The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

The crowd, upon hearing this, seemed to think it made sense.

............

In the office.

Lin Chuan and Zhou Kai were gathered together.

"Brother Chuan, how do you plan to deal with these people?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Tomorrow we will personally pay a visit to the Triad to meet the legendary Kato Takashi," Lin Chuan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "With so many of Kato Takashi's men in my hands, he should pay some price, shouldn't he? They've troubled me time and again, this time it's my turn to cause trouble for him."

"Right." Lu Dapao nodded and said, "Kato Takashi is not a good guy by any means, sooner or later we have to face him directly."

"Exactly!" everyone nodded.

Zhou Kai, with a cigarette in his mouth, asked, "Though that's the case, but after all, this is Kato Takashi's territory."

"So what if it's Kato Takashi's territory?" Lin Chuan said dismissively.

"This..." Zhou Kai didn't know what to say. He had specifically researched Kato Takashi and the Triad online. Their strength was indeed formidable, rumored to have five to six hundred people. Moreover, the Triad was involved in all kinds of activities, from murder and arson to smuggling arms... as long as it made money, they would stop at nothing, especially when it came to high-profit ventures like casinos, drug trafficking, and forced prostitution...

Lin Chuan had already made up his mind to have a proper talk with the Triad, if negotiation failed, then war would ensue. Jvyi Gang now was not what it used to be. Therefore, Lin Chuan was not afraid of the Triad at all. The Triad was indeed a powerful gang, but it was only so in the southeastern part of Japan. Though Fukuoka was their territory too, even if he lost, at least there were routes to retreat to the north like Kobe, Capital City, Otsu... giving Lin Chuan confidence without a hint of panic.

Profits are often proportional to the risks.

............

The next day, at Fuchuan Hotel.

At the entrance of Fuchuan Hotel, security stopped a shabbily dressed, filthy man.

"Let me in, I need to see the president, I need to see the president," the man shouted.

"Get lost!" Several security guards threw the crazed man out. To them, he was simply a madman, a lunatic. Dressed in such a disorderly manner, he dared to think of entering the finest hotel in Fukuoka.

Fuchuan Hotel was the best hotel in Fukuoka, also the second largest casino. Every day, many neatly dressed people were accompanied by assistants or secretaries to gamble inside, clearly for entertainment purposes.

Moreover, Fuchuan Hotel had a very clear rule: entry in untidy clothing was prohibited. This fellow was not only in disarray but also shabby, with shoes so grimy their color was unrecognizable, just a pair of black, ramshackle sneakers.

"Let me in, Shino and the others were captured by Lin Chuan, I must inform the president." The man frantically tried to rush inside.

"Get out!" Several security guards shoved him harshly.

At this point, the security captain became a bit impatient, pulling out his baton and threatening, "Kid, don't test my patience, or I'll make sure you die a horrible death."

The man immediately quieted down. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to deliver the message to Kato Takashi today. With a helpless smile, he said, "You'll regret it, President Kato Takashi will definitely settle accounts with you. Hahaha..."

Saying this, the man turned and left, laughing loudly as he walked away.

Several security guards looked back at the man's retreating figure contemptuously, saying, "A lunatic, talking raving nonsense."

On the top floor of Fuchuan Hotel, in Kato Takashi's office.

"It's strange, why haven't we heard from Shino and Li Wanshan?" Kato Takashi suddenly remembered he had sent Shino and Li Wanshan to deal with Jvyi Gang a few days ago, yet there had been no news.

His assistant hurriedly said, "President, it seems that Shino encountered some setbacks during negotiations with Jvyi Gang yesterday, and the other side burned over a dozen of our men with gasoline. Those men are still lying in the hospital. Probably Shino is figuring out a way to deal with them now. We should have news by tonight or tomorrow morning."

"Is that so?" Kato Takashi looked at the assistant in confusion.

"Yes!" The assistant nodded, "Shino did indeed underestimate them last night, resulting in the injuries of over a dozen men. However, with Shino's capability, he will surely handle Jvyi Gang. Besides, they're just a gang temporarily assembled by a few Chinese, nothing significant."

"Okay." Kato Takashi nodded, then smiled, "That's good."

Kato Takashi had great confidence in Shino. Shino was quite capable, and he always handled things personally. Therefore, Kato Takashi often relied on Shino to manage affairs. Given his age, Kato Takashi needed to groom a successor, someone to hand over his enterprises to when he retired. As of now, Shino was his most satisfactory candidate for a successor.

Little did Kato Takashi know that his most satisfactory successor was currently trapped in someone else's prison, desperately hoping for Kato Takashi to come to his rescue.

Fuchuan Hotel.

Nighttime was the most happening time; the first to third floors were all casinos. The first floor was a casual casino, featuring slot machines, baccarat, Pai Gow... various forms of gambling accessible to the masses spread across the entire floor. The second and third floors were reserved for VIP rooms. Only those who had reached a certain social level were eligible to enter the second and third floors; otherwise, they were absolutely prohibited from entry.

At night, the first floor was the busiest and liveliest.

The liveliness made it feel as if this place never slept. The opulence was dazzling, with the ceiling on the first floor reaching as high as five or six meters in the lower areas and seven or eight, even ten meters in the higher areas. Various sizes of crystal chandeliers were suspended, creating a dazzling display.

In the casino, time seemed to cease to exist, and there were no clocks or any devices to remind people of the time.

Every day in the casino, there were those who gambled with bloodshot eyes, staking almost all their belongings and wealth. Many left empty-handed overnight. Of course, there were also a few who struck it rich overnight.

Every day, people cried and shouted at the casino entrance, being thrown out by security. Meanwhile, those who won generously handed money to the guards in excitement as a sign of gratitude.

It was around nine in the evening.

Suddenly, an Odyssey minivan slowly came to a halt at the hotel entrance. Lin Chuan and his group alighted from the vehicle. There were five of them. The five of them looked up at the luxurious hotel, where huge, opulent letters spelled out above the entrance: Fuchuan Hotel.

"Brother Chuan, this hotel is pretty nice," Zhou Kai said excitedly.

"Yeah," Lin Chuan nodded and said, "This hotel is indeed nice, and it even has a casino inside. It has the grandeur of the Macau Pujing Hotel."

"Have you been to Macau, Brother Chuan?" Lu Dapao asked.

"Of course!" Lin Chuan nodded.

"Fuchuan Hotel?" Huang Bo studied seriously, saying, "Brother Chuan, once we take over this hotel, it should be renamed Chuanfu Hotel. The Chuan must come first, just like the Sichuan University Group!"

"Hahaha..." The group burst into laughter.

The security guard at the entrance looked at them suspiciously, finding them somewhat unusual. Instead of rushing inside, they stood at the entrance observing and laughing. Typically, those coming here to gamble hurried as if in a rush, eager to start. Yet these people seemed unhurried, not at all like gamblers.

"Stop!"

Just as Lin Chuan and his group were about to enter, the security guard immediately blocked their way.

"What do you want?" Lu Dapao's eyes widened, emitting a fierce aura.

Indeed, Lu Dapao's menacing aura was palpable. Even in anger, he seemed genuinely intimidating. The security guards were terrified, seeing Lu Dapao's wide eyes and uncontrolled anger.

The security guards showed a look of terror in their eyes: "What do you want?!"

"Damn, we're here to have fun, what's it to you if you block our way?!" Lu Dapao glared at them.

"You need to go through a security check!" The guard hurriedly held up the security scanner, timidly eyeing them. Although he hadn't engaged with them, he already sensed their formidable presence, making him fearful.

"Okay, fine." Lu Dapao nodded.

Beep beep beep...

However, as the scanner swept over them, it immediately emitted alarms.

"Are you carrying weapons?" the guard asked.

Swish!

Lu Dapao immediately drew a steel knife from his body, grinning, "This!"

Gasp...

The security guards stepped back a few paces, afraid that he might slash down in an instant, which frightened them. Lu Dapao's mouth twisted into a sinister smile as he coldly said, "You cowardly bastards, a single knife scares you this much. It seems the Triad is nothing special."

"You have to leave the weapons here; we'll return them when you leave," the security guard said in a panic.

"Go inform Kato Takashi, we are here to see him," Lin Chuan interjected.

"Is the president someone you can just see?" Another security guard said defiantly, "I'm telling you, leave now, or we'll call for backup."

"Are you sure?" Lin Chuan asked in reply.

"What do you want?" the security guard shouted.

"We are from the Jvyi Gang, and we have Shino from the Triad with us," Lin Chuan said carelessly, "If you let us go now, we will leave."

"What!" The guard was stunned, knowing Shino held a high position in the Triad and was recognized by all security. Typically, Shino handled and resolved Triad affairs. Now, they claimed Shino was in their hands. The guard suddenly recalled that the crazed man from earlier had mentioned seeking President Kato Takashi, seemingly about this matter.
