Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ito Takuma.
âFrom the looks of it, it seems youâre here to stand up for them.â
âYou hit my people, so I naturally have to stand up for them.â
Originally, Ito Takuma and Yoshikawa Taichi were waiting for Haruka Taro to send Shoko Nakajima over.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Ito Takuma received news that his people had been beaten up. He hurriedly put on his clothes and came over to see what was going on.
He did not expect the situation at the scene to be so horrible.
If this matter was not handled properly, it would have a huge impact on the familyâs reputation.
âAlright, send the two bodyguards behind you out.â
Ito Takuma shook his head with a disdainful smile.
âWhat kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I will fight with you?â
Ito Takuma had just finished speaking when one of the bodyguards took out a gun and aimed it at Lin Yiâs head.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the casino became solemn.
Most of the people here were ordinary people. This was the first time they had seen this kind of thing, and they felt an instinctive fear.
Only then did they realize that the boss of the Chuyun Temple Hotel was more powerful than they had imagined.
Qiu Yukio and Ning Che looked at each other, and their expressions became serious.
Ito Takumaâs expression was arrogant, and his eyes were filled with disdain. âWerenât you quite arrogant just now? Why arenât you saying anything now? This is what allows me to look down on you, Huaxian.â
Lin Yi stood rooted to the ground with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps coming from the door.
Three men in casual clothes walked in.
âW-whatâs going on?â
Seeing the situation in the casino, the leader said in surprise.
The leader was Yushi Mitsuiâs driver and assistant, Kenji Takayama!
Ito Takumaâs pupils constricted when he saw Kenji Takayama enter.
This kan was a powerful figure in the Yamaguchi-gumi. In terms of influence, his family could not compare to the latterâs.
He did not expect him to come here today!
âMr. Takayama, I didnât expect you to be here. You should have called me in advance.â
âIâm here to deal with some personal matters. Itâs late and I was preparing to go back tomorrow. I thought Iâd hang out here, but you seem to be involved in an accident.â
âThese Huaxian people cheated on me. After I caught them, they even hit my men. I was about to teach them a lesson.â
Kenji Takayama snorted coldly. âThereâs actually such a thing? Then we really have to teach them a lesson. This is not a place for them to act arrogant!â âMr. Takayama!â
Shoko Nakajima exclaimed in surprise.
âMiss Nakajima, youâre here too?â
Ito Takuma was stunned.
âMr. Takayama, do you know each other?â
âOf course. I love Ms. Nakajimaâs performances. 1 often go to her shows to support her.â
âI see.â
Ito Takumaâs expression was complicated, but he did not say anything. âMiss Nakajima, whatâs going on? Why are you with these Huaxian people?â âTheyâre my friends. We came to Mount Huji to visit today.â Shoko Nakajima said.
âBut they framed us for cheating. Thatâs not the truth. They framed us. Mr. Takayama, I hope you can help me.â
Kenji Takayamaâs expression changed as he looked at Ito Takuma.
âIs what she said true?â
Ito Takumaâs expression was conflicted. In the end, he nodded reluctantly. âThis Huaxian was very arrogant, so 1 wanted to teach him a lesson!â âI understand now that you put it that way,â said Kenji Takayama seriously. âMiss Nakajima is my friend. In addition, this matter was originally your fault. Why donât we forget about it?â
âSince Mr. Takayama has spoken, Iâll give you face and not pursue this matter.â Takayama Kenji nodded in satisfaction.
âMiss Nakajima, the matter has been settled. Do you think this is okay?â
Shoko Nakajima bowed to Kenji Takayama.
âThank you, Mr. Takayama. Iâll invite you upstairs when you go to the cabaret again.â
âThank you, Ms. Nakajima.â
âMr. Lin, this matter has been settled. Letâs go.â Shoko Nakajima said gently. âWhy should we leave? Weâll have nothing to do if we go back,â Lin Yi said lightly.
âButâ¦â
Lin Yi didnât answer him. Instead, he looked at Ito Takuma and said.
âYou donât have to give anyone face. I just want to know how youâre going to handle this.â
Takuma Ito and Kenji Takayamaâs expressions changed.
Neither of them expected Lin Yi to say such a thing, and neither did Shoko Nakajima.
Only the people from his group saw this coming.
If Lin Yi left just like that, his name wouldnât be Lin Yi anymore.
He would go to great lengths for his friends, but in the face of enemies, he becomes an unstoppable force, crushing them ruthlessly like a relentless steamroller, leaving no room for their survival.
Ito Takumaâs expression was cold, and his voice was low.
âIâm not arguing with you out of respect for Mr. Takayama. Donât go too far.â
Lin Yi shrugged. âDidnât I tell you? You donât have to give anyone face.â
Ito Takuma looked at Kenji Takayama.
âMr. Takayama, Iâve already done as you said, but heâs too arrogant. I think I have to teach him a lesson.â
Kenji Takayama frowned. This was something he had not expected.
Originally, he thought that after cooperating with Shoko Nakajima to finish this show, the plan would move on to the next step.
He did not expect Lin Yi to be so arrogant and bold.
Kenji Takayamaâs brain was spinning rapidly. The situation in front of him was escalating very rapidly.
Ito really wanted to attack Lin Yi, but Lin Yi had no intention of leaving.
As an outsider, it was not good for him to interfere. If he acted again, he might give himself away.
Doing so would be unreasonable.
The group might even start to suspect his identity.
âThis is a private matter between the two of you. I wonât get involved. You can decide how you want to handle it.â
Kenji Takayama had already made up his mind. With Itoâs guts, he wouldnât dare to kill Lin Yi. At most, he would cripple him. This ending might be more beneficial to his side.
âMr. Takayama, Mr. Lin Yi is my friend. Please help him again.â Shoko Nakajima begged.
âIâve already interceded once for you. Since he doesnât want to leave, thereâs nothing 1 can do,â said Kenji Takayama coldly. He had no intention of helping anymore.
Shoko Nakajima was stunned, not understanding why he was doing this.
If something unexpected were to happen to Lin Yi, the original plan would indeed deviate from its course.
At the same time, Ito Takuma laughed.
âYou had a chance to get out of here, but you didnât cherish it. I hope you donât regret your decision just now.â
The corners of Lin Yiâs mouth curled up into a smile. Then, he pointed at his head and said in a low voice with a hint of mockery.
âTell your men to shoot here..â
