Chapter 57 Eight Shotas
Shotaro Harada has been the mayor for less than a month, but he is a native of Hakata and his family is quite powerful. Long before he actually became the mayor, he had been buying off the hearts and minds of people and placing his own spies throughout the city government in order to ensure a smooth career.
Even if the former mayor had not been deposed by them, he would never have imagined that the iron barrel next to him would be corroded into a sieve by Shotaro Harada.
It can be said that the position of mayor has long been in the pocket of Shotaro Harada.
But even if the Harada family could help him build his own power, Harada Shotaro would not be able to sit in his current position if he only relied on the Harada family.
The scandals that led to the former mayor's imprisonment mainly came from Shotaro Harada's private partner, Shunichi Mogami.
Mogami Shunichi is Kenji Mogami's most favored youngest son, but he is an illegitimate child and has no qualifications to inherit the foundation. No matter how favored he is and how much power he has, he will have to hand it over in the end.
How could he be happy?
Cooperating with Harada Shotaro was a risky move, but if it went right, Mogami Shunichi would have more wealth and power, so he boarded Harada Shotaro's ship.
But he didn't expect that the latter had never taken him seriously.
Shotaro Harada saw the situation of the previous mayor. There are naturally many advantages to having a big tycoon as your backer, but the disadvantages are also never invisible. At least he does not want to wait until he becomes the mayor and then have to look at Mogami Shunichi's face in Hakata.
In other words, he wants to completely overthrow the Mogami Group from Hakata - anyway, it requires the support of the big money, so instead of choosing you as a partner, it would be better to swallow you up and make your own family his biggest backer.
In this way, Shotaro Harada will have more power in Hakata.
This plan to have it all would be impossible to implement successfully in any other city, but this is Hakata.
Shotaro Harada hid the fact that he had colluded with Shunichi Mogami and the gangsters that were everywhere in Hakata, intending to wait until they cooperated to kill Kenji Mogami and seize power, and then slowly sideline Shunichi Mogami, eat up the Mogami Group, and finally eat up this big piece of cake alone.
Unfortunately, Shunichi Mogami was not a fool. Even though Shotaro Harada thought he had kept it a secret, he still discovered the clues.
At today's banquet, the reason why Mogami Shunichi was so angry was because he caught Harada Shotaro deliberately showing his tail and wanted to question him.
This was also part of Shotaro Harada's plan... The plan has come to an end, and he absolutely cannot let Shunichi Mogami fight back with the idea of dying together, otherwise his efforts will most likely be wasted.
Then, all we have to do is kill Mogami Shunichi.
In the night, a well-dressed brown-haired man walked out slowly from the hidden compartment, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window with admiration at the peaceful and beautiful scenery.
"Hakata is such a corrupt city," he said calmly. "It is precisely because it is corrupt that people like you are attracted to it, but I am different from you."
The man's cheeks were thin, and his drooping eyelids hid the cold light in his eyes. He moved his lips, turned his head to look at the uninvited guest at the door, and used the tone he used when he was campaigning: "I, Shotaro Harada, will make Hakata a better place! This beautiful city doesn't need foreign garbage like you, what do you think?"
"——Bourbon."
Bourbon stared at Harada Shotaro and the body of Mogami Shunichi at his feet. He smiled warmly and said, "I think the mayor got it wrong."
His hand remained motionless on the gun in his pocket, and he changed the subject and continued speaking briskly.
"Hakata has always been a beautiful city, but it's the people who are corrupt." The intelligence officer, who looked not very good at fighting, said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the mayor already knew who I was. Then, you should also know why I came, right?"
Shotaro Harada stared at the intruder he had encountered with an unpleasant expression.
He originally planned to silence Mogami Shunichi in advance, so as to divert the attention of Mogami Kenji who had begun to doubt him. He would then take advantage of the latter's distraction by this matter and send Mogami Kenji to accompany Mogami Shunichi.
Even at the crime scene, he didn't pretend to be there. After all, this was Hakata, and he had bribed the police station long ago and had prepared a scapegoat.
His only son likes to torture and kill women. He can even take the initiative to buy those helpless women for his son to play with, and no one dares to say anything. Now it's just a matter of killing someone with a higher status. Harada Shotaro only needs to hide it from Kenji Mogami and everything will be fine.
Risks naturally exist, but the benefits are several times greater than the risks, so he would rather take the risk.
However, from Mogami Shunichi, Harada Shotaro inadvertently learned the relationship between the organization and the Mogami Group, which was undoubtedly beyond his plan.
He knew very well that the organization would definitely come to Hakata to investigate him, and he had to kill Mogami Shunichi. By then, he would be the only "chicken" who could be killed as a warning to others because he had "harmed the interests of the organization."
The ferocity in Harada Shotaro's eyes grew even stronger.
Bourbon must not be allowed to leave alive, otherwise he will be the one to die.
After killing Shunichi Mogami, he pretended to have left, but actually hid in a cubicle and waited for his prey. Naturally, he heard what Bourbon said to his companion on the other side of the headset.
He looked at Bourbon, who had a wary look on his face, and couldn't help but smile with a confident smile.
"Your companion is the one who is in Mr. Charter's room right now. Don't worry, I will send him to accompany you soon."
Bourbon stepped back as if to escape, and Harada Shotaro subconsciously followed his movement and took two steps forward: "What a pity, I won in the end..."
A bullet shattered the glass and went right through his head.
Shotaro Harada's body fell at Bourbon's feet.
"Target killed."
The sniper's calm voice rang in Bourbon's earphones.
Inside the room, the blond young man had a calm expression and a mocking tone: "So don't think you have won until the very last moment."
—
Bourbon learned about the dispute between Harada Shotaro and Mogami Shunichi through the eavesdropping device, and also learned that the two had fought. In order not to alert the enemy, he did not say it directly in the communication channel, but secretly sent messages to his companions about the change of action plan.
Long before he appeared in the lounge, the three had already learned that Mogami Shunichi was dead, and their respective missions had also been changed. What Bourbon said was just a bait to lower Harada Shotaro's vigilance!
While Bourbon was setting up the trap and A was secretly and quickly assembling the sniper, Lei also sneaked into Kenji Mogami's lounge.
Lei's best skills are sniping and fighting, but that doesn't mean he's not smart. Rather, he's not inferior in intelligence. So when Bourbon informed him of the change in action, he had already threatened Kenji Mogami once, and the effect was quite good.
Facing the gaze of Kenji Mogami, who was sweating profusely but didn't dare to let his bodyguards in, Lei lowered his head to check the message.
...Shunichi Mogami is dead?
His eyes changed.
"I'm sorry to inform you of this news, Mr. Mogami." The long-haired young man had a cold expression on his face. He stretched out his hand and pulled the knitted hat on his head. His tone was calm and unperturbed. "It seems that your beloved son, Junyi, has been murdered by someone else."
Kenji Mogami was shocked and looked up in disbelief: "What...?!"
Lei stood in front of the man, looking down at him, the murderous aura around him still intact: "I think it's probably because Harada didn't know that you also intended to escape the control of the organization, and took advantage of the time when you lost the protection of the organization to find out about you, so he chose to take action now."
There was nothing wrong with what he said, except that the word "also" was very clever. At least Kenji Mogami's first reaction after hearing it was - "Harada also did that!"
What? Of course, he was also bought by the organization!
In other words, he was actually trying to use the organization's people to get rid of the organization?
Mogami Kenji's face turned even paler.
"But don't be too sad." The black-haired young man with one hand in his pocket took a glance and said lightly, "Since Harada chose to betray first, we will naturally 'avenge you', and it will also be a good opportunity for others to see it."
"Look, those who betray the organization will not have a good ending." Lai's sharp eyes weighed on him, and Mogami Kenji couldn't help but tremble. "What do you think of this as a reward for not rebelling against the Mogami Group?"
Lei was well aware that his actions were destroying the psychological defenses of the Mogami Kenji, making him even more fearful of the organization.
His eyes were deep, and in the end he could only hide his thoughts.
This is the organization. Lei thought, even if he took this opportunity to let Kenji Mogami escape temporarily today, he would still be doomed to die later.
The organization will never trust a person who has the intention of betraying. Only after Kenji Mogami's 'accidental' death can the organization naturally support a new puppet to take office.
He decided to find a way to report this matter to the FBI and let them transfer Kenji Mogami ahead of time.
We must not allow the organization to completely seize the right to speak in Hakata!
At the same time, Lei also heard the words "target killed" in the communication channel. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Kenji Mogami, then tapped the earphone with his fingers.
"The traitor over there is dead." He nodded coldly to Kenji Mogami, "I hope Mr. Mogami will not forget what you said."
…
Standing in the building opposite the hotel banquet hall, Scotland, who had just shot and killed Harada Shotaro, fixed his eyes on the mirror again. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bourbon was safe and sound.
"It's time to go." Bourbon said in the headset.
Just as Scotland was about to move away from behind the gun, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.
He turned his head and saw A staring at the hotel opposite with a frown on his face. Although he was talking to him, he didn't look at him.
"Get out of there quickly, Mr. Bourbon and Mr. Ley." The child's expression and tone were still calm, but he said scary words, "The mayor and the people of the most senior magistrate are probably the only ones left in that banquet hall."
"If you don't leave now, you may not be able to leave."
Chi Jiang Na Yue's perspective was different from the other three, but the reason he gave a direct reminder was not entirely because the banquet hall was full of crises, but more because of the car parked at the bottom of the hotel building - a white Mazda, and the license plate was very familiar to him.
Akajina Yue took a deep breath in her heart: If I don't leave now, Matsuda Jinpei and the other man who appeared here for some unknown reason might kill me for the sake of justice!
