Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 264 Bellamy's Regret
The sudden attack surprised Fujiwara Masato very much. He was very sure that this group of enemies had not appeared in Tokyo this morning.

Fujiwara Masato now has a habit. Every morning when he wakes up, while brushing his teeth and washing his face, he will open the system map to see if there are any glaring red dots in Tokyo.

If so, he would give orders to the cleaning team.

Otherwise, there will be peace.

There were hostile units in other parts of the world, or even in other cities in Japan, but Fujiwara Masato had no control over them and was too lazy to send people to clean them up.

The poker business is everywhere now, and new opponents appear every day, but most of them only hate in their hearts and will not take any real action.

Because these people are ordinary people, their daily expenses are enough to consume all their energy and time.

A small number of enemies who have some power and money can only resent in their hearts but dare not express it in real life because the poker organization can really take their lives.

As a criminal organization, it is natural for the Poker Organization to be hated and hostile. Fujiwara Masato cannot kill all the enemies, nor can he go crazy and kill them all.

Therefore, Fujiwara Masato judged that either these enemies suddenly changed their minds today and became hostile to the poker organization, or they just came to Tokyo today and decided to attack Bellamy and Taniguchi Kotaro within a few hours.

Only in this way can we bypass the monitoring of the system mini-map. Although this thing is not omnipotent, its accuracy is still trustworthy when some people want Fujiwara Masato and the Poker Organization to die.

In addition, this incident also made Fujiwara Masato realize his own shortcomings.

As a relatively important cadre in the poker organization, Kotaro Taniguchi provided great help to the organization in terms of money, intelligence, and connections. Without him suddenly, the poker organization would definitely suffer a huge loss.

If such a loss were to be expressed in monetary terms, Fujiwara Masato felt that his death would cause the organization to suffer a loss of 10 to 20 million US dollars.

For such an important organizational cadre, the poker organization only gave him two street thugs and two pistols.

Although there are always people from the Oshima Group and gunmen from the organization stationed near Kotaro Taniguchi's workplace and home.

If the attacker had not launched the attack on the former on his way home, but had intended to attack him at his home, he would have been discovered before he even got close.

However, all this cannot conceal the lack of bodyguards around an important cadre.

This problem originated from Fujiwara Masato himself. When the organization was early on, there was not enough money, so the bodyguards and staff he arranged for the cadres were all low-level soldiers. When he had money, he forgot about improving the security level of the cadres.

Or maybe Fujiwara Masato had never thought of such a thing, and it was essentially his fault.

Bellamy’s kidnapping was also due to Fujiwara Masato’s fault, but that was only half the problem, because the former only joined the poker organization secretly and was not very happy to have an organized person following him around 24 hours a day.

Therefore, it is difficult for the organization to arrange a personal bodyguard to follow him.

In addition, Bellamy himself is a wealthy man and employs mercenaries from France as bodyguards. Therefore, in order to prevent him from feeling that he is being monitored, the poker organization simply did not assign anyone to him.

This led to the kidnapping incident, in which Kotaro Taniguchi, who was also kidnapped, killed three kidnappers at the cost of sacrificing one person, and Bellamy was captured. He is now...

Well, Fujiwara Masato took a look at all the small green dots belonging to his allies on the small map and found that Bellamy was moving at high speed on the sea.

After ruling out the possibility that this Frenchman has awakened superpowers, the possibility that this guy is on a plane is that the kidnappers must have caught him and brought him on board.

Fujiwara Masato immediately called Huangmao.

"Go check the flights at the airport immediately. Bellamy should be on the plane. His information should be left in the flight system."

With the development of the poker organization, things like checking airplane passengers are no longer difficult. It is just a matter of spending a little money to bribe airport staff and develop them into peripheral members.

Under the current economic environment in Japan, no one can refuse the opportunity to get a second part-time salary, and such peripheral members are cheaper, without even a basic salary, but only get a task bounty for doing a job once.

After all, they don't need to take any action. They just need to move their fingers to check someone's information or arrange certain conveniences for members of the organization. The work is easy and simple.

If you give them too much money, it will make the peripheral members suspicious and scare you to death.

Three minutes later, Huangmao called.

"Boss, bad news. Our personnel outside the airport did not find any information about Bellamy buying a flight ticket or leaving the country. However, the airport surveillance video showed him being carried by someone."

Fujiwara Masato thought about it and immediately issued the second order.

"Check how many private jets appeared at Tokyo Airport today and where they were flying to."

The only plane that could bypass customs and airport lists and still get Bellamy on the plane alive was a private plane.

Of course, packing Bellamy up, tying him up, stuffing him into a suitcase, and transporting him in the narrow cargo hold of the plane is also an option, but it would make it easier for him to die.

Since the attackers did not kill Bellamy but kidnapped him, it proves that the mastermind wanted him alive rather than having a corpse.

In this regard, Fujiwara Masato would like to say that the kidnappers and the mastermind behind the scenes definitely made a wrong choice.

If they killed Bellamy cleanly, or kidnapped him with someone other than a Poker cadre, Fujiwara Masato would not be able to save him and could only retaliate afterwards.

But now they have kidnapped Bellamy, a guy who joined the Poker team somewhat reluctantly and whose loyalty so far has been only passable.

But no matter what, Bellamy is a cadre of Poker. He has sworn an oath to the organization. He is a non-NPC subordinate of Fujiwara Masato and has his own ally unit logo on the minimap.

This means that if Fujiwara Masato wants, he can even refresh NPC soldiers on the plane where Bellamy is and carry out a thrilling hijacking operation.

Forget it, it’s better not to do such magical things.

Just when Fujiwara Masato was daydreaming, Huangmao called again.

"Boss, I checked and found out that there was indeed a private plane that landed at Tokyo Airport today. It took off in the evening and is now flying to Paris, France.

We don't know who owns the plane yet, I need some time to investigate." "Wow, it looks like the person who attacked us is a big shot in France."

Fujiwara Masato laughed. Being able to handle the customs and route applications at Tokyo International Airport and Paris, France in a short period of time was something that someone without money and power could not do.

"When will that private jet land?"

"According to flight information, it will land in Paris in five hours."

Masato Fujiwara opened the mini-map, tentatively clicked on Bellamy's personal icon, then selected a few combat teams for support and tested the team's travel speed on the system mini-map.

Well, five hours is enough for them to get from Tokyo to Paris.

If it weren't for Bellamy, it would be a bit troublesome for Fujiwara Masato's subordinates to go to Paris. They either have to go through the formal visa route, which has the advantage of saving money and time, or the disadvantage of being easily monitored by French customs.

Or you can take the smuggling route, take a boat to the European country closest to France, then walk across the French national line and drive to Paris.

The disadvantage is that this route takes a long time, is slightly troublesome and expensive, but the advantage is that it is safe and not easily discovered by law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

Now that Bellamy has been kidnapped and taken to Paris, can Masato Fujiwara think about whether it is necessary for the poker organization to establish a branch in Europe?

He thought about it seriously and felt that it was time to expand the organization.

The upper limit of development of Japan as a country is not large. Due to the feudal atmosphere, every field of this island country is crowded with people. Even in the field of generic drugs, poker organizations face too many competitors.

As a result, even if Joker Pharmaceuticals has the advantage of low costs, it may not be able to compete legally and reasonably with the old generic drug companies that have been deeply rooted in the industry for decades.

Joker Pharmaceuticals is still developing its business and has not reached a bottleneck, but in the field of generic drugs, the professionals hired by the organization can analyze how much money the poker organization can make in the next few years.

Overall, without large-scale bloodshed, the ceiling of the development of poker organizations in this hellhole of Japan is already clear. The income may be stable, but there is no hope of making a lot of money.

Fujiwara Masato doesn't have much need for money, but he is very interested in playing this kind of long-distance controlled strategic/tactical game, and if he wants to continue playing, he needs a lot of money.

Fujiwara Masato thought about it seriously and felt that it was a good idea to go with the flow.

Success would be great, but failure wouldn't be a big loss either. Bellamy wouldn't have to die, and as long as the rescue team acted quickly enough, he should be able to leave France.

……

Bellamy looked around at the burly men sitting on both sides of him. He was so depressed that when the beautiful big-wavy stewardess in a white uniform passed by him, he had no interest in looking at the latter's white absolute area and the deep cleavage on her chest.

He knew he was dead.

Bellamy knew the man who came to arrest him. He was a member of a famous armed detective agency in Paris, France, called the Leb Detective Agency, which only served members.

It is very easy to become a member of the Leib Detective Agency. All you need is three recommendations from other members, or a one-time membership fee of one million euros to the agency.

The fees of the Leib Detective Agency are very expensive, but the high fees are worth it.

Any official member of the Leib Detective Agency is an elite, either an elite soldier who has retired from the French special forces, or a backbone who has retired from the French special forces.

This has resulted in the regular members of the Leib Detective Agency having strong professional capabilities. Whether it is kidnapping, rescuing hostages, or collecting evidence, their business completion rate has always been above 98%, and they rarely fail.

For the task of capturing Bellamy, the Leib Detective Agency only dispatched two official members and captured the latter.

Bellamy still remembers these two members. They rushed straight into the floor where his office was located, and then killed the six armed bodyguards he hired with a pistol within ten seconds.

With just six gunshots, his six bodyguards fell backwards like wooden men. Each of them was shot in the forehead and died quickly without any struggle. This brought Bellamy great shock and fear.

However, in the midst of fear, Bellamy still had a glimmer of hope, because five minutes ago, he learned from a phone call from a member of the detective agency nearby that they had also sent people to capture Kotaro Taniguchi of Joker Pharmaceuticals.

The latter is the secondary target of the detective agency members. The employer asks them to capture Kotaro Taniguchi and bring him to Paris if they have time. He wants to ask this Japanese man where he gets the courage to go against the Seyard Group.

However, the detective assistants who went to arrest the man failed. Three of the five assistants died and the remaining two escaped, so the arrest mission failed.

Since such a thing has happened, the poker organization must have discovered their situation.

Although his mind told him that there was little hope of being rescued, Bellamy still couldn't help but hope that he could be rescued.

Bellamy knew very well that the reason why he was visited by the people from the Leib Detective Agency could only be that the Worldview Group discovered something unusual in its Japanese branch and sent people to arrest him directly. This must mean that the major shareholders were very dissatisfied and they did not want to use legal means to sue Bellamy.

Send people directly to arrest Bellamy, take him back to Paris for interrogation, try him according to company rules, obtain his shares in the group, and then execute him.

In this world, large groups and communities with a long history all have their own internal rules. In order to protect the rights and interests of major shareholders, they treat the managers below them more strictly, cruelly and unreasonablely than national laws.

Once a small shareholder like Bellamy makes a mistake, his fate will definitely be worse than that of an ordinary company manager, because although the former holds a small number of shares, they are indeed real fixed assets and heirlooms passed down to him by Bellamy's parents.

Before the minority shareholder makes a mistake, the major shareholders, for the sake of their face and the rules they set, will not take action against him at will. They will only suppress the former within reasonable rules and make him give up control of the shares after he can no longer bear it.

When Bellamy thought of this, he felt regretful.

If he had known this would happen, he should have accepted the bodyguards arranged by the poker organization instead of refusing his own security in order to protect his privacy.

You deserve this.

Bellamy couldn't help but raise his hand and slap himself in the face, which attracted the attention of two detective assistants nearby.

"What's up with him?"

"He's probably just pretending to be crazy, leave him alone."
