Inside the room where the leaders of various syndicates were gathered, only the sound of scribbling prevailed as they all watched as the big map of Tokyo slowly filled up with red circles. With each leader taking turns sharing information, they all felt that they're filling up a puzzle.
The incomplete pieces of the puzzle in their hand was slowly beginning to be completed, slowly but surely. As they all contemplated and studied the map, Zamora suddenly noticed an incongruity in the red marks.
As circles and circles appeared, the shape of the suspected territory of the Yakuza started to form like a crescent moon. He looked at the strange formation of Yakuza's territory, then, he shifted his attention towards the space inside the moon shaped territory. As he saw the place inside the crescent moon, a chill ran down his spine. Zamora's expression slowly changed from the initial arrogance and pride, to shock and… fear.
'I can't believe that the Yakuza was this close to surrounding my territory! They may be still far from the border of my gang, but if not from the leader's information, I'm afraid that I'll wake up one day to find my territory up in flames!'
Zamora knew that the Yakuza's forces were slowly heading towards their disputed territory, he knew that their confrontation was on hand, and he even prepared for it. But, he didn't expect that including the disputed territory, the neighboring territory, which he always believed to be a neutral zone due to the police presence, was already taken by them!
'Fuck those bastards!'
Zamora suddenly had the urge to beat up his spies and the person in charge of intelligence. Such a huge blunder almost destroyed them!
'If not for this gathering, I'm almost certainly sure that me, and my territory will be completely destroyed! What is my vice-leader doing? With his brain, he was bound to notice some things going on. I even put him in charge of most of the management of the gang due to his ability.'
Zamora, who always used muscles to solve things, started to use his brain once again. As a leader of an organization, he certainly didn't get to where he is now by using brute force only. He was extremely cunning and treacherous, but the years of stability and peacefulness of his environment started to dull his sharp edge.
'I need to have a meeting after this event, this is a major blunder'
As he was thinking, he was jolt out by the words of Sora
"Since all of us had shared our various intelligence, I think we need to start planning our attack towards their territory. We didn't know exactly where their headquarters were, but I suggest removing the influence of the Yakuza in the territory that's close to our territories."
Sora looked at the various territories of the leaders gathered here and said
"We don't need to destroy them in one attack. It's much better to destroy their known territories first to let them think that we didn't know their hidden territories"
The host of the gathering nodded and said
"You're right, the Yakuza is like a cunning rabbit, they will surely have dug more than three holes to escape once they are pushed into a corner. But, of course, they're more like a demonic rabbit. Utterly terrifying"
Sora nodded and the other leaders also agreed with that plan. Sora then looked at the leaders and said
"Once we've destroyed their known territories, we'll immediately launch an all-out attack on those hidden territories in the map. That will be bound to completely catch them off guard. Even if some escapes, as long a we've managed to destroy most of their forces, they're going to be weakened so much that all they can do is to lay low for a long time"
The leaders nodded and were already starting to daydream of such a day. To destroy the terrifying organization called Yakuza. Then, one of the leaders grinned
"If they are driven to such stage, all we need to do is to search for the survivors until we completely eradicate them"
Sora nodded and attempted to speak, but he suddenly noticed that something was amiss. He suddenly looked towards Zamora who's quietly listening and having a thoughtful expression. He almost couldn't control his emotion from shock and said to him
"Zamora. What are your thoughts about the plan?"
The other leaders also came into senses as they stared at Zamora with stunned expression. They all have the same thoughts
'The sharp tongue Zamora didn't pick a fight with anyone! And he's also being quiet! How strange!'
The Zamora they knew always refutes someone and the way he speaks is like asking for a fight. In other words, he was tactless.
Zamora didn't speak for a while as he observed the leaders in front of him. Then, he scoffed
"I don't have any problem with the plan you all made, but, I will add some things to the plan."
Zamora's expression returned to his usual arrogant and prideful look as he said with a grin
"Since we're going to attack their known territories and leave their hidden territories for a while, were are going to launch an offensive towards the center of the crescent moon"
Sora and the other leaders tilted their heads at his cryptic words. Some of them even looked at Zamora with scorn and laughter. As if he suddenly turned into a madman. Among them, only Sora and the host of the gathering seemed to grasp something as they both looked at the map of the city
The two of them saw the map filled with red, but there's an eye-catching shape in the center. A large crescent moon. Or rather, a mouth of a feline open wide, with its fangs beared, seemingly to devour something. Then, they noticed the area inside the mouth of the crescent moon, or a monster mouth.
Suddenly, their eyes widened as they both looked back towards Zamora shock. From the position of those hidden territories, it's almost certain that the Yakuza is planning to use them as a bridgehead to start a war with the Zamora gang! No, not war, but invasion!
The host and Sora thought that if they didn't convene this gathering, they may find out one day that the Zamora was obliterated!
'How terrifying'
The host and Sora subtly exchanged glances and saw the horror in each other's eyes. To them, it's like resting inside your bedroom where you feel safe, not knowing that the bedroom was a trap all along! Just waiting for the right time to trigger the trap!
'To be able to arrange such an unseen plan can only be made by Oni. Not only her prowess to be feared, but her strategies as well. To Zamora, it's like just living his life as usual. Nothing seemed amiss. Only to find out that there's already a noose in his neck'
The host frowned, he suddenly felt that he involved himself in a troublesome matter that didn't concern him before. But, alas, he already joined and there's no taking it back. The host sighed as he said to Zamora
"That sounds doable. I hope that you all can cooperate smoothy"
