Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 232 is not a good thing

The clues are troublesome.

Uehara Kazuma was very honest and told everything that had happened to him. The whole process lasted for more than an hour, but Fujiwara Masato condensed his original words, which roughly meant that some important person contacted him, gave him documents, and told him to do things.

Then, who is this big shot?
He is the third secretary to the current Prime Minister of Japan.

Then where is this third secretary now?
I went to visit Washington, the United States with the Prime Minister of Japan, and I won't be back for at least ten days or half a month.

Can you check further?
You can investigate further, why not? He is just the third secretary of the Japanese Prime Minister, so what if he is arrested?
This jerk named Honde Atsushi is obviously another commissioned middleman. If we continue investigating, we don’t know how many people we will have to arrest before we can get to the truth of the matter.

Fujiwara Masato was already fed up. He particularly hated the process of engaging in a battle of wits with the mastermind behind the scenes.

Ugh, disgusting.

How about throwing away the red tape and just starting killing?

As long as you kill enough people, you will eventually kill your enemy!!!

No, no, no, calm down, Fujiwara Masato, it's not time to go on a killing spree without regard for the consequences. Your pharmaceutical company and the newly opened Red J Hotel haven't made enough money yet, and haven't broken back their investment yet. This is the last resort, and it shouldn't be a normal attack. You're not some antisocial lunatic.

Calm down and think about it calmly. If you are in trouble, who is the winner?
Bellamy and Kazuma Uehara, who explained everything clearly, looked in fear at Masato Fujiwara, who was sitting on the sofa with his head down, thinking. The latter had a gloomy and murderous look on his face. The Valkyries beside him were staring at him with their pistols ready to shoot.

It’s dangerous, this damn place, these people are so dangerous!
Bellamy was fine, knowing that he was now a poker player. He was just a little afraid that when he executed Kazuma Uehara, he would be accidentally injured by a stray bullet.

Kazuma Uehara, one of the protagonists, was so scared that he almost wet his pants.

This Fujiwara Masato is not thinking about killing someone, right?

When taking on this task, Kazuma Uehara was actually really scared, because through the Uehara family's connections, he knew the horror of the poker organization and the bloodthirsty nature of old man Uehara's grandson.

It was only after careful consideration that Kazuma Uehara felt that President Bellamy of the World Academy Group was a respectable man of status and he should know what it meant to keep a secret, so he took on this matter.

As a result, this matter was a hook from the beginning. He took the bait himself and was then found by the poker organization.

Kazuma Uehara now only hopes that his Uehara surname can save his life and that he won't die here... It's really ridiculous that he has abandoned this surname, but in the end he still hopes that this surname can protect himself.

Trembling in fear, Kazuma Uehara was lost in thoughts, thinking about the past and what he should do if he were lucky enough to survive.

"I have a question?"

"Ah...you ask, you ask..." Uehara Kazuma reacted and immediately bowed timidly to Fujiwara Masato.

"If my true identity is exposed, will it have an impact on the poker organization?"

Fujiwara Masato was very puzzled. He admitted that he tentatively revealed a little bit of his identity because he was immature and wanted to move freely under the sun, and now he paid a little price for it.

Although this price greatly increased Fujiwara Masato's income, he could no longer be as unscrupulous as before and kill anyone he wanted at will.

However, overall, Fujiwara Masato did not reveal his true identity. According to common sense, even if someone wanted to target the poker organization, the first target should not be himself, but the more rampant Huangmao outside, and Chris in New York.

No matter how you look at it, the young man Fujiwara Masato is also a candidate for the batting order, but not the first choice.

Now this attack is coming directly at Fujiwara Masato. This situation seems wrong no matter how you look at it.

Unless, this matter was aimed at Fujiwara Masato himself from the beginning, rather than specifically at the poker organization itself.

"I don't know, sir..."

Uehara Kazuma seemed very honest, but when Fujiwara Masato raised his finger and was about to point at the former, he immediately changed the subject.

"However, from what I know, if you are wanted by the Japanese police, it will have a certain impact on the Uehara family, both good and bad."

And good influence! ?
"What do you mean by bad?"

"Ah, this is very complicated, there are many things to say, the overall situation is that in some dark areas, the Uehara family will lose some reputation, and some families who are eyeing the president of the Chiba County Agricultural Association will have some other ideas."

This is to be expected.

“What about the good influence?”

Fujiwara Masato nodded to Uehara Kazuma and continued asking questions.

"The good impact is that you will lose the right to run for the Uehara family, and will not threaten Uehara Kazuto's inheritance rights."

When mentioning the name Uehara Kazuto, Uehara Kazuma's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of resentment. He obviously hated this person very much.

Fujiwara Masato was not in the mood to care about the grudges between Uehara Kazuma and Uehara Kazuto, he just had a question.

How did I get the inheritance rights to the Uehara family?

"As an illegitimate child, do I have the right to inherit the Uehara family?" Fujiwara Masato asked Uehara Kazuma.

Sensing a hope of survival, Uehara Kazuma stood up very seriously, and once again, bowed and nodded to Fujiwara Masato, just like the translator's lackey in the anti-Japanese war drama.

“Of course you do. Although you don’t have the surname of the Uehara family, you do have the blood of the Uehara family after all, and your power is so strong now, and Master Uehara Ruei has a good relationship with you.

Therefore, there are still many members in the Uehara family who like you. If you are willing to contact them, it is possible to gain their support, and then there is a certain hope that you will inherit the Uehara family after Uehara Shintaro passes away. "

Fujiwara no Masato thought carefully about Uehara Kazuma's words, extracted the meaning, and then suddenly realized it.

It turned out that it was the Japanese's natural admiration for the strong that was at work. The violence displayed by the poker organization won the admiration of some members of the Uehara family. Secondly, some people also had ideas about this inheritance and wanted to do something.

There is a saying that goes, chaos is the ladder to promotion. If the Uehara family is harmonious and peaceful during the inheritance process and nothing happens, then how can some people who are dissatisfied with the status quo gain more benefits and voice?

Therefore, those so-called supporters probably also have the same idea in mind. They are making up cards out of thin air and trying to play power games.

The same is true for Kazuma Uehara. What he said to save his life must be true and false. You can believe some of it, but not all of it.

However, regarding the issue of inheritance rights, Fujiwara Masato felt that he should investigate it. Through this conversation, Fujiwara Masato successfully calmed himself down and could objectively and seriously think about how to deal with this backstabbing incident.

Prime Minister, the poker organization can no longer continue its investigation. Fujiwara Masato knows too little about the Japanese upper class. To put it bluntly, he lacks reliable senior informants.

This Uehara Kazuma can be considered one, but he is unreliable, so forget it.

Secondly, continuing the investigation in this way would take too much time and energy. Not only would it not be worth the effort, but the mastermind behind the scenes would also have plenty of time to handle the matter properly, making it impossible for Fujiwara Masato to find the real culprit.

After all, the poker organization is an organization that excels at force rather than investigation.

Therefore, Fujiwara Masato decided to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. Since he was not good at investigation, he would let people and forces who were good at it do the investigation.

"Uehara Kazuma, let me ask you a question. Do you think the Masuyama family is the one that ordered you to do this?"

"I'm not sure." Uehara Kazuma thought about it seriously.

"The interests of big families are complicated. I'm not sure..."

"Since you're not sure, then that's it... Come on, talk to this phone and use your ability to make the people who hear the recording think that it was the Yishan family who instructed you to do this."

Fujiwara Masato sneered, took out his cell phone, turned on the recording function, put it to Uehara Kazuma's mouth, and instructed him.

"If you finish this task, I will let you go. Otherwise... have you thought of the last words to be engraved on your tombstone? Don't worry, for the sake of your name, I will let you rest in peace."

Fujiwara no Masato's words were no longer a hint, but a direct message to Uehara Kazuma that he needed to frame the Masuyama family. If you did it, you could still get out of here, but if you didn't, you would die here.

Uehara Kazuma smiled bitterly. Does he have any choice?

He took the phone resignedly, thought carefully, and after brewing his words, he began to speak into the phone, saying some fictitious words that, if heard by others, would make Yishan's crotch covered with mud.

……

It was late at night, and when he should have been sleeping, Yishan Liang, wearing a kimono, stood by the pond. Amid the sound of flowing water and bamboo, he watched the golden carp swimming slowly in the moonlight. His face was tense and it was visibly unhappy.

Behind Yishan Liang, a dignified middle-aged man in police uniform who looked somewhat similar to Yishan Liang hurried over and walked up to the former.

"Father, what happened?"

"A bad thing." Yishan Liang handed the phone to his son.

"Zhengren, please listen to this recording."

Masato Ikyama took the phone and began to listen carefully to the recording in the phone.

At first, his expression was a little disapproving, but slowly, he became serious, and then he frowned. He looked at his old father, wanting to say something, but he held it back and continued to listen quietly.

Restraining his inner discomfort, when Masato Isyama finally finished listening to the half-hour recording, he immediately growled at Ryo Isyama.

"Father, this is slander. This guy Uehara Kazuma is slandering me. I have never had any dealings with him, and I never instructed him to sell the information of the poker organization to the World Yad Group."

"I also believe that you won't do such a stupid thing." Yishan Liang sighed, his stern face relaxed, and his face was full of helplessness.

"The problem is that this recording was sent to me by the Tokyo head of the poker organization. Do you think he will believe what you say?"

Masato Ikyama was silent, he understood very well what his grandfather meant. In this matter, the Ikyama family could not refute it. The poker organization released this recording as a warning and a preview.

Ryo Ishiyama and Masato Ishiyama had not expected that things would develop like this.

Was the betrayal of Fujiwara no Masato planned by the Masuyama family?
No.

But are the Yishan family really innocent?

Not entirely true. Masato Masuyama himself knew a little bit about the inside story, but the old man asked him to keep it secret, so he said nothing to the outside world and did not inform his ally Fujiwara Masato in advance.

Then, the Yishan family suffered a backlash.

Fujiwara Masato went crazy. He somehow found Uehara Kazuma, one of the "daggers", and made this recording.

Masato Masuyama didn't know much about Kazuma Uehara, but he knew that this guy had actually severed ties with the Uehara family after an irreconcilable conflict with Kazuto Uehara a few years ago.

Although Kazuma Uehara bears the surname Uehara, he does not get support from the Uehara family in Tokyo. He can only work alone as a secretary for a Tokyo council member to accumulate his own connections and political resources.

Now that he's been bitten by this bastard, Masato Ishiyama really has nothing to say.

"What should we do now, father?" Masato Ishiyama made a decision, but he still asked the old man for his opinion.

"Investigate and tell the truth to the Poker Organization. Let Fujiwara Masato know who is attacking him." Ryo Masuyama narrowed his eyes and spoke sternly to his son.

"This matter has nothing to do with us. We must not take the blame for others... Fujiwara Masato is obviously very angry now. If we don't give him what he wants, he will definitely attack you."

"Fujiwara Masato dares to kill me!?" Masato Masato was shocked.

"Why wouldn't he dare? If this matter is not resolved, Fujiwara Masato will have a thorn in his heart. Once he is wanted by the Japanese government and listed as a terrorist, his public life will be ruined. Why wouldn't he dare?
Once he fell into this situation, in order to maintain his position within the poker organization, Fujiwara Masato had to kill a lot of people, and the blood of big men had to be drawn, in order to show his majesty and brutality to his subordinates. "

Ikyama Ryo's face was serious, and he turned to look at Ikyama Masato.

"In the military organization of Poker, I don't know how Fujiwara Masato became the head of a branch, but in order to maintain his position, he will definitely do whatever it takes... No matter what, we can't become that price."

"Hi, I understand, father." Masato Ishiyama nodded seriously.

"I have some clues about this matter, and I will find the truth soon."

"Not soon, but tomorrow... I actually know the reason for this. Alas, I just didn't expect it to involve us."
