I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

—【The reason this information is only worth 10,000 yen is because, as far as I know, there are only four people in the world who can get Goro Majima to help. You're lucky, you're one of them. So this information is only half-finished; I'm only charging you 10,000 yen out of friendship.】

The intelligence broker found the tone of the voice strange, but he was definitely not joking.

—【What will you do next, Mr. War Demon?】

"..."

Li Xuan stood alone under the vast night sky, remaining silent for a long time.

The night wind whistled through Qiancang Street.

“I understand. I will personally ask him for help. It is my duty, and I hope to complete this task successfully no matter what.”

Li Xuan put one hand in his pocket and said with a determined look.

~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·

"Of course, no problem, War Demon!"

On the street, Li Xuan found Goro Majima under the Majima Construction Building. He earnestly begged at a 45-degree angle, but unexpectedly, Li Xuan thought that a senior yakuza figure like Goro Majima would be angry or refuse outright. However, Goro Majima agreed without hesitation and didn't take it seriously at all.

"...Really?"

Li Xuan was speechless. He stood up straight and asked in astonishment.

With one arm wrapped in bandages, Goro Majima replied, "Of course. Since it was War Demon who asked me to do it, of course I agreed. Besides, since the owner of the town personally came to ask me to do it, I had better agree."

Li Xuan also knew that this was indeed the meaning behind it; he was the world controller of this street, and Majima Goro was nominally obligated to assist him.

Li Xuan continued, "As for the reward, I will give you 50% of my share."

"Payment? No need, War Demon-chan~" Majima Goro immediately waved his hand in refusal, a hint of even stronger longing in his eyes. He said, "After this job is over, all you have to do is give me a good, satisfying fight, and that'll be enough~~~"

"......"

Li Xuan was completely stunned when he heard Majima Goro's absurd request.

It has to be said, it's truly baffling what the rabid dog is thinking. He's forgoing a share of the 700 million valuation, yet he only wants a fight to the death...

"Okay, I promise you."

Li Xuan looked depressed for a long time, but finally agreed without any pressure.

And so, Li Xuan invited Majima Goro to help him run the brothel.

Li Xuan wasn't disgusted by the prospect of competing with the rabid dog again. However, after returning home, he was more worried about whether the seemingly insane and grotesque Majima Goro was truly his mentor in running the brothel...

Eight o'clock the next day.

In the back alley of Qiancang Street, Li Xuan entered his temporary office through the back door of this house on time.

He never dared to go through the front door, since the front door directly used photos of several popular male escorts as the shop's signboard, and going through the main entrance would be too embarrassing.

However, just as Li Xuan stepped into the corridor, a tall and handsome man in a suit and tie stood before him.

Good morning, manager, you've arrived.

The middle-aged man, who appeared to be between thirty-five and forty years old, turned around, gave a faint smile, and greeted him.

Despite wearing an eye patch, the other person possessed an indescribably delicate and handsome appearance, with gentle eyes, like a legendary butler, seemingly unassuming.

The briefcase in Li Xuan's hand slipped to the ground.

"........"

Li Xuan stared at this person as if he had seen a ghost.

"Who are you......."

Li Xuan asked incredulously.

"I am Goro Majima. It is my honor to serve you from today onwards, Manager Nitta."

Goro Majima looked nowhere near his age. He seemed to have deliberately groomed his face to conceal the wrinkles left by time. His hair was all tied back, as if he had hair extensions, hiding his previous bizarre and incongruous hairstyle. He looked five or six years younger.

Although it's unclear whether this is a new cosplay, Majima in front of us is truly a completely different person from before.

At this moment, Li Xuan was completely convinced that Majima Goro was the genuine "Emperor of the Night".

In the finance office, Goro Majima reviewed the daily reports and asked, "What kind of performance do you plan to achieve?"

Wearing a shirt, Li Xuan said to Majima Goro, "It would be best if we could restore the sales volume to what it was before the attack. I have no upper limit on the target. The most urgent task is to solve the problem of unrest among the staff."

"I understand. Please let me handle the tasks of guiding customers at the door and calming the staff for now."

After understanding the situation, Majima Goro handed the report back to the accountant, completely ignoring the accountant's blushing face in front of Nitta and Majima's assistant, and said...

Li Xuan was 80% certain of the intelligence dealer's information. He felt that his next task was to secretly observe Majima Goro's example and learn the essence of this man's business acumen.

"Manager, I think the recent decrease in sales is also due to a shortage of manpower."

Goro Majima suggested, "I think you shouldn't stay in the office all the time. You should go to the front desk. Even if you're not working as a front desk staff member, knowing important guests is a skill that a hostess shop manager must master. Sometimes, your role is even more important than that of the male hosts."

This proposal was undoubtedly the death knell for Li Xuan.

"...Do we really have to do this?"

Li Xuan had a terrible headache and asked cautiously.

"of course."

Goro Majima lit a cigarette and explained, "To solve problems and meet other people's expectations, some sacrifices are sometimes unavoidable, whether it's bloodshed or insignificant humiliation. As long as it's within acceptable limits, we should seize every opportunity to achieve our ultimate goal."

Li Xuan glanced at Majima Goro, and found his words to be remarkably persuasive.

He does have an obligation to make certain concessions for the sake of this store.

"......I see."

8:30 minutes.

The first female customer finally pushed open the door and came to visit.

"Welcome, ma'am."

A gentle, mature male voice greeted them appropriately.

"We hope our store can give you a wonderful start."

Another young, earnest-looking voice joined in the greeting.

"Welcome to the Man Under the Moon."

At the entrance, on the left was a middle-aged gentleman in a black suit, and on the right was a handsome young man in a white shirt wearing sunglasses. The assistant manager and the acting store manager, two exceptionally good-looking men, stood at the entrance, leading a group of young male escorts into the legendary paradise.

~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·

Two days later.

Saturday morning.

At the station, the three high school girls made a pact to return to Senkura Street together.

"There are so many people, even more than last week."

Yui Yuigahama said in surprise.

"Yes, because I heard that another large department store is moving in nearby."

Hina Ebina rubbed her glasses and excitedly explained.

"There is definitely a need to come again."

Upon hearing this news, Yumiko Miura continued.

As autumn gradually arrives, the sky in Chiba is no longer scorching, and the leaves are beginning to turn yellow. The mild weather makes the young women strolling around feel incredibly comfortable.

Three high school girls, walking together, planned to start shopping from the other side. They had bought a lot of things last time, and this time their focus was on buying some nice clothes.

Yui Yuigahama thought it was just another nice day, a day of shopping with friends.

"I don't know which outfit will make me look cuter..."

Yui Yuigahama's fair cheeks flushed slightly as she thought to herself.

She naturally had a desire to express herself.

However, after browsing through several clothing stores, just as they were passing through an alley, several figures suddenly rushed forward and blocked the path of the three girls.

"Ok?"

The three girls were all stunned, looking at the group of strangers.

They don't look like kind people.

Half an hour after we started shopping, an unexpected situation occurred!

As the girls realized something was wrong and retreated slightly, they discovered that their escape route was blocked by several men who looked like thugs.

This situation quickly made them realize that they seemed to have encountered street thugs...

"Who are you people, and what are you trying to do by stopping us?"

Yumiko Miura was the bravest; she protected Yui Yuigahama and Hina Ebina, and questioned them with a frown.

"You don't need to be afraid, we have no intention of harming you."

The person leading this group was none other than Tian Cun, a cadre from Lu Chuan's group, who was calming down the girls.

Holding a photo, he searched for the culprit behind the surveillance camera. While investigating a rival gang, he noticed a girl in the video who had come to the street with that gangster. These days, Tamura is trying to track down the girl's identity in order to find further traces of the mysterious gangster.

As a result, on the street, the helpers sent by the Ashikawa Group recognized Miura Yumiko, which is why they tracked her down.

"There are some things I'd like to ask you, so please come with us."

In the bustling streets, it was inconvenient for Tamura to ask questions, so he had no choice but to take the three of them to a less crowded place for the time being.

"......"

The three girls were all pale.

"Hey, I'm warning you, don't mess around, or I'll call the police!"

Yumiko Miura was also quite frightened, but her expression grew increasingly fierce as she shouted at them.

However, despite the large number of passersby, they seemed to see nothing at all in front of Yui and her friends, hurrying past without daring to approach...

"How could this be...?"
