Yandere Erii, stop tormenting Lu Mingfei!

Crow was driving a somewhat old-looking black Crown sedan. Yaksha sat in the passenger seat, a cigarette between his fingers, looking relaxed as he exhaled smoke rings.

Lu Mingfei sat in the back seat, his pink skirt spread out on the slightly worn leather seat. He stared at the Tokyo night view rushing past the window, thinking that this was probably one of the most magical trips of his life—dressing up as a effeminate man in a cute maid outfit to collect protection money.

Yasha grinned: "Lu-chan, don't be nervous. Collecting protection money is easy, just like going shopping. We just need to patrol and collect the debts, like... um, a farmer going to milk his cows!"

"Are there any farmers dressed like this? Even if I'm shameless, the cows would burst out laughing. This would definitely be the most ridiculous scene in the underworld." Lu Mingfei touched the heart-shaped choker around his neck.

If Erii had come with him, Lu Mingfei would have been somewhat comforted. However, this was a test of courage arranged for him by Genjiro, and with Erii involved, it became completely effortless.

"Kawaii Ru-chan, you might just melt people's hearts with your cuteness." Crow turned the steering wheel into a relatively quiet alley. "We're going to the 'Asada Group' now, a small gang under the Minamoto family, with only a few dozen people. Their main business is making cheap adult films. They've worked with many actresses and also control shops on three streets on the outskirts of Shinjuku."

The car stopped in front of a three-story building with a sign that read "Matian Film and Television Co., Ltd."

Yaksha got out of the car first, then kicked open the half-closed door.

boom--!

Upon hearing the noise, seven or eight men in cheap suits or floral shirts stopped playing cards and involuntarily looked over in the smoke-filled hall on the first floor.

Then Yaksha walked in, wearing a black trench coat that revealed the exquisite silk lining underneath. There, a ferocious, bloodthirsty demon with a blue face and fangs was embroidered with superb skill, its style as gorgeous and beautiful as a ukiyo-e print.

In an instant, everyone's hostility subsided, and they immediately stood up and bowed in unison: "Welcome our cadre to offer guidance!"

"Where's your boss?" Yaksha asked, picking at his ear with his little finger.

"The boss is upstairs auditioning actresses!" a henchman replied respectfully.

"Tell him to come out right now!" Yaksha shouted.

A moment later, a middle-aged bald man with a large belly ran down. His clothes were disheveled, indicating that he was dressed very casually, suggesting that he had just had a very intense audition process for the actress.

"Yasha-kun! Shall we appreciate a new work today? The latest theme is extremely exciting, featuring your favorite landmine-type beautiful girl and tsundere little brat!" The middle-aged bald man rubbed his hands together and said obsequiously.

Yaksha ignored him and turned to look at them. "Hurry up."

Then, Crow led Lu Mingfei in.

Yaksha cleared his throat and said in a businesslike tone, "This is Lu Sang, the leader temporarily assigned to you by the young master. He's here tonight to learn how to collect debts. He'll be in charge of all operations tonight, understand?"

Lu...Lu Sang! ?

Everyone turned to look at the cute, pink-clad maid with a shy and innocent face.

An eerie silence spread through everyone's hearts.

If Yasha hadn't said that, they would have thought this was a new female star that the family was promoting.

The middle-aged bald man, true to his reputation as the leader, was the first to react.

The fact that the young master personally assigned him, with his two elder brothers, Crow and Yaksha, accompanying him, shows that this man is no ordinary person! He must be a ruthless, unpredictable, and eccentric rising star in the underworld!

They must be treated with utmost respect, even more so! Treat them like your own father!

He bowed respectfully to Lu Mingfei, his voice humble yet resonant:

"Lu-san! Nice to meet you!"

The others also bowed in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized.

Lu Mingfei was a little flustered by the scene and subconsciously bowed slightly in return.

"Lu-san, how about trying out our special services first? Whether you're a mature woman, a cute girl, a married woman, or a widow, we guarantee you'll be extremely satisfied!" the middle-aged bald man said, as if offering a treasure.

Lu Mingfei quickly shook his head, "Let's not waste any more time."

It wasn't just empty modesty; he didn't even dare to feel a spark of attraction. Although Erii wasn't with him, he always felt like she was watching him intently from all sides.

Yaksha then shouted, "Just gather a few people and come with us." He looked at the bald man, smiled, and patted him on the shoulder. "As for you, go back and continue interviewing actresses."

"Hi!"

Team Leader Ma immediately selected a squad of his most elite and strongest henchmen, and with a wave of his hand, declared, "Tonight, Lu Sang is your boss! Don't even flinch if I tell you to die!"

……

……

Given Tokyo's bustling nature, even a small commercial street on the outskirts is lined with shops.

It has everything: izakayas, ramen shops, convenience stores, pachinko parlors, and more.

Nine burly men from the Asada Group surrounded Lu Meiren, along with two bodyguards, Crow Yaksha and Crow Yaksha, who exuded an aura of dominance. Passersby were so frightened that they gave way and couldn't help but wonder who this cute maid was, given the exaggerated entourage!

However, the shopkeepers were used to seeing people from the Asada Group, but they would often have a momentary lapse in judgment when they saw Lu Mingfei.

After all, wearing a cute maid outfit to collect protection money is quite unexpected.

As Yaksha said, the debt collection process is ridiculously simple.

Upon arriving at a shop, the members of the Asada Group approached the shop owner, nodded slightly, and exchanged a few words. The shop owner immediately took out a bulging envelope that had been prepared beforehand from the cash register, handed it over with both hands, and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your hard work. Please continue to take care of me this month."

The team member took the envelope, weighed it in his hand to determine the amount, then handed it to Lu Mingfei, respectfully saying, "Boss, please take a look!"

Lu Mingfei didn't know how much to charge, so he just opened it, glanced at it, and put it back.

Then another team member stepped forward, took out a pre-prepared document bag, and told Lu Mingfei to just put the envelope in. The whole process was very quick, taking no more than thirty seconds.

As they continued collecting the money, the atmosphere was unusually harmonious, completely different from the tense atmosphere Lu Mingfei had imagined. Shouldn't the shop owners have been furious and fought with these group members, leaving the street stained with blood? Why did every shop owner look so calm, some even with smiles on their faces?

This left Lu Mingfei completely baffled, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why are they so willing to pay protection money?"

At this moment, Crow smiled and said, "Lu-san, you don't understand. The Asada Group is a very disciplined gang. Two years ago, when this street was flooded by a typhoon, it was their members who were the first to come out and help clean it up. They dredged the drainage, moved goods, and worked for a week to restore order. If we relied on the useless Japanese government, we would be completely finished. So calling this a management fee is perfectly reasonable."

Lu Mingfei was stunned and asked in return:

"What if there are unruly gangs? Wouldn't collecting debts be a real hassle?"

The crow said, "Those who dare to act recklessly are just jeopardizing everyone's livelihood! We don't even need to lift a finger; we'll all unite and kill them!"

Lu Mingfei understood.

Isn't this just an entire grassroots governance organization?

Soon, all the bills on the street were collected. Lu Mingfei's feet were aching from walking in high heels, and he started thinking that he must ask Erii to massage his feet when he got back.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred.

Another group of people suddenly surged into the street corner. The group was densely packed and seemed to have more than twenty people than the Asada group. Through the flashing light of the LED lightbox, it was clear that this group was extremely young. Most of them had dyed yellow hair, wore ripped jeans or exaggerated streetwear, and carried metal baseball bats, steel pipes, and some even carried long objects wrapped in newspaper, which looked like knives.

The leader was a young man with dyed blond hair and a lip piercing. He had an arrogant look in his eyes, was chewing gum, and tilted his head to sized up the Asada Group.

He glanced disdainfully at the crowd, but when he saw Lu Mingfei, who was surrounded in the middle dressed in a cute maid outfit, he visibly paused for a moment, then revealed an expression mixed with contempt and confusion, and said in a perfect yakuza trilled "r":

"Where's your idiot bald boss from the Asada Group? Why is he all hanging around one girl?! Are they preparing to film a multi-person movie?"

"Who are these idiots?!" the crow asked dismissively.

"It seems to be a small gang that has just risen in the area, called something like 'Wrathful Asura'," someone replied.

"You guys know what's good for you!" the blond thug said domineeringly. "From today onwards, this street is our territory. If you don't want to die, take your men and get the hell out of here!"

Yasha suddenly found it extremely amusing and asked, "Kid, do you know whose territory this street belongs to? This is the Genji clan..."

"I don't care if you're from the Minamoto or Taira clans!" the blond thug rudely interrupted. "The old guys' era is over! Now it's our young people's time! Either fight or get out! Keep it simple!"

His henchmen behind him raised their weapons and let out sharp, strange cries, clearly in a show of defiance.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

But the people on Asada's side clearly lacked fighting spirit.

First, they didn't bring any weapons at all.

Secondly, they are different from the unemployed idiots like Nu Xiuluo. The members of Ma Tuanzu are generally older, and many are married. They treat being in a gang as just a job. If it comes to real fighting, these guys who are professional movie stars are not good at it!

Let's have a test of endurance!

Involuntarily, they all turned their gaze toward Lu Mingfei, the temporary leader.

Lu Mingfei's heart began to pound.

Damn it, he knew collecting debts this time wouldn't be so easy; sure enough, he'd been grinding for more!

He looked at the crow and the yaksha for help, and asked in a low voice, "What should we do? Should we fight them? Or call the police?"

The crow leaned close to his ear, its voice laced with amusement, as if it were a case of "I love a good show": "Lu Sang, in this situation, the usual thing to do is have a good fight, right? Do you really think you should report this little thing to the main family and have the young master send someone over? That would be too embarrassing."

"But we seem to have fewer people than them!" Lu Mingfei said in a low voice.

"That's right, that's why we need to fight even more." Yasha chimed in, grinning. "The underworld has its rules. All the territories have been divided up by the main family. I don't know where you idiots came from, but since you dare to provoke the Snake Clan, then die!"

Then he looked at Lu Mingfei and said earnestly, "Boss, please lead us into battle!"

"What the hell am I supposed to do, charge into battle?!" Lu Mingfei wailed inwardly. "I'm dressed as a maid and in high heels! At most, I can dance on the sidelines and give you guys a buff!!!"

But when the thugs from the Nushura group heard that the Asada group was going to fight, they immediately pounced over like a pack of hungry wolves, wielding metal baseballs and iron bars, yelling and mercilessly smashing people into their bodies!

Crow kicked a young thug away, and Yaksha punched one of them in the cheek, causing the guy's cheek to cave in and his teeth to fly out.

The scene immediately descended into chaos, with the entire street erupting into a brawl.

The members of the Angry Asura gang chased and beat up the members of the Asada group, while the Crow Yaksha gang chased and beat up the members of the Angry Asura gang. Lu Mingfei stood there blankly, not knowing whether to advance or retreat as the leader.

At that moment, a thug wielding a metal baseball bat rushed up to him. The thug clearly had no intention of showing any mercy and swung the bat at his head.

Lu Mingfei was startled, his pupils suddenly shrinking to pinpoints. He instinctively wanted to cover his head and crouch down, but just as the baseball bat was about to hit him, he suddenly realized that the other person's movements were...so slow.

Time seemed to slow down, and that person's every move became clear, so slow that Lu Mingfei could even count the pimples on his face.

Huh?

Lu Mingfei was surprised for a moment, then easily dodged the opponent's attack.

Just as he dodged the baseball that hit his face, time resumed its normal flow. The thug, unwilling to miss, swung his bat and slashed again.

Lu Mingfei felt time slow down again. He felt his blood flowing rapidly through his body, his whole body was hot as if boiling, and he heard cracking sounds coming from his body. Every muscle seemed to be undergoing molecular-level fine-tuning in order to make it easier for him to exert force.

Lu Mingfei was very familiar with this state; it happened when he got serious while playing games and his brain started to work at overclock.

However, this was the first time he had used it in a fight.

Furthermore, its information processing capabilities have been greatly enhanced!

He can see the trajectory of the metal baseball bat in the air and predict the angle and force at which it falls.

Then my body seemed to move on its own, and I instinctively leaned back to dodge.

"Whoosh!" The baseball bat whistled past his head with a deep whistling sound.

Immediately afterwards, another guy swung a steel pipe and attacked him from the side.

Lu Mingfei was feeling a bit irritated.

This constant defense isn't going to work!

I didn't want to fight, but these guys just deserved a beating!

This time he didn't dodge. In the instant the steel pipe swept towards him, he reached out and accurately grabbed the other man's wrist. With a forceful pull, he dislocated the thug's wrist bone!

Lu Mingfei didn't know how his body had mastered a set of fighting techniques; it was all a matter of instantaneous reaction, but for now, he could only trust his intuition!

He easily snatched the steel pipe and smashed it hard at the guy who had just missed with his baseball bat!

"Ugh!" With a dull thud, one of the thugs screamed, his face turning deathly pale. His weapon clattered to the ground, and he clutched his stomach, curling up like a shrimp and kneeling on the ground, dry heaving.

At that moment, the situation on the scene suddenly changed dramatically!

Although the combination of Crow and Yaksha was powerful, it was not enough to protect Lu Mingfei. They were planning to capture the leader first and take down the golden-haired leader of the Wrathful Asura.

Suddenly, a furious roar came from behind. Lu Mingfei, dressed in a cute pink maid outfit, gripped a baseball bat in her left hand and swung a steel pipe in her right! She looked like Lu Bu reincarnated! With her skirt fluttering and high heels swaying, she charged into the crowd and began a frenzied slaughter!

He moved like a pink hurricane, and wherever he went, the members of the Wrathful Asura fell to the ground like fallen leaves, clutching their torsos and legs that had just been hit and howling in pain.

In no time, they had knocked all thirty-odd members of the Wrathful Asura clan to the ground.

Only the bewildered blond leader remained, his legs trembling, his eyes dim, and his lips quivering.

Even if he was arrogant and conceited, he now realized that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.

"Have you bought medical insurance?" Lu Mingfei asked kindly.

"I...I bought it." The blond thug nodded blankly.

"That's good!" He abandoned his stick and threw a punch, aiming directly at the face of the delinquent-looking man! He sent the man flying a meter away before he crashed heavily to the ground.

With a dull thud, the guy's nose was knocked crooked, and blood mixed with saliva and tears flowed freely, a truly gruesome sight. A pungent smell of urine emanated from his groin.

The Wrathful Asura has been declared annihilated.
