Before Ryuzaki Makoto could speak, Lee, who was standing next to him, was startled.
What's going on?!
What is Father doing?!
I never told myself I was going to pull this stunt!
Lee's face instantly filled with embarrassment and unease. He glanced at the calm-faced Ryuzaki Makoto, then at the steady Lee Jae-sung on the sofa, and quickly spoke up.
"Father! Is there...some misunderstanding here?"
Lee Jae-sung glanced coldly at his son, his voice devoid of any emotion.
"Shut up! Get out of the way! You have no right to interrupt here!"
The moment Li stood up for himself in front of his father earlier was nothing more than a brief moment of hot-blooded enthusiasm.
From childhood to adulthood, his father's authority had been deeply ingrained in his bones.
At that moment, after being scolded by his father, his Adam's apple bobbed twice, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything and obediently stepped aside.
Ryuzaki Makoto's expression remained completely calm.
Were these two putting on a show for me?
Or is it...?
What was actually discovered?
However, he sneered inwardly.
You think you can get your hands on me, Ryuzaki Makoto, with just a broken pistol pressed against the back of his head?
With his incredible skill of "zero-distance combat," he didn't take this kind of sneak attack seriously at all.
Ryuzaki ignored the cold muzzle of the gun pressed against the back of his head, casually took out a Dunhill cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, and then slowly took a drag and exhaled the smoke before speaking indifferently.
"Is this... your gang's way of treating guests?"
Lee Jae-sung's sharp gaze was fixed on the young man in front of him.
He remained calm and composed in the face of danger, and his words carried an air of authority.
He then looked back at his son, who stood silently to the side, trembling with fear.
I couldn't help but sigh, "Comparing people is truly infuriating."
As expected of a fierce dragon that managed to carve out a bloody path and gain a foothold in the treacherous city of Huya.
Lee Jae-sung sneered and got straight to the point.
"What is your purpose in deliberately getting close to my son? Just say it."
Ryuzaki slowly exhaled another puff of smoke.
"What's the purpose? It's very simple, we just want to trade a batch of weapons with Young Master Li."
Lee Jae-sung shook his head meaningfully.
He picked up the red wine on the table, poured himself a glass, gently swirled the wine in the glass, and took a sip.
The crimson liquid slid down the corner of his mouth, making him look even more sinister.
He put down his wine glass and looked at Ryuzaki Makoto.
"Amber is your subordinate, isn't she? Was that incident at the container terminal in the east of the city, a well-orchestrated show by the two of you?"
After Lee Jae-sung finished speaking, he clapped his hands lightly.
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! You've made my good-for-nothing son suffer such a huge loss, and in the end, he's still grateful to you. What a brilliant move!"
Li, who was standing to the side, suddenly narrowed his eyes upon hearing his father's words!
He stared at Ryuzaki Makoto in disbelief. That devastating defeat back then... it turns out...
Is this the truth?
"Ryuzaki-kun...is that so?"
Ryuzaki Makoto glanced at Lee Jae-sung on the sofa.
Old ginger is spicier.
How could he find out about something like this?
However, Ryuzaki Makoto did meet with Kohaku in public a few times back then.
It wouldn't be surprising if someone saw it.
This was indeed something Lee Jae-sung had his men urgently find out this afternoon.
After all, as a former big boss who once held sway over the South Korean underworld, without these intelligence-gathering skills, he would have been devoured long ago.
The reason for the discovery was quite simple: Amber openly attended her birthday party just a few days prior to offer her congratulations.
Now that he had been exposed, Ryuzaki Shinya made no attempt to hide it and readily admitted it.
That's exactly how it is.
Without blushing or panting, Ryuzaki Makoto took another drag of his cigarette before speaking calmly.
"But what does this have to do with our cooperation?"
Lee Jae-sung sneered.
What do you mean?
Ryuzaki flicked his cigarette ash onto the ground and said dismissively.
"Back then, it was your son who took the initiative to lead people to attack my territory. I used a scheme to turn Amber against me, thus protecting my brothers and my territory. Is there a problem with that?"
"As for the later cooperation between me and Young Master Li, it was essentially just a matter of each getting what they needed. In this world, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests."
"Mr. Li has been in the business world for so many years, surely he doesn't understand this principle?"
Li originally wanted to question Ryuzaki Makoto, but after hearing what he said, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.
He felt that what Ryuzaki Shin said...
That seems to be true.
Back then, it was indeed my own initiative to lead people to attack someone else's territory. Shouldn't others be allowed to resist?
Later, the True Dragon Society needed weapons to expand its power, and its own gang also needed to find a new foothold in Japan.
Both parties truly benefited from the cooperation, and no problems arose during the cooperation period.
Just then, Ryuzaki finished the last puff of his cigarette and casually flicked the butt away.
"And Mr. Li asked me what my purpose was? My purpose... is very simple..."
Ryuzaki Makoto had barely finished speaking!
His head suddenly tilted to the left!
With lightning speed, he grabbed the wrist of the bodyguard behind him who was holding a gun and twisted it hard!
"Snap!"
The bodyguard's wrist snapped instantly!
Ryuzaki Makoto seized the pistol and, without pausing, delivered a vicious over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the nearly two-meter-tall white bodyguard onto the floor with a loud thud, like a sack of potatoes!
Almost at the same time, another bodyguard standing at the door also reacted and was about to draw his gun from his pocket!
However, Ryuzaki was even faster than him!
He didn't even look at the bodyguard; his left elbow shot out like a cannonball, striking backward with tremendous force!
"Bang!"
A dull elbow strike landed squarely on the bodyguard's temple!
Before the bodyguard could even utter a sound, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed limply to the ground.
The only two top-tier bodyguards in the arena were both taken down by Ryuzaki Makoto in less than two seconds!
The Li father and son were completely stunned by this sudden and earth-shattering change!
Before they could recover from the shock...
Ryuzaki Shin had already raised the pistol he had just snatched, the dark muzzle pointing directly at Lee Jae-sung, who was still sitting comfortably on the sofa, without the slightest hesitation!
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Three crisp gunshots rang out suddenly in the luxurious suite...
