"Is your night over?" the man asked.

"No! It's not over! It won't end! My night has just begun!" These words came out of Ms. Chiyo's mouth almost subconsciously.

She had never met such a man, nor had any man dared to speak to her in such a condescending tone, but Ms. Chiyo actually enjoyed it like never before... She didn't know if she had fallen in love with the man named Ukyo, but Ms. Chiyo understood that she had spent a lot of money and time on that man, but she didn't regret it at all, and even enjoyed it.

Chapter 559 Gathering at Takama-ga-hara

Ms. Chiyo even felt that the man named Ukyo had become a part of her heart. No other man in the world could give her this feeling. After meeting Ukyo, Ms. Chiyo could no longer accept a world without Ukyo.

"Ms. Chiyo...Ms. Chiyo..." Assistant Yami's voice woke Ms. Chiyo from her thoughts.

"I heard that we're having dinner with the governor and his wife at 12:30, right? The location is at Shinjuku South Exit?" Ms. Chiyo asked casually.

"It's Kita Aoyama, Ms. Chiyo," Yami corrected, "and the time isn't half past twelve, it's half past eleven."

"Ms. Chiyo, are you feeling unwell?" Ya Ma asked her with concern. "Have you been too busy lately? Too many work and meetings? I heard from the company that you took the whole morning off this morning. If you feel unwell, do you want me to call a doctor to see you?"

Yamei's worries weren't unfounded. Ms. Chiyo wasn't in her right mood today. She'd always been a driven, ambitious woman at work, renowned for her efficiency and exceptional concentration. She'd rarely been late in her career. When had she ever taken an entire morning off without a clear reason? She couldn't even focus on her own report.

"No...I'm fine." Ms. Chiyo shook her head, a little upset.

Ms. Chiyo was indeed in a bad mood today. She took half a day off this morning because she stayed in Takama-ga-hara almost until dawn last night before returning home.

Few people know what big incident happened at the gate of Takama-ga-hara last night. Although it was a large-scale riot with a lot of people and a lot of momentum, the underworld has completely blocked the news. Even today's news and newspapers did not mention last night's riot at all... But Ms. Chiyo knew what happened last night.

Because after Ukyo and others left last night, Ms. Chiyo couldn't stand the loneliness, so she put on her clothes and slipped out of the Takama-ga-hara box to the terrace on the third floor. She secretly took a look at the situation outside and she almost fainted from fright.

Men, men in black holding knives and guns, were so numerous that they filled the streets in front of Takama-ga-hara. They were like a black tide. The scene made it difficult to breathe and made one feel suffocated.

Ms. Chiyo's legs felt a little weak, but she still forced herself to stay strong and peeked while holding onto the railing. She recognized the two people leading the men in black, Mr. Fuma Kotaro and Ms. Sakurai Nanami. Ms. Chiyo knew that they were both well-known figures in the underworld, and they were confronting Basara King, Ukyo and Sakura.

They were talking to each other in a language Ms. Chiyo couldn't understand, but there was no need to think too much about the situation. It was obvious that Ukyo and his gang had offended the Japanese underworld, and they had sent people to seek revenge. But looking at the stern-faced Mr. Fuuma Kotaro, the cold Ms. Sakurai Nanami, and the thousands of gangsters, Ms. Chiyo couldn't imagine... Ukyo and Sakura were just twenty-year-old boys! What had these boys done wrong? To deserve the vicious Japanese underworld to hunt them down so publicly?

Ms. Chiyo took the whole morning off this morning. It was not because she had not slept all night and was catching up on sleep this morning, but because she secretly used her network of connections in Japan to investigate the origins of Basara King, Ukyo and several other young gigolos.

You wouldn't know until you check. Once you check, Ms. Chiyo is really shocked. The real names of Basara King, Ukyo Tachibana and Sakura are actually Caesar Gattuso, Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei. Not only do they have criminal records in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, they are also wanted for smuggling, arms smuggling, terrorist attacks and molesting young girls. However, the wanted warrant was withdrawn within two weeks. Then the two largest forces in the underworld, the Snake Eight Clan and the Oni Clan, issued red-letter bounties on the three.

The charges given by the Sheqi Eight Families were that Chu Zihang assassinated the former head of the family, Tachibana Masamune, and Lu Mingfei kidnapped the head of the Uesugi family, Uesugi Erii, and Caesar was an accomplice of the two.

The crime given by the ghost group was that Caesar, Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei rushed into the street and killed hundreds of their gang members. Their behavior was heinous and their crimes were extremely serious.

Ms. Chiyo is a smart person. After knowing this information, she immediately realized that Ukyo and Sakura were hiding in Takama-ga-hara to avoid being hunted by the underworld, disguised as gigolos, because the Japanese underworld would never interfere in the affairs of the gigolo club. But Ms. Chiyo also knew that there must be something fishy, ​​because in her opinion, whether it was Basara King, Ukyo, Sakura, or even Heracles who joined later, they were all good kids... How could someone who was willing to share his kindness and love with others be such a vicious person?

So Ms. Chiyo used her connections to intercede for Caesar, Chu Zihang and others, but at this critical juncture she could not contact any big figures in the Japanese underworld. Ms. Chiyo was turned away for the whole morning, and then she realized that the grudge between those children and the Japanese underworld was too deep, and the old relationship between her and the Sheqi Eight Families would not provide any room for change.

So, with her worry about Ukyo and the others, Ms. Chiyo was restless and absent-minded almost the entire day today... She just wanted Ukyo to be safe. If anything happened to those children, she would no longer care about her old relationship with the Sheqi Eight Families. She would lead the entire Nishimura Law Firm to boycott the Japanese underworld for life and would not defend them.

"Ms. Chiyo, if you're truly unwell, I'll ask for leave from the institute on your behalf," Assistant Yamei asked tentatively. "How about we skip tonight's meeting? You can go back and get some rest. After all, you have a more important banquet at 11:30 p.m. that you need to attend."

"I'm fine. I'm not feeling unwell." Ms. Chiyo shook her head. "I'm just a little tired, but it's nothing serious."

"Don't push yourself," Yamei kindly reminded him. "If you're alright, we should start preparing our speech for tonight's meeting. The director wants you to speak without a script, and there will be a rehearsal in forty-five minutes."

Ms. Chiyo nodded. She was about to get up and leave the office with Yamei, but was attracted by the sudden ringing of her cell phone.

The screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up and a text message came in. Ms. Chiyo suddenly picked up the phone. The sending number of the text message was encrypted and was not displayed at this time.

"When do you plan to end your night?"

Ms. Chiyo read the content of just a few words over and over again, until every familiar word became unfamiliar. Finally, Ms. Chiyo's eyes fell on the signature of the text message, and she stared at the sender.

Ukyo Tachibana.

Ukyo...it's Ukyo!

Ukyo sent me an invitation!

Ms. Chiyo's body shook, and the gloomy atmosphere disappeared. A confident and joyful smile appeared on her face, and Ms. Chiyo turned back into her powerful self.

"Ma'am, is there any good news?" Assistant Yamei asked cautiously.

"That's good news indeed." Ms. Chiyo smiled happily. She pulled out her lipstick and mirror from her expensive handbag and began to touch up her makeup right then and there. She then instructed her assistant, "Yami, please cancel the meeting at the institute for me. I won't be going. I'll ask for leave from the institute."

"Okay, Ms. Chiyo." Assistant Yami bowed and crossed the meeting off her schedule. "I'll consult the director later. You should rest up now and recharge for the banquet tonight."

"Oh, by the way, I won't be attending the party tonight either. Please cancel my ticket for me." Miss Chiyo stood up gracefully, stepped into a pair of nine-centimeter high heels, untied her hair tie, and let her long hair fall naturally behind her shoulders. "Thank you, Yamei, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"Huh?" Assistant Yami thought she had misheard and froze in her tracks. Then, realizing what she was saying, she quickly reminded Ms. Chiyo, "What did you say? You're not going to the party? Are you sure, Ms. Chiyo? Your husband has invited the Governor of Tokyo and his wife to the party tonight. This trip is incredibly important! Do you have anything else that's more pressing?"

"Oh? The Tokyo Governor and his wife, is it important? If you want to go, you can go with them for dinner in my place." Ms. Chiyo strode out of the office door without looking back. "Don't bother me tonight, even if there are more five-stars, because the invitation I'm about to accept... is one hundred stars in importance!"

……

Harume Miyazawa, 22 years old, is a hot new star in the Japanese film and television industry. She is regarded as the most promising female artist in Japan this year, because no actress of the younger generation can match her in terms of appearance, figure or acting skills. Some people say that as long as Harume Miyazawa has enough experience, she will be the next Momoe Yamaguchi.

Moreover, Miyazawa Harume is a rare actress who has never had any scandals or gossip. Generally, female stars who can gain such a status in the entertainment industry at this age basically rely on hyping up their love affairs or are willing to accept unspoken rules and dedicate themselves to some big shots, but Miyazawa Harume does not need that.

Because in addition to her looks, figure and acting skills, what makes Miyazawa Harume even more enviable is her background... Miyazawa Harume's father is a famous director in the Japanese film and television industry, and he has the support of a gangster family and has a close relationship with the head of the Inuyama family of the Snake Eight Clan.

At this time, Miyazawa Harume's family was sitting around the dining table enjoying dinner.

"Harume, what are your thoughts on those young people I mentioned to you last time?" Miyazawa Harume's father looked at his daughter with a gentle tone and a kind expression. "I have carefully screened and examined those young people..."

"Father," Miyazawa Harume interrupted his father softly, "There's no need to check out boys for me. I've already told you that I don't want to get married or fall in love right now."

"Oh, Harume, why can't you understand your father's good intentions?" Miyazawa Harume's mother, a famous dancer in her youth, also spoke up. "You know how chaotic the Japanese entertainment industry is. If your father hadn't been so prestigious in the industry, how many more years would it have taken you to reach where you are today? Of course, I'm not saying you don't work hard, but this is how society works. People with connections have an easier time making a living than others. Just think about it, how many people would want to rely on your father's support?"

"But what does that have to do with me?" Miyazawa Harume took a bite of food.

"How can it be unrelated? If I want to get close to your father, you're the easiest way!" Miyazawa Harume's mother said, "Those who give gifts and money are fine, but what about those men?"

"Harume, you're beautiful and have a good reputation. The amount of boys who want to date you in the entertainment industry would pile up higher than the Tokyo Tower, but that industry is a melting pot with all kinds of people. Who knows, there might be a guy who's eyeing your background and trying to get close to you," Miyazawa Harume's mother said earnestly. "Let me tell you, men in the entertainment industry are the best at lying to girls. A while ago, a little star told his fans, 'You're my sister,' and took all their money. If this happened to you, our family's reputation would be ruined... So you should find a decent boyfriend sooner rather than later. Wouldn't that also give your dad and me less to worry about?"

"But at the media conference some time ago, didn't Dad just advocate freedom of love through his new movie?" Miyazawa Harume asked back.

"Isn't that to help young people in today's society empathize?" Miyazawa Harume's father said, "Besides, Dad never said he would interfere with your freedom to date. The son of a director, the son of a politician, the son of a banker... Dad has found so many outstanding and reliable young people for you. Can't you just pick one that satisfies you? Dad won't interfere with who you choose."

Miyazawa Harume sighed slowly. She knew that her parents seemed open-minded, but their decadent ideas were already deeply rooted. Being stubborn would not work, so she was particularly good at acting... Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Miyazawa Harume was quite talented in acting. She was very good at appearing virtuous and obedient in front of her parents, but in fact she was very rebellious in her heart.

Perhaps because she had been confined for too long since she was a child and her parents had very strict restrictions, Miyazawa Harume recently liked to go to some places she had never been to and where she could indulge herself, such as game halls and clubs... As a result, by chance, in a club called Takama-ga-hara, Miyazawa Harume met a blond man. From then on, she felt that all the male stars in the entertainment industry, including the sons of directors, politicians, and bankers... all men were weak!

"Takamagahara Anniversary Night, a brand new dance experience, free-flowing champagne and red wine, and even a surprise guest! We look forward to your visit - Basara King."

A text message popped up on Miyazawa Harume's phone. After glancing at the sender, Miyazawa Harume quickly locked the phone and turned it over on the table.

"Hmm?" the sharp-eyed mother noticed Miyazawa Harume's movements and asked, "Whose news is it?"

"A... friend." Miyazawa Harume stammered.

Chapter 560 The storm is coming

"A friend?" Miyazawa Harume's mother became alert. "What kind of friend? Where did you make this friend? Is it a man or a woman? Your father and I have never heard you mention such a friend?"

"I just met him recently. He's a boy and a very good... actor." Miyazawa Harume chose her words carefully. She couldn't possibly tell her parents that the "friend" she recently met was a gigolo.

Hearing their daughter's words, Miyazawa Harume's father and mother looked at each other and became alert.

"Someone from the entertainment industry?" Miyazawa Harume's father said, "Harume, your mother just told you that the entertainment industry is a big melting pot. The people in it are too messy, and the water there is too turbid. You are not suitable to date boys in the industry."

"We're not dating." Miyazawa Harume's face flushed slightly, "We're just ordinary... friends."

"An ordinary friend? An ordinary friend would text you at this time?" Miyazawa Harume's mother asked her daughter cautiously, "Why would your friend text you? What's the content of the message?"

"He has a... performance tonight, and his company is holding a party tonight, and he asked me if I want to join him." Miyazawa Harume was telling the truth.

"Banquet? How come I don't know which agency or entertainment company is hosting a banquet tonight? Why would a company invite my daughter but not me?" Miyazawa Harume's father asked in confusion, "Which entertainment company does your friend belong to?"

"Their company isn't very well-known. Dad, you might not have heard of it." Miyazawa Harume quickly stood up and said, "I have to go out. If I don't get ready now, I might be late for the party tonight."

Miyazawa Harume could only evade the question. She couldn't make up a company off the cuff because her father had connections in almost all the companies in the entertainment industry. She also didn't dare tell her parents that her "friend" worked in Takama-ga-hara... Miyazawa Harume was afraid that once her parents knew what Takama-ga-hara was, they would rush to Kabukicho to fight the gigolo named "Basara King".

"Then could you at least tell us what that person's name is, how old he is, and where the party is being held? Otherwise, how can we let you go?" The father rambled on to Miyazawa Harume. "Tonight, an old friend of mine brought his son to visit us. His son graduated from MIT with a doctorate in medicine. He's a very honest and well-educated man. He's always been busy doing research in the lab and hasn't had the chance to meet girls. He heard about you and came back to see you. He's also a fan of yours. He said that if we could get engaged, he wouldn't hinder your future in the entertainment industry. He'd also be fine with you rehearsing kissing scenes. Harume, don't you plan to meet him?"

"He sounds really nice. I'm really tempted... But I've already made a date with a friend tonight. I have to be there." Miyazawa Harume put on his coat and walked towards the door. "Next time, definitely next time. Next time I get a chance, I'll treat your old friend and his son to dinner."

"Harumi, make it clear, you are not going anywhere until we know the details of your friend!" the mother yelled, "How else can we guarantee your safety?"

"Mother, I'm an adult now. I can guarantee my own safety." Miyazawa Harume waved to his parents at the table and walked out without looking back. "And my friend will protect me too. He's a gentleman, more of a gentleman than any other man I've ever met."

As soon as Miyazawa Harume left the kitchen, he couldn't wait to take out his phone and reply to the text message: "Basara King, is it really you? When I first saw the message, I thought someone was impersonating you. How could a man like you actually send a text message to solicit customers?"

After Miyazawa Harume replied, he stared at his phone with every step as he went downstairs. He was feeling nervous, afraid that he would be slow to reply and upset the other party, and also afraid that he would miss important news.

After a while, a message popped up on the phone. Miyazawa Harume quickly clicked it to read and almost sprained his ankle when going down the stairs.

"It wasn't my intention to send a soliciting text message. Although I edited the content of the message, it was a task assigned to us by the boss lady...but I do invite you. Would you like to join us for the anniversary party at Takamagahara, beautiful lady?"

"Beautiful lady?" Miyazawa Harume angrily edited the message on his phone. "This message was sent to a group of people, right? Looking at the strange address, do you really not remember who I am?"

Miyazawa Harume felt a little uncomfortable. She was secretly angry with the blond gigolo. If he really didn't remember her, she would go to meet her father's friend's son who had graduated from MIT and had a doctorate degree, and she would not go to the carnival celebration in Takama-ga-hara.

"The one who would speak like that is Harume Miyazawa, right?" A reply came from the other end after a moment.

"Huh?" Miyazawa Harume was a little surprised. "How did you remember that? Did you know it from the beginning?"

"There are so many female customers in Takama-ga-hara, I can't remember all their phone numbers one by one...but you, Miss Miyazawa, are the only special one." The blond gigolo replied.

"Oh? I'm special?" Miyazawa Harume asked with interest, "What makes me special?"

"Customers are king, of course. It's also our highest principle at Takama-ga-hara. However, many customers take advantage of their status and act irritably. Just now, a few of them realized I was sending a group message and got mad at me. But even if you're angry, Miss Miyazawa Harume, you never lose your temper... You're always the gentlest one."

The man responded quickly.

Reading these words, Miyazawa Harume imagined the appearance of the blond gigolo gentleman in her mind, and two balls of fire flew onto her face... Miyazawa Harume has always been a very rational girl. She certainly knows that with her strict upbringing, there will be no future between her and a gigolo, but when faced with such a handsome and gentlemanly man, which girl can remain rational and not be moved?

"So am I lucky enough to see your beautiful figure tonight? Ms. Harume Miyazawa." The man's text message came in again.

"I will be there as promised." Miyazawa Harumi typed back quickly.

"Then I'll wait patiently for Miyazawa Harume's arrival. I'll reserve the best seats and the finest wine for you, and look forward to spending an unforgettable night of revelry with you." This was the last text from the gigolo. At the end, the gentlemanly gigolo also reminded him, "The weather is inclement, and the roads are slippery after dark. Please be careful on your way here. If anything happens on the way here, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Miyazawa Harume stopped in her tracks. Although she knew that these were just polite words from the gigolo to his customers, she couldn't help but fall for him when she imagined the blond man saying these words in a gentle tone in her mind. Her heart was beating fast in her chest.

Miyazawa Harume already had a premonition that all the money she earned from her last movie... would probably be spent on that handsome blond vampire tonight.

……

"Mr. Governor? I'm Ogawa Takazo, Chiyo's husband." At that moment, at Chiyo's home, her husband was holding the phone receiver and cautiously speaking to the other end, "I had originally planned to host a dinner for you and your wife tonight... But I'm so sorry, my wife Chiyo is feeling unwell tonight and has already canceled her own law firm's meeting tonight, so she probably won't be able to attend the dinner. I'm really sorry. What do you think, should we continue with the dinner without Chiyo attending tonight? Or should we make an appointment another day..."

Ogawa Takazo was in great trouble. He was very angry about his wife, Ms. Chiyo, who suddenly broke the appointment, but he could do nothing about it. He knew that his wife was just like that, but no matter how casual and arrogant Chiyo was, there was a limit. Now he couldn't contact his wife at all, so he had no choice but to call the governor.

The governor of Tokyo is equivalent to a senior official of a province in China and a governor of a state in the United States. In some cases, the governor even has more power than the latter two. This is why Ogawa Takazo is so nervous. His business in Tokyo cannot be done without the support of the governor, and even his business outside Tokyo depends on the governor's network of relationships. If the other party offends the governor, the other party has the ability to kick him out of Tokyo's wealthy circle.

"Oh, oh, it's Mr. Ogawa. I was just about to call you." The voice of the Tokyo Governor came from the other end of the line. "I was just about to call you too. It's us who should be sorry. My wife just got a call saying that one of her new godson is having an engagement ceremony in Shinjuku, and she called at the last minute to attend it."

"Godson?" Ogawa Ryuzo was stunned. "How old is your wife? She seems to be less than 40 years old. Why haven't I heard that you have a godson?"

"He's not our godson, but my wife's. He seems to be a German man named Heracles. We've only just met, but he's said to be a knowledgeable and insightful young man. My wife and I hit it off immediately, and we even discussed the plot and high notes of an opera at a German opera house," the governor explained to Ogawa Ryuzo. "My wife was also quite impressed with him and adopted him as her godson on the spot."

"Really? The governor's wife is really... a person of temperament." Ogawa Takazo sighed, and his heart finally felt a little more balanced.

It turns out that not only his wife is so difficult to deal with, even the governor cannot escape the fate of being abandoned by his wife and left alone in the empty room... It turns out that every family has its own problems!

……

The heavy rain almost turned the streets of Tokyo into rivers, and the black convoy drove through the streets through the accumulated water.

In the two Rolls-Royces at the front sat the two current heads of the eight Snake families. Fuma Kotaro sat in a luxury car with Spider-Man printed on it. His white hair was combed meticulously. He was wearing a black haori kimono, wooden clogs and white socks.

Nanami Sakurai in the other car was dressed in a similar style. The expressions of the two family heads were very serious, just like ancient warriors about to go to war.

All the shops on the street were closed, and signs saying "Closed today, sorry" were posted at the door of every business. This was of course the instruction of the Sheqi Eight Families. The underworld families had such great power that any business that wanted to open a shop in Tokyo had to rely on the underworld families to gain a foothold on such a prosperous street. This was the basic rule of this city.

The power of the Sheqi Eight Families is certainly not limited to this. Not only did they notify businesses in Shinjuku District to close, they even blocked all the streets in Shinjuku District. After noon today, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department notified all the main streets in Shinjuku District to enter the previous traffic control. The roads that are not considered main streets were also blocked at both ends of the intersection by personnel deployed by the Sheqi Eight Families and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Roadblocks can be seen everywhere in this city, and vehicles without special passes are not allowed to enter or exit the controlled streets.

Today is the day that Fuma Kotaro and Boss Takama-ga-hara have agreed to meet. It is also the day for the negotiation between the Yaki Eight Families headed by Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami and the Kassel Academy headed by the Caesar Group. This negotiation concerns the direction of the two major underworld forces in Japan and the survival of certain top figures. At such an important moment, any insignificant person is prohibited from setting foot in this area.

Along the way, Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami's cars were driving side by side, but neither of the two family heads rolled down the window to talk or look at each other... It was not because the wind and rain were too strong, but because they each had heavy concerns and their faces were extremely gloomy.

Because two important figures from the Sheqi Eight Families have lost contact.

One of them is the most important figure in the Sheqi Eight Families, the soul of the Sheqi Eight Families and the current patriarch, Gen Chisheng. No one knows where Gen Chisheng has gone. After the meeting of the wanted Caesar team, Gen Chisheng disappeared from the family. The Sheqi Eight Families sent thousands of people to look for him, but no one could grasp Gen Chisheng's movements. It seemed that he had disappeared from Tokyo and even the whole of Japan.

Another family head who lost contact was Ryoma Genichirō. Ryoma Genichirō had the strength of the Japanese military. He was originally sent to the Tama River area to defend the plan to wipe out the "God" in Hongjing, but for some reason he lost communication, and together with the Self-Defense Forces under his command, the Kisarazu base could not be contacted. What was even more strange was that all the people sent to the Tama River area to inquire about the news of Hongjing lost contact for no reason... It was as if there was a bloody mouth there, silently swallowing all the people near that area.

But Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami know that this matter must be related to "God", and they don't know if "God" has really resurrected... The former head of the family, Tachibana Masamune, was assassinated, the current head of the family, Minamoto Nakasuke, is missing, Uesugi Erii is in the hands of Kassel Academy, Ryoma Genichirō has lost contact, Miyamoto Shio fell into a coma just after returning to the Yaki Eight Families, and the head of the Inuyama family is ignorant of the world. Now the only ones who can carry the banner of the Yaki Eight Families are Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami, the former lovers.

Chapter 561: Night of Wind and Tide 2

The Yakihachi family's convoy suddenly stopped, and Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami were stuck at the intersection two streets away from Kabukicho. It seemed that there was a congestion or traffic accident ahead.

But this is also incredible enough. Today, a street in Kabukicho has been cleared, and all streets in Shinjuku district are under traffic control... Since it has been controlled, where does the traffic congestion come from?
