The Eminence in Shadow, Vol. 9 (Manga) - Daisuke Aizawa

Mitsugoshi's new inventions have put them in the sights of entrenched business interests, and the competition is turning violent. Faced with a quagmire of shady underworld schemes, Cid has just the answer-destroy both sides and rebuild from a clean slate! Sure, it might mean betraying the girls of Shadow Garden just a little, but won't it be cool when they realize he was doing it for their sake all along? \nA troubled wind is blowing--Mitsugoshi's new innovations have put them in the sights of entrenched business interests, and the filthy quagmire of shady underworld schemes is escalating to all-out economic warfare! Naturally, there's no way Cid would ignore something that cool-sounding! If it looks like the girls are getting in over their heads, he'll just have to step in and betray them to save the day--not as mild-mannered Cid or the grim and mysterious Shadow, but as Super Elite Agent John Smith, he who destroys all and rebuilds it anew...!
