Chapter 374: Chapter 174: The Young Master’s Head Swap

Gao Xin had passed this hurdle, and the road ahead was clear.

The rooms of singing girls and dancing courtesans were no place for a man like him, and his intrusion was shocking.

Yet, since he had entered, those women and servants could say nothing, merely stepping aside to clear the path.

Gao Xin held his head high and chest out, striding directly toward the innermost, quietest suite.

This was the Oiran Chizuru’s room. Gao Xin, having confirmed through his bugs that Luo Yan was inside, stormed right in.

The room’s decor was simple and elegant, filled with a Japanese flair.

Oiran Chizuru had changed into a kimono, no longer in the previous bulky and extravagant attire, and was now gracefully dancing in the center of the living room.

Meanwhile, Luo Yan was beside her, awkwardly playing a shamisen, a three-stringed musical instrument used for accompaniment.

Oiran Chizuru was startled at the sudden intrusion of Gao Xin.

Luo Yan, on the other hand, stood up abruptly, throwing aside the string instrument and recognizing the newcomer.

"Xin!"

Gao Xin darted forward, grasping the snow-white neck of Oiran Chizuru in his hand.

Unexpectedly, Oiran Chizuru was not a weak woman; though her face paled, she immediately retaliated.

With lightning speed, she pulled a dagger from her sleeve, aiming straight for Gao Xin’s temple.

"Tiger Level?"

At Chizuru’s first move, Gao Xin knew she was a fledgling tiger.

Her prowess was quite impressive, on par with Rousi.

However, her strength was far from matching up.

Gao Xin easily caught the dagger and snatched it away.

He then twisted Chizuru’s arm behind her back and pinned her down on the table.

Chizuru didn’t know what he was going to do, her face pale with fright, "Who are you? You have quite the nerve... If you harm me, even if you flee to the Netherworld, Fujihara will hunt you down..."

Gao Xin chuckled, "That sounds good to me. Since I’ve dared to come here, I’m not afraid of death."

"In fact, I’d like to experience once more what it’s like to go to the Netherworld and come back."

He said ’once more,’ but Chizuru didn’t catch it.

Chizuru struggled with all her might, but her strength was no match for Gao Xin’s.

Gao Xin said indifferently, "A fledgling tiger, huh? No wonder they dare to leave you alone with Luo Yan. But against me, you’re not quite up to snuff. You’re far behind compared to Rousi."

In his view, though Chizuru was a fledgling tiger, she was much weaker compared to Cassandra, let alone when compared to Rousi.

Knowing the disparity in their strength, Chizuru stopped resisting and said, "If Lily wasn’t locked up, you wouldn’t have had the chance to touch me..."

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, "Lily?"

By now, Luo Yan had closed the door and came over, saying, "She is Rousi, her name is Lily Rose."

"Originally, she was supposed to be one of the people responsible for the Oiran’s safety today, to protect her closely. But... she got locked up because she tried to help me, now confined in the Yamaguchi Family’s dungeon."

As Gao Xin had made his way here, he hadn’t seen many female members of the Black Hand Group; the whole Yakuza seemed to have only one strong woman, Rousi.

Rousi was originally in charge of the internal security backstage. With her present, no outsider could have gotten close enough to harm the Oiran.

Clearly, because of Luo Yan’s situation, Rousi was taken into custody.

As for the other strong figures, they were not so convenient to have around, so they were only guarding outside the backstage area.

Chizuru said solemnly, "Luo, do you know each other?"

Luo Yan said, "He’s my brother. He’s come to save me."

He then turned to Gao Xin, "Let her go. Chizuru isn’t that dangerous, and she also wishes for me to be able to escape."

Gao Xin was taken aback, looking at Luo Yan. This guy had quite the charm with women, always thriving among them.

Since Luo Yan put it that way, Gao Xin released Chizuru, "Oiran, I hope you’ll behave. Don’t force me to kill you."

"You wouldn’t want to die a gruesome death."

He toyed with the dagger, spinning it between his fingers, casting after-images.

Chizuru adjusted her appearance and assessed Gao Xin, "You must be that friend of Luo and the others. He said you would definitely come to rescue him, I didn’t believe it... I didn’t expect you’d actually dare to come here."

"And to make it this far, how did you infiltrate this place?"

She had heard no commotion outside, which told her Gao Xin had snuck in stealthily. This was astonishing; Hiroki Taku was highly vigilant and it was impossible to deceive him. How had Gao Xin gotten past him?

Gao Xin just smiled, "That’s none of your concern. As long as you cooperate, I won’t be discovered for a little while yet."

Luo Yan said gravely, "Brother, I’m glad you could come, but you simply can’t take me away with you."

"You don’t realize that Rousi, who defeated you, was easily overpowered by the Black Hand Group leader Suzuki Shougen with just his presence, without any chance to resist."

"With him around, there’s no way you can get me out."

Gao Xin replied, "Suzuki Shougen has been forced to escape from prison. Luo Yi threw him straight out of Crime Prison Island..."

"Ah?" Luo Yan was shocked. Such a move was possible? Thrown out of Crime Prison Island?

Chizuru was also startled, "Are you from Tangren City?"

Gao Xin shook his head, "Just made some friends, asked them for a little help."

Chizuru’s eyes filled with sorrow, "Why would Tangren City get involved... Is another great war about to start? My brother has sought out Miss Sivina, the daughter of Sea King, a high official of Sea King Port."

"If the people from Tangren City clash with her, it could trigger a national conflict..."

Gao Xin pondered; no wonder Luo Yi backed off so quickly upon hearing that name.

The crux of the matter was not how strong Sivina was; as a Hidden Dragon, Quasi-Elephant King Luo Yi might not even fear her. The key point was that she represented Sea King Port and was a senior official there.

To confront her was not a situation that could be explained away easily. To cross the daughter of their leader meant an inevitable conflict between two major city powers.

"A national conflict, is it that terrible?"

Chizuru said urgently, "War is always brutal!"

"Since the founding of Crime Prison Island more than twenty years ago, a total of two hundred million people have passed through it! How many are left now?"
