Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Yokohama Burning Plan (Part 1)...
According to Mr. Ango's plan, Saionji Tamon's first mission is to track important figures in the Guild, the Port Mafia and the Armed Detective Agency.
Not only are the whereabouts of the leaders and high-ranking officials of the two aforementioned organizations kept secret, they are also surrounded by heavy security forces, making it quite difficult to find their whereabouts and successfully monitor them.
In comparison, it was not that difficult to follow the members of the Armed Detective Agency. Even though they had changed their base due to this incident, Tamane quickly tracked down their location with the intelligence provided by Ango Sakaguchi.
Moreover, there is a key figure in the Special Ability Agent Department, who is the "human tiger" that Yuyin had heard from Fushimi before.
When she first heard it, Yuyin thought it was referring to an animal. After reading the latest information from Yokohama, she realized that it was a code name referring to Nakajima Atsushi, a new member of the Butei Club.
The Guild targeted Nakajima Atsushi for some special purpose, so as long as she kept a close eye on Nakajima Atsushi, she would be able to see the actions of both the Martial Arts Detective Club and the Guild.
*
Across the river, Yuyin witnessed the whole process of Guild leader Francis easily beating the young Nakajima Atsushi. When she was hesitating whether to intervene, a beautiful girl in kimono suddenly appeared and rescued him.
Yuyin looked at the girl's height and appearance, guessing she was smaller than her current body. She lowered her head and looked up the temporary permissions Mr. Ango had given her: Izumi Kyoka, 14 years old, member of the Port Mafia, had killed 35 people in six months...
Seeing this, Yuyin's eyes flashed, and she roughly guessed what strategy the enemy would use next.
As expected, when Yuyin arrived at the dock, she saw that the policeman that Nakajima Atsushi and the other two wanted to ask for help was actually about to draw a gun on Izumi Kyoka and say something.
Izumi Kyoka's reaction was also very intense. When she sensed something unusual, she immediately jumped up and injured the old policeman with her weapon. The situation took a turn for the worse. The injured Nakajima Atsushi had to stop her, then grabbed Izumi Kyoka and ran away.
Yuyin followed them closely while looking around. She was sure that the people from the Guild were doing the same as her. They had never let Nakajima Atsushi and the others go and were driving them away from the police just to make it easier for them to take action.
Relying on her experience, Yuyin quickly locked onto the orange-haired young man who was planning to snipe Shima Atsushi and the other man from a distance. She quickly took out the bow and arrow from her back, drew the bow and put the arrow on it in one go.
The next moment, the arrow containing the amplified power brushed past the side of the orange-haired young man and hit the sniper tool in his hand.
“Are you kidding me…?”
The young man known as Mark Twain stared in astonishment at the pile of broken equipment on the ground. He couldn't help but complain as he turned on his communicator, "Hey, Boss, the enemy has a ranged attacker. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I'd known there were people with us, I would have hidden more secretly. If that attack had landed on me..." The thought of that possibility made Mark shudder. "I'd be dead long ago."
Francis, who was waiting for Nakajima Atsushi to enter the network on his own, received a call from his subordinate. His first reaction was: "Impossible. The previous intelligence, whether it's the detective agency or the Port Mafia, doesn't contain any such person. Louisa's perfect battle plan can't have any loopholes—"
Click.
Francis' voice stopped abruptly.
A gun was pressed to the back of his head.
The red-haired man holding the gun, his usually listless face, now had a rare sharp expression. He threatened the Guild leader, who was only half a head taller than him, "Excuse me, could you please return our child to us?"
It was Oda Sakunosuke. After turning her attention away from the sniper, Yuyin quickly recognized this familiar face. His appearance had not changed much, but his outward temperament seemed lighter and gentler than when he was in the port Mafia, like a pebble washed clean of all impurities, feeling warm and smooth in her hands.
"Mr. Oda!"
Seeing the reliable senior Odasaku appear, Nakajima Atsushi shouted with joy.
Odasaku turned his gaze towards Nakajima Atsushi and smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, Atsushi-kun, Dazai was in a car accident and was in the hospital. I rushed over after visiting him. I kept you waiting for a long time."
"No, nothing," Nakajima Atsushi quickly waved his hands. Upon hearing about Dazai Osamu's car accident, he asked with concern, "Is Dazai-senpai okay?"
"Ah..." Oda ran his free hand through his hair. "Dazai-kun, it's just his hand that's injured. This kind of injury... but another friend of his is seriously injured."
Francis tilted his gaze slightly, raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled in a way that didn't sound like someone whose life was threatened. "Oda Sakunosuke from the Armed Detective Agency? Were you the one who stopped Mark from attacking just now?"
Before Oda could reply, he overturned his own conclusion and shook his head, saying, "That shouldn't be possible. At this distance, with the power of your pistol, it can't pose a threat to Mark. So, you have a long-range support person behind you now."
Odasaku was slightly taken aback, and replied honestly: "I'm sorry, I don't know the person you are talking about."
In fact, on his way to the scene, the combat-experienced Odasaku had already discovered that there was someone at a suitable sniping spot on the other side of the river. However, it was too late for him to get there, and the range of the pistol was far from enough to threaten that place.
Odasaku had no choice but to find another way. He used his special ability [Perfect] to wait in ambush. Once he sensed that the other party was about to fire a gun, he would fire at the same time, shooting down the bullet that was intended to harm his own child.
However, before the other party could make a move, he sensed something else happening and decided to capture the thief and the leader of the Guild directly.
The old man smoking his pipe watched them talk silently, with no intention of saving their leader from Odasaku's gun.
Francis didn't need his rescue. After spitting out a strengthened amount that he had tested and could withstand bullets, Francis turned around and attacked Odasaku unscrupulously, but the latter easily dodged it.
His fighting skills were not particularly outstanding, but Odasaku could sense the power of his punches, and he avoided them just in time with foresight, then raised his gun and shot.
Francis narrowed his eyes and said unconcernedly: "It's useless. This little damage is just a drizzle."
However, Odasaku was not shaken by the fact that his attacks were ineffective. Instead, he turned his attention away and shouted to Nakajima Atsushi and the other man who were watching the battle on the other side, "Don't worry about me, just run first."
Capturing the thief and the leader was just a battle plan he came up with on the spur of the moment. He never thought it would succeed. The Guild's target was Nakajima Atsushi. He only needed to delay Francis so that Atsushi and the other two could escape successfully, and the battle would be considered a victory.
"But... Mr. Oda, you..." Nakajima Atsushi was certainly unwilling to escape like this. However, Izumi Kyoka, who was standing next to him, acted decisively, immediately grabbing his hand and saying, "Run!"
Francis frowned and tutted when he saw this, feeling a little unhappy.
In addition to Margaret who was in the hospital and Hawthorne who had left, Howard and John were sent by him to capture the special psychic abilities of the Port Mafia. At this moment, only he, Herman and Mark were lying in ambush at the dock, and Herman was only providing logistical support and had no direct combat power.
In other words, if he wants to defeat the fighting power of the Butei Club member opposite him, he can only rely on himself.
However, the man who was not very strong was extremely agile and could always dodge his strengthened fists with minimal effort, as if he had already known the route of his attack. Even if he increased the consumption of his supernatural powers, no matter how powerful the strengthened attack was, it would be ineffective if it could not hit the target.
"You have the ability of precognition?"
Seeing that the target tiger had run far away, Francis distanced himself and began to find out more information about Odasaku.
Before he planned to visit Yokohama, he spent a lot of money to collect intelligence information on members of Yokohama's two most famous and powerful organizations - the Port Mafia and the Butei Club. He thought it would be very effective, but he didn't expect to miss such a big fish.
Odasaku had a blank expression on his face and remained noncommittal. After that incident, Ango had blocked all information about him as an apology. Coupled with the subsequent laundering of files and change of identity, few people outside the detective agency knew of his specific abilities.
"The intelligence gathering was insufficient. I admit that this was my failure, but I may not be able to do the same next time."
Even though the plan he personally carried out failed, Francis still looked as calm and proud as ever. He turned to the old man and called out, "Hermann."
Hermann summoned the white whale lurking on the beach near the pier.
In fact, as long as the mutant is caught, the plan can be considered a success. Capturing the human-tiger is just the icing on the cake. He has always pursued the perfection and splendor of his plans, and Louisa has always given him advice in this way.
Francis and Herman stood before the massive white whale and threatened Odasaku, "I'm going to make you regret not handing the tiger over to me."
At the same time, Yuyin, who had been observing the development of the situation, received new news from her former boss.
Sakaguchi Ango: [Yumeno Hisasaku has been captured and taken away by the Guild, return quickly.]
*
Ango Sakaguchi waved away all the guards and met with the disguised Saionji Tamane in the underground garage with a cane, and personally handed her all the information about Yumeno Hisasaku.
Yuyin flipped through the page of information and shook her head, "The Mafia is truly inhumane. They're exploiting such a young child."
There was Izumi Kyoka before and Yumeno Hisasaku after. Can’t the Ministry of Justice sue the Port Mafia for employing child labor?
Sakaguchi Ango pushed up his glasses and explained further, "Yumeno Hisasaku joined the Port Mafia very early on. It's said that he was imprisoned by the Mafia for years after causing significant damage. This time, the Guild came with such force that the Mafia actually released him. He has a very brutal mind-control ability, so it's no exaggeration to call him a curse."
Ango Sakaguchi should be thankful for his experience as an undercover agent in the Port Mafia, which allowed him to learn information about many important figures and avoid missing such important intelligence clues.
Curse...
Yuyin seemed to be lost in thought when she heard this. Hearing this familiar word in the world of sorcery, she almost had a conditioned reflex. She wondered if she could just call a sorcerer for help. Then she heard Sakaguchi Ango continue.
"The Guild's people specifically took him away. I believe there must be a major conspiracy behind this that we cannot ignore."
Sakaguchi Ango asked in a serious tone, "It's up to you, Saionji, to find out their purpose and, if necessary, stop and rescue Yumeno Hisasaku."
Yuyin closed the document: "I understand."
