Chapter 69 69 Akita Kazuo's Ambition
Regarding Hakuto's orders, Torikaze naturally dared not delay in any way. Not to mention that if he handled this matter well, Hakuto would grant him the opportunity to gain supernatural power.
So, after Hakuto left, Torikaze immediately called for Akita Kazuo. Yes, that's right, the very Akita Kazuo who had sent the thugs to find Hakuto.
"Boss!"
Kazuo looked at Torikaze.
"Akita, I have a task for you. Handle it well, and your previous mistakes will be forgiven. Handle it poorly, and Tokyo Bay will have one more cement pillar."
Kazuo's pupils contracted.
"Yes, Boss. Please give your orders."
Torikaze handed a photo of Tomoya to Kazuo, then gave him a document folder.
"This is the information on the person in the photo. I need you to sell this proposal to this person within three days. This person has offended a certain big shot, understand? Although that big shot didn't pursue your matter, it's hard to guarantee they won't settle accounts later. If you handle this matter well, then I'll have a reason to protect you in the future!"
Kazuo was instantly excited. Originally, after learning that Hakuto was backed by wealthy families like the Shinomiya, Nakiri, Yukinoshita, Sakayanagi, and Sawamura Families, Kazuo had been desperate.
In Japan, these families could make a small fry like him disappear with extreme ease.
It might not even stop with his own death; his whole family might be implicated. But he hadn't expected a sudden turn of fortune.
If he handled this matter well, then that big shot might even remember him. In the future, he might even rise to prominence.
Thinking of this, Kazuo's heart immediately burned with passion. He looked at Torikaze with fervor and said, "Boss, please leave this matter to me. If I disappoint you and that big shot, I am willing to commit seppuku to apologize!"
"Very good. Then go do it. If you fail this time, it won't just be your problem anymore!"
"Yes, sir!"
Kazuo walked out with a heart full of fighting spirit.
After leaving, Kazuo immediately used the Yamaguchi-gumi's influence to locate Tomoya. At the same time, he had already devised a plan to deal with him.
For a bottom-tier socialite like Kazuo, perhaps he couldn't accomplish anything major. But dragging someone to hell was incredibly easy.
After Utaha and the others left, Tomoya started writing the proposal. But as for the result, looking at the three lines on the blank document.
Male protagonist,
Four female protagonists,
The four heroines like the male lead and compete for him.
Three lines. That was the proposal Tomoya had written after a full two hours of effort.
Looking at this proposal, even Tomoya himself thought it was a pile of dog shit.
He scratched his head in frustration. He really couldn't figure out how to write it.
'Forget it. I'll just go out and buy a weekly magazine. Maybe I could get some inspiration for the proposal.'
Tomoya then went out. The moment he stepped out, Kazuo had him in his sights.
Seeing Tomoya leave, a smile appeared on Kazuo's face.
Coming out of the bookstore, the expression on Tomoya's face was unpleasant. Tomoya wasn't holding any books either.
At the checkout, Tomoya realized that he had no money on him.
Utaha had taken all his credit cards.
With his head down, Tomoya didn't notice a person walking towards him. He walked directly into the other person.
"Bastard!"
With an angry shout and a slap to the face, Tomoya finally reacted. Looking at the man in front of him — a flowered shirt, a gold chain, sunglasses, and a tattooed arm —Tomoya immediately cowered.
'Yakuza!'
Tomoya was only tough on the weak and afraid of the strong. How could he dare face a real yakuza? So Tomoya quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!"
But Tomoya's apology was useless. Because this yakuza was none other than Kazuo!
Another slap directly landed on Tomoya's face.
"If apologies were useful, what would be the point of the police? You bumped into me, causing my coffee to spill on my clothes. Do you know how much this outfit costs? Pay up. One hundred thousand yen!"
Tomoya's eyes widened instantly. He looked at Kazuo in front of him in disbelief.
"This is robbery! How could that outfit of yours be worth one hundred thousand yen!"
Tomoya's shouts attracted the attention of some passersby. But upon seeing the tattoo on Kazuo's arm, they immediately looked away.
After all, the trait of avoiding danger was deeply etched in people's DNA.
So even seeing this situation, no one came forward to help.
Kazuo delivered another heavy slap to Tomoya's face.
"Bastard. The clothes I'm wearing are a collaboration launched by the Ming Dynasty's royal family, you know? It's worth one hundred thousand Yuan!"
Kazuo's words made Tomoya incredulous.
"Either pay up, or I'll call some people over. Your choice."
Tomoya immediately looked at Kazuo in terror. "I, I have no money."
Kazuo kicked Tomoya in the stomach. The kick almost made Tomoya throw up yesterday's dinner.
"No money? No money, I'll give you a chance. Get up and come with me. Don't think about running. I'm Kazuo, the Wakagashira of the Yamaguchi-gumi. If you try to run, hmph!" (T/N: Wakagashira means young boss, usually second in command of a Yakuza Family.)
Tomoya's face turned pale with fright. He had heard of the Yamaguchi-gumi, that yakuza organization.
He stood up and obediently followed Kazuo to an underground casino owned by the Yamaguchi-gumi.
"Here, if you're lucky, you can win a lot of money."
Tomoya's face turned pale with fright.
"Now, I give you only two choices. First, go in and gamble. If you win, you don't have to pay me back and you can even win a lot of money. If you lose, then you'd better think about how you're going to pay me back."
