In just a single day, so much had happened since the General President took office that the rapid succession of changes left everyone reeling.

That morning, a whole string of people had been arrested. The lower-ranking members had assumed there would be a major crackdown, and anyone with a record had been planning to lie low. Yet before lunch was even over, they had all been released, apparently after some shady deal with the Metropolitan Police Department.

Then, before the afternoon was even over, the Nura Group was gone.

The people who had been packing their things to run suddenly thought, Something has to happen this time, right?

Yet nothing happened at all... The Huai Shi Group effortlessly swallowed every last one of the Nura Group's assets. From beginning to end, it went as smoothly as though both sides had rehearsed it countless times.

Before the evening banquet even began, fresh news was already circulating among the Gokudō.

"Hey, heard about the Nura Group? Yeah, the boss died and they got annexed. Right, right, that one. Actually, the Nura Group's Wakagashira and executives had already joined the Huai Shi Group long ago. Their boss had been sidelined ages ago! Think about it—how else could it have gone so smoothly? They didn't even shout a single slogan about revenge before surrendering across the board. Ah, that poor boss. He died a clueless fool. Tragic..."

Amid all sorts of messy rumors, some people even vividly described how Huai Shi had barely stepped through the door before his mighty presence shook the room, causing the Nura Group's Wakagashira to draw his gun, shoot his own boss in the back, and kneel to surrender. They spoke as though they had been there and witnessed it firsthand. It could not have sounded more real.
