Kitahara Makoto's bodyguards reacted quickly. A tall bodyguard shouted:

·····Requesting flowers··········

"Stop!" He charged at the man like a tiger descending a mountain, stretching out his strong arm and grabbing the man's wrist tightly.

"Let me go! I'm going to kill him!"

The man struggled, trying to break free of the bodyguard's grip. Another bodyguard quickly approached from the other side, and the two of them together pinned the man to the ground.

The plastic bottle shattered in the struggle, spilling a foul-smelling liquid. People nearby screamed and scattered, their faces showing disgust and terror.

"Quick, check if General Bei is alright!"

"A bodyguard shouted anxiously, while quickly checking Kitahara Makoto's body."

"I am fine."

Kitahara Makoto responded calmly, his gaze fixed on the man, a flash of anger in his eyes.

"Take him away!"

Police and security personnel arrived at the scene, subdued the man, and took him away. The situation gradually returned to calm.

Upon seeing this, reporters swarmed around Kitahara Makoto, asking for his opinion on the incident.

"This was indeed a shocking accident."

Kitahara Shin took a deep breath and slowly said, "Earth."

"But I believe our security team will handle this matter properly. I hope everyone can remain calm and rational, and not lose faith in society as a whole because of isolated incidents."

"President Bei, what is your response to this man's accusations?"

A reporter pressed for an answer.

"I don't know what he was talking about."

Kitahara Makoto frowned.

“But I believe that the law and justice will provide a fair answer. I will fully cooperate with the police investigation to ensure that the matter is handled properly.”

The atmosphere at the scene gradually calmed down after the man was taken away by police and security personnel.

Although the reporters were still busy taking pictures and recording, the commotion in the crowd had noticeably decreased.

Kitahara Makoto stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.

He looked around, his gaze firm and powerful.

He then cleared his throat and began his opening remarks:

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the opening ceremony of Starlight Tavern. I believe the little incident that just happened will not affect our festive atmosphere today."

"Starry Night Tavern is a project meticulously crafted by our team. We hope it can become a great place for everyone to relax, enjoy delicious food and drinks."

"We will repay the kindness of every guest with the best service, the most unique dishes and the most delicious drinks."

Kitahara Makoto's voice was strong and clear, full of confidence and determination.

As Kitahara Makoto finished his speech, applause and cheers erupted.

People expressed their anticipation and support for the Starlight Tavern.

Kitahara Shinya smiled and nodded amidst the applause, then turned and walked into the tavern.

Inside the Starlight Tavern, the soft, warm lighting creates a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere.

The pub's decor is elegant yet distinctive, with a wooden bar and vintage chandeliers complementing each other and exuding a captivating charm.

The air was filled with the faint aroma of wine and food, making one's mouth water.

When Kitahara Makoto entered the tavern, Haruko and the others immediately surrounded him.

They stood in the spacious and brightly lit tavern, with busy but orderly staff and occasional laughter in the background.

Haruko's face was full of concern, and her eyes scanned Kitahara Makoto up and down to make sure he was safe and sound.

Kitahara Shin smiled and shook his head:

"I'm fine, Haruko... Thanks to our bodyguard team, they reacted quickly and protected me."

"That's good."

Haruko breathed a sigh of relief.

We're all worried about you.

"Yeah, thanks to them."

Kitahara Shin glanced at his bodyguards, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

"You have worked hard."

Protecting your safety is our responsibility.

The bodyguards answered in unison.

At this moment, Ji Bochang also came over:

"Mr. Bei, what happened just now was really thrilling. But thankfully, it's all over now. Next, we need to continue to run the Starlight Tavern well and let more people know our name."

"Yes."

Kitahara nodded,

"We want to make Star 2.9 Tavern a landmark of this city. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, we will definitely succeed."

As Kitahara Makoto finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tavern became even more lively and harmonious.

People raised their glasses to celebrate the opening of the Starlight Tavern, while also looking forward to a bright future.

The tavern was filled with laughter and a warm atmosphere.

Chapter 320 Mai: Do you miss me on Valentine's Day, baby?

As the lights of the Starry Night Tavern gradually illuminated the night, the first group of guests arrived one after another.

The staff at the entrance warmly greet each guest and guide them into this fascinating new world.

Inside the tavern, Haruko, Evelyn, and the others were already busy. Haruko moved between the bar and tables, smiling and providing attentive service to the guests.

She skillfully poured wine for her guests, while also offering a few warm greetings.

Evelyn shuttled back and forth between the kitchen and the bar, ensuring that every dish and every drink was served on time and kept in top condition.

Just then, Kitahara Makoto's phone rang. He glanced at the screen; it was Sakurajima Mai calling.

He smiled slightly, put down his wine glass, walked to the door, and answered the phone.

"Hey, Mai, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

Kitahara Makoto's voice was full of tenderness and care.

"Really, I have some good news for you."

Mai Sakurajima's voice sounded somewhat excited.

"It's Valentine's Day today, and I'm already on my way back."

"Really? That's great!"

Kitahara Makoto said with delight,

"I've been waiting for you to come back."

"Yes, I know you're busy with the opening ceremony of the Starry Night Tavern, so I came back early."

Sakurajima Mai said,

I want to spend this special day with you.

"I am looking forward too."

Kitahara Makoto said,

When will you be able to arrive?

"It should be another hour or so."

Mai Sakurajima replied,

How's it going on your end? Did the opening ceremony go smoothly?

"all the best."

Kitahara Makoto said,

"Our guests love it here, and our team does an excellent job."

"That's good."

Sakurajima Mai said,

"I look forward to seeing you celebrate with everyone."

"me too."

Kitahara Makoto said,

"We'll celebrate together when you come back."

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Makoto returned to the bar.

There was a happy smile on his face.

As night fell, the Starlight Tavern was brightly lit, and laughter filled the air.

Kitahara Makoto stood by the bar and had a brief conversation with Haruko.

A barely perceptible hint of excitement and anticipation flickered in his eyes.

"Haruko, I have to go first."

Kitahara Shin smiled at Haruko, his face beaming with happiness, as if he were hiding a beautiful secret.

"Are you going to take care of something important?"

Haruko asked curiously, her eyes sparkling with concern.

"Yes, I'm planning to prepare a surprise for Mai."

Kitahara Shin nodded gently, his voice filled with tenderness and expectation.

After hearing this, Haruko smiled knowingly.

"Oh, it's Valentine's Day! Then hurry up and go, don't keep Mai waiting too long."

Kitahara nodded gratefully and turned to walk towards the door.

Their steps were light and powerful, as if each step was filled with anticipation for the future.

The surrounding scenery gradually blurred as he left, replaced by the city's neon lights and bustling streets.

Kitahara Makoto walked among the crowd, feeling the cool night breeze and the surrounding noise.

Suddenly, his phone rang; it was a text message from Mai Sakurajima:

"I'm already on my way, looking forward to meeting you again."

This text message made Kitahara Makoto's heart race, and he became even more determined to give her an unforgettable surprise.

Chapter 321 The Fragrance of Baby's Breath

Kitahara Shin quickly walked back to the parking lot behind the Starlight Tavern. His face was beaming with a happy smile, and his eyes sparkled with anticipation.

He eagerly opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and prepared to head to the flower shop to pick out Sakurajima Mai's favorite baby's breath.

Kitahara Makoto wore a dark suit, which made him look both composed and elegant.

His face was sharply defined, and his brows revealed a resolute air. He focused intently on starting the car, drove out of the parking lot, and disappeared into the nighttime traffic.

The street scenes along the way rushed past the car window, and Kitahara Makoto's thoughts drifted into the distance.

He imagined Mai Sakurajima's surprised expression when she received the baby's breath, and a sweet feeling welled up in his heart.
