"Young Miss, we just received news from Tokyo that the sacred toilet in Shizuku has been bombed," Aze replied solemnly.

But for some reason, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air from his chest, feeling exceptionally relieved.

"What?" Yamada Tomoko exclaimed in surprise, then immediately thought of Lin Dong. "Could it be... Boss Lin did it?"

Aze nodded: "I think so too. Who else but him would dare to do such a thing?!"

Long Si stroked his short buzz cut and exclaimed, "Boss Lin is awesome!!"

"The outside world will soon become even more chaotic."

Tomoko Yamada frowned even more deeply:

"The ceremony is about to begin, why hasn't the boss returned yet?"

Yamada Tomoko wasn't worried about Lin Dong's safety; with his abilities, few people could harm him.

However, such an important ceremony felt incomplete without Lin Dong's witness.

"Long Si, keep a close eye on things at the door, don't let anyone cause any trouble," Aze instructed.

Long Si patted the Scorpion submachine gun at his waist and said smugly, "Don't worry, boss, the brothers are all well-equipped, no one dares to mess around!"

Aze waved his hand: "Don't be careless, go!"

Long Si accepted the order and left, secretly moving a small number of guards hidden in the inner courtyard to the main gate.

At a street corner 300 meters from the Kobe garden, more than 40 special riot control vehicles were parked on the side of the road, ready for action.

The special police and riot police sitting in the car looked tense, constantly monitoring the situation in the courtyard.

As soon as they receive an order, they will be fully armed and completely surround the courtyard.

...................................

“Young Miss, the auspicious time has arrived, the ceremony may begin,” Aze reminded her, glancing at his watch.

Tomoko Yamada looked towards the gate, but the figure she was hoping for did not appear.

She sighed softly and turned to look at the ebony armchair at the very front of the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness.

On the dark, heavy chair back, two black, coiled dragons are carved. In the center of the dragons is a rhomboid relief with a vertical line running down its center, which from a distance looks remarkably like a strange, vertical eye...

This is the unique emblem of the Yakuza group.

This black sandalwood chair has been passed down from Yamada Harukichi, the first leader of the gang, to the present day.

Today, whoever can firmly sit in this position means that they have taken the top spot in the island nation's largest yakuza gang.

With 30,000 followers under his command, the newly appointed fifth-generation leader is the most respected.

"The auspicious time has arrived. Please, Fifth Generation Leader, take your seat!"

A man dressed in a black kimono and wearing a white Noh mask chanted loudly.

The hundred high-ranking members of various gangs seated in the hall immediately fell silent, and hundreds of pairs of eyes turned to the ebony armchair.

Tomoko Yamada took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and walked step by step toward the black chair.

Aze's wary gaze swept around the hall, finally lingering for a moment on the first two rows at the very front.

In the front seats sat Tomoko's father, the retired fourth-generation head of the Yamada-gumi, Makoto Yamada.

There was also Yamada Takahito, who was originally the first in line to succeed.

The remaining dozen or so people were all high-ranking members of the Sankou Group and leaders of various branches.

Aze's gaze lingered for a moment on a tall, thin, handsome man on his right, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, before he looked away.

He recognized the man; he was Fu Yishen, the newly appointed leader of the Bamboo Gang on Taiwan Island.

Aze found it strange; he clearly remembered that the Bamboo Clan was not invited to the Fifth Generation's enthronement ceremony.

But why would Fu Yishen suddenly appear here?

Aze frowned and glanced at Yamada Takahito, who was sitting in the center.

The man's expression grew even more somber as his sister approached the ebony chair.

"A single lamp illuminates a corner, a chivalrous act is put into practice!"

"We respectfully invite Tomoko Yamada, the newly appointed fifth-generation leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, to sit in the Black Dragon Divine Eye Chair."

"May you take your seats and your affairs prosper!"

The Noh masked man sings again.

Tomoko Yamada, dressed in a simple black outfit, had already walked up to the ebony chair.

She stretched out her slender right hand and gently stroked the dragon pattern on the back of the wooden chair, her heart pounding with emotion, her high breasts heaving.

Take a deep breath, turn around, and sit down.

Her sharp, knife-like gaze swept over the hundreds of faces below.

Suddenly, her gaze sharpened as she spotted Lin Dong sitting in the last row of chairs with delight.

The master is back!

He wasn't lying to me after all. He personally witnessed history for me during one of the most important moments of my life!

Tomoko Yamada's nose tingled, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled...

"Tomoko Yamada, the fifth generation head of the Yamaguchi-gumi, is enthroned today. The Black Dragon God witnesses this glorious moment and shares in the glory with all!"

"Everyone, please stand up and celebrate together."

The masked man sang loudly, his arms outstretched, giving him the air of a eunuch on the throne as emperor ascended the throne.

The guests in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness all stood up, including the more than twenty senior members of the Sankou Group in the first and second rows.

"We congratulate Ms. Yamada Tomoko on her ascension to the position of the fifth-generation leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi!"

The guests bowed and shouted in unison.

The person sitting on the black dragon throne has gained the recognition of his fellow martial arts practitioners in the island nation.

Next came the blood oath ceremony held in the inner courtyard, where people worshipped their ancestors, burned incense, and bathed and changed clothes.

Then, each of the top executives of the Yamaguchi-gumi paid their respects to the new leader, and only then was the tedious ceremony complete.

However, guests from outside the main community do not need to participate in the inner court's proceedings.

After the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness is established, they will remain here to await a sumptuous banquet.
