I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

At the meeting hall in Ashikawa, a dozen or so cadres attended a cadre meeting held by the young master's horse farm.

"It's about the confrontation with the Majima Group and the Kansai gang alliance."

Sitting in the center, the obese Baba Kiyoshi spoke with a gloomy expression.

Inside the guild hall, Li Xuan sat in the third position, not because of his seniority, but because he was the key person in this matter.

"Yes, it's been a long time since such a high-level meeting has been held. This time, the opponent is that mad dog. He is indeed not to be underestimated."

An elderly elder, dressed in a loose kimono, squinted and murmured something.

"But we also have War Ghost and Young Master. If Naito the Executioner were here, we wouldn't be afraid at all. Besides, Mad Dog is already fifty years old, and his era has passed."

"It was said by a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a suit."

A calm, bald middle-aged cadre said, "I didn't expect those people from Kansai to go back on their word, but it's not surprising. In our line of work, trust is inherently unreliable. But we can't let them off so easily this time, old man."

......

The atmosphere of the dozen or so executives and veterans discussing the matter clearly demonstrates the weight that [Goro Majima] carries in the Chiba underworld.

The man who created a legend... This description is not an exaggeration at all.

But this time, Li Xuan sat in his seat, his body tense, showing no intention of backing down.

In the morning, the Ashikawa Group and the Majima Group openly confronted each other in Senkura Street, and Li Xuan met this legendary man for the first time.

Arrogant, even insane, he constantly provoked Li Xuan with words and expressions.

Surprisingly, the Majima group did not make any intrusive moves that violated street regulations throughout the entire day.

After exchanging greetings, Goro Majima led his subordinates to the rented company building.

Li Xuan thought he was destined to fight, but he was just placed in the street like this, which still puzzles him to this day.

In any case, this senior who debuted thirty years earlier than him was indeed different from any other strong person before, giving him a refreshing experience.

Kiyoshi Baba said, "This morning, the entire Majima Group mobilized and provoked Gen. However, due to the interests of the neighborhood, no conflict occurred. Currently, the Majima Group has forcibly rented a building in the neighborhood and set up a construction company. I have reason to believe that the Majima Group has cooperated with the Kansai gangs and intends to attack our partners and take over our territory and industry."

These words caused all the cadres' expressions to change drastically.

The Mashima-gumi has actually moved into Senkura Town! This news is absolutely explosive!

"What?! It really is Majima!?"

"Did he really team up with the Kansai gangs to fight against us?"

"I suspect the East City Gang is behind him. Could it escalate to the point where both gangs are ganging up on us?"

An atmosphere of unease is growing stronger among cadres.

The Tojo Clan is the strongest yakuza group in the Tokyo area of ​​Japan, and its strength is definitely greater than that of the Illuminati in Chiba.

Even if the Ashikawa Group and the Illuminati survive a major battle, their strength will certainly be severely damaged.

"Don't worry, everyone."

Just then, the father, who had been silent behind the scenes, spoke to everyone.

"Dad."

Young Master Baba Kiyoshi and the others looked at the pillar of the group, the highly respected elderly group leader.

In the somber Japanese-style setting, the old man slowly said, "There's too much speculation now. I've also heard of Goro Majima. He seems to be a true samurai, extremely righteous and chivalrous. We don't know the reasons behind it, and it's premature to conclude that he has joined forces with the Kansai gangs."

The old man glanced at Li Xuan and instructed, "Xuan, a samurai should fight openly and fairly. The fact that he hasn't violated any street rules means he's not yet an enemy. Before the matter is fully investigated, you are not allowed to take action against their company, understand?"

Li Xuan listened calmly to his father's words, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Okay."

"But situations can change in an instant, and anything is possible. Xuan... If he really becomes your opponent, then he will be your most dangerous enemy to date. Although the Undying Dragon is very strong, you have too little experience fighting dragons. You may not be his match, and fighting him may be a life-or-death situation. So... are you still willing to take the plunge and fight?"

The old man looked at him seriously and asked.

The guild hall fell silent.

Li Xuan knelt on the soft cushion, the smooth wooden board was dark, the sunlight was dim and flickering, his body was immersed in the light and darkness, and he remained motionless.

Yukinoshita Harano......

The daughter of a prefectural assembly member, a descendant of the Chiba family, a clever and enigmatic woman.

Their relationship was based solely on self-interest.

Are we going to fight to the death for this benefit?

Is the interest truly for the benefit he has in mind?

"Dad, I will not betray my comrades."

Li Xuan bowed deeply and said.

"I entrust the safety of Yukinoshita to you all."

Li Xuan made his request.

Don't abandon this ally.

Even if it meant risking his life, he hoped he could protect Yukinoshita.

What is owed must be repaid.

Li Xuan's body was strong and powerful, and in everyone's eyes, he looked like a crouching tiger.

"We have no intention of abandoning our alliance; the history of the Ashikawa-gumi never abandons its comrades."

The old man looked at Li Xuan and said.

"Don't worry, leave things to us. However, Xuan... you know the extreme world is full of grudges and conflicts, and eventually you will have to make a choice."

The old man's tone was full of worry, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.

"A hero can die for a friend. Perhaps not this time, perhaps not next time, but one day you will meet an opponent who can take your life and you can take his. At that time, I still hope you can make the right choice."

The old man smiled.

"Don't worry, just do what you want to do. If Majima Goro is the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, then you are also the Ashikawa Group's... Okita Souji."

※※※※

The meeting unanimously decided to launch a full-scale war against the Kansai gangs.

There was another decision to be made directly to Yukinoshita, the person under my special protection.

Kiyoshi Baba personally found Yono in the street.

"Mr. Baba, is there something you need?"

Yukinoshita Haruno, standing downstairs in the apartment building, asked curiously.

"I'm here officially to discuss something with Ms. Yukinoshita on behalf of the Ashikawa Group."

Kiyoshi Baba wore a slight smile.

He introduced Li Xuan, who had taken off his sunglasses and was wearing a sharp black suit, to Yang Nai.

"For your safety, the organization suggests that our group's [Okita Souji]... no, War Demon, be fully responsible for your security. Your situation is very dangerous, and only War Demon can protect you. So, wherever you go, from now on, you should act with A-Xuan. Do you agree to this proposal?"

Kiyoshi Baba asked with a smile and politeness.

This kind of introduction is the orthodox practice of the Yakuza, a negotiation method in which a capable henchman is dispatched in the name of the group to assist the political family in its work.

Yang Nai glanced at Li Xuan with a bewildered expression.

"..."

Li Xuan remained silent.

"Um, will he do whatever you ask him to do?"

Yang asked with a smile.

"It's not like I'm giving you a servant!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but interject.

"You two are already very familiar with each other. You should say that you and him are the only link in the cooperation. However, he is one of the big shots of the Ashikawa Group, so I guess that won't work. It depends on how you each make arrangements."

Baba Kiyoshi was used to this; he was simply following tradition. If Li Xuan had suddenly offered to protect her safety throughout, his position would have been rather awkward. Moreover, this matter was an important task for the Ashikawa Group and even the entire Illuminati, and could not be taken lightly.

"Hmm... It does seem that the situation is rather dangerous, since you've already introduced your trump card."

Yukinoshita smiled and agreed, "Alright then, I accept the offer."

Please give me your guidance.

Li Xuan said something polite, though he was puzzled.

"What are you talking about? This is very strange."

Yang Nai patted Li Xuan on the shoulder and said with a hearty laugh.

With the formal negotiations considered over, Baba Kiyoshi, carrying the reply, drove towards headquarters.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Maba Kiyoshi leave. That official tone and manner were really eerie; even the underworld values ​​this kind of ritual.

However, according to the plan, Li Xuan will not be able to go back to his own home for the time being. The care of Xiao Chu at home has been handed over to her friend Mei Bo's family under the pretext of a business trip. They have provided her with enough living expenses, so it seems that Xiao Chu will not be too lonely.

He temporarily stayed near Yang Nai's residence, keeping a close watch on Yang Nai's home where she lived alone, 24 hours a day.

This is the organization's official work arrangement, and the task of taking control of the streets and monitoring the Majima group will be handled personally by Kiyoshi Baba.

"Come on up, Okita Souji."

Yang Nai said to Li Xuan without any politeness.

"Forehead......"

Li Xuan was stunned.

"You were the one specifically assigned to help me. I was really startled just now. Can I understand that the person who actually came to protect me might not be you...?"

Yukino Shino pressed her fingerprint to unlock the inner door, then turned to Li Xuan and said.

"Yes, you could say that. But this opponent is too dangerous, so I was sent here," Li Xuan replied.

"Who are the opponents? Sakamoto Ryoma and his gang? (The leaders of the Restoration)" Haruno asked.
