[WDIDWAMGB] Chapter 132: Invitation

Li Yexing sat in the room, holding Lilith while chatting with Rita and Kanan, while Hitomi sat on the side, looking stiff and motionless. After about ten minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Rita stood up and walked to the door, opening it to reveal a short, elderly woman who looked somewhat uneasy. She spoke some Japanese to Rita, and behind her were several men dressed in suits, all with menacing expressions and ugly faces.

As Rita talked to the woman, the men urgently scanned the room. When they saw Hitomi sitting inside, the men in suits brightened up and the lead man excitedly waved at her. When Hitomi saw him, she immediately stood up and ran over.

Rita turned to Li Yexing and whispered, "They seem to be people from Chishima's family, here to take her home."

He didn't care and simply waved his hand. "Then let them take her away quickly..."

Rita turned back and smiled as she chatted with the lead man in the suit. The atmosphere was still pleasant, but after a few exchanges, she looked uncomfortable.

She turned to Li Yexing and said softly, "They said that, in gratitude for your help saving Chishima Hitomi, her father would like you to accompany them back home..."

Li Yexing, sitting on the tatami, didn't say anything, just frowned and looked at the lead man in the suit.

Seeing Li Yexing's displeased expression, the lead man in the suit put on a smile that he thought was amiable and spoke to him in Japanese.

"He says not to worry," Rita translated. "He says Chishima's father just wants to meet the person who saved his daughter's life and express his gratitude. He hopes you won't make things difficult for them."

Li Yexing furrowed his brow and looked at the black-haired girl standing next to him, her eyes sharp and a hint of expectation and something else in them. He then turned his head and asked Rita, "By the way, who is her father?"

Rita turned her head and chatted with the man in the suit for a moment. But then, Hitomi who was next to them spoke up, straightening her chest and saying something to Rita before turning to him, her sharp eyes seemingly carrying a hint of expectation and something else.

"Master..." Rita's expression was somewhat ugly; she bowed slightly and said, "Chishima's father is the leader of a local gang or rather a yakuza called the 'Chishima Group', and she is the daughter of the yakuza's leader as well as the next successor of the Chishima Group."

"Heh, the princess of the underworld gang?" Li Yexing turned to look at Hitomi, a slightly disdainful smile on his face. "We're just here on vacation and will leave in a few days. You don't have to cling to us like this."

Rita translated his words to Hitomi in a more polite and appropriate manner.

Seeing that Li Yexing looked somewhat dissatisfied, a hint of anxiety flashed across the girl's face. She spoke a long string of Japanese words to him at a very fast pace and then bowed directly to him.

As soon as Hitomi bowed, several men in suits around her also immediately bowed to him.

"Ah!" The sudden synchronized bow from this group of people seemed to startle Lilith. She subconsciously moved her small buttocks backward, while Kanan next to her didn't say anything, but her face showed a hint of displeasure.

"My goodness, are your waists made of springs?" On the other side, Li Yexing was a bit impatiently holding his forehead.

Rita was just about to translate what Hitomi had said, but he waved his hand to stop her.

"No need to translate. I can probably guess what she said," Li Yexing stood up, looking helplessly at the line of men in suits in front of him. "Are you really yakuza? You are too polite."

"What do we do now, Master?" Rita asked in a low voice.

"What else can we do?" Li Yexing rubbed his temples and said to Rita, "Ask them if we can bring our people along."

So Rita translated his words to Hitomi. Upon hearing her words, Hitomi immediately stood up straight and smiled, speaking a few Japanese words to him. Then the circle of men in suits around her shouted a sentence in Japanese in unison and stood up straight.

Although he didn't understand what Hitomi was saying, he still understood what those men in suits were saying: "Thank you very much."

"Miss Chishima said she would be honored to have you and your people's presence," Rita smiled and said beside them.

"Okay, let's get up," Li Yexing called on Lilith and Kanan to stand up, shouting loudly, "Don't sit there anymore. They are inviting us to dinner."

Lilith stood up directly and said to Hitomi, "Lilith wants to eat ramen, sukiyaki, takoyaki, tempura, and hand-pressed sushi..."

As Lilith spoke the Japanese food names emotionlessly in her heavily British-accented, Hitomi looked completely confused.

"Inviting us to dinner?" On the other side, Kanan stood up and leaned against Li Yexing, whispering, "I thought this trip was for tourism and no violence. How did we end up being invited to dinner by some Japanese gang?"

"Don't overthink it..." Li Yexing tapped Kanan's head and said, "Judging by the situation, it should be just a simple dinner to repay the debt for saving that Japanese girl's life..."

Lowering his voice, he added, "But we still need to be careful. After fighting for so many years, if I were to be defeated by some Japanese gang, it would be a joke for Roples, and the Italians there would probably laugh at me."

Meanwhile, Rita interrupted Lilith's recitation of the menu with a laugh and spoke a few sentences in Japanese to the confused Hitomi, who also responded with a smile. Then, Rita turned around and smiled at him, saying, "Shall we go, Master?"

After Lilith, Rita, and Kanan put on their jackets, he followed Hitomi out of the room with his girls. When they arrived at the hotel's entrance, they saw three black cars parked outside. A man in a suit walked quickly towards them and opened the door of the last car, gesturing to him and the others.

"They even prepared the cars..." Kanan whispered to him, "If we refuse to go, do you think they'll tie us up and take us there? I've heard that Japanese gangs like to throw people into the bay or something..."

Li Yexing pushed Kanan onto the back seat and smiled, "Believe me, if they dare to lay a hand on us, it will be them who end up in the bay."

Kanan thought for a moment and nodded, "I guess you're right."

While they spoke, he sat in the middle of the back seat, with Lilith on his left, Kanan on his right, and Rita continuing to sit in the front seat for convenience in communication with the driver.

Once the car doors were closed, the car that he was in followed the two cars in front and began to move on the road...
