CHAPTER 777: CHAPTER 636: STORMING IN TO ARREST, AVENGERS ALLIANCE

"The damned arrogance of the ruling class!"

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Xiu Xin shook his head and called Eguchi Shinji.

"Don’t wait any longer, go in and arrest him."

He didn’t care about the consequences of being too ruthless and extreme, cutting himself off from the Parliamentarians. Similarly, the more he acted this way, the more Yanchuan Shilang would trust him, because someone like him, destined to be unaccepted by the higher-ups, could only cling to the Yanchuan family’s wings, posing no threat to them.

For someone as capable as him, who could only depend on his family and could never threaten them, Yanchuan Shilang would surely trust him unconditionally and support him greatly, which was exactly what he wanted.

Hatanaka Zizi returned to the tatami room and said to the anxious Kiyohiro Tobita, "Mr. Tobita, you’ll stay here tonight; no one can touch you! I’ll discuss your matter with Mr. Ozawa and come up with a solution."

To succeed in politics, one must be responsible. He had to protect Kiyohiro Tobita, even if he ultimately couldn’t, people needed to see that he tried his best.

"Hai! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Kiyohiro Tobita sighed in relief, repeatedly bowing in gratitude.

"What are you doing! Sir! Sir!"

"Get out of the way! Don’t block the path! Search every corner!"

Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside.

Hatanaka Zizi frowned and left hurriedly, seeing Eguchi Shinji aggressively burst into the living room with over a dozen policemen, as two servants attempted but failed to stop him.

"Baka yarou! What are you doing! Who let you in! Get out, all of you!"

Hatanaka Zizi shouted sternly.

"This is the Minister’s order, apologies, Mr. Hatena." Eguchi Shinji waved his hand, "Search!"

"Hai!"

More than a dozen policemen immediately spread out to search.

Following Minister Aoyama is truly exhilarating.

Each was excited beyond belief, never expecting they’d ever have the experience of storming into a former Prime Minister’s house to make an arrest.

Hatanaka Zizi, overwhelmed with anger, nearly fainted as his vision went black, shaking with fury. How dare that bastard Xiu Xin? How dare he do this!

He realized his mistake; he had overestimated Xiu Xin. Yes, how could that bastard, who came from such a humble background, have a long-term vision or grand aspirations? He didn’t have the concerns I imagined!

"Report to the section chief, we found him!"

Two policemen dragged out Kiyohiro Tobita.

"Your excellency, save me! Your excellency, save me!"

Kiyohiro Tobita struggled, pleading repeatedly.

Hatanaka Zizi stood silent with a dark expression, as there was nothing he could say that would help. Better to keep his mouth shut.

"Retreat," Eguchi Shinji commanded.

Kiyohiro Tobita was forcibly dragged out of the Hatanaka household.

Hatanaka Zizi stayed motionless for a long time, finally erupting in a fit of rage, smashing household items under the terrified gaze of two servants.

With the living room in a mess, he finally calmed down from exhaustion, sitting heavily on the sofa, breathing heavily, his face dark and indecisive.

Previously, he had never thought much of Xiu Xin, targeting him as a way to get at Yanchuan Shilang. But now, he hated Xiu Xin to the bone and had to vent this anger.

Once tonight’s incident spreads, the bureaucrats will certainly discuss Xiu Xin’s arrogance and rudeness, but they will also talk about his incompetence and see the New Party’s weakness, leading to another wave of defections.

After all, the main members of the New Party originally splintered from the Liberal Democratic Party, mostly opportunists who jumped ship when the LDP seemed unviable. Now seeing the New Party flounder, they’ll jump ship again.

Hatanaka Zizi panted heavily, his eyes full of malice.

"Xiu Xin! You damn well deserve it!"

.................

"Xiu Xin certainly deserves it!"

In the first-class cabin of a flight from the United States to Japan, Ninpei Oshiro agreed with his brother Nipponjiro’s statement but quickly shifted his tone, "But figuring out how to make him pay requires careful planning. He’s already harmed our father, and our family has no substantial power in Japan anymore. Just the two of us can’t avenge our father in haste."

The privacy in first class was good, but the soundproofing was average, so he spoke in a low voice.

"It’s not that complicated. The fairest thing in this world is that everyone only has one life. We just need to find the opportunity to shoot him, and even if we’re caught, it’s just a matter of spending the rest of our life in prison."

Nipponjiro said grimly, his face gloomy.

The woman he loved became the fiancée of Aoyama Xiu Xin, he and his brother were driven out, and their father was killed, his father’s murder and wife snatching.

An irreconcilable hatred!

"Slap!" Ninpei Oshiro struck Nipponjiro hard across the face, and said coldly, "Speaking of perishing together is easy, but have you thought about what would happen to our mother? Father is already gone, if something happens to us, how will she survive?"

"I just said I’d come back alone, and you could take care of mother," Nipponjiro muttered.

"Slap!" Ninpei Oshiro slapped him again, "What nonsense are you talking about? The one who was killed was your father and also my father; avenging him is something we both must do! In any case, Aoyama Xiu Xin has to die, but it can’t be done recklessly. That bastard isn’t even worthy of having our whole family buried with him."

He wanted revenge.

But didn’t want to risk himself in the process.

"Understood!" After two slaps, Nipponjiro seemed much more docile. After responding, he asked, "Do you have any ideas, brother?"

"Aoyama Xiu Xin acts so viciously, he’s bound to have a lot of enemies. Surely it’s not just us two who wish him dead. We find those people and join forces to create more strength," Ninpei Oshiro shared his preliminary thoughts and then exhaled before saying, "Let’s discuss further after returning to Tokyo and learning more about the situation. We can’t rush things. We’re in the dark, he’s in the light, which gives us an advantage."

"Did I hear you talking about Aoyama Xiu Xin?"

Suddenly, a voice reached their ears.

The Renping Brothers jerked their heads around to see a young man in a suit, similar in age to them, tall and handsome, standing in the aisle with a smile on his face, staring at them.

"You must have heard wrong," Ninpei Oshiro denied.

"No need to be nervous, my friend," the young man smiled slightly, pointing at others saying, "Everyone else is already asleep. I was just about to go to the restroom and happened to overhear you. To be honest, I also have a grudge against Aoyama Xiu Xin. We can talk; the enemy of my enemy is my friend, don’t you think?"

The Renping Brothers exchanged a glance.

This Aoyama Xiu Xin has no shortage of enemies.

Even on the plane back home, they encounter one.

Just as Nipponjiro was about to say something, Ninpei Oshiro quickly pulled him aside, looking at the youth warily, "Pardon my caution, my friend, but how do we know you’re telling the truth?"

"I understand," the young man nodded, "After all, Aoyama Xiu Xin is domineering, ruthless, and insidious. It’s reasonable for you to be wary of a stranger like me."

Ninpei Oshiro knew he wasn’t finished.

A flash of recollection passed through the young man’s eyes, and he exhaled, "Would you like to hear the story of my enmity with him?"

"We’re all ears," Ninpei Oshiro said.

"I almost forgot to introduce myself," the young man suddenly remembered, smiling apologetically as he pulled out a business card with just his name and number, handing it over, "Sato Kenji, and what may I call you both?"

"Ninpei Oshiro." "Nipponjiro."

"Pleasure to meet you," Sato Kenji said, lightly bowing with the aid of the table and chair back, before continuing, "Two years ago, Aoyama Xiu Xin personally tore me and my lover apart. He gave me a sum of money like a charity and exiled me from the country."

Nipponjiro raised an eyebrow. Does Aoyama Xiu Xin enjoy banishing people from the country?

Ninpei Oshiro frowned. Though Sato Kenji said Aoyama Xiu Xin broke him and his girlfriend apart, it seemed to Ninpei Oshiro that Sato Kenji chickened out, chose to give up love, took the money, and left.

"For the past two years, every day has been torture for me. Not a moment goes by when I don’t miss the girl I love and think of that villain Aoyama Xiu Xin who tore us apart! I wish I could devour his flesh!"

As Sato Kenji spoke, he grew more and more agitated, his face twisted with rage. Realizing his overreaction, he took a deep breath to compose himself, saying, "With the money he gave me, I didn’t study abroad. Instead, I started a venture in the United States. Thanks to some opportunities, I’ve had some success, so now I’ve decided to go back and make him pay for his tyranny!"

"Thirty years on the east side, thirty years on the west, Aoyama Xiu Xin probably couldn’t even dream that I’d use his money to make something of myself abroad, and now, I’ll return to settle the score. I can’t wait."

At this point, he looked inspired.

But the Renping Brothers exchanged another glance.

And both looked at him with pity.

"Wha... What’s wrong?" Seeing their expressions, Sato Kenji felt hurt, confused, and bewildered.

Ninpei Oshiro looked at him sympathetically, "Aoyama Xiu Xin is now the Head of Criminal Affairs Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, his brother is a Member of Parliament and Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and his god-grandfather is the Prime Minister. May I ask how substantial is the empire you’ve built in the United States to give you such confidence?"

"What?" Sato Kenji’s eyes widened, staring at the two of them, "Impossible! That’s impossible! In just two years, how could he have..."

Suddenly, he couldn’t continue, realizing from the look in the Renping Brothers’ eyes that they weren’t joking.

Sato Kenji felt defeated, questioning life.

Originally thinking that having become successful, he’d return triumphantly to clear his name, only to find his enemy had advanced even faster than he had, narrowly avoiding humiliating himself again.

"Mr. Sato, it’s precisely because Aoyama Xiu Xin is so powerful that we must form a revenge alliance!" Ninpei Oshiro consoled him in return.

Sato Kenji came back to himself, took a deep breath, and nodded vigorously, "Right! We must unite!"
