I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 197-199: Taking the Heart!

Whoa, what is this?

The hero, Tori, lay on the ground, feeling the sticky, warm sensation on his chest.

This is my blood...

Why, why did it turn out like this?

I was forced to kill that thug because he hit Hua Ling and threatened to kill her, wasn't that right?

All I wanted to do was protect something more important than my own life.

Kidnapping, torture, burying alive—these people committed such outrageous atrocities, yet they were still not satisfied; they even turned their anger on my family.

Hua Ling, and the mother of my child, there's simply no way our family can survive.

Kugo, Machiguchi, you bunch of people...

As long as you lot are around, there will never be peace!

"Hurry up and don't delay any longer; the police might already be calling the station!"

Ku Ge looked at the Yakuza men who were approaching the mother and daughter with ropes and hoods, and shouted with slight annoyance.

"Send those two vile women and Tori's corpse to the group's factory. After we finish this job, we'll all go to Kyushu Island to hide for a few months and lay low."

The massacre of a family of three, coupled with the use of firearms, is a major case for the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and may even attract the attention of the Metropolitan Police Department. It would also be a big problem for the Asato Group.

The Tosu mother and daughter were lucky. They were supposed to go through hellish torture before they died, but now, to save time, they didn't have time to let their Yakuza subordinates have fun with them.

This time, however, Brother Ku finally found the real culprit who killed the young master and avenged him personally. As a result, the position of team leader...

"Ah, ah, ah..."

The Kamen Riders had surrounded the mother and daughter, and just when things were about to turn around, the Kamen Rider who was lying on the ground suddenly stood up.

Blood was still gushing out of the bullet hole in his chest!

"Brother Ku, it's haunted!"

The Yakuza were immediately thrown into an uproar, and some even wanted to turn around and run away.

"As long as the Matriarchy exists, this nightmare will never end!"

The Kamen Rider roared and issued an accusation.

The Kamen Rider suit bulged and swelled unnaturally a few times, and with a few "whoosh" sounds, dozens of black tentacles pierced through the suit, completely penetrating the four Yakuza like thorns!

[Earth Grudge Technique LV1] [Earth Grudge Technique LV2]!

"ah--!"

"It hurts!"

Chest, thighs, shoulders, brow...

Even the strongest human skull is like tofu, easily pierced by the black tentacles.

Some were killed instantly by the Yakuza, while others were impaled in the air, screaming in agony, and were still breathing for a while.

"Damn it! Tosu! You monster, die!"

Ku Ge was shocked and furious, and pulled out the Black Star pistol from his pocket.

Before he could even aim, a black tentacle lashed out like a whip, severing Ku Ge's wrist!

The severed hand, still holding the gun, fell to the ground.

"Ugh!"

Ku Ge was indeed a shrewd killer. Although he was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely, he still tried to pounce down and use his only remaining hand to grab the pistol from the ground.

With a "whoosh," several black tentacles shot out from under the Kamen Rider suit, binding the limbs of the guy and lifting him into the air.

The black tentacles that had pierced Yakuza's little brother retracted into his body, blood spurted from the wound, and with a few thuds, the corpse fell heavily to the ground.

The blood stained the tattered Kamen Rider suit crimson.

The mother and daughter, Tosu, were also splattered with blood, and both looked shocked and bewildered.

The blood was still flowing from the hole in Kamen Rider's chest, and his body swayed a few times before he managed to stand up steadily.

His heart was pierced by a bullet!

Tosu knew this fact very well: even if a human's heart is pierced, he can only live for a few minutes, and that's just a prolonged existence.

However, after glimpsing the alien god covered in black tentacles while unconscious, it was like a shot of adrenaline injected into his body, restoring the Bird Hero to consciousness and allowing him to unleash his power to subdue Yakuza and Kuge.

But this was nothing more than a last gasp before the flames died down.

With his heart pierced, he won't last more than a few minutes before following in the footsteps of these scumbags.

Can't die!

We can't die yet!

After the outburst, the black tentacles surging within him became even more frenzied, and a sinister and forbidden knowledge flowed into the Bird Hero's mind, revealing the only way for him to survive.

But after doing this, can I still be considered a human being?

The hero of the Birch Ridge hesitated for a moment.

But the heart, which had already stopped beating in his chest, told him that time was running out.

After crawling out of the Aokigahara Forest, I was already a monster. Now, do I still have a choice?

Manipulating the black tentacles to move Cave Brother in front of him, Tori Hero coldly asked:

What would happen if a person had no heart?

Although the excruciating pain from his severed left wrist and the blood loss had turned Ku Ge's lips deathly pale, his gaze fell upon the corpse lying to the side, and fear was evident on his face.

The indecisive, timid office worker, Tosu Hero, now seems like a completely different person, radiating a terrifying aura as if from hell, making even an executioner like him tremble with fear.

"Tosu, think about your family. There's still room for maneuver, but if you kill me, you'll truly be at odds with the Asato Group to the death. There are still members in our group..."

A fierce killing intent flashed in the eyes of the hero, Tosu!

Now that things have come to this, what's with all this talk of a fight to the death? Isn't it you trash like the Mato Group who drove me to this dead end?

What would happen if a person had no heart?

Tosu Hero asked again expressionlessly, without waiting for Ku Ge's answer. Instead, he looked down at his chest and answered himself.

"A person without a heart is dead!"

The hero of the roost raised his left wrist and grabbed his chest, tearing open the flesh and pulling out a heart that had stopped beating and had a bloody hole.

He glanced down at it, then casually tossed it on the ground like a worn-out shoe.

Then the Hero of the Birds' Nest turned his cold gaze to Brother Cave, his black tentacles lifting him into the air.

"Spare me!"

At this moment, Ku Ge realized that he was in big trouble and quickly begged for mercy.

The Hero of the Bird Riding raised his left wrist, and black tentacles extended from the severed end. He plunged his hand into the chest of the Cave Brother and pulled it out, tearing the Cave Brother's heart out alive!

From the gaping hole in the chest of the roosting hero, black tendrils shot out, wrapping around his still-beating heart and placing it inside his chest cavity.

We can survive!

Feeling his chest still rising and falling, the hero of the Bird's Nest was overjoyed.

"Hua Ling, the mother of my child, are you alright..."

As if remembering something, Tosu Hero turned to look at the Tosu mother and daughter.

But I saw them huddled together, trembling, their faces filled with terror and fear, as if they had seen some kind of monster.
