Chapter 497: Throwing the Baby Out with the Bathwater

The night in Tokyo was dazzling, with lights as abundant as stars.

In the office, a Go board was laid out before Fujiwara Wakan, who was play against himself with his left hand and right hand, while Sha Gui stood by his side.

Telephone calls streamed into the office one by one, and all were handled by Sha Gui, leaving Fujiwara Wakan free to play the game.

"The elder statesman of the opposition, Mr. Seiji, has unfortunately passed away after his pacemaker unexpectedly failed," reported Sha Gui.

"Mr. Shengjun is embroiled in a scandal involving an actress and cannot extricate himself."

"Mr. Yoshi is under the control of the Metropolitan Police Department due to his involvement in money laundering."

"It has been confirmed that Mr. Takahiro is not of Fujiwara bloodline."

"Mr. Kyusaku wishes to see you; this can be viewed as a surrender."

Sha Gui reported in an orderly manner, and Fujiwara Wakan listened while moving the Go pieces. He did not comment.
