Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment

1241 It Turns Out That People Really Die of Stupidity

Ye Feng was not humble either. He would not work for the Fortune Dragon Society for free.

It was only because he did not have any manpower in Japan that he could not manage such a large dock. Therefore, he needed to rely on the power of the Fortune Dragon Society.

In fact, he only wanted a dock that allowed him to freely enter and leave Japan. Everything else was secondary.

After settling the matter here, he immediately sent a message to Arthur and the others, asking them to land on Japan as planned and hide until they were notified.

..

Edo, Yamaguchi-gumi Headquarters.

Vice President Yamamoto Takeshi’s face was dark as he stared at Shimada Ashitai and Takeda Shikake. “You lost the dock and made my Yamaguchi-gumi the joke of the entire Japan once again. How dare you come back?”

Shimada Ashitai and Takeda Shikake knelt on the ground with ashen faces. They were surrounded by men in black and sunglasses, sizing them up with apathetic gazes.

“President, I didn’t ask my brothers to leave. It was Takeda Shikake’s order. If I hadn’t been injured at that time, I would definitely have fought to the death…” Shimada Ashita hurriedly defended himself.

Yamamoto Takeshi did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Takeda Shikake.

“President, I was the one who ordered our brothers to leave the dock. I will bear all the responsibility.” Takeda Shikake looked up at him with determination.

Yamamoto Takeshi picked up the cigar cutter on the table and cut off the cap of a cigar. He then put it in his mouth, but he did not light it immediately. He only glanced at Takeda Shikake.

“Why did you give such an order?”

Facing Yamamoto Takeshi’s question, Takeda Shikake gritted his teeth.

“That Ye Feng’s strength is too strong. He easily crippled over fifty of us. If we continue fighting, our remaining brothers will all die. Therefore, I weighed the pros and cons and felt that there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices…”

Yamamoto Takeshi lit the cigar with a click and lit it up. He took a deep breath and looked at Takeda Shikake through the smoke.

“Then have you ever thought about how much your retreat without a fight will affect the reputation of our Yamaguchi-gumi? Now, the whole of Japan is laughing at us.”

Takeda Shikake’s eyes were filled with determination. “Reputation is not worth mentioning in my eyes.”

“There’s an old saying in China that goes, ‘As long as there’s life, there’s hope.’ As long as they’re still alive, there’s a chance to take back the dock. What’s the use of reputation if he’s already dead?”

“Hahaha…” Yamamoto Takeshi immediately burst into laughter when he heard this.

Takeda Shikake and Shimada Shota didn’t know why he was laughing, but they were both nervous.

Yamamoto Takeshi laughed for a while, and he did not bother with Takeda Shikake anymore. He turned to look at Shimada Ashitai. “Do you know about Ye Feng’s background beforehand?”

Shimada Ashitai’s body suddenly trembled. He really wanted to lie, but when he met his gaze, he could not say the lie he had thought of. “Takeda told me… He said that the people of the Yamata division were completely wiped out by him…”

Yamamoto Takeshi held a cigar in his mouth and looked at him expressionlessly. “Since you know that kid’s strength, why do you still continue to provoke him?”

Shimada Ashita’s body trembled non-stop. “I… I just want to get rid of the enemy for the gang and avenge my brothers from the Yamata division…”

Bang!

Before he could finish, Yamamoto Takeshi slammed the table like an angry lion. “Hmph, for the gang? I think you’re doing this for yourself, right?”

Shimada Ashita’s thoughts were exposed by the other party and he could only grit his teeth. “That’s right, I also want to make contributions and get your recognition. I just didn’t expect that kid to be so powerful…”

Yamamoto Takeshi sneered. “You’re willing to sacrifice so many lives just to make a contribution?”

Shimada Ashitai lowered his head in fear, not daring to speak again.

Yamamoto Takeshi slowly leaned back on the sofa, his gaze shifting between the two of them. “One of you must die today. You two discuss who will step forward and take responsibility for this incident.”

Shimada Ashita’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly explained, “I… I’ve made so many contributions to the gang. I’m just greedy this time. I beg the president to let me off.”

Yamamoto Takeshi did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he looked at Takeda Shikake.

Although Takeda Shikake’s expression was also very ugly, but he still gritted his teeth. “I was ordered to supervise the work at the dock. It’s indeed my fault for not doing my job this time.”

“I’m willing to take responsibility for this incident and accept any punishment.”

Yamamoto Takeshi finally smiled and gave a look to a man in black behind the two of them.

The samurai sword in the man’s hand was suddenly unsheathed. The next second, the tip of the sword pierced through Shimada Ashitai’s chest.

“Wh… Why? I… I’ve done so much for the gang… Why me…”

Shimada Ashita’s face was filled with disbelief.

“You’ve indeed made a lot of contributions, but the gang has never mistreated you. And for the sake of meritorious service, you know that the opponent is difficult to defeat, but you still sacrificed so many people in vain. Then you deserve to die ten thousand times!” Yamamoto Takeshi revealed a vicious expression.

Swoosh!

Shimada Ashitai’s body fell to the ground with a loud thud as he drew his katana. His face was still filled with unwillingness, regret, and hatred…

Kneeling beside him, Takeda Shikake’s lips curled into an imperceptible smile.

What an idiot. He only knew how to fight and kill every day, but he didn’t understand the president’s temperament at all.

The president hated people who didn’t take responsibility the most, followed by people who took credit for themselves. This idiot had violated both taboos.

From the moment this guy started to shirk responsibility, this was already destined.

However, he had taken the responsibility as soon as he came up. In the president’s opinion, this was a display of responsibility.

Secondly, if he showed a fearless attitude, the president would think even more highly of him.

Comparing the two, there was no need to say which one should be killed and which one should be left alive.

Hehe, so people really could die from their own stupidity.

Shimada Ashitai was dead. Thick blood flowed all over the ground, but everyone in the room still had the same expression as before, as if they had not seen it.

Yamamoto Takeshi then turned to look at Takeda Shikake. “You’ll be in charge of his subordinates in the future. Work hard, I have high hopes for you.”

Takeda Shikake was instantly flattered. He did not expect that not only was he not punished, but he had also benefited from this disaster.

However, he quickly calmed down. Now was not the time to get carried away. Since he had received support, he had to immediately express his loyalty to the president.

At the thought of this, he hurriedly looked up at Yamamoto Takeshi. “President, I’m a guilty person. I don’t deserve it.”

“As long as the president gives the order, I’m willing to charge back to the dock. At most, I’ll fight it out with that Chinese person.”

Yamamoto Takeshi’s expression of admiration became even more pronounced. In the end, he shook his head. “No need. We don’t want that dock anymore.”
