Chapter 3341: Chaotic Situation

When the person in charge of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department learned from Mitsui Yoshitaka that hundreds of assassins were on a killing spree at the Tokyo Dome, attempting to assassinate the world's top pop star Tavana Sweet, his vision went black and he urgently asked: "Mr. Mitsui, could you give me a detailed update on the situation? Are there any casualties?!"

Mitsui Yoshitaka, having been slighted by Ye Chen the previous night, finally seized the chance to vent, shouting into the phone: "Damn it! Over a hundred people are already dead, and you're still asking if there are casualties! I'm telling you, if the Metropolitan Police Department doesn't hurry over, just wait to collect the corpses of me and Miss Tavana!"

The person in charge was startled into a jump—what does it mean to have over a hundred casualties? Anywhere, that would qualify as a terrorist attack, right?

The key point is that this time is different from the previous Tokyo brawl, which also had many casualties.

In the previous Tokyo brawl, although many people died, the deaths were relatively scattered, and the perpetrators were different each time.

The Matsumoto family killed the Su family's bodyguards and members of the Takahashi family, the Takahashi family then killed many of Ito Takehiko's subordinates, and nearly took out Ito Takehiko himself.

As for Ito Takehiko surviving, he then thoroughly dealt with the Takahashi family.

Meanwhile, the Matsumoto family was wiped out, the perpetrators being assassins brought from Huaxia by the Su family; these assassins were about to escape at the airport when the police swooped in and arrested them all, the only embarrassment being that Su Ruoli managed to escape.

Such mutual casualties were later treated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department as separate independent cases, each handled individually, so overall there wasn't too much of a stir in the public.

But hearing Mitsui Yoshitaka's report, with casualties numbering at least over a hundred, I fear my official hat may not be saved!

If Tavana dies in Tokyo, I fear I can only commit seppuku or hang myself!

In desperation, he immediately said: "Mr. Mitsui, please hold on a little longer—we are mobilizing all police forces to rush to the Dome for support right now!"

Immediately, dozens of police helicopters from across Tokyo took off swiftly, heading for the Dome.

At this moment, the Dome had already become a complete tangled mess.

The Yamaguchi-gumi and Inokawa-kai were exchanging fire, each suffering casualties, so both sides directly piled up their fallen brothers into makeshift fortifications; for a time, neither could do anything to the other, so they could only occasionally take blind potshots in the dark.

The Inokawa-kai also realized they were at a disadvantage due to the lighting on their side, so they simply went all in—several gunners raised their weapons and shattered all the lights.

Thus, both sides were plunged into darkness; the Yamaguchi-gumi lost their advantage of blind firing, and for a time, breaking out seemed hopeless, so they could only huddle behind corpses, cursing the Inokawa-kai for lacking martial virtue, insisting they were truly trying to withdraw and had not even obtained the dark flower, yet the Inokawa-kai simply wouldn't believe it—no matter what was said, they refused to believe.

When the stalemate set in inside, Japan's most mysterious assassin organization, the Qing Stone Alliance composed of top mercenaries, had already dispatched personnel to arrive at the Dome.

This organization has long accepted assassination orders through the underground network; as long as the payment is sufficient, there is no one they dare not kill.

Upon receiving news of the one billion dollar dark flower, they immediately mobilized all their members hidden in Tokyo.

The first to arrive at the Dome numbered twelve in total; these twelve were fully armed, and upon reaching the Dome, they discovered the unusual situation inside.

Looking inside from the entrance, the interior was pitch black, but gunfire and the sound of mutual insults never ceased, as if two factions were locked in a stalemate.

Thus, the team leader said to the others: "You wait outside the entrance; I'll sneak in quietly to check the exact situation inside!"

One person hurriedly said: "Captain, the situation inside is complex, with gunfire still ongoing—going in alone would be dangerous; why don't we all go in together?"

"No need," the captain calmly replied: "Since a stalemate has formed inside, it must be a standoff between outsiders and insiders; these outsiders are focused on the interior, and with the pitch-black darkness inside, I can slip in unnoticed during the chaos—no one will notice me, and with my night-vision goggles, I can go in first to clarify the situation."

Saying that, he added to the others: "We don't have the numerical advantage, so we certainly cannot act rashly; wait until I clarify the situation, then we'll all go in together."

Upon hearing the captain's analysis, which made perfect sense, everyone stopped objecting.

The captain then instructed them: "You must be careful and cautious—if anyone comes, do not expose yourself first; immediately report to me! Any action must be approved by me—understood?"

These well-trained assassins, unlike the reckless Yamaguchi-gumi and Inokawa-kai, and with extremely strong organizational discipline, immediately signaled with hand gestures to the captain that they clearly understood his requirements.

Thus, the captain put on his dual-eye night-vision goggles, pressed himself against the wall corner at the entrance, and quietly slipped inside.

At this moment, inside, both sides were still emulating the trench warfare of the Allies and Central Powers in World War I, each hiding in their own positions and firing at the other.

When the captain, using his night-vision goggles, saw the situation inside, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

It wasn't that he had never seen the world before, but he had indeed never witnessed such a bloody scene.

Using corpses as cover, blood flowed like rivers across the ground, casualties on both sides were countless—truly brutal to an excessive degree.

Those Inokawa-kai members noticed him not at all; at this moment, they were still actively brainstorming countermeasures, with someone even suggesting to the leader: "Big brother, if we can't hold out, let's just retreat, get a few vehicles, and drive straight in! Attack from both ends, with rear vehicles providing gunfire—no matter who's in the middle, they're bound to die without a doubt!"

The leader nodded heavily, then in the dark gave him a hard slap, cursing: "Damn it! Why didn't you say such a good idea earlier!"

The man covered his face, aggrieved, saying: "I... I only just thought of it!"

The leader, thinking of how many of his underlings he had lost, gave him another hard slap, cursing: "Damn it! Next time, think faster!"

Having said that, he immediately ordered: "Quick! Send a few people out to get vehicles!"

When the Qing Stone Alliance captain heard they were going to get vehicles, he was also somewhat inspired—this passage is at least two meters wide; driving a few off-road vehicles bumper-to-bumper in, even if the front personnel and vehicles are shot, the rear vehicles can push them forward; in such a passage, it would be an absolute crushing advantage.

Just as he was about to retreat to notify his subordinates, a voice came through his earpiece: "Not good, Captain—many vehicles are coming, at least fifty or sixty!"

It was the Sumiyoshi-kai arriving.

As one of Tokyo's three major syndicates, the Sumiyoshi-kai naturally did not want to miss such a lucrative opportunity.

At this moment, seeing the numerous vehicles parked haphazardly outside, the Sumiyoshi-kai members realized someone had beaten them to the punch; just then, a street-level lackey spotted one of the vehicles, turned to the squad leader in the rear seat, and said: "Big brother, the Yamaguchi-gumi people have already arrived—I saw Kameda Masao's car."

The leader frowned and said: "The Yamaguchi-gumi moved this fast! Judging by this momentum, at least several hundred people have come, while we've only brought under two hundred—we're probably no match!"

The lackey asked: "Then what should we do now?"

The leader, quick-witted, said: "Don't rush to close in—use the vehicles to completely block the exit, bumper-to-bumper in an arc, we'll hide behind the vehicles and wait for them to come out; when they do, no matter who it is, as soon as they show their head from inside, we'll fire!"

"Great idea!" the lackey nodded vigorously; dozens of vehicles did not approach the entrance but instead directly used vehicles to form a large semicircle at the exit.

Even the eleven Qing Stone Alliance assassins hiding in the dark were swept into the encirclement.

They immediately reported to the captain: "Captain, they've sealed off the exit!"

Upon hearing this, the captain, who had originally wanted to urge his subordinates to rush the vehicles in, now dared not let them act rashly.

At this moment, over ten Inokawa-kai lackeys had already begun running outward, preparing to get vehicles.

When they just poked their heads out of the entrance, the Sumiyoshi-kai lackeys immediately hid behind vehicles and opened fire on them.

These people had no idea there was an ambush outside; one encounter and roughly half were taken down.

Seeing their comrades ahead fall from gunfire, those behind panicked and scrambled backward, shouting while running: "Big brother, it's bad! There's an ambush outside! We've lost nearly ten brothers!"

"Damn it!" the Inokawa-kai leader fumed: "Who dares to oppose our Inokawa-kai?!"

The lackey was also dazed: "I don't know, big brother! I hadn't even cleared my view of the opposition when they shot me back!"

"Damn it!" the leader angrily said: "Maybe it's another syndicate—we're caught in the middle!"

Hearing this, the Yamaguchi-gumi leader shouted: "Damn it, we've been caught in the middle all along! Inokawa-kai brothers, we should now join forces to break out—charge out first, then talk!"

The Inokawa-kai leader drew his gun and blindly fired toward the Yamaguchi-gumi, cursing: "Damn you, you really think I'm an idiot?! You've definitely already taken out Tavana, said all that just to seize the chance to escape! I won't let you succeed! If you've got the guts, try breaking out—see if my bullets can't finish you!"
