The Return of the High-ranking Civil Servant
Episode 359
As soon as the next day came, everything went smoothly.
Yamaguchi was busy treating the injured and trying to find out the identity of the attacker, and Suho met with Vice Minister Miyamoto before lunch.
Of course, I didn’t meet him at the power station, but called him to Hiro’s mansion.
When Miyamoto finally arrived at the office, Suho, disguised as Hiro, greeted him.
“Are you here?”
“What’s going on this afternoon?”
“Didn’t the Vice Minister say yesterday? He asked me to bring evidence that could possibly bring down Yamaguchi from Sumiyoshi.”
“Are you saying that it is already ready?”
“Of course.”
Suho snaps his fingers.
Then, several servants who had been waiting in another room appeared carrying several boxes.
Inside, there were many documents organized in folders, and when Suho nodded, Miyamoto checked the contents.
They were all Yamaguchi’s crime ledgers taken from Musashi’s safe.
Miyamoto, who realized the identity of the ledger, said with his eyes wide open.
“Where did you get all this?”
“I brought it from Chairman Takeda Musashi’s house. Chairman Yamaguchi is currently missing, but this has not been made known to the outside world.”
“What is that…? Are you bringing it with you?”
“Yes, that’s right. Thanks to that, I was busy all morning.”
“What nonsense… … !”
“Believe it or not, Vice Minister. But paper doesn’t lie. Right now, I have all of Yamaguchi’s black ledgers. They contain information on all sorts of businesses, including human trafficking, drugs, items, and magic stone smuggling. With this, wouldn’t it be possible to mobilize the National Tax Service and the National Police Agency to raid Yamaguchi? I don’t think there will be a better opportunity than this.”
“… … .”
Vice Minister Miyamoto is speechless.
But the most important question still remains.
Before he could say anything, Suho struck first.
“Oh, of course I understand what you are worried about. The reason we haven’t been able to control Yamaguchi until now is because they are a nationwide syndicate. You don’t have to worry about that. I, along with the entire Sumiyoshi, will help you from behind the scenes. So first, let’s start with the Yamaguchi headquarters where the representative position is vacant.”
A neat conclusion.
Even though I’ve laid out the plan to this extent, if you can’t eat it, you can’t help but hear a complaint.
But even so, Miyamoto hesitated to answer right away.
Things were progressing so easily… no, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that a deus ex machina was in effect.
That’s understandable, because the opponent is none other than Yamaguchi.
They are a large-scale crime syndicate with a hundred-year history, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Yamaguchi clan is the reason Japan has implemented restrictive policies regarding the yakuza.
But the man in front of him was dismantling Yamaguchi overnight.
Suho then took out additional documents.
“And these are the documents confirming that the Union will withdraw its Japanese corporation. In addition, we at Sumiyoshi will prove once again that we are a pure organization that has not mixed even a single share with the Union. I will not show off. Please take credit for all of this, Vice Minister. All I need is for the Vice Minister to keep his promise.”
It’s perfect.
So much so that there’s nothing to nitpick about.
Even the wishes aren’t that big.
No, it’s not small, it’s mild.
In fact, if you look at just the image and substance, there is no guild as good as Sumiyoshi.
It’s because he’s from the yakuza, but the chairman is a player on the front lines and runs the raid business more transparently than anyone else, so there’s absolutely no reason for Lee Neung-seong to dislike him.
But… … But even so, there was a strange sense of unease, an indescribable, instinctive rejection.
“… … .”
However, Vice Minister Miyamoto could not refuse in the end.
The man in front of me kept his promise and finished the job the way he liked best.
That’s why I couldn’t help but nod my head at the end of the story.
Because he’s a man who speaks on paper, not with feelings.
“Okay, let’s do that. And regarding Director Ohta and Section Chief Nakamura… … .”
“I’ve already set it all up as Yamaguchi’s doing.”
“……All right.”
“Then we will now start to crack down on Yamaguchi’s subordinate organizations. Please crack down on Yamaguchi as quickly as possible, along with the National Tax Service and the National Police Agency. Oh, and apart from that, I would also like you to take care of the gate bidding in the future. In addition, if possible, we at Sumiyoshi would like to handle the sealed gate as much as possible.”
“… … Okay, I understand. But what are you going to do about Chairman Yamaguchi?”
“I will do whatever you want. If you want me to send him to prison, I will. If you want me to kill him, I will. But wouldn’t it be better to kill him? If someone like Chairman Yamaguchi is alive, even if he is in prison, he will have tremendous influence both inside and outside the prison. It would be better to kill a strong focal point.”
“Okay. Then we’ll deal with that guy later. For now, keep him with Sumiyoshi.”
“Okay. Do you have any other questions or requests?”
“Not at the moment. If you need anything, please ask.”
“Then please take a look. I will send the relevant materials to the place you request.”
The negotiations have been concluded.
Vice Minister Miyamoto left the mansion with some Yamaguchi materials and the Union’s withdrawal documents, and only when he had completely left the mansion did the real Hiro reveal himself.
“That Miyamoto can’t move.”
“It might feel uncomfortable, but theoretically, there’s no way to refute it. And since he’s the type of person who chooses the lesser of two evils, even if it feels uncomfortable, if there are no problems with the paperwork, he has no choice but to accept it.”
Suho speaks calmly.
But, despite Suho’s calmness, Hiro couldn’t help but be amazed at Suho’s handling of affairs.
‘There are people like this, and I dared to think of myself as a genius.’
What a shameful past this is.
Is that why?
When Suho was the vice president of Kim Suho, he would ask for sparring without hesitation, but after learning the whole truth, he couldn’t dare to bring up stories like sparring.

This is because the guardian in front of him felt like a completely different being from himself.
That was when.
Suho checked the time and said with a faint smile.
“I think we’ve taken care of all the urgent matters now… … How about, since we have some time to spare, would you like me to take a look at the map sparring?”
“yes yes?”
“Why are you so surprised? You were my fan, right? Now, you don’t have to hide your skills, so I’ll teach you a trick. Last time I saw you, I thought you’d improve a lot if I taught you a little more, so that’s why I’m telling you this.”
“Are you serious?”
“Of course. This time, I used your face for convenience, Chairman, but now you really have to rely on your talents and be active on the front lines. To do that, you need to have skills.”
Suho said it as if it was a given.
It was never meant to make Hiro feel good.
That’s because he was determined to raise Sumiyoshi to be the best guild in Japan, so he thought it was natural that Hiro should become the best player in Japan.
I really hope so.
If that happens, Suho’s worries and work will be reduced by one.
But unlike Suho’s perspective, Suho’s words were very touching to Hiro.
In some ways, this may seem obvious, but there are many people in the world who do not follow this obvious rule, or even do not understand it.
Hiro, who was speechless for a while due to his great emotion, soon made up his mind.
He said in a determined voice.
“Your Majesty.”
“yes?”
“If it’s okay with you, Suho, can I call you Master… … No, can I treat you as Master?”
“yes?”
“Please allow me. As a swordsman who walks the path of the sword like you, I have seen your true character and sincerity through this incident. And I have already received great teachings from you. I have no other intentions. I have no more wishes, and no one needs to know. Even if it is unofficial, please allow me to accept you as my teacher.”
“that…….”
Hiro was serious about the world.
Maybe that’s why Suho was scratching his head at the completely unexpected situation.
But if you think about it, there’s nothing particularly bad about it.
As the representative of the best guild in Japan and with the best player in Japan as my disciple, my future activities in Japan will be as easy as using the Union.
And Suho decided to agree because he knew what kind of person Hiro was through his past life.
“Okay, let’s do that. But there are some conditions if we become priests.”
“What is it?”
“First of all, I don’t use polite language with my disciples.”
“Oh, of course. Feel free to call me whatever you want.”
“Okay, then let’s do that. And there’s something else you need to know.”
“What is it?”
“I’m more meticulous than you think. Sometimes I’ll ask you to do things you don’t understand. Can you handle it?”
“It’s okay. How could an ordinary person understand the will of a genius? I don’t care at all.”
“Okay. And lastly, I don’t plan on officially taking on disciples unless there’s a special reason. It wouldn’t do any good if this was known to the outside world. Since you said you didn’t mind unofficially, if you agree with this, I’ll accept you as my disciple.”
“Oh, of course, Master! What does formality or informality matter? What matters is the heart!”
“Okay, that’s fine.”
“Thank you, Master!”
“Okay, then go to the training ground and prepare. It was hard for you to pretend to be someone else and act humble, but since we have a teacher-student relationship, I will teach you clearly.”
“Are you sure?!”
“Okay. Really? Go and get ready quickly.”
“Yes, Master!”
A formal priestly relationship.
Hiro runs to the training floor, happy like a child.
Looking at that sight, Suho couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Thank you for your effort!”
The map sparring is over.
It’s definitely a quick learning curve because you can give immediate feedback without being timid.
Since I have to be in Japan for the next few days, I thought I would try to raise Hiro as much as possible during that time.
Suho, who didn’t even shed a drop of sweat unlike Hiro, put down his wooden sword and said.
“If the vice minister contacts me, I’ll send him the information and have the kids on standby so they can be dispatched at any time.”
“Where are you going?”
“I have someone I need to see in private before I start work.”
“Can I ask who you are?”
“No. It’s a personal matter. The Yamaguchi kids will start from Tokyo and head towards Kobe, so figure out your strength on your own.”
“Yes, I understand.”
After finishing speaking, Suho left the mansion first.
Then he entered the subspace house and asked Musashi, who was waiting with a blank expression.
“Musashi.”
“yes.”
“Aren’t all of Japan’s top 4 players in the Yamaguchi Guild?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then, does that include Suzuki Endo, who is currently in third place?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Where is he now?”
Personal commitment.
Now was the time to put an end to this old and bitter grudge.
