I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

Li Xuan was wearing a black suit and tie. He paused for a moment, looked at the young master, and then said, "Yes, young master."

There is no moonlight tonight, and a gentle breeze stirs the trees in the courtyard.

That day, the group called him to the hot spring hotel because of something.

The sliding door at the entrance slowly opened, revealing the young master inside, while the group leader sat in the main seat, with everyone in the room looking at him.

The pressure on Li Xuan increased significantly.

"Dad." Li Xuan took off his leather shoes, walked into the meeting room, went to the group leader, sat in the front row, and greeted him respectfully.

"Ah Xuan, you've arrived." The old man smiled kindly at him and said, "By the way, didn't you bring Xiao Chu?"

Li Xuan replied, "Xiao Chu said she needed to review her lessons, so she didn't come."

The old man looked regretful, feeling that even his grandson didn't receive this much love.

“Your sister is so sensible, and so are you, Ah Xuan. I asked you to come here today because I told you before. Starting today, you will be in charge of a commercial street that the team has been managing for a long time.”

The team leader's father said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Yes."

In fact, this means that Li Xuan has officially become a member of the group leader's family.

The most important role of a [family cadre] is to have the qualifications to inherit the positions of young master and group leader.

"And, you're already a high-ranking cadre in the group. I heard from other cadres that you don't have any tattoos yet, is that right?"

The old man asked with a smile.

"......Yes."

Li Xuan remained silent for a moment before replying.

The old man said, "Then let's get the tattoo here today. The horse farm has specially hired an excellent tattoo artist for you. You are qualified to get the [Black Dragon] tattoo."

In the yakuza world, all high-ranking leaders must have tattoos, and the designs are quite elaborate. The dragon itself symbolizes courage, wisdom, and strength. Generally, only the strongest and most prestigious members of a group are qualified to have dragon tattoos, and among dragon tattoos, the black dragon also signifies reliability and a pillar of support.

Li Xuan was not originally eligible to get a tattoo, but now he is.

However, this was precisely what Li Xuan did not want to see.

He placed his hands on the tatami mat and bowed to the group leader.

"Dad, please allow me not to get a tattoo."

Li Xuan's tone was firm as he refused to speak.

Both the old man and the young master were stunned.

Li Xuan placed his head on his palm, which was pressed against the ground, and did not lift it up.

"Nonsense!" Baba Kiyoshi shouted from the side, "There's never been a precedent of any high-ranking member of the yakuza refusing a tattoo. Do you know what a tattoo means to a yakuza leader? It's a symbol of status and spirit!"

The old man didn't react much, asking, "Why are you refusing tattoos? Are you afraid of the pain?"

Extensive tattooing of a gangster's skin is a long and complex painful experience, which is said to testify to the tattoo artist's endurance and courage.

Baba Kiyoshi, standing to the side, said, "Father, that's impossible. This person is the War Demon of Ashikawa, how could he be afraid of this little bit of pain?" The shadows of the trees swayed incessantly inside the house. Baba Kiyoshi looked at Li Xuan with a sinister gaze and asked, "Xuan, I've heard many things about you and your experiences, and I've worked with you for so long. You... you still hope to leave the Yakuza in the future, right?"

Li Xuan's body remained steadfast and unmoved.

"I advise you to abandon this cowardly idea."

Kiyoshi Baba said with a cold expression, "You should also know that if you just flip through the files of the police station's anti-gang unit, your deeds will follow you for the rest of your life. You are no longer an ordinary person. Holding onto such unrealistic ideas will only drag you down."

At this point, Li Xuan finally raised his body slightly.

"That's not how it works."

Li Xuan denied this claim.

“I know this request is impolite, but Dad, please allow me not to get a tattoo. No tattoo design can truly reflect my soul. I have always believed that I am who I am.”

Li Xuan sat up straight, looked directly at his father and the young master, and said.

"I am known as the 'War Demon,' so the dragon truly cannot represent my true self. The same goes for the general demonic symbols. A War Demon... is a demon who has lost their true nature, a demon who will fight to the death to protect what they consider precious. I will simply keep my original appearance... This is my personal choice, please allow me, Father."

Li Xuan had a clear mind and explained the principles he insisted on.

His mind was filled with images of people.

During this period when he suddenly became a yakuza boss, the interests and conflicts within the yakuza world tore him apart, but still... he still gained some memorable experiences in his heart.

Everything started after Soubu High School contacted him, and his solitary situation began to change.

So in the end, he chose to refuse to have the totem tattooed on his body...

The fact that [Luchuan War Demon] refused to get a yakuza tattoo is something that almost no one outside the community would believe.

But, just as his words suggested, the War Demon was protecting what was most precious to him...

"you......"

Baba Kiyoshi wanted to say something more, but his father quickly interrupted him.

"...Never mind, never mind. If Ah Xuan doesn't want to get a tattoo, then there's no need for him to get one. Whether or not someone in the group gets a tattoo is a matter of personal choice."

The old man's hunched back looked warm under the light. He smiled again and said, "But don't regret it. The [Black Dragon] tattoo is quite nice, and the meaning behind it is good. Many people are vying for it. When you want it, just tell the old man."

"!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan was overjoyed and thanked him, saying, "Father, thank you so much."

"Hehehe, it's not a big deal." The old man laughed, feeling that Li Xuan was taking this matter too seriously.

Baba Kiyoshi said helplessly to his father, "Father, you are still too lenient with the War Demon."

"Who told him to be called 'The War Demon of Ashikawa'... This title probably conveys his imposing aura even more than his tattoos."

The old man said with a smile.

"By the way, Ah Xuan."

The old man remembered something and asked, "Didn't you say on the phone that besides you coming over today, one of your friends also wanted to see this old man? Where is he now? Tell him to come over now."

Li Xuan remained silent for a moment, thought for a while, responded to the team leader, and then made a phone call to someone.

Soon, the door to the room opened again.

What appeared before everyone was a young woman with short hair, dressed appropriately, and with a strikingly beautiful face.

"Nice to meet you!"

Inside the venue, Yukinoshita Haruno smiled brightly, sat down next to Li Xuan, politely handed her father a gift, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you. My name is Yukinoshita Haruno. Please take care of me."

Beside the indifferent war demon, Yukino Yukinoshita makes a dazzling appearance in the Ashikawa Group!

Chapter 053 I Can't Understand Yang Nai's Words

When Yang Nai entered the venue, she deliberately placed the cushion close to Li Xuan's side and knelt down properly.

"?" Li Xuan was slightly taken aback. He glanced at Yang Nai and felt that sitting so close to her made him feel warmer.

"Miss Yukinoshita, why go to such lengths? I'm already very happy that you're willing to come and see this old man."

The old man greeted him with a smile.

"My father and I have received your esteemed assistance. My father has entrusted me to pay you a proper visit. I hope you will like this small gift."

Yang smiled politely and obediently as he spoke.

Because of Li Xuan, the Yukinoshita family and the Ashikawa group are secretly cooperating. Haruno has been looking for an opportunity to personally visit the Ashikawa group leader to show her sincerity in cooperating.

Yang Nai had missed the group leader's birthday party before, so when Li Xuan was selected as a family executive this time, Yang Nai seized the opportunity and rode in Li Xuan's car with him. She waited in the reception room until she received a phone call before officially paying a visit.

The old man was kind and approachable, and Yang Nai was polite and well-mannered. Li Xuan watched for a while and could tell that the old man seemed to have a very good impression of Yang Nai.

After discussing polite and informal topics for a while, the old man composed himself and carefully looked at Li Xuan and Yukinoshita Haruno, who were sitting very close to him.

"Miss Yukinoshita, although I've heard some things about you two, this old man is still a little curious: how did you two meet?"

The old man seemed very concerned and asked.

"..." Li Xuan remembered that he had told the old team leader, but it seemed that he had forgotten again.

"I met Ah-xuan in the park, and later, by chance, we had some business cooperation. Because of some issues with that piece of land in the city, I was targeted by gangs in Kanto. Thanks to your group and Ah-xuan's protection, I was able to stay safe. That's how we met."

Yukinoshita smiled and replied.

The team leader's life experience has not aged.

The expression on Li Xuan's face when he told the team leader about this was different from the expression on Yang Nai's face when she told him about it.

Yang Nai's expression clearly contained an emotion that Li Xuan lacked.

It's a very complicated feeling...

The old man smiled kindly and said, "I see. I almost forgot. It's your turn to fight for the future. We older generation can't keep up with the times. Everyone in the Ashikawa Group is trustworthy, loyal, and never does anything against their conscience. This can be proven by the outside world. This is also why the Ashikawa Group has gradually become a thing of the past. I hope you and Ah Xuan can cooperate well."

"Yes."

Yukinoshita readily agreed.

"By the way, Ms. Yukinoshita, what's your impression of my brat?"

My father, ever the one to bring up sensitive topics, asked a very ambiguous question.

"......Wait a moment."

Li Xuan narrowed his eyes, sensing that something was off about the topic.

Why did you suddenly bring him into this?

He stared wide-eyed, frantically trying to signal to his father, inwardly screaming, "Dad, what are you doing! We're in the underworld! This is a serious occasion where a political family is negotiating a partnership with the underworld! Don't ask such strange questions!"

To be fair, Li Xuan was both somewhat eager to hear Yukinoshita's sudden evaluation of him and somewhat reluctant to listen.

Yang Nai, however, remained calm and replied with a faint smile, "Ah Xuan is a trustworthy person, straightforward and kind, and close to my age, so we always have a lot in common. He's also very intelligent, um... that's roughly my impression."
