Upon hearing this, Murakami Takuto's expression instantly turned serious.

How true is this statement?

Looking at the serious expression on Murakami Takuto's face, Inoue Kumaji thought to himself, "He's taken the bait."

But at the same time, my heart was also filled with confusion.

He didn't understand why Gao Ren wanted him to tell Finance Minister Murakami Takuto such an important matter.

After all, if Finance Minister Takuto Murakami were to find out about such crucial information, wouldn't that be creating trouble for him to reap the benefits of Japan's economy?

"minister,"

"I'm 95% sure this story is true!"

"reason!"

Seeing Murakami Takuto's seriousness, Inoue Kumaji spoke again.

"Minister, you should know that Gao Ren has been assassinated several times in Dongjin these past few days!"

"Yes, it was exposed three times. As for those that weren't exposed, I'm not too sure..."

Having received this answer, Inoue Kumaji then spoke.

"Minister, you're right, it's only been exposed three times,"

"But one time, which wasn't revealed, it almost cost Gao Ren his life!"

Upon hearing this, Murakami Takuto became even more interested.

"Oh, tell me about it!"

"After Gao Ren's first assassination attempt, Cook sent an additional battalion to protect Gao Ren's safety,"

"What outsiders don't know is that Lieutenant Steven, who was sent here, is actually William, the current head of the Rothschild family, the number one financial family in the United States!"

After listening to Inoue Kumaji's description, Murakami Takuto immediately fell into deep thought...

If this is true,

This provides a reasonable explanation for why Gao Ren didn't get angry during the previous two assassination attempts.

Gao Rentai wanted to capitalize on Cook's name to gain a share of the benefits from the US's suppression.

But after the third large-scale assassination attempt, Gao Ren realized one thing.

That means Cook never intended to cooperate with him.

Given Cook's status in Japan and the military he commands, without his tacit approval...

William simply couldn't organize such a large-scale assassination!

"Mr. Inoue, your information is very useful!"

"I appreciate your kindness. I will step in and help you resolve your troubles with Mr. Oda!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Minister!"

Murakami Takuto looked at Inoue Kumaji, who bowed again to thank him, nodded to indicate that it was nothing, and then said...

"You didn't tell anyone about this, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Inoue Kumaji's mind raced, and a possible idea popped into his head.

Mr. Gao asked him to tell Murakami Takuto this news.

Could it be that Murakami Takuto is using this opportunity to gather all the heads of Japan's major conglomerates and company chairmen for a meeting?

He and his men, armed with guns, tied them all up, and then... let's have a massive freebie sale...

The idea had barely entered Inoue Kumaji's mind when he was startled by its audacity.

Gao Ren probably doesn't have that kind of guts....

After all, doing this might cost Gao Ren his general title.

After all, people in the north also have a sense of shame.

Gao Ren, with the general title they awarded him, openly kidnapped and extorted money from people's homes... How can the North protect itself like this!

"Minister, please rest assured,"

“Mr. Oda and I are both sensible people, and we know that this matter concerns the development of the entire Japanese Empire,”

"That's why I'll inform you, Minister, only after confirming the authenticity of this matter!"

Just as Murakami Takuto was silently pondering how to handle this thorny issue, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in,"

As soon as Murakami Takuto finished speaking, his secretary walked in.

"minister,"

"A man claiming to be Mark, one of Mr. William's subordinates, requests an audience!"

"He also asked me to pass this on to you, Minister!"

Looking at the Rothschild family guard badge handed to him by his secretary, Murakami Takuto felt 90% certain that the information Inoue Kumaji had just given him was true.

Otherwise, why would Inoue Kumaji have only just arrived here?

Mark, who never shows his face and has been hiding in Dongjin for so long, suddenly took the initiative to come looking for me!

"Please let him in!"

When Mark, dressed in a bespoke suit, was led in by his secretary, as they passed Inoue Kumaji and Oda Takeo...

He left the two with a mysterious smile.

"Minister Murakami, I have a collaboration I'd like to discuss with you privately, so..."

Murakami Takuto watched as Mark treated his place like his own turf, immediately kicking everyone out.

If it weren't for his fear of his master William's influence in Japan,

Murakami Takuto was determined to get this foreign devil out.

"Take Mr. Inoue and Mr. Oda to the lounge first!"

"Hi!"

After the secretary led Inoue Kumaji and the other man away, Murakami Takuto looked at Mark sitting on the sofa and asked with a smile.

"Mr. Mark, coffee or tea?"

"coffee!"

Two minutes later, Murakami Takuto placed a cup of coffee in front of Mark and asked,

"Mr. Mark, Mr. William, please contact me if you have any collaboration needs!"

Mark realized that Murakami Takuto, that little devil, didn't take him seriously; even though he was sitting there, Murakami skipped over him and spoke directly to William.

But he wasn't angry.

After all, he was a member of the noble Rothschild family. Wouldn't it be an insult to his noble status to get angry with a lowly commoner?
