After the roadshow ended, Toru did not leave. Instead, he accepted an exclusive interview with Nichibei TV.
Inside the Nichibei TV minivan, Rena personally served as the host and asked Toru so questions.
These questions were still related to politics, mainly about his promises and platform. However, unlike during the roadshow, Toru was more detailed this ti.
This exclusive interview was essentially Nichibei TV helping Toru with his campaign and boosting his traffic.
Toru did not actually need this, but he still accepted Nichibei TV's favor.
As one of Japan's largest television stations, Nichibei TV held a very important position in traditional dia and had also secured a place in new online dia.
Maintaining a cooperative relationship with such a television station was also beneficial to Toru himself. Whether it was Nichibei TV itself or the capital behind the station, they were all willing to cooperate with Toru.
Everyone got what they needed, and making money was not shaful!
After the interview concluded, the other staff mbers went about their business, leaving only Toru and Rena in the vehicle.
Internally at Nichibei TV, everyone was actually well aware of the private contact and ambiguous relationship between the two.
Apart from so male staff mbers feeling frustrated that their goddess had been taken by Toru, there was not much other significant impact.
"Boss, there have been many issues within the Organization recently. I have so things I want to report to you."
Seeing that no one was nearby, Rena said this in a slightly nervous whisper.
The chaotic changes within the Black Organization during this period had left Rena completely bewildered. She could no longer understand what was happening.
Following Rum's instructions, she went with Gin, Martini, and the others to steal the All-Ages AI Recognition System.
And during this process, Martini suddenly betrayed them. Not only did he severely injure Gin and Vodka, he also drove a submarine and destroyed the Pacific Buoy.
Martini's betrayal was already shocking enough, but what happened next made Rena feel even more incredulous.
That mysterious Boss actually said Rum had betrayed him.
And Rum did not refute it at all. He openly began to win people over within the Organization and declared that Martini had been sent by That Person to assassinate him.
He had not betrayed That Person out of disloyalty. It was because That Person had acted unjustly, so he had no choice but to be unrighteous.
And once Rum made his stance clear, the entire Organization imdiately fell apart.
More than three-quarters of the people chose to support Rum, while less than a quarter chose to support That Person.
Rena was excited and thought the entire Organization was about to collapse imdiately, and that a civil war would soon begin.
But the developnt of events remained strange. Although That Person and Rum had completely gone their separate ways, they maintained a tacit understanding and did not start a war, leaving the Organization in a superimposed state of both division and unity.
This change had completely exceeded Rena's understanding, to the point where she did not even know how to report it to Toru.
Toru looked at Rena with amusent. He had not told Rena that he was the new Rum.
The main reason was that Rena held great hatred for the Black Organization. Her father had died at the hands of the Organization.
If he directly told her that his current goal was to control the Organization and realize greater ambitions, who knew what Rena would think? Whether she would turn against him for her father's sake, or choose to continue being an undercover agent.
Therefore, Toru needed a foolproof reason and excuse to make Rena completely loyal to him.
Or even the other way around, turning her from a Central Intelligence Agency undercover agent in the Black Organization into an Organization undercover agent in the Central Intelligence Agency!
Because Rena herself still had her Central Intelligence Agency identity. Although she did not trust the Central Intelligence Agency, she could not leave it because she still needed Central Intelligence Agency intelligence support.
In Spencer's eyes, Rena was still an excellent Central Intelligence Agency agent.
Sotis, Toru found things quite interesting. Because of his intervention, many things had beco unexpected.
Even undercover agents could start reversing, for example, Shuichi. He still had his FBI identity.
Even though Shuichi did not follow his mother's request to beco Rye Whiskey, Shuichi at this ti was essentially in an unorganized state.
He could guide Shuichi through Mary and control the FBI's intelligence information.
Compared to him, Rum and That Person were truly nothing.
I'm really turning the Red side into the Black side.
Thinking about these things, Toru slowly said, "I am well aware of the matters within the Organization, Rena. You don't need to worry."
"Soon, you will know the truth, and the Organization will pose no threat to you. Everything is within my plan."
Toru's calm deanor, as if he controlled everything, inexplicably gave Rena a strange idea.
That was, all the division happening in the Organization was related to Toru.
But how could this be possible? Wasn't the Boss a Central Intelligence Agency discard?
Even if he was capable, he could not possibly manipulate a vast, secretive Organization that had been established for decades in such a short ti, could he?
Rena fell into thought. She said, "Then I will wait for your truth."
Hmm, how can I make Rena completely loyal? Perhaps I can start with her younger brother.
Right now, the only person Rena cared about was her sole family mber.
As long as I promise her a bright future for her younger brother, allowing him to live a normal life, get married, and have children, I'm sure Rena will let go of that hatred, even if it's just for her brother's sake.
After all, in another sense, I also helped her get revenge. Rena's father's death simply involved the entire Black Organization.
Just then, Toru's phone rang. It was Old Master Fujiwara from the Fujiwara family calling.
"Toru, how confident are you about this election?"
For the district mayor election, Toru did not use Fujiwara's connections. Using Fujiwara's resources for such a small matter would only make him seem incompetent.
"Grandpa, your question is really unnecessary. My election will have almost no difficulty."
Since the Japan branch of the Unification Church had been completely eradicated, no one had been able to cause trouble for Toru in elections.
Especially just recently, Toru's biggest competitor withdrew from the election. He was an old politician who wanted to defeat Toru using his experience.
From this, Toru also determined that the person was likely from the Unification Church. However, since the other party chose to back down and concede, Toru did not push them to the brink.
As for the other candidates, after seeing that Toru was running for district mayor of Koto Ward, they all tacitly chose other areas to compete in.
"Compared to my situation, Grandpa, your side must be more difficult. Even with the Ōoka family and Fujiwara uniting, it's not guaranteed you'll get the majority vote in the assembly, especially since Ōoka was previously investigated by the Public Prosecutor's Office."
It was true that Fujiwara was the foremost political family, but that was purely due to its long history.
Japan had many political forces, and they were very complex. Fujiwara's base was in Kyoto, which allowed them to continuously recomnd people into the political arena.
However, in the eyes of many political forces in Japan, people like Fujiwara were considered old-fashioned and should be eliminated.
The fact that Fujiwara had only produced one Pri Minister in so many years showed that after the Kazoku's privileges were abolished, Fujiwara's influence had still been severely impacted.
"You don't need to worry about things here. That's how politics is. No one can always win. As long as you lose without suffering a fatal blow, there will always be a chance for the next fight."
Old Master Fujiwara truly lived up to his reputation as a seasoned politician. He did not actually place much importance on winning or losing. What he cared about was the continuation of Fujiwara, not temporary gains or losses.
In this atmosphere, the election results began to be announced. The first positions announced were precisely those of district mayor and other positions in each area!
