I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

Li Xuan glanced at the section chief and said politely.

It's clear that the section chief appreciates him highly, and surprisingly, there's a high probability he'll get a job at the company.

This situation unexpectedly gave Li Xuan a sense of hope.

Some of the other interviewees around him, who had also made it to the second round, were quietly discussing how serious and oppressive the work at this company was, but in reality, it also offered many valuable things that ordinary people couldn't see. These included not having to get their hands stained with blood, not having to collect debts, not having to operate in shady places, and being able to live like a truly alive person.

Just then, Li Xuan's phone rang.

He paused for a moment, took out his phone, and saw that Yukino's avatar on Line was shaking.

Section Chief Miku happened to be standing next to her. She looked at it curiously and saw the profile picture and name.

— [Third round interview, good luck!]

Li Xuan looked at the reply.

"Yukino... Yukinoshita, what a cute name. Is she a girl? Is she your girlfriend?"

She smiled and asked gossipily.

Li Xuan was taken aback and denied it, saying, "No, no, it's just someone I know..."

"Haha, then you must have a very good relationship. Your LINE always rings whenever you're resting. That girl must care about you a lot. Work hard and don't let that beauty down."

Section Chief Miku said with a grin.

"..." Li Xuan was somewhat puzzled and didn't know how to explain it, but he knew very well that the section chief was a good person.

In fact, Yukinoshita and Isshiki are positioned similarly in his social network.

Li Xuan sat on the sofa, eventually lowering his body and resting his arms on his thighs for a short rest.

[Beep beep beep...]

At that moment, Li Xuan's phone rang unexpectedly.

Li Xuan took out his phone again and checked the incoming call.

——[Tamura. 】

"That's strange, why is this guy calling me?"

Li Xuan wondered curiously.

He answered the phone and asked, "Tamura, it's me. What's up?"

—Are you the war ghost of Ashikawa?

On the phone, however, came a deep, gloomy male voice that I had never heard before.

Li Xuan answered the phone, his expression changing drastically.

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

Li Xuan asked.

The person on the phone was silent for a while.

—Everyone calls me "the immortal dragon."

—【War Demon, the matter of the Yui Group is not yet resolved.】

—【I've taken care of all your underlings across three streets; some of them are in my warehouse. I didn't mean to do anything to them, but as their boss, you should be by their side right now, shouldn't you?】

Li Xuan was dressed in a suit, and the interview resume in his hand was still swaying slightly in the wind.

The faint flame of hope within me was completely swallowed up by the cursed darkness.

Reality will catch up sooner or later.

—【War Demon, come to the Yonebuki warehouse on that street and resolve the conflict between the Ashikawa-gumi and the Yui-gumi in the most traditional way.】

The phone hangs up.

Li Xuan sat alone in his seat, motionless.

"It's your turn. Come in."

Section Chief Miku poked her head out and said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan stood up.

However, instead of heading to the interview room, he began unbuttoning his suit jacket.

In the company corridor, he took off his coat and loosened his tie.

In the end, he put on the purple sunglasses that Yang Nai had given him again.

He took off his interview attire and then looked at the bewildered Section Chief Miku.

"I'm sorry, Section Chief Miku, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

After sincerely thanking and apologizing to Section Chief Miku, Li Xuan turned and left the company.

The handwritten resume was left on the sofa.

After half an hour.

Li Xuan drove his car at full speed towards the commercial street.

—【The Undying Dragon; I never expected that Yui-oka would ask him for help.】

While driving, Kiyoshi Baba called him.

—[I've heard of him. Rumor has it he single-handedly destroyed ten territories in one night, a legendary underworld boss. He's already a "Dragon" at such a young age...]

Kiyoshi Baba warned sternly: "Be careful, he's on a completely different level from Centurion Nagano."

Li Xuan was driving and could already see the Mi Chui warehouse building.

—【Be careful, we're on our way.】

In the final words of the phone call, Baba Kiyoshi said...

Li Xuan parked the car on the side of the road and got out. It was broad daylight, but the once bustling commercial street was deserted, not a soul in sight. All the shops were closed, and plastic bags rolled on the ground in the wind, just like the four cities.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the Mi Chui Building under the gray, cold sky.

※※※※

Classroom at Chiba Municipal Sobu High School.

While Yukino was still in class, she finally heard a very faint notification sound from LINE.

She took out her phone with some concern, opened it, and saw that person's last reply.

—【I'm sorry, I owe you.】

.......

On the rooftop of the warehouse building, Li Xuan turned off his phone.

He looked up and gazed at the other side.

On the other side, among a densely packed group of thugs, stood a yakuza leader in his thirties.

Baba Kiyoshi stood beside Li Xuan, remained silent for a moment, and then whispered, "This is bad. The Undying Dragon and the Steel Fist Tiger, both monsters have arrived."

According to the rules, the two gang leaders were to settle their differences here.

The Undying Dragon took off his shirt, and the dazzling dragon patterns swirled around him as he walked towards Li Xuan, seemingly as agile as a blue dragon.

On Li Xuan's shoulders rests the fate of 135 subordinates and their families, their very survival and future.

"..."

Li Xuan looked at the immortal dragon and asked, "If I tattoo a dragon on my body, can I really become a dragon?"

"My body has no totems; I am simply myself!"

Li Xuan stepped forward to meet them, his body radiating resentment and anger amidst the vast crowd, and said...

Chapter 032 Like a Dragon

The immortal dragon was surrounded by a flying dragon, its scales shimmering in the light, and its muscles bulged like fists, brimming with boundless explosive power.

Li Xuan's shirt was pure white, and his body appeared rather thin, but he still displayed a powerful sense of tension when facing opponents who had an advantage in size and weight.

As he walked, Li Xuan glanced briefly at the group of people, including Tamura, who were tied to iron pipes.

One person swept through three streets in one night, taking down more than sixty people, and not even a single member of the Ashikawa group who went to report the crime managed to escape...

"There's no need to worry about them. My only goal is to step in and claim this territory."

The Undying Dragon maintained a distance of twenty meters from the forty or fifty members behind him. His facial muscles were taut as he looked at Li Xuan and said, "According to the rules, I win, and the Ashikawa Group has to give up this territory."

Li Xuan stood in front of him and replied, "There is no such rule. I just came to ask for these people's money back."

"The rules are made by the victors, and that is the rule."

The immortal dragon asked, "Is that so, War Demon?"

Li Xuan stared at the immortal dragon, offering no further answers to the questions.

Ultimately, this was an outcome we already knew.

Even if his father was willing to let him leave, the initial desperation, followed by his rise to a high position, and the fact that a group of equally desperate people who didn't want to be bullied but instead chose to bully others, meant that this group was no longer just a simple company relationship, but a group whose fates and lives were tied together. Even if it meant getting his hands dirty, there were things he couldn't let go of.

But the pristine white interview attire still clung to him. After the brief dream ended, a lingering sense of resentment and disappointment remained in his heart. This resentment wasn't overwhelming, because he was used to it. But day by day, year by year, lifetime by lifetime, it would accompany him...

Yet it was still extremely heavy.

Finally, after a brief moment of calm, the Undying Dragon said, "Go, War Demon!"

In an instant, the immortal dragon took a step forward, and its terrifying aura, like a tidal wave of a blue dragon sweeping up and engulfing Li Xuan, almost gave people the illusion of something else.

However, in the face of the towering dragon tide, the snow-white figure that came towards them resembled a humanoid ghost filled with resentment.

In a hazy memory, amidst the calm, I see myself sitting in my seat, accustomed to the outcome...
