Sumitomo Ryoko was a smart woman. Seeing that neither of the ambushers could kill the other, she immediately gave up on further scheming and honestly explained the entire circumstance.
Ryoko Sumitomo's grandfather, the current puppet master behind Sumitomo Group. According to her knowledge, there was a force from the US that had made contact with the high-ranks of Sumitomo Group asking for their assistance.
Their task was to kidnap Fang Ye, the head of the Andreas North American Division who was still in Japan negotiating business deals.
They would provide some convenience and not get their hands dirty themselves, in exchange for substantial compensation. This proposition seemed like a good bargain to the executives of Sumitomo Group. After all, their previous business negotiations with Fang Ye had failed and his impolite behavior had greatly displeased Sumitomo's executives, leading them to gladly provide assistance.
