You biker gangs run rampant on the streets and extort money from seemingly easy-to-bully office workers. How are we supposed to do business?
The headless dog was naturally no match for such a behemoth, so it had previously reached an agreement with the Morning Star Group to deliberately avoid their territory when it went on a rampage.
And now, the Morning Star Group has come knocking again? At this most vulnerable moment for the headless dog?
Eight Eyes Heart composed himself, swallowed hard, and said, "Then I wonder what's going on with the Morning Star Group now?"
Kuroki Keisaki looked around. The pupils that flickered in the dim light seemed to have a desire and lust that wanted to devour her.
She shook her head slightly, then looked at Ba Muxin and said, "The headless dogs surrounded Yiyan Private Academy today, right?"
"That is..." Eight Eyes hesitated, Yi
It's impossible for Yan Private Academy to have any connection with Morning Star Group. What exactly is this woman named Kuroki trying to say?
"That's the headless dog's private matter. We have no intention of storming the campus; we're just looking for someone."
"Does this also fall under the jurisdiction of the Morning Star Group?"
Kuroki Keisaki shook his head and said, "I think you've misunderstood, sir."
"The information was given to me by the Morning Star Group, but I am not here on behalf of the Morning Star Group."
"I'm here to deliver a message." Kuroki Keizaki smiled at Yagami Shin, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain. "Gentlemen, you are all so ordinary and self-degrading. You should leave Tokyo."
"What did you say?!" Yagami stood up abruptly, clenching his fists.
"Wait, A-Yo!" Yagami Shin reached out to stop Yagami No, took a deep breath, and looked at Kuroki Keisaki, saying, "If this isn't the Morning Star Group's intention, then who are you representing?"
"Let me make it clear beforehand that now that things have come to this... you should understand that the headless dog will fight to the death with anyone."
"A fight to the death?" Kuroki Keisaki looked around in surprise as if she had heard a joke, and said, "Oh dear... I really didn't notice. I'm so sorry, after all, the boys here look like complete... good-for-nothings."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present with precision.
The air froze instantly. Ba Muxin stared at the woman in front of her in disbelief, as if wondering why she had such audacity.
Soon, the frozen air was shattered by the boiling rage.
"What are you kidding!?"
"Captain Eight Eyes! Kill her!"
"Want to start a war, you bastard!"
"Where did this audacious guy come from?"
Yagino could no longer sit still. He strode forward and stood directly in front of Kuroki Keisaki, roaring, "Hey! Woman, didn't you think about the consequences of saying such things!"
Kuroki Keisaki looked at the burly man in front of her and said with a helpless smirk, "See, this is why I look down on you... This kind of arrogant attitude is a typical example of being all bark and no bite."
"All bark and no bite?!" Yamu Ye gasped for breath. "Don't think you can get away with this just because you're a woman!"
"Wait! A-Ye!" Ya-Mu Xin frowned and stopped him: "Be careful, it might be a trap!"
Yagino turned to look at his older brother and clicked his tongue, saying, "Brother, even a headless dog isn't so pathetic that it wouldn't get angry if someone provoked it like this!"
Chifumi Asakura and Kyujiro Senya, standing to the side, also stared intently at Keisaki Kuroki, looking ready to make a move at any moment.
Ignoring her younger brother's words, Yagami looked at Kuroki Keisaki and continued, "Going to such lengths to get us to make a move, it's obviously a trap, Kuroki-san."
"This kind of low-level provocation won't work on us. You might as well say something serious." Yagami Shin pointed at Kuroki Keisaki: "Who exactly are you representing? What do you want?"
"Breaking in suddenly and telling us to leave is part of a provocation tactic, isn't it? Stop with the beating around the bush, just say what you mean!"
Upon hearing this, Kuroki Keisaki's eyes gradually dimmed, her bright eyes seeming to suddenly lose their light, turning into a gloomy abyss.
She pursed her lips, revealing a meaningful smile, and finally said, "Haven't I made myself very clear?"
"You are to leave Tokyo. This is the final notice. This is not a plea or negotiation, but a formal notification."
"If you don't leave, you'll suffer a terrible fate."
Yagami scoffed, "Still making statements you don't understand, Kuroki-san."
"You don't say where you're from, or who you are, and you just spout such nonsensical things." Eight Eyes Heart seemed a little disappointed and waved his hand: "Never mind, a headless dog won't be any worse off."
"Take her away, consider it part of tonight's entertainment, do whatever you want with her."
Yagami sighed, but didn't notice that after he said "Do whatever you want with me," Kuroki Keisaki lowered her head.
From an angle where no one could see, a sinister smile crept across his face.
Chapter 242 Kuroki Keizaki's Choice
For Keisaki Kuroki, acknowledging her past is not difficult.
I am a clumsy woman from the countryside.
She was an unfilial daughter who knew her elders had passed away but never went back home.
She was a hostess who made money by selling her body.
Her life was so decadent, filled with the glitz and glamour of rouge, yet beneath it lay the stench of tobacco and alcohol, the dirtiest side of the city.
But Kuroki Keisaki accepted these past events, which were considered completely shameful in Tokyo, both during her life and after her death.
It's true that I'm living a terrible life, but that doesn't matter.
Even if I'm a hostess, I can still be a close confidante to those other women and still gain genuine affection from them.
I may be a little slow-witted, but this city is so huge that one can survive without much effort.
I have too many regrets from the past. If I were to dwell on those regrets and pain, how could I go on living?
What?
After her death, having completed her revenge, Kuroki Keisaki felt at peace. From that moment on, she felt that her life and death were no longer important.
But... deep down, I still yearn to live again.
Therefore, Kuroki Keizaki disregarded her dignity and submitted to Toudou.
To accept one's past with equanimity, and even one's death with equanimity, so that one can once again enjoy life as a human being as a deceased person—this is Kuroki Keisaki's wish.
Dou Tang fulfilled her wish, arranging accommodation for her and taking care of all her worries. Even though it was just a small favor, it was a completely new beginning for Kuroki Keisaki.
As for Kuroki Keizaki's feelings for Toudou, they may be slowly changing.
At first, Kuroki Keisaki was filled with awe; she admired Toudou's strength and kindness.
However, after meeting Yangping and understanding what Doutang did for the bald delinquents, Kuroki Keizaki felt not only the same awe as when facing a master, but also a deep respect from the heart.
Kuroki Keisaki also felt deeply for those bald delinquents. When she was working as a hostess, she met many younger colleagues who had similar family backgrounds to the delinquents. They were born under pressure and were very likely to be driven to despair by it.
In the past, no one cared about these people's feelings, but now, at least for now, Dou Tang does care.
This is why Keizaki Kuroki decided to come to the gathering of the headless dogs alone.
Originally, Dou Tang's idea was for her to protect the fake Kiryu and let the fake Kiryu take the lead in dealing with the effects of the headless dog. If necessary, she could also bring along the bald delinquents.
When Kuroki Keisaki thought of Yohei's silly appearance, she didn't even have the courage to hurt him. She couldn't even imagine the boys who called her "Big Sister" being covered in bandages.
Just as she had stood up for her friends in life, Keisaki Kuroki chose to stand up for them.
This time, however, she was not a weak woman with no power, but an evil spirit with power.
She had initially felt a little hesitant, but after hearing Eight Eyes's insane orders and seeing the boiling evil in the eyes of the biker gang members around her, her last bit of psychological burden disappeared.
She lowered her head and grinned maliciously.
Then, he slowly raised his head, and his sinister grin transformed into a radiant smile.
That smile made Ba Mu's heart skip a beat.
Why... can she still laugh?
Kuroki Keisaki slowly stood up, but it was more like she was floating. Her soft white dress swayed slightly, and her long black hair spread out like a waterfall behind her.
She turned to look at Yagino in front of her and slowly extended her hand.
Yagino instinctively tried to back away, but Kuroki Keisaki's hand suddenly sped up, turning into a bolt of lightning, and grabbed his still-intact hand.
Then... a gentle and elegant sway.
“Crack, crack…”
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Blood splattered, and pale bones pierced through flesh, shattering into grotesque shapes.
Under Kuroki Keisaki's strange power, Yagino's entire forearm was twisted into a bloody pretzel!
He collapsed to the ground screaming in agony. In the end, he was just an ordinary person, and the excruciating pain from such devastating physical damage caused him to faint instantly.
The spurting blood stained her long dress, Kuroki Keisaki's delicate neck, and half of her cheek.
With blood streaming down her face, Kuroki Keisaki stared wide-eyed at Yagami Kokoro, still smiling gently like a girl next door.
In an instant, the entire ballroom fell into a silence caused by extreme shock.
Kuroki Keisaki slowly raised her right hand, and blood flowed down her palm, into her clothes from her wrist, revealing scarlet lines on her sleeve that looked like a beautiful stain.
"That's why I told you, you bunch of guys are utterly useless compared to my kids." Kuroki Keisaki pointed a finger at Yameko, blood dripping from her fingertip. "And you call yourself the older brother? Now that your little brother is injured, don't you want revenge?"
She placed her right hand on her heart, completely unconcerned about the bloody handprint on her chest, and put on a weak and helpless look, blinking her eyes: "Oh dear, I'm just a weak woman. If all of you terrifying bikers charged at me together, I wouldn't be able to handle it."
Eight Eyes took a deep breath, stood up, gritted his teeth, and roared, "Attack! Kill her! Kill her!"
"I'll take full responsibility for the consequences! Kill her, no matter what it takes!"
Because the lights in the dance hall were too dim, many of the bikers didn't see exactly what happened to Yameno's hand. They only saw Kuroki Keisaki grab Yameno's hand, and then Yameno screamed and fell to the ground.
Therefore, many people subconsciously assumed that it was Kuroki Keisaki who had used the knife.
With Hachimoku Shin's command, the biker gang went completely berserk. They were already annoyed by the provocation and were seething with anger.
Hearing that someone would take responsibility and that it didn't matter if someone died, they got carried away and pulled out their weapons from their backs, rushing to the center of the dance floor.
Kuroki Keisaki looked around, gently flicked her hand to wipe away the blood, and then raised a finger to her lips.
She looked at Ba Muxin and chuckled softly, "Don't run away, okay? I'll come find you after I've dealt with your friends."
Eight Eyes took a deep breath and stood there, stunned.
Bōsōzoku members jumped onto the dance floor from all directions, brandishing sticks and short swords, and charged towards Kuroki Keisaki.
And so, Kuroki Keisaki's light laugh once again turned into a sinister, malevolent grin.
Chapter 243 The Fearless Woman
Kuroki Keizaki doesn't know martial arts.
To be honest, she doesn't even know how to fight.
In her view, violence between people, from the bravado of delinquent youths to the ruthlessness of gangsters, is incomprehensible.
What do you gain from attacking each other? Do you gain pain and satisfy your own desires at the same time?
Seizing territory and fighting for property were somewhat obscure and difficult for Kuroki Keizaki, who had once been a weak woman.
So at this moment, when Kuroki Keisaki saw a large group of people surrounding her, she was still a little flustered.
Damn it... so many people.
I'm so afraid I might accidentally kill them.
Be sure to control your strength!
Actually, Kuroki Keisaki didn't intend to twist Yameno's arm into a pretzel. In her opinion, she only applied a little force and caused such a serious injury, and she even felt a little guilty.
But in order to maintain her powerful and mysterious image, Kuroki Keisaki pretended to be nonchalant, and even seemed somewhat bloodthirsty.
The fastest biker was already in front of her. She pursed her lips slightly, looking somewhat nervous, and reached out, pushing the man in front of her directly.
"Oh!"
With a muffled thud, the man holding the baseball bat flew backward, rolled several times on the ground, and tumbled off the edge of the dance floor.
Kuroki Keisaki was taken aback.
But she immediately realized that she couldn't just stand there; she should keep looking cool, so she looked at the others with a cold expression.
Oh right, Kiryu-kun said that if you want to deprive someone of their fighting ability without killing them, you only need to hit their upper arm!
Upper arm... um.
Once she identified her target, Kuroki Keisaki's eyes lit up, and she slowly walked towards the approaching biker gang.
