Major League System - Chapter 538

Chapter 538: Lead (2)
Minoru stood up from his chair, for the first time in a while, gaining everyone’s attention before even saying a word.

“There’s a possibility that the place will be filled with Hokori family lackey’s if its where they’re being held. Even if we manage to infiltrate the building as security, we still might meet some resistance.” He said wisely.

“So what? Ya wanna give up on em’?” Tetsu replied, his expression stern.

Minoru shook his head, “At most there should only be 2 security guards to lower suspicion. Which means we’ll need to use people who can fight…”

“Shin, Tetsu. You will replace the security guards and infiltrate the Suzuki Corporation building.”

“Yes boss.” Shin answered, bowing his head slightly in affirmation.

“Good.” Tetsu replied, cracking his knuckles.

“But Boss… That guy isn’t even part of the family, why are you sending him?” Tomoya argued, doing his best to remain respectful. It was clear that he had trouble leaving the fate of his son to a man like Tetsu.

Minoru shook his head once more, “You’ve shown me that you are not calm enough to execute this plan effectively, there’s too much at stake to take such a risk.”

“I’m the better fighter anyways.” Tetsu added, throwing Tomoya a fierce glance.

Tomoya was in no position to argue either of the points raised. However, that didn’t make him feel any better about the situation.

“Naoki, send your men to stake out the place. Try and figure out the patrol pattern of those guys, we’ll strike in 2 hours.” Minoru said simply.

“Yes boss.”

With that, Naoki left the room to make arrangements, leaving everybody else in the back room.

“Ya still got my knuckle dusters?” Tetsu asked his friend, a small grin forming on his face.

“Mmm, they’re here somewhere.”

Meanwhile, Daichi approached his father to be filled in on what was going on. He had come to the place late, so he was missing out on what had happened so far.

Both he and Miho were shocked that things had gotten to such a state. How did they get dragged into a turf war between to gangster families?

Daichi was especially affected, knowing that his existence was the main cause why Ken was captured. This in addition to his mother being murdered and his father losing all job prospects were like daggers that poked into his heart.

Chris seemed to notice the expression on his son’s face and placed a heavy hand on his shoulder.

“Look at me Daichi… None of this is your fault.” He said, his tone unwavering.

However, Daichi had trouble lifting his head, his thoughts only of despair and guilt.

“He’s right Daichi. That supposed Uncle of yours is just a sick son of a bitch.” Miho said plainly, her anger evident.

“Mmm…”

Soon enough, the 2 hours had come to an end. The atmosphere within the room had been tense, mainly because of Tomoya pacing back and forth.

Upon seeing Naoki walk back in, everyone turned their attention to him.

“Alright, we’re good to go.” He said.

Tetsu let out a low chuckle, bringing his fists together.

“Mmm good. Shin, Tetsu, you’ll infiltrate the building as security guards and try and locate the two boys. Set the guards radio to our frequency and give updates, we won’t respond until you say the word.”

Minoru reiterated what they’d already been discussing earlier, receiving words of affirmation from the two.

“As we discussed, Naoki and Tomoya will be nearby in one of our vans. If all goes to hell, we’ll rush in and assist you. But only as a last resort.”

With that, everyone seemed to know what their role was and began to filter out of the back room. Chris turned to Daichi and Miho and instructed them to stay here, along with Ai.

They would be safe since the place was still well guarded by the Tokuzo family lackeys.

“Be safe dad…” Daichi said, hugging him tightly. He tried his best to seem okay on the outside, but inwardly he was full of anxiety.

The thought of staying safe in this place while his father and everyone risked their lives made him feel sick. But he was left with no choice in the matter.

“Mmm. Look after Ai and Miho, I’ll bring back your brother, don’t you worry.”

With that, he followed behind the others who had already left.

The streets came alive as tens of people came out of the bar and entered their cars. Even at a glance, people knew not to mess with these people, unless they wanted trouble.

Just Tetsu alone in his black tank top was enough of a deterrence. His large arms and brass knuckles gave him an air of danger.

They then drove for around 20 minutes into the business district of Tokyo. Despite it being around 1am in the morning, there were still quite a few people walking on the streets.

When they came to the end of the road, the other cars went in separate directions, so as not to cause a scene. The only vehicle that turned was the van which had Chris, Tetsu, Tsukasa, Naoki, Shin and Tomoya inside.

As they pulled up, Naoki pointed out the tinted window.

“Shin, Tetsu. The security guards should be arriving in that spot in about 5 minutes. As long as you can take them by surprise, you should easily be able to take their gear and go in.” He said.

“Mmm, seems easy enough.” Shin replied, nodding.

They were about to exit the van before Tetsu felt a hand on his shoulder.

He was about to react, but then heard Chris’s voice in his ear.

“Please find my son…” He said, sounding vulnerable.

This was the first time that he’d allowed himself to appear vulnerable ever since arriving in Tokyo. Surrounded by gangsters, he felt like he had to be strong the entire time.

Only now when requesting this from Tetsu did Chris let his guard down slightly.

“Mmm, don’t worry. I won’t let my daughter grieve any man.” He said, stepping out of the van in the next moment.
