Aoyama Xiu Xin was furious.

On the other side, Sato Yuudou, a member of the Imperial Pole Society who organized today's rally and march, was also very angry. Organizing a rally required a significant investment of money and effort.

But due to Elena's shot, the rally had just begun and hastily ended without achieving the expected effect. The invested funds were all wasted.

As a rising star within the Imperial Pole Society, Sato Yuudou was highly valued by the Chairman, Ishihara Taichiro, who had overruled others to let the inexperienced Sato lead this rally for the first time. But now, it had turned into a fiasco.

Not only had he let down Ishihara Taichiro's expectations, but it was certain that those seniors in the organization who feared him and peers who envied him would take this opportunity to criticize him.

It would be difficult for him to take the lead on his own in the future.

"Idiot! It's all that damn Soviet's fault!" The more Sato Yuudou thought about it, the angrier he became, clenching his teeth and pounding the table with his fist. Although the Soviet Union had already dissolved, it hadn't been long, so most people still habitually referred to it as the Soviet Union rather than Russia.

One of his confidants, frowning with worry, said, "Sato Secretary, that Soviet acted like that local pregnant woman's bodyguard, carrying a gun and daring to shoot, hinting that her employer wasn't ordinary. During the chaos, our people roughly pushed that pregnant woman to the ground. Won't this cause us trouble?"

Hearing this, Sato Yuudou's face turned even uglier. At first, their target was not Elena but the local pregnant woman.

Unexpectedly, Elena resolutely drove them away for their propaganda, and as soon as she spoke, she revealed her Soviet identity, then was attacked by the aggressive members of the Imperial Pole Society, with the pregnant woman caught up in it as well.

Sato Yuudou, as the rally leader, not only did not stop it but rather added fuel to the flames by inciting passersby to denounce Aoyama Haruko's behavior as a betrayal of the Yamato People, calling her a traitor and a sell-out.

He wanted to use this pretext to stir up the patriotic psyche of the bystanders, giving them an opportunity to vent, enveloping them, and making the march as large as possible.

As for the two women he had exploited, the local pregnant woman and the Soviet woman, he did not care what happened to them. After all, there was strength in numbers, and the Imperial Pole Society, as an ultra-right-wing organization, wasn't new to having blood on its hands.

But he never expected that the Soviet woman would actually be armed, and her single shot dispersed some of the initially eager bystanders and Imperial Pole Society members, resulting in an abrupt end to today's rally.

His confidant's words made sense. What kind of person could afford to hire a Soviet woman with a gun to protect a pregnant woman?

He didn't know.

But what he did know was that the other party must be very powerful.

"I'm going to report to the Chairman now and ask him to inquire about it," Sato Yuudou said as he rose to leave.

"Bang!"

The door was violently broken open, and a group of uniformed police officers streamed in, pinning the just-risen Sato Yuudou and several confidants firmly to the ground.

"Don't move! Police! Get down!"

"What are you doing? Let go of me!"

"Idiot! Why are you arresting us?"

Sato Yuudou and the others struggled violently while cursing and demanding a reason for their arrest.

But the leading officer didn't give any explanations, just waved his hand and said tersely, "Take them away."

Usually, organized group rallies must be registered and reported to the relevant departments in advance, so Nakamura Shinichi just needed to arrest those on the list.

Besides Sato Yuudou, the police were also rounding up other members of the Imperial Pole Society who participated in today's parade.

The police's rough arrests, along with their refusal to show arrest warrants and their beating and dragging away of any resistors, naturally alarmed the higher-ups of the Imperial Pole Society.

Upon hearing about the incident, Chairman Ishihara Taichiro's first reaction was not anger but panic, as it was clear the police were targeting the Imperial Pole Society, and he couldn't help worrying whether the authorities intended to disband them.

Everyone knew that the Imperial Pole Society was a subsidiary organization of Aum Shinrikyo, a banned and targeted cult and terrorist organization by the government.

But he quickly calmed down, as reports from his subordinates indicated that only those who had participated in today's rally had been arrested, and everyone else was safe.

Clearly, there was some trouble during today's rally. He immediately sent people to investigate the matter.

Soon, he received information about the cause of the trouble being related to the pregnant woman and immediately called a well-known friend at police headquarters to understand the situation.

His friend promised to inquire on his behalf.

Half an hour later, he received a call from his friend.

"Chairman Ishihara, you've gotten yourself into big trouble!" As soon as the call connected, his friend from police headquarters didn't beat around the bush and quickly said, "Today, your Imperial Pole Society's parade surrounded and knocked down a pregnant woman on the street. That's Minister Aoyama's sister-in-law, and she's in the hospital after you caused her to miscarriage risk."

"What! What!" Ishihara Taichiro stood up abruptly upon hearing this, nearly blacking out and fainting.

Aoyama Xiu Xin had been in Hokkaido for nearly a year, and everyone had come to understand his style of doing things – generous, overbearing, and ruthless.

The Imperial Pole Society had once surrounded Aoyama Xiu Xin's own vehicle during a parade. Fortunately, the police intervened in time, preventing serious consequences. Afterward, he apologized proactively, and Aoyama Xiu Xin did not hold it against them.

But he hadn't expected that their parade would actually attack Aoyama Xiu Xin's sister-in-law this time, resulting in her being sent to the hospital after suffering trauma. If she or the child in her womb was harmed, wouldn't the Aoyama brothers seek retribution against the Imperial Pole Society to the bitter end?
