"Killed someone and robbed their clothes, right?" Xu Xiaoyou glanced and said. "Do the Saji People even know how to do laundry?"
"Exactly." Chichu Chun spread his hands, "Being honest on the job for just a second would be the death of these old crooks; murder and robbery are the norms."
"Where to next?" Chichu Chun looked at Xu Xiaoyou.
"Hmm..."
Xu Xiaoyou pondered for a moment and sighed.
"You’re right, Xiaochun."
"I’ve been too concerned about social niceties."
"Next, let’s solve it my preferred way."
...
On the top floor of Heaven Gospel Hotel, Ryuzaka Saburo flicked a cigar with his fingertips, his eyes subtly squinting under sunglasses, crossing his legs enjoying a sunbath. Nearby, several gang members stood solemnly, while a journalist with a swollen face knelt on the ground, occasionally tremblingly raising his head only to quickly bow it again, afraid of drawing the man’s attention.
He was the most powerful man in this city, the future heir to Ryuzaka Technology Company, secretly forming networks throughout the underground forces, publicly maintaining ties with high officials of the Wind Crane Family, able to mediate conflicts between black and white factions with his mere presence; nothing in this city could escape his word.
If anything did, you just added some emphasis.
"I’m very curious, who exactly gave you the courage to go undercover in Ryuzaka for so many years?"
Ryuzaka Saburo’s voice was low and hoarse, his imposing presence further terrified the journalist.
"I just... I just..."
Suddenly, the journalist threw himself at Ryuzaka Saburo’s feet, trying to hold the man’s leg, but was pressed down by several men.
"I was just out of my mind, someone said if I gathered dirt on Ryuzaka, I’d get a big sum of money, my wife is ill, I really can’t afford the long-term treatment costs."
The journalist cried out,
"Please, give me another chance, I’m willing to be loyal to Mr. Ryuzaka, I will be loyal, I can give up the mastermind behind, as long as you are willing to let me go, I’m willing to do anything!"
Snot and tears mixed together as the journalist humbly tried to lick the man’s shoes, only to be kicked away by Ryuzaka Saburo.
"くそやろ (damn), spineless fool, take his hand."
Ryuzaka Saburo scornfully signaled his subordinates.
A few men understood, stepped forward to restrain the journalist. With a heart-wrenching wail, a bloody arm was thrown in front of the journalist, followed by a hefty sum credited to his account.
"Go, this arm is your payment for the mistake you made." Ryuzaka Saburo said in broken Jiulong Language.
"Everything comes with a price."
"Sichen-san, what do you think?"
Next to him, Wind Crane Sicheng, hearing the words navigating through the synesthesia beacon, couldn’t help but bow his head with a laugh, his expression quickly turned serious.
"Indeed, everything comes with a price, no exceptions."
The journalist, enduring intense pain, grasped his arm and nodded, quickly disappearing from the view of the two.
"Yes, everything comes with a price."
Just then, an untimely voice rang out, the two were taken aback, only to see a blonde girl step out, glance at the Moon Sugar on the table.
In their nearly astonished gaze, Xu Xiaoyou shoved a notebook into Ryuzaka Saburo’s chest, casually took the cigar from his hand.
"Black Gold Manor vsika1266, no taste." After a cursory glance, Xu Xiaoyou tossed the cigar into the trashcan and continued,
"Bring me the detailed network of Moon Sugar sales from recent years to view, then write all the contacts of suppliers, intermediaries, dealers down, make sure to write them all, no leaks, specific to each version of Moon Sugar."
Saying that, Xu Xiaoyou glanced at several astounded gang members nearby.
"You guys over there, stop standing around like idiots, call your people to start moving, within two hours I want every person from black and white factions in this city to gather here."
Several were stupefied, not even mentioning how she appeared here naturally ordering them to do this and that, you would think she is the BOSS, does her brain have a problem?
Your home??
"And you, don’t think about running." Xu Xiaoyou called out to Wind Crane Sicheng who was trying to sneak away.
"Not to mention, your work efficiency is too low, right? The Patriarch of the Wind Crane Family can’t command you, let’s see if my words work."
"Who the hell are you?" Ryuzaka Saburo’s forehead pulsed, black lines spread across his face.
"I’m the Secretary-General." Xu Xiaoyou said calmly.
After a moment, she shook her head.
"Not now, but the future Secretary-General."
"Why are you still dawdling, am I raising you to freeload on food?" Ryuzaka Saburo shouted angrily, "Finish off this blind fool for me!"
A few subordinates belatedly pounced.
Xu Xiaoyou sighed lightly, slowly closed her eyes.
The hands of time began to reverse, a moment later, a pair of beautiful eyes opened.
By the time Ryuzaka Saburo came to his senses, several gang members had fallen haphazardly, the blonde girl hadn’t moved from start to end, the whole person seemed transformed into a demon, with eyes like amber trying to engulf everything in the world.
Ryuzaka Saburo felt a pair of hands tightly clutching his heart, suffocation came crashing in waves, he was about to be pressed to death by this suffocation.
In the blink of an eye, the oppressive atmosphere dissipated, Xu Xiaoyou still crossed her arms over her chest; the coat on her shoulders fluttered in the wind, the girl’s face portrayed a signature serene smile.
"Sorry, I forgot, compared to the Secretary-General, my other moniker from recent times is more familiar."
"I’m ’Dark Gold Rose’."
Returning from a daze, Ryuzaka Saburo felt as if he had just run a hundred-kilometer marathon, exhausted, ignoring his image, hurriedly instructed his subordinates.
"Do..."
"Quickly do as she said!"
A moment later, he belatedly realized, he was the only one left standing.
"I’ll get right to it, ’Dark Gold Rose’ ma’am."
Bowing repeatedly, Ryuzaka Saburo hurriedly walked downstairs.
"Making such a big fuss, is there really no problem?" Chichu Chun remarked as he looked at the chaos.
Soon, only Wind Crane Sicheng with a deathly pale face remained on site. He couldn’t understand why the Young Master and that Dark Gold Rose would appear here without any warning...
"You should be aware of the punishment for betraying the family, right, Wind Crane Sicheng?" Chichu Chun’s tone was icy.
"I hope you can calmly accept the price."
...
In New Nara City’s dark side, turmoil brewed, all levels of gang members simultaneously received the highest-level red-letter order, whether in bathhouses or nightclubs, even in squalid places. The city’s gang apparatuses rapidly began operations.
Less than an hour later, the high-profile figures who usually had their way in New Nara City, now all like subordinates waiting for criticism with heads bowed, lined the sides, silence pervaded the meeting room of hundreds, none dared to break it.
Sitting at the head, Xu Xiaoyou put down the report, rubbing her nose bridge.
"It’s really unbearable to look at. I say, your conscience doesn’t trouble you at all?"
Everyone’s corner of their mouth twitched.
Before becoming the nominal Secretary-General, who doesn’t know of Dark Gold Rose’s infamous name?
You’re probably the least qualified to say that, right!?
