What they had thought was a foolproof operation had instead ended with the disappearance of the corporate spy. When Fukuda Kosuke received word that the operation had failed, his vision went black and he fainted on the spot.
Later, during the Formula One race, Fukuda Kosuke personally called Futa team manager Matsui Hideo in retaliation against S.H.I.E.L.D. Group, ordering him to sabotage the S.H.I.E.L.D. team and ensure they could not win no matter what.
Matsui Hideo did follow his orders, but in the end, the S.H.I.E.L.D. team still won the championship, while his Futa team suffered devastating losses.
Not only were the race cars wrecked, but both the lead driver and the team manager were seriously injured. They were also implicated in a doping scandal. The Futa team was condemned by public opinion, and Fūtián Group's reputation took a severe hit. Automobile sales in many regions, including Europe and the United States, declined noticeably, resulting in economic losses of more than a billion dollars.
Fukuda Kosuke had originally wanted to secretly trip up the S.H.I.E.L.D. team and prevent S.H.I.E.L.D. Group's influence from growing further, but not only had he failed to achieve his goal, he had also suffered losses on every front!
The team's strongest driver, Sato Suzuki, was completely finished, and he had severely dragged down both the team and the group, causing enormous losses. The team manager had been crippled as well, and the Futa team, having suffered such a tremendous blow, could no longer compete in the remaining races.
Not only had the vast amounts of funds and resources invested in this season gone completely to waste, but they were also hit with compensation claims from numerous advertising sponsors. This was undoubtedly another extremely heavy blow to Fūtián Group!
Fukuda Kosuke had nearly suffered another heart attack
