Chapter 45: Brain-to-Brain Data Transfer
The headquarters of the Koda-kai, a Yakuza branch, was an old multi-story building standing right on the street.
Doormen in black suits tightly guarded the entrance. The first-floor lobby apparently doubled as a training ground, where a group of young Yakuza swung katanas and shouted as they battled holographic projections on the floor.
Gu He followed closely behind Ayane Kumiko, terrified that a single wrong step might get him hacked to pieces.
But Ayane Kumiko clearly held a respected status here. Both the doormen and receptionists offered slight bows when they saw her. Before becoming a middleman, she had definitely been a high-ranking Yakuza.
"Miss Ayane, the president and the others are waiting upstairs." A man in a black suit led the two of them into the elevator.
These Yakuza didn't have the bulging physiques of the Game Gang's muscleheads, but they carried a cold, ruthless aura that Brother Zhuang and his crew could never achieve, no matter how much muscle they built or how much ink they got.
They took the rumbling old elevator to the top floor—the 23rd—before heading toward the president's office.
Solemn guards and rows of indoor bamboo lined the hallways.
Soon, Gu He followed her into the president's office. The space was massive, with marble floors and a wall made entirely of television screens.
