Chapter 359 - At The Peak of Tokyo (2/2)
What kind of event could have brought all the prominent groups in the underground world together?
What Takanori saw next shocked him to the core.
He watched as these leaders came up to a Mercedes-Benz S-series and the leader of the Seiwakai—who Takanori knew personally—opened up the door with great respect and held it for a gorgeous woman in a white outfit to get out of the car. The woman’s face was cold, severe but extremely attractive. She pulled her hair back in a ponytail and was carrying an Uchigatana.
The bosses of the underground bowed to the woman in white with great respect.
“How… how is that possible?” Takanori Suke gaped at the development in disbelief.
Takanori Suke knew these bosses as powerful tyc.o.o.ns who lorded over their group’s territory. Not even the high profile bureaucrats dared to cross them. Who could have made them bow as a subject would to their master?
Could it be the owners of the mega-corps, or, the so-called Zaibatsu, was here?
What happened next completely changed Takanori Suke’s perspective on the world he lived in.
He saw the woman in white get out of the car, and stand by the entrance instead of getting into the park. She was waiting for someone. Soon, another slew of luxury cars pulled over and powerful magnates emerged from the cars.
“The CEO of Sony, Toyota, Mitsui Group, Head of the Peace Current Judo, Vice President of Sumitomo, Deputy Mayor of Tokyo and many parliament representatives.”
The name of powerful men and women come out of Takanori Suke’s mouth one after another.
Ai Jinqi had heard of some of the names, but not all of them. She knew Sony and Toyota like all the other Chinese people. This tyc.o.o.n walked over to the entrance, and just like their underground world counterparts, they stood by the gate and waited.
They waited patiently from the afternoon till dusk.
As more and more prominent figures showed up, the entrance became crowded. Tourists were pushed off the road and were forced to stand on the road’s shoulders and ditches. However, none of them wanted to leave. They wanted to find out what was going on.
It was evident that these men and women were waiting for someone even more influential and powerful than them. It made sense to the crowd now why the police forces had closed the tower today.
“I bet it is the prime minister himself, or someone as powerful as him.” Someone guessed.
“Not likely. Didn’t you see the manager from Mitsui Group? I say its a leader from the western countries.” Another person put in.
Everyone put in their two cents. Despite hunger and thirst, they were determined to find out the answer.
“Sister Xu, do you think it’s someone from China?” Ai Jinqi asked.
Before Sister Xu could say anything, Takanori Suke snorted and said: “The leader of the Mitsui Group is highly respected even in the j.a.panese parliament. No Chinese person is worth his time. ”
Ai Jinqi was miffed by the rude remark, but she didn’t act up.
China was already on the verge of surpa.s.sing j.a.pan in terms of economic power, but most j.a.panese people still held deep prejudice against the Chinese. Sister Xu looked embarra.s.sed by her husband’s remark, but the embarra.s.sment quickly turned into a helpless resentment. She had to deal with her husband’s bias every day.
As the night fell and the lights on the Tokyo Tower lit up, many onlookers finally lost their patience and were about to leave. Suddenly, they saw a young man in a black outfit walking with a purple-haired female toward the entrance. The woman was taken aback by the crowd already gathered at the Tokyo Tower, but the young man didn’t much care.
A security guard in a black suit came up to them and was going to stop them.
Many others smiled gloatingly: “He is courting death. What makes him think that he could walk on the road occupied by these tyc.o.o.ns?”
Ai Jinqi and Ren Hao were stunned when they recognized the young man. He was Chen Beixuan who they met on the plane.
“It’s my lucky day!” Ai Jinqi waved her hand, gesturing Chen Fan to get off the road.
Suddenly, she saw the woman in a white outfit come up to Chen Fan and bowed.
“Mr. Chen Beixuan, we have been waiting for you.”
Mitsui Yuto, Ito Imi, Yamamizuki Sho and many other j.a.panese Grandmasters, along with the bosses of mega-corporations and all of their cohorts bowed deeply at Chen Fan.
Before them, a few hundred guards wearing black suit also bowed in unison.
A deadly silence fell over the park. Ai Jinqi rounded here eyes, mouth gaped in disbelief as her hand froze in the air.
“What the heck?”
