A villa of elegant and luxurious design sat atop the mountain, located on the outskirts of Kyoto.
This was a famous affluent district in the Land of the Rising Sun!
It belonged to the Yakuza crime family that had stood the test of time!
The Yashida Family!
This was a samurai family that, during the Meiji Restoration, was the first to ally with the Western world.
Furthermore, during World War II, the Yashida ancestors had once risen to the high levels of the shogunate, vigorously promoting militarism and secretly plotting the sinister plan of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!
They intended to rebuild the international power structure.
Of course.
The two nuclear bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima successfully shattered the twisted dreams of the Nippon Empire.
The Land of the Rising Sun was also subsequently devastated.
However, the Yashida Family had not declined.
Instead, with international integration and the rise of the Hand, a super assassin group and the Fingers alliance in their homeland, they had become increasingly prosperous!
The current head of the family, Ichiro Yashida, was now the 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King,' controlling the Yakuza forces in Fusang!
"Hmm?"
"Visitors have arrived outside?"
"Is it Valmont, the crime boss from across the ocean?"
An imposing, aged voice resonated.
Inside the brightly lit hilltop villa, the Yakuza enforcers in suits quickly sprang into action.
They reported what they saw and heard to the head of the family!
"Father."
"Valmont is the leader of the Black Hand Gang."
The middle-aged samurai, with a grim expression, sat cross-legged and replied in a low voice.
His name was Shingen!
He was the son of the current head of the family.
He was destined to inherit the leadership of the Yashida Family Yakuza in the future!
"Don't see him."
"Drive him out!"
A hoarse and aged voice echoed from the living room once more.
"Hai!"
Many Yakuza thugs nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"...They say Valmont has defected to the Demon Emperor of the Divine Land."
"Father."
Shingen Yashida attempted to persuade him.
He laid out the pros and cons.
He hoped his father wouldn't take any actions that would harm the family.
After all, the fact that the Black Hand Gang, a target of the World Security Council, dared to openly visit the Yashida Family was enough to prove that Valmont had an unknown but sufficient backing!
"There's no need to worry excessively."
"Mr. Shingen."
"Murakami, one of the Fingers of the Hand, will be arriving soon."
"And the gang I built,"
A delicate figure with refined features and a slender, graceful physique emerged from the nearby shadows, her voice soothing. "The Black Hand Gang is nothing to worry about."
She possessed straight legs, clad in elegant high heels, and her long, golden hair was styled into a bun. She wore wire-rimmed glasses, exuding the luxurious and refined air of a noble.
This was Ichiro Yashida's personal physician.
Dr. Green!
Furthermore, she held several secret identities.
One of the executives of the Hydra organization!
A Beta-Class Mutant codenamed Viper!
"Murakami…"
Shingen Yashida's expression shifted upon hearing this.
He ultimately chose to remain silent.
Shingen valued the survival of his family more than anyone!
The key problem was that his father had allied with numerous evil forces and showed no intention of stepping down.
He sensed an ominous feeling and a crisis!
Perhaps, the family's demise was imminent!
"…They actually refused our visit?"
"And expelled us?"
"It seems the Yashida Family has really lost their minds."
The voice of the ruthless suit-clad thug was low, a cruel and cold smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
Then, dense, metallic-looking lizard scales emerged on his body. He clenched his fist and slammed it towards the gate of the hilltop villa!
The thick gate, wrapped in iron sheeting…
Faced with Valmont's fist, it was like paper, exploding into scattered fragments!
Wood splinters flew everywhere.
Instantly.
The family's elite guards, patrolling the courtyard, rushed over at the sound!
Members of the violent group, with various exaggerated tattoos, raised their katanas and charged at Valmont!
"My turn."
Rasu opened his mouth and prepared himself.
Immediately, a blazing, surging fire snake erupted!
The scorching flames, radiating a terrifying heat, instantly ignited the wooden structure of the Japanese-style villa.
Flames soared into the sky!
The Yakuza members, who were caught in the crossfire, couldn't help but let out pained cries, rushing to jump into the flower-filled pool nearby to cool down! The Yakuza thugs, covered in tattoos, couldn't withstand the Black Hand Gang's four-person team!
"Under attack?!"
The Yakuza Princess, who hadn't yet fallen asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.
In the dim room, with the moonlight filtering through the window, a delicate and beautiful face could be vaguely seen.
Her beautiful eyes blinked, showing no fear or unease. Instead, she gripped a ninjato tightly!
As the eldest daughter of the Yashida Family, she had been exposed to the world from a young age. She was no naive, innocent girl.
Her experience and cunning were undoubtedly far beyond that of her peers.
She was definitely not as harmless as she appeared.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Shadows, like living things, moved through the windows and corridors.
They were quickly heading towards the residence of the head of the family, Ichiro Yashida.
Approaching silently.
"That's!"
"The Shadowkhan from the Mummy Warrior's army?!"
The girl's beautiful eyes widened in shock. She hastily put on her outer clothes, following the flowing shadows, and rushed towards her grandfather's residence!
The girl also knew something about the long-standing legends of Fuso.
It was said that the Shadow Demon King Tarakudo, along with his nine Mummy Warriors, had once occupied Fuso!
Under his command were nine legions.
Each with a different form.
They were about to unleash the ultimate darkness that would engulf the Earth.
However, the righteous Seven Samurai used an ancient and mysterious magic to defeat all the Mummy Warriors and seal them within Noh masks!
It had been about a thousand years since then!
Her grandfather had always been searching for the masks.
He planned to command the Shadowkhan to dominate Fuso, overthrow the shogunate, rebuild the Neon Empire, and realize his ambition and grand aspiration of unifying the world through military force!
"Hmm?"
"Foreigner?!"
The Yakuza Princess spied on her grandfather's residence.
She saw a ruthless-looking, suit-clad thug with slicked-back silver hair, take out a stack of Hanafuda Cards from a picture frame.
With a face full of arrogance, he spoke fluent Japanese, "I never imagined that the once-powerful Mr. Ichiro, would have aged into this state."
"...Why."
"Take away the Hanafuda Cards your ancestor collected?"
The Yakuza boss, pale-faced and lying on his sickbed, spoke in a weak voice.
He could hardly believe his eyes.
The Black Hand Gang, which had a stronghold on the West Coast of the United States and was wanted by the World Security Council, had unexpectedly eliminated all the family's trained assassins in a short period of time!
Breathing fire and spitting electricity.
Capable of lifting a cauldron!
Even Kenichiro Harada, a close confidant skilled in archery and horsemanship, couldn't defeat the short man wearing orange goggles!
"Because the Hanafuda cards recorded clues about the Shadowkhan masks."
"This is what Lord requested."
"It's a good thing we didn't run into that floating head, Tarakudo."
Rasu, A-Fun, and Chow, displaying their usual comedic nature, looked around and said with relief.
Tarakudo?!
Ichiro Yashida's eyes widened, and he wasn't the only one.
Even Shingen, hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but sharply contract his pupils!
This was the master of the Mummy Generals.
The Shadow Demon King, who once ruled Japan!
"The Hanafuda Cards, collected by our ancestors, actually have this kind of function?"
Ichiro was overcome with anxiety, and immediately began to cough, spitting out a bright red stream of blood!
He never dreamed that the clue to the mask he had painstakingly searched for was actually right in front of him!
Anger.
Despair.
Regret.
Various emotions surged.
Directly leading to the Yakuza family head's eyes widening, and then he breathed his last breath!!
"Father!"
"Grandfather!"
Cries of concern and care rang out.
"Nothing to do with us, you know."
Rasu, A-Fun, and Chow quickly distanced themselves from any responsibility.
Then, activating the synthetic flag, which resembled an ancient Eastern command arrow, the scene before them spun wildly.
Instantly crossing the Pacific Ocean, they arrived at the Life Foundation's sub-basement level!
"Lord."
"We've brought the Hanafuda Cards!"
Valmont, the suit-clad thug, plastered a fawning smile on his face and presented the blank Hanafuda Cards with both hands.
"Take a look at this."
The tall, handsome young man handed over a stack of documents, a wry expression on his face. He clicked his tongue and said,
"We're being sued by the CEO of Stark Industries because of the Arc Reactor technology."
Unbelievable!
"Sued?"
"Stark Industries?"
"Iron Man!!"
"The Avengers aren't going to arrest us, are they?"
The Black Hand Gang quartet said, utterly defeated.
