I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

Just then, in the rain, they heard several girls calling out.

As it turned out, Isshiki Hatake and Yui Yuigahama had already jumped off the country road and were walking towards them along the path, seemingly to bring them an umbrella.

Yukino didn't say anything. After she met up with Yui, Isshiki quickly handed the umbrella to Li Xuan. However, Isshiki noticed that this senior seemed a bit clueless.

Everyone opened their umbrellas and headed towards the guesthouse.

Li Xuan walked at the back, his mind heavy with worries.

Was he overthinking it?

The rain had turned the world green. Along the secluded mountain path, Li Xuan followed the girls towards the inn. However, at the end of the street, some gaze seemed to linger on him...

Chapter 097: The Yakuza Hotel Training Camp Begins

At noon, the guesthouse was being cleaned and tidied by several girls despite the rain.

Although the guesthouse was luxuriously decorated, it felt neglected; the wooden planks were dirty and the ceiling had a lot of cobwebs.

Yukino, Yui, Sagamiya, Hitomi Mishima, and Isshiki, who had just arrived, all put on their waitress uniforms and worked together to help Li Xuan tidy up the upscale guesthouse.

However, the workload is really huge. Even with so many people, it is quite difficult to clean it all at once.

"That's strange. How come they don't manage such a high-end guesthouse properly?"

While a group of people were cleaning the second floor, Yukino Yukinoshita, wearing a headscarf, wondered aloud.

"Senior, come here for a moment, Yukinoshita-senpai."

Suddenly, Iroha Isshiki called out to Yukino as if she had something on her mind, beckoning her to a small staircase.

Yukino walked over curiously and asked Isshiki, "What's wrong?"

Isshiki Iroha looked a little bewildered. She quickly pointed to the entrance of the small building and said cautiously, "Yukinoshita-senpai, there's an attic upstairs. It seems quite large, and... very dark... Should we clean the attic too?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was a little puzzled and said, "Of course we have to clean it. What's there to be afraid of? There should be lights installed upstairs. We can just turn them on."

Isshiki swallowed hard; her hesitant expression made her look quite frightened.

This guesthouse looks new, but it has actually been built for some time. It has the atmosphere of an old Japanese house, and the house is very large. The attic is not well-ventilated. According to the conventions of horror comics and movies, the Japanese attic is the first choice for a crime scene.

Especially now that it's raining, the thunder is rumbling incessantly outside.

"..."

Yukino looked at Isshiki Hatake, who was showing a pitiful and vulnerable expression, and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Yuigahama and Mishima are in charge of the first floor. I also need to clean the hot spring pool. However, we still have some time before we go back, so let's go upstairs together and clean the attic."

"That's wonderful, you're so kind, Yukinoshita-senpai, thank you!"

Iroha Isshiki hugged Yukino tightly, expressing her gratitude with great emotion.

Yukino looked embarrassed, especially since Isshiki also liked to rub his face against hers. She blushed and said, "Okay, okay, stop fooling around."

on the other hand.

Li Xuan is currently removing the family banner from the former guesthouse manager's property.

The exterior of guesthouses often features horizontal stripes covering the walls, displaying the family crest, making them look like they belong to nobility and giving them a grand appearance.

However, Li Xuan had already ordered his own banner online beforehand.

Just to be on the safe side, he brought clothes, some items he had bought, and even his laptop. He originally thought he would be negotiating here for several days, but who knew he would buy them all in just one hour that day.

In the light rain, Li Xuan installed a banner with his family crest on his guesthouse, indicating that it was his property.

However, after it was all set up, Li Xuan stood in the rain, looked up at the guesthouse, and felt that the effect was not quite ideal.

[Boom—!!]

Amidst the flashing lightning and thunder, the eaves of the ancient mansion, adorned with the family crest designed by Li Xuan himself, fluttered in the wind. The atmosphere was eerie, yet undeniably grand, exuding the indescribable aura of a dark, powerful family headquarters...

He has truly taken the Yakuza culture to its extreme.

"These kinds of things really do need to be custom-made..."

Li Xuan looked awkwardly at the slightly darkened guesthouse in front of him, thinking to himself.

Just as Li Xuan returned to the entrance, several ten-year-old children, seemingly out of nowhere, ran from the roadside in the rain.

"Hmm?" Li Xuan turned his head and looked at the group of little devils who were covered in mud but looked quite cute.

There were boys and girls, some mischievous, some timid, but all seemed curious, looking at their new owner, who appeared to be children from nearby towns.

"Bad guy!"

Suddenly, a little boy pointed at Li Xuan and shouted.

"!" Li Xuan was stunned, looking at this brat.

"The sunglasses-wearing bad guy—it's been proven that he looks exactly like the villains you often see on TV, so he's a bad guy!"

The little boy presented evidence against Li Xuan in a gesture of objection.

“Attorney Sakata, this kind of evidence is completely unacceptable as evidence in court.”

Another little boy wearing glasses retorted.

"Then how do you explain the sudden change of the owner of this house to this person? Your Honor, there have been rumors that bad people have been lurking here. The sudden change of the owner and the disappearance of that idiot Haneda must be related."

The mud-covered child spoke with a wise expression to a timid-looking ten-year-old girl with pigtails.

Li Xuan was so frightened by the sight of this somewhat adorable loli "Judge" that he almost burst into tears.

Li Xuan remembered that a popular lawyer drama was airing on TV Tokyo recently. It seemed that these kids were quite good at playing house. After seeing the changes at the guesthouse, he came over out of curiosity to see who had bought the house.

“Because I bought this house, kid,” Li Xuan said, squatting down to address his new neighbors.

As a result, the twin-tailed loli was so frightened by Li Xuan's approach that she burst into tears.

The group of children seemed a little afraid of him and took a few steps back.

"Retreat quickly! The bad guys are going to harm Your Honor!"

Court adjourned for now!

The children, wearing only yellow raincoats, dared to run around in the rain.

"Wait, who did you call a bad guy, kid!?"

Li Xuan stood in front of the guesthouse, which looked like it had a strong underworld vibe, and angrily shouted at it.

And he just heard the court adjourn; who knows, these kids might even come back to his court and reopen it...

Just as Li Xuan was about to go back to the house, two more figures appeared in the rain on the sandy ground at the doorway.

"..."

Li Xuan stopped and turned to look over.

There were two middle-aged men dressed in suits, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, who did not look like good people.

"Hey, blond kid, are you the new owner who just bought this guesthouse?"

The middle-aged man, who appeared to be overweight, gave him a gloomy look and asked.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Xuan stood at the door and asked.

"So it's you, you bastard. Do you know that all the shops in this town are under our protection? Don't you know that to do business here, you should first pay a visit to us?"

The tall thug picked at his teeth with a toothpick and asked with a smile.

"The protection fee is 20 yen a month. Haneda hasn't even paid me this month, and you've already started paying?"

The fat thug sneered and threatened Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment.

Today is really strange.

He never imagined that he, who had always collected protection money, would one day be the one being asked for protection money by others...

Li Xuan took off his sunglasses.

The colorful stripes of the black family crest danced wildly in the wind.

※※※※

Ten minutes later.

Yukino and Isshiki climbed up to the attic of the building, but the overwhelming musty smell made the two girls immediately cover their mouths and noses with towels.

"Cough cough cough!!"

"It's so dirty!"

Both girls couldn't help but cough.

There's no other way; we have to clean it no matter how dirty it is.

Even after turning on the lights, the attic was still very dimly lit.

The attic is the smallest of all the floors, but it contains several rooms. Only a few skylights in the roof provide ventilation, but these skylights are constantly leaking and cannot be opened.

Yukino was very meticulous in cleaning. After using a feather duster to remove the dust, she used a vacuum cleaner to clean it. Then, the girls, covered in sweat, used towels to wipe the wooden boards clean.

"I didn't expect Senior Xuan to actually buy this house. That's amazing. It seems really big."

Isshiki Iroha, holding a mop, remarked with emotion.

However, the attic was also piled with a lot of miscellaneous items. Iroha looked at the boxes with suspicion. On such a rainy day with thunder and lightning, the attic really had an indescribable eerie feeling, which made Iroha feel uneasy.

"Isshiki, don't be lazy."

Yukino glanced at her and said.

"it is good."

Ichiro Yu continued mopping the floor.

For some reason, it always felt a little strange when two girls were mopping the floor together in the attic.

This is an aura that only girls can understand.
