I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 164 and 166: Opportunity

"roar--!"

The scene unfolded in the blink of an eye, catching all the debtors off guard. The first victim appeared with unexpected speed!

The monster stretched out its sharp claws, ripped the bloody heart out of the corpse's chest cavity, and began to chew it up with both hands.

When the monster stopped eating, the people on the arena finally saw its true form.

This was a monster standing upright, reaching a height of two meters. It had disheveled hair and its entire body was covered in thick, white fur, some half a meter long, making it look like a white gorilla walking upright. However, its muzzle protruded like a rat's, and it had a mouthful of sharp fangs that were making terrifying chewing sounds.

"What kind of monster is this!?"

The debtors were horrified, their legs trembling.

"Charge! Charge!"

Chairman Hyodo, his face flushed, held the microphone and gesticulated wildly.

"Are those spears in your hands just embroidery needles? Why don't you hurry up and stab them to death?"

"You fraudster! This isn't an animal at all! It's a monster! This isn't what you promised!"

The young man with the pointed nose among the debtors shouted at the stands.

"That's because you're ignorant. Who says monsters aren't animals?"

Chairman Hyodo picked at his ear with a mocking grin and sneered, "I haven't fed 'Hakujiro' for five days. One or two human entrails aren't enough to satisfy it. If you don't attack now, you'll have even less chance once Hakujiro is full."

The long-haired monster named Shiro had swallowed the heart whole and was now sticking its pointed head into the corpse's chest, gnawing at its organs.

The deceased's belly was bulging and contracting, which looked extremely gruesome!

Shirojiro seemed to completely disregard the humans present, wolfing down his food while exposing his back entirely to the debtors.

"Listen to me, everyone, now we have no choice but to fight with all our might! Even monsters are made of flesh and blood, and they will die if they are pierced by spears."

The young man encouraged the other debtors.

The nickname "Terrifying Homo erectus" is well-deserved. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, primitive humans used simply crafted spears to hunt mammoths, causing the extinction of countless large wild animals, including giant whales in the ocean.

The javelins in the hands of the debtors were not the simple spears made of wood or stone by primitive people, but metal weapons made of steel, which were even more terrifying in their lethality!

As long as they are carbon-based organisms on Earth, they cannot use their keratinous outer skin and dermal tissue to block the attack of a steel spear.

"I'll count to three, and then we'll all throw our spears together! Think about that ten million yen—if we kill this monster, everyone will get ten million!"

This same young man had previously advised the debtors to choose the spear, and now he was displaying extraordinary courage among the anxious crowd. The debtors, as if they had found a pillar of support, all nodded in agreement.

"three……"

"two……"

"one!"

With a shout from the young man, everyone threw their steel spears with all their might.

Some of the seven or eight spears struck the stone wall, creating sparks, while others were driven several tens of centimeters deep into the rammed earth platform.

Although his accuracy wasn't great, he had the advantage of sheer numbers, and three of his spears hit Hakujiro beautifully.

But before the debtors could even welcome it, they saw that Shirojiro's originally soft white fur had transformed into hard thorns, just like a hedgehog's armor.

The meter-long steel spear couldn't pierce Shirojiro's body at all; instead, it became embedded in the thorns.

"roar!"

Shiro cried out in pain, then casually pulled a spear from his back, its tip still stained with blood. With his strong and powerful arm, he immediately bent the iron spear.

With a roar, it pounced on another person with lightning speed and immediately bit off his neck.

"No! This monster is not something we can kill!"

"Run!"

These debtors were terrified and fled in panic.

They were never professional soldiers; they were just a bunch of gamblers and whores. Their morale, fueled by money, melted away the moment they witnessed the monster's terror.

"Quickly, let us go!"

"I don't want that ten million anymore, I'm giving it up!"

"Open the door quickly!"

The debtors rushed to the side of the audience where Chairman Hyodo was, their emotions running high, shouting and yelling.

"Shut up, you bunch of trash!"

Chairman Hyodo picked up his cane and slammed it hard against the bulletproof glass, creating a deafening bang that instantly silenced the clamor from the audience.

"You came to participate in this event out of your own free will, to avoid paying off your debts and with a full ten million yen to spare. Now that you've discovered the danger, you want to back out halfway? There's no such thing as a free lunch!" Chairman Hyodo said with a ruthless expression.

The Black Emperor Society bigwigs around him also wore cruel smiles.

At the same time, Shirojiro dragged another person away, and the victim's long, mournful cry before dying sent chills down the spines of all the debtors.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry! I promise I'll pay you back the money I owe you! Please, have mercy and let me go!"

A debtor knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

"I will definitely pay it back, even if I have to steal or rob it, I'll pay it back in no time!"

"I'm sorry, please give me another chance!"

Seeing this, the others also knelt on the ground and began to plead desperately.

"You trash, no apologies! And no kneeling!"

Chairman Hyodo, his beard and hair bristling, his face contorted with a morbid madness, roared furiously:

"No matter what happens, you all apologize immediately! You think saying sorry is all it takes to clear your name and absolve you of all your sins? And then you kneel and prostrate yourself, thinking that everyone should forgive you, otherwise you're evil. That's what all you trash think!"

"In this country, it seems like you can solve any problem by apologizing and kneeling. But let me tell you, I absolutely do not agree with that nonsense!"

After a long and furious outburst, Chairman Hyodo leaned back in his wheelchair, panting heavily.

Even the high-ranking members of the Black Emperor Society and his black-clad bodyguards were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

"But I'm too soft-hearted for you, so even for hopeless trash like you, I'm willing to give you another chance!"

After catching his breath, Chairman Hyoudou looked on with amusement.

"Some of you will definitely survive, maybe even two if you're lucky."
