Dragon Raja 3; Chapter 306: Tokyo Love Story (2)

Dragon Raja 3

Shio was puzzled. Thugs like these were undisciplined and careless. Even a police raid wouldn’t have made them this anxious. What could possibly have dragged these unruly drunkards out of the nightclubs in half a minute?

He pulled out his phone and opened the newly received MMS: “Urgent message from the main house: A 1 billion yen reward for information on the woman in the photo. Anyone who harms her will be placed on the family’s revenge list.”

The attached photo showed a red-haired, red-eyed girl, stunningly beautiful, though her eyes seemed hazy.

“The family lost something this important!” Shio understood now.

Shio belonged to the Miyamoto family, a branch of the Yamata no Orochi. He was a civilian official specializing in meteorological monitoring. The family had arranged for him to work at the meteorological bureau to gain access to its technical resources, which was why his number was on the family’s mass distribution list.

What mobilized those thugs was the 1 billion yen reward—the highest bounty in the family’s history, sent via MMS to tens of thousands of people. This bounty system was more effective than a police manhunt. Tonight, every yakuza member in Tokyo would stay up all night, scouring the city in search of the girl in the photo.

At that moment, Lu Mingfei was enjoying a hotpot. The pot was filled with slices of fatty beef, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, radish, cabbage, and green onions, releasing a mouthwatering aroma.

If he knew that tens of thousands of people in the city were searching for him, he certainly wouldn’t be eating hotpot so leisurely. But he didn’t know. A few minutes earlier, the rainstorm had suddenly arrived. In such stormy weather, enjoying a hotpot indoors, with a stunning girl in pajamas sitting across from him, and a bottle of premium Black Dragon sake—what a night to indulge in warm desires. Neither of them spoke, and their chopsticks moved swiftly, devouring the food as if it were a whirlwind.

The Black Dragon sake was crisp and rich, and before he realized it, Lu Mingfei was already feeling a bit tipsy. The delivery driver had given him the bottle of sake when he ordered the hotpot as part of a promotion. The special beef hotpot set cost only 12,000 yen, but the bottle of Black Dragon sake alone was worth around 100,000 yen. If Lu Mingfei had known about this price difference, he might have realized the gift was suspicious, but he didn’t, so he drank happily.

Ignorance always brings joy. As the alcohol took effect, he found himself less afraid of Erii. After drinking, Erii’s pale face had taken on a slight blush, making her even more beautiful.

In the room, the only sounds were the bubbling of the hotpot and Lu Mingfei’s slurping. After spending so much time with Erii, he had gotten used to this silent form of communication. They both wrote on small notebooks to talk, because if only one person spoke in the room, it would feel eerily quiet.

On the rooftop of the capsule hotel across the street, a shadow pressed the shutter. With a “click,” Lu Mingfei, Erii, and the hotpot were frozen in a photograph, which was then sent through the internet.

“The boss’s choice of bride for that loser is pretty stunning,” Su Enxi commented as she looked at the photos just sent by the frontline photographer. “She’s no less beautiful than Chen Motong, though her outfit is a bit plain.”

“The bride is gorgeous, but so far, she hasn’t fallen for the groom. The groom is still afraid of her, and both of these idiots are focused on the beef hotpot,” Mai said. “Don’t you think we’re like panda keepers at a conservation center?”

“What do you mean?”

“Artificially raised pandas are particularly hard to get interested in the opposite sex, but they’re endangered, so the keepers have a major responsibility to get them to mate. They go to great lengths to find mates for the pandas, lock them in the same cage, and try to spark interest in each other. They’ve even tried showing them videos of other pandas mating. But often, the female panda just ends up beating up the male panda over the bamboo. Now we’re the keepers, and these two are the male and female pandas.”

“We’ve already snatched a beautiful girl for him; all he has to do is act like an animal. How hard is that?”

“The boss’s orders were to match Uesugi Erii with Lu Mingfei. It wasn’t just about taking her from the Yamata no Orochi. Besides, weren’t you the one who stirred things up, joking about sending another girl to Lu Mingfei?”

“How was I supposed to know? I was just kidding around. Who knew the boss would take it seriously and specifically ask for Uesugi Erii? Damn it, why didn’t he ask for that Moroccan princess, Charlotte?”

“Are you talking about the model princess we saw at the Gucci launch? She’s already taken. I think she’s engaged to some European duke.”

“Are these really the kinds of issues the boss would care about? As long as he sets his eyes on a woman, he’ll give the order for us to bring her to Lu Mingfei, no matter how far away she is!” Su Enxi said. “But this yakuza princess won’t be any easier to deal with than the Moroccan princess.”

“No, no, the Moroccan princess would actually be easier. At least she’s a normal human being. But right now, our male panda and female panda show no signs of being in heat—they’re just seriously chewing bamboo.”

“Feelings develop over time. They’ve only just met. If they got that intimate this quickly, wouldn’t it be a bit too scandalous?”

“We can’t wait for feelings to develop over time. Starting tonight, there are at least 400,000 people in Tokyo searching for Uesugi Erii, and they won’t stop until they find her. Today, they stayed indoors, but what about tomorrow or the day after? Are they supposed to stay cooped up in that love hotel until they end up with a baby?”

“How many days would it take you to hook up with a girl?” Su Enxi asked, sensing the challenge.

“You’re forgetting that you’re talking to a weirdo with zero romantic experience. For a girl to accept a guy, all it takes is a moment of emotional connection. When that moment comes, everything will fall into place. But waiting for that moment? For Caesar, it might only take a day; for Lu Mingfei, it could take a lifetime.”

“Damn it! What gives you the right to talk like you’re an expert? You don’t have a boyfriend either!”

“At least I’ve got plenty of guys chasing me, while all you do is snap pictures of TI$哥 at parties and send them to me on WeChat.”

“Hey! Don’t hit below the belt! What should we do now?”
