Tokyo: From Lawless Madpolice to Minister-Chapter 613 - 504: Words That Kill the Heart, Unleashing the Fury of the Green Turtle

In the eyes of those in the know, Facilities Division Chief Kudou Tatsuo was both a spineless yet fortunate man.

Spineless because the entire police headquarters knew that his wife was Fujimoto Takayoshi’s gun, yet he still pretended to be oblivious; fortunate because thanks to his wife’s rise, he also ascended the ranks, being promoted from a regular policeman to Police Chief in charge of a lucrative department.

And in Kudou Tatsuo’s own eyes?

He felt not fortunate, only spineless!

His family background wasn’t bad, and his income was also decent; he had no ambitions and only wanted his wife and children by the warm stove, leading a quiet, peaceful life.

Life had been happy when they had just gotten married, but once he had pulled strings and given gifts to transfer his wife to police headquarters too, everything had changed. His wife climbed into Fujimoto Takayoshi’s bed and increasingly looked down on him, being not only increasingly domineering at home but also refusing to let him touch her.

He clearly knew that his wife was being wantonly played by Fujimoto Takayoshi, but each time he met the man, he still had to salute him respectfully; he clearly knew that his colleagues were laughing at him behind his back, yet he stubbornly pretended to be unaware.

Fujimoto Takayoshi regarded his promotion as compensation, but to him, it was a severe humiliation.

Yet he still dared not refuse because to refuse would mean admitting that he resented Fujimoto Takayoshi for monopolizing his wife, and he didn’t dare show this.

From then on, he became even more reticent, hardly interacting with anyone unless absolutely necessary for work.

Fortunately, for the sake of Fujimoto Takayoshi and Kudou Misaki’s face, no one dared to expose this in front of him.

Otherwise, he really didn’t know how he would face it.

After work hours, he tidied his things, locked his office door, and left, like a walking corpse.

"Manager Kudou, take care."

"Hello, Police Chief Kudou!"

Along the way, the subordinates he encountered all voluntarily stopped to greet him; Kudou Tatsuo also managed to squeeze out a smile and respond one by one, reverting to a solemn face after they walked away.

He couldn’t help but quicken his steps, eager to leave.

Because every time this happened, he couldn’t help but imagine that while they were respectfully greeting him to his face, they might turn around and laugh at him the moment he passed.

"Bang!"

Distracted, as he turned a corner, he accidentally bumped into someone, scattering all the files the person was holding in their hands. freewёbnoνel.com

"Idiot, are you blind?" Hattori crouched down to pick up the files and scolded without even looking up.

Just as Kudou Tatsuo was about to apologize, the words got stuck in his throat; watching Hattori crouched on the ground picking up the files while cursing, a wave of rage and anger began to well up from deep inside him.

Realizing that the other’s badge indicated he was just an inspector, his rising anger burst forth.

He was, after all, a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong; otherwise, it wasn’t like he didn’t have a gun, he could have killed Fujimoto Takayoshi long ago.

"Idiot!" he cursed loudly and with one kick, knocked Hattori to the ground, rebuking powerfully, "You scoundrel! You bump into your superior and not only fail to apologize but dare to curse at me, have you had enough of living?"

Since it was time to leave work, the corridor was already bustling with people, and seeing that it was Kudou Tatsuo involved in the conflict, they all paused to watch the excitement.

Looking up from the ground, Hattori glared at Kudou Tatsuo without a word, but his face was full of defiance.

And it was this defiance that further fueled Kudou Tatsuo’s anger and desire to humiliate him.

"Idiot! Speak up! Are you mute?" Bending over, he slapped Hattori across the face and demanded.

The onlookers were utterly shocked; no one imagined that the usually amiable and non-confrontational Kudou Tatsuo had such a tyrannical side.

"Police Chief Kudou, you bumped into me first," Hattori bit his lip and said through clenched teeth.

"Still talking back!" Kudou Tatsuo stepped forward and kicked Hattori repeatedly, cursing, "I bumped into you, so what? Don’t you understand how to behave in front of your superiors! You, do you plan on losing your job?"

Throughout the years, his anger had been building up, although people usually looked down on him, they dared not offend him, and he had always deliberately tried to fend off conflicts and not provoke others.

There had never been an outlet for his bottled-up anger.

Today, Hattori, a man of lower rank, dared to curse at him, completely opening the floodgates of his anger. He humiliated him not only because Hattori had cursed at him but also as a way to vent the anger he had harbored these years towards Fujimoto Takayoshi and Kudou Misaki.

The people around, seeing Hattori curl up as Kudou Tatsuo kicked him repeatedly, felt that Kudou Tatsuo was really going too far, but it was clear that he was furious, so no one dared to challenge him.

"Idiot! You’re going too far!" Swollen-faced Hattori finally couldn’t tolerate it any longer and pushed Kudou Tatsuo away, panting and yelling, "I’ve fought through hell and high water, risking my life to earn my rank of inspector, what right do you, a man who only advanced because of his wife, have to act so arrogantly in front of me?"

His words caused an immediate commotion.

For not only did Hattori’s words humiliate Kudou Tatsuo, they also openly tore off the veil covering the relationship between Kudou Misaki and Fujimoto Takayoshi, offending these two influential figures at headquarters as well.

But everyone could understand his outburst.

After all, he had repeatedly retreated but was relentlessly beaten by Kudou Tatsuo, who took advantage of his position; it was only natural to reach a breaking point.

Kudou Tatsuo froze on the spot, feeling dizzy as if the world was spinning, and although there was no whispering around him, the silence made him feel as if thunder were bursting in his ears. He knew that everyone was ridiculing him unabashedly in their minds.
