Chapter 203: Yashida Internal Strife
"Sir, this is probably a misunderstanding!"
When Masao Megure heard Tang Song reveal his identity as a Federal Congressman/Senator, his heart sank, knowing things had gone wrong.
Especially upon hearing Tang Song instruct someone to notify the Federal Embassy and the Federal Command stationed in Japan, Masao Megure instantly felt paralyzed.
He no longer cared about the stinging pain on his face, suppressing the intense feeling of humiliation, and explained to Tang Song in a tone bordering on pleading.
"Misunderstanding!" Tang Song pulled a white silk handkerchief from the pocket of his white suit jacket and wiped the hand he had just used to hit Masao Megure. He wiped meticulously, as if he had touched something dirty.
Masao Megure watched this scene, his eyes bloodshot, but he couldn't afford to care about his so-called pride. He bent his body into a ninety-degree angle and bowed to Tang Song, apologizing repeatedly to express his remorse.
He knew he had been set up this time.
Whether an ordinary Federation Person committing a crime in Japan would be subject to Japanese law depended on whether they had diplomatic immunity. If they had diplomatic immunity, they would not be tried in Japan but would be repatriated to the Federation for trial.
The information Masao Megure had gathered at the Metropolitan Police Department before the mission was that this Ethnic Chinese Federation Person was Mariko Yashida's lover outside of marriage and a Yakuza Leader in the Federation.
*Baka*, a Federal Congressman/Senator. No wonder the Old Foxes at the Metropolitan Police Department had been dragging their feet.
Suspected of murdering the son of the Japanese Minister of Internal Affairs? Forget the Minister's son, even if he had killed the Prime Minister's son, given the weak attitude of the cabinet bureaucrats towards the Federation, they wouldn't dare to try a Federal Congressman/Senator. In the end, they would still have to negotiate with the Federation and hand him over to the Federal Court.
"Sumimasen! Sumimasen!"
At the Old Yashida Estate, Masao Megure led a group of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers in a ninety-degree bow towards Tang Song, continuously uttering apologies.
Sweat dripped from Masao Megure's forehead onto the Ground. He maintained his bowing posture, not daring to move.
If the man before him really contacted the Federal Embassy, or even alarmed the Federal Garrison, the matter would escalate into an international dispute.
Masao Megure knew that in the end, it would be them, the small police officers, who would suffer.
He still had a Wife and Child to support, and a huge mortgage that hadn't been paid off. He couldn't lose his job at the Metropolitan Police Department.
Tang Song slowly and deliberately finished wiping his hands, casually tossing the several-hundred-dollar silk handkerchief onto the Ground. He glanced at the police officers maintaining their bowing posture in front of him.
Putting his arm around Mariko Yashida's waist, he flirted with her for a while as if no one else was present, then led his Bodyguards to the nearby Mercedes-Benz Car.
"*Baka*, he's just a Huaguo person who changed his nationality. What right does he have to act so arrogantly on Japanese soil!"
As if to vent for his superior, a young police officer immediately stood up and cursed loudly in the direction Tang Song's convoy had left, just after it departed the Old Yashida Estate.
"Takagi—"
Hearing his Subordinate's words, Masao Megure quickly shouted to stop him.
But it was too late. The smile that had just been blooming on Mariko Yashida's face vanished. She gave the young police officer a cold look, then turned to the red-haired girl beside her and instructed, "Yukio, tell Department Head Okwada that because of this police officer's insolent remarks, our Yashida Corporation's donation to the Metropolitan Police Department will be halved from now on. Also, tell our affiliated enterprises to do the same!"
"Miss Yashida, Takagi was just momentarily agitated..."
Masao Megure quickly stepped forward to explain for his subordinate. *Clang*. Yukio stepped forward and blocked him, her hand gripping the Katana's Hilt, drawing the Blade halfway out.
Seeing the chilling Katana blocking him, Masao Megure had no choice but to stop.
Mariko Yashida didn't pay any more attention to the police officers. Surrounded by Yukio and a group of Yashida Bodyguards, she returned directly to the Old Estate.
"Takagi, you were too impulsive!"
Masao Megure turned to look at his subordinate, a hint of regret in his Gaze. He knew that with the pressure from Yashida Corporation, this subordinate, a Todai graduate with a promising future, had reached the end of his career.
"Officer, the Ethnic Chinese Federation Person is the biggest suspect in Hideki Takahashi's death, and Mariko Yashida is also involved. Hideki Takahashi was the legitimate son of the Japanese Minister of Internal Affairs; he definitely won't let them off..."
The young Police Officer Takagi saw the pity in Masao Megure's eyes and felt a bit flustered, but he still spoke with forced composure.
"Let's go! Takagi!"
Masao Megure said nothing more, but patted Takagi's Shoulder and led the group of police officers towards the Police car.
Whether it was his imagination or not, Takagi felt that his colleagues, who were usually close to him, were starting to become distant in their Attitude towards him.
"Boss!"
On the Vehicle returning to the Hotel, Tang Song connected with Kane via Video.
"I've arrived in New Mexico and seen the Hammer you mentioned!" Kane's expression was somewhat dejected.
Tang Song smiled and said, "Just by looking at you, I know you couldn't pick up that Hammer!"
Kane grunted, "Boss, after being injected with the Number Zero Serum and awakening the Power of the White Tiger, my Strength can lift a Boeing Aircraft. That Hammer doesn't look big, but I used all my Strength, and it didn't budge! This isn't scientific. Even something weighing hundreds of tons wouldn't remain completely motionless when I use all my Strength!"
"Scientific!" Tang Song crossed his legs. "The Power of the White Tiger you awakened can't be considered scientific either. That Hammer is Mjolnir from Norse Mythology. The Hammer Head was Forged from the core of a decaying Planet, and the Hammer Handle is a branch from Yggdrasil. It's said to weigh as much as a Planet!"
"Asgardian Magic has been cast on it, so it's normal that you can't lift it!"
"Mjolnir? Boss, are you saying this is Thor's Hammer from Norse Mythology?"
Hearing Tang Song's words, Kane couldn't help but look back at the Sand Dune not far away. A crane had appeared there at some point, and a Big Beard wearing a Safety Helmet was trying to lift the Hammer with it.
"Boss, are the stories in Norse Mythology all true?"
"Half true, half false. Asgard is outside of Earth. You can view them as a group of powerful Aliens," Tang Song said.
"Boss, with Mjolnir suddenly appearing here, does that mean those Norse Gods will appear on Earth..." Kane clenched his Fist, eager to try, seemingly wanting to test the Strength of those legendary "Gods".
"That's also why I sent you there. Keep a close eye on it. If there's any unusual movement, notify me immediately!"
"Yes, Boss!"
Hanging up the Video, Tang Song leaned back in his Seat, rubbing the Black Jade Thumb Ring on his thumb, Resting Eyes.
Mjolnir, Thor.
