"Mr. Gao Kui, try this one."
Kazama Ruri handed Gao Kui another cocktail; this time she only mixed one. Gao Kui took the drink and drank it all in one gulp, still saying it was delicious.
Kazama Ruri continued mixing drinks and said, "In order to catch up with the older brother who stole all of my adoptive father's favor, and in order to get my adoptive father's attention, I started to work hard in the countryside. During that time, I did some wrong things, hurt some people, and even developed a mental illness myself."
One day, my older brother returned. Bearing the will of our adoptive father, he expelled me from the family, pushing me into the abyss, and afterwards subjected me to all sorts of harassment and persecution.
Only Genji knew that Kazama Ruri's "pushing into the abyss" was not a metaphor.
"Liuli-kun's brother is a real scoundrel!"
The girl in Genji's arms was probably a fan of Kazama Ruri. She clenched her fists and angrily cursed her idol's brother: "He must want to take over your adoptive father's property, so he bewitched your adoptive father and expelled you from the family."
Such greedy and inhuman men are all too common in wealthy families!
"No, I don't think my brother is a bad man who wants to seize the family property."
Kazama Ruri smiled and offered an explanation for her brother, but her expression suddenly turned cold as she glanced casually at Genjiro: "He's probably like my adoptive father; he doesn't actually love me that much."
Genji lowered his head, not daring to meet Kazama Ruri's gaze. His eyes were no longer sharp as he said, "Is it possible that the mistake you made was too serious, and that your brother was forced to do it because of the family's rules?"
"Yuan-kun!"
Before Kazama Ruri could answer, the girl in Genji's arms launched an attack on him: "How can you speak up for that bad man? Ruri-kun, no, Ruri-san is so pitiful, she even has a mental illness."
It must be because her brother doesn't like her, so he didn't even say a word in her defense.
"Yuan-kun, are you saying that bad man is your friend because you're speaking up for him?"
"Well, it's not impossible, after all, Gen-kun is a big shot..."
The girls in the private room were all criticizing Kazama Ruri's brother, their values following his appearance, and they felt sorry for Kazama Ruri's tragic experience.
“No, how could I possibly be friends with Miss Ruri’s brother?” Genji smiled awkwardly.
The Kassel trio realized that there must be some hidden story behind this, and that Genji might really have some connection with Kazama Ruri.
Could it be that he is Kazama Ruri's older brother?
It's not impossible, but then again, if Kazama Ruri is Genji's sister, then she's probably also a half-blood. Is it possible for a half-blood to end up as a male escort or bar hostess?
It shouldn't be that bad, right?
Or rather, the two are adopted siblings without blood relation. Genjiro is a mixed-race person, while Genjiro is not, which is why Genjiro was not valued and was expelled from the Snake-Headed Eight Families.
As they mentally deduced the relationship between Genjiro and Kazama Ruri, the three from Kassel exchanged glances once more, confirming their thoughts with their eyes.
That should be about it.
Based on this calculation, the possibility that Genjiro is a psychopathic killer and a hypocrite with a heart of stone is greatly reduced, but the possibility that he is a cold-blooded and ruthless hypocrite is greatly increased.
She's just an ordinary girl with a mental illness, and you're unwilling to support her, unwilling to spend a penny on her, yet you make her go out and work as a gigolo and hostess, eventually ending up in your own nightclub.
He even felt ashamed to see his adopted sister working as a hostess and harbored murderous intent towards her. He was truly cold-blooded and ruthless!
The three members of the Kassel trio once again glared at Genjiro with a shared sense of righteous indignation.
The image of the young master of the Snake Clan in the three people's minds has changed somewhat, but it seems that nothing has changed; he is still not a good person.
Kazama Ruri handed a freshly mixed cocktail to Takagi and said, "Abandoned by my family and brother, I can't work in a normal industry. I can only work as a host under a stage name. Even so, I can only work for a very short period of time each year."
If my heartless and ungrateful brother finds out I'm here, that I'm doing such lowly work, he'll surely kill me out of shame and rage.
As she spoke, Kazama Ruri shed tears again.
Genji knew that what Kazama Ruri said was all metaphorical.
Working as a male escort in the sex industry refers to joining the Demon Clan. Since Kazama Ruri didn't die but was never found, she must have joined the Demon Clan.
Only the Demon Clan can protect Kazama Ruri.
"This is absolutely no excuse for your self-degradation."
Genjiro, with a stern face, responded to Kazama Ruri with the same metaphor: "Does being abandoned and persecuted by your family mean you're going to work in the sex industry? You have absolutely no self-respect!"
Chapter 121: Bright Lights and Feasting
How could you join the Fierce Ghosts and become their accomplices?
Since you're not dead, you should have come to find me, or at least contacted me privately to let me know you're still alive. Having survived an execution, you've at least given your family some semblance of closure.
It's not that I'm unwilling to sacrifice my own brother for the greater good; I've already taken action. It's just that Heaven spared my brother, Yuan Zhinü, so please stop talking about a second execution.
I will make sure he doesn't cause any more trouble.
Genjiro felt that Kazama Ruri should be able to understand his metaphor.
Before Kazama Ruri could respond, Caesar couldn't sit still any longer. His azure eyes flashed with a captivating golden light as he grabbed the Ebony gun from the table, cocked it with a "click," and stepped onto the table to stand in front of Genjiro, holding the gun to Genjiro's forehead from above.
"You damn beast!"
Like an enraged lion, Caesar roared as he reprimanded Genji: "How dare you speak to Kazama Ruri like that? Even I, even my father, know that beautiful girls are meant to be cherished and loved."
"Apologize to Kazama Ruri immediately, or I'll shoot you dead, you bastard, even if it means going to war with the Snake Clan."
Fuck!
A beast like Liu Yuanzhisheng only knows how to make rice expensive!
The girls were stunned and didn't dare to move. Even some people outside the private room noticed the commotion.
Gao Kui and Chu Zihang were not surprised by Caesar's reaction; the eldest son of the Gattuso family was indeed a man of strong emotions. Compared to Lancelot of the Lionheart Society, Caesar Gattuso's personality was closer to Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake in the Arthurian legend.
Upright and incorruptible, gentle and refined, charming yet devoted... he was practically a protagonist straight out of a medieval chivalric romance novel. Naturally, Caesar also possessed the "cherishing beauty" spirit most admired by knights.
Even if it's an enemy or rival, as long as the other party is an outstanding woman, Caesar will uphold the spirit of chivalry and give her fairness and respect that ordinary people cannot understand.
If he treats his enemies this way, then it goes without saying that he would treat outstanding girls who are not his adversaries with the same utmost care. He even dared to tell his words of power to a beautiful girl he had just met.
Caesar could not tolerate the fact that such a good girl as Kazama Ruri had been insulted by Genjiro in this way.
"You don't understand anything."
Genjiro also ignited his golden eyes, the golden flames in them burning hotter and brighter than Caesar's. He looked up at Caesar without changing his expression and said, "You don't understand anything at all."
He's a ghost!
He is not a high-risk hybrid whose bloodline might go out of control, but an extremely evil demon whose bloodline has already gone out of control, a demon who has committed numerous crimes in Shikatori Town.
One more step forward and you'll be the utterly irrational Deadpool.
"Then tell us exactly what happened!" Caesar said, enunciating each word clearly, his index finger gripping the trigger slightly.
Yuan Zhisheng was speechless for a moment, unable to express himself.
Man, what can I say?
What can I say? That Kazama Ruri is a demon? That Japan has the Demon Clan besides the Jade Serpent Clan? That the Jade Serpent Clan's bloodline actually has a major flaw?
This is something that Kassel must never know.
Hybrid factions and families around the world, whenever they talk about hybrids whose bloodlines pose a threat, wish they could eliminate them as soon as possible. The Secret Society is no exception, and the Abraham Blood Pact in Kassel exists for this very reason.
Once you cross that line, there's no turning back; the only outcome is becoming a Deadpool. Naturally, such a hybrid would be hated by all hybrids.
Therefore, it is absolutely crucial to prevent Kassel from knowing that all mixed-race individuals in Japan suffer from genetic defects.
"Can't say anything more, huh? Can't you even come up with a lie to cover things up for you?"
Caesar pulled the hammer with his thumb and fiercely reprimanded Genji under the gun: "I don't know what happened, I only know that if you don't apologize, a dozen bullets will be inserted into your empty head!"
Yuan Zhisheng was on the verge of tears. What the hell was going on? How did I suddenly become someone that everyone and even dogs disliked?
Gao Kui continued drinking with a smile, while Chu Zihang remained silent, seemingly unconcerned that Caesar had shot and killed the young master of the Japanese Snake Clan.
"Hey, why is Mr. Caesar pointing a gun at Mr. Gen? Is it because of me?"
At the crucial moment, it was Kazama Ruri who pulled Caesar back: "Mr. Caesar, please calm down. No matter what, Genji is a big shot in Japan."
If I have caused you any unhappiness or trouble, I will feel guilty.
"Miss Kazama Ruri, this matter has nothing to do with you. I just simply can't stand the sight of this beast that is worse than a pig or a dog."
Caesar gently comforted Kazama Ruri in Japanese, then forcefully nudged Genji's head: "I'll say it one last time, now, apologize!"
Genji looked at Kazama Ruri.
The slender girl held Caesar's hand, her gentle eyes filled with fragility. If Genji hadn't known Kazama Ruri's true nature beforehand, he probably would have thought she was some kind of helpless, good girl.
"I apologize, I spoke without thinking. Please forgive me, Ms. Kazama Ruri. I did not mean to offend you..."
Genjiro pushed aside the gun in Caesar's hand, stood up, and bowed deeply to Kazama Ruri.
This loss was well-deserved.
After not seeing him for several years, I never expected that his younger brother would grow up to be like this, even resorting to such crooked and unorthodox methods as honey traps.
I, Yuan Zhisheng, am completely convinced.
Caesar snorted coldly, unloaded the bullets from the gun, slammed the Ebony back onto the table, and pointed the gun at Genjiro before sitting back down, too lazy to even glance at that beast again.
Aside from that, Caesar didn't say or do anything unnecessary, such as asking Kazama Ruri if she needed financial assistance...
Kazama Ruri is clearly Gao Kui's girl. As for the hero saving the damsel in distress and offering help in times of need, Gao Kui is not lacking in ability and resources, so he wouldn't steal the limelight.
He simply disliked Genji and was infuriated by Genji's inhuman and despicable remarks. He did admire Kazama Ruri, but it was only a casual admiration, not a deep-seated liking or love.
The only person Caesar wanted to betray was Chen Motong, whom Gao Kui disliked.
Kazama Ruri picked up a glass of freshly mixed cocktail and handed it to Caesar: "Mr. Caesar, this is for you. Thank you so much for speaking up for me. You are truly a very righteous person."
"Actually, I don't have much of a sense of justice. In fact, many people think I'm just a spoiled brat who does whatever he wants because his family is rich and powerful."
I just can't stand seeing pretty girls being humiliated. Pretty girls are angels who came to earth; they shouldn't be treated like that.
Caesar took the drink and downed it in one gulp: "A delicious Long Island Iced Tea, just a bit too strong. Ms. Kazama Ruri, your bartending skills are as outstanding as your beauty and character."
Of course it's strong; this wine was originally prepared for Gao Kui.
Kazama Ruri smiled sweetly: "I'm glad Mr. Caesar likes it."
After a few drinks, the atmosphere in the private room returned to normal, or at least it seemed so.
"Yabai, Mr. Caesar's eyes were really fierce just now, I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak."
"Yes, Mr. Caesar must be a scion of a top tycoon or a powerful noble family. His demeanor at that moment was truly astonishing."
