One side was prepared, the other completely unprepared. In such a situation, the Triad naturally suffered losses.

"Yuan Ye-kun, let's retreat." A brother beside him hurriedly shouted, "We can't hold on."

"Retreat? Retreat where?" Yuan Ye gritted his teeth and said, "The people behind us have been sealed in."

"Ah?!" At this moment, the Triad members realized they were surrounded like dumplings.

"What do we do?" The Triad disciples immediately panicked. As soon as a person panics, they instantly lose confidence. Losing confidence causes disarray. The Triad disciples quickly lost their formation and hurriedly retreated.

"Don't retreat, don't retreat!!" Yuan Ye roared angrily.

However, no matter how loud he shouted, those people simply did not listen to him. Once the formation was chaotic, morale was lost. Adding to this were the anguished wails of seriously injured brothers on the ground, causing the Triad disciples to become even more disordered.

"Kill!" Zhou Kai raised his arm and swung it.

"Kill!" In the crowd, Huo Di raised a long fish fork and fiercely thrust it towards the opponent.

In the fish market, the calls to fight and kill were extremely loud. Everyone showed a hint of excitement, the enemy's defeat was the best stimulant for each person. They grabbed weapons and chased after their foes furiously, like viciously beating a drowning dog.

The Triad members fled in panic, as a group quickly climbed over the walls, but most were still trapped within them. Ultimately, they were surrounded by Zhou Kai, Lu Dapao, and Huang Bo.

"Don't move, anyone who moves will be killed!" Liu Cheng completed the encirclement.

More than a hundred Triad members were captured. Several dozen corpses were left on the scene.

Over a hundred people escaped over the wall.

Zhou Kai and the others felt victorious and extremely exhilarated.

"Squat down, don't move, raise your hands." Zhou Kai shouted angrily.

More than a hundred Triad members were surrounded by several hundred members of Jvyi Gang. They all obediently squatted on the ground, having already discarded their weapons, not daring to resist any further. They all understood that the consequences of resistance were extremely serious and would result in a terrible death.

Outside the main gate, the sound of cars crashing into each other could be heard. Those who escaped scrambled into cars because they arrived arrogantly, parking haphazardly. Cars were parked chaotically, the front ends crashing into each other, squeezing out of the pile.

At that moment, Zhou Kai ordered the gate to be opened.

Just moments after it was opened, outside, a badly damaged Toyota Crown drove in, emitting white smoke. The front end was nearly shattered, the hood was missing, and the bumper was deformed. The windshield was shattered beyond recognition. The driver trembled as he drove into the fish market. He was scared, afraid the car would explode at any second. Luckily, he safely made his way back.

The car door opened, and the Monk dragged Kato Takashi out of the car.

"Brothers, see who I've captured." The Monk shouted excitedly.

Everyone turned their heads to look over, Zhou Kai was amazed, "Whoa, Monk, nicely done. You've caught the old man."

"Damn, it took a Herculean effort. Almost let the old man escape." The Monk grinned.

"The Triad is completely finished." Zhou Kai chuckled.

This time, the Triad was thoroughly defeated, and the defeat was very severe.

Yuan Ye was pulled from the crowd by Huang Bo, "Kid, stop hiding. Even if you buried yourself underground, I'd still pull you back."

"President." Yuan Ye looked at Kato Takashi awkwardly.

"Sigh..." Kato Takashi sighed deeply.

Lin Chuan walked up to Kato Takashi with a cigarette in his mouth and smiled, "Mr. Kato Takashi, can we sit down and quietly talk now?"

"What do you want to talk about?" Kato Takashi glared at Lin Chuan through clenched teeth, eyes nearly shooting fire.

"You tell me?" Lin Chuan smiled.

"You untrustworthy thing, I've got nothing to say to you." Kato Takashi snorted coldly.

"Then let me ask you, do you want to live?" Lin Chuan smiled.

"Of course!" Kato Takashi nodded immediately.

Everyone wants to live, and Kato Takashi knew Lin Chuan wasn't joking. Otherwise, he wouldn't have outright slaughtered Shino's group, over two hundred lives. This was practically the act of a thug, absolutely butcher-like.

Therefore, they were very angry, both angry and ashamed.

"Very good." Lin Chuan smiled faintly, "Zhou Kai, bring him to my office. The rest, lock them in the warehouse."

"Yes!" Zhou Kai nodded.

Lin Chuan returned to the office, which used to be Hundred Rivers Association's office, now became Lin Chuan's hideout. While the office wasn't luxurious, it was at least bright, adequately heated, and quite comfortable inside. Lin Chuan crossed his legs and sat on the sofa, smiling as he looked at Kato Takashi standing in front of him, covered in blood.

"What do you want to talk about?" Kato Takashi spoke first.

"If you want to live, hand over Fuchuan Hotel." Lin Chuan said.

"You're crazy!" Kato Takashi said disdainfully, "Even if you kill me, I will never hand over Fuchuan Hotel to you."

"Aren't you afraid of dying?" Lin Chuan sneered coldly.

"It's not about being afraid or not." Kato Takashi smiled faintly. He calmly walked up to Lin Chuan, sat down on the sofa opposite him, and said, "Even if I give you the Fuchuan Hotel, what can you do? Do you really think you can manage it smoothly?"

Lin Chuan was slightly taken aback and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"My meaning is quite obvious." Kato Takashi unhurriedly took a cigar from his blood-stained clothes and said, "Do you think the Fuchuan Hotel belongs solely to me?"

"Who else has shares?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"The mayor of Fukuoka City, and people from the Fukuoka City court." Kato Takashi took a puff of the cigar and said, "Do you think signing the transfer contract just means you can smoothly take over the Fuchuan Hotel? Young man, you're too naive."

Lin Chuan was stupefied. It suddenly dawned on him. It turns out Japan is just like China, where such corruption and bribery also exist.

"Understood." Lin Chuan nodded.

"Then... do you still want the Fuchuan Hotel?" Kato Takashi laughed.

"I don't want the Fuchuan Hotel anymore." Lin Chuan lightly flicked the ash from his cigarette and smiled, "I only want one thing."

"What?" Kato Takashi asked.

"Money!" Lin Chuan's mouth curled into a slight smile.

Thump...

Kato Takashi's heart skipped a beat. Whenever it came to money, a sense of panic engulfed him. A few nights ago, he had discussed money with Lin Chuan. But this guy took the money and didn't release the hostages, instead killing Shino and everyone. Discussing money again this time, who knows if he'll pull the same stunt of taking the money without releasing the people?

"How much?" Kato Takashi asked tentatively.

"The price has gone up this time." Lin Chuan raised a finger and said, "One billion yen!"

Sss...

Kato Takashi's eyes widened instantly and said, "You've gone mad, starting with one billion yen."

"Is it a lot?" Lin Chuan smiled and said, "It's only ten million US dollars, just a drop in the bucket for you, right?"

"Fuchuan Hotel's annual profits are only a few tens of millions of US dollars." Kato Takashi sneered, "Yet you want to take ten million in one go. Do you think I'll give it to you?"

"Compared to your life, I believe you definitely will." Lin Chuan took a deep breath of smoke, exhaling clouds.

"You!" Kato Takashi was furious.

Facing the threat, he had no choice but to compromise. Lin Chuan had thoroughly understood the kind of person he was dealing with. This guy was too despicable, threatening him at every turn. Not only that, but Lin Chuan also carried an eerie, sinister soul silently within him.

"I have over a hundred of your people in my warehouse." Lin Chuan laughed, "Mr. Kato Takashi, we in China have a saying: 'As long as the green hills last, there's no fear of running out of firewood.' Ten million US dollars isn't much for you, just grit your teeth and you can take it out. Compared to over a hundred lives, ten million US dollars really isn't much."

"Fine!" Kato Takashi gritted his teeth and said, "I want an on-the-spot deal. I'll give you the money; you release the people."

"Sure!" Lin Chuan nodded and said, "What's so hard about that?"

Subsequently, in front of everyone, Kato Takashi carried out a phone transaction, transferring ten million US dollars from East Asia Bank to Lin Chuan's Sichuan University Group. Once the funds were confirmed received, Lin Chuan looked at Zhou Kai: "Kai, let them go."

"Huh? Really let them go?" Zhou Kai was incredulous. Given Lin Chuan's character, he found it unlikely that they would actually be released. So, he was quite puzzled.

"Of course!" Lin Chuan nodded.

"This..." Zhou Kai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, let them go."

Reluctantly, Zhou Kai had no choice but to let them go.

Kato Takashi also found it strange and curiously asked, "Lin Chuan, are you really going to let us leave?"

"Would you rather stay?" Zhou Kai frowned.

"No, no." Kato Takashi waved his hand hurriedly, stood up, and said, "Then... I'll be going first."

With that, Kato Takashi headed for the door.

At the door, Liu Cheng and Li Qiang's group immediately blocked his path.

"Let him go," Lin Chuan said.

"Yes!" Liu Cheng and his group nodded.

Kato Takashi's face showed a bit of panic. Aging made him more fearful of death. Especially after falling into Lin Chuan's hands, his fear and terror increased. He was on the brink of collapse. Lin Chuan, a man who murdered with impunity, exerted such a strong aura that it stunned Kato Takashi. Hence, Kato Takashi was willing to spend money to avoid disaster, buying his life for ten million US dollars.

After leaving the office, the over a hundred people held in the warehouse were also released.

Kato Takashi, with over a hundred people, left the fishery dejectedly.

Behind him, the over a hundred people also appeared quite despondent, but they remained loyal to Kato Takashi, at least appreciating his willingness to spend money to buy their freedom.
