[WDIDWAMGB] Chapter 127: Vacation to Japan
Added 2023-05-08 19:56:08 +0000 UTCTo put it bluntly, Li Yexing's house was blown up.
As the sun rose, he got out of bed, quickly freshened up, and sat down to watch the news. Since he didn't 'exercise' with his wives in the morning, Kanan took the rare opportunity to sleep in. As he enjoyed the quiet morning that he had not experienced in a long time, the wall behind him suddenly exploded.
He was buried directly in it.
After being dug out of the rubble by Lilith who came at the sound of the explosion, he looked at the blown-out outer wall and, while shaking off the debris and dust from his head, angrily exclaimed, "Who the hell did this?!"
"I don't know...Rita asked Lilith to take care of Yexing. Rita and Kanan went to catch the culprits..." Lilith said expressionlessly, "Yexing, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but the house isn't!" Li Yexing grabbed his dirty hair in frustration and growled, "When those bastards are caught, I'm going to stuff them all in sandbags, and beat them for a whole morning before doing anything else!"
He brought out sandbags from the warehouse and threw them onto the street. Lighting a cigarette, he sat where the wall should have been, waiting with a displeased expression. Soon, a large crowd gathered downstairs, pointing and discussing excitedly who the attackers could be, daring even to blow up Roples' mad dog kennel.
Less than ten minutes later, Rita and Kanan came back, dragging five guys who were wearing bulletproof vests and beaten to unconsciousness.
"Master, I knew you were okay!" Seeing him sitting upstairs safe and sound, Rita first showed a happy expression, but then showed a hint of apology, "Sorry, Master, only these five survived to be captured alive."
"Five is enough..." Li Yexing impatiently waved his hand and pointed at the sandbags on the ground, "Wake them up with cold water and stuff them all in these bags and hang them up for me!"
"Hmm? Shouldn't we interrogate them first?" Kanan, who was smoking next to him, asked, "If they are from the local forces, won't it become troublesome?"
"It's okay! We'll interrogate them after beating them. Whoever dares to blow up my building is definitely not a local!" Li Yexing snarled.
And so, the scene began with him symbolically punched a few times before going to treat his injuries on the side. Kanan happily took over his position. Originally, after a few rounds, she was supposed to hand over to Lilith, but there was an unexpected interruption.
The Italian Mafia arrived.
The godfather of the Mafia, Giorno Giovanna, said that if anyone started a fire on his territory, they should be handed over to him. Li Yexing thought about it and decided to give him some face and not let Lilith take over. After all, if she finished her round of punching, they would probably have to dig out the sandbag with a spoon since the people inside probably had become meatpaste.
In any case, they couldn't stay in the house until it was repaired.
"Go contact old Jack and have him help us patch up the walls..." Li Yexing said, rubbing his forehead with a hint of helplessness as he instructed Rita.
"Yes, Master," Rita replied with a smile on her face as if she wasn't angry at all about the house being bombed. Kanan's expression was a little unhappy, but not because of the house being bombed. It seemed more like she wasn't satisfied with her previous round of punching.
Turning to look at the sulking Lilith, he smiled a little. It seemed like someone really cared about this matter. Then he heard her muttering, "The game console is broken, Yexing won't let me punch the sandbag. The game console is broken, Yexing won't let me punch the sandbag..."
Okay, he was overthinking.
"Master," Rita whispered, "Mister Jack said he knows about our situation and thinks it will take time to fix the wall. There are also many damaged items inside the house, and the cement won't dry immediately, not to mention the need for remodeling..."
Looking at his unpleasant expression, she bowed and said, "I think we might have to stay in a hotel for a while..."
"I'm not going to stay in a local hotel..." Li Yexing waved his hand, looking displeased. "Those guys always install micro-cameras in the room. It's disgusting!"
"So... what does the Master want to do?" Rita asked.
He thought for a moment and said, "How about we go on vacation?"
"What?" Rita was taken aback, and even Kanan beside her was surprised. "Vacation? Boss, did you hit your head or something?"
"No! Listen first." Li Yexing said, "I just feel like we've been cooped up in the agency for too long. Since Kanan came here, we haven't even taken on many jobs. And come to think of it, besides the last equipment purchase, we hardly spend any money. We have so many savings it's starting to gather dust!"
The more he talked, the more enthusiastic he became, and he even decided on a destination.
"Let's go to Japan for a holiday! We can soak in hot springs, and see the cherry blossoms. A spontaneous trip like this would be amazing, don't you think?"
"Go to Japan!" Before Rita and Kanan could even say anything, the usually low-energy Lilith suddenly came to life. She whispered to herself, "Ramen, sushi, oden, game consoles, manga..." and as she reached the end of her list, Lilith leaped onto him, hugging his arm and chanting, "Go to Japan, go to Japan, go to Japan..."
"Going on vacation does sound pretty good," Rita said, with a hint of longing in her eyes when he mentioned Japan. But she quickly shook her head and said, "It would be better for Master to just go with Miss Lilith and Miss Kanan. Rita can stay here."
"Why? Are you worried about the renovations?" Li Yexing asked.
"Yes, Master. I think it would be better for me to stay here. After all, the agency's reconstruction needs someone to be present..." Rita smiled and gave a slight bow, and he caught a fleeting look of regret on her face.
"It's okay. Just give the agency's key to old Jack, and he'll take care of the rest." Li Yexing laughed.
"How can we give the agency's key to someone else?" Rita asked, puzzled.
"No worries..." Li Yexing smiled and said to Rita, "Remember this, in this Roples, even if that Italian guy Giovanna steals something, old Jack's will never do it!"
"However..." Rita seemed to have some concerns. She whispered, "The exterior walls of the agency are gone. Even if Mister Jack won't steal anything, it's difficult to guarantee that other thieves won't take advantage of our absence and steal from our warehouse. After all, in our warehouse..."
"They don't have the guts..." Li Yexing chuckled. "Besides, I'll contact the Italian guy to help us watch over the place. I sold him a favor in front of so many people today and given his personality, he'll definitely be willing to return it."
"Is that so?" Rita's face showed a hint of joy, and she smiled softly. "Then we'll leave everything to you, Master."
"Do you have any opinions?" Li Yexing turned to Kanan and asked.
"I'm fine, of course!" Kanan replied nonchalantly, then muttered under her breath, "Boss takes all the employees on vacation abroad. Am I working for a legitimate corporation now?"
Meanwhile, Lilith stood expressionless, gently swaying and muttering to herself, "Go to Japan, go to Japan, go to Japan..."
Looking at the agency that had been forcibly demolished and then at the girls beside him who seemed quite happy, Li Yexing's mood improved considerably.
