Chapter 1688

"What's the plan?" Cindy asked hurriedly.

"Well, when I’m headed to meet the Akao family tomorrow, I..." Then, Fade whispered in her ear and quickly went over his plan.

After she finished listening to him, she nodded and said, "I'll secretly inform Captain Hu."

"Well, that's a deal. Have a good rest tonight. There will surely be a fight tomorrow." He patted her on the shoulder.

The next day, the entire Tosika City was immersed in a tense atmosphere.

In the headquarters of the Hachi Clan, Narumi led a group of people to the headquarters of the Akao family located in the southern suburbs of Tosika City.

After all the carnival and celebrations the night before, those who were taking a neutral stand and all the other underground forces were much more clear-headed at the moment.

Although the Akao family lost the match the day before and finally acknowledged that Liza would take over them, there was no evidence of it. If the Akao family was determined to act ignorant, Liza might not have a way to deal with them.

After all, the Akao family's biggest loss in the battle was only the Blood Ninja. For a prestigious and huge family like them, they did not suffer much losses.

If the previous battle was just a test, then the arrival of Liza that day would be the real battle.

For a time, many who chose to turn to her the previous day had their very own intentions at the moment. They followed her from far behind with their own people, obviously ready for the opportunity to take action.

Narumi could understand those fence- sitters' thoughts, but he didn't count on them to succeed, so he didn't care about them.

That day's focus was obviously the Akao family’s actions. If they kept their promise and handed the Akao family over to them sincerely, the matter would be easy to deal with. If they went back on their words, a vicious battle might be inevitable.

Thinking of that, even Narumi felt a little nervous.

On the contrary, Liza, who was walking beside Fade at that moment, looked relaxed. There was no pre-war apprehension on her face at all.

The vast group of people arrived at the manor of the Akao family.

At the entrance of the manor, the Akao family had already arranged for the staff members to greet them. When they saw Liza and the others, they were all full of smiles and incomparably enthusiastic, "Our distinguished guests, welcome!"

Looking at the large manor, Narumi was slightly hesitant. He looked at Liza with an inquiring expression.

It was obvious that it was risky for them to enter the manor at that moment. If someone ambushed them, Narumi and the team wouldn't be able to lead a large group into the manor, and they feared that they would be outmatched.

Liza looked at him and she couldn't decide as well, so she shifted her gaze towards Fade.

He looked at the manor and said with a smile, "There's nothing to worry about. It's just the manor of the Akao family. It's not a dangerous place. It's not a big deal to go in and have a look."

Upon hearing this, Liza nodded, indicating that some of them could go in.

Therefore, most of the team members were left outside, and Narumi entered the manor with more than twenty people.

It was obvious that those surrounding Narumi were the elites, and their strengths were at least on par with the intermediate stage of Black Level. Of course, Filex, Eilert, and the others from the investigation team had also changed their clothes and hid among those elites at that moment.

After entering the manor, the group of people went towards the main villa.

Inside the room, Kento sat on the leader's seat in the very center and Taira sat to his left while all the senior leaders of the Akao family were sitting next to him.

"The president, Liza, and Mr. Uchida are here. Please take a seat!" Kento said and welcomed everyone.

He did say that he welcomed them, but at the moment, his facial expression did not show any trace of him welcoming their presence at all.

Such a scene made Narumi's emotions sink and his expression turned solemn.

The group of people sat down. Kento waved his hand and ordered, "Serve tea to the guests!"

Immediately after, servants came up with delicate tea sets and poured each of them a cup of fragrant tea.

However, in such a situation, how could Narumi and the others devour the drinks served by the Akao family at will? They did not take any action.

"The tea doesn't suit everyone's appetite? Then I'll get someone to change it." Kento took the initiative to take a sip of the tea and look at everyone as he spoke.

Upon hearing that, Narumi uttered in a low voice, "Kento, don't dawdle. You know exactly why we are here today. Hand over your real estates, shops, tea gardens and other properties of the Akao family!"

Upon hearing that, the faces of Kento and the others couldn't help but slightly twitch.

Obviously, those things were the foundation of the Akao family, and the foundation for them to maintain their large scale family business. Without financial income, no matter how experienced Kento was, it would be hard for them to recruit a group of people to work for them.

If Narumi wanted those things, it was equivalent to cutting off the foundation of the Akao family's rising again.

Upon hearing that, Kento put down his teacup and asked Narumi, "Why are you in such a hurry, Mr. Uchida?"

Narumi replied mercilessly, "It’s about credibility! Those were what you promised yesterday, Mr. Akao. Now give it to us, and we shall all be at ease."

Kento squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Since I've promised, I'll naturally give it to you. But..."

"But what?" Narumi's eyes narrowed and there was a hint of sternness in them. He knew that things would not go smoothly.

Kento smiled and continued, "Mr. Uchida, you don't have to be nervous. I don't have any intention of going back on my words. It's just that the assets of the Akao family are scattered all over different regions, so it'll take some time to sum all of them together. Therefore, I’m not able to give them to you now."

"Is that so?" Narumi's eyes turned icy-cold as he said chillily, "Since you don't have the time to sort out the assets in the other regions, you should at least have the time to sort out the local assets of Tosika City! At the very least, it’ll be easy to sort out this manor."

Upon hearing that, Kento's gaze turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Mr. Uchida, this manor is the old mansion passed down from the previous three generations of our Akao family. It represents the honour of our Akao family. Mr. Uchida and Miss Liza, are you really going to take away everythings from us?"

"Kento, you don't have to talk glibly. The Akao family admitted defeat and surrendering everything over was what you promised yesterday. If you hand it over now, it's good for both you and me," Narumi answered coldly.

"Mr. llchida, I didn't say that I won’t hand it over. It's just that there are some things that need time to slowly deal with. If Mr. Uchida and Miss Liza are so aggressive, it will only make things difficult for the Akao family!" Kento said.

"Aggressive?" Narumi sneered and his expression darkened, "Who's being aggressive? You should know it clearly. Today, you'd better hand everything over, otherwise..."
