"She is indeed quite good at fighting." Gu Ran nodded slightly. Tang Shishi had received special agent training in Southeast Asia, so her skills were quite good.
But if we're really talking about who's the best, then Susie is the most impressive. Her muscles are stronger than many of the boys at Kassel College.
Come to think of it, he hadn't seen Susie for several months and wondered how she was doing.
She's graduating this year, as are Chu Zihang and Caesar.
Oh right, I almost forgot about Fingel. His internship is over this year, and he'll be graduating soon. He can't possibly stay in his tenth year of high school, can he?
While eating the braised pork rice ball made by Sakura and lost in thought, Gu Ran's satellite phone suddenly rang.
"Hi, my dear Mommy, good morning."
"Judging from your tone, you just woke up?" Zhang Qiong asked on the phone.
"Yes, I've been working day and night these past few days, I've been so busy."
"I saw the news yesterday about the terrorist attack on Tokyo Tower... Was it you who did it?"
“We were involved, but it was for the sake of maintaining world peace. We are not terrorists,” Gu Ran asked. “You called just to ask that?”
Zhang Qiong lowered her voice: "Xiaoqiang is worried about you, but she's too embarrassed to call you for fear of bothering you."
"Then tell her I'll go see her tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Zhang Qiong understood her son's meaning. "Can this be resolved tonight?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be it."
What if something unexpected happens?
“Japan will sink, and then I will lead you to escape Japan,” Gu Ran said. “That’s the worst possible outcome.”
"What would be the best ending?"
“Of course, everyone would be reunited with their families, and the bad guys would be disgraced and go to meet God,” Gu Ran laughed. “But such an ending might be too beautiful, and many people don’t believe that reality would be like that.”
"So I hope for a so-so ending, anyway... don't push yourself too hard," Zhang Qiong said.
"Okay." Gu Ran agreed, then added, "By the way, the Zhang family in Nanyang will also meet their end tonight. I've already prepared their methods of dying."
"Won't I die too easily?"
“Of course, I’ll make sure they die in fear,” Gu Ran said. “As a good son, of course I have to help my mom get revenge.”
"Very well, in that case, I will wait here for good news."
"Okay, I have something to do later, so I won't talk to Xiaoqiang for now. We'll talk tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful, I'll be waiting for you to come back."
"Okay!" Gu Ran hung up the phone.
Zhang Qiong was in a manor, lost in thought.
A little while later, he called Liu Yue: "Get me a car, I need to go to Tokyo..."

As night fell, the black convoy drove into the street where the host club in Takamagahara was located.
The entire street was sealed off by the Hebi-Hachi family tonight. All the shops closed early and did not accept customers. The Hebi-Hachi family also used their connections with the Metropolitan Police Department to set up traffic control on this street. People without a pass would be stopped.
However, closing the venue couldn't stump Su Enxi at all. She had the male escorts in the shop send text messages and make phone calls to all the customers, inviting them to the party that night.
The customers of the host club in Takamagahara are mostly socialites and elites from all walks of life in Japan. They don't care if you're involved in the underworld or not. If you don't let them in, they'll find someone to help them. From members of parliament to political figures at all levels, they can always find powerful connections.
The Metropolitan Police Department originally required a pass to close the road, so these people went through connections to get the pass, so the Sheqi Hachike's road closure was essentially a waste of time.
If the Snake Clan were to use force to disperse them, it would likely cause a significant public outcry.
Therefore, the Sheqi family could not continue to block the road, so they had no choice but to let these customers from Takamagahara in.
This is Su Enxi's method of fighting against the Snake Clan. As long as there are many people, the Snake Clan can't fight in front of everyone.
Fuma Kotaro looked at the female guests who had come into Takamagahara, his face darkening, but there was nothing he could do; he knew he couldn't beat Su Enxi.
In Su Enxi's words, those underworld figures from the Snake Clan are only fit to wield samurai swords; they're not worthy of playing mind games with her!
The Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up to the entrance of Takamagahara amidst the traffic jam. Fuma Kotaro rolled down the window, and Fingel immediately handed him a parking ticket.
"The Wind Demon Lord has arrived! We've been waiting for you for a long time. We even prepared a parking space for you, in case you were late and couldn't find a spot." Fingel greeted him with a smile, but his smile and voice were exactly like those of a treacherous eunuch serving the emperor.
Suppressing his anger, Kotaro Fuma maintained a smile and said thank you.
He had just stepped out of his Rolls-Royce when suddenly a figure fell from the sky and landed on the roof of his Rolls-Royce!
With a loud bang, everyone was drawn to the sound and saw a tall, handsome figure kneeling on the roof of the car, looking very much like the Terminator.
Fuma Kotaro frowned as he looked at him.
"I'm sorry, you blocked the road and I didn't have a pass, so I had to go to the roof. I didn't check the landing point before jumping, I'm really sorry."
As he spoke, Gu Ran first knocked on the driver's side window, then jumped down from the roof and gently patted Fuma Kotaro on the shoulder.
Fuma Kotaro was speechless, thinking to himself, "If you come in, do you think the Snake-Headed Hachi family will stop you? They're clearly just trying to smash my car."
How old are you, yet you act like a child!
"Hey, junior brother, you're here." Fingel went over and hugged Gu Ran. "You look really handsome today!"
"Right?" Gu Ran smiled.
He was wearing a black trench coat that covered his fanny pack, but the pistol at his waist was still clearly visible, as if it were intentional.
However, the guests won't be scared when they see guns, because the theme of the party in Takamagahara tonight is a yakuza party, and everyone is dressed up as yakuza.
Stepping into Takamagahara, the guests and staff were all dressed as gangsters. Some carried baseball bats, while others dressed up as blond-haired non-mainstream individuals, holding butterfly knives. It was clear that everyone had put a lot of effort into portraying themselves as thugs.
The walls around the stage were covered with 'wanted posters' for a criminal named Dark Crystal the Ripper, who had killed countless young girls. He was known to attack scantily clad girls, so women dressed conservatively were the safest.
But none of the women present tonight were dressed conservatively; they were all wearing miniskirts and high heels, alluring and sexy, as if tempting Dark Night Glass to commit crimes.
There's another game tonight: catch Dark Crystal, and you can win a prize of ten million yen.
The customers here are all women, and apart from male escorts, the only male customers are real gangsters.
Gu Ran strolled around the center of the dance floor, and soon several still-attractive young women came over to chat with him, asking if he was new and why they hadn't seen him before.
Gu Ran then realized he was in trouble. Was he going to be forced into prostitution as a gigolo? He absolutely didn't want to!
Fortunately, he noticed Su Enxi drinking with someone nearby, so he immediately went over to her and said, "I am the owner of this shop and I do not entertain customers."
Su Enxi turned around and saw Gu Ran, so she immediately handed him a glass of whiskey: "Hey kid, come on, have a drink as soon as you come in. You're a coward if you don't!"
Su Enxi, wearing high heels and about the same height as Gu Ran, put one arm around his shoulder and patted him hard.
Chapter 486 Everyone is an actor, only they are not playing themselves.
Gu Ran took the wine glass and said, "We can't just drink straight away, we have to play some games!"
As he spoke, he picked up a dice cup and said to Su Enxi, "Do you dare to play Liar's Dice?"
“Let’s play!”
Su Enxi is a pro at these drinking games!
Her Word of Power is divinely inspired; she can analyze various information based on a person's micro-expressions. No one can fool her, so there's nothing to be afraid of when playing this kind of game.
"You can't drink if you win, but I can drink one if I lose." Gu Ran knew she liked alcohol, and drinking was a reward for her, so he wouldn't let her drink.
"Heh, watch how I get you drunk!"
Back when Su Enxi was working at the casinos in Macau, many customers were robbed of all their underwear by her. Would a college student be afraid of her?
However, after only two rounds, she threw down the dice cup: "I'm not playing anymore! Damn it, you actually have special abilities like the God of Gamblers, able to see through the dice cup, what's the point of playing!"
Gu Ran gave her head a light tap, annoyed: "How old are you? Still swearing like that. Haven't had a drink in a long time and you're about to go on a drunken rampage?"
"You brat, how dare you hit me!" Su Enxi and Gu Ran had been playing around for a while when they realized that Fuma Kotaro had arrived. So, of course, she had to do her duty as a host and go to greet Fuma Kotaro.
Gu Ran accompanied her over. It has to be said that Su Enxi is a real social butterfly. As soon as she arrived at the VIP booth, she pretended to greet Fuma Kotaro intimately and then told him about the arrangements for the evening.
She had already prepared the 'Summer Moon Room' on the third floor as a place for the two brothers to reunite.
Fuma Kotaro said that it was not good to exclude him and the Sakurai family head. In his opinion, the head of the family should be within his sight so as to ensure Genji's safety.
"Who in this world can do anything to your emperor?" Su Enxi retorted.
Kotaro Fuma remained silent for a while, then finally sighed. He hadn't expected that Su Enxi also knew about the 'Emperor'. This proved that the secret that the Snake Clan had been guarding for so many years was known to many forces outside.
"Don't be so reserved!" Su Enxi patted Fuma Kotaro's shoulder forcefully. "This is a nightclub, a place where you drink until you drop. Everyone's drinking, so why shouldn't we? It's a pity I don't have any decent women in my club. If you don't mind, I can keep you company... And there's the Sakurai family head sitting over there. If you need a handsome guy, you can find him too. How about this one?"
Su Enxi pulled Gu Ran's hand and pushed him to sit down next to Sakurai Nanami.
"Hi, Ms. Sakurai, please accept my condolences." Gu Ran poured a glass of wine and handed it to Sakurai Nanami. "Ryoma Genichiro-senpai successfully thwarted the Dark Organization's plot to awaken 'God.' He is a role model for me. Let's drink to him!"
Ryoma Genichiro had studied at Kassel College and also served as the head of the executive branch in Japan. He and Gu Ran were indeed classmates, one senior and the other junior.
Sakurai Nanami forced a smile and drank a glass with Gu Ran.
Fuma Kotaro asked Su Enxi, "Su-san, I want to know, did you come to Japan hoping to liberate God, or to bury it?"
“I came to Japan to send God to hell; that’s not something this world should have,” Su Enxi said with a smile. “So at this moment, we are still friends.”
"Very good, for that one sentence, I'd like to drink to you." Fuma Kotaro raised his glass.
"Cheers!" Su Enxi happily finished her drink; it had been a long time since she had been able to drink under the guise of official business!
After she finished her drink, she came over to invite Sakurai Nanami to have a drink with her as well.
Meanwhile, Kotaro Fuma took out his phone and dialed Genji's number: "Defense secured, patriarch, you can come in now."
The voice on the other end of the phone was Crow: "Okay, keep things under control, the headmaster has come in."
In fact, Genjiro had entered the dance floor quite early.
He disguised himself as Kotaro Fuma's driver, which should have been done without anyone noticing.
But Gu Ran had deliberately knocked on the car window earlier, seemingly seeing through his disguise, but he didn't expose him.
He didn't suspect Gu Ran of any ill intent, because if he did, Gu Ran would have had many opportunities to kill him.
To some extent, they should be able to be friends; the only disagreement now is with Genji.
Thinking that he would be able to meet his younger brother in a dozen minutes, Genjiro felt very calm.
