Looking at the man in front of him, Duanmu Huai was almost furious.

Damn it, I don't even have a single violation record in this world, why do you all want me to go down the wrong path?

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm the Second-in-Command of the Hawk Moon Group, Tezuka Renichi. State your name! No matter who you are, you're not allowed to cause trouble on the Hawk Moon Group's turf!"

"I'm not some Yakuza."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"Open your dog eyes wide and take a good look, I'm a detective!"

"......…Huh?"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's response, not only did the man look astonished, but even the Yakuza members who were originally lying on the ground, crying father and mother after being chopped by Mianmu Zuoniao, also looked up, staring at him in disbelief. Seeing their expressions, Duanmu Huai felt even more displeased inside.

"What are you looking at! Do I look like a Yakuza?!

"I see."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's self-introduction, Tezuka Renichi nodded.

"So you're the Extreme Path Detective... I've heard of your great name, I didn't expect you'd come here."

"That's right."

Although not fond of that nickname, Duanmu Huai still nodded.

"You get it now, right? I'm not here to wreck your place or grab territory, I'm here for an investigation! Alright, if there's nothing else, we'll be on our way!"

After speaking, Duanmu Huai planned to leave with Mianmu Zuoniao, but at that moment, more men in black suits arrived, blocking their way.

"Hold on, you attacked our Hawk Moon Group members and think you can just leave like that? It's not that easy!"

"Oh ho?"

Seeing the black suits in front of him, Duanmu Huai showed a sinister smile, then clenched his fist.

"If you're not afraid to die, go ahead, let me see what kind of skills you have that make you dare to bark in front of me!"

"...…Ugh...…!"

"Yikes...…!"

Watching the enraged Duanmu Huai, the men in black suits also changed their expressions drastically, some even immediately sat on the ground with weak knees. The rest turned pale; as Yakuza, they were always fierce to others, but... this man in front of them felt a hundred times more intimidating than the bosses in their group! Just being stared at by him felt terrifying as if they were about to be killed!

"Stop!"

As the atmosphere turned tense, Tezuka Renichi shouted, then stepped forward, looking at Duanmu Huai. Subsequently... Tezuka Renichi placed his hands on his knees and bowed deeply to Duanmu Huai.

"Second-in-Command!?"

"What are you doing!?"

Seeing Tezuka Renichi bow to Duanmu Huai, everyone was quite surprised, and Duanmu Huai also raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"I apologize for earlier offenses, it was my subordinates' mistake, and I am here to apologize on their behalf!"

"So? Why are you looking for me?"

Duanmu Huai wasn't stupid; offering kindness without reason usually meant ulterior motives, and Mianmu Zuoniao had also injured several of their men, yet these Yakuza could still remain calm and talk to him, even bow to him, saying there's nothing more would be impossible for him to believe.

"In fact, we have heard of the Extreme Path Detective. Seeing you today, your reputation is well-deserved. Therefore... we would like to ask for your help with a matter!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Huai became interested; if the Yakuza were willing to bow to him, it must not be an ordinary case.

"What is it?"

"Please, follow me."

"...…Alright, lead the way."

Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, deciding to hear what these Yakuza wanted from him, and then decide. Thus, he drove and followed their car away from the foot of the hill, traveling along the road. They then took Duanmu Huai and the others to a construction site. Although it was called a construction site, the workers there were all muscular, fierce-looking individuals clearly up to no good… of course, Duanmu Huai felt one shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

Who knows if these fierce-looking guys might have a soft, pink, bunny girl heart inside?

Tezuka Renichi led the two into a still unfinished building, then waved off the surrounding subordinates.

"Sorry, we can't properly entertain you."

"I'm not interested in that, tell me, what do you want with us?"

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

Staring at Duanmu Huai, Tezuka Renichi's expression turned serious.

"I hope you can help find someone."

As he spoke, Tezuka Renichi took out a photo of a woman in her twenties.

"Her name is Yingyue Mio, the daughter of the Hawk Moon Group's leader, but she disappeared a few days ago."

"Explain in detail."

Duanmu Huai glanced at the photo, then spoke calmly, and Tezuka Renichi nodded and began to explain.

Actually, originally a Yakuza organization like the Hawk Moon Group had no interest in a small place like Yangchen Town. They came here because of a certain development plan—the higher-ups planned to construct some large project here, requiring the expropriation of part of Yangchen Town's land. However, the residents of Yangchen Town were very resistant, and the expropriation work was not going smoothly. So the bosses hired the Hawk Moon Group to handle the expropriation work.

This kind of thing was usual for the Yakuza. For instance, if a real estate developer wants to acquire a building, they would have the Yakuza harass the residents and shops inside, making them fed up enough to leave voluntarily. If there are those who absolutely refuse, then they should not blame the Yakuza for not being courteous.
