The sight of the subordinates sacrificing themselves for their boss was everything Mine had been longing for—a bond that transcended material gain. The survivor of this assault is Daigo Dojima, the sixth chairman of Japan's largest yakuza clan.

Just my priorities.
Now I want to protect my family. The young chairman of the Tojo Clan.
Daigo once tried to distance himself from the yakuza, but an endorsement from the previous chairman landed him his current position.
