Mr. Yamazaki stares at Louis, who looks quite calm. “Aren’t you afraid you can’t leave RB?”
Louis smiles. “I’ve never been afraid of anything before. Mr. Yamazaki, you can have a try. But I have to give you a kindly reminder that you should think twice. Do you want your life or your men?
“Don’t you know there’s an old saying goes as ‘Money makes the mare go’? I happen to be wealthy. If I sponsor the RB police force to clear up the underworld and eliminate crimes, I’m sure they would be quite happy.”
Gazing at Louis coldly, Mr. Yamazaki’s expression in his eyes gradually changes.
It has become a bit scrupulous somehow.
As a junior, Louis dares to say those words to his face without any fear, which shows that he’s not pulling his leg.
Mr. Yamazaki recalls that he has tossed Louis’ business card to the trash after a glance when the waitress passes it to him. He has asked Louis to come in just to find out how they know about ‘QY Plan’.
The trash can happens to be at Mr. Yamazaki’s feet. He lowers his head and sees a gold-plated business card lying on top of trash.
He squints at that business carefully.
“Louis Smith -- CEO of Smith Group.”
Finally Mr. Yamazaki has read the words on the card clearly, cold sweat breaking out all over his body. His gaze on Louis becomes more scrupulous.
The business of Smith Group doesn’t only cover places such as New York and Paris, but also it’s famous in Japan. There are two independently operated enterprises, whose controlling party is Smith Group.
The two enterprises’ business are involved in every aspects of people’s life in Japan. Japanese depend on them very much. If Smith Group suddenly closed those two enterprises, their life would be a chaos, and the government would suffer a huge loss.
His clubs are just nothing compared with Smith Group.
“Mr. Smith, I’m terribly sorry.” Mr. Yamazaki bowed to Louis with a perfect attitude. “It’s my fault that my men had caused such a big trouble to you and Missus. It’s my fault.”
The man is startled when seeing Mr. Yamazaki behaves so, almost forgetting the pain. “Bro, what are you doing...”
“Shut up!” Mr. Yamazaki slaps across his face, the man’s mouth corner bleeding. He’s trembling.
“Haven’t you forgotten my rules? How dare you kill others for money behind my back? You caused the death of seven men! Why didn’t you shoot in your own heart and follow them to die?”
After scolding him, Mr. Yamazaki gave him a violent kick. “Apologize to Mr. Smith!”
The man suffers a lot as his arm has been broken. Now he’s slapped and kicked by Mr. Yamazaki. He’s too coward to utter a peep. Rubbing his legs against the floor, he crawls to Louis and wants to make an apology.
However, Louis doesn’t accept it. With his hand in his trousers pocket and a cold look in his eyes, he takes a few steps back.
“David, go ahead.”
“OK.”
David walks to the man and asks in fluent Japanese with polite wording, “Please tell us the truth. When did the employer find you and in what way did he wire the money to you?”
“About six days ago...” The man takes a glance at Louis, probably knowing that he’s tough nut to crack and Mr. Yamazaki can’t protect him, so he confesses everything.
David is taking notes while listening to him.
Ten minutes later, he sorts out the timeline and reports it to Louis, “I’ve checked the bank of the wire transfer. It’s certain that Seles has done it.
“His men were quite meticulous. INS contacted this man. The account was canceled immediately after they’ve finished talking with him. They didn’t use a real name to register, so no trace could be found. However, there was a flaw when they wired the money. There was thirty million transferred from an account in the name of Erisa Aoshima. Then the same money went to this man’s bank card.”
