He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

207. The Saint Cloths and Saint Swords placed in the warehouse

He had a gunshot wound on his shoulder, both arms were swollen and bruised, there were purplish blood clots under the skin of his chest, and his mouth was full of blood.

The air was filled with the smell of blood and roasted meat.

Hoshimiya Shio was utterly astonished. How could Shirakawa have turned into such a grotesque sight after only one day?

Aunt Mido and Rin Hoshimiya followed closely behind.

"Ah! Shirakawa-kun!" Aunt Mito exclaimed in surprise, and immediately knelt down on the ground.

He used his hand to check Shirakawa's breathing.

"Still breathing!"

"Quickly call medical personnel over," Hoshiguchi Shio hurriedly instructed the security guards behind her.

Although she appeared calm and collected, she was actually starting to panic.

How did he end up at the Nagasaki Clubhouse, on the territory of the Takesakura Club?

The room also contained all sorts of "torture instruments" of various sizes, none of which Hoshiguchi Xi recognized.

It was here that Shirakawa suffered inhuman treatment and torture.

"Shirakawa, Shirakawa-kun!" Kana looked at Shirakawa, who was covered in wounds, and didn't know where to touch him. She could only call his name anxiously from the side.

"I'm sorry, Auntie is late..."

Kana felt extremely guilty and regretful. If she and Shirakawa had stayed together, perhaps Shirakawa wouldn't have been so badly injured.

Suddenly, she noticed a large, scarlet spider, about half the size of a hand, crawling on Shirakawa's body.

She quickly reached out and swatted it away.

"Uh-huh!"

what sound?

It sounds like a woman's moan...

Hoshino Yui heard it too. They glanced around and found that there was no one else in the room.

At this moment, Miike and Matsushima covered their heads and swayed as they stood up, leaning against the wall for support.

I feel a little dazed.

They had no recollection of how they got there or what they had done.

I could only smell a strange, fishy smell on my face.

Hoshimiya noticed that Matsushima was still holding her silver revolver.

Shirakawa had a gunshot wound in his shoulder.

Hoshimiya Shio stormed up to Matsushima and snatched her pistol. Hoshimiya Rin, who was behind her, rushed forward and shoved the still-stunned Matsushima back to the ground.

"Matsushima!" Enraged, Hoshimiya Shio pressed a revolver against Matsushima's forehead.

"W-What are you doing? Hoshimiya Shio, what are you doing here?" Matsushima still didn't understand what had happened.

Hoshimiya Shio pointed to Shirakawa, who was lying there on the verge of death.

"Shirakawa? How could he..."

"Stop playing dumb! Tell me, what did you do to him?"

"I...I don't know," Matsushima said, sounding quite innocent.

Miike, seeing Shirakawa lying on the ground, also approached in disbelief.

"How, how could it be?"

Miike's hands couldn't stop shaking.

Enraged, she turned around and saw Matsushima lying on the ground.

He clenched his fist and charged at her.

"Calm down, woman." Hoshiguchi Shio didn't want anyone to interrupt her interrogation.

Miike and Hoshimiya Shio have never officially met and do not know each other.

However, the hypnosis that Miike had been under from Shirakawa's pocket watch long ago was also dispelled by the aftershocks of Catherine's attack.

She then remembered that she seemed to have seen this woman on the camera before; she was the baby girl that Shirakawa had brought home.

Hoshimiya Shio exuded a terrifying aura, and she was still holding a revolver in her hand, so Michi didn't approach her for a moment.

After all, the one with the gun pointed at him was the ruthless gang leader Matsushima.

Doctors and medical staff in white coats rushed to the scene, wearing white masks and carrying Red Cross medical kits, stethoscopes, and other medical equipment. They surrounded Shirakawa and gave him emergency treatment, including several injections of cardiac stimulants.

It wasn't until the doctors lifted Shirakawa up that the others saw the horrific sight on his back.

The skin was carbonized, and the black scabs and blood had mixed together, forming a mess.

Upon seeing this horrific scene, Mitsukana screamed in terror.

She had only been away from Shirakawa for a few hours...

It's only been a few hours!

After the medical staff provided basic treatment, the lead doctor, seeing Shirakawa's pitiful state, sighed and ordered the other doctors to stop treatment.

"Master, although this person is still breathing and has a heartbeat, judging from the extent of his injuries, he is probably beyond saving..." The leading doctor, wearing a mask, shook his head.

"Even if he dies, he should die in the hospital. Gather all the doctors under the Hoshimiya family to treat him. If he dies, all of you are fired!!!"

"Yes, Master."

The doctors placed Shirakawa on a stretcher, and he was escorted out by the security personnel behind him.

No sooner had they left than the members of the Takesakura Gang flooded into the second floor of the Nagasaki Club, filling the lobby. Several core members rushed into the private rooms, and even other members who were out collecting debts hurried back, confronting the security guards on the outer perimeter of the Nagasaki Club's commercial street.

Whether they were from the Hoshimiya family or the Takeoka family, everyone who needed to draw their guns drew their guns, and everyone who needed to draw their knives drew their knives.

Their sharp edges are fully revealed, and a major battle is about to break out.

"I'll ask you one last time, Matsushima, what exactly did you do to Shirakawa?"

"I... I don't remember." Matsushima's memory seemed to be blank; he could only recall the events of last night before he sent Miike and Kana back.

"Huh? Don't you remember?" Hoshimiya Shio raised her gun and smashed the butt of the gun hard against Matsushima's head.

"Would you like me to help you remember?"

This blow caused Matsushima's forehead to bleed, and warm blood flowed down his forehead.

"Dare to touch our boss?" The surrounding bodyguards and henchmen drew their weapons, chambered bullets, and shouted, "Brothers! Give me..."

"Wait!" Matsushima roared, stopping all his underlings.

"Sister..."

"lay down your weapon."

"But..."

"Put down your weapons!!!" Matsushima roared, giving the order.

Hoshimiya Shio is a crazy person who almost doesn't care about the consequences.

She didn't care about honor or disgrace, or the consequences of the battle between the two sides.

Visitors to Nagasaki are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. When a fight breaks out here, it has a significant impact not only on the surrounding residents and the Metropolitan Police Department, but also on the entire country of Japan.

Such a large-scale shooting brawl will likely become known worldwide as a scandal.

Matsushima endured countless hardships and climbed the ladder step by step to finally reach his current position.

She understood the stakes perfectly; starting a war out of nowhere would be a losing proposition for both sides.

Moreover, Shirakawa was left in a terrible state at the Nagasaki club, so he must bear some responsibility as well.

She couldn't lay a hand on him, neither out of sentiment nor reason.

They had no choice but to swallow their anger for the time being and try to explain themselves.

"What, did I help you remember?" Hoshino Shizuka said coldly.

"Let me go first. I have the surveillance footage here. I'll show you everything that happened."

Hoshimiya Shio nodded to Hoshimiya Rin, and Hoshimiya Rin released Matsushima.

Matsushima took out his phone from his pocket, intending to play the surveillance footage.

However, no matter what I did, I couldn't open the monitoring system.

The entire system crashed? When?

"Are you kidding me?" Hoshimiya Shio forcefully poked Matsushima's forehead with the barrel of her gun.

Now Matsushima is completely unable to defend himself.

Miike remained silent, fully supporting Hoshimiya Shio's decision to eliminate Matsushima.
