The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 19, it's mine now!
Li Xingzhou led Mariko to a private room, opened a bottle of fine wine, and drank with her.

After drinking half a bottle of wine, Mariko's cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkled. Under Li Xingzhou's natural guidance, she gradually became more talkative.

"Ms. Yashida, are you here in New York for tourism?"

“Please call me Mariko. I will be studying at Imperial University this fall semester, so I’m taking advantage of the summer to get familiar with New York and Imperial University beforehand—well, these are all excuses, I just want to escape.”

"Escape? Escape from what?"

“I’m trying to escape…marriage. My father has arranged a fiancé for me that I neither like nor know, simply because he’s a high-ranking official in the Department of Justice and is a potential successor to the position of Attorney General…ha, he’s not even as tall as me…”

Mariko chuckled, looking at Li Xingzhou with an amused, drunken expression, and her words became bolder and more direct:
"In terms of looks, demeanor, and temperament, you, Mr. Victor, have completely trampled me in the mud..."

“You can also call me Li Ang,” Li Xingzhou said with a smile.

“Li Ang… if my fiancé were a great man like you, I would gladly accept even an arranged marriage. Unfortunately, he isn’t…”

Mariko suddenly tilted her long, slender neck back and drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp.

Then she slammed her wine glass down on the table, abruptly stood up, walked around the table, came to Li Xingzhou, hesitated only briefly, then sat directly on his lap, one hand on his chest, the other pulling up his tie, bringing her blushing, beautiful face close to his, until her cherry-red lips were about to touch his, before softly asking:
“Li Ang, a handsome, elegant, yet ruthless gentleman thug… Will you stay with me tonight? I want to experience what it feels like to be conquered…”

Her sparkling, yet slightly drunken eyes stared directly into Li Xingzhou's eyes. Her voice was trembling and unsteady, revealing that even under the influence of alcohol and with the urge to break rules and taboos, a hint of shyness and unease still lingered deep within her.

Li Xingzhou smiled leisurely, placing his hands on her slender waist, feeling the trembling of her skin in his palms, and soothing her uneasy heart with his soft, magnetic voice:

"Of course, it would be my honor to serve such a beautiful lady as you..."

As he spoke, he gently kissed those soft lips that were so close to his.

……

It was late at night, and the heavy rain was still falling.

The manager's office on the second floor of the nightclub.

Trench coat, shirt, petticoat...

From the inside out, from the large to the small, all kinds of clothes were scattered all over the floor, stretching from the office doorway all the way into the bedroom.

With a soft sob that sounded like a whimper, the bedroom gradually fell silent.

Li Xingzhou lay comfortably on the bed, holding Mariko, who was barely breathing, with her eyes slightly closed and trembling slightly, in his arms.

The only clothing the two of them were wearing was flesh-colored stockings on Mariko's supermodel-like long legs.

Li Xingzhou gently stroked Mariko's snow-white, silky back. His burning palm seemed to contain some kind of strange magic. Mariko's trembling body gradually calmed down, and her breathing returned to normal.

A while later...

Mariko, having completed her transformation from a girl to a woman, slowly opened her eyes, her long eyelashes still glistening with tiny teardrops.

“You really are a ruthless thug… I almost thought I was going to die on the spot…”

Her tone sounded somewhat resentful, yet also like she was being coquettish.

Li Xingzhou chuckled softly, his hand sliding down her back, lingering between her slender waist and shapely buttocks, and said leisurely:
"If not, how will you remember me forever?"

"You greedy bastard, you actually expect me to remember you forever? I'm a woman who's engaged."

"Yet it was I who made you a real woman. As for your engagement... ha, it's not worth mentioning." "Li Ang, I know you're strong, and perhaps have some connections. But you don't understand what the surname 'Yashida' means in Japan..."

"I know."

"you know?"

"The Yashida family is the largest conglomerate in Japan today, specializing in high-tech industries. They are incredibly wealthy, even maintaining a private military and ninja forces, right?"

“You…” Mariko propped herself up, looking at Li Xingzhou in surprise: “Since you knew that, you still dared to provoke me?”

Li Xingzhou raised his hand and gently grasped the white mound of flesh on her chest, which he could just hold in one hand, and said casually:
"There is no woman in this world I dare not provoke."

"Don't think that just because you're American, you can mess with the Yashida Group."

Mariko pressed down on his mischievous hand, rested her head on his chest, and listened quietly to his strong, powerful heartbeat, murmuring:

"Even if you can use studying abroad as an excuse to postpone the engagement as much as possible, I will eventually marry the fiancé my father has arranged for me... I can't go against my father, and you can't ruin this marriage... Let's just treat tonight's events as a dream..."

Li Xingzhou smiled, said nothing more, and gently cupped her cheeks, kissing her again.

He hasn't had enough fun yet.

……

Mariko did not stay overnight.

After midnight, she dressed neatly and left the nightclub.

Of course, Li Xingzhou wouldn't abandon her after getting what he wanted, so he personally drove her back to her hotel.

During the journey, Li Xingzhou drove while giving her instructions:

"Don't go out alone at night anymore. New York at night is dangerous, especially Queens."

Mariko sat in the back seat, a faint, sweet smile playing on her cherry-red lips. She nodded gently and said softly:

"Yes, I know. But I actually have guards. I just tricked them tonight and sneaked out."

Li Xingzhou smiled and said:
"Your guards must be pretty incompetent to have managed to sneak out like this."

"Li Ang, you underestimate me. I have studied swordsmanship and also learned some ninja stealth skills."

Li Xingzhou simply smiled at her statement and offered no comment—with his discerning eye, he could certainly tell that Mariko had practiced martial arts, but it was merely a showy display of physical fitness.

In a real fight, even that unlucky Andrew could easily take her down.

Of course, Li Xingzhou didn't directly criticize her; he simply said:
“Although you have guards, this is New York. There are some problems that your guards may not be able to solve. So, if you encounter any trouble that is difficult to resolve, feel free to call me.”

Mariko smiled, pursing her lips.
"You can also call on Homelander. It is said that Homelander has super hearing. Anyone who is in trouble can just shout Homelander for help and he will come to their aid at supersonic speed."

Li Xingzhou frowned and solemnly instructed:

"If you run into trouble, you can call me or summon Spider-Woman—although she doesn't have Homelander's super hearing and might not be able to hear your plea for help, she operates in Queens, and you might run into her if you're lucky. But absolutely, absolutely, do not call Homelander."
