Perhaps Li Xuan should thank Officer Aso, the officer who arrested him...

~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·

Outside, autumn rain was falling continuously, and Chiba Prefecture was shrouded in mist.

After walking about a mile outside the street, a black Crown car slowly pulled up beside Li Xuan on the road next to him.

Li Xuan recognized the owner of the car at a glance. The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a woman with exceptionally beautiful features.

His partner was Yukino Yukinoshita. Although it was unclear how powerful her connections were, the fact that she was able to bail him out showed that Yukino was quite capable.

"Hmm..." Yang Nai stopped the car, her beautiful hair swaying slightly in the wind. Her feigned thoughtful expression always made people think she had some mischievous intentions. In the end, as if she had a hard time coming up with a congratulatory message, she smiled brightly and said, "Hmm, congratulations on your release from prison, Ah Xuan!"

Li Xuan retorted angrily in the street, "I haven't been to jail, okay!"

Once seated in the passenger seat, Li Xuan finally felt a sense of peace.

After driving the vehicle to a road far from the Chiba Police Station, Haruno parked it on the side of the road.

The area is shrouded in mist and rain, and there is a grove of golden and red trees by the roadside, making for a rather beautiful scene.

"Thank you so much, it was truly a close call," Li Xuan said to Yang Nai.

“…”

Yang Nai remained silent, gazing at the gloomy sky, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.

The churning clouds were quite beautiful, especially with the black-haired girl looking up at the sky ahead.

Just like that fireworks festival.

"It seems you've run into something really bad again."

Before the bewildered sky, suddenly, Yang Nai spoke with concern in a very gentle tone.

"?"

Li Xuan, who was taking a short rest in the passenger seat, paused for a moment, then turned to look at Yang Nai.

Yang Nai, who was inside the car, turned his head and his expression became more serious. He instructed, "Alright, let's talk about something serious. The senior officers at the police station specifically told you that you absolutely cannot commit any more crimes during your bail period, otherwise you will definitely be detained for fifteen days. I was only able to bail you because the evidence against you was insufficient. So, Ah Xuan, can you stay at home during this time and wait for things to calm down?"

"...I'm afraid that won't work."

Li Xuan could tell that Yang wanted him to agree, but it was indeed difficult for him to do so at the moment.

"I really want to agree, but I've encountered a very dangerous enemy this time. Miss, I hope you won't come near me for a while. The enemy is very powerful, and you've just escaped danger. You shouldn't get involved in this conflict again. After this meeting, please keep an eye on your situation and try not to contact me. I will personally inform you after I've resolved this matter."

Li Xuan hoped that Yang Nai could leave temporarily.

The Ashikawa Group is about to face a bloody storm; this is his destiny, and he is destined to live this kind of life.

However, before the storm was brewing, being able to meet with Yang Nai like this and get through the difficulties together was already a very warm farewell for Li Xuan.

"...I understand."

Yang Nai remained silent for a while before agreeing.

"As expected, there's not much I can do to help you..."

Yang looked at the sky with a puzzled expression and said softly.

Li Xuan was taken aback and said, "How could that be? You've already helped a lot. If I hadn't gotten out of the police station in time, the other side would have definitely caused a lot of damage while I was away, and the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"That's true, but it's far from enough."

In the gray sky, a light drizzle pattered on the glass. Yang Nai smiled awkwardly at Li Xuan and said...

Li Xuan felt that Yang Nai was a little worried about him. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "You're overthinking it."

"what?"

Yang Nai was taken aback and glanced at Li Xuan.

After a moment of silence, they could only stay inside the car, while the autumn rain outside grew colder. Neither of them could leave this small yet warm space.

"......"

Yang Nai kept looking at the sky, not understanding what she was thinking.

"What are you thinking?"

Li Xuan broke Yang Nai's silence and asked.

"...I think I'm getting used to this kind of life."

After a moment of silence, Yang replied with a smile.

"Hey, Ah Xuan..."

Yang Nai wanted to ask Li Xuan a question.

But after a moment of silence, the girl couldn't get any questions out.

"what?"

Li Xuan asked.

".......nothing."

Yang Nai shook her head, smiled apologetically, and stuck out her tongue.

"I accidentally forgot what I was going to ask you."

"all in all....."

"You must stay safe."

In the light rain amidst the fluttering red leaves, Yang Nai smiled slightly, looked at him, and said.

Just a moment ago, Yang Nai actually had the thought of persuading Li Xuan to withdraw from the Extreme Path.

What was the reason? No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out.

That dangerous life is over for her now; she relies on this person for protection.

Facing the demon alone once again, Haruno felt she should do something.

But ultimately, the next time she saw him, he was once again covered in wounds, all alone...

He has always been a hero in a chaotic world.

~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·~·

At 10 o'clock on Sunday, Li Xuan was taken by Yang Nai to the vicinity of Qiancang Street.

As Li Xuan stood on the wet streets of Qiancang Street, he still saw the prosperous and peaceful commercial street before him.

That's great, nothing unexpected happened.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He put on his suit and strolled slowly through the streets after the drizzle, preparing to go find Majima Goro, who was at work at "The Man Under the Moon".

However, unexpectedly, when he arrived at the entrance of the host club, Li Xuan saw a familiar figure standing there.

She wore a thin gray coat, a short skirt, and high school girl stockings, and patiently waited for someone to return while holding an umbrella.

She is Yui Yuigahama, an ordinary high school girl.

Yui Yuigahama, who had been waiting for someone in the rain for a long time, looked tense, as if troubled by something. She noticed someone approaching on the street, turned around, and saw Li Xuan. She immediately perked up and bowed in the drizzle.

The high school girl who previously said she would never come back suddenly returned.

It seems Li Xuan has a repeat customer...

PS: The event will erupt soon, then end, and this volume will conclude.

The author has tried to write well, but there has been some over-exposition so far.

This storyline is not about everyday life; a gang war will soon ensue. Please be patient while you watch.

Chapter 085 The Ruler of This Street (4.5k)

"..."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment.

"Hello, Nitta-senpai, um... can I ask you for a favor?"

Yui Yuigahama ran quickly to him, looking as if something terrible had happened, and said nervously.

The pattering rain wasn't the place to chat. Li Xuan, holding his umbrella, glanced at her curiously and said, "It's autumn raining now. Do you want to take shelter over there? And then tell me what happened, okay?"

Yui Yuigahama stood in the rain with a worried look on her face, looking at Li Xuan with a somber expression.

That's a real foul, look at that pitiful expression.

To be honest, Li Xuan hadn't known Yui Yuigahama for very long, so why would she suddenly ask him for a favor, especially after learning yesterday that he worked at a host club...?

Li Xuan found it too troublesome and changed his mind, saying, "Alright, we can talk as we walk."

"Oh well......"

Yui Yuigahama nodded and said.

Is it really that important to say it a few seconds earlier?

Li Xuan thought to himself.

Soon, Yui Yuigahama, holding an umbrella in the rain, asked, "Nitta-senpai, do you know a thirty-year-old man named Ryuji Goda while you work here?"

Li Xuan quickly stopped in his tracks.

Before Yui Yuigahama's eyes, she saw her senior, who was wearing sunglasses, with an expression that said he had heard some incredible news.

Yui Yuigahama's worries intensified.

"Wait, Yuihama, where did you hear this name?"

"This is unbelievable!" Li Xuan was shocked. How could the girls from Zongwu High School also know this name?

Yui Yuigahama asked worriedly, "Is he really a scary person?"

Li Xuan's reaction was neither affirmative nor negative; he seemed quite concerned and continued to ask, "Leaving that aside for now, what I care about is where you've heard his name before, and whether you've ever met him."
