The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

Kato Takashi was enjoying his beautiful private time on the hotel's top floor, a genuine Cuban cigar in his mouth and a freshly opened bottle of cognac in his hand. Taking a puff of the pure Cuban cigar and sipping the expensive cognac was undoubtedly the most pleasant thing in life; nothing could be more delightful than this.

"President." A man in a white shirt and black suit walked in.

"What is it?" Kato Takashi rested his hand on the balcony railing of the top floor. The top floor balcony was lavishly arranged, with neon lights, large sofas, and a swimming pool, making it feel like paradise on earth.

"Li Wanshan said he wants to see you." The man in the black suit immediately said.

Kato Takashi was taken aback and said puzzled, "Isn't Li Wanshan at Fukuoka Fishery? Why is he seeking me out at this time?"

"Seems like it's something urgent," the suit-wearing man hurriedly replied.

"Then let him come up." Kato Takashi nodded.

"Yes!" the man in the suit nodded.

Soon, the man in the suit led Li Wanshan onto the top floor balcony. Li Wanshan was very respectful, his head slightly bowed, not daring to look directly at the naked women swimming in the pool.

"Mr. President." Li Wanshan started talking.

"You came to see me for something?" Kato Takashi asked.

"Indeed, there's something." Li Wanshan said, very unwillingly, "Fukuoka Fishery has changed owners, the Yoshino family has been driven out, and the Hundred Rivers Association has disbanded. So..."

"Hmm?" Kato Takashi was startled and said, "Such a big thing has happened in Fukuoka City recently and I didn't know?"

"Well..." Li Wanshan said very awkwardly, "This thing happened just within the last two days. Those below probably haven't had time to report it to you yet."

"Go ahead." Kato Takashi asked, "What's the matter that you've come to me for? Don't tell me the Hundred Rivers Association has disbanded?"

"No." Li Wanshan shook his head and said, "I wouldn't dare disturb you for such a thing. I just wanted to tell you that Fukuoka Fishery has changed owners, so we can't get much of a discount there."

"Then get the goods at the original price." Kato Takashi said with a dark expression, "You wouldn't come to bother me over such a thing, would you? You would really disappoint me then."

"No, no, no!" Li Wanshan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course I wouldn't bother you over this matter."

"Then what is it?" Kato Takashi pursued.

"It's... it's because the current owner of Fukuoka Fishery put out a word that we must take goods at three times the market price." Li Wanshan said with a wry smile, "If we take goods at three times the market price, wouldn't all our profits be washed away?"

Kato Takashi was taken aback and said, "Who dares to be so arrogant? On the territory of Fukuoka City, they dare to charge me, the Triad, three times the price. Are they crazy?"

"They... they are Jvyi Gang." Li Wanshan hurriedly said.

"Hmph." Kato Takashi sneered, "I don't care whether it's Jvyi Gang or some rubbish. Shino, tomorrow you take some people to talk to those Jvyi Gang people, and make the reasoning clear to them."

"Yes!" The man in the black suit immediately nodded.

Kato Takashi's words were already very polite, letting Shino go talk reason obviously meant letting Shino take some people to fix Jvyi Gang a bit, giving them a lesson.

"If they don't learn their lesson, then just go ahead and take over that broken fishery." Kato Takashi said disdainfully. Honestly, owning such a property as the Fuchuan Hotel, he indeed looked down on a small locale like Fukuoka Fishery. Therefore, he completely disregarded Jvyi Gang.

"Yes, President!" Shino immediately nodded.

Kato Takashi looked at his hotel, glittering brightly and packed full of people, and he was very satisfied inside. Actually, whether or not to keep that seafood processing factory was irrelevant, if the timing was right, giving it away to someone else didn't matter, but as for the honor of the Triad, he certainly couldn't back down. If Jvyi Gang merely wanted him to take goods at the market price, perhaps he would compromise, but Jvyi Gang actually wanted him to take goods at three times the market price, which was simply not taking the Triad seriously.

Hence, Kato Takashi must give the other party a harsh lesson. This lesson has nothing to do with money or profit. It's solely about the honor of the Triad.

In the following days, the fishery was peaceful, and Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao were almost madly catching up on learning Japanese every day. Luckily, Japanese wasn't difficult to learn, and they managed to handle daily conversations within a week. Among them, Lu Dapao was the most diligent and hardworking. This guy was almost blending in with the fishery staff every day, just to significantly improve his Japanese skills.

Lu Dapao was almost daily conversing with the staff in Japanese, so his progress was the fastest. Zhou Kai and the others still encountered some obstacles, occasionally unable to remember how to say something, always resorting to using Chinese instead.

"Damn it, has Lu Dapao progressed too fast?" Zhou Kai was somewhat jealous and resentful.

"Indeed." Huang Bo said, holding a cigarette, "Now he can communicate without obstruction. Although what he says is somewhat awkward, at least others can understand him, right?"

"Sigh, do you think his brain suddenly clicked?" Zhou Kai asked curiously.

"Haha." Huang Bo said disdainfully, "What do you mean by clicked, it's clearly for picking up Japanese chicks."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed loudly.

Early February, one evening.

The workers at the fishery had finished their shifts. Most of these workers lived at the fishery, where dormitories had been built. Six people to a room, with a whole building dedicated to it. Hundreds of workers lived there, including many female workers. At dinner time, you could smell the aroma of food coming from the workers' dormitory.

The dinner for Lin Chuan and his group was prepared by a few female workers, who were paid extra each month, much to their delight.

Even though these women were not particularly attractive, they were quite good at cooking Chinese food. Zhou Kai and his group were able to eat happily every day. They really couldn't get used to Japanese cuisine, finding it particularly unpalatable.

Just as Lin Chuan and his group were dining, suddenly, Huo Di rushed in holding his bowl.

"This is bad, this is bad." Huo Di shouted in panic.

"What happened?" Zhou Kai looked up at Huo Di, full of confusion and bewilderment.

"The Triad people... the Triad people are here." Huo Di quickly shouted.

"Ah?" Zhou Kai was taken aback and said, "Triad people? How many?"

"Several truckloads," Huo Di said frantically.

"Don't panic yet." Zhou Kai waved his hand and then said, "Huo Di, go and get everyone down here, and make sure they all bring their stuff."

"Got it!" Huo Di nodded immediately.

Huo Di ran out in a hurry, dropping his bowl of rice onto the ground.

"That guy, he really hasn't seen much of the world." Zhou Kai scoffed and said, "A few people can scare him like this; I really don't know how he managed in the past."

"Come on, let's go see what's going on." Lu Dapao quickly tossed his bowl aside and wiped his mouth.

Lin Chuan was already full and was resting on the side, holding a cigarette. The others then stood up one after another and went outside.

At this time, outside the gate of the fishery, there were lots of people. Four or five trucks loaded with a few hundred people, all from the Triad. These past few days, the Triad had been gathering manpower, intending to deal with Jvyi Gang. Shino decided to make a move on Jvyi Gang, planning to make an example. Not only to show the Triad's prowess, but also to let everyone know that the Triad isn't to be trifled with.

When the workers saw the Triad people coming, they quickly locked the gate.

Shino got out of the car, saw the gate was locked tight, and sneered: "Do you think hiding behind a gate can protect you? How naive is that?"

Beside him, Li Wanshan laughed and said, "Indeed, naive."

"Just like your Qing Dynasty in China, right? Closing yourself off, thinking you could make yourselves invulnerable?" Shino scoffed disdainfully.

"Exactly." Li Wanshan nodded.

"Get over here." Shino shouted.

"Boss." Several men immediately gathered around, smiling and asking, "What do you need, Boss?"

"Break down this gate for me." Shino ordered.

"Yes!" Several men nodded right away.

Then, they fetched some crowbars from the truck. The simplest method to break the gate was to pry the lock, which was also the most brutal method. As they were about to break the gate's lock with the crowbars, three to four hundred people rushed out from the fishery.

The men stopped in their tracks immediately, hastily putting away their crowbars.

Both sides faced each other with an iron gate separating them.

Huo Di stood at the front, and Li Wanshan sneered, "Huo Di, tell Lin Chuan and the others to come out quickly."

"You think I'm coming out just because you said so?" Huo Di, behind the tightly locked gate, did not pay any attention to the other side.

"Huo Di, you old fool, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?" Li Wanshan was instantly enraged. Usually, the fishery workers treated him with the utmost respect, but now they dared to be so defiant, making Li Wanshan lose his composure. He turned and looked at Shino, and said, "Shino-kun, why waste words with them, pry open the gate and go in directly."

Shino coldly stared at the other side and said, "Open the gate!"

"No!" Huo Di shook his head. In truth, he was also scared, but the fishery was tied to his own interests. Lin Chuan had said that the fishery did not belong to any one person or any organization but belonged to every person at the fishery. In other words, the interests of the fishery were the interests of everyone. Therefore, Huo Di was determined not to back down. How could they just give up the hard-earned fishery so easily?

"You dare defy my order?" Shino glared angrily at Huo Di.

"I'm not your subordinate." Huo Di sneered and said, "Why should I listen to you?"
