Detective Conan: The Fated Villain, Stealing Bonds and Ruling the Neon City

Su Mingyu, the world's strongest arms dealer and the hidden boss behind Hongmeng Group, has just arrived in Neon for a vacation when Yukiko Kudo takes him along to get revenge on her cheating husband, Yusaku Kudo. Their intimate encounter at a Beverly Hills mansion leaves the mystery novelist utterly shattered, and Yukiko discovers a whole new calling.

The Fated Villain System binds to him and immediately gives him an elite dead soldier, Eleven. Vermouth calls him "darling" while helping him deal with arms dealer traitors from the Bear Nation. The Takayanagi family refuses to pay its debts, so Su Mingyu pays them a visit, slaps the teeth right out of family head Tomizo Takayanagi, and casually takes his wife, Sumie Takayanagi, with him. The System announces that villain points have been credited, and that people who reach one hundred thousand intimacy points will be bound to him. Vermouth is in the nineties, Yukiko is at sixty-nine, and Sumie is at sixty-five. They're all lined up on the list.

That very night, Eleven slits Tomizo Takayanagi's throat. Hokkaido is thrown into an uproar, and the heads of the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Black Dragon Society bow and call him Mr. Su. Su Mingyu lies in his Alpine mansion, eating flounder and abalone as he considers his next move: take over the Suzuki Conglomerate's business or swallow the entire arms market in Neon outright.
