[WDIDWAMGB] Chapter 139: Commission

As noon approached, Li Yexing took the girls once again to the nightclub on the commercial street.

It was still daytime, so the nightclub was mainly occupied by staff and members of the Chishima Group. Under Hitomi's guidance, they all entered Shinjiro's office, the leader of the Chishima Group.

Li Yexing pushed the door open and walked straight to the desk, eliciting a surprised look from Shinjiro. With a cold smile, Li Yexing said, "If the old ones don't work, we'll try the young ones. You really have no limits."

Rita translated his words to Shinjiro, who shook his head and spoke in Japanese, appearing somewhat puzzled. Rita then spoke a long string of Japanese words, and it was unclear what she was saying. However, Shinjiro's expression grew worse, and he couldn't help but roar loudly at Hitomi. She remained silent, keeping her head down, concealing her expression.

Rita frowned slightly and turned to Li Yexing, saying, "Mr. Chishima says he is unaware of this matter."

Seeing Shinjiro still cursing at Hitomi, Li Yexing waved his hand irritably. He said to Rita, "Stop their acting, it's annoying to watch."

After considering for a moment, Rita conveyed to Shinjiro that Li Yexing was eager to learn about the commission they were assigned.

Just as Rita finished speaking, Hitomi, who had been scolded, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

A trace of reluctance appeared in Li Yexing's eyes, but Shinjiro remained expressionless as he called in the people waiting outside and had Hitomi carried away.

With an apologetic look on his face, Shinjiro stood up and bowed deeply to Li Yexing, speaking in Japanese. Rita translated, "He says his daughter has caused you embarrassment and hopes you can forgive Miss Chishima's rudeness. She is just impetuous; after all, the recent situation has been quite challenging."

"What does your optimism or pessimism have to do with me? Thanks to your daughter, I couldn't sleep well last night..." Li Yexing sat on the nearby sofa, displeased. He turned to Rita and said, "And now, because of a momentary lapse in judgment, I have to work overtime due to that little brat. Our vacation plans have gone up in smoke..."

"It's okay, Master," Rita smiled and said, "I don't mind. It's just what Miss Lilith and Miss Kanan said..."

"I don't care..." Kanan, sitting on the armrest of Li Yexing's sofa, crossed her legs and said, "We're already in this line of work. It's inevitable that our vacation gets ruined when the heartless boss pulls us in for extra shifts..."

"Sarcastic as always..." Li Yexing murmured softly. Although Kanan seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the idea of overtime work during their vacation, judging from her somewhat arrogant smile, it was clear that she not only wasn't unhappy but even seemed eager for it.

Li Yexing turned his head and asked Lilith, "Do you mind? Working overtime and all..."

"Lilith's game console broke..." Lilith said expressionlessly in a soft voice, "We can only work overtime..."

"Alright..." Li Yexing felt somewhat touched by accommodating his own girls. He turned to Rita and said, "Now, let the leader of this yakuza group speak about the commission."

Next, the leader of the Chishima Group began speaking a long string of Japanese, while Rita translated simultaneously. It was roughly about how the Kokuryukai, the largest yakuza gang in Nagaba, had changed its leadership recently, and the new leader was a bit insane. He wanted to wipe out all the gangs in Nagaba and establish dominance. Their methods were also very old-fashioned, targeting members of other gangs, officials, and even their families for assassinations. Up to this point, Li Yexing could understand, but then things started to get strange.

In theory, in gang conflicts, there should be casualties on both sides. However, so far, it seemed that all the other gangs were being unilaterally attacked. Even if they reported to the police, the authorities couldn't find enough evidence to convict the Kokuryukai. Especially after the new leader, Kuzugami Kuhara took over the Kokuryukai, their influence expanded rapidly. They also accepted anyone who sought refuge, further complicating the already difficult criminal investigation conditions. Adding to that were the delicate relationships between the police and the yakuza...

In short, expecting the Nagaba police to convict the Kokuryukai was basically impossible.

"So, what is your request?" Li Yexing leaned against Kanan's arm and asked, tilting his head. "What do you need us to do?"

Rita translated his question to Shinjiro, and then Shinjiro said something to him. Rita, standing beside them, translated synchronously, "Mr. Chishima says that the Chishima Group had an unpleasant negotiation with Kuzugami Kuhara of the Kokuryukai. Since then, the Kokuryukai has targeted the members and officials of the Chishima Group multiple times. The highest-ranking official from the Chishima Group who died was the First Lieutenant (Wakagashira). The Kokuryukai demands that the Chishima Group withdraw from the commercial street and has refused all subsequent negotiation requests from the Chishima Group."

At this point, Shinjiro handed a photo to Rita and said something to her. She then passed the photo to Li Yexing. Looking at the photo, he saw a middle-aged man who seemed difficult to deal with. He had a bulky figure, a bald head, and a face full of flesh. On top of the bald head was a black dragon tattoo.

"This man is called Okamoto Ichiro. He is a Kokuryukai official who usually lurks in the underground casino in the Eastern District..." Rita slightly bowed and said, "Mr. Chishima hopes that we can help the Chishima Group deal with this guy and try to bring the Kokuryukai back to the negotiation table..."

"Bring the Kokuryukai back to the negotiation table huh..." Li Yexing looked at the photo and a hint of mockery appeared on his face. "They killed your people, yet you only want to bring them back to the negotiation table?"

Li Yexing sneered and turned his head, saying, "If what you described is true, then I estimate that after I take care of this baldy, the Kokuryukai will not only refuse to compromise but also intensify their targeting of the Chishima Group. That person you mentioned, Kuzugami Kuhara, is likely similar to me..."

Rita translated his words to Shinjiro, who immediately wore a troubled expression. He said something to Li Yexing, and she translated, "Mr. Chishima says that the Chishima Group must maintain order in the commercial district. They don't have the capability to engage in a full-scale war with the Kokuryukai. Just pushing the Kokuryukai back to the negotiation table is enough."

"Alright then, I'm just a hired hand after all. As for the extent to which things are accomplished, it's up to the employer..." Li Yexing waved his hand with a smile, looking at Shinjiro, he continued, "What kind of weapons and equipment can you provide for our operation?"

Rita translated his words to Shinjiro, who immediately clapped his hands and signaled something to the people outside the door. Before long, a man in a suit walked in carrying a large black bag. He first bowed to Shinjiro and then placed the black cloth bag solemnly on the desk.

Upon hearing the sound of the bag touching the desk, Li Yexing knew for sure that it contained weapons and equipment. He stood up with interest and walked to the desk, opening the bag in front of Shinjiro's eyes and eagerly looking inside.

Then he was dumbfounded.

Inside the bag, there were katana, daggers, and various types of cold weapons. After searching through it for a while, he finally found a small, pitiful handgun.

Pinching the small handgun with two fingers, Li Yexing raised his head and looked at Shinjiro, saying, "What is this? Is it for shooting birds?"
