The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

At the same time, Ye Linyuan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the documents Xiao Ruoxi handed him.

"Yamaguchi-gumi? Yamaguchi-gumi?"

Xiao Ruoxi nodded and introduced.

"Yes, the Yamaguchi-gumi is the largest yakuza organization in Japan, with over 100,000 members, controlling one-third of the country's underworld business. Yamaguchi Dai is 65 years old this year, ruthless, and a godfather-like figure in the Japanese underworld."

That sounds pretty impressive.

Ye Linyuan nodded in understanding, and then voiced his doubts.

"Then why is he causing me trouble?"

Xiao Ruoxi shook her head upon hearing this, equally confused about what had happened, but she still told Ye Linyuan the information she had received.

"I don't know the specifics, but our people received information that Yamaguchi met with people from the Prime Minister's official residence yesterday, and then began to mobilize manpower. Your target is very likely you."

Ye Linyuan smiled.

"Interesting. I just dealt with the Sumiyoshi-kai, and now the Yamaguchi-gumi is jumping in. Is they seeking revenge for their rivals?"

Xiao Ruoxi's expression turned serious.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, Yuan-ge. You have to be careful. The Yamaguchi-gumi and the Sumiyoshi-kai are not on the same level. They have deep connections in the political and business worlds, and even have close ties with the Self-Defense Forces. If they want to make a move against you, it will be very troublesome. Even the US military stationed in Japan can't do anything about it."

Upon hearing Xiao Ruoxi's words, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but laugh.

Although Xiao Ruoxi is the only female among the younger generation of the Xiao family and is quite capable, she is not the heir of the Xiao family and does not have a clear understanding of the power of the eight major families.

Ye Linyuan leaned back in his chair, a playful smile on his face.

"It's alright, Ruoxi. You're not very clear about the power of the eight great families. I guess that's why your Xiao family's patriarch asked you to come to Qianri Kingdom with me."

"Of course, this is a small matter that wouldn't warrant the use of the hidden power of the eight great families."

As he spoke, Ye Linyuan took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey John, it's me. I have a job offer, want it or not?"

As Ye Linyuan finished speaking, a rough male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh? Ye? It's been a long time since we last contacted each other. You suddenly reached out to me; did you find me some big business opportunity?"

"It's nothing much, it's just that the biggest gang in the Thousand Days Kingdom wants to kill me."

"...Fuck them, let's see who dares!"

Even though Ye Linyuan and John on the other end of the phone weren't there, Xiao Ruoxi could still sense how angry the other party was, because the various swearing English on the other end of the phone just wouldn't stop!

Almost half an hour later, perhaps John on the other end had finished cursing, he finally spoke to Ye Linyuan and asked a question.

"Tell me, Ye, how many people do you need?"

"A battalion, fully equipped, capable of urban warfare."

"A battalion? You fucking want to go to war?!"

"Just tell me whether you'll answer or not."

"Accept! Why wouldn't we accept! But it's the same old deal, ten million US dollars a day, equipment wear and tear extra."

"make a deal."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Linyuan looked at Xiao Ruoxi.

"Look, Ruoxi, isn't that all? In this world, as long as you have money, you can solve 99% of things. The reason why you can't solve the remaining things is because you don't have enough money."

Xiao Ruoxi stared at Ye Linyuan, completely stunned.

She truly hadn't expected that her brother Yuan could so easily gather a battalion of men, and judging from what he said, their firepower was probably quite formidable.

"Brother Yuan, who were you calling just now?"

"John, the boss of Blackwater, I saved him once back in America, he owes me a favor, and now I'm paying it back."

Blackwater is the world's largest private military contractor, also known as a mercenary group.

Xiao Ruoxi felt her brain was a bit overwhelmed. She was genuinely curious about what her brother Yuan had been doing in the United States for the past four years.

First it was Maple Leaf Group, and now it's Blackwater Company. What else is there that they don't know?

Ignoring Xiao Ruoxi's strange gaze, Ye Linyuan walked to the window, looked at the rising sun outside, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"Ruoxi, do you know what I hate most?"

"What?"

"Passively taking the beating!"

Ye Linyuan turned around, his smile completely gone, his eyes as cold as knives.

"Whoever they are, if they want to play, I'll play along to the end. Yamaguchi-gumi? Yamaguchi-dai? Ha, I'll see if they kill me first, or if I uproot them first!"

Meanwhile, at the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters in Tokyo, Yamaguchi Dai sat on a tatami mat, toying with a samurai sword in his hand.

He was 65 years old, bald, with a scar running diagonally from his forehead to his chin, which looked like a centipede crawling when he smiled.

"So, Ryuichi Sato's daughter wants to see me?"

The group members kneeling below lowered their heads even further, their voices trembling slightly.

"Yes, team leader, she said she wants to avenge her father and is willing to pay any price."

"Any price? Heh heh, fine, let her in first."

Yamaguchi laughed, a ferocious laugh that sent chills down one's spine.

A few minutes later, Keiko Sato walked in. She was a girl who looked to be about twenty years old, with long black hair, a white dress, and tear stains on her face, but her eyes were very calm, so calm that she didn't look like a girl who had just lost her father.

"Boss Yamaguchi, please help me! Avenge our Sumiyoshi-kai! Avenge my father!"

The moment Sato Keiko saw Yamaguchi Dai, she knelt down, her forehead pressed firmly against the ground.

Yamaguchi Dai didn't say anything, just stared at her, looking her up and down, front and back, his eyes like knives, stripping her bare.

After a long while, Yamaguchi finally spoke, his voice as hoarse as ever.

"Sato Keiko, is it? Your father, Sato Ryuichi, is dead, and the Sumiyoshi-kai has fallen. Instead of trying to escape and find somewhere to hide, you come looking for me? Do you think I, Yamaguchi Dai, am a soft-hearted person?"

"Don't forget, the Yamaguchi-gumi and your Sumiyoshi-kai have always been enemies!"

Upon hearing Yamaguchi Dai's words, Sato Keiko abruptly raised her head and stared directly at the old man who controlled the largest yakuza organization in the entire country.

"Because you can help me get revenge. Ye Linyuan killed my father and destroyed the Sumiyoshi-kai. I want him dead."

"You?"

Keiko Sato pulled a short knife from her bosom, held it with both hands, and spoke with unwavering determination!

"Me? I know Ye Linyuan's residence in Tokyo and the women around him. If I can infiltrate his territory, I'll cut off Ye Linyuan's head with a single stroke!"

Upon hearing this, Yamaguchi narrowed his eyes.

Although he was speechless at Sato Keiko's utterly foolish idea, when he thought of the mission the prime minister's men had given him not long ago, he actually thought Sato Keiko was a pretty good assassin.

Moreover, Sato Keiko is quite good-looking, so before that, he can vent the anger he suffered at the hands of the Prime Minister!

Thinking of this, Yamaguchi burst into laughter.

"Alright, I'll take you in and help you get revenge, but there are conditions!"
