Chapter 234
“You know quite a lot, don’t you?”
“It was a major incident, after all.”
The Blood Pool incident.
Originally, the Chairman of Sumiyoshi wasn’t Hiro.
The official Chairman had been Sumiyoshi Kenta.
But of course, even though he held the title, he wasn’t a real chairman like Hiro is now.
He was just a figurehead.
That’s because, unlike Yamaguchi or Inagawa, where the influence of the chairman or representative was absolute, Sumiyoshi’s real power lay in the hands of the coalition of top-ranking bosses.
‘They propped up a puppet chairman while the other bosses took turns pulling the strings.’
But at the time, Hiro wasn’t one of those powerful bosses.
Back then, he was just a latecomer who had joined the Sumiyoshi coalition much later in the game.
And so, he refused to be involved in drugs, clubs, or any of that business.
