Chapter 334 - Ginza Club (2/2)

Chen Fan had his fair share of dealing with strident and strong women in his life. Let it be the sisters of Lu family, Zheng Anqi or Tang Yifei, any one of them was a force to be reckoned with. Tang Yifei, in particular, was able to claim dominance over Jiang Nan Province’s underground world. She had proved her decisiveness and gusto when she ordered the a.s.sa.s.sins to do away with Chen Fan while she lured the latter into the garden.

However, none of these young women’s abilities were remotely threatening to Chen Fan.

All of them ended up laying low with their tails between legs.

“Boss, if I am as powerful as you, of course, she wouldn’t be a problem. But…” Qi w.a.n.gsun heaved a sigh.

“It’s ok, no big deal. If you really don’t like her, then just tell her. I can go with you if that makes you feel better.” Chen Fan padded his friend’s shoulder.

“Thank you, boss.” Qi w.a.n.gsun gave Chen Fan an appreciative look.

Although he didn’t know the full extent of Chen Fan’s power, he wagered that Chen Fan’s t.i.tle as the Master Chen of Jiang Bei and his huge wealth in Hong Kong should be able to make Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa turn down her strident demeanor a notch.

The two didn’t waste time, they packed up their luggage and went on their way.

When they walked out of the dorm, the Business School was already wrapped in a thick white blanket of snow. Chen Fan called a taxi and headed toward the Ginza Club.

The Ginza Club was a j.a.panese style private club built by a j.a.panese businessman in Jin City.

From the elevated entrance, the wooden plank floor, the Bamboo bush, and the paper window, to the manicured garden and the maroon lanterns hanging from the low roof, everything in the club was built according to the j.a.panese tradition. The moment they entered the club, they felt they had pa.s.sed through time and s.p.a.ce and arrived in j.a.pan during the Edo Period. The waitresses in the club were all from j.a.pan and looked caring and attractive as a typical young j.a.panese wife would.

The two were lead into the club by a hostess wearing a magnificent kimono.

Chen Fan scanned the club using his Divine Will as he walked on. Suddenly, he registered something was off.

The rooms in the club were heated and therefore despite the snowy weather outside, it was cozy in here. After their guide slid a wooden door open, they were greeted by the back of a girl in white dress half kneeling on the floor, preparing teas for the guests. Although they could only see her back, her breathtaking curves and the porcelain skin on her hands suggested her extraordinary beauty.

Beside the woman sat a middle-aged man in a samurai outfit.

The man’s face was serious. He pressed on his wakizas.h.i.+ that was laid sideways across his lap as a deadly light glinted in his eyes from time to time. The man looked at Qi w.a.n.gsun and nodded before he looked away and saw Chen Fan. Seeing Chen Fan’s unremarkable appearance, a hint of contempt flashed across his face.

The same brawny man who had been taking to Qi w.a.n.gsun was sitting across the table from the two j.a.panese people. He nodded at Qi w.a.n.gsun but seemed surprised by Chen Fan’s appearance.

“Qi San, you are finally here.”

The woman turned around, revealing a cold face with exquisite features.

“Miss Yukis.h.i.+ro, I am here to tell you that our marriage proposal was made by our parents against our will. We are both adults, so we have the right to choose to forfeit the engagement.”

Qi w.a.n.gsun sat down beside the Brawny man and spoke up.

“Qi San, May I need to remind you that the Yukis.h.i.+ro family had been dominating Kyushu island for over a hundred fifty years. Our first family lord was the Daimyo of Kyushu, highly regarded by the emperor of j.a.pan himself. This marriage is of utmost importance to the Yukis.h.i.+ro family and we will not walk back on our words. It’s a shame, to be honest.”

The woman said as she poured the tea from a teapot into a couple of small delicate bamboo cups.

“But we are living in the twentieth century now. How do we still need to care about dated tradition?” Qi w.a.n.gsun asked impatiently.

“May I ask if Qi San had already fallen in love with another woman? Is that why you want to be gone so badly?” Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa locked her gaze onto Qi w.a.n.gsun that gave the latter a cold s.h.i.+ver.

Chen Fan noticed the unwavering calm confidence in Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa ever since the conversation started. Her mind was keen and her will strong. They were unaffected by anything around her. It was evident that she possessed powerful Soul Energy that allowed her to even read people’s minds.

“No, I didn’t—”

Qi w.a.n.gsun’s protest was cut short by Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa’s sudden clapping of hands. A wooden side door slid open revealing a girl hanging down from the ceiling. Her body was bound by thick ropes that restricted her movement.

“Xiao Jin?”

Qi w.a.n.gsun panicked the moment he saw the girl’s face.

The girl hanging in the air was Liu Xiaojin. She was supposed to be back at home with her family now. Her mouth was gagged by a piece of white rag and the moment she saw Qi w.a.n.gsun, tears started to trickle down from her cheeks, as she let out m.u.f.fled cries.

“Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa, what is the meaning of this?”

Qi w.a.n.gsun slammed the table and glared at Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa hotly.
