I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

Li Xuan was being tormented, repeatedly "deceived" by Yang Nai, yet he only realized Yang Nai's true intentions later on.

Yukino Yukinoshita, what have you been through that makes you so adept at hiding your true emotions deep inside?

Li Xuan looked at the girl right in front of him and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. They won't be able to hurt a hair on your head this time. After all, you are an important partner of the Ashikawa Group. I will protect you, Miss Yukinoshita."

Upon hearing this, Yang Nai blinked and then said, "This time you said it yourself, not that I asked you to."

No bodyguard could compare to the tangible sense of security she felt when he was by her side...

※※※※

At 11:30, Li Xuan escorted Yang Nai safely back to his home.

After arranging for people to protect the Yang family residence, while the Mercedes was in motion, the young master Baba Kiyoshi finally received a call.

"Young Master, is there any news?"

Li Xuan asked.

—【I've got it! Miss Yukinoshita has excellent observation skills. She wasn't wrong; a gang has indeed re-emerged with the Yukinoshita family.】

Li Xuan was stunned; it actually existed.

—【Ah Xuan, guess who it is? It's our old friend, that gang from the Kansai region.】

Baba Kiyoshi relayed enemy intelligence to Li Xuan.

A member of a Kansai gang?

Has Centurion Nagano's gang returned to fight again?!

Li Xuan asked in astonishment, "What's going on? It's their fault again. Didn't they already reach a reconciliation with Father and the Yukinoshita family?"

—【That's right, but that reconciliation was only achieved based on the intimidation of a certain person. The Kansai gangs are much more powerful than our Ashikawa-gumi, do you understand what I mean?】

"...Do they have the reason and the ability to return?"

Li Xuan thought for a moment and then asked.

—Have you heard of Sotenbori in Osaka?

Young Master Machang Qing asked.

Li Xuan said, "Never heard of it, what is it?"

—[That was a bustling commercial street in Osaka, home to one of Japan's most powerful yakuza gangs.]

—[There, there's another man who must be mentioned... "Shimano's Mad Dog."]

In the pitch-black night, Li Xuan heard this title and his mind stirred.

— [Goro Majima]

Li Xuan was silent for a moment before saying, "I've heard of him. I've heard that almost everyone in the underworld knows him."

—【Yes, almost everyone knows him. He's a legendary man, a madman who became famous twenty years before you. When I was young and his peer, I would absolutely never dare to mess with him.】

Baba Kiyoshi's tone was tinged with suspicion as he introduced the person.

—[I heard that several gangs in Kansai hired him to deal with you. This is a very serious matter, Ah Xuan. Go back to the company immediately tomorrow for a meeting. I'll have Dad and the elders discuss a strategy.]

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan replied, "Alright, thank you for your trouble, young master."

It's clear that this opponent is extremely dangerous. This is the first time that young master Baba Kiyoshi has had to ask a senior figure to come forward for a meeting.

It was as if the person he wanted to protect wasn't the Yukinoshita family, but... himself.

As expected, trouble began to find him after his name, "Demon of Ashikawa," became widely known.

......

Furthermore, unbeknownst to Li Xuan, there were indeed people observing their area from the outskirts of Chiba University.

"That 'war demon' you mentioned, is that the kid?"

In the darkness, a man in his fifties with an odd hairstyle and an eye patch covering one eye asked.

"That's right, it's that guy with the short blond hair. Don't you think... he looks a lot like you thirty years ago?"

The man standing next to the blindfolded man was none other than Xiangshan, an underground boxing businessman.

Two burly men stood at the end of the street, sizing up the figure of Zhan Gui Li Xuan, who had just walked out of Chiba University.

"..."

The blindfolded man watched quietly for a while, and for some reason, he did vaguely see some of his former self in the figure of that young man in his early twenties.

Arrogant, cold, and filled with an indecisive personality...

But he's also a ruthless character who knows when to cut ties.

The blindfolded man paused for a few seconds without saying a word.

Xiangshan glanced at him and revealed a meaningful smile.

"No, no, it's not the same."

The man with the eye patch shook his head and denied it.

Xiangshan asked, "What's different?"

The blindfolded man pointed at the other person and said seriously, "That kid is obviously more handsome than me."

Xiangshan chuckled, took a drag of his cigarette, and said, "If you had been more serious when you were younger, you could have debuted as an idol."

The blindfolded man's voice was shrill and arrogant as he laughed, "I can still debut in nightclubs now, and I'm even more popular than you think, you bastard."

"Your skin has gotten quite thick."

Xiangshan said.

"How boring, I'm going back!" The eyepatch-wearing man waved his hand and prepared to leave.

Azuma looked at him and asked, "Majima, now that you've come all the way to Chiba, aren't you really planning to do some sightseeing?"

"I came here to see Kiryu, not to reminisce with you about the past..." The eyepatch-wearing man glanced at Aizama and asked, "Has your name become Aizama here?"

"I've been called by this name for a long time, please don't call me by my old name anymore."

Xiangshan said to him.

"Okay, Xiao Xiangshan~~~"

The man with the eye mask called his name in a very ambiguous tone.

However, just as the blindfolded man was about to leave, an unexpected scene unfolded.

He saw that there was a short-haired girl next to the war demon.

Li Xuan walked beside him, and the short-haired girl walked beside him. The two of them walked under the endless dark night sky. That scene made the blindfolded man stop in his tracks.

It feels like thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The blindfolded man stood alone in the dark street, suddenly falling silent as he watched the scene unfold.

He was captivated by the young gangster and the girl as they walked and talked.

"Xiao Xiangshan, the person that kid was protecting, is that the woman?"

The blindfolded man came back and asked Xiangshan.

Azuma said, "That's right, that female student is the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family. I heard that she was the one who spearheaded the cooperation with the Ashikawa group. I've always been puzzled by this. Why would the daughter of a prefectural assemblyman always form a partnership with the culprit who bombed her family's construction project? What exactly happened... Hehe, we can't find out the inside story for now, but I'm quite interested in that kid. Aren't you, Majima?"

Majima... Majima Goro.

".....hehe."

Goro Majima suddenly burst into wild laughter, causing passersby around the street to keep their distance from the middle-aged man who had suddenly started laughing like a madman.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Goro Majima gave a strange smile and said, "I've suddenly become interested."

"The Ashikawa Group, I remember... it's a territory called Chikura-cho, right?"

Majima Goro's eyes sharpened, and he asked.

"What do you plan to do?" Xiangshan asked, seeing that he was genuinely interested.

"How to do it? Of course, it's... to invade Qiancang Street."

Goro Majima spread his hands, revealing a sinister smile, and said.

......

The next day.

Qiancang Subdistrict.

A horrifying scene unfolded on the busy main road.

Before Li Xuan could even reach Yang Nai's side, he had to deal with a tricky situation first.

In the bustling city streets, two gangs, totaling more than a hundred people, clashed in a standoff.

On one side was Li Xuan, a well-dressed "office worker" dressed in a shirt and leather shoes, and his more than fifty subordinates.

On the other side were construction workers who had all taken off their shirts, revealing their muscles and tattoos, and wearing work helmets, along with their team leader—[Mad Dog] Goro Majima.

Two madmen leaders from different eras confronted each other in Qiancang Street.

"Nice to meet you."

Goro Majima gave a strange smile and said, "My name is Goro Majima, and I'm the president of Majima Construction. My company will be located on this street from now on. Nice to meet you!"

In the afternoon, during the season of drizzling rain, the rumbling trams flashed their lights, illuminating the somewhat gray sky.

"Gentlemen, elders, welcome to this meeting amidst your busy schedules. I recall it's been a long time since we've held such a high-level meeting. The topics for discussion today are very serious..."
