Chapter 293 Black Mask's Desperate Gamble

Someda, wearing a black skull-patterned T-shirt, was just an unknown nobody.

True members of the Steel Society never engage in such petty squabbles.

"Let's do great things! Let's do great things!"

Such a thought flashed through Takeo Miura's mind.
Now, the Shadow Cabinet has stopped supplying funds, and his cash flow is only enough for him to purchase one last batch of bombs, which means he will soon be leaving Tokyo.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Japanese Public Security Bureau are currently cracking down on organized crime groups, and this is not just targeting the Mud Party.

Even some of his Steel Society's strongholds were inexplicably exposed, and he still doesn't know how it happened. Therefore, Miura Takeo has made up his mind to pull off one last big heist before leaving Tokyo!
"I've had enough of all the red tape!"

Takeo Miura slammed his fist on the wooden armrest of the chair.

The immense force snapped the wooden armrests of the chair instantly, but he seemed oblivious to it, staring intently at the surveillance cameras he had installed, repeatedly replaying the scenes of the Japanese police entering the Steel Society's hideout.

—What exactly happened? Why was the base compromised?

Never mind that, what's important is that he has already instructed the Steel Society executives to withdraw all the money from the Swiss bank at once, as operating funds for their final operation before leaving Tokyo!
Takeo Miura's final plan was insane and violent.

Because he knew that the core members of the Suzuki Group, including Ayako Suzuki who had already left Tokyo, had returned to the Suzuki Group. He only needed to seize the opportunity during the next internal family meeting of the Suzuki Group.
They planted a large number of bombs in the Suzuki Group headquarters building, intending to destroy the entire building in one fell swoop.
This could kill off all the direct descendants of the Suzuki Group, plunging the Suzuki Group into internal strife, causing it to weaken, or even disappear from the Tokyo business world, becoming the main body of a whale fall!
At that time, countless companies will rise up because of the fall of the Suzuki Group.
This opportunity would allow Takeo Miura to rebuild his foundation in Tokyo in a different way, preparing for his return to the city and even reviving the Miura Foundation.
It's not impossible for them to even surpass the current Suzuki Group!
Thinking of the beautiful future,
Takeo Miura couldn't help but hum softly.

However, just as Takeo Miura was pondering, his brow furrowed slightly, and he touched his black mask with his hand, receiving memories shared from other black mask individuals, his thoughts becoming somewhat disordered.

He felt somewhat uncomfortable about this.

Because, generally speaking, sharing memories does not lead to mental disorder. This is a special case that suddenly appeared some time ago, and he still cannot find the reason for it.

However, the important thing now is not to find out why the black mask causes mental confusion.
Instead, we should examine the contents of the memories shared by other Black Mask individuals. If they are not important, they should be automatically shared once they enter the Black Mask's range.

"A criminal organization?"

"Besides the Shadow Cabinet, are there other criminal organizations in Tokyo? That's surprising. It seems the waters of this city run deeper than I imagined..."

Takeo Miura frowned involuntarily.
In his memory, the other person who contacted the Black Mask individual did not specify which organization he belonged to, but his intuition told him that the criminal group on the other side was probably another terrifying force no less powerful than the Shadow Cabinet.

Regarding the sudden offer of cooperation from that criminal group
Takeo Miura is not rare.
He doesn't need any other criminal groups to help him. Even the Shadow Cabinet, which paid him to prove their strength, is ignored by him. So this other criminal group hiding in the shadows is even less likely to be involved.

After rejecting the deal,

A member of that criminal group sent a new message, stating that...
It seems you still can't grasp the difference in strength between us.

After that, the members of that criminal group never sent any more messages.
Upon seeing this, Takeo Miura frowned.

He had a vague feeling that something was about to happen, but he didn't seem to have any way to counter it.

—Forget it, I'll just ignore those things.

The important thing now is to decide what to do with the last of the funds withdrawn from the Swiss bank.

He was going to use that money to buy a batch of bombs.

Nighttime, the top floor of the apartment building opposite the Mouri Detective Agency.

Chen En connected the data cable between the computer and the special-purpose microcomputer.
The five-minute Oracle state then begins.
He's going to start investigating the matter of Black Mask.

Because, according to a friend of Makoto Kusakabe within the Japanese Public Security Bureau,

Black Mask seems to be planning something big.

Previously, he had difficulty tracking down the Steel Association's whereabouts in Hakodate City.
Now that they're back in Tokyo, how could it not be difficult to track down the Steel Association's whereabouts?
The data flashed past Chen En quickly.

Chen En immediately noticed the unusual transfer information from the UBS Group's Tokyo branch. Although UBS, in this era, still maintained relatively good confidentiality regarding customer information, this was a significant development.

However, it was still incredibly vulnerable in the face of Chen En, who possessed electronic technology far ahead of its time.

He quickly identified the person who withdrew the money, and through the bank where the large sum of money was withdrawn, he continuously monitored the surveillance cameras in the surrounding area, tracking the person who had withdrawn the money and was about to leave.

Ultimately, he successfully pinpointed the man's destination.

—An abandoned warehouse area in Tokyo.

Haha, it's that abandoned warehouse area again.
Because disposing of that area would require a large sum of money and wouldn't generate any revenue, the abandoned warehouse area has remained untouched, making it a true melting pot of all sorts of people and a base for crime.

Fortunately, Chen En had installed a camera there.
It was installed during the investigation into Akemi Miyano's whereabouts. Later, because of an accident involving Akemi Miyano, Chen En expanded the surveillance camera range there and used dozens of Rogue computers for data storage.

Now is the time for Chen En to coordinate this batch of surveillance cameras.

The missing section of the road surveillance cameras had been filled by the surveillance cameras Chen En had installed, and the figure was clearly moving towards a certain point in the abandoned warehouse area.
According to surveillance camera footage from other areas, he could also see traders with several vans and weapons—the vans appeared to be filled with explosives.

"It's time to go."

Chen En narrowed his eyes, revealing a look of disapproval, and said.
