"Makino-kun, what do you mean by this?" Miyamoto Kenichi was the first to attack, his voice as cold as ice. "You sent people to surround my shopping mall and hotel without a word?"
Masaya Ikegami's face was grim: "My Ikegami family's docks have been blocked by your men since yesterday, resulting in losses exceeding 500 million yen. This isn't over until you give us an explanation!"
Yuta Makino suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing eerily in the empty dock. He abruptly stopped laughing, his face contorted in pain: "You still have the nerve to ask me? My son, Tenki, was attacked at the Miyamoto family's hotel during the summit, and you offered no explanation whatsoever! That very night, someone went to 'Nightfall' and completely crippled my son!" He gritted his teeth as he spat out the last few words, "Now he's lying in the ICU, his life dependent on machines for the rest of his days!"
Kenichi Miyamoto was clearly stunned, his brows furrowed: "What did you say? A celestial attack? I had no idea!" He turned to Masashi Ikegami, "Have you heard?"
Chi Shang shook his head, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes: "Mu Ye Tianji is usually arrogant and domineering. How many people has he offended? Can you even count them yourself? Last month, he almost drugged my daughter! I haven't even settled that score with you yet, and you're already trying to blockade my docks?"
Yuta Makino's face turned a deep shade of liver: "Stop pretending to be innocent!" He pulled the exquisite family crest from his pocket and slammed it down in front of Kenichi Miyamoto's feet. "Look at this! Kurosaki shot it off that bastard! That guy escaped into your Ikegami family's mansion, and you didn't even utter a sound!"
Kenichi Miyamoto bent down to pick up the family crest, examining it closely under the lamplight. His expression grew increasingly grim: "This is indeed the emblem of my Miyamoto family... but it's impossible! I've never sent anyone to do such a thing!"
"Keep acting! Keep acting!" Makino Yuta grinned maliciously and took a step back. "How long have you two families been colluding? Do you think that just because you have the Matsui family backing you up, you can shit on my Makino family's head?"
Kenichi Miyamoto suddenly turned to Masashi Ikegami: "Ikegami-kun, you really didn't know about this?"
"You doubt me?" Ikegami laughed angrily. "My daughter was almost violated by that little beast. I will avenge him, but I would never use such despicable means! But you..." He narrowed his eyes, "Last month we agreed on the shipping revenue sharing, and you secretly withheld 20%. Did you think I didn't know?"
The situation was completely out of control. The bodyguards of the three major families had already quietly taken up their positions, their fingers on the trigger guards. Han Feng subtly adjusted the focus of his night vision goggles, taking in every detail of this spectacle.
Yuta Makino suddenly raised his hand, and Kurosaki immediately handed him the silver metal case. "Since you won't admit it..." Yuta Makino entered the password, the lid popped open, revealing a tablet computer inside. "Then take a look at these!"
The screen lit up, displaying a clear surveillance video—the scene of Miyamoto Kojiro handing over the gene serum at the dock. Han Feng raised an eyebrow slightly; this was an unexpected bonus. He had only planned to incite conflict between three families, but he hadn't expected the Makino family to possess such crucial evidence.
"This is... Kojiro?" Miyamoto Kenichi's face turned deathly pale. "Impossible! He went to Switzerland last month!"
"This surveillance footage is from last month, right at your Miyamoto family's private dock!" Makino Yuta shouted angrily. "The council has explicitly prohibited the outflow of gene-enhancing drugs, yet you dared to sell them to Southeast Asian gangs!"
Kenichi Miyamoto's fingers gripped the family crest tightly, its metal edges completely warped, reflecting an eerie light in the moonlight. He looked up from the tablet, his eyes blazing with shock and rage: "How did you get this information?"
The searchlights on the dock swept across, illuminating his ashen face like a ghost. Makino Yuta coldly closed the metal case: "You don't need to know how I got it." He took a step closer. "Just tell me, do you admit to these things or not?"
Ikegami Masashi's gaze swept back and forth between the two men, his expression growing increasingly strange. Although the Ikegami family's cooperation with the Miyamoto family was based on the Matsui family behind them, he never expected the Miyamoto family to dare to sell gene-enhancing drugs privately. This was an act explicitly prohibited by the council, and the gene-enhancing drugs were still unstable and posed a constant risk!
"Miyamoto-kun..." Ikegami's voice tightened, "Those boxes do indeed have the Ikegami family's shipping seal on them. You borrowed my ship to transport these...things?"
Kenichi Miyamoto abruptly turned to Masashi Ikegami: "Shut up!" Veins bulged on his forehead. "This information is only available within the Miyamoto family; it's extremely confidential!" He suddenly pointed at Yuta Makino, "You still dare to say it wasn't your Makino family that bombed my shopping mall and stole the data hard drive?!"
Yuta Makino scoffed, not denying it at all: "So what if the mall explodes? Is it more important than my son's life?" A crazed glint flashed in his eyes. "Tenki is the only heir of the Makino family!"
These words were like igniting a powder keg. Miyamoto Kenichi's face contorted in agony: "What kind of bastard is Makino Tenki?!" he roared, spittle flying everywhere. "He publicly assaulted an old man in Ginza, drugged a female student in Shinjuku, and last month even tried to drug and humiliate Ikegami Aya! He deserved to be crippled!" He slammed his family crest to the ground. "I didn't do it, that's all! Stop throwing mud at me! I'd rather be the one who did it!"
The metal badge bounced twice on the ground and rolled to Ikegami Masashi's feet. Ikegami Masashi bent down to pick it up, his brow furrowed: "Gentlemen, don't act rashly..." He stroked the surface of the badge and suddenly noticed something unusual; the details of the pattern were subtly different from the Miyamoto family crest he remembered. His Ikegami family's cultivation method was related to the eyes, so he could naturally notice these slight details.
"Something's strange about this..." Ikegami looked up, about to reveal his discovery, but was interrupted by Makino Yuta's angry roar.
"Ikegami Masashi, stop pretending to be a good guy! Who do you think you are?!" Makino Yuta cursed at Ikegami Masashi, "You let those Miyamoto family scum escape into your territory without saying a word! You really think nobody knows about the dirty deeds of your Ikegami family?"
Kenichi Miyamoto sneered repeatedly: "Tadashi Ikegami, stop pretending to be a peacemaker! You've only gotten close to me for the Matsui family's resources. What your Ikegami family has done behind the scenes is no better than what we've done!"
Ikegami Masashi's anger was also stirred up by their back-and-forth, and he began to speak without mercy: "Heh, as if what your two families have done is any better than what my Ikegami family has done? Neither of you are any good, so what are you pretending for?"
Han Feng, who was on the crane, was quite anxious for them as he watched the tense scene below, but no one made a move. So he came up with a plan.
