immediately. Are we ready

Are we ready
