Heading to the Party

A whole week.

I had a great time for a whole week!

Chen Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, picked up the washed fruit, and carefully knocked on the door.

"Sister Qian, may I come in?"

"Um."

Upon receiving a reply from the woman inside the door, he happily pushed open the door and walked in.

A peeled apple was placed on the bedside table. Chen Yi sat beside it and, as he handed over the apple slices, asked with concern:

"How are you? Is your injury any better?"

Lying on the bed is a voluptuous woman with long, wavy hair, contentedly eating the apple he offered, nodding vaguely.

"Thanks to Ah Yi's care, I'm much better now."

Ah Yi!

She calls me A-Yi!

Chen Yi, as if injected with adrenaline, blushed and waved his hands modestly, "Oh, no, no..."

What an innocent and naive reaction from a young male chef.

"Sigh." Ah Qian rested her chin on her hand, stared at Chen Yi, and slowly said:

"Those guys have already been taken care of by my dad."

"Oh? That's great!" Chen Yi said with a beaming smile, "As expected of a powerful figure in the underworld, you wiped out those pests in one fell swoop!"

"Now you're safe, Sister Qian!"

"However," Ah Qian sighed, feigning a sigh, "I still have a worry."

"What's bothering you, Sister Qian? Tell me~ I'll definitely help you with anything I can!"

Ever since he picked up this "gangster heiress," Chen Yi has been living in constant fear, terrified that one day her enemies will come knocking on his door.

If I hadn't fallen in love with Sister Qian at first sight, my heart would have been pounding.

He would never accept the daughter of a mob boss who is being hunted down by his enemies.

Fortunately, those enemies have all been dealt with by the young lady's father.

"My problem is that my dad wants me to go to an underground dance party."

"But what if I don't have a boyfriend? How about you... Ah Yi... pretend to be my boyfriend?"

"I... I quite like you because of the meticulous care you've taken these past few days..." A faint blush appeared on A-Qian's face.

At the same time, she reached out her delicate hand, which smelled of rouge, and took his hand in hers.

"This..." Chen Yi's mind went blank, and he swallowed hard.

I took care of Sister Qian for seven whole days, and I never expected... I actually touched her hand!!

Please, it's a woman's hand!! I actually touched it...

"This...this...really? Haha, Sister Qian~", Chen Yi was so excited.

On his way to school, he finds a gangster's daughter being chased and becomes her fake boyfriend to attend a high-society ball...

The case is solved! I'm the male protagonist of a light novel!!

"How was it, Ah-Yi?" Ah-Qian blinked her big, contact-eyed eyes and pouted her bright red lips, acting coquettishly.

OMG!!!

Chen Yi, controlling the larger head with his smaller head, took a deep breath, his eyes resolute:

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down!"

Outside, Liu Yewan's brothers exchanged glances. The plan had worked!

"Boss~ Ah Qian has successfully gained Chen Yi's trust and arranged to meet him at the Viper Gang's place..."

I waited for a few minutes.

"Boss?"

The underlings were puzzled, since their boss, Zi Chuan, was always by their side.

Why are you taking so long to reply to my message this time?

the other side.

Liu Ye Wan Bar.

"Xiao Jia... how... how did she get so burned?! Damn it... I'll fuck your mother—!"

Seeing his younger brother's face flushed red and him delirious with a high fever, Lu Zichuan panicked and slapped one of his underlings across the face.

"I..." The younger brother who had been slapped felt wronged, but dared not explain.

Ah Zhu quickly apologized, "Brother Zi... Brother Lu stood in the rain for eight hours waiting for someone..."

"Male or female?"

"Uh... male..." Ah Zhu was about to explain in detail when Lu Zichuan interrupted her.

What?! Waiting for a man in the rain!

"Well……"

"Don't say anymore... I understand..."

Lu Zichuan closed his eyes in anguish, recalling the past, and grief welled up within him.

"No wonder you don't go near women... I really thought you were just obsessed with motorcycles and games, some kind of delusional teenager..."

"I never imagined you'd follow your sister's wrong path... and become a lesbian..."

Semi-conscious Lu Xiaojia murmured, "Faster...faster...it's over...superego..."

(Faster! Faster! I have to overtake him! No, he's already past me!)

Lu Zichuan: (°Д°)

Hurry up? Gone? Superego?

Brother, you...you!!!

Overwhelmed with grief, Lu Zichuan couldn't help but shout, "No—"

He recalled his older sister, who should have inherited the family's only "Ma Sheng" name but was expelled from the family because she was a "same" (a homonym)...

My older sister and younger brother are both from Tong... I don't want that kind of thing!!

"Knock, knock, knock..." The younger brother knocked on the door and cautiously peeked in, saying:

"Brother Zichuan, Minister Yixin wants you to attend a meeting."

Upon arriving outside the meeting room, Lu Zichuan pushed open the door in frustration.

Inside the room was a large round table, in the center of which sat a disheveled homeless man, thin and with dirty hands, intently stroking a figurine of Alina Lige.

"Oh ho ho ho~ Great-grandmother~ Great-grandmother Spala~"

Lu Zichuan: ...

"Minister... who is this...?"

Sitting to the side, Ma Shengyi put one hand to his forehead and gave him a helpless and speechless look.

Lu Zichuan understood immediately and looked at the man with disbelief.

He called out tentatively.

"Commander...sir?"

The homeless man, who was touching the figurine, froze, slowly raised his head, and revealed a calm and profound look in his cloudy eyes.

The next second, the homeless man sitting on the table turned into a pool of blood and dissolved.

Immediately afterwards, a young man of the same height as the homeless man, but with a completely different appearance, appeared behind him, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed heartily:

"Zi Chuan, why didn't you just kick me to the ground this time, stomp on me dozens of times, and yell 'Where did this stinking beggar come from, running wild at night?'?"

Lu Zichuan: ...

Lu Xuanlin grinned, a hint of regret in his smile.

What he enjoyed most was seeing people of lower status and strength humiliate him, only to suddenly realize with shock that the person they had insulted was actually their boss…

Ma Shengyi's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Chief, stop teasing him. There are more important matters to attend to now."

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Isshin, what kind of teasing is this? You don't know, in Great Xia, I've seen top assassins, bounty hunters, or mercenary leaders retire to become security guards, bodyguards, or even live-in sons-in-law..."

"Last time I went to Great Xia, I caught up with Ye Chen, the leader of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group."

"He's even more ruthless than me! Despite being an A-level superhuman with a bounty of over 100 million, he willingly became a live-in son-in-law of the Su family, a bottom-tier wealthy family in Lincheng. He endured endless humiliation, never fighting back or arguing back, and practically scrubbed the toilet in the house raw."

"It's perfectly normal for me to pretend to be a homeless person, a poor student, or an exploited, miserable office worker, get my face stepped on, and then immediately expose my true identity and slap them in the face."

"Huh? Mr. Ma, what's with that look? Am I not a normal person?"

Ma Shengyixin:...

"No, you're perfectly normal. We're the ones who look like we've been knocked out."

He suspected that the assassin ranking list might be tainted with drugs.

The people on the list are very capable.

But with a large hole missing from his brain, toilet water mixed with excrement was poured in all at once.

Thus, foul-smelling excrement replaced the thinking brain.

Lu Xuanlin laughed heartily, took the head seat with an air of nonchalance, and casually crossed his legs:

"I heard you guys have some kind of plan targeting the Viper Gang? You didn't call me back just so I could hear about it, did you?"

To make amends for his previous mistake, Lu Zichuan quickly spoke up:

"Chief...we suspect there's someone who's retired, so we'll lure him to the Viper Gang's dance party, and then we'll do this and that, and we can reap the benefits..."

"Heh~", the commander chuckled, "It doesn't sound very good either."

Upon hearing the statement—that the retired person was a student—the chief's expression hardened, and he asked:

Where was he located in the classroom?

Lu Zichuan didn't understand why the Chief of Staff was asking the same question as his cousin, but he still answered truthfully:

"Back row, by the window..."

Lu Xuanlin gasped, looked at Ma Shengyi, and sincerely praised him:

"Isshin, I knew it! Entrusting Ryuya Banji to you was the right thing to do!"

"Your talent and wisdom truly delight me... You truly deserve the unique title of 'Horse Master'."

Ma Sheng's lips twitched slightly. He rubbed his temples and took a deep breath.

"Chief, please don't joke. The main reason we invited you back today is to discuss the cooperation between the 'Black Dragon Group' and the 'Viper Gang.'"

"According to the latest reliable information, the 'Viper Gang' has somehow made contact with the 'Black Dragon Group,' and the specific details of their cooperation will be finalized tonight."

"The intelligence came too late this time, catching us completely off guard. Now, we can't just 'play tricks' on the Viper Gang; we must 'take the initiative' and crush the combined forces of the two gangs."

Liu Ye Wan was originally a stray dog ​​who had been driven to Shilu by the Black Dragon Group.

The animosity between the two sides had already reached its maximum.

Now, the Viper Gang has released information indicating its willingness to cooperate with the Black Dragon Group.

Therefore, this means that for Liu Ye Wan, the Viper Gang is no longer a "powerful dragon crossing the river", but a real "absolute enemy".

Ma Sheng Yixin released a photo of a pink-haired man with a long, narrow scar on his cheek.

His face was thin, and his eyes were sunken, like a drug addict.

"Kameda Kojiro, a remnant of the Phantom Butterfly Group, is a B-rank superhuman with a bounty of 7920 million US dollars."

"Commander, you and he are the same height, both 175cm."

"I hope you can become like him and assassinate Takatsukasa Ichigen."

"In this way, the Viper Gang and the Black Dragon Group will definitely develop a rift. As long as the two gangs don't join forces, Liu Ye will be fine."

The main plan is to assist the Chief of Staff in assassinating Takatsukasa Ichigen.

Sub-plan – Seducing the mysterious recluse Chen Yi VS. Takatsukasa Ichigen.

Lu Xuanlin squinted, stroked his stubble, and thought for a moment before saying:

"Not safe enough."

"The true 'principle' of Takatsukasa Ichigen's hidden technique, 'Teleportation,' has yet to be revealed."

"My chances of successfully assassinating him are no more than 50%."

The reason why hidden skills are called "hidden skills" rather than "superpowers" or "skills" is because people with supernatural abilities must hide their skills.

Otherwise, once the principle behind the "technique" is exposed, others will find ways to counter or exploit it, which is called "restraint".

A combat power of 100 points will plummet to 10 points.

There are many ways to conceal one's "skills"—such as confusing the public, reversing cause and effect, etc.

Takatsukasa Ichigen's hidden skill has not yet been revealed.

No one dared to bet on whether he was actually "shifting positions".

for example.

If a superhuman exhibits the ability to "invisibly"...

However, there are multiple possibilities for the principle of achieving the "invisibility" effect, such as "light manipulation" or "spatial folding".

That is, principle P is a sufficient but not necessary condition for result Q.

Therefore, one should never infer the principle behind a supernatural person's hidden skills based solely on their outward appearance.

Most of the information about Takatsukasa Kazuki online is information he released himself to mislead people.

Ma Sheng didn't look up, and said calmly, "Therefore, I will go with you to assist the Chief in killing Takatsukasa Ichigen!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zichuan panicked, "Minister, but..."

"It's nothing serious," Ma Sheng said softly, closing his eyes.

"Now that I have inherited the name 'Ma Sheng,' I am prepared to go through fire and water for my family."

"Last time I missed it, which caused my uncle, aunt, father, mother... the whole clan to die or be maimed, and the remaining clan members were forced to go to the countryside to live a life of eeriness."

"I should commit seppuku!"

"But my family is facing a life-or-death crisis, how can I just leave?"

Ma Sheng suddenly smiled and said, "Besides, Zi Chuan... I'm just the last line of defense. It's not certain whether I'll even be needed."

Lu Zichuan looked at his cousin, his heart heavy. He knew—

Once a fuse is activated, the only outcome is "breakage".

Isshin Masaki's swordsmanship is highly distinctive.

Once a large-scale sword attack is unleashed, it will surely be noticed by the Viper Gang and the Black Dragon Group—it turns out that the "Dual Sword Demon" is a member of the Ma Sheng (Lu) family, and the White Dragon Society has another powerful figure who can turn the tide.

At that time, the Black Dragon Group will definitely put aside matters in Tokyo and focus all its efforts on eliminating this unstable factor.

To protect the family and Liu Ye Wan, it is necessary to "sever ties" with the cousin, which means expelling Ma Sheng Yixin from the family as a "traitor" and issuing a "kill order".

"Cousin..."

"I've said it countless times: use your official title in public."

"Cousin!" Lu Zichuan pursed his lips and knelt down solemnly:

"We're waiting for you to come back!"

……

dark night.

Jiang Ling squatted silently outside the hotel.

Hundreds of luxury cars—including well-known brands like XPeng, Mazda, Geely, Emgrand, and BYD—were parked in front of the magnificent hotel.

This is enough to show how many wealthy families were among the attendees at the ball.

This operation has two objectives:

1. Investigate the identity of the mysterious boss of the Viper Gang.

2. They killed everyone present who was associated with the Viper Gang.

3. Bring coconut chickens home and feed them to Mei Yu.

"According to intelligence, those who enter need to wear masks, identification cards with their names pinned to their chests, and different cooperating forces have different access codes."

Jiang Ling looked at the street not far away. Nearby was a famous anime and manga shopping street, where a JOJO-themed clothing store was having a promotion.

He went inside.

Soon.

A muscular blond man in a suit wearing a "stone mask" decoration walked out.

He wore a custom-made name tag on his chest: "Dio·Brandu".

……

The stone-faced, yellow-haired man went inside not long after.

A taxi was parked steadily in front of the hotel at the intersection.

Chen Yi, his face flushed, got out of the passenger seat, opened the back door, and bowed politely.

"Please, beautiful lady..."

"Don't use the term 'Miss'!" Ah Qian's tone subconsciously turned cold, but realizing her persona was off, she quickly softened her tone and added:

"You can call me... Qian'er."

Chen Yi: (* ⁰̷̴͈꒨⁰̷̴͈)=͟͟͞͞➳❤

"Qian...Qian'er, please get off the bus..."

After getting off the bus, Qian put a blue mask, similar to those worn by amusement park kids, on his head, gave him some instructions on the rules, and then took his hand with a shy smile.

"Ayi... let's go."

Chen Yi walked into the grand hotel with a throbbing head, his heart pounding at over 100 miles per hour. He chuckled to himself:

"Okay...okay..."

Oh ho ho ho ho~~~ There's hope! There's definitely hope!

I, Chen Yi... am about to become a married man, finally able to shed my virginity!
