I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

In the dimly lit room, a middle-aged man's voice said, "Come in."

"Yes," a young man outside the door replied.

The wooden door of the old house opened, and the immortal dragon knelt in the corridor outside. After bowing, he walked into the dark room.

Long stepped into the house, which was empty but unusually cold. Various calligraphy works with the words "chivalry" and "loyalty" were displayed, and only a man in his fifties sat on the wooden board.

As if his injuries had been healed, Long stood before the chairman with a stern expression and said to the chairman, who was also his father, in the deserted hall, "Grandpa, I'm back."

"Sit down," the dragon's father said to him, his gaze icy cold.

The immortal dragon sat opposite his father.

"You've been missing for over twenty days since you failed to stand up for the Youjing Group last time. Where have you been?"

"I asked the president."

The dragon supported its body with its hands, knelt down, and said, "I have been defeated and have no face to return to you."

The chairman said, "Yui-oka is dead... In the end, he died from exhaustion for his subordinates. He is a respectable person. You and Ashikawa War Demon did not win that battle, so there is no need to put all the blame on yourself."

The dragon lowered its head and remained silent.

"Don't worry, Dragon. Although you are indeed inexperienced, you are absolutely qualified to inherit the title of 'Undying Dragon.' Japan has already lost a dragon. Back in the 1980s when yakuza were at their peak in Japan, he was only a teenager and was already able to earn the title of 'Japan's Twin Dragons.' 'Dragon of Dojima' has disappeared without a trace, and 'White Dragon of Yui' died in battle for his subordinates. Only you are left, 'Undying Dragon.' Based on my experience, you can definitely occupy a place among the ten strongest yakuza in Japan. Don't be discouraged by such things."

The chairman had absolute confidence in his son, he said.

Japanese yakuza have always upheld the tradition of inheriting the samurai spirit. Even with the advent of firearms in changing times, yakuza still believe that the era of the samurai still exists, with its cycles of life and endless struggles.

However, the dragon did not show any expression or reaction.

His heart is not here.

"Undying Dragon, what are you thinking?"

The guild leader noticed the dragon's condition and asked a question.

After a moment of silence, Long finally spoke, "Grandpa, I want to withdraw from the association."

Suddenly, as if disturbing the gods and demons dwelling in the darkness, the wind kept pounding against the windows of the venue, and fallen leaves were flying everywhere, making the night seem so restless.

The chairman's face contorted with murderous intent as he stared at the dragon in shock.

"Shut up!!!"

The president roared at the dragon as if his heart was being torn apart.

"Have you lost your mind, you son of a bitch?! Do you even know what you're saying?!"

He grabbed the dragon by the collar with both hands and cursed at him.

Without changing his expression, Long said to his father, "I already have a new dream."

"What dream makes you want to leave the club?!" The president shoved him aside, stood up abruptly, and shouted.

In the empty and dark underworld venue, the Undying Dragon, sitting on the ground, looked at his father and said, "I... have a girlfriend."

This statement was unexpected, and the president was stunned for a moment.

"Girlfriend?" the guild leader asked, puzzled. "That's strange. What conflict would having a girlfriend have with your decision to quit?"

"Because I found the woman I truly love, my soul has found its home. I don't want to burden her life because of my yakuza ways. Before he passed away, Yui told me that I must be determined to pursue my dreams..."

"You take that guy's casual remark as if I'm your father? Then what do my words mean?!"

The president delivered a heavy punch to Long's face, shouting angrily and rapidly.

But Long caught the punch steadily with one hand.

"You gave me my life, sir. You are the person I respect most in my life. But even with respect, I want to have my own life. Please grant me that wish, sir!"

The dragon seemed unable to change its mind and shouted loudly to its father. Suddenly, it fell face-first to the ground, its head slamming heavily onto the wooden plank, cracking it instantly!

Wood chips flew everywhere, creating a tremendous noise.

His father was completely stunned by Long's actions.

He knew his son too well... The dragon's mind was made up, and he would never change his mind, even if it meant death.

The room fell completely silent.

Finally, his father asked, "Is that girl really that cute?"

"Yes." Blood began to seep from the wooden board where the dragon's forehead touched, he said.

"...Are you really sure?"

His father asked again.

The dragon raised its head, its face covered in blood, and said solemnly, "Yes, I know the rules... I will cut off my finger as an apology."

He took the dagger from the knife rack, then drew the blade, its cold light reflecting off his face.

Life can make you a hero, or it can make you an ordinary person.

The dragon chose the latter.

They chose the happiness they longed for.

Long placed his finger on the wooden board, preparing to cut off a finger in front of his father with the blade as an apology for withdrawing.

At that moment, a hand firmly grasped his blade.

At that moment, his father still chose to stop him.

"If the dragon's finger is broken, his future is completely over."

Blood from his father's hand flowed down the blade and onto the ground. He looked at him expressionlessly and said...

In the darkness, his father spoke in silence: "Long, your temporary loss of direction may also be due to the influence of the Youjingang incident."

"It's okay to quit, but before you quit, do one more thing."

His father looked down at him and said, "This time, I want you to defeat the War Demon."

Long stood frozen in place... ready to face the Ashikawa War Demon once more...

However, a few minutes after a group leader from Chenqi's group returned to apologize, a figure outside the hall vaguely heard those last words.

Chapter 055 The Secret Assassination Plan

In June, after a brief downpour, two days of scorching heat followed.

4:30 PM.

Among a group of students near the crowded tram door, Yukino Yukinoshita unintentionally stood next to Hina Nitta after school.

Hina Nitta kept staring at Yukino, seemingly having forgotten her, yet still vaguely recognizing her.

"Do you remember me? I was the senior student you and your brother met when I was buying groceries that night."

Yukino Yukinoshita introduced herself with a calm expression.

"I think... I have a vague recollection of it."

Nitta Hina slightly raised her head, looking at the beautiful woman in the white shirt and with long black hair, and murmured something.

Since she had already greeted him, Yukino felt rather awkward that he seemed to have forgotten, so she prompted him, "It was already evening that day. Your brother was talking to me about something, and you interrupted him. Do you remember that time?"

These words sparked a flash of inspiration in Hina Nitta's mind, instantly bringing back a vivid memory.

"Ah, I remember now, you're the girl Ah Xuan confessed to!"

The sound was quite loud, and immediately, several boys and girls in the carriages turned to look at them.

"..." Yukino always felt that her younger sister's thinking was really simple.

Do you attend a junior high school nearby?

As the tram was moving, Yukino asked.

"Yes, I attend Watanabe Junior High School."

Nitta Hina replied.

Yukino smiled, and after a moment of calm, asked, "By the way, how's your brother doing lately? Is he alright?"

"Well, it seems he's found a new job. He doesn't get back until 6:40 every day, and his dinner time has been delayed by half an hour. He's been busier than ever."

Xiao Chu told Li Xuan about his recent situation.

"......Yeah?"

Yukino paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Um, can I ask you something?" Xiaochu asked.

Yukino snapped out of her daze, glanced at Kohina, and asked, "Hmm, what is it?"

"Ah Xuan seems really tired lately, and he's been acting a bit neurotic. Although he's always been neurotic, I've heard that too much stress can lead to mental breakdowns and abnormal behavior, and that people need to release that stress. Will Ah Xuan become like that too?"

Hina asked.

Yukino looked at the little girl with some surprise in the carriage, feeling that her comments about her brother were a bit too much, and asked, "Is he under a lot of pressure lately?"

The chick nodded.

A week has passed since the last student council election.

During this period, my Line records stopped a week ago...

Even now, in the afternoon, the weather is still unbearably hot. During the school festival, that person helped her all day long under the blazing sun.

Although she sensed that Li Xuan might be trying to repay the favor of introducing her to the job, she was still hesitant about the way he was doing it...

The effort put in was significantly greater than what she put in that time.

What are his usual ways of relieving stress?

Yukino asked.

Tick-tock, tick-tock...

The sound of tram tracks could be heard continuously.

"I feel like they're doing something related to figurines and games."
