Murakami Takuto looked at Jie, who was wearing a knitted hood.
Mustering his courage, he got up from the ground and coldly questioned the robber.
"Who are you? Do you even know what you're doing?!"
"You think you can escape after attacking the Treasury building with a gun?!"
Seeing that his legs were trembling with fear, yet he was trying to put on a tough act, Jie chuckled and teased him.
"Minister Murakami, it's precisely because I can't escape,"
Shouldn't you be more afraid?
"After all, I'm not planning to run away, which means I'm here to take your lives, right?"
As soon as Jie finished speaking, the patriarchs of the chaebol families and chairmen of the corporations present were immediately displeased.
They have enough money to last several lifetimes to spend it all.
The robbers who stormed in, however, weren't after their money; they wanted their lives.
Do you think they'd be happy about this?
"Sir, please calm down, please calm down!"
"Under normal circumstances, the people who attacked the Treasury building would definitely not escape, but don't you still have us at your disposal!"
"Yes, yes, sir,"
"Not only can we arrange for you and your brother to leave safely, we can also give you lots and lots of money!"
"You and your brothers risked your lives for these things!"
After persuading the robber, this group immediately turned to Murakami Takuto to try and calm him down.
“Mr. Minister,”
"Say something!"
"This gentleman is still waiting!"
Murakami Takuto looked at the anxious expressions on the faces of Musashi, Miyamoto, and other zaibatsu heads.
Even if he was unwilling, he had to bow his head for the sake of future cooperation.
"I, Murakami Takuto, swear to Amaterasu that as long as you do not harm us, what happened here today will never be known!"
When Musashi and Miyamoto, the heads of these powerful financial families, heard Murakami Takuto say this, half of their worries instantly disappeared.
"This gentleman,"
"As you can see, Minister Murakami swore an oath to Amaterasu that as long as you don't harm us, you and your brothers will definitely leave safely!"
After Musashi finished speaking, the leader of the robbers still didn't make a move, so Miyamoto immediately chimed in.
"Look, we got so excited that we forgot the most important thing!"
"Brothers, how much money do you want? Name your price!"
“We’ll have someone send it over right away,”
Seeing that Jie still remained silent, Miyamoto spoke again.
"One hundred million! US dollars!"
"How about it!"
"Sir, it's not that we're offering a total of one hundred million US dollars,"
"Instead, all of us here should contribute one hundred million US dollars!"
"That adds up to 1.8 billion!"
Seeing the expectation on Miyamoto's face, Jie chuckled.
"I could have taken all your wealth, so why did I only ask for a paltry 100 million!"
Upon hearing this, the expectant expression on Miyamoto's face vanished instantly, and he frowned, saying with a hint of seriousness,
"Sir, what do you mean by this...?"
"What I mean is, you can call home and see what the situation is like there!"
Upon hearing this, Miyamoto's expression instantly turned cold.
"If anything happens to my family, I guarantee none of you will leave Dongjin alive!"
After issuing the warning, Miyamoto immediately picked up the phone on the table and called his family in Hokkaido.
Beep beep beep.....
The call, which should have been answered immediately upon connection, rang several times without being answered this time.
As time goes on...
Miyamoto's expression grew increasingly anxious...
Finally, at the eighth second, Miyamoto could no longer hold back and roared out in anger.
"Answer the phone!!!!!"
Perhaps the person on the other end of the line heard Miyamoto's roar, because the call was answered at the last second before it was hung up.
Before the person on the other end of the phone could speak, Miyamoto hurriedly asked,
"What happened at home? Why were you so slow to answer the phone...?"
Before he could finish speaking, a strange voice he had never heard before came from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Miyamoto, my captain asked me to ask you a question,"
"He said he wanted all your wealth, have you thought it through?"
"If you haven't thought this through, you'll be all alone!"
The voice was loud enough that everyone in the office heard it.
"Who are you!"
"How are my family members?"
"If you dare to harm my family, I, Miyamoto, swear to Amaterasu that I will make you pay!"
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone let out a contemptuous laugh and then spoke.
"Bring his wife and children here!"
Upon hearing this, Miyamoto's heart leaped into his throat.
"Honey, who have you offended?"
"These people, armed with guns, stormed into homes and killed anyone they saw without any regard for right or wrong."
"My father-in-law was beaten to death with a gun butt because he refused to reveal the password to the vault... Now they're forcing my mother-in-law to tell the secret..."
Before Miyamoto could finish listening, he roared in anger, and then a cry came from the other end of the phone.
"Don't hit my mom..."
Hearing his youngest son's cries, Miyamoto's eyes filled with rage as he looked at Zai.
"Baka yarou...."
Before he could finish speaking, the teammate behind him, holding an AK, struck him on the kidney with the butt of his rifle.
He collapsed to the ground after being struck hard, but just like that,
