Those few minutes felt like an eternity to her.
As the underworld disappeared, the oppressive atmosphere that had enveloped the entire shopping street slowly dissipated.
The people who had previously fled in fear cautiously gathered again, and the shopping street regained a bit of life.
But this time, almost everyone's gaze was drawn, seemingly unintentionally, to the girl who was still standing alone, her body trembling slightly.
Whispers, like streams thawing in spring, rose from every corner, converging into an unsettling undercurrent.
"Oh my God, the poor child..." A housewife who had just tucked her child into her arms covered her mouth, her eyes filled with lingering fear and sympathy.
"Those people, are they gangsters? My legs were shaking with fear just now... They don't look like good people at all..." a young shop assistant whispered to his colleague next to him.
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Do you want them to target you?" His companion immediately stopped him nervously.
An elderly man who had run a shop nearby for many years sighed and shook his head at his regular customers: "That girl... seems to be the one who lives at the end of the street, the one named Kato? Her parents recently... sigh... what a tragedy."
"If you get entangled with the underworld, your life is over..."
"Look how pale she is, it's so pitiful... But what can ordinary people like us do? Calling the police probably won't help..."
Voices of pity and sympathy arose.
……
Just a dozen meters away, in a corner, a woman dressed in ordinary sportswear and wearing a baseball cap, who looked unremarkable, leaned against the wall and slowly withdrew her sharp, hawk-like gaze.
She is a female bodyguard sent by the Blue Wing Security Company to secretly protect Kato Megumi.
For a fleeting moment, she even considered striking directly and snapping the necks of those three bastards.
But in the end, she held back.
Because the boss's order was—
[Monitor closely and do not take any action before I give the order. I need to see the entire 'process'.]
She sighed and disappeared into the shadows again, like a loyal shadow, continuing to protect Kato Megumi.
……
Once she calmed down, Kato Megumi didn't hesitate and immediately dialed the police.
Two police officers arrived at the scene quickly.
Kato Megumi calmly recounted everything that had just happened. However, after taking her statement, the police officer looked troubled.
“Ms. Kato, we sympathize with your situation. However… the other party maintained a distance from you throughout, there was no physical contact, and no direct use of violent language. Legally speaking, it is difficult to define this as a ‘threat.’ We do not have sufficient evidence to take coercive measures against them.”
"All we can do is increase patrols in this area. If they harass you again, you can call the police immediately, and we will arrive as soon as possible to drive them away."
Upon hearing this result, Kato Megumi's heart sank.
What's the point of expulsion?
They were driven away today, but they'll come back tomorrow.
Just then, one of the younger policemen, before leaving, seemed to remember something and turned back to say something to her.
"Um... Ms. Kato, I think I've seen you before. Was your relative's case resolved in the end?"
Kato Megumi nodded.
This police officer was one of the officers involved in the previous arrest operation.
He lowered his voice and subtly reminded him:
“Ms. Kato, some things are beyond the reach of ordinary police officers like us. Since you have such powerful friends, why don’t you try to ask them for help? After all, your friend is a big shot who can influence even judges and police chiefs.”
After saying that, he left with his colleagues.
The police officer's words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly shattering the fog in Kato Megumi's mind.
yes……
Seiji Fujiwara.
He not only has a huge influence, but also owns a very powerful security company.
Kato Megumi was unaware of the details.
But Seiji Fujiwara said that female bodyguards were arranged to follow her in the dark and protect her at all times.
Normally, those three thugs wouldn't even have a chance to get close to him!
But they stood right in front of him and threatened him!
The only explanation is...
All of this was tacitly approved by Seiji Fujiwara.
He deliberately let it go.
why?
Suddenly, several bolts of lightning flashed through Kato Megumi's mind, piercing through the fog.
It dawned on her.
This man, this bastard...
He is waiting.
She was waiting to abandon all her dignity and reserve, just like last time, and take the initiative to ask him for help.
Then, he could then justifiably carry out even more excessive and perverse "development" and "training" of himself.
A wave of helplessness instantly overwhelmed Kato Megumi.
Resist?
She couldn't even defeat those greedy relatives, so how could she possibly fight against an insurance company that was colluding with the Yakuza?
The route to call the police was also blocked.
She was like a butterfly trapped in the center of a spider web, struggling but unable to escape the vast net laid out by Seiji Fujiwara.
After figuring all this out, Kato Megumi calmed down.
She didn't engage in the futile struggle and information gathering that she had done before.
Because she knew it was all in vain.
.
She took out her phone, but instead of making a call, she sent a text message.
Then, she went to Genesis Corporation.
……
……
Genesis Corporation.
Top floor, president's office.
Seiji Fujiwara was leaning against the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city below.
There was a knock on the door, and the secretary led Kato Megumi in.
“Teacher Fujiwara.” Kato Megumi stood in the center of the office, head bowed, her voice calm.
Seiji Fujiwara turned around and looked at her, a hint of surprise on his face, as if taken aback by her arrival: "Oh? It's Megumi. You've come to your senses so quickly?"
His knowing question and his cat-and-mouse-like tone made Kato Megumi even more certain that Fujiwara Seiji was behind it all.
She raised her head, and a hint of resigned resentment appeared in her calm, still eyes.
“I agree,” Kato Megumi said softly. “I agree to everything you mentioned before… the ‘development’.”
"So please get rid of those flies."
"Oh?" Seiji Fujiwara walked slowly up to her and said in surprise, "You've come to your senses so quickly? I thought you would hold on for a few more days."
Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, her tone tinged with helplessness and self-mockery: "Anyway... I'm doomed for you for life. Sooner or later you'll find all sorts of opportunities to do those perverted things."
"Since the outcome is the same anyway, it's better to give up resistance sooner rather than later. At least... it will save you some suffering, right?"
"Hahaha... Hahahaha!"
Hearing her rational yet somewhat resigned reply, Fujiwara Seiji finally couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.
"Smart! Hui, you are the smartest of all the women I've set my sights on!"
He smiled, reached out, and gently pinched her delicate chin, making the girl look up and meet his gaze.
"I enjoy dealing with intelligent people the most."
"Then, as a reward for your 'intelligence'..."
His voice, once again, was filled with a devilish allure.
"The game begins now."
……
……
night.
Kato Megumi fell into a deep sleep in her office room.
Seiji Fujiwara leaned back in his chair.
He held his phone and swiped it gently.
The screen displays the encrypted internal communication interface of [Blue Wing Security].
In the interface, a folder named "Kato Emi Security Project" has just been updated with several pieces of information.
These include:
[Target: Kuroda Ryuji, the junior leader of the Black Dragon Society. His identity and address have been confirmed.]
[Target: The Black Dragon Society's 'Negotiation Department' has been located in the Xicheng District, and a complete list of its peripheral members has been identified.]
[Intelligence: The Black Dragon Society continues to harass the families of other air crash victims through methods including, but not limited to, stalking, intimidation, and property damage.]
"It's definitely time to get rid of these flies."
Seiji Fujiwara murmured to himself as he sent out multiple messages.
[Target: The Black Dragon Society and all its affiliated individuals.]
[Requirements: They must be completely eliminated physically. The most heinous criminals shall be sunk in Tokyo Bay. No prisoners are required.]
[Code of Conduct: Secrecy.]
The moment he clicked "send," he didn't even glance at it before casually tossing his phone onto the table.
To him, it was no different from ordering his secretary to make him a cup of coffee.
……
……
Osaka's Nishinari Ward, Black Dragon Society stronghold.
The place was still a mess, littered with empty bottles, cigarette butts, and leftover lunchboxes.
Ryuji Kuroda and his men were having their "victory celebration."
"Hahaha! You guys didn't see it! This afternoon, that guy surnamed 'Kimura,' I just shouted a few words at his door, and he was so scared he peed his pants! He signed on the spot!" one of the underlings boasted proudly.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Thank you so much to the amazing "Cucumber Sword Saint Ruoye Mu" for the monthly pass!
Chapter 134 The insurance company's director, three out of ten were killed (6/3)
"Our boss is truly amazing!" another underling immediately began to flatter him. "And that Kato Megumi, our actions were all legal and compliant, but as a student, she was definitely afraid and dared not protest."
Upon hearing this, Kuroda Ryuichi felt a surge of irritation, recalling the eerie feeling that had sent chills down his spine during the day.
But he must never show weakness in front of his subordinates.
