After Junko rushed into the restaurant like a frightened rabbit, Ryuzaki Shin followed her in slowly.
However, as soon as he stepped through the door, he keenly felt that the atmosphere in the restaurant was very solemn.
All the members of the Sanno Block, as well as the women that Toshiko and Mei Meiru were crazy about, were gathered around a table, with different expressions on their faces.
And the person surrounded by them was the bewildered young man - Qianqing.
Yamato and Chiharu
A Tiezheng frowned and said to Shouzi:
A Tie
"Huh? Aunt Shouzi, are you saying... this kid wants to join us at Sanno?"
There was obvious confusion and questioning in his tone.
Shouzi spread his hands indifferently, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Yeah, I think this guy is quite pitiful, and he seems to have some friendship with Yamato, so I brought him here to show you."
After hearing what Shouko said, Qianqing immediately bowed deeply to all the Sanno members present.
"Seniors! Please allow me to join the Sanno Federation!"
There was a slight tremor in his voice, but more of it was a determination to go all out.
Ryuzaki Makoto stood at the door, watching this scene, a gleam in his eyes.
He thought secretly.
Actually, I don't like Qianqing very much.
You were originally a demon-stricken person. You got into trouble in your own school and could no longer stay there. After being saved by Yamato once, you wanted to run to the Sanno Federation to seek refuge.
To put it bluntly, this behavior is to try to pass your troubles on to others.
Anyway, if it were me, I really don't like this kind of person.
However, of course Ryuzaki Shin would not say what he really thought.
Not only will he not ruin this matter, but he will actively encourage Chiharu to join Sannoh.
Only in this way will the conflict between Oniyako and the Sanno Federation become more intense, right?
At this moment, Cobra, who had been silent all the time and sitting in the main seat, finally spoke.
cobra
"Yamato, tell me, what's going on."
Yamato's expression was very unnatural.
Under the gaze of everyone, he still stammered and told the whole story in full.
After he finished speaking, the whole restaurant fell into silence.
The people from Shanwang looked at each other, and no one spoke.
After listening to this, Cobra simply said:
"I understand, but what does this have to do with us, the Mountain King?"
Qianqing saw the whole scene become so solemn because of him alone, and a sad expression appeared on her face.
He bowed deeply to everyone again.
"I understand... I'm sorry, everyone, for disturbing you."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave dejectedly.
Yamato looked at Chiharu's lonely back, and the shadow of his former best friend, Arden, involuntarily emerged in his mind.
In Yamato's mind, his former friend Arden and Chiharu in front of him overlapped.
He could never get rid of the guilt of not being able to rescue Arden in time.
So, at this time, he roared at the cobra:
"So you're just going to let me sit back and do nothing?!"
Ah Tan was a good man, so he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, and tactfully advised:
"Yamato, that's not what we meant. It's just that if we really protected Chiharu, Kitsune... would definitely come looking for trouble."
At this time, Cobra slowly turned his head and swept his cold eyes over everyone.
"Ghost evil is high, it's nothing great, we can kill them at any time."
His words were filled with absolute confidence and dominance.
When Yamato heard what Cobra said, he thought that things had taken a turn for the better and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
But the next moment, the cobra's eyes were fixed on him.
"However, this matter is a matter of principle. Qianqing's matter has nothing to do with Sanwang. This is a family matter of Guixie Gao."
"Yamato, this is your own problem!!"
At this time, Naomi also looked at Qianqing and said softly:
Naomi
"Perhaps you don't know, but the balance in this region has almost reached its limit. We don't want to pay the price of blood for some meaningless disputes anymore."
She had no interest in the fighting in this area.
In Naomi's heart, she only cherishes her small restaurant.
If this area can remain peaceful, her business can continue smoothly.
She didn't want her life to be disturbed anymore.
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Ryuzaki Shin, who had been standing at the door the whole time, observing everyone like an outsider, suddenly walked in.
He put his arm around Qian Qing's shoulders as she was about to leave the door, and brought him back.
"Hello, everyone, long time no see."
When Naomi saw Ryuzaki Shin suddenly come in, an expression of surprise appeared on her face.
After all, everyone started talking about Chiharu as soon as they entered the door, and Shouzi forgot to mention that Ryuzaki Shin was hosting dinner today.
"My dear! I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon!"
When Shouzi heard this, she came over and said, "Naomi, you know Zhen? I thought you didn't know each other."
After listening to this, Naomi smiled and said to Ryuzaki Shin, "Good job! So your name is Shin! You didn't tell me your name last time. Today, I have to punish you by making you drink a few more glasses!"
Ryuzaki Shin smiled.
"I can drink a lot, most people can't get me drunk. Okay, let's put aside these unpleasant things for now. I'll be the host today, Naomi. Bring out your specialties. We won't leave until we're drunk!"
Naomi smiled cheerfully, "Sure! No problem!"
Then she turned and went into the kitchen to get busy.
Shouzi followed her in like a hostess: "Naomi, come here, auntie will help you today!"
After saying that, the two of them went about their work happily.
Ryuzaki Shinzo took the still uneasy Chiharu carelessly, found an empty seat, and pushed him down.
Seeing this, Junko glanced around, then coughed as if nothing had happened and said to the sisters around her:
"Ahem, let's sit down too."
Then, she sat down next to Ryuzaki Shin, and the action was so natural as if she had rehearsed it countless times.
The other members of the Sanno Federation, except Cobra, all smiled kindly at Ryuzaki Shin.
After all, they now fully understood what happened that night.
Several people took the initiative to speak.
"Hello, my name is A Tan."
"My name is A-Tie."
Only Cobra said indifferently: "Cobra."
Before Ryuzaki Shin could speak, Junko couldn't stand it anymore. She said to Cobra:
"Hey! Cobra! What's your attitude? How can you treat guests like that?"
Cobra just glanced at Junko and said coldly: "Strange woman, shut up."
In his eyes, Junko is a complete weirdo.
In the past, I always looked at myself secretly, and I had no idea what was in that little head.
Ryuzaki Shinzo smiled, not caring about Cobra's attitude at all.
He said to everyone, "Hello everyone, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Ah Zhen."
Ah Zhen?
Cobra repeated the name silently in his mind.
Never heard of it.
A powerful man of unknown origin.
Cobra always felt that the person in front of him was not a good person.
It's not his fault that he's suspicious.
As the boss of Sanwang, he has to think more about everything that happens in the area and remain highly vigilant at all times.
Cobra's mind raced, and he wanted to take this opportunity to test Long Qi's true background.
"Ah Zhen, you just saw it. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you about our family affairs here." He looked at Long Qizhen with deep eyes. "However, as you know, many things are often confused by those involved. I want to hear what you think about this matter."
When Ryuzaki Shin heard this, he immediately understood that the cobra was trying to test him.
But he didn't care.
There's nothing that can't be discussed about this kind of thing.
On the contrary, you can take this opportunity to provoke the boss of the mountain king again.
Ryuzaki Shin smiled.
"Recently, I've been traveling around this area and have gained a general understanding of the major forces here."
"You're unwilling to intervene in Qianqing's affairs simply because you're afraid of disrupting the balance of power in this area and don't want any more unnecessary conflicts to occur."
Cobra nodded, not finding anything strange about Ryuzaki Shin's words.
Those who live here are all aware of the obvious conflicts between the five major forces.
Just ask anyone and you'll get a pretty good idea.
However, Ryuzaki Shin's next words made everyone present unable to sit still.
Ryuzaki Shin's tone suddenly changed.
"But it seems to me, Cobra, that you're acting... to put it mildly, indecisive."
"To put it bluntly... that is, stupid!"
Everyone present was stunned when they heard Ryuzaki Makoto's words.
No one expected that this man of unknown origin would speak so directly and mercilessly.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant dropped to freezing point because of the word "stupid".
The air seemed to have frozen.
Seeing this awkward scene, Yamato forced a smile that was uglier than crying in order to lighten the atmosphere, and tried to smooth things over with an awkward smile.
"Hahahaha...hahaha...Ah Zhen, you really know how to joke!"
As he spoke, he nudged Ryuzaki Shin quietly with his elbow. "It's obvious you don't understand Cobra. He... he's not stupid!"
The cobra didn't feel anything.
He still looked as cold as ever, as if Ryuzaki Shin was not talking about him at all.
However, his eyes, which had always been calm, now became sharper and stared at Long Qi Zhen's face.
"Go on."
Ryuzaki Shin shook his head, picked up the water cup in front of him and took a sip, then continued slowly:
"Cobra, as the boss of Sanwang, the philosophy you and your brothers have always adhered to is to maintain peace in this neighborhood, right?"
He paused, and without waiting for Cobra's reply, he continued, "But peace is not that simple. There's a saying that goes, 'The tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop.'"
"The more you try to hold onto your own little piece of land and whitewash everything, the more you'll find that trouble will only keep coming to you like flies to blood!"
When Cobra listened to what Ryuzaki Shin said, there was still a very subtle fluctuation in his eyes.
He had to admit that what the other party said hit the nail on the head.
Since the establishment of the SWORD region, it seems that a delicate balance is maintained between the major forces, but in fact, undercurrents are surging, and small-scale conflicts and frictions have never really stopped.
The Sanno district, as the intersection of various major forces, was the first to be hit and became a gathering place for all kinds of troubles.
The peace they want to protect seems so fragile in the face of reality.
"Go on."
The cobra's voice was a little deeper than before.
Ryuzaki Shin continued, and this time, his voice was full of dominance.
"Peace is never achieved through compromise or tolerance! It is achieved through fighting! It can only be truly achieved through fists, strength, and making everyone fear you!"
"If you, the Sanno Federation, can muster half the courage of MUGEN back then, truly destroy the other four factions, and completely unify the entire SWORD region, then the rules here will all be yours to set!"
"By then, everything here will be yours! The resources, territory, and manpower of the entire region will all be firmly in your hands! It won't be like it is now, with no money and no people!"
Having said that, Ryuzaki Shin glanced contemptuously at Chiharu who was still standing there, at a loss.
"It won't be like this now! Just because we have to discuss whether to protect a small character, we dare not offend a ghost evil god...who you even look down on!"
He leaned forward slightly, looked directly into the cobra's eyes, and asked word by word:
"Cobra, you said... what I said was right, wasn't it?"
Ryuzaki Shin's words had just fallen.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, A Tie slammed the table and stood up suddenly.
He glared at Ryuzaki Shin, his chest heaving violently.
"That's enough! You're saying that so lightly! You're an outsider, you have no idea how complex and dangerous this neighborhood is!"
"If we, the Sanwang, really do this, then the first to suffer the combined attack of the other four major forces will be us, the Sanwang! Then, this place will be plunged into endless war again!!"
Ryuzaki Shin seemed to take his anger completely for granted and just waved his hand indifferently.
"Hey, I'm just saying it casually, don't be so nervous."
Junko, who was standing by, also frowned and said to the emotional A Tie:
"Hey! Ah Tie, why are you yelling? Didn't Cobra ask that question himself? Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with what Ah Zhen said!"
In Junko's heart, she felt that everything Ryuzaki Shin said made sense.
Over the years, she has become quite familiar with the people in the Sanno district and has witnessed many things with her own eyes.
Blindly compromising will gain you nothing at all, and all you will get is wave after wave of trouble.
The cobra, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke again.
"A Tie, sit down and don't be rude to the guests."
When A Tie heard what his elder brother said, although he was still a little indignant, he replied "yes" sullenly and sat down again.
The reason why he was so excited was that he couldn't bear to see an outsider looking down on his respected Cobra brother so casually.
Cobra, on the other hand, lowered his head at this moment, and the words that Ryuzaki Makoto had just said kept echoing in his mind.
MUGEN was so glorious back then.
They unified the area on their own.
In that era, everything here was decided by MUGEN.
Indeed, there are not so many messy worries.
Even if problems arise occasionally, they are merely conflicts within the organization and can be resolved through internal rules.
He, Cobra, and Yamato were both veteran members of the MUGEN organization.
Therefore, he was not only a witness of the "MUGEN" era, but also the person who pioneered the "SWORD" era.
But it is precisely because he has personally experienced two eras that Cobra feels increasingly powerless.
Didn't MUGEN, which was once so powerful, end up falling apart?
Hasn't he ever thought about making the Sanno Federation an organization like MUGEN back then?
Cobra did think about it.
However, precisely because he had personally experienced the MUGEN era, he knew better than anyone that it was extremely difficult to reach that level.
This is far beyond the capabilities of the Sanno Federation, which currently only has a few core members.
Therefore, apart from trying his best to implement the beliefs he held when he was in MUGEN and protect the land under his feet, he could not do anything else with their current capabilities.
Ryuzaki Shin looked at the silent Cobra. Although there was still no expression on the other's face, Ryuzaki Shin could feel that the other's heart must be turbulent at this moment.
That's enough.
The cracks in people's hearts are pried open bit by bit in this way.
Cobra, feel your powerlessness and enjoy your struggle.
Only in this way can I appear at the right time when your Sanwang Federation is at its most desperate, and then...
Take over everything for you.
Just when everyone was worried because of Ryuzaki Shin's words.
Naomi's voice suddenly came from the kitchen.
"Hey! Those of you who have nothing to do outside, don't just sit there! The food is ready, come in and serve it!"
Shouzi also poked her head out from the kitchen.
"Yamato! You stupid kid, come over and help serve the food!"
Yamato stood up, also looking worried, but he still retorted out of habit.
"Stop making so much noise, you bitch! I'm coming right now!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and walked towards the kitchen.
Seeing this, Ryuzaki Shin also stood up with a smile.
"I'll go lend a hand too."
When Junko heard this, she immediately stood up, faster than anyone else.
"I'm going too!"
Then, he followed closely behind Ryuzaki Shin and walked in.
In the restaurant hall, only the remaining three members of Mei Meiru Kuang were left.
They looked at Junko's back, looked at each other, and then started to huddle together and talk in whispers.
"Is Junko...she's attracted to that guy called Zhen?"
"Nonsense! Do you even need to tell me that? Even a three-year-old can see it!"
"That's right! She used to always talk about cobras, but today she even started talking about cobras!"
"Hehe, when I saw them coming together just now, Junko was holding onto Zhen's waist and wouldn't let go!"
"Oh! Is there such a thing? Then Junko...has already touched a man!"
Just then, Junko brought two plates of steaming hot chicken nuggets to the table.
Seeing the three men's evil grins, she asked suspiciously:
"What are you talking about? Why does it feel like... you're saying something bad about me."
The three of them waved their hands quickly and said in unison:
"No!"
Junko sat down with a look of disbelief.
After a while, all the dishes were served one after another.
Japanese-style deep-fried pork cutlet, tempura platter, teppanyaki beef, miso soup, and a large plate of steaming oden...
A large table was filled with food.
As soon as Yamato saw the food, the sadness on his face instantly disappeared and he showed a happy smile.
"I'm going to start!"
Naomi looked at him, looking like a starving ghost, and smiled.
"Okay, let's get started, everyone. Let's try my cooking."
For a moment, the only sounds in the restaurant were the clinking of dishes and the chewing of people.
Just when everyone was eating enthusiastically, Ryuzaki Shin suddenly put down his chopsticks and spoke.
"Aunt Shouzi, I have something I want to discuss with you..."
Shouzi had just finished a mouthful of hot miso soup when she looked up at the young man opposite her who she liked more and more.
"Ah Zhen, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. You don't have to be so polite to me, your aunt."
Ryuzaki Shin put down his chopsticks and his expression became more serious.
"Well, I run a loan company and have some spare cash." He glanced around at the people in the restaurant and continued, "Why did I come to the SWORD area? To conduct some business research."
"I'm planning to invest in a business here soon. Auntie, your family runs a repair shop, so I was wondering if we could expand the business."
"I see the shops on both sides of your repair shop are empty and no one is renting them. Why don't I just buy them and expand the business?"
"And I see there are quite a lot of young people in this area who enjoy motorcycles. We could definitely add a motorcycle modification service. Wouldn't that completely expand our business? What do you think?"
After Ryuzaki Shin finished saying this, the table instantly became quiet.
Shouzi was completely stunned. She had never expected that Ryuzaki would suddenly talk to her about this matter.
Asahina Repair Shop is the only legacy her husband left to her and her son.
In her mind, this store was originally a business for Yamato to support his family in the future, and she had never thought about how big the store would be.
The grand blueprint that Ryuzaki Makoto just mentioned was something she had never considered before.
But now, since Ryuzaki Shin brought it up, Hisako had to think more about it.
If Ryuzaki really invested too much, then how much of the share will she and Yamato still have in the future operation of this store?
What if he were to use capital operations like those unscrupulous businessmen in society to squeeze out all their business rights bit by bit?
With Yamato's stubborn mind, she was not at all reassured.
However, Shouzi also keenly felt that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If the store can really expand and make more money as Ah Zhen said, then Yamato will have enough savings and can consider his major life events earlier.
Although Shouzi looks carefree and heartless on weekdays, he has been through so many years and experienced many ups and downs, so he still has some thoughts.
She pretended to be dumbfounded and said with some embarrassment:
"Ah Zhen, your suggestion is very good. But... Auntie, I don't understand these business matters either."
"Besides, with the current scale, even Yamato is sometimes a little overwhelmed."
"If we expand the store further, he...he'll be exhausted to death! By then, I don't know how much salary I should give him."
Yamato didn't know whether he really didn't understand or was just cooperating with his mother, and said naively:
"Yeah, Ah Zhen, I'm exhausted after a day now. If I were a little older, I would be exhausted to death."
Ryuzaki Shin looked at Hisako's awkward way of speaking and knew what she was worried about.
It is nothing more than a question of ownership of operating rights and distribution of profits.
He just smiled.
"Auntie, this is all my fault. I didn't explain myself clearly just now."
"I see that your store is probably less than 200 square meters."
"My plan is to expand it directly to 1,000 square meters! The business should cover both cars and motorcycles, but of course, the main focus will be motorcycles."
"As for the profits... let's calculate it this way." He held up four fingers. "The shop's sign will still use the name 'Asahina Repair Shop.' I'll cover all the initial investment, including the lease, renovations, and the purchase of all machinery and equipment. And, of the future operating profits, I'll only take 40%."
"As for the issue of manpower, there is even less need to worry about it."
"Yamato has been in business for so many years, his experience and skills are top-notch. From now on, he will be the boss of the store! I'll help you recruit employees. When the time comes, Yamato will just be responsible for monitoring the business every day and keeping an eye on any technical issues."
A few days ago, Jin Kirisawa mentioned that he wanted to establish a forward base for the True Dragon Society in this area.
That's why Ryuzaki Shin made this suggestion.
As for cooperating with Yamato, Uncle Gen's group originally ran a repair shop, so when the time comes, we can just bring their original team over.
Moreover, he will also transfer his trusted aide Serizawa to take charge.
In this way, on the one hand, we can always monitor the movements of the Sanno Federation and other forces, and on the other hand, we can deepen the ties with the Sanno district.
When the day of showdown really comes in the future, these people will naturally be taken down by him.
As for the investment in the store...
This amount of money is nothing to Ryuzaki Shin now.
Uncle Yuan's shop can directly move those expensive repair equipment over.
As for the cost of renting a shop... in this area, shop rents are shockingly low.
This investment is almost negligible.
Everyone present was shocked after hearing what Long Qi Zhen said.
this...
This is no longer an investment!
This is simply a naked concession!
Yamato's eyes were as big as copper bells at this moment, and he muttered to himself:
"What's going on... Am I going to be the boss?"
Shouzi was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
If Long Qizhen has already said this much and I still don't understand what he means, then I am really being ungrateful.
As for Ryuzaki's true purpose...
She was too lazy to ask.
What's so worthwhile about my little shop that others would bother to care about it?
Didn't they say they are optimistic about the market here and want to invest?
Ryuzaki Shin looked at the wonderful reactions on everyone's faces and nodded secretly in his heart.
Money is not everything, though.
But many times, you can accomplish many unexpected things by spending just a little money.
This is the charm of money.
Yamato felt like he had suddenly risen from the slums and started singing, and his whole body became more energetic.
He stood up from his chair in a flash, picked up an unopened bottle of beer from the ground, and bit it open with his teeth with a "bang".
Yamato stared at Ryuzaki Shin, his eyes filled with gratitude and excitement.
"Brother! Enough talk! I'm done!"
After saying that, he tilted his head back and gulped down a whole bottle of ice-cold beer.
Everyone at the table couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw Yamato's happy expression.
Naomi even teased him with a smile:
"Look at how promising you are!"
After Yamato finished drinking, he burped loudly and patted Ryuzaki Shin's shoulder hard.
"Brother! Look! There's not a drop left!"
Ryuzaki Shinya smiled and said, "That's not necessary. This is just the beginning. Who knows, if business gets better in the future, we might open even more chain stores!"
Yamato laughed out loud, "You're right, Zhen! Let's make money together!"
Even Shouzi, who was standing by, couldn't help but secretly wipe away a tear.
She knew that she did owe Yamato something over the years.
For everything that happened today, just think of it as the child's father, blessing him from heaven.
Ryuzaki really felt that he had done enough today.
All that needs to be done has been done, and there is no need to stay here any longer.
It's already past eight o'clock in the evening, time to go home.
He stood up, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Everyone, I'm so sorry, I have some personal matters to attend to tonight, so I won't be with you any longer. I have to leave first."
"Yamato, wait for me inside the store tomorrow. I'll show you a contract. If you think it's suitable, just sign it."
After saying that, Ryuzaki Shin took out tens of thousands of yen from his pocket and handed it to Naomi.
"I'll treat you to this meal, you guys continue."
But Naomi pushed his money back.
"Ah Zhen, look at what you're saying. You helped me enough last time. Isn't it a bit too distant for you to be like this? Or do you not consider me a friend?"
Long Qizhen shook his head and did not refuse anymore, and put the money back into his arms.
"Well, I'll let you spend the money today, Naomi. Okay, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door in a cool manner.
Everyone stood up and sent Ryuzaki Shin to the restaurant door.
Ryuzaki arrived at the door, got on his motorcycle, looked at everyone, smiled and said:
"Okay, no need to see everyone off, let's go back and eat."
After saying that, he turned the accelerator and disappeared into the night.
Everyone turned around and went back to the house to continue eating and drinking.
Only Junko was still standing blankly at the door of the restaurant, looking into the distance in the direction where Ryuzaki Makoto left.
Rixiang couldn't bear it anymore, so she walked over and put her arms around Junko's neck.
"Still looking? They've already left! Besides, didn't they say they'd come back tomorrow?"
Junko blushed and patted Rika's head gently.
"You're the only one who talks too much! Yamato has taken such a big advantage this time, he will be the big boss in the future! Today, we must get him drunk!"
Rixiang rubbed her head and muttered softly:
"They're taking advantage of Ah Zhen, it's not yours, look how anxious you are..."
After Ryuzaki Shin left the ITOKAN restaurant, he felt a strong sense of sleepiness.
Today, from dealing with Narumi Daigo, to understanding the Sanno district, to planning for the future, he did so much.
My mind has been in a highly tense state. Now that I relax, I feel physically and mentally exhausted.
He didn't want to think about anything now. He just wanted to get home as soon as possible and have a good sleep.
The motorcycle engine roared low in the night.
Half an hour later, he finally returned to the villa in Songfengtai.
As soon as I pushed the door open and walked in, I saw Nanako and Asuka sitting side by side on the large sofa in the living room, eating snacks and watching the midnight theater on TV with relish.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Asuka immediately threw down the potato chips in her hand, put on her slippers and went to greet him.
She trotted all the way to Ryuzaki Shinji, and like a docile kitten, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Really! You're back! Why didn't you answer the phone? I thought something happened to you and I was a little worried."
There was a mixture of coquettishness and complaint in her voice.
Ryuzaki Shin felt the warmth and softness in his arms, touched her head, and said tiredly:
"My phone must be out of battery. I forgot to charge it last night. I guess it turned off automatically."
Asuka didn't dwell on this issue any further.
She raised her head, looked up at Ryuzaki Shin's handsome face, and asked with concern:
"Really, have you had dinner yet? Do you want me to... prepare some dinner for you?"
Ryuzaki Shin yawned, took off his coat, and walked into the living room, mumbling incoherently:
"No, I've already eaten outside. I'm too tired tonight and want to go to bed early."
Then, he looked at Nanako who was looking at him curiously on the sofa and asked casually:
"Nanako, are you adapting to work at the company today?"
Nanako thought, it's more than just adaptation!
That feeling is not like going to work, but like being a boss!
Everyone in the company didn't dare to look at her more than once when they saw her. They were all very respectful, for fear of offending her.
This is no wonder, as Ryuzaki Shin is like a god in the entire True Dragon Society.
Naturally, they would worship the woman brought by the boss himself like an ancestor.
However, Nanako still did her job well.
After all, the True Dragon Society is just starting out, so the workload is really not that great.
So she replied honestly:
"Everyone was very polite to me, and the work was quite easy. The contract was signed today."
Ryuzaki Shin nodded and said nothing more.
"Okay, that's it. I'm going upstairs to bed."
After saying that, he dragged his tired body upstairs alone.
Asuka watched Ryuzaki Shin disappear at the stairs and said to Nanako:
"Nanako, you should get some rest early too. Don't watch TV too late. I...I'm a little tired too. I want to go upstairs and rest."
When Nanako heard this, a look of contempt appeared on her face.
"Why are you tired? Today, I just followed those people and chose a good shop."
"The rest of the time, I did nothing! Look at those people, they keep calling you 'sister-in-law' and are practically praising you to the sky!"
Speaking of this, Asuka couldn't stop smiling. Obviously, today's experience made her feel the respect and satisfaction she had never experienced before.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I really need to go rest."
Nanako gave a wicked smile and winked at her.
"Aunt, I see you...just want 'that'."
Asuka's face turned red in an instant.
"You damn girl! Why are you so nagging? I'm so tired today, how could I possibly do something like that? I was afraid I'd wake him up if I went in, so I might as well just go upstairs and rest! I'm too lazy to talk to you! I'm going upstairs!"
After saying that, she twisted her slender waist and ran quickly into the bedroom.
Asuka gently pushed open the bedroom door and saw that Ryuzaki Shin had just taken off his clothes and was about to get into bed.
When Ryuzaki Shin saw Asuka coming in, he didn't say much, just closed his eyes and prepared to go to bed.
Who knew that Asuka quickly took off all her clothes and got straight into his bed.
Ryuzaki was really startled by this sudden action.
He suddenly lifted a corner of the quilt and looked at the smooth, jade-like body beside him and what Asuka was doing.
"Chicken burrito."
Asuka smiled charmingly and replied softly:
"Old Sydney Chicken Roll."
Ryuzaki rolled his eyes helplessly.
After a while, the suppressed breathing sounds between the man and woman could be heard again in the quiet bedroom...
At the door of their bedroom, Nanako was quietly standing there, pressing her ear against the door, eavesdropping on the sounds coming from inside...
…
The next day, at twelve noon.
SWORD area, Sanwang Street.
This is the time of day when the sun is at its strongest.
A group of men dressed in black and looking menacing were marching down the street.
Each of them had a stern face and fierce eyes, and it was obvious that they were not good people.
When the group of men in black walked to a barber shop, one of them, whether intentionally or unintentionally, kicked over the rotating sign at the door of the shop.
The owner of the barber shop saw it and was surprised. He was so arrogant!
He immediately lost control of his anger and rushed out of the store, pointing at the group of men in black and shouting:
"Hey! You little brats! Don't you have eyes when you walk? How rude!"
Hearing this shout, the group of men in black all turned around and stared at him fiercely...
When Furuya Hideto heard the old man's shouting behind him, he slowly stopped.
His face, which was already distorted by anger, looked even more unfriendly at this moment.
The antique British man slowly turned around and walked step by step to the front of the barber shop owner, looking down at him condescendingly.
"Little old man, let me ask you, is there a gathering place for the Sanwang Federation nearby?"
The barber shop owner was not afraid at all. He puffed out his chest and shouted loudly with full confidence:
"Who knows?"
Furuya Hideto was already filled with rage.
Last time, he was beaten half to death by Sanwang's men, and he has always remembered this grudge.
I came here today just to get back at him.
Now, he has met such an ungrateful old guy. How can he have any patience left?
"Bang!"
He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the barber shop owner by the collar, lifted him up, and stared into his fearless eyes.
However, the next second, the old man still did not hesitate at all, and his voice became even more firm.
"You think I don't know?! They... they're in that restaurant up ahead!"
After hearing the answer he wanted, Furuya Hideto snorted coldly and threw the barber shop owner aside as if he were throwing away garbage.
"You're smart!"
Then, he led the group of men in black behind him and strode straight towards the restaurant.
The group was so large that wherever they passed, pedestrians on the roadside would give way for fear of getting in trouble with this group of guys who looked like they were not easy to mess with.
Soon, they arrived at the door of Naomi's ITOKAN restaurant.
Three figures slowly walked out of the team.
Standing on both sides are the two major leaders of Guixie Gao - Furuya Hideto and Seki Kotaro.
The man standing in the middle, who was not tall but exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, with an evil look on his face, was the boss of the Guiye Gaoji Order - Murayama Yoshiki!
Murayama Yoshiki slowly raised his head, glanced at the somewhat old signboard of the ITOKAN restaurant, and asked Furuya Hideto beside him:
"Is this the place? Why... isn't the door open?"
Of course the door wasn't open.
Last night, everyone was so happy because Ryuzaki really showed up.
Especially the funny mother and son pair, Yamato and Hisako, made the whole scene quite lively.
In addition, the group of people from Sanwang have not been able to get together so relaxed for a while.
When Ryuzaki Shin was around, everyone was somewhat restrained, but as soon as Ryuzaki Shin left, everyone's true colors were revealed and they completely let themselves go.
Last night, everyone went home drunk.
At this rate, they probably won't wake up until the afternoon.
Of course, no one would be in the store at this time.
Furuya Hideto frowned and looked around.
"It should be... this is it. After all, this is the only restaurant nearby."
Guan Hutaro, who was standing by, looked inside through the closed glass door of the restaurant and suddenly felt like he had discovered a new world.
"Brother, look! Inside... inside there's the Sanno Federation flag! This must be it, there's no doubt about it!"
When Murayama Yoshiki heard this, a wicked and cruel smile slowly appeared on his lips.
"Sanwang Federation..." he muttered to himself, "It would be fine if you just meddled in our family affairs, but you even dared to beat up my men so badly."
"Cobra, oh Cobra, could it be that you can't hold back and want to change the situation in this area?"
"Interesting! Are you going to start with us, Gui Xie Gao? It seems like you've underestimated us."
After saying that, Murayama Yoshiki gently twisted his neck, making a series of crisp "crackling" sounds.
Right after!
He suddenly raised his right foot and kicked the closed glass door with great force!
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the thick tempered glass was instantly covered with countless cracks!
Then, with a "crash", it completely shattered into countless glass fragments, flying everywhere!
"Guys!" Murayama Yoshiki's voice became unusually cold at this moment, "Smash this store!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Hutaro and Furuya Hideto beside him both showed excited and ferocious smiles on their faces.
The two of them took the lead and rushed into the restaurant!
Immediately afterwards, dozens of black-clad members of Guixie Gao swarmed in like a tide!
For a moment, the entire restaurant was filled with the harsh sound of various objects being smashed!
"Bang!"
Guan Hutaro grabbed a chair and smashed it hard against the bar!
The expensive coffee machine and various exquisite cups were smashed to pieces in an instant!
"Bang!"
Furuya Hideto kicked over a dining table!
The bowls, chopsticks, and plates on the table fell to the ground with a crackling sound, breaking into countless pieces!
Those guys in black were like a swarm of locusts, smashing everything they saw!
Tables, chairs, chandeliers, decorations...
Everything that can be seen is spared!
Wood chips flew everywhere and glass splashed everywhere!
The originally cozy and tidy little restaurant turned into a messy ruin in just a few minutes!
Murayama Yoshiki stood at the door, quietly looking at the devastated scene in front of him, and the cruel smile on his face became even more intense.
He slowly reached out his hand and pulled out the metal school badge representing Guixie High School from the collar of his black coat.
Then, he gently threw the cold school badge toward the store door.
"Ding… Ding ding…"
The metal nameplate bounced twice on the messy ground, making a crisp sound, and finally, landed steadily in the center of the store entrance.
"That's... enough."
Murayama Yoshiki looked at the school badge that shone with a cold light and said softly, "Cobra, you shouldn't let me down, right? I'm looking forward to your visit."
After saying that, he turned around and left without even looking at her again.
The group of men in black behind him also immediately stopped smashing and looting, and followed him one by one, leaving in a mighty procession.
As they were walking down the street, Guan Hutaro accidentally saw a strong man in a white T-shirt standing in front of a vending machine on the street, selling soda.
Guan Hutaro always felt that the man's back looked a little familiar.
However, when he saw the man's profile, he felt it was very strange, as if he had never seen him before.
He always felt something was wrong.
However, Guan Hutaro has always been a carefree person. This thought only flashed through his mind and was soon forgotten.
The man in the white T-shirt skillfully put a few coins into the vending machine, bought a bottle of peach-flavored carbonated drink, and held it in his hand.
Then, he walked calmly towards the ITOKAN restaurant.
When he reached the door of the messy restaurant, he shook his head and sighed.
"Tsk tsk tsk... This renovation team did a pretty thorough job of demolishing..."
Then, he swept his eyes across the ground, and soon saw the metal school badge belonging to Guixie High School lying quietly on the ground.
"Cobra, seeing this, will probably be very angry."
The man smiled, turned around and took a few steps into the alley. Then he got on his imposing Harley-Davidson motorcycle and slowly drove off in the other direction of the street...
2 p.m., Sanno district, Asahina Repair Shop.
The heavy rolling door was still tightly closed.
However, at the door of the repair shop, Junko was already waiting there.
Today, Junko did not wear the iconic red special attack uniform, but instead dressed like a pure and lovely girl next door.
She was wearing a beige sweater on her upper body, a light blue denim skirt on her lower body, and a pair of white sneakers on her feet, revealing her straight and slender legs.
The whole person looks like she exudes a youthful and sweet aura.
Junko
Junko was standing alone at the door of the repair shop, muttering something to herself.
She put her hands on her hips and said boldly:
"Hey! That man! I'm attracted to you! Give me your phone number!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she shook her head vigorously.
"No, no...isn't this a bit too rude?"
Junko cleared her throat, put on a delicate demeanor, and pinched her throat:
"Brother Zhen... Can I have your phone number?"
As soon as she finished speaking these words, she dry heaved twice.
"No, no! That's disgusting!"
At this moment, Ryuzaki Shin rode his domineering Harley motorcycle and slowly came behind Junko.
However, Junko seemed completely oblivious to the low roar of the motorcycle engine.
At this moment, she was completely immersed in her own inner world.
Ryuzaki Shin parked the car and felt a little strange looking at Junko's confused look.
"What is this little girl doing here alone? She's talking nonsense."
With a hint of curiosity, he walked quietly behind Junko, then reached out and patted her shoulder gently.
Junko was already having trouble thinking about how to ask for the phone number, and she was in a state of high tension.
Now, being slapped from behind out of the blue, he felt like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Subconsciously, she reached out and grabbed the arm that hit her shoulder, then exerted force from her waist!
A clean and neat shoulder throw was performed in an instant!
Junko's moves were so fast and fierce that Ryuzaki Shin didn't have any time to react!
Long Qizhen only felt a huge force suddenly attacking him!
His pupils constricted instantly.
I... go?!
Immediately afterwards, his entire body drew a "graceful" arc in the air!
The next second, he landed on his back!
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, he fell heavily onto the hard concrete floor!
This fall completely stunned Long Qi Zhen!
Not that he was hurt that much.
But...
He completely underestimated Junko's strength!
Although he was completely unprepared just now, he still subconsciously resisted when he was thrown over the shoulder.
But even so, he still didn't expect that Junko could actually complete this entire set of operations so easily!
It seems...
This guy Junko, the title of Mei Meiru's crazy chief is really not exaggerated!
After completing this set of smooth movements, Junko finally realized that she had thrown the person to the ground.
This time, it was her turn to be dumbfounded.
over...
It's over!
Isn't this the Ah Zhen that I have been thinking about all the time!
Now...
Really screwed up!
Junko froze in place, mumbling madly in her mind.
It's over!
It's all over now!
I originally wanted to leave a good impression in front of him.
Now it's good, he won't think I'm a violent person and stay away from me from now on...
The more Junko thought about it, the more upset and scared she became. She couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red.
This time, Long Qi really couldn't do anything.
Hey, I say, are you kidding me?
The one who was injured was me!
How come in the end, I still make you feel wronged?
However, looking at Junko's pitiful appearance, who seemed to be about to cry, Ryuzaki couldn't help but tease her:
"Hey, Junko, you... you're not going to give me a hand?"
Junko finally woke up from her dream, quickly reached out, grabbed Ryuzaki Shin's arm, and pulled him up from the ground in a panic.
Ryuzaki Shin patted the dust behind him as if nothing had happened, then pretended to be very surprised and looked at Junko.
"What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes...red?"
Junko dodged her gaze twice and said hesitantly:
"Just now...just now the wind was too strong, and sand got into my eyes."
After hearing this, Ryuzaki Shin raised a smile.
"Is that so? Then I'll give you a blowjob."
When Junko heard what Ryuzaki Shin said, the classic scene from the idol drama immediately emerged in her mind.
The depressed feeling in her heart disappeared without a trace in an instant!
My cheeks turned red instantly!
She immediately closed her eyes, raised her head slightly, and even pout her pink lips.
This time, it was Ryuzaki's turn to be at a loss.
Hello, hey, hey!
I said!
I just said I would blow sand for you!
Your posture...
Why does it feel like we're about to kiss?
Just when Ryuzaki was feeling extremely embarrassed.
The tightly closed roller shutter door of the repair shop was suddenly pulled open with a "whoosh".
Yamato walked out while rubbing his eyes, looking sleepy.
When he saw the two people with strange postures at the door, he suddenly became more sober.
"Ah Zhen? Junzi? You're here!" He yawned, then asked in confusion, "Huh? What are you two doing?"
When Junko heard Yamato's voice, she suddenly opened her eyes, turned around, and gave him a displeased look.
"What's it to you?"
Ryuzaki Shinzo smiled, took the bottle of peach soda he had just bought from the vending machine from his motorcycle, and handed it to Junko.
"Here, this is the soda I bought for you on the way here."
After hearing what Ryuzaki Shin said, Junko didn't bother to pay attention to Yamato anymore.
She took the bottle of cold soda, lowered her head slightly, and said in an almost inaudible voice:
"It's...it's peach flavored, thank you. I...I like sweet drinks."
Then, in front of the two grown men, she pretended to twist the bottle cap twice, and then handed the bottle of soda back to Long Qi Zhen with a coquettish look on her face.
Ryuzaki still didn't understand what she meant.
Junko spoke again.
She said softly in a coquettish tone:
"Ah Zhen... I don't have the strength to open the bottle cap... Can you, can you help me?"
Ryuzaki Shin: "…"
Yamato: "..."
