Sakai Takaaki smiled as he sat in a chair by the table with his legs crossed, tapping the documents in front of him with his fingers, humming unconsciously, his expression full of joy.
He felt that his life had only just begun, and becoming the head of the Special Investigation Department was not the true peak of his life.
In the future, he would use the power of the Special Investigation Department to become Japan's hidden ruler.
He did not need other people's respect. All he needed was their fear.
Controlling the Special Investigation Department meant having the power to investigate Japan's officials and major financial conglomerates, and being able to send them to prison at any time for political or economic crimes.
As for what to do when dealing with officials who had no criminal evidence?
Don't be ridiculous. It was impossible to find any official in Japan who had never benefited themselves, unless they had just entered politics and still had neither the strength nor the opportunity.
The other party would only have hidden their criminal evidence very deeply, making it difficult to uncover, but they could never have committed no wrongdoing at all.
"The only problem now is Fujiwara Toru. How can I get rid of him?"
Sakai Takaaki frowned and sank into deep thought.
To achieve his ambitions, he had to have the support of the CIA and Spencer.
So Spencer's enemies were his enemies, and he had to fulfill, or even exceed, any request Spencer made.
This time, that group of armed men had failed to get rid of Toru, and Spencer must have been very disappointed.
And if he could get rid of Toru, he would definitely earn Spencer's appreciation.
"Force can't be used. That guy's martial arts are too ridiculous. Thinking about it, the only way is to start with the people around him."
Sakai Takaaki had never been a good person. To climb higher, he did not mind harming any innocent person.
When he first learned that Toru was Spencer's adopted son, he, a man with considerable power in Japan, had groveled like a pug, completely without dignity.
People like that would be despised by many, but sometimes they would climb even higher.
Just as Sakai Takaaki was lost in thought, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Is Sakai-sensei thinking about how to deal with me?"
Deep in thought, Sakai Takaaki had not noticed that someone was already in his room. Startled, he quickly turned around and shouted, "Who? Who's there?"
In the shadows behind him, Toru's tall figure stood there quietly.
The expression on his face was a forced smile, strange and indifferent, sending a chill down Sakai Takaaki's spine.
And beside Toru stood a slender woman wearing a baseball cap.
However, because her face was hidden beneath the cap, Sakai Takaaki could not immediately recognize who she was.
"Fujiwara Toru? Why are you in my house? Where are the members of the Security Department's action team guarding me?"
When Sakai Takaaki saw that it was Toru, he was inwardly shaken, but on the surface, he tried to stay calm.
"The members of the Security Department's action team? Sakai-sensei, don't tell me you don't know they weren't seriously doing their job and were just going through the motions."
"Otherwise, if there really had been a special action team here protecting you twenty-four hours a day, even if I could deal with them, it would still have been very difficult to sneak in without a sound."
"Speaking of which, I should thank Sakai-sensei. If you hadn't strongly asked the Security Department to respect your privacy, they wouldn't have been this lax."
Toru said with a laugh.
He walked toward Sakai Takaaki step by step.
Sakai Takaaki panicked and shouted loudly, "What are you doing? Don't come over. If you come any closer, I'll call for help."
Toru said teasingly, "Sakai-sensei, you renovated this house yourself, didn't you? Don't you know this room has excellent soundproofing? Even if you scream your lungs out here, the people outside won't hear you."
Sakai Takaaki was filled with regret.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have installed such good soundproofing when he renovated the place, and he should have firmly demanded that the Security Department personnel stay close to him.
Sakai Takaaki was the head of the Special Investigation Department, and in theory, he was answerable only to the CIA.
Even if he appeared to have committed a major crime this time, Japan could not really do anything to him.
If the CIA fully protected him, Japan could only swallow it.
Because of that, Japan's senior officials did not know what Sakai Takaaki's future would look like.
What if Sakai Takaaki ended up completely fine?
At a time like this, if they pushed too hard and blocked him too much, what if Sakai Takaaki survived the crisis and then used the power of the Special Investigation Department to cause trouble for them?
So when Sakai Takaaki used human rights and privacy as excuses to demand that the Security Department not treat him like a criminal, Japan's senior officials turned a blind eye and let him do as he pleased.
As long as Sakai Takaaki did not flee out of fear of punishment, everything was acceptable.
As for his children or relatives and friends being harmed by Sakai Takaaki during the Shuchi'in Academy incident?
These politicians were cold-blooded creatures. Since the children were fine, and they were indeed fine, then profit came first in everything.
Even if some people were furious about Sakai Takaaki's actions, those people were only a part of the whole and had no power to make the decision.
Sakai Takaaki had always been proud of his power and status. Even when there was evidence suggesting that this terrorist attack was connected to him, Japan still did not dare say much.
It was just that Sakai Takaaki had not expected that, in the end, he would also be destroyed by this so-called power.
When he saw Toru take out a pistol, his pupils shrank, and he stumbled back in terror. "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
"If you kill me, Japan will definitely suspect you and investigate you. The CIA won't let you go either. After all, I am one of the CIA's people too."
Toru chuckled. "Don't worry. I'll fake the scene and make it look like you committed suicide out of fear of punishment. As for the CIA, whether I kill you or not, Spencer isn't going to let me off anyway."
"No, you don't have absolute evidence to prove I did this. The evidence will only point to Inoue Akihiko and will be treated as his personal act. I am innocent. If I die, Japan will grow suspicious, and you won't get away either!"
Sakai Takaaki did not know how to make Toru give up on killing him, so he could only spew nonsense.
He did not think Toru would not dare pull the trigger.
This Fujiwara Toru, the number of people known to have died by his hand was already in the hundreds. He was simply a killing machine!
This was modern times. Even in modern times, even soldiers, even on the battlefield, rarely had over a hundred deaths on their hands.
"Sakai Takaaki, you should have guessed it already. I am indeed Spencer's adopted son, but at the same time, I have another identity. I am the head of the CIA in Japan."
"Didn't you figure out my identity back then, which is why you lowered yourself and flattered me?"
"Then you should know that the CIA is very good at fabricating evidence. All the evidence will point to you. You are the mastermind behind everything. You committed suicide out of guilt..."
Toru walked to Sakai Takaaki's side and whispered into his ear, "...Oh right, your child is still in school, isn't he?"
"If you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again. Don't worry. After the heat of this matter dies down, I will send your child, your whole family, down to join you."
"You should be very familiar with the CIA's methods. We always like to keep families together."
Sakai Takaaki's face was full of terror, and he shouted like a madman, "No, please, don't kill my child, please!"
"He is innocent, he doesn't know anything, he is a good child, it's all my fault, I am guilty, I am guilty. If you want to kill someone, then kill me. Please let him go!"
Sakai Takaaki wailed and cried. He knelt on the floor and crawled forward like a dog, trying to grab Toru's trouser leg.
Toru snorted coldly and kicked him away. "You're still not being honest. Even now, you still want to get something off me so that when the police and the Security Department examine your body, they'll realize something is wrong and trace it back to me."
Sakai Takaaki sat on the floor in despair.
That was exactly what he had been thinking just now. He knew the CIA was cold-blooded, and he knew his family would not survive.
Those tearful pleas had been half true and half false. He wanted to see if he could make Toru change his mind.
Even if it didn't work, he wanted to get something from Toru, like a thread from his clothes, and leave evidence for the Japanese police and the Security Department.
But all of it had been seen through by Toru.
Wearing gloves, Toru picked up the documents. There were many names on them, many with the surname Fujiwara, and others were more or less connected to the Fujiwara family.
Toru even saw the names of his older and younger Sisters.
"Let's not even talk about your son bullying classmates at school while no one dares intervene. Even if he really were innocent, aren't the things you're doing right now also framing innocent people?"
"Alright, I don't want to look at your disgusting face anymore. Now, please be on your way, Sakai Takaaki."
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and Sakai Takaaki's body collapsed to the floor, blood soaking into the carpet.
"Kir, fake the scene to make it look like he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and at the same time, shift all the evidence pointing to Inoue Akihiko onto him."
"Don't make the evidence too obvious. Make it a little difficult for the Japanese police and Security Department to work it out. With your ability, you can do that, right?"
Rena, standing in the shadows, said respectfully, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission, Boss!"
Toru nodded slightly and left without looking back.
He easily avoided the sight of the lax Security Department personnel and arrived on the streets of Tokyo.
After taking a few steps, Toru's phone vibrated.
The one who sent him the message was actually Mary.
Akai Mary sent Toru a hotel room number and a sentence.
[Are you free? I want to see you.]
