An hour later, two private jets took off from Eastcliff International Airport. Over a hundred Schulz family's top combat masters were dispatched to Tokyo.
A storm was already brewing beneath the tranquil city.
When the police officers in Tokyo found out about the entire matter, they were shaken to their core, and it caused a considerable commotion.
They knew that an incident, where more than a dozen were murdered and two kidnapped, was not only vicious but also would most likely be internationally newsworthy. 5
The Tokyo police officers immediately cordoned off Aman Hotel Tokyo. The officers from the Criminal Investigation Department began combing through every inch of the hotel to search for any valuable clues or evidence that they could find.
They first found the cell phone that Jaime had left behind in Sophie's room and Jaime and Yahiko's call history. It wasn't long after that they stumbled upon the exclusive shuriken belonging to the Fujibayashi family's ninja in one of the Schulz family's subordinates’ room. 4
As soon as they found these two pieces of evidence, the police officers were left in an even more confused and frustrated state. 3
The Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, who had personally come to the scene to supervise and lead the investigation, was so shocked that he turned ghastly pale when he received these updates.
He looked at his subordinates before asking loudly in disbelief, "Are you certain that both the Ito family and the Takahashi family are suspects in this incident?"
The chief police officer who was in charge of the onsite investigation respectfully replied. 4
"Superintendent General, I heard rumors saying that both the Ito and the Takahashi family are trying their best to reach a collaboration and partnership with the Schulz family. However, it seems as though the Ito family had fallen behind in the negotiation. That gives a strong reason and motive for the Ito family to take action against the Schulz family." 6
"Furthermore, we discovered a shuriken belonging to the Fujibayashi family in one of the Schulz family's subordinates’ room. So, it could also be possible that the Takahashi family is actually behind this matter, but they are trying to frame the Ito family instead.
Looking at the situation at hand, both these families are suspects..." 4
The Superintendent General seemed to be in deep agony.
"Even the news alone that dozens of people had died i n this hotel today could already cause a global
sensation. Not forgetting the fact that the criminal even used Sarin to assassinate all the victims. This alone was enough for it to be considered a terrorist attack. And those who got kidnapped were none other than the eldest grandson and granddaughter of Oskia's top and most influential family. And right now, at this point, you're telling me that the mastermind behind this series of murder and kidnapping could be one of the two top and most influential families in Japan. How do you expect me t o solve this case?" 5
The other party understood how he felt and could only respond helplessly.
This was not only because the Ito family was their biggest competitor, but also because of Aota's death. Therefore, he could not help but suspect that both of these incidents were directly related to Yahiko. 4
The circumstances surrounding Aota’s death were very uncertain, and it gave Machi the feeling that he was always being watched. Now that both the siblings from the Schulz family have been kidnapped, he naturally attributed Yahiko as the mastermind behind this incident too. 4
Machi suddenly grew very nervous at the thought of this. It sent a chill down his spine.
Yahiko could kill more than a dozen people from the Schulz family, and he even kidnapped the pair of siblings. If that were the case, Yahiko would most likely plot something against him too! 1
If that many people working for the Schulz family could be killed so quickly, this could only prove that the ninjas working for Yahiko were mighty and capable. And with that being said, it was inevitable for him to strengthen his security and defenses. 3
Machi immediately called Masatetsu, who was currently monitoring Charlie. As soon as the call was connected, he rambled on in anxiousness," Fujibayashi, I want the three of you back in Tokyo quickly. Come back right now!"
Masatetsu asked in surprise, "You want us to return to Tokyo now? Mr. Takahashi, you don’t want us to keep tailing Oskian?" 3
Machi replied hurriedly, “I cannot be bothered about him at a time like this anymore. That bastard, Yahiko, kidnapped the Schulz siblings. He is probably going to kill me this time! I want the three of you back; to protect me and ensure my safety!"
