"Yes, I am here, Mr. Tano. I will arrange it right away and contact Mr. An to purchase weapons. However, as you know, Mr. Tano, because Mr. An refused to cooperate with the Tano family, if we want to buy weapons, we must add one percent to the original price, otherwise Mr. An will refuse to do business with us."
When this matter was brought up, Tadashi became angry.
If it weren't for the fact that Takeshi Tano didn't handle things properly, why would Mr. An refuse to do business with them?
It was all because of Takeshi Tano's bad attitude and the Tano family's trouble-making outside that they offended Mr. An, which led to Mr. An's unwillingness to do business with the Tano family.
If it only harmed the Tano family themselves, that would be one thing, but Mr. An, although he didn't directly say he wouldn't do business with the Tano family, simply increased the transaction price by one percentage point compared to others.
If it were cash, Taza Dai wouldn't have said anything—after all, the Taza Dai family could certainly come up with that much cash. But Mr. An specifically requested a gold transaction.
Damn it, even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. The Tasa family really used all their resources to acquire a portion of the gold this time.
How could he have imagined that the Tianye family would secretly cause so much trouble behind the backs of the Tianzuo family?
Human hearts can grow cold. And Takeshi Tano himself pushed Daiya Tasaya away from his side.
"I've also prepared some gold. When you come over, take all of it with you and use it to buy weapons. We don't have much time. As long as Mr. An's goods can be delivered to Japan on time, everything will be fine."
Takeshi Tano has no idea what Daiya Tasa is really thinking, otherwise the two of them would have fallen out long ago, how could they possibly continue to coexist peacefully?
"I understand, I'll go pick it up tomorrow. But Tano-kun, what about the Takahashi family—"
"Don't worry about the Takahashi family. Even if Mr. An agrees to do business with them, so what? We don't have that much gold, and the Takahashi family can't possibly raise enough. This is the perfect opportunity to completely crush the Takahashi family and ensure they never have a chance to rise again!"
Want to replace the Tianye family? We'll see if they have the ability!
Tadashi hesitated for a long time, but in the end he couldn't bear it, so he tried to remind Takeshi Tano, which was also a way of giving himself a chance.
Unfortunately, Takeshi Tano interrupted Daiya Taza as soon as he mentioned the Takahashi family, completely ignoring what Taza was trying to say.
Taza Daiya sighed silently to himself.
It was all about timing and fate! He had tried to remind Tano Takeshi, but Tano Takeshi repeatedly interrupted him, ruining everything.
Daiya Tasa finally hung up on Takeshi Tano.
Since we've already gone our separate ways, there's no need for me to give Takeshi Tano any more chances. This time, I'm going to eliminate him completely.
Tano Takeshi finally felt relieved, and he truly breathed a sigh of relief.
After personally inspecting the warehouse where the weapons were stored and confirming that they were all intact, Takeshi Tano went back to his room to sleep.
This time, he was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
That night, some people slept very well, while others didn't sleep well at all.
Taiya Taza arrived at the Tano family home after dawn.
He came to collect the gold. Although the Tano family didn't have much gold to offer, every little bit helps, so Taza took all of the Tano family's gold without hesitation.
Takeshi Tano waited in his office for good news from Daiya Tasa.
But Takeshi Tano didn't receive any good news from Daiya Tasa. Instead, he received other news first.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again!"
Takeshi Tano stared at his secretary in shock, completely disbelieving what he had just heard. He picked at his ear, wondering if he had misheard due to nervousness.
"Tanno-kun, I just received news that the Takahashi family has officially signed a transaction agreement with Mr. An. According to inside information, the Takahashi family is not purchasing ordinary weapons, but two missiles."
A hint of sympathy flickered in the secretary's eyes.
He knew that Takeshi Tano dared not and did not want to believe what he was saying. But now, the news had spread throughout Japan. The military already knew that Takahashi Somoku would be returning with two missiles.
With such powerful weapons as missiles in the lead, the batch of weapons that the Tianye family had painstakingly prepared could not play their due role at all.
After swaying twice, Takeshi Tano slumped into a chair.
"Quickly, contact Mr. Tian Zuo and tell him not to go and negotiate with Mr. An!"
Takeshi Tano's vision went black, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He hurriedly shouted loudly to his secretary.
Since they could no longer compete with the Takahashi family, they couldn't afford to use so much gold to buy weapons. They had to use it for something else. Money was absolutely essential to preserving the family, and this much gold was the only way for them to survive.
As soon as the secretary picked up the phone as instructed by Takeshi Tano, Tano couldn't hold back any longer. He rushed over and snatched the phone from the secretary's hand, saying, "I'll make this call. You can go now."
After waving to his secretary, Takeshi Tano focused all his attention on the phone. Listening to the constant busy tone from the receiver, his anxiety rose and fell.
He couldn't help but stomp his feet and shout in his mind: "Taza Daiya, answer the phone already!"
Time seemed to pass very slowly at this time, and Takeshi Tano even felt as if each day was an eternity.
It was only a few seconds, but the waiting felt like years had passed.
Finally, Daiya Tasa's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Tanno-kun, is there something you need?"
Taza Daiya's voice carried an inexplicable hint of indifference.
However, Takeshi Tano was preoccupied with other matters at the moment, so he didn't notice any difference in Daiya Tasa's tone compared to usual.
"Takahashi Somoku bought two missiles from Mr. An. Come back first, don't use the gold to buy weapons!"
"Takeshi Tano said urgently."
Now that they can no longer compete with the Takahashi family, the only thing they can do is minimize their losses and absolutely cannot spend any more gold on arms purchases.
"What? But, Tano-kun, I already made a deal with Mr. An and handed over all the gold to them!"
Tadashi Taiya's slightly nervous voice came through the microphone.
Takeshi Tano's face turned extremely ugly.
He never expected that he would be a step too late.
He seemed to have lost all his strength, and slumped to the ground, even dropping the microphone.
All he could see was a white blur.
That's it, it's really over. He obtained enough weapons, but such an achievement was completely overshadowed by those two missiles.
With the rise of the Takahashi family, they will certainly not miss the opportunity to strike at the Tano family.
Hehe, hehe, hehe...
The entire office echoed with Takeshi Tano's desperate laughter.
After hanging up on Takeshi Tano, Daiya Tazama looked at Soki Takahashi sitting opposite him.
"Takahashi-kun, now that Tano Takeshi has all the gold in my hands, do I still need to give him a lot more weapons?"
When he decided to betray Takeshi Tano, Daiya Tasa had already made preparations.
Therefore, they took away all the gold that the Tianye family had gathered early in the morning.
To gather enough gold, the Tano family had already used up their savings. This gold was all taken away by Daiya Tasaka, and now, Tasaka has explicitly told Takeshi Tano that all of it has been used to buy weapons.
At this point, what Tano Takeshi wanted most was not weapons at all.
Unfortunately, one wrong step leads to another. Even now, Takeshi Tano is unaware that his most trusted advisor, Dai Tadashi, has also betrayed him.
"No need. I have another batch of weapons. You can take them to Tian Yewu. He will deliver all the weapons to the military region's warehouse within the specified time. Then, everything will be in my hands. I'll also give him another surprise."
Takahashi Somoki was very happy, so he didn't hold back in telling Tasa Daiya some of his plans.
Taza Daiya's heart skipped a beat.
He was now glad that he had chosen to betray Takeshi Tano and stand on the side of Takahashi Somoki.
The Taza family might be scorned, but as long as the Taza clan is preserved, there is still hope for a resurgence. But if they fall now, that would be true annihilation, with no chance of recovery.
Takahashi Somoku had already planned all of this. Under his current circumstances, Tano Takeshi simply wouldn't have the mind to pay attention to so many schemes. Furthermore, with Tadashi Sadai also involved, working in cahoots with Takahashi Somoku, it's likely that even if Tano Takeshi is ousted from power, he won't be able to believe how all of this happened.
"Takahashi-kun, that's a brilliant plan."
In the end, all Tasao could say was this:
With someone as cunning as Takahashi Somoki, it was only a matter of time before Tano Takeshi fell from power.
Takahashi Somoku didn't speak, but chuckled, picked up his teacup, and gestured for Tasaka Daiya to drink some tea.
Jiang Nian also received news from Tian Yewu immediately.
Touching his chin, Jiang Nian sighed, "It turns out that even the strongest partnerships can become precarious when faced with vested interests. I thought that Tadashi would never betray Takeshi Tano."
Zhou Zhou sat beside him and remained silent upon hearing Jiang Nian's remark.
These things were not within his consideration. He only needed partners. He would sell the weapons to whoever offered the highest price, without caring what the recipient would do with them.
Yuriko stood on the stairs, holding a pair of pants in her hand. Listening to the conversation between Zhou Zhou and Jiang Nian, her face turned deathly pale, and she almost couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Yuriko's voice drew Jiang Nian and Zhou Zhou's attention to her.
Zhou Zhou frowned.
He wasn't too happy when Jiang Nian brought Baihezi back, fearing that Jiang Nian might do something rash for the sake of a woman at this time.
Although Yuriko is just a pretty girl, it is precisely because of this that when purity and allure coexist in one person, it is hard for any man to resist such temptation.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just... Mr. An's pants were torn, and I had just mended them. I came to see Mr. An. I... I didn't hear what you were saying."
Unsteady on her feet, Yuriko stepped down the stairs and approached Zhou Zhou and Jiang Nian, explaining anxiously.
Because she was in such a hurry, she stammered through every sentence.
As if afraid that Jiang Nian wouldn't believe her, Yuriko suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Nian and threw herself into his arms.
A fragrant scent of orange blossom wafted over. Jiang Nian looked at Baihezi, who was still shivering in his arms, and remained silent for a long time.
"Humph!"
After giving a cold snort, Zhou Zhou turned around and went upstairs.
"Miss Yuriko, please don't worry about it. I know you didn't mean any harm; you just wanted to help me with something."
Since your pants are torn, just throw them away. I'll have someone send you new ones.
You're a delicate girl, so you shouldn't be doing needlework.
It would break my heart if I hurt you.
Jiang Nian gently helped Baihezi up, pressed her shoulders to make her sit on the sofa next to him, and then spoke slowly and gently.
Under Jiang Nian's extremely gentle gaze, Yuriko's cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian eventually took the pants that Yuriko had mended back to his room, amidst Yuriko's shy gaze.
Upon entering her room, Jiang Nian removed her mask, revealing a face devoid of gentleness, only cold sternness.
The struggle between Takeshi Tano and Somo Takahashi seems to be coming to an end so simply.
But Jiang Nian felt that things were going too smoothly.
Takahashi Somoku is different from Tano Takeshi. Takahashi Somoku is only in his early thirties and has already taken over the Takahashi family. He is relatively young and decisive, but he is also less thorough in his thinking on many things.
Takeshi Tano is different. Tano is now over fifty years old, and he won't be in his current position for many more years. He considers everything comprehensively.
This time, Jiang Nian had to sell two bombs to Takahashi Sumu to completely suppress Tano Takeshi.
Unfortunately, victory came too quickly. Could Takeshi Tano, who had spent so many years immersed in officialdom, really make such an obvious mistake?
Yuriko appeared by his side at this crucial moment. Although the results of various investigations matched Yuriko's situation exactly, Jiang Nian had a feeling that Yuriko was not a simple woman. (End of Chapter)
