Princess Qinghe nodded at him, meeting Bai Ye's gaze without reservation, and a smile of unparalleled beauty graced her lips.
"If Mr. Bai is willing to act, then I will ensure that Country R develops as you wish!"
Tap, tap… Bai Ye's fingers lightly tapped the table, offering no immediate response. This delicate girl before him was, in a word, audacious.
He had always considered himself quite bold, his aspirations merely to bring Country R to its knees.
Yet, she dared to envision conquering Country R!
If I can make her completely submit to my will, wouldn't Country R then be my territory?
Expanding the ranch overseas??
Bai Ye's gaze narrowed slightly. This was something he had never considered before, but now, a flicker of interest stirred within him…
How could he make her willingly bow down to me?
Violent conquest? It didn't feel quite right… Possessing such grand ambition, yet willing to serve as a maid beside that fellow Houying, her capacity for forbearance was not simple.
Money? She wouldn't be lacking in that either, would she?
Beauty? The thought flashed and vanished. This was a woman devoid of emotion!
For a moment, Bai Ye found himself perplexed. All his life, others had schemed to understand his desires and preferences, all in vain.
Now he was beginning to understand that feeling, and he was facing an ordinary woman!
Tap, tap, tap…
Seeing Bai Ye remain silent, Princess Qinghe seemed to discern his thoughts. She smiled enchantingly and then stated directly:
"I like power!"
Bai Ye replied, "But… you don't like being controlled."
"Not entirely… As long as it is strong enough, isn't it impossible not to listen?" Princess Qinghe's delicate eyebrows arched slightly, her clear eyes carrying a hint of provocation.
"Does Mr. Bai lack confidence in this?"
Bai Ye's eyes twitched slightly. He had a nagging feeling that this serious-looking woman had a hidden meaning behind her words.
A moment later, the sound of his fingers tapping the table ceased.
"I don't understand politics, nor do I have the time or interest to get involved…" Bai Ye finally spoke.
Seeing Bai Ye concede, Princess Qinghe's eyes brightened. "You don't need to worry about any of that. You just need to appear when I need you."
"Especially… when the old guys invite those monsters to help!"
Bai Ye's eyebrows lifted slightly. "Oh? It seems you have a plan already?"
"Mmm~ Mr. Bai doesn't need to know this. You just need to keep an eye on me!" Princess Qinghe tilted her head and smiled faintly, her smile innocent and carefree.
"Isn't that so?"
"It seems to make sense…" Bai Ye nodded slowly.
As they spoke, Princess Qinghe picked up her chopsticks and served Bai Ye more food and meat. The two continued to talk and laugh.
The server passing by the private room heard their cheerful laughter and their expression shifted to one of envy. A celestial couple! Envy… I wish I could be in love too!!っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)
No one could have imagined that such a simple 'date' would be the beginning of a drastic change for Country R…
…
Outside the restaurant, bathed in the vibrant lights of the night, dusk had long since quietly descended. The city was illuminated everywhere.
In the hidden shadows of this lively, sleepless city, two underground forces surged like undercurrents.
In Shibuya Ward, western Tokyo, a certain building was surrounded by a convoy of identical cars. Below the building, bathed in dim light, rows of men in black stood tall and erect.
This was the headquarters of the notorious Japanese gang – the Yakuza.
Inside the building, in a spacious and luxurious office, the president, a middle-aged man in his fifties, sat comfortably in his executive chair, with seven or eight gang leaders respectfully awaiting him.
"This mission is quite substantial, one thousand people!" the president's words caused the faces of several leaders to change.
"So many people… that will create a considerable stir!"
"If it's what those people requested, then we needn't worry too much! We just hand the people over to them… they'll handle the rest anyway!"
"No! This time is different. We need to deliver someone personally to a specific location," the president lit a cigar.
The leaders were immediately surprised and began to discuss amongst themselves, but soon the president's voice cut off their chatter.
"If we can snatch the entire Kabukicho district from the Inagawa-kai tonight, then the risk is worth it!"
"Make the arrangements."
"Yes!"
…
On the other side, the Inagawa-kai, whose headquarters were in the central district, upon receiving news of the Yakuza's movements, immediately summoned their members to maintain strict vigilance!
Tokyo's Kabukicho, a paradise for men's dreams, burst into vibrant life as night fell. The streets and alleys, upstairs and downstairs, were filled with the graceful figures of alluring women.
At the entrance of the first district street.
"Brothers, for your happiness, our sisters have truly gone all out."
Two girls, their faces flushed, their small eyes darting around, taking in the sights of the red-light district. One of them was live-streaming on her phone.
The two were Bai Ye's little fans, Zheng Jiao and Xu Sisi.
At this moment, the live stream had over 100,000 viewers. Seeing the live broadcast from the red-light district, the viewers in the chat room were immediately filled with excitement.
【I'm a bit tired tonight…】
