As one internet joke goes, perpetrators in robberies don't need to count their loot on the spot; they can just watch the news the next day. So, after Tsuruta Tsuna succeeded in his "decapitation operation," he didn't even have time to count the bodies before retreating, leaving the messy scene to the Kobe Police Department.
Although last night's battle was a great success, almost laying the foundation for the Inari Society's great undertaking for the next twenty years, it was not without losses. During the retreat, someone had to cover the rear, or rather, be sent to their death. Of the 300 men who went with Tsuruta Tsuna, less than half returned, but Duanmu Ci did not see any trace of sorrow on Tsuruta Tsuna's face.
"Duanmu-kun, I have to thank you for all of this!" Tsuruta Tsuna said with a big smile as he looked at the news on the TV across from him.
Leaving aside the death toll reported in the news, as that's not very interesting, the identities of the deceased are truly remarkable! From Yagyu Takuya down, a total of 29 Yamahi-gumi bosses disappeared in this battle, a truly fruitful outcome, even exceeding Tsuruta Tsuna's expectations.
"In that case, we'll take our leave." Duanmu Ci and Wei Yue bowed slightly and then left the hotel.
They left calmly, as if the fire that illuminated Japan's dark night sky the previous night had nothing to do with them; they were just passing through.
Tsuruta Tsuna and all the members of the Inajokai bowed to see them off until their figures disappeared through the door. Only then did they slowly stand up and begin to prepare to return to the Tokyo headquarters to do what they needed to do.

"The Shanri Group has suffered a heavy blow this time. The others are too busy seeking revenge and vying for positions to have time to cause me any trouble," Duanmu Ci said, sitting in a teahouse. "I guess I've come here to do something worthwhile."
He sipped his tea, making a heated and dramatic event sound as if it were just a serious matter, like white-collar workers going on business trips to negotiate on company orders, also to accomplish a serious task.
“Moreover, we also gained the friendship of the Inari Society, which will be of great help to Duanmu’s future career in Japan, right?” Wei Yue said with a smile as she sat opposite him. “After all, our Yuan family can only provide support when the sun rises, while they can provide support in the darkness.”
“These are all minor things,” Duanmu Ci said. “I came to Japan for tourism this time, but it’s a pity I didn’t get to see the cherry blossoms in Hokkaido. I’ll have to save that for next time.”
“If Duanmu-kun wants to go to Hokkaido to see the cherry blossoms, you can do it today,” Wei Yue said with a smile. “If you think about it, that’s probably the only place in all of Japan where the cherry blossoms are still in bloom. If you don’t go soon, the cherry blossoms in Hokkaido will soon fade away.”
“I’m afraid it won’t be possible to go.” Duanmu Ci smiled. “My butler told me that Morgan is going to make a move against me.”
Morgan?
"Um."
Actually, before they arrived in Kobe, while they were still in Tokyo, Bu Tongxun had called to say that the Morgan family was preparing to take action, but they hadn't completely broken ties yet and were still in a restrained phase. This time, Duanmu Ci struck at the heart of the matter, directly destroying the Shanri Group's stronghold and thwarting Morgan's plot to frame the Duanmu family, which finally provoked Morgan's anger.
Will you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty cup?
Then you should just die!
This is the simple idea that the Morgan family has held for hundreds of years.
So after news of the massacre at the headquarters of the Shanri Group spread, the Morgan family learned of Duanmu Ci's entry into Japan through their connections with Japanese customs. They then skipped the investigation and evidence collection process and directly identified Duanmu Ci as the "murderer".
The right person at the right time in the right place, not who you are.
That's Morgan's domineering nature.
After the news from Kobe was reported by the media, Morgan reacted immediately. They saw this incident as a sign of the Duanmu family's resistance and refusal to submit, so they began to wage war.
There are many ways to wage war. Morgan decided to first completely eliminate the Duanmu surname from the management board before proceeding to the next step. So this morning, the Morgan family raised the demand for a new election of the management board at the Rare Club and decided to hold a vote on the matter in a week.
Prior to this, Morgan had already contacted the other four major families on the management board and some club members, determined to reshuffle the Rare Club anew. As a gathering place for the world's top elites, the Rare Club possessed unimaginable power. If the Duanmu family were truly expelled, they would inevitably lose a significant portion of their connections, and their businesses around the world would be correspondingly affected.
This is something Duanmu Ci absolutely cannot allow, whether from the perspective of dignity or interests!
Fortunately, he had also prepared some countermeasures.
...
...
Duanmu Ci dialed the phone in front of Wei Yue, "Hello, is this the old butler? How are things going with your talks with the Chicago city government?"
There's a bustling commercial street in Chicago called The Magnificent Mall, which contributes a significant amount of profit to the Morgan family every year. This commercial street happens to belong to Duanmu Ci, who owns the land rights. The Morgan family had previously set their sights on this street, but for various reasons, they didn't want to negotiate directly and instead entrusted the Chicago city government to handle the matter on their behalf.
