"People from the Silver Dragon Society?"

Nakai frowned slightly and looked at Kurosaki Ryuji.

Although the Silver Dragon Society is not a top-tier organization, it is considered a local power in this area, mainly engaged in lending and gray-market activities.

Ryuji Kurosaki's eyes remained completely unmoved, as if he had only heard an insignificant name.

He nodded slightly: "Let's go."

The group of people, like black ghosts, quickly left the back alley.

The shopping street behind "Ginza-dori" is brightly lit and bustling with people.

However, the second floor of the old office building where Sakumoto's office is located exudes an unusual quietness.

Ryuji Kurosaki stood at the entrance of the office.

The door was ajar, and the inside was a mess.

Files were scattered all over the floor, tables and chairs were overturned, and computer screens were shattered, as if the place had just been ransacked.

The air was filled with the smell of smoke, dust, and a faint, almost imperceptible odor of blood.

Clearly, someone had arrived before them, and their actions were quite violent.

Ryuji Kurosaki stepped inside, his shoes making a soft rustling sound as they stepped on the scattered papers.

His gaze swept across the entire space like a searchlight.

Zhongjing and the others quickly dispersed and checked every corner.

"Boss, nobody's here."

Zhongjing quickly reported: "Judging from the marks, they left in a hurry, and... they were forced to leave. There are signs of a struggle, and the bloodstains are very fresh."

Just then, a man wearing a cheap suit, with a bruised and swollen face, trembling in the clutter of the next office, was picked up like a chicken by the Godslayer Legion and thrown in front of Kurosaki Ryuji.

He is the building's property manager.

"Spare me! Spare me! I don't know anything!"

The administrator was terrified and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Where is Sakumoto Kazuo?"

Ryuji Kurosaki's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority as he cut straight to the point.

The administrator shuddered, his face contorted with grief: "They...they ran away! They ran away in the middle of last night! The Silver Dragon Society just...just came by! They smashed this place to pieces! They...they're looking for Sakumoto Kazuo too!"

"reason."

Ryuji Kurosaki's words were concise and to the point.

"I heard...I heard what those vicious leaders of the Silver Dragon Society said..."

The administrator swallowed hard, his voice trembling: "That bastard Sakumoto... embezzled! He stole a huge... huge batch of newly arrived 'goods' from... from the Silver Dragon Society's warehouse! It's those... those 'red Rams,' and then he... he ran off with the goods! Now the Silver Dragon Society is... searching for him all over the city, wanting... to tear him to pieces!"

The clues became clear instantly.

The red Rams that flowed into Kaiku and even spread to the vicinity of Suzuran and Houshin should be part of the shipment that Kazuo Sakumoto stole from the Silver Dragon Society.

Sakumoto used Kaiku's delinquent youths to test the waters of distribution, which resulted in attracting the real nemesis and exposing himself.

Unfortunately, the person still managed to escape.

The only lead has gone cold again.

Ryuji Kurosaki remained expressionless, seemingly unsurprised by the outcome and not overly disappointed; at least the mission was accomplished.

After all, the pop-up panel appeared.

Congratulations on completing the quest "The Clues of Red Ram"!

.......

Just a few days later, although it was learned that the source of the problem was Kazuo Sakumoto, no trace of Kazuo Sakumoto could be found.

"Boss, there are a few girls at the entrance of Lily of the Valley who specifically asked to see you."

On the same day, Tatsukawa Toki's voice carried a hint of something strange that was hard to detect: "One of them is... that tall, delinquent girl I saw at the bar last time."

Ryuji Kurosaki, sitting on the lily sofa, frowned slightly.

bar?

"Those two pretty fierce women from last time? The ones who kicked someone's balls off?"

"Correct!"

Chen Chuan Shisheng nodded, not knowing why, but he felt a chill in his lower body.

"what's up?"

Ryuji Kurosaki then asked.

"They seemed to be in a hurry... The tall girl said... her companion had been kidnapped, and only you can save her, and..."

···Requesting flowers·· ···

Tatsukawa Tokio paused for a moment, then emphasized, "She said she knows where Sakumoto Kazuo is."

A very subtle ripple finally crossed Kurosaki Ryuji's deep, cold eyes.

Kazuo Sakumoto?

This name had just been dropped from the clue chain, and now it's reappearing from the mouth of a seemingly unrelated delinquent girl?

"Take them to the top floor."

Ryuji Kurosaki slowly lit a cigarette while issuing instructions.

Suzuran High School, rooftop.

A cold wind howled, blowing the skirts and hair of the two girls.

Kawasaki Akemi stood at the very front, her tall figure appearing somewhat frail in the wind.

But now, the arrogance she had shown at the bar was gone from her face. Instead, there was an undisguised anxiety, fear, and a desperate determination.

Behind her were several girls dressed in similar styles, but all of them looked panicked.

Ryuji Kurosaki sat on the sofa, his sharp gaze fixed on Akemi Kawasaki as if it were a physical object.

An invisible, mountain-like sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire rooftop.

The girls behind Kawasaki Akemi turned pale with fright and instinctively took a few steps back, finding it difficult to even breathe.

... . ....

Only Kawasaki Akemi, though her body was trembling slightly and her hands were clenched into fists with her nails almost digging into her palms, forced herself to stand up straight and bravely meet Kurosaki Ryuji's gaze.

"Kuro...Kurosaki-san!"

Her voice trembled with tension and agitation: "Please! Save Kyoko-nee! She's been... kidnapped by that bastard Kazuo Sakumoto!"

"Kazuo Sakumoto?"

Ryuji Kurosaki repeated the name, his eyes sharp as knives, locking onto Akemi Kawasaki.

"Yes! It's him!"

Kawasaki Akemi nodded vigorously, as if grasping at a lifeline. "The two thugs we killed at the bar were actually Sakumoto Kazuo's men. We accidentally provoked him, and just last night, on her way home from school, Kyoko-nee was forcibly dragged into a car by their men!"

"I know... I know you just defeated Kaiku. You're the strongest. I heard you're looking for Sakumoto Kazuo. I know where he is. It's an abandoned old auto repair shop in the industrial area west of the city in the next prefecture. I can take you there! I just ask you... I just ask you to save Kyoko-nee while you're there!"

She finished speaking in one breath, her chest heaving violently, staring intently at Ryuji Kurosaki, awaiting his answer.

The entire rooftop was deathly silent, with only the howling of the wind.

Ryuji Kurosaki listened quietly, his face expressionless.

His cold gaze lingered on Kawasaki Akemi's face for a moment, then swept over the trembling girls behind her.

Kazuo Sakumoto...Abandoned auto repair shop...Kyoko Hayakawa?

The clues were reconnected in an unexpected way.

"lead the way."

Ryuji Kurosaki's voice remained cold and calm, without the slightest ripple, yet it resounded like thunder in Akemi Kawasaki's heart.

Become!

Ryuji Kurosaki also noticed that the pop-up panel had reappeared.

Chapter 207 Rescue!

An abandoned old car repair shop in the western industrial zone of the city.

The air was thick with the smells of engine oil, rust, and an unsettling stench of decay.

In the open space in the middle of the auto repair shop, a girl dressed in a high school uniform, named Hayakawa Kyoko, is strapped to a rusty iron chair.

Her school uniform was a little disheveled, and her mouth was taped shut, so she could only make "woo-woo" sounds.

But unlike the fear and despair of ordinary kidnappers, her eyes burned with the flames of anger, like a trapped little leopard that, even when bound, tried its best to straighten its spine and glared fiercely at the person in front of it.

Several men exuding a dangerous aura stood before her.

The leader was Kazuo Sakumoto, who wore a flashy shirt with his chest exposed, revealing his tattoos. He had slicked-back hair and a sinister look in his eyes.

He was fiddling with a small packet of red pills in his hand: Red Ram.

"Tsk...the bones are pretty tough?"

Sakumoto Kazuo crouched down and waved the red bag of Ramu in front of Hayakawa Kyoko a few times, trying to instill fear in her: "When you killed my men last time, you didn't expect this day to come, did you?"

"Woo! Woo! Woo!!!"

Hayakawa Kyoko suddenly struggled to her feet, and the iron chair emitted a grating, screeching sound.

Although she couldn't speak, her wide eyes were filled with undisguised contempt and anger, and she let out an angry growl, as if saying, "Bastard! Let me go if you dare, and see if I don't teach you a lesson!"
