Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The long-established Kanto Ichienkai, Nabarikai, was shaking. Chairman Nabari is suffering from an elderly illness of 80 and is trying to give his mark to someone. The ambitious young head Tezuka naturally thought that he was the tracer, but Nabari nominated his granddaughter, who recently learned of his existence. Tezuka, who has turned upside down, secretly seeks out his granddaughter and plans to kill him.
