I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

The informant replied, "I understand, it's not like it's the first time I've done this. But what are you going to do next? This job is definitely going to be tough..."

The informant looked at Li Xuan with a pained expression and gave him a hint.

The bustling city outside was extremely noisy, but the back alley was remarkably calm and quiet. Standing in the back alley, Li Xuan fell silent, thought calmly for a moment, and said firmly, "I have to do it no matter what. This is all for my [family] (referring to the company's more than one hundred subordinates). No matter how dangerous it is, I can only move forward."

Li Xuan left.

Yukino Yukinoshita stood in the shadows, her expression turning somewhat somber.

She remembered that he had a younger sister...

Sometimes, it's not about what's right or wrong that determines a person's choices.

Although selling one's body and dignity is indeed wrong.

"【The Demon of Ashikawa】..." Yukino Yukinoshita pondered, puzzled, "Why are all his card names so strange?"

PS: A certain girl, despite being misled by the other person's numerous misconceptions, actually came to understand him correctly.

Chapter 017 The Extreme Path of Dark Rain

On a hillside overlooking Chiba City.

"These are their documents, and the background information for that piece of land."

Li Xuan handed the collected information to Yukinoshita and said.

Thank you so much.

Yukino put away the document and said with a slight smile.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: you need to handle this matter carefully. The conflicting interests are too complicated. Although I don't know how to start the negotiations, you have so many connections, so just handle it with caution."

Standing atop a hillside, surrounded by dense woods and a cool breeze, Li Xuan made a suggestion with an air of indifference. Behind the clearing lay the bustling city of Chiba.

"Yes, thank you," Yukinoshita Haruno nodded and said.

She could feel the weight of this document and how hard-won it was.

Despite the fact that her father's business partners, the police, and the yakuza couldn't find any clues, the Ashikawa Group managed to gather them all in a single day. Therefore, all the cooperative requests she had made of Li Xuan had been fulfilled.

"Thank you for your hard work. You are truly capable. I need to go back and discuss this with my father to decide on our next course of action."

On the hillside, Yukino stood in the cool breeze, her hair flowing, looking at Li Xuan and speaking.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Then, I'll head back first. I'll leave the rest to you."

Li Xuan had only taken a few steps toward his car when Yukinoshita Haruno turned around and called out to him.

"Mr. War Ghost".

"?" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Yang Nai with a puzzled expression.

Yukino asked suspiciously, "If I may be so bold as to ask, how did you and my sister meet?"

Li Xuan was immediately startled, and his expression froze.

"...This is just a brief encounter. We met by chance while shopping. Anyway, I have absolutely no relationship with her, so you don't need to worry."

Li Xuan spoke vaguely and appeared slightly nervous as he defended the woman's sister.

"It's alright, I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that protecting my younger sister is my responsibility as an older sister. I was just asking casually, so please don't take offense."

Yukinoshita smiled and said.

Li Xuan and Yang Nai exchanged a glance before parting ways.

To be honest, the legendary Yakuza War Demon, Gen Nitta, is indeed a rather eccentric person.

On the one hand, he is indeed very dangerous.

On the other hand, he is a special person.

According to the information obtained by Yukino Yukinoshita, this young man may have been hired to attack Yukino in the past.

But why it stopped remains a mystery.

After all, it's all just speculation, and rumors can't be taken as evidence, but this war demon from Ashikawa is indeed unpredictable.

That straight, receding figure—I really don't know what kind of person he is...

In the mountains and forests.

Yang Nai was just about to get into the car when her phone rang.

She took out her phone next to the car to check the incoming call, and her expression changed slightly.

It seems that someone still knows where she's been lately...

※※※※※※※

Back at the construction site, Li Xuan watched as truckloads of steel bars were unloaded, and he felt much better.

These are all valuable stockpiles that I bought from Yukinoshita's store at a low price.

Gathering intelligence through Chiba's underground connections in exchange for this capital that guarantees a peaceful and prosperous life is truly a win-win business.

Japanese yakuza culture is reminiscent of old-era civilian armed groups, the most famous being the Shinsengumi. However, not all groups could be granted the title of samurai; many more were violent groups formed by dockworkers struggling in turbulent times, becoming political pawns.

The Yakuza companies that survived by different means also believed in different beliefs in different eras.

The Ashikawa group seems to embody the spirit of chivalry quite well; they might even become one of the Shinsengumi of the new era in Japan...

Li Xuan was having some wild thoughts. He didn't know much about Japanese history, but as a cadre in Ashikawa, he was actually doing quite well.

Today is a memorable day.

"Everyone, let's go to a restaurant for a meal after get off work!"

Li Xuan announced this to the more than forty workers at the construction site.

"Oh oh oh!!"

"The boss is treating!"

"It's been so long since we had a get-together, hooray!"

A group of construction workers who were working hard on the construction site cheered.

Facing his own construction site and his subordinates who were willing to believe in and follow him, Li Xuan knew that in Qianye's world, there would always be a piece of land for them to live on.

As night fell, the sky rumbled, as if it were about to rain again.

May is a month where the weather can change drastically, from sunny to rainy in an instant. After a large group of people from the construction site boarded a bus, they headed off to the pub in a lively atmosphere.

At seven o'clock, a heavy rain began to fall.

"Hey, Hina, it's me." Li Xuan called Hina Nitta and said, "I might be back a little late today, order some takeout... Are you coming over too? No, no, no, minors aren't allowed in places like this to drink. Um, I'll bring you some late-night snacks... My phone's almost dead, that's all..."

After calling Chu, Li Xuan left his phone charging in the tavern, drank a few glasses of wine, and then went to the corridor to look at the rain curtain under the eaves.

rustling......

An old-fashioned izakaya, a bustling group of drinking companions, and a courtyard and woods pattering in the rain.

I know, after all, you and I are from two different worlds, you're a person without friends.

"..."

Li Xuan fell silent.

Under the eaves of the old school building, the innocent and romantic high school girl on the other side reiterated the point he had emphasized to her. Her smile was cute and cheerful, yet also insincere. Her words seemed to say, "You're a bit sensitive," and also to remind him, in his moment of forgetfulness, that she was a yakuza...

In fact, he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard those words that he always emphasized to others.

He didn't become a yakuza member voluntarily...

Thinking of this, he recalled how Yang Nai had suddenly asked him about that pretty high school girl during the day.

"..."

For some reason, Li Xuan was somewhat concerned about Qi Yangnai's future plans.

A major gang in the Kanto region, comparable in strength to the Ashikawa-gumi, but more dangerous and warlike in nature; they are also rumored to be involved in smuggling.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan felt a sense of unease. He himself was unsure how to resolve the grudges, but the Yukino family had connections on both the black and white sides, so they would naturally have a way.

But I still want to ask how Yukinoshita Haruno intends to handle this matter.

He didn't know why, but every time he called Yukino Yukinoshita, he felt a little strange. He thought of her as a mysterious, intelligent, and charming beauty, as well as a scheming and troublesome female college student.

He had just returned to the banquet hall from the corridor when he saw his follower, Tamura, put down his phone.

Has anyone called?

Seeing this, Li Xuan asked.

"Yes, boss. A lady named Yukino Yukinoshita just called you and wants to tell you something."

Tamura, the lackey, spoke with a cheerful tone, turning to his leader.

"..."

Li Xuan paused slightly, looking at his phone.

.......

The rain was heavy.

Yang Nai finished dinner and prepared to drive home.

Two Chiba police officers also boarded the escorting police vehicle and left with Haruno's Crown.

.......

A flash of lightning streaked across the night sky.

"What did you say? Say it again!?"

Inside the izakaya, after hearing Tamura's retelling, Li Xuan's face was filled with astonishment, and his eyes widened.

"She said she had already handed over all the information to the police."

Tamura looked bewildered, not understanding what his boss was so shocked about, and repeated himself.
