Nokaze didn't state things very clearly, but what he was implying was clear.
Nobody knew what would eventually happen to Lance's sister, and the final decision lay in the hands of the person who eventually took over the syndicate.
Their attitude towards the Salo family was different, and that would decide what each person would do in the end.
Sugita just smiled and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking about.
He looked at Nokaze. "How interesting. A woman turns out to be so important."
He nodded and got up.
"Ok, I got it, I won't disturb you anymore." Sugita got up and left without saying anymore.
Nokaze's gaze started to shift slightly as he watched Sugita walk away.
He knew what sort of person Sugita was. Sugita was afraid of trouble and didn't want to be involved in this power struggle, and that's why he refused to take a side.
But the position he was in was a position that was important to both the Chief and the Prince.
That was the closest the Yamaguchi Syndicate could get to ordinary folk in the country, so neither would give up that position. Sugita didn't want to choose now, but he would have to make a choice eventually.
Sugita left the headquarters and his expression was grim.
The situation was more complicated than he imagined. The Chief and the Prince were fighting for control of the syndicate, and were essentially trying to be in control of the syndicate's future.
But what had that got to do with this woman from the Salo family?
Sugita really didn't get it. Capturing her was as good as offending the Salos. They were a major Third World power!
Regardless of whether the Chief or the Prince got what they wanted at the end of this power struggle, offending the Salos wasn't good news to them.
Sugita really didn't understand what they were thinking about.
He returned to the shrine to see Jiang Ning feeding Lin Yuzhen food. He sat down and couldn't help but clutch his head.
