Chapter 269 The Pursuer Who Risks Everything

"It seems that Phantom Thief Kid intends to be our enemy. It looks like this guy wants to keep the One Piece for himself!"

"Hehe, it's alright, just play along!"

Brian D. Mencang said with a sneer,

A person who can carve out a place for himself in the war-torn Southeast Asia is no easy task. After failing to assassinate Takumi Axe, he was attacked by Kaito Kid and immediately included Kaito Kid in his kill list.

Now his various mercenaries are acting separately.

He deliberately sent Fukushiro Ryogoku out as a treasure-hunting rat, thus finding the location of Goryoku and noticing the secret. Next, his task was simple: to lure out and kill the Phantom Thief Kid!

"The Star Prism Blade that Takuzo Onoe possessed was stolen by Phantom Thief Kid."

"If the Star Prism Blade, which can pinpoint the true location of the Axe River Treasure, is still in the hands of Phantom Thief Kid, then we can now use Fukushiro Yoshie's death as bait to mislead others into thinking that we have found the key to solving the mystery."

“The Phantom Thief Kid will naturally come to us with the Star Prism Blade. All we need to do then is take him down.”

"We will effortlessly acquire both the Star Prism Blade and the Axe River Treasure! Then, we will return to Southeast Asia with this weapon, which is powerful enough to change the world order, and sell it, with everyone getting a share of the profits!"

Brian addressed the large group of mercenaries who had followed him from Southeast Asia to Hakodate.

These mercenaries, all armed with submachine guns and reeking of blood, now gleamed with ferocity and greed upon hearing Brian's words, wishing they could seize the Axe River Treasure for themselves right now.

They're all ruthless characters from Southeast Asia, with blood on their hands.

These are not ordinary police officers from the Hakodate Police Headquarters who have never seen blood. Even the police officers from the Hokkaido Police Headquarters and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are not necessarily a match for these mercenaries.

Kuroba Toichi, who was listening to the sounds through the bug, couldn't help but become serious.

—At this point, it's no longer appropriate to admit that the Fujiang Treasure is merely an antique cipher machine in a mountain cave.

Even if you say it out loud, the Merchant of Death would never believe it.

He and his mercenaries had gone bankrupt to come to Hakodate City, all for the sake of pulling off a big heist, taking the money, and leaving to enjoy life in the United States. Unless he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't accept the idea that the treasure was just an antique cipher machine.

Even if he knew it was a cipher machine, he absolutely could not reveal it, otherwise his power would collapse!

Worst of all, on the other hand, Takuzo Onoe has already disappeared from the public eye.

No one knows what crazy things Takuzo Onoe, who is already under investigation by the Hokkaido Police Headquarters, might do, given the possibility of losing control of the Onoe Zaibatsu.

The current situation seems to be tilting in an increasingly worse direction.

Moreover, Kuroba Toichi himself was well aware that...
At first, Kaito Kuroba did steal Takuzo Axe's Star Prism Blade, but later, when he was attacked by a masked man wielding the blade, Kaito Kuroba had to abandon the sword and leave. The sword then fell into the hands of Heiji Hattori.

If Hattori Heiji discovers Goryokaku's secret and comes with the Star Prism Blade, the consequences will be unimaginable.

— We need to think of a way to prevent this from happening.

Just as Kuroba Toichi was pondering, a text message notification sounded.
He took his phone out of his pocket.

The message that appeared above was clearly from Kaito Kuroba.

------

The Fueko chaebol is a family business.

This demonstrates that the head of the Fuejiang family will always be the sole controller of the Fuejiang conglomerate.

Previously, the head of the Akae family was undoubtedly Akae Takuzo, the son of the second head of the family.

However, now, it has been discovered that Takuzo Axe has connections with the underworld.
Several other crimes are also being investigated.

Therefore, Takuzo Fujie was no longer qualified to be the head of the Fujie family. At this moment, in the Fujie family's internal meeting room...
Many elders of the Fujiang family gathered together.
The seat that should have been occupied by Takumi Onoe was the main seat.

At this moment, a middle-aged man was sitting there instead.

This middle-aged man is Takuzo Fue's uncle.

When Takuzo Fue came to power, he was the one competing with him.
He was defeated by Takuzo Onoe because he couldn't come up with a compelling story, and was forced to withdraw from the family head election.
Now that Tokie Takusan has a long list of bad deeds, it's time for him to become the head of the family.

The elder of the Axe River family said in a cold voice,
"Takuzo Fukie is no longer qualified to be the head of the Fukie family."

"I demand that Takuzo Fujie be removed from the Fujie family now, stripped of his position as chairman of the Fujie conglomerate, and that all his current positions be transferred to me. Who objects? Who agrees?"

Inside the meeting room, the many elders looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

However, it wasn't that they felt this elder was the one everyone wanted; it was simply because this elder's influence in both the underworld and legitimate circles was no less than that of Takuzo Akawa, and his hands were no cleaner than Takuzo Akawa's.

—This was not wrong in the eyes of many elders of the Axe River family.

Crime is a privilege of the powerful and wealthy.

We shouldn't criticize them too much.

Committing a crime is not wrong; getting caught is wrong!
The elder immediately stood up and faced the many elders of the Axe River family.
He wanted to give a speech about becoming the new head of the family and the current chairman of the Fuejiang Zaibatsu.

However, the next moment, someone's voice rang out.
"I object!"

The conference room door was kicked open.

Fu Jiangtaku strode into the conference room.

Behind him followed a large number of thugs from the underworld forces under Fu Jiangtuo San.
Seeing this formation, many elders felt uneasy and uncertain.
Everyone knows that Takumi Fue is petty and narrow-minded.
They have now approved of Takuzo Fue's uncle becoming the head of the family, and they fear that their own interests will be harmed as a result.

However, the elder sitting in the main seat sneered.
"What? You object to me becoming the head of the family? Who do you think you are now?"

"When you're in the game, connections and influence matter. Don't think that just because you have a few guys with you, I'm afraid of you."

“My good nephew, if you obediently admit defeat now, your uncle may consider helping you escape Hakodate City.”

Hear this,

Takuzo Akie smiled.
He lowered his head, and his uncle, thinking he had conceded defeat, was about to approach to say a few more words in a victorious manner. However, in the instant his uncle got close, Tokie Takuzo drew a short-barreled hunting rifle.

Without hesitation, he shot his uncle in the chest, sending him flying instantly.

The next moment, before the other elders could panic, a large number of gangsters swarmed in and cleaned the people in the conference room. He then picked up his uncle's phone and dialed a number.

—From this day forward, only one person will be in charge of the underworld in Hakodate City.

That was him, Axe Takuzo.

Even if it only lasts one night, and people will notice something is wrong the next day, so what? He doesn't care anymore, as long as he can get the secret treasure left by his grandfather and sell it.

He could then have endless wealth, travel to more places, and live a carefree and unrestrained life!

"I will definitely be the one who gets the secret treasure in the end!"

"Itsuki Takumi said viciously,"

Moreover, if you're going to do something, do it thoroughly.

He killed his family members, and he also killed any officers from the Hokkaido Police Headquarters or the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who dared to investigate him!

Anyway, if the police can't find him, they'll target the Axe River family and the Axe River conglomerate, which will prevent the Axe River family from using the Axe River conglomerate's power to seek revenge on him after he's fled! It's a win-win situation!
There is no reason not to kill!
