Tokyo.
The scorching summer had quietly arrived, and the rapidly rising temperatures prompted people to put on short-sleeved shirts and shorts in the hope of finding some relief from the heat.
However, amidst this blazing summer, a group of people dressed in suits gathered in front of a company building, their cars parked nearby.
As this solemn group of people got out of their cars, pedestrians in the vicinity unconsciously quickened their pace, dispersing to avoid the crowd.
Two burly men wearing sunglasses who stood at the company's entrance immediately sensed that something was amiss. They quickly made their way towards the building to report the situation.
However, a young man standing at the forefront of the crowd was even faster. Like a cheetah, he darted forward in an instant and unleashed a powerful punch like a giant spear.
Simultaneously, the young man's footwork didn't stop, and he followed up the punch with a swift side kick, sending another fleeing man tumbling to the ground in an unceremonious collision between his face and the pavement.
In the lead, a ruggedly handsome middle-aged man made a hand signal. A group of burly men emerged, and two of them took care of the fallen sunglasses-clad men, while the rest followed the two leaders towards the company building.
Upon reaching the company's entrance, the young man nonchalantly used his left hand to knock on the door.
"Bang, bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The incessant knocking on the door seemed to irritate someone inside the building, and finally, a voice of annoyance emanated from within.
"For heaven's sake, are you in a hurry to be reborn?! Stop knocking!"
The door swung open, revealing a blond-haired individual who spotted the crowd outside.
"This is a search warrant. We suspect you of drug smuggling. Please cooperate!" declared the middle-aged man with a wild demeanor as he opened a document and presented it before the blond-haired person. In response, the blond-haired person attempted to flee inside, twisting and turning to escape.
He was fast, But Senichi, who had been prepared on the side, was even faster. He grabbed the blond-haired guy who was fluttering in the wind by the back of his head.
Taking advantage of the guy's momentum to escape, Senichi rushed into the room, then forcefully collided that guy's head with the head of a thug who hadn't yet reacted to what was happening.
"Get them!"
With Senichi's charge, the middle-aged man exuding a wild aura behind him was the first to enter the room and shouted, "We're from the Organized Crime Countermeasures Division! You're under arrest for suspicion of manufacturing and trafficking drugs!"
Although that's what he said, by the time he finished shouting this sentence, he had already kicked away one thug who was about to strike Senichi with a steel pipe. Apparently, the slogan was just for show.
Rumble!
As the men in suits behind him rushed in, the entire room immediately descended into chaos.
Numerous men wrestled with each other, resembling a scene straight out of a high school brawl.
In the midst of this brawl-like scene, Senichi pushed forward the most, and his performance undoubtedly stood out. In an instant, he became the target of gang members' assault.
Soon, a guy wielding a dagger charged toward Senichi, attempting to stab him.
Seeing this, Senichi revealed a sinister smile as his terrifying reflexes captured every move the opponent made.
In a flash, Senichi extended his wrist and twisted it, disarming the opponent of his dagger. Simultaneously, he used his other hand to grab the guy's belt, destabilizing him, and then sent him flying!
"Bang!"
This shoulder throw slammed directly into another thug who was preparing to sneak up on Senichi from behind, sending both of them tumbling.
Before the second attacker could react, a powerful punch struck from the side. Senichi bent low, using his right foot as a pivot to spin around, and deliver a straight punch to the attacker's abdomen.
Seeing the opponent clutching his stomach in pain and falling to the ground, Senichi didn't hesitate. He kicked the two downed men as he swiftly moved on.
Meanwhile, the large men on the side were incredibly fierce, especially the middle-aged man standing next to Senichi, Takayuki Serizawa. He not only knocked down one guy with a single punch but also made quick work of anyone wielding club-like objects who had no defense.
One moment their fist was flying towards him, the next moment he was knocking them down with a powerful punch in return.
Amidst the roars, the chaotic brawl finally came to an end.
In the now calm room, there was no trace of its previous opulence. Instead, it was a complete mess.
This was the headquarters of the "Bloodstained Butterfly" yakuza organization, and it was also the main base of the drug dealers reported by Senzo Ogura for revenge after the arrest of Akira Akashi.
Upon receiving this intelligence from the informant, Senichi once again contacted Takayuki Serizawa, the head of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Division, and they coordinated this operation.
The relationship between Senichi and Takayuki Serizawa's division went back to their recruitment.
Ever since the incident at Moonshadow Island, where they both owed each other favors and worked together on stakeouts, their relationship had been quite amicable.
During the last incident at the arcade when Senichi dealt with Kengo Bito, Takayuki Serizawa personally brought his men to support and assist in handling the organization behind Kengo Bito.
Without their help, Senichi wouldn't have been able to dismantle Kengo Bito's support structure so smoothly.
This time, by calling them for a joint raid, Senichi had effectively dismantled the "Bloodstained Butterfly," a yakuza organization involved in drug trafficking. It was a way to repay their favor.
As for the brawl...
Well, perhaps in the eyes of those who didn't understand the situation, it might seem like a showdown between two yakuza groups, but it was actually just another day in the life of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Division.
Although the upper echelons of the criminal world had been suppressed through joint efforts by the police and other law enforcement agencies, it was not as rampant as it was in the 70s and 80s when government and corporate interests clashed with student leaders and labor union strikes. However, it hadn't completely disappeared.
As an official department dealing with yakuza organizations, they needed to have sufficient strength, and the ability to fight was a top priority. Having a large number of personnel was also a given.
After all, raiding another group's headquarters was not the same as apprehending a common criminal, where you could get away with just three to five officers. You needed a sizable force, sometimes even dozens of people, to secure the area and prevent dangerous criminals from escaping.
These days, you need a substantial team; otherwise, you'd be easy pickings. Those guys are ruthless and skilled in combat. Some of them even carry weapons like knives and guns, and things could turn deadly.
Despite the crackdown on yakuza activities, they still exist, and sometimes you have to deal with them officially, even relying on their intelligence networks.
As an official department dealing with yakuza organizations, they needed the finesse to control these criminals and prevent them from running rampant. That's why Takayuki Serizawa and his team paid a visit, and the other party abandoned their new recruits – it was a matter of saving face.
There was no choice. While it might be embarrassing for the junior members to be ditched, if you didn't save face, the days ahead might become even tougher.
