Dragon Raja: Starting with Deadpool, Evolving Through Devouring

“Then if I told you about his other identity, you’ve definitely heard of it.”

"Who?"

"Yuan Zhinu, Yuan Zhisheng's younger brother."

Such explosive inside information made Mai Shude turn her head to stare at Su Enxi, until the latter blushed and explained somewhat embarrassedly:

"Actually, this information was given to me by the boss. When I first saw it, I was even more shocked than you are now!"

Moreover, there's much more information about Kazama Ruri than what's already mentioned; there's even more explosive information to come.

"Is there any news even more explosive than the young master of the Yuan family becoming a male escort?" Mai Shude was a little incredulous.

As the two were talking, the stage lights suddenly went out, and a high platform rose up on the stage that was already above the dance floor. Light descended from the sky and enveloped the burly figure on the platform. He held the high microphone in both hands, like Lu Bu wielding a halberd.

"Angels! Are you happy tonight?" the guy roared in a rock star pose.

The guests below responded by waving their hands.

"Did our flower arrangement make you feel the warmth of Eden?"

The male prostitutes also stood up and applauded the man high in the sky, clearly indicating that his appearance foreshadowed the climax of the night.

Mai Shude's eyes twitched slightly, unable to bear the sight, and she asked through gritted teeth in a low voice, "Who is this idiot?"

"This idiot is the owner of this 'Takamagahara' restaurant. We have a business deal to discuss with him later."

To be fair, Su Enxi completely agrees with Long Legs' assessment of the store manager, Humpback Whale.

Chapter 76 Takamagahara Changes Hands

Doors painted with blue mimosa flowers opened one after another, each flanked by a tall, burly bodyguard in black.

However, Mai Shude observed that most of these people were just "showpieces," and that she could sweep from the first floor to the fourth floor like Bruce Lee in "Game of Death" in just ten minutes.

The host club in Takamagahara is located in a rather magnificent four-story building.

The first floor houses the stage and public dance floor, a place for grand performances and for female guests to freely express themselves.

The second floor houses a spa and beauty salon, where male escorts also need to maintain a refined appearance.

The third floor houses a kaiseki restaurant and teahouse called "Fujitsubo," where established male hosts who have made a name for themselves in Takamagahara can have their own suites.

The last four floors are an absolute forbidden zone in Takamagahara; only those permitted by the shopkeeper can set foot here.

In addition, the fourth floor of Takamagahara has another nickname: "The Sea".

Giant whales should, of course, swim freely in the ocean, so this entire floor is actually the manager's residence.

After Su Enxi and Jiu De Mai stepped into this place, only the two "mermaids" remained in the sea.

"I don't quite understand what kind of business you could discuss with a host club owner?" Mai Shude casually found a seat and sat down, her long legs under her black leather skirt brazenly draped over the table. "Or are you perhaps interested in buying out a host?"

The news that Kazama Ruri, also known as Genji, is working as a male escort here is indeed astonishing.

But frankly, it's not that complicated. Maybe it's just a peculiar habit of theirs.

Moreover, she hadn't forgotten the "boss's" instructions before they came to Japan: to keep track of Cao Han's whereabouts and information as much as possible.

"You don't actually think that kind of muscular guy who could easily defeat a second-generation dragon would like to come to a host club, do you?"

"Of course not."

Before choosing Takamagahara, Su Enxi had given it a lot of thought: how could she gather intelligence without exposing herself?

That is to cross-reference information, or to reveal it unintentionally.

Female guests in a drunken state are very likely to be unguarded against male escorts, and gossipy female guests are natural information gatherers.

Another major reason is that the purchase of Takamagahara was at the "boss's" private behest, and as an employee, she had no choice but to comply.

Su Enxi looked at herself in the reflection of the glass and embarrassedly corrected her crooked pose.

This whole host club thing is really interesting. Even someone like her, who always seems indifferent to everything and exudes an air of authority, has revealed her true colors.

"Are you two guests satisfied with the hospitality tonight?" the humpback whale asked respectfully as he entered.

"I wouldn't call it satisfactory, but it's definitely an eye-opener! I never imagined that the host club industry in Japan could be so successful." Su Enxi exclaimed in amazement.

"It's not the host club industry that's thriving, it's our Takamagahara! Takamagahara is unique in all of Tokyo!" The humpback whale said with pride.

"What's the difference? Women come to host clubs to spend money on handsome men's time, don't they?"

You can drink with them, flirt with them, touch their muscular physiques, and if you're satisfied, you can even play cards or something.

I'm a woman, okay? How could I not know what women are thinking?

As long as a male escort is attractive enough, he can succeed anywhere!

The humpback whale hesitated for a few seconds: "Aesthetic appreciation of men is like aesthetic appreciation of red wine; it improves gradually."

It begins with physical attraction, but lasts with the soul! The ultimate erotic experience has nothing to do with lust, but simply the thrill of being together.

“I can tell, Chips, he’s implying that your standards for men are too low,” Mai Shude added at the opportune moment.

"What?! My standards for men are low? I'm low-class? I'm high-class...!"

“Women whose romantic history is a blank slate will inevitably become quieter and quieter when talking about this kind of topic.” Mai Shude patted Su Enxi’s dark face. “Just like I was sincere with all my more than 130 exes.”

"Hmph, you scumbag woman!"

"How dare you mock my taste in men? Looks like I need to give you a little 'sweetness'." Su Enxi glared fiercely at the humpback whale.

However, being Japanese, the humpback whale couldn't understand the profoundness of Chinese and genuinely thought Su Enxi was going to give him something like a dessert, so it repeatedly waved its hands away.

"No, no, no~ I'm currently trying to control my weight, so it's not suitable for me to eat sweets."

This nonsensical response made Su Enxi lose interest in the conversation. She took out an unfilled check and handed it to the humpback whale: "I investigated before I came. Your Takamagahara is losing money every year. You even borrowed money from loan sharks to keep this nightclub going."

Now I'm giving you a chance. Fill in a number here, and if the number you fill in satisfies me, I'll buy your nightclub.

The humpback whale was momentarily speechless.

He should be the one standing, but the girl sitting down gives off a condescending and menacing feeling, as if she is telling you without any attempt to hide that you are a lamb to the slaughter on the chopping block, with no possibility of refusal!

As the other party said, Takamagahara, which seems to be flourishing, is actually like a raging fire that will eventually burn itself out.

After much deliberation, under the pressure of the other party's astonishing aura, he dared not ask for too much. He carefully filled in a number that he felt was appropriate and handed the check back to Su Enxi.

Su Enxi glanced at the check without saying a word, simply adding a zero to the end of the check before handing it back to the humpback whale.

"She's quite honest," said Mai Shude with a smile.

With things progressing so smoothly, she knew she wouldn't have a chance to use her skills tonight.

From that moment on, Tokyo's most famous host club, "Takamagahara," took on a different surname.

"On the surface, this nightclub will still be under your management. Our existence must not be mentioned to anyone else, understand?"

"understand!"

Although his identity has changed from owner to store manager, humpback whales are willing to accept it as long as they can continue to run the business they love.

"And then there's intelligence gathering. You need to arrange for your male escorts to report any valuable information they hear to you, and then you summarize it for me, understand?"

Especially regarding Kazama Ruri, I need to know every single detail!

"understand!"

Now, as long as Su Enxi doesn't make any requests that violate her principles, the humpback whale will agree without hesitation.

As for the specific identities of the two female bosses, and their motives for collecting this intelligence...

The main reason his great-grandfather lived to be a hundred was that he didn't meddle in other people's business.

Intelligence gathering is not something that can be done overnight; buying "Takamagahara" was more like planting a "stub" in Japan in advance.

Chapter 77 Tachibana Masamune's "Father" Persona

The Ju family residence.

Genjiro returned to Tokyo from Osaka under the starlight and only rested for two or three hours. The next morning, he left the deserted Genji residence and went straight to the Tachibana residence.

The light footsteps still creaked on the wooden floor.

It's perfectly understandable that a shogun's residence from the Edo period, which has survived to this day, might have some minor flaws.

After passing through a series of doors painted with various Japanese styles, Genji finally met Tachibana Masamune:

"Dad."

"You're back~ How's life at headquarters?"

"It's not bad. I've learned a lot, and Principal Angers has taken good care of me."

The scene was as heartwarming as an elderly father who had stayed in his hometown welcoming his son back from studying abroad.

"Have you visited your sister since you came back?"

"What's wrong with Erii?" This was when Genji's emotions were at their most volatile.

"Don't worry, it's the same old problem. He just keeps threatening to run away from home every now and then." Tachibana Masamune smiled kindly.

"That's good. I'll go over there as soon as I leave and bring her the gift with me."

Tachibana Masamune nodded, poured a cup of tea for the former, and then casually asked, "What is the mission of the headquarters specialist in Japan this time? Is there anything our branch can help with?"

Beneath his calm and collected exterior lay a deep concern for this matter.

His plan was proceeding smoothly, and his biggest worry was that someone would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Yuan Zhisheng hesitated. He was well aware of the rules of the Execution Department: Execution specialists were not allowed to disclose the details of their missions to others.

Cao Han and the others did not shy away from discussing the mission details with him, which showed their trust in him.

If he told his father about the mission, he would be betraying the trust his father placed in him.

In the end, all they could give was a vague answer to brush it off: "They're here to investigate mixed-race people."

"The Ghost Clan has become increasingly powerful in the last two years, which has been driving me crazy. Now that you're back to help me, I can finally relax."

Unable to get any more specific details, Tachibana Masamune changed the subject, bringing up the "Demon Clan," the archenemy of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but frown.
