I practiced as a monk alone in Japan.

Chapter 111 You want to cause trouble, huh!
When Kazama Sakura got into the car, she looked at Tsukino Gen with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

That's normal. After all, growing up is a process of constant loss, and without a first kiss, one naturally needs more emotional comfort.

Of course, Gen Tsukino wasn't the type to abandon someone after they'd already done their bidding. He joked around for a while before finally getting the girl on the last bus.

Actually, I didn't intentionally plan to get to this point, but it's not good to keep them hanging on for too long.

Just like when you're doing business with someone, you always have to give them a little something along the way, so they can see some hope.

Besides, the atmosphere was already quite right, so there was no need to deliberately hold back.

As for the girl who had already boarded the bus, she took out her phone and, blushing, recorded this special day.

I didn't expect to gain anything from this day, but something unexpected happened. How should I put it? People really shouldn't be too scheming, using all their cunning to plan and scheme just to get something.

Girls who are too smart don't seem to be popular.

She looked up through the car window. The night sky was beautiful tonight, not just because of the moonlight, but also because of the twinkling stars.

She still couldn't help but wonder what Tsukino Gen's reason was for kissing her at that moment.

It was because they saw their own predicament.

Or was it because he couldn't stand it anymore?
It seems like either one would be fine.

She loved and cherished her life immensely. Her family no longer brought so much pressure; she had normal days and a future to look forward to. And this boy was with her, as if he would never disappear.

It will not fade away with time.

Occasionally, like today, it brings me some unexpected surprises.

This seems to be the best life; asking for more is just wishful thinking and unfulfilled desire.

So what's next?
She thought about it.

Then, with a slightly flushed face, she operated her phone and sent a message.

My tongue hurts from being bitten.

Upon reading the contents, Tsukino Gen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This is a classic case of getting the benefit and then acting innocent.

He replied: "Then go home and have your mom bandage it up for you."

Kazama Sakura: [???]

With a smile, Tsukino Gen put away his phone and turned around.

Instead of taking a ride here, I walked to a nearby trash can where a young-looking man wearing a black baseball cap was looking at his phone and smoking.

He seemed oblivious to the approach of the boy until the boy stopped in front of him for an unknown amount of time, long enough that he could no longer ignore him, before he looked up with some impatience.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, so handsome that even men couldn't bear to look directly at him.

"Are you alright?"

Gen Tsukino glanced at him. "Smoking is not allowed here. There's a sign."

The young man with noticeably triangular eyes frowned and glanced to the side where there was a "No Smoking" sign. But instead of putting out his cigarette, he took a deep drag, as if it were an epic lung-bursting experience, and then gave Tsukino Gen a defiant look.

"none of your business."

"Aren't you afraid of being punished?" Tsukino Gen seemed very curious.

It's like a naive, innocent baby who has never seen the world and is completely clueless about everything.

The young man scoffed, "What kind of punishment is this? Do you think anyone will care?"

"Oh," Tsukino Gen nodded, then held out his hand, "Give me one, please."

"???" The man's eyes widened slightly, as if he had seen an idiot. "Can't you even buy it yourself?"

"I'm a student, I can't buy cigarettes. But I'll have one."

The boy laughed shamelessly and said, "Why would a student smoke?"

"If you can smoke in a non-smoking area, what's wrong with my student having a cigarette? Have one."

"You can do it."

For some reason, the young man's eyes darted around, but he still pulled out a Marlboro.

The boy took the cigarette, then held out his other hand, "Can I borrow a light too?"

"Why don't you have anything?"

"Where would I get the fire if I don't have smoke?"

Gen Tsukino retorted confidently.

".Oh shit."

The young man cursed, but still took out a lighter and handed it to Tsukino Gen. He watched as this boy, who looked very young and seemed to know nothing but a pretty face, lit a cigarette right in front of him.

Then, with considerable skill, he exhaled a puff of smoke, and a beautiful smoke ring billowed from his mouth.

He looked like a heavy smoker.

"You actually smoke?" The young man's attention seemed to be immediately drawn to it. The boy, through the swirling smoke, glanced at him. "Is it something that difficult?"

"You're a student, yet you're more experienced at smoking than I am. That's unbelievable."

The young man said this.

Gen Tsukino smiled and casually squatted down by the roadside.

Like those delinquent teenagers you see everywhere in this city, they always do things they think are unique to show off their individuality. They don't care at all whether it will cause trouble for others or whether it's good or bad for their own health.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then followed him over, squatted down beside him, and said with a smile.

"Was that your girlfriend who just got on the bus?"

"what happened?"

Tsukino Gendo asked.

"Nothing much, she looks pretty hot. Do you know any other girls like her? You could introduce me to one."

"You really dare to think so."

The young man watched as Tsukino Gen casually shoved his lighter into his pocket, and his eye twitched.

"I even gave you a cigarette, and you can't even help me with this little thing?"

The young man seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

Tsukino Gen smiled at him, then exhaled a puff of smoke, almost entirely onto the young man's face. This action was clearly a provocation, and the already short-tempered young man was about to lash out when he heard the boy's nonchalant voice.

"You've been following me all this way, is it a loss for you to take a cigarette from me?"

This sentence came out.

The young man's eyes widened instantly. He immediately stood up and took off running to escape.

But as soon as he took a step, it was as if fate had gripped his neck tightly. Instead of rushing forward, he was pulled back by a powerful force!

"boom!"

Gen Tsukino withdrew his hand from behind his collar and then placed it in front of him, at his throat.

Looking at the young man lying face up next to him, his expression one of terror.

The boy took one last drag of his cigarette, then extinguished it at his feet and tossed it casually into the trash can right in front of the young man.

His fingers gradually tightened, giving the young man a slight, suffocating shock.

Of course, there were some people on the street. But judging from the young man's attire and his nimble movements, it seemed like some kind of street fight among delinquents, and no one dared to interfere.

They were afraid of getting into trouble.

"What are you doing!"

The young man was terrified, but at that moment he knew he could only bluff and pretend to be innocent.

Tsukino Gen smiled at him. "I only said one sentence and you ran away. Isn't your guilty conscience too obvious? Aren't you afraid I'm bluffing you?" The young man's expression became strange, as if he was seriously considering the matter.

But Tsukino Gen shook his head. "But that's not important now. Alright, tell me, who told you to follow me like this?"

Not long after leaving the barbecue restaurant, Tsukino Gen realized that someone was following him. Partly because his senses were very sharp, and partly because the young man's methods of stalking him were indeed rather clumsy.

Regarding the possibility of who sent them, Tsukino Gen had a few guesses. However, he was too lazy to guess; some things were better left to them to prove themselves.

The young man immediately shook his head, "I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean by following you? Let go right now! Or I'll call the police!"

"Call the police?"

Gen Tsukino couldn't help but laugh.

He grabbed the young man by the collar, then stood up and dragged him toward the nearest police station like a dead dog.

"Wait! What are you doing! Where are you taking me?!"

"Didn't you say you were calling the police? I'll take you to see the police."

Gen Tsukino was naturally fearless; he wasn't afraid of the police at all, especially since he had connections in high places.

But this young man was different. Having done such things, he was clearly not clean, despite his usual arrogant demeanor. The moment he saw the police station, his legs went weak, like a mouse seeing a cat. Lacking any understanding of the law, he felt that once he entered this place, he wouldn't be able to leave for at least three to five years.

"Wait! Let's talk this over, wait a minute!!"

"Are you willing to talk now?"

Gen Tsukino lowered his head and looked at him coldly.

The defenseless youth nodded vigorously.

"Um... could we go somewhere else? It's a bit too crowded on the street."

"Then go tell the police."

"I said it, I said it!!"

Gen Tsukino released his grip, coldly staring at the young man slumped on the ground.

He ignored the beads of sweat dripping to the ground, his lips trembling slightly as he said, "I am Bai Feng."

Gen Tsukino had considered several possibilities beforehand.

The White Summit is the most likely, after all, Shinichiro Kawakami had warned him about it before.

Furthermore, if Mochizuki Miki doesn't give up, she might resort to other powers.

There is one last hidden possibility: the Asagiri family. However, if it were the Asagiri family, they probably wouldn't resort to such a clumsy method.

"Who sent you to Baifeng Summit?"

"My boss"

"Why did I bring you along?"

The young man looked bitter. "I don't know either. He just gave me your photo and told me to keep an eye on you, see where you go, who you contact, and report back promptly."

Seeing Tsukino Gen's silent expression, the young man immediately said, "That's really all. I really don't know why I have to follow you. I'm just doing what the boss asks."

"Alright, enough already. You're a grown man, and you're acting like you're about to cry. Let's go."

"where to?"

The young man looked at the boy with a bewildered expression, not understanding what was going on.

"Take me to see your boss."

"Huh? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Tsukino Gen didn't bother arguing with the other party. "Go see the police or your boss, you choose."

"Brother, this way~"

It's rare to see someone bowing and scraping, acting as if they're leading the way.

It took almost an hour to get there, involving both subway and car rides. Tsukino Gen wondered if this young man was playing a trick on him.

However, this young man didn't think about running away, which shows he was somewhat pragmatic.

at last.

They arrived at a relatively remote neighborhood, where there seemed to be few residents, and everywhere were shops and factories that looked like they hadn't been open for a long time and had "For Sale" signs posted.

“This is it”

The young man stopped in front of a car repair shop that seemed to have been closed for a long time.

Gen Tsukino narrowed his eyes slightly.

He saw a faint ray of light shining through the gap in the roller shutter door.

Not only that, he also heard faint sounds of fists being thrown inside.

"Open the door."

The young man hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and pounded on the roller shutter door, shouting.

"Open the door! It's me, Aze!"

Soon, sounds came from inside.

"What are you yelling for! We're here!"

"Clang!"

As the roller shutter slowly opened, the light became increasingly bright.

Tsukino Gen did not deliberately control the young man at this moment. After the roller shutter door was opened wide enough, the young man who called himself Aze rushed in.

He ran while shouting.

"Guards! The troublemakers are here! Help!"

Chaos erupted inside.

Tsukino Gen didn't move at all, standing at the door with one hand in his pocket, until the roller shutter door was fully opened.

It was clearly visible that a row of muscular or strong men were standing inside.

Some were holding wrenches, some were holding steel pipes, and some were holding baseball bats.

They are looking at you with vigilance, or perhaps with predatory eyes.

Aze was staring at him nervously, and said to a man next to him who had a tattoo of a ribbonfish—no, a blue dragon—and was wearing a black vest.

"That's the bastard! Be careful, he's got some skills."

I don't know if that man was the boss Aze was talking about, but he seemed very loyal.

He immediately took the steel pipe and walked towards the boy who had one hand in his pocket.

He cursed as he walked.

"Damn it. You dare to cause trouble on Baifeng Peak's territory? You're asking for it!"

"clang."

The steel pipe in the man's hand bounced twice on the ground before stopping rolling.

As for the tattooed man, he was now hanging from the edge of the arena set up behind the crowd, like a ribbonfish hanging on a clothesline.

The remaining people stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the handsome young man who had taken two steps in.

He tilted his head slightly.

"Let your boss talk to me. Oh, if that was your boss, then please help him down."
