America: My Time

Chapter 1050 Crisis breaks out
Chapter 1040 Crisis Erupts

By doing just a little 'small thing,' one can have a chance to turn their life around and earn a huge sum of money. Naturally, no one in Japan, who is already in dire straits, would refuse such an offer. After all, when they see a glimmer of hope in despair, these guys will desperately grasp it, and they won't give up even if they feel the slightest bit of unease!

It must be said that Mossad acted swiftly. In no time, everything was completed, and they had already arranged their personnel and put their plan into action. Soon, John's company in Japan was attacked, especially the convenience stores, which were the most severely affected. And this was just the beginning. Phoenix Comics was also impacted, with all sorts of insidious methods being used. And these guys weren't done yet; they also targeted the Nakayama Miho sisters. Although they didn't succeed, the impact was enormous.

Of course, those who wanted to sabotage John wouldn't just target John himself; that would make it obvious that they were attacking not only John's company but also other companies in Japan. Moreover, the targets weren't just the Nakayama sisters but also other Japanese idols. In short, they wanted to muddy the waters so they could fish in troubled waters.

"Miho, Shinobu, are you alright? Didn't I tell you to be careful and stay home as much as possible? How could such a danger still occur? Do you know how dangerous this is for you?" When Yasuko Sawaguchi learned that the Nakayama sisters had been attacked, she immediately became anxious.

"I didn't expect it to be this crazy. Fortunately, we weren't injured. And it wasn't just us who were attacked; others, including idols in the agency, were also attacked." Although Miho Nakayama said this, she was incredibly shocked. Even though she wasn't hurt this time, she knew the seriousness of the situation. This wasn't just a slap in the face; it was a provocation against John. Things had gotten out of hand.

Of course, Miho Nakayama understood even better that she was already in such danger before she had even been abandoned. If she were to lose her protection, the consequences would be even more severe. Most importantly, she had discussed the danger with her younger sister, Shinobu, and realized that it was probably not just targeting them, but more so targeting John. After all, 7-Eleven had been hit quite a bit. Although many convenience stores in Japan had also suffered damage, almost all of John's businesses had been attacked. That was the problem!
"Don't go out again. I'll talk to the office. From now on, none of us are allowed to leave our residence. Let the security personnel handle anything!" Yasuko Sawaguchi naturally understood what such a dangerous outbreak meant, so she could only remind Miho Nakayama once again.

When news of the attack on the Miho sisters spread, the Japanese guys all had grim faces. Even the most foolish person would understand that something was wrong. Someone was targeting John, otherwise Japan wouldn't have suddenly become so chaotic. But the people who attacked John's company were all Japanese, and they all managed to escape unscathed. However, these guys quickly disappeared without a trace.

Is someone in Japan targeting John? This was the first reaction of many in Japan. After all, there's a small group of people in Japan who think they're very capable, so it's not impossible for them to act impulsively like this, given that gambling is not uncommon in Japan. It was precisely because of this that they didn't react quickly or even launch a full investigation when John's company was attacked. They assumed the attackers were those with ulterior motives in Japan, and therefore wanted to cover for them.

However, now that this has happened, they can't cover it up even if they wanted to. Someone has to take responsibility for this. Most importantly, Mitsui is furious; this is a slap in the face, even a frame-up. And then there's Akio Morita—after all, he made a promise to John!
"Now let's talk about what we should do. I warned you all long ago not to play any tricks or do anything foolish, but why did some people not listen? Now things have blown up. How do you all plan to clean up this mess? This time, don't expect me to explain to Mr. John. This is not a problem that can be solved by explanation."

“Mr. Morita, we understand your concerns, but please don’t rush into a decision. Although something unpleasant happened, the worst-case scenario hasn’t occurred. The Nakayama sisters were only slightly frightened and were not harmed, so things haven’t gotten out of control!”

"Enough! What time is it? You're still giving me that bureaucratic nonsense. Do you think I'm a fool, or everyone else? Is this a small matter? What do you consider a big deal? Mr. John's companies in Japan were attacked before, even Phoenix Comics was impacted, but you didn't notice anything. Now this has happened again. Even a fool would know that someone is targeting Mr. John. If there isn't an explanation, an explanation that satisfies the other party, things will get out of control. I believe you don't want to see our company targeted again!"

Akio Morita was furious with these guys. In his eyes, they were a bunch of incredibly stupid bastards. If they had just tried a little harder and found out who was targeting John, things wouldn't be so passive, and everyone wouldn't be under so much pressure. Even though John hadn't reacted yet, Akio Morita knew that once this reached John's ears, another storm would break out, and the situation in Japan would spiral out of control! "Mr. Morita, I know you're dissatisfied with our police department, but it's not that we're inactive. It's that we can't find the attackers. They disappeared without a trace after they succeeded. We suspect someone had planned ahead and made them leave Japan. Moreover, some of these people are from dark forces, while others are ordinary people. How can you expect us to get results in such a short time!" The situation in Japan was extremely chaotic, and the conflict between dark forces was escalating, so finding results in a short period of time was impossible.

"Heh, I can accept your argument, but do you think Mr. John will accept it? Do you think we business owners can accept it when the other side launches an attack against our Japanese companies? Your reasoning is completely flawed!"

"Alright, Morita-san, none of us want to see this happen. We need time and a commitment. This matter has nothing to do with Mitsui. Mitsui has not been involved in this matter!" Soon, the Mitsui Group representatives stated, promising in front of everyone that everything had nothing to do with them.

"We at Mitsubishi can also assure you that we were not involved in this matter, and that it has absolutely nothing to do with us!"

"This matter has nothing to do with Sanhe; we know nothing about it!"

"Fuji was not involved. I know some people think this is our revenge, but I can assure you it has nothing to do with us!" The guys at Fuji were worried that people would suspect that they were involved. After all, the Nissan acquisition was put on hold, and Nissan was angry, and so was Fuji.

"Daiichi Kangyo Bank has not been involved in this matter, and it has nothing to do with us." Daiichi Kangyo Bank also stated directly that they also had concerns. After all, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the former richest man in Japan, was a member of their conglomerate, and his targeting of John's woman inevitably reminded people of this lecherous man!
"We, the Sumitomo, were not involved, and this has nothing to do with us. We're not stupid enough to do something so foolish!" Sumitomo also stated, denying any connection to the matter. This caused everyone present to frown. They all said it had nothing to do with them, but who in Japan would dare to do such a thing, especially under these circumstances? Could it be that the dark forces dared to do such a thing and ignore their warnings?
This is impossible. No one present would believe this. They wouldn't think that the dark forces in Japan would dare to ignore their warnings. If they really angered an American like John, their fate would be terrible. Even the Japanese government couldn't protect them; they would all have to give John an explanation.

"Gentlemen, I hope everyone can be sincere. I don't believe it's just those guys who dare to target John. This is clearly a premeditated plan. Anyone who participated in or planned this should step forward and take responsibility. That would be good for all of us. If it's discovered, it will be bad, and the consequences will be very serious!"

"Mitsui-san, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting us? And if you think we have a problem, we also think there's something wrong with Mitsui. After all, you have a history of such behavior, and it's not just once. If there's a problem, it's Mitsui's problem, not ours!"

"Enough! What time is it? Why are you still arguing? Mitsui-san is right. Those lowlifes wouldn't dare to do such a thing. But you've all forgotten one thing: not only do we have a motive, but your government also has a motive. Moreover, many government officials are cooperating with those guys. So perhaps it wasn't us who did it, but rather someone within the government who did it!"
