Super Soldier in the City

Kawamoto Goroku had a very long dream. Although he only slept for a while, he was so tired at dawn that he couldn’t bear it anymore and finally fell asleep. In his dream, he saw himself become the crime boss of all of Japan, summoning the wind and rain, living an extremely lavish life, full of dominion and authority. He established his own gang, and the gang’s name was the same as his current small organization, called Yamaguchi Ryuo, which he envisioned as an even more formidable gang than the Yamaguchi Group.

The dream was extremely luxurious, an insatiable desire for power was overwhelming.

Before sleeping, he was attacked by mosquitoes; his exposed skin was bitten countless times. So, in the morning, he was awakened by the mosquito bites on his body.

Before he opened his eyes, the scenes from the dream were still in his mind. Kawamoto Goroku was thinking of yelling at his subordinates, how he could be so powerful, yet sleeping so uncomfortably. As soon as he opened his eyes, he remembered his current situation, being tied to a tree by a Huaxia man, hanging there to be fed to mosquitoes.

That was tolerable, but when Kawamoto Goroku moved his line of sight, he saw a scene that made his heart leap into his throat.

A group of people in black suits, mostly wearing black sunglasses, each one looked more like an underworld figure than he did, and they were collectively standing in front of that Huaxia man’s door. These people didn’t make a single sound, nor did they even move an inch; the scene was extremely quiet, like a group of sculptures.

Kawamoto Goroku opened his mouth. At this moment, he had forgotten about the itchiness, forgotten where he was. He was puzzled by who these people in black were and why they were silently standing in front of that Huaxia man’s door.

Their positions were also very deliberate. There was one person in the front, followed by five people, and then rows upon rows of others in black suits, all standing with their arms at their sides, not making any noise, even suppressing their breathing to an extremely low level.

Who on earth are these people? Kawamoto Goroku wanted to shout, to ask what these people were doing, how they could seem more like underworld figures than he was.

He dared not. His heart was thumping wildly. He was nervous and scared; the scene before him was too bizarre.

Could it be that these people were also here for revenge? As soon as this idea appeared, Kawamoto Goroku dismissed it. If these people were here for revenge, with such numbers, they would have rushed in already. Why would they be waiting here, standing still like fossils...

So, it couldn’t be for revenge, then... Kawamoto Goroku dared not think further. Last night, that Huaxia person had already instilled too much fear in him. A single ghost-like person had instantly dealt with his men; is this person even human?

Kawamoto Goroku awoke; he would rather still be asleep because the scene was too terrifying, too oppressive. He desperately closed his eyes, causing the muscles on his face to twitch in tension, but he couldn’t sleep at all. So, he only dared to secretly watch these people.

Fortunately, these people had their backs to him and hadn’t noticed Kawamoto Goroku was already awake.

Koboto Kobayashi chose not to disturb Li Yifei, waiting for him to wake up. This was a matter of attitude for him. Even if he controlled the entire Yamaguchi Group, it couldn’t compare to Li Yifei’s single word. In Koboto Kobayashi’s mind, Li Yifei was the true death-dealer, a truly ruthless character.

They were absolutely not on the same level; the difference between the two was as vast as heaven and earth, with a huge gap in rank. Koboto Kobayashi dared not display even a hint of arrogance or brazenness in front of Li Yifei.

Thus, he waited silently with his men here, many of whom had participated in the encirclement of Motoharu and had witnessed Li Yifei’s horror, naturally not daring to entertain any extra thoughts.

The Japanese, as a nation, possess various inferior traits, with a bloodline that submits to the strong. When facing a true strongman, they dare not even make a peep.

Not long after Koboto Kobayashi arrived, he began waiting at the door like this.

The Yamaguchi Group, being a professional underworld organization, displayed impeccable discipline. Hardly anyone made a move in secret, with everyone even watching each other closely. If someone moved, the others would immediately glare over.

They had been standing at the door for three hours. Though very tired, no one complained.

The more Kawamoto Goroku watched, the more alarmed he became. He couldn’t figure out what on earth was the identity of that Huaxia person, to make these people show such respect.

Until half an hour later, Li Yifei got up, awakened by Meng Xiaofei’s teasing. The little girl was tugging a lock of his hair, tickling him, and Li Yifei sneezed, waking up. Meng Xiaofei immediately rolled to the other side of the bed, giggling.

"Little girl..." Li Yifei sat up and patted Meng Xiaofei on the buttocks, causing her to yelp, but instead of pouncing back, she stood at the side of the bed, her face still wearing a bright smile, and said to Li Yifei, "Good morning, Brother Li!"

Li Yifei rubbed his face and said, "Good morning, my dearest sister."

The words brightened Meng Xiaofei’s mood even more; she wrinkled her little nose, realized something, and thought that the two of them were leaving today. Though she felt a small void in her heart, she quickly adjusted, happy to have had these days of solitude.

"Let’s wash up, have breakfast, and then head back," Meng Xiaofei said.

Li Yifei nodded, following Meng Xiaofei to freshen up. Once done, he did not cook breakfast but rather, wearing his pajamas, directly walked out of the room to the door.

As soon as Li Yifei appeared, the spirit of the Yamaguchi Group’s people lifted; they had finally waited for Li Yifei to come out.

Koboto Kobayashi took a deep breath, eyes filled with excitement, watching as Li Yifei slowly approached.

Li Yifei was satisfied with Koboto Kobayashi and the others’ performance, which proved Koboto Kobayashi to be a clever person. A clever person knows what to do at the right time.

Li Yifei walked over, opened the door, nodded to Koboto Kobayashi and the others, and said calmly, "Here you are."

Koboto Kobayashi quickly said, "Mr. Golden Eagle, sorry, we are late, please punish us."

As he spoke, the members of the Yamaguchi Group bowed their heads with him to apologize to Li Yifei.

Li Yifei smiled and said, "It’s not late; they are just small fry. I asked you to come to avoid trouble."

"Those people have been dealt with and are already captured," Koboto Kobayashi replied.

In the distance, Kawamoto Goroku’s heart was not just in his throat, but practically on his tongue. In his heart, he called out that this was indeed the case. These people were indeed waiting for that Huaxia person. However, he never dreamed that these people would have such respect for that Huaxia man, with actions more respectful than when they met his own father.

It was over. Kawamoto Goroku thought desperately that he had disrespected such a figure, even wanting to kill him and take his woman from him.

Li Yifei came out and said, "Just in time, reinforce Grandpa Yoshino’s warehouse next door in a while."

Employing the top-level people of the Yamaguchi Group to build a warehouse for an ordinary person was something Li Yifei could think of, and he himself saw nothing wrong with it.

Koboto Kobayashi was slightly taken aback, glanced to the side, then nodded in agreement and said, "No problem, we’ll get on it right away."

"There’s no rush, wait until the old man wakes up."

"Oh, okay."

While they were speaking, Li Yifei didn’t even look at Kawamoto Goroku, who was still tied to a tree in the distance. Just then, Grandpa Yoshino opened the door and came out. The old man had been awake for some time, but upon seeing a crowd of people in black crowding the doorway through the crack of the door, he hadn’t dared to come out.

Only when he saw Li Yifei talking with these people, and the men in black showing such respect to Li Yifei, did he relax, otherwise he had been ready to call the police at any moment.

"Grandpa Yoshino, I’ve asked them to tidy up your warehouse; see what needs to be done."

"Ah? Oh... no need, no need, I can do it myself."

Koboto Kobayashi quickly said on the side, "No worries, old gentleman. We’re free anyway, so we’ll help you out. It’ll be quick. Why are you all still standing there? Hurry up and fix the warehouse!"

With this shout, the members of the Yamaguchi Group immediately started to move, and in an instant, most of them rushed over. Those who remained were genuinely the upper echelons. They too wanted to show their capabilities, but they couldn’t compete with their subordinates for work, so after a moment of hesitation, they stayed behind.

Yoshino was quite puzzled, wondering who these people were, so he asked Li Yifei in a low voice, "Yifei, who are these people...?"

"The Yamaguchi Group. This is the new president of the Yamaguchi Group," Li Yifei replied.

"Oh... ah?" Yoshino was stunned.

It took quite a while for him to digest this news. A regular Japanese citizen like himself actually had the Yamaguchi Group’s boss and second-in-command... coming to help him build a warehouse.

This also reflected, from another perspective, what kind of existence Li Yifei was.

Kawamoto Goroku was thunderstruck. Being involved in the Underworld, he had named his own organization Yamaguchi Ryuo, dreaming of one day being like the Yamaguchi Group. Yet now, the boss of the Yamaguchi Group had come eagerly, taking orders from that Huaxia man.

He was in despair, knowing he had no hope.

Throughout this, Li Yifei never acknowledged him, simply explained things to Koboto Kobayashi, freeing himself from further concern. However, one could imagine that under Koboto Kobayashi’s particular care, the nearby fishing villages would likely remain peaceful for many years to come.

Li Yifei was invited by Yoshino to have breakfast at his home. He agreed and invited Koboto Kobayashi to come along too, but before he could say anything to the others, they all quickly shook their heads, saying they had already sent people to buy food; in simple terms, they were not qualified to eat with Li Yifei.

Li Yifei didn’t insist, turning around to head back home and call Meng Xiaofei to join him for breakfast at Yoshino’s house.

The old fisherman Yoshino had never been so proud in his life. The neighbors nearby only dared to peek from behind their doors before scurrying back home, afraid of affecting themselves, while he was being assisted by a group of Yamaguchi Group members to fix up his warehouse. The old man felt so honored that he drank an extra bowl of porridge at breakfast, laughing heartily the entire time.
