So what will happen next? Will Kimura's fans riot? Or will they march and protest at the agency?

Oh, none of that.

Nothing happened.

The number one national superstar was blacklisted without incident. Because those fans are fake; no matter how passionate they are, they won't go up against the agency or attack the gang. At most, they'll just curse a few times online, which is useless.

Back then, there was a celebrity in Duanmu Huai's circle who got arrested, and his fans were bragging online about breaking him out.

And what happened?

Nothing made it to the news.

After a year or so, it's almost forgotten.

So in Japan, no matter how glorious these entertainers appear and how they rally responses, privately, they're ultimately just dogs raised by their agency. Tezuka Renichi once hinted to Duanmu Huai that after the deed was done, if Duanmu Huai needed anything, they could let some popular idols keep him company... even as a group.

Think about those girls who shine on stage, singing and dancing among cheering fans, then privately share a bed with you. It's interesting, isn't it?

Duanmu Huai said he could look forward to it.

This again proves that in this world, strength is the root of power; power unsupported by strength is just an illusion.

But we're getting off-topic, let's bring it back.

As a detective, Duanmu Huai is naturally familiar with the police. He privately asked a familiar officer for details, and Duanmu Huai got some understanding of the situation.

To sum up, what the Hawk Moon Group said is basically true. As for the current frenzy of the Tang Island Group searching for people everywhere, the police's attitude is to turn a blind eye. The reason is simple: the redevelopment of Kamurochō involves massive funds, and naturally, the police have a share in it. Policemen are not saints who don't eat or drink; if Kamurochō's redevelopment and expansion succeed, then the police budget will also increase, and of course, they want success.

Therefore, as long as the Tang Island Group doesn't go too far, killing, arson, or brawling, the police will just keep an eye on them without taking action.

Or, more extremely, even if the Tang Island Group kills someone, as long as they bury the evidence in Tokyo Bay and make the whole incident silent, the police won't care.

But if you have hundreds of people having a gunfight on the street, the police can't ignore it — that's pure defiance.

Then, it becomes a different scenario.

After all, crimes require investigation, while counter-terrorism only needs a list.

After that, Yuko Shionji also called. Being a top-notch hacker, she quickly found the target's information.

"The owner of that vacant land is named Makimura Mi, female, 20 years old. She lived with relatives in Tokyo three years ago. Later, her mother committed suicide, she ran away from home, and her whereabouts are unknown."

"Unknown whereabouts?"

Duanmu Huai frowned.

"No other clues?"

"Do you know how many people are named Makimura Mi nationwide? I can't possibly check them one by one."

"Try filtering, since we already know the age and gender, we should be able to narrow down some people."

"Alright, I'll try, but these were things from three years ago, so we might not find too many records."

Yuko Shionji sighed helplessly, then hung up the phone.

At this moment, Duanmu Huai drove to the entrance of Kamurochō. He stopped the car, looked at the bright red sign "Shinjuku World One" on the gate, tidied up his clothes, opened the car door, and stepped out, walking into the bustling red-light district.

As a detective, having taken on the case, Duanmu Huai naturally had to visit the site and see what that vacant plot was all about.

It was already nighttime, and the shopping streets around Duanmu Huai mostly closed by this hour, preparing for rest. However, the night seemed just to begin in Kamurochō's red-light district, with many people milling about and pedestrians soliciting clients on the streets.

Given Duanmu Huai's height, he was easily noticed by the people here, but no one dared to approach him; even passersby avoided him. After all, this was Kamurochō; no one knew this man's origins, especially since he looked fierce with his black coat, hardly like a good person.

It was as if "Do not mess with" was carved onto his face!

Thus, everyone gave way, and no one dared foolishly to provoke him.

Yet, while the crowd may have dispersed, some couldn't.

"Boss… "

Standing on the street not far away, a yakuza with a gloomy face glared at Duanmu Huai, who was striding forward, looking displeased. Beside him, his underlings were at a loss for words.

"Should we go up?"

Honestly, they didn't want to. The man opposite looked terrifyingly dreadful, like a serial killer found only in movies.

But the problem was, they were from the Tang Island Group!

This was their turf; a stranger had swaggered in, acting like he was going to smash things up. Being from the Tang Island Group, they couldn't just cower like turtles in a jar, for laughter would echo if word got out!

For a moment, these gang members hesitated between the organization's face and their own lives — this man was simply too fierce. Being gang members, they could tell that just from his appearance, he must have killed, and not just once!

The aura he exuded couldn't be replicated by a novice who hadn't killed!

Even their leader paled in comparison!

Where did this boss come from?

"...… Call for reinforcements!"

Finally, the thought of betting everything and gaining stature won out. So he quickly decided; this was Tang Island Group's territory, and being part of it, if he didn't step up, he'd be scolded by the leader. Conversely, if he stepped up, it showed dedication to the group!

Strong dragons don't overpower local snakes; let's see what this man can do!

Of course, he still sent for more men, and gritting his teeth, he led others to block Duanmu Huai's path.

"Hey! Which group are you from? What are you doing here!?"
