Nobody knew better than Kumada about the reason why the Prince was making so much trouble for him.
The Yamaguchi Syndicate had always been the most powerful faction of Tokyo's illegal circles, but after so many years, they had become bigger and stronger, so the royal family was now wary of them.
If the royal family could take the syndicate under its wing, it would be able to soar to greater heights.
The syndicate would be able to gather more resources and wealth for the royal family, but Kumada didn't like that.
Since this was a matter concerning the illegal circles, then it should be run by the illegal circles according to their rules. Once the legal circle was involved, then more trouble would come their way.
It was one thing to be made use of by the royal family and to become their tool, but the problem was that once the syndicate lost its original character and everything else it stood for, it would become an easy target for other powers in the legal circles.
They would suddenly be faced with so many threats for nothing, and there was no benefit in doing such a thing. Even an idiot wouldn't allow this to happen.
So when he saw that the Prince had offended Sugita and Sugita had fought back and even took photos, Kumada was really beside himself with joy.
"Men! Go and invite Mr Sugita over!" commanded Kumada. "I want to have a drink with him to celebrate! HAHAHA!"
Sugita had chosen to stand on his side and had immediately gone to threaten the Prince. He was going to see if the Prince dared to do anything now!
His men acknowledged his orders and ran out.
Kumada waved his hand and those few figures appeared behind him again.
"I didn't think that Sugita would have so many highly skilled fighters with him, and nobody knows where they came from. Chief, you have to be careful."
Kumada kept a smile on his face, but there was a vicious glint in his eyes.
"Of course I have to be careful."
"Sugita isn't as simple as everyone thinks he is. We've all been fooled."
If those fighters hadn't appeared with Sugita, then Kumada could only suspect this. But since Sugita even managed to push the Prince into a corner, then it meant that the power that Sugita actually commanded was not to be belittled.
If Sugita was pretending all along, then nothing about him could be believed anymore.
That included the whole idea that he had no desires and didn't care for fame and power.
"Things are getting more and more fun now. The Prince will surely take action again, but I'm not sure how he's going to do it. And that Chinese martial artist..." said Kumada. "I'm afraid he's already got his eye on me!"
