CHAPTER 1843 AGGRESSION

"Hahaha! Excellent!" Kumada laughed loudly.

This was as good as a gift from the Prince himself.

Kumada had been keeping a close watch on Sugita, as well as the Prince. He heard the Prince sent men to the shrine, and knew that Sugita would definitely make a choice today.

But it was too bad that the Prince didn't understand Sugita at all. He didn't understand this man and he thought that threatening him would work?

If threatening Sugita worked, then Kumada would have used this tactic long ago.

Sugita was a character who didn't like to be part of others' power struggle, so it was best to respect that opinion of his.

And now, Sugita was on his side.

"I have always treated you with much respect, Mr Sugita," said Kumada. "You have been in charge of the shrine for so many years and you have contributed greatly to the reputation of the Yamaguchi Syndicate such that the public accepts us, understand us and even supports us. This isn't something that any ordinary person can achieve.”

He sighed and spoke with such admiration in his voice.

"That's part of my job, so I ought to do my best," said Sugita. "I believe the Yamaguchi Syndicate will see better days under the leadership of the Chief."

"If you need me to do anything, I will definitely do my best to help."

"Excellent! Excellent!" Kumada refilled Sugita's cup. "I've just been waiting to hear you say these words.”

The two of them toasted each other again and Kumada was now in an excellent mood.

With Sugita on his side, he had control over the people, so it would be easy for him to get rid of the Prince now.

After all, the opinion and story that the people heard would be entirely within Sugita's control.

"By the way, Mr Sugita, what do you think about the Salo family?"

"Are you talking about that woman?" Sugita asked in return.

"That's right. That woman is very special and is pretty useful, but that's not all to her."

"You can decide on such matters. I'm just a boor and I don't know such things," laughed Sugita. "I'm sure you know that I believe that women are trouble."

Kumada burst out laughing.

Sugita was really that sort of person.

He was never interested in women and nobody had ever heard Sugita being in a relationship with one before.

He never went to the brothels and just stayed in the shrine to keep his cats and fish, as well as do some gardening.

To most men, this man was very boring. But Kumada knew that such men were extremely difficult to control.

"Chief, I have other things to attend to, so I shall take my leave first. I've come here just to get three cups of tea from you." Sugita bowed low and was very respectful.

"I got it," said Kumada. "You're one of mine, so I won't let the Prince be rude to you, don't worry."

"Yes, Chief." Sugita didn't say anything else and got up to leave.

Kumada poured himself a cup of tea and narrowed his eyes. But he didn't hide the joy in his eyes.

It was a good thing to be in control of the main shrine of the syndicate.

But he wasn't so sure if he could actually control Sugita.

This was a man with no desires. Would he be afraid to die?

No, Sugita wouldn't be afraid to die. The last time the syndicate was in utter chaos, Sugita nearly died and Kumada knew about that. This man had gone through a near death experience, so he wouldn't be afraid.

But he was afraid of trouble. He was afraid that others would trouble him or that he would trouble others.

"He's a really interesting one." Kumada put down his teacup and rapped gently on his table. A black fog appeared behind him and a few men walked out from the fog.

"How's the situation on the Prince's side?"

"Someone went into the Prince's residence and he is a highly skilled fighter. I'm afraid it might affect the plan."

"A highly skilled fighter? Do you know who he is?"This belongs to - ©.

Kumada frowned.

No wonder Sugita came looking for him. A highly skilled fighter had appeared on the Prince's side?

"He should be a Chinese martial artist from China, and he is pretty formidable, so the Prince's men weren't able to deal with him at all. Chief, please don't go out for the time being, we'll protect you here."

Even his best bodyguards were so afraid of him?
