Although Mai Zhuo's face was very gentle, it still exuded a Western charm, and it was common for her to be mistaken for a European. Wan Gui said, "Li Weijun, where did you find this secretary? How come I didn't know?" Li Wei said, "She just started today. I'm planning to bring her back to meet you tonight."
Manki's expression was somewhat strange. If Li Wei said he was going to take her back to the Kagura family mansion, then she shouldn't be some random person. It all depended on how Li Wei explained it. Although she didn't mind Li Wei having other girls with him, Chizuru's expression would definitely be quite unpleasant.
Chapter 329. The Calm Wan Gui
Wan Gui looked at Mai Zhuo curiously. She wanted to complain in her heart that Li Wei was too easy to attract women outside. If she wasn't careful, Li Wei could bring a girl back. But Li Wei wouldn't bring back any random people.
After carefully understanding the situation, she was able to comprehend the actions of the girls from the Shiranui school and Athena Asamiya.
Therefore, when she saw Mai Zhuo, she didn't throw a tantrum and curse like other women. Instead, she patiently waited for Li Wei to give her an explanation. She knew that Li Wei had his bottom line.
"Aren't you going to introduce this gentleman? Li Weijun," Wan Gui said with a smile.
Li Wei was unaware of Wan Gui's anger and inwardly marveled at how Wan Gui truly possessed the demeanor of a principal wife; her attitude and temperament were simply superb.
However, Li Wei was not flustered. After all, Mai Zhuo's situation was what it was. He didn't even need to make up a new reason. He could just selectively focus on the key points of what had happened before.
Li Wei did the same. After spending a few minutes explaining in detail the issues between Mai Zhuo and the Toyoshima Foundation, Wan Gui, with his arms crossed, nodded repeatedly and even showed an expression of righteous indignation.
Wan Gui said, "That kind of bastard deserves to be taught a lesson. Making him a eunuch is too lenient. The Amano family behind the Toyoshima Group has never had a good reputation. I didn't expect you, Li Weijun, to run into them. What do you plan to do?"
Li Wei laughed and said, "Just punish the ringleaders. After all, this is an issue at the top of the Toyoshima Group, and it has nothing to do with the ordinary employees. However, this time they'll have to find new jobs." Wan Gui said, "Li Wei, are you planning to take action against the Toyoshima Group?"
Li Wei nodded and said, "I am a very protective person. Every girl around me is the most precious treasure bestowed upon me by God. Moreover, since the Amano family's vicious dog dared to lay a hand on me, the Amano family, as the dog's owner, will surely pay the price."
The moment Li Wei uttered those words, the Amano family, with its over 100-year history, began its countdown. Novels require logic, but reality often doesn't. The rise and fall of a powerful family can be decided by a seemingly insignificant event. However, reality is like that; the world is a game of big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. To ordinary people, the Toyoshima Group is a behemoth they dare not provoke, but for the truly elite, destroying the Toyoshima Group is an incredibly simple matter.
Not to mention a strong person like Li Wei who can directly ignore the rules, even the Kagura family, by relying on the means within the rules of the game, can easily destroy the Toyoshima Zaibatsu. A newly established Zaibatsu with a family status that is only at the bottom of the samurai class is like a fish on a chopping board when facing the higher-ranking noble families and senior samurai, at their mercy.
Wan Gui said, "Do you need any help? After all, Li Weijun, you don't have much influence in Japan. Leave these kinds of miscellaneous matters to me."
Li Wei laughed and said, "There's no need to trouble you, Wan Gui. There's no need to expose our true strength because of such a bug. The Kagura family has always kept a low profile, and we also need to deal with higher-level threats. I'm prepared to personally crush bugs like this." Wan Gui nodded. The so-called higher-level threat was the group of Eight Heroes, those madmen who wanted to revive Orochi. They were the ones the Kagura family needed to be most wary of.
The Kagura family's strength is mostly tied up in the open and covert struggles with the Orochi Kin, leaving them unable to extricate themselves.
If it weren't for this reason, the power that the Kagura family could unleash would be enough to make everyone take notice. As the head of the Three Sacred Treasures families, they are only officially ranked second because their power is too dispersed, scattered throughout Japan. If these people were to come together, they would form a considerable force. Although not as high-quality as the Kusanagi family's retainers, they have an absolute advantage in numbers. The reason the Kagura family has always been financially strained is because they have to support such a large force. However, to fight against the Orochi Familia, they cannot afford to stop spending money, so the Kagura family has always lived a frugal life. It was only with the arrival of Levi that this multifaceted pressure was alleviated.
Wan Gui said, "Since Mai Zhuo isn't going to stay there for the time being, then let's stay at the mansion for now."
Li Wei said, "A few days ago, I bought a piece of land here and plan to build a mansion. I feel it's not appropriate to live at your place all this time." Wan Gui was a little unhappy. She felt that there was nothing wrong with this, and she was quite happy to be able to live with Li Wei.
Wan Gui's favorite thing was to sit on the rooftop at night with Li Wei, chatting over snacks and cola, listening to his interesting stories. Li Wei's erudition and humor won her heart.
If Li Wei moves to another place, it will be inconvenient to visit him. Of course, unlike Chizuru, she doesn't have any other concerns. Even if Li Wei moves to another place, she can simply stay at his place. Being shameless has its advantages.
Wan Gui said, "What's wrong with it? Anyway, the house is so big, many rooms are empty if you're not here."
Wan Gui didn't care how many girls were around Li Wei. In her opinion, none of them could threaten her position. On the contrary, showing her side as the first wife could also win over the girls around Li Wei and make their relationship more harmonious.
Wan Gui has now taken on the role of the manager of Li Wei's harem, much like an empress.
Li Wei said, "V is very happy over there, but as you can see, Wan Gui, I have quite a few girls around me, and I need a place to settle them all. However, the land I bought here is also in Chiyoda Ward, and it's only about 700 or 800 meters away from the mansion as the crow flies."
It took Li Wei a lot of money to acquire this land, since land in Chiyoda Ward is extremely valuable and requires a lot of connections.
Li Wei only managed to secure the land by having Krauss, a puppet, make an overseas phone call, thus forcing his competitors to back down.
Although the Krauser puppet regime's sphere of influence was in Europe (where money was plentiful), it had to be said that it still had a lot of influence and easily took over that territory.
This economic crisis has caused great misfortune for many relatively radical families and conglomerates in Japan. This piece of land originally belonged to a relatively high-ranking aristocratic family. Due to the real estate boom, they had stockpiled a lot of land in advance, waiting for its value to appreciate and preparing to sell it at a high price.
As it turned out, the economic crisis hit and the real estate industry collapsed. The land they had acquired not only failed to appreciate as they had expected, but its value was also halved. This money was all from loans that the family had taken out from banks. If they did not repay the loans on time, the family would go bankrupt.
So at this point, even though they know that selling land will result in huge losses, they still have to sell land in order to recover their losses. Selling land can prolong their lives and allow them to weather the crisis and regroup. If they don't sell land, they will be doomed on the spot.
That's precisely why such a prime location was put up for auction, ultimately benefiting Li Wei.
Chapter 330. The Capital of Willfulness
The land Li Wei acquired was only half the size of the Kagura family's estate, but its location was excellent, which is why it was put up as the grand finale of the auction. Li Wei planned to build a luxurious palace on that land, a complex of classical European-style buildings.
Originally, Li Wei wanted to build the ancient architectural complex of Chong Kingdom, but although the retro style was beautiful, it was not suitable for living. The land area was only so big, and even if Li Wei carved walnuts, he could not create the effect he wanted on such a limited area.
Therefore, he only chose the relatively modern European retro palace style from the last century. This style can hide various modern appliances in the home decoration layout, while also creating a better sense of luxury.
Those who have watched Downton Abbey should be quite familiar with this style, and Levi plans to take this luxurious style a step further, using a large amount of gold as decoration to showcase his wealth and power. Wan Gui asked curiously, "Have you found a construction team? If you're short-handed, I can help you find a group of skilled construction workers."
Li Wei smiled and said, "I appreciate your kind offer, but the building I'm building is not familiar to most construction workers. Even if I entrust it to them, they might not do a good job."
Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Wan Gui became interested. The construction teams under the Kagura family were all highly experienced and had participated in the construction of various difficult buildings. If Li Wei was not satisfied with such skilled workers, did he want to build a palace?
"Li Weijun, do you intend to build a palace there?" Wan Gui asked curiously.
Li Wei said, "Pretty much. Although classical neon-style buildings are exquisite, I prefer luxury and liveliness. When I want to appreciate that kind of quiet beauty, I can just go to your place. My own residence will naturally be designed according to my own preferences. You know what, I'm actually planning to build a European classical manor."
The Guise puppets have their own "Guise," a magnificent building over 500 meters tall. The Krauss puppets have their own "Imperial Palace," a massive complex even larger than Buckingham Palace of the German royal family, making it the largest classical architectural complex in Germany, bar none.
Li Wei felt that it was a bit unreasonable for him, as the real body, to be inferior even to a puppet clone. Therefore, he planned to build a luxurious manor here. The scale could be small, but the level of luxury had to reach the world's best.
Only in this way can his power and wealth be highlighted.
At this moment, Li Wei's mentality was somewhat like Gilgamesh in the Ancient Uruk era of the Type-Moon universe, but he was more like the "chuunibyou" Gilgamesh, and he also began to pursue pomp and face.
However, that's human nature. When people have power, wealth, and strength, they tend to become arrogant to some extent. Li Wei was no exception. He felt that he had already restrained himself. At least he wasn't like Gilgamesh in his late-stage chuunibyou phase, who thought that everyone else was either his subject or trash that had to be eliminated. Li Wei wasn't that domineering.
Furthermore, Gilgamesh had pursued immortality, while Levi had already achieved it. In this respect, Levi was much luckier than Gilgamesh from the Type-Moon universe.
Without the limitations of lifespan, Li Wei had plenty of time to enjoy life, so his lifestyle became very casual. He often acted on impulse, doing whatever came to mind, becoming more and more like a carefree child. Except this "child" possessed the power to easily destroy all of humanity.
Wan Gui said, "If that's the case, then I can't help you, since it's not my area of expertise. My construction team only knows how to build modern conventional buildings and classical neon-style buildings."
Japanese people are quite traditional, so many old Japanese families like to build large courtyards that occupy a lot of land but have very low land utilization. For these old families, such large courtyards are a symbol of status and a "showcase" that they must build if they can afford it.
Li Wei wasn't particularly fond of courtyards that prioritized aesthetics over practicality. He preferred well-arranged, tower-like buildings connected by covered walkways for easy access and enhanced visual appeal. Li Wei enjoyed building such spectacular architectural complexes in Minecraft, and now being able to bring his vision to life in this world was a small achievement for him.
Wonder enthusiasts love nothing more than building wonders, even if they end up destroying them and rebuilding them again. They enjoy the process of building.
Li Wei laughed and said, "You'll soon see an interesting building, but right now it's covered by a special net, so you can't see anything."
Because the construction involved the intervention of supernatural forces, and the land itself was located in the core residential area of Chiyoda Ward, it would be unseemly if the abnormality was discovered by others without some cover-up.
Li Wei estimated that he was probably the most irresponsible transmigrator. However, this was also related to his own abilities. If he were just an ordinary person without any strength, he would not have any connection with the King of Fighters storyline, and naturally he would not have any interaction with the characters in the story. Under such circumstances, if he wanted to win the heart of a beauty, he would have to put in more effort and time.
However, his own strength is already so great that he can crush most of the characters in the story. Apart from Orochi, Li Wei is not afraid of anyone. With such strength, coupled with all kinds of shameless schemes and tricks, he can naturally achieve his goals quickly and win the heart of the beauty in the shortest time.
After that, it's time to enjoy life to the fullest. With a group of beautiful women around, how could you not learn to enjoy it?
After settling things down at the company, Li Wei, along with Mai Zhuo, followed Wan Gui back to the mansion. Mai Zhuo's appearance didn't surprise anyone; after learning about her ordeal, she quickly blended in with the group.
However, this is also related to Mai Zhuo's own personality, which tends to be easygoing. The life of a corporate slave has smoothed out her rough edges. Otherwise, she would not have been able to integrate into the small group of people so quickly.
Because there are many guests in the mansion now, we go to the banquet hall for dinner every time. The servants clean the banquet hall in advance and then prepare individual dishes for everyone.
This was the first time Mai Zhuo had experienced anything like this, and she was quite restless. However, the others were in a similar state. After dinner, Mai Zhuo returned to the single room Chizuru had prepared for her. The events of the day had been far too stimulating for her; the dramatic ups and downs were almost too much for her heart to handle.
Chapter 331. The Power of Orochi
After returning to her room, Mai Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. Living alone for a long time had made her accustomed to solitude, and suddenly entering a lively environment made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Now that she was alone, she felt very relaxed. She took out "The Collected Works of Maupassant" from the bookshelf and prepared to while away her time before bed by reading under the bright light.
The single apartment she previously rented was in terrible condition. Not only did the whole room have a foul musty smell, but she could also hear the sounds of the young couple next door having sex, arguments downstairs, and the sounds of a band practicing at a bar two doors downstairs.
It's fair to say that such a quiet and reassuring environment was something she could only dream of before.
The guest room at Kagura's house was decorated in an elegant and tranquil style. If it weren't for the bright lights overhead, one would truly have the illusion of having traveled back in time. Although this was only a temporary place to stay, Mature liked the environment very much. At least here, she didn't have to worry about her personal safety and could read in peace.
Just as she turned the pages of the book and took out the bookmark she had put in earlier, she heard a knock coming from the paper door.
"Wait a moment, the door isn't locked." Mature stood up from the cushion, preparing to open the door, and just then, the door opened, revealing Kagura Manki dressed in a shrine maiden's robe.
Kagura Maki wore a faint smile, and her holy aura made her smile incredibly infectious.
"Miss Wan Gui, is there anything you need from me?" The seller closed the book in his hand and put it aside.
Mangui gently pulled up the paper door, slowly walked to Mature, and sat down properly, every move exuding the sacredness of a priestess.
"Actually, there's nothing much, I just wanted to have a chat with you," Wan Gui said with a smile.
Right after dinner, Levi approached her and said that Mature might be a yet-to-awakened holder of the power of the Eight Orochi Warriors, which she found incredible.
The Kagura family has always fought against the Orochi Familia, and their understanding of the Orochi Familia far surpasses that of others. However, as a guardian priestess, she did not sense any Orochi power in Mature.
However, Li Wei must have had his reasons for saying that, so she came to see if she could verify the power within Mai Zhuo's body.
The power of the Eight Orochi Warriors will continuously revive in various parts of the world through reincarnation, so each generation of the Eight Orochi Warriors is different. If Mature is really the carrier of the power of the Eight Orochi Warriors in this generation, then as long as the power in Mature's body is prevented from reviving, it is equivalent to crippling a high-end combatant of the Orochi Familia.
As the guardian priestess, Manki naturally wholeheartedly approves of such a good thing. If Mature is indeed a possessor of the power of the Eight Orochi Warriors, then her value will be immense. Being able to find a way to bring Mature into the anti-Orochi Familia camp would be even more rewarding.
“Miss Wan Gui, I thought you would go to Li Weijun’s side,” Mai Zhuo said.
Wan Gui smiled and said, "I'll go to his side later, but right now, I have some questions I want to ask you. Perhaps you don't know how special you are."
Mai Zhuo was somewhat puzzled. Special? Besides being prettier and stronger than ordinary people, what else was special about her? If she really had to say, she felt that Kagura Manki was the truly special being in front of her; that kind of aura was not something ordinary people could possess.
Mai Zhuo said, "What's so special about me? I'm just a homeless bastard who's been chased around."
Wan Gui said, "That's just because you haven't realized your difference. Your difference will bring you a lot of trouble, and even disaster to those around you." Mai Zhuo frowned slightly; Wan Gui's words made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. Mai Zhuo said, "Miss Wan Gui, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Wan Gui said, "Please don't misunderstand. I'm not talking about this matter. To Li Weijun, the Fengdao Group is just an ant that can be easily crushed. What I'm talking about is the extraordinary power hidden within you, a terrifying power that can bring annihilation to humanity."
Mai Zhuo raised a delicate eyebrow. In her opinion, Wan Gui's statement was sensationalist. Perhaps Wan Gui had other motives and was just saying it on purpose.
