Details of the early storyline

Legendary gangster Kazuma Kiryu faked his own death and severed ties with the past.
Having lost all ties to those he loved and his life ahead, he now lives with the Daidoji faction with whom he made a secret pact, and has become an agent under the code name "Joryu".

Kiryu has been given a new assignment: to guard the scene of a gold smuggling deal at the port of Yokohama.
It was supposed to be a very simple assignment for the Daidoji faction, little more than pocket change.
As a former member of the Tojokai, Kiryu, who has risen to the fourth generation of the Tojokai, is a prominent figure among the Daidoji agents, and he is forced to use his strength, somewhat reluctantly, in response to the insistent provocation of his colleagues who are all around him.
The emptiness that Kiryu feels in his life only grows stronger and stronger.

Then ......
Suddenly, a mysterious group of people appeared before Kiryu and his friends.
The deal, which no one outside the company was supposed to know about, had to be called off, and in the midst of the chaos, by chance, the mysterious group seemed to have sniffed out that Kiryu Kazuma was still alive.
There was no way to leave them alone after they disappeared from the scene of the crime.
So Kazuma Kiryu, who should have left the world behind, once again finds himself in the whirlpool of the underworld....
