Chapter 423: Dead Man Steals an Account
In Yamaguchi Village, most members were spread along the village's edge.
They were mainly the True Wolf Level, completely abandoned, yet unaware.
Of course, they weren't fools either.
How could they, of all people, stop the army? How to stop Tai Sui?
Defending Yamaguchi Village to the death was impossible; the higher ranks, the Elephant Level and Tiger Level, were sensible enough not to mention it.
They simply tasked them with guarding the entrances and exits, not letting those inside the village leave.
As for what to do when Tai Sui arrived, it wasn't mentioned at all; they were told to handle it as they saw fit.
That made it easy; when Tai Sui came, they'd simply surrender upon sight.
Being at the village entrance, they could welcome them at the first opportunity.
So the so-called abandonment was actually mutual.
The lower-level Yakuza members and the upper and middle levels maintained a silent understanding.
The lower-level henchmen would help execute the final task, and the upper levels would escape—each seeking their own survival.
However, these lower-level henchmen never expected that the higher-ups were even more ruthless than they imagined.
Once Tai Sui's people took over them, and Yamaguchi Village, they would detonate a nuclear bomb.
Countless would be obliterated into ash.
Sure, if Tai Sui showed up it would be great—blow him up.
Even if he didn't, blowing up some of Tai Sui's subordinates was fine; the goal was to destroy Yamaguchi Village.
As for how many ordinary people, how many lower-level Radiation, or even their own people would die—did they care?
"Heh, they're pretty ruthless."
Gao Xin had already probed into everything, enhancing his foresight of the future, allowing him to see further ahead.
The more he understood the past, the more he knew the present, the further into the future he could see.
"Why isn't the Tai Sui army coming yet?"
"What does it mean for them to stop outside? Yamaguchi Village is surrounded, yet they're not attacking."
"I have a bad feeling. If they're not coming, should we go out to meet them?"
"But isn't rushing out like this risky? What if we're mistaken and get killed?"
"Yeah, I've heard Tai Sui hates the Yakuza."
"But if we stay here, and we're seen as resisting to the end, what if they come at us and wipe us out?"
Gao Xin silently infiltrated, hearing the unease among the people here.
The Yakuza henchmen were all discussing surrender.
Suddenly, a figure appeared suddenly.
Suzuki Shougen opened a watchtower door and walked out: "Boys!"
"Captain Suzuki?"
"Hiss, did someone eavesdrop on our plan to surrender?"
"Damn it, run quickly!"
The group of henchmen jumped in fright, some worried about being killed, immediately knelt down.
While others, too scared to even kneel, turned and ran, frantically rushing towards the Tai Sui army's position outside the village.
"Tai Sui army, we surrender, we surrender, don't kill us."
More and more people rushed out of the village, fearing they'd miss the chance.
Suzuki's appearance instead pushed them to make their decision, thinking he was here to supervise them.
"Don't panic, don't run around, I came to surrender with you."
Suzuki hadn't expected this and quickly tried to stop them.
But it was too late, it was like the floodgates had opened with someone leading the charge towards the Tai Sui army, with countless following blindly, rushing out.
This chaos lasted for a long time.
Suzuki gathered a group of more obedient henchmen, opened the gates, and notified everywhere, evacuating the hidden villagers, urging them to leave quickly and surrender together.
And unexpectedly, it actually went on for some time.
But good times didn't last long.
"Boom!"
A bright light suddenly erupted at the center, a scorching heat shockwave swept all directions.
Countless were vaporized, torn apart, blown away.
Of course, Gao Xin was fine; at this distance, the nuclear explosion had almost no effect on him, immediately leaping to block.
"Tch..."
Gao Xin opened his eyes, another failure; although this time he didn't die in the nuclear explosion rehearsal, Yamaguchi Village was still devastated.
Even if Suzuki Shougen could restrain some Yakuza, it was useless.
Because appearing suddenly at such a time would cause chaos.
At first, some people could indeed be rescued, but Viper was clearly monitoring the village entrance in some way, or judging based on loss of contact.
Even if on the surface no one from the Tai Sui army came in, as long as those outside changed course and all lost contact.
Viper would also assume Tai Sui had already infiltrated, the situation was lost, could appear suddenly at any moment, and to prevent capture, could only withdraw immediately, then detonate the nuclear bomb.
"Hmph, the Yakuza's upper and lower levels have already split... everybody assumes they're abandoned."
"Figures like Yoshio and Suzuki are no longer useful, instead being seen as strongmen sent down to push them to the brink."
"Viper doesn't even hope to blow me up; even if not a single Tai Sui soldier dies, it doesn't matter, his minimum goal is to destroy resources so I can't get them."
Gao Xin shook his head, it seemed unsolvable.
The opponent was like a frightened rabbit, retreating into their burrow and detonating the nuclear bomb at the slightest threat.
So he didn't unleash Suzuki, but kept moving deeper.
Finally, within one thousand meters of the Silver Tower, Yamaguchi Yoshio was suddenly created, descending from the sky in front of the Silver Tower, behind the Yakuza's higher-ups.
"What's going on here?"
Yamaguchi Yoshio crossed his arms, overlooking Black Mamba and other Elephant Levels.
Black Mamba was startled, turned to see Yamaguchi Yoshio, face changing drastically.
"Pr...President, you've emerged from seclusion?"
"Hmph!"
Yamaguchi Yoshio felt insecure; he knew they weren't afraid of him, or rather, what they feared was the Yamaguchi Yoshio who had undergone Dragon Transformation.
But he was clear at heart, it was Fujihara Tomohiro; how did Yoshio have his strength and cunning?
At this moment, Yoshio intentionally put on a displeased expression, questioning: "I just won the True Dragon game, and see you lot in chaos."
