Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 416 The School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard

"If we don't give those three thugs a good beating, they'll probably be three corpses before they even touch your daughter, right?"

"Haha, you're joking. I'm doing legitimate business now."

Di Xing turned to look at the Godfather-style car and the red rose pinned to the lapel of Aragaki Ryu's black suit. This was unmistakably a Corleone-esque figure; who would believe he only did legitimate business?

"Besides expressing my gratitude, I've come to discuss something with you. As I mentioned earlier, my daughter wants to live a normal life and doesn't want bodyguards, so I'd like to ask you..."

Di Xing appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly brimming with excitement: Is it coming? She asked me to secretly protect her daughter—is the classic trope of the school beauty's personal bodyguard about to unfold?

"I want you to...play the villain and scare my daughter every day!"

Di Xing: "???"

Di Xing stood frozen in shock, the black car pulling up beside him.

"You...you shouldn't have hired me to be your daughter's bodyguard!?"

"What are you talking about? My daughter already had bodyguards escort her to school today, all thanks to you!"

"Thanks to me?"

"Yes, it turns out that Ai'ai not only refused to have bodyguards with her, but also refused to take the family car to school, insisting on walking to school herself."

"But after you rescued her the day before yesterday, and then the vice principal chased her home, she kept pressing her little hands to her chest and saying, 'It was so scary, so scary.' After that, she had the housekeeper drive her to school, and there were security guards with her."

"It must be because you're so terrifying that she had no choice but to do this."

Di Xing was speechless. "Tell me, is there any possibility that it was those three thugs who robbed him, and not me?"

“I know, but I know my daughter’s strength even better. Those three thugs, even if the bodyguards in the shadows don’t make a move, my daughter can kill them four times before they even encounter her. After all, there was a time when she really admired her old man, me.”

As Aragaki Ryu was lost in happy memories, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Uh, but I was acting as a hero," Di Xing still put on a last stand.

"That's right, but your aura was too intimidating. My daughter thought you were going to rob her any minute, which is why she was so scared that she called security to get a private car."

"But if he can't see you, he'll probably forget his fear quickly and revert to his rebellious state. So I'd like you to show your face in front of her often, and it would be best if you could even scare her a little."

Di Xing "......"

Di Xing, Di Xing! You always do things unpredictably, now look what you've got! Karma's finally caught up with you!

Everyone else is a bodyguard for the beautiful school beauty, enjoying a super-satisfying, slap-in-the-face, and pretentious romance. And you? The school beauty's personal villain? Are you kidding me?

Thinking of this, Di Xing resolutely refused, "No, I'm a gentleman, how could I do something like this to scare girls?"

"I know this is difficult for you, but I will give you a condition you can't refuse."

After Ryu Aragaki finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the front window of the black car immediately rolled down. The person in the passenger seat took out a large box.

Di Xing scoffed, "Trying to bribe me with money? Sorry, I'm quite wealthy myself, why would I bother with something so trivial..."

The man in black opened the box he was carrying, and instantly Di Xing was completely bathed in gold.

"Would you really give up the chance to help a loving father fulfill his wish just because of a little pride? Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm short of money, it's just that I understand your deep love for your daughter, so I'll take this job!" Di Xing, whose expression changed in the blink of an eye, quickly took the box.

"Then it'll be a pleasure doing business with you," Aragaki Kuma said with an elegant smile, then gestured to the driver, and the black cab prepared to start.

"Wait a minute, I have another request," Di Xing suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Oh?"

"I have a girl here who is very skilled and of school age. I would like to ask you to help her get into the Duel Academy. She can protect your daughter while she's at school."

After a moment's thought, Aragaki Ryu said, "Alright, that little girl from the Sakura family wears a samurai helmet every day, she can't even see herself clearly, let alone take care of my daughter. Send me a picture of that girl, and I'll take care of it for you."

And so, Aragaki Ryu's black sedan disappeared into the morning mist.

After dealing with this matter, Di Xing strolled back to his bedroom, picked up Ruan Nuo, Melo, and Emilia who were sleeping on his bed, and took a comfortable nap.

Just as the alarm clock rang again, a message from Aragaki Ryu arrived—Tianxuan's complete set of enrollment materials. That old man's speed is truly impressive.

Di Xing led Tian Xuan to the school gate. Tian Xuan looked up at the school gate and asked, "Is this the Duel Academy?"

"That's right, but the academies here are divided into levels, so we can't attend classes together. You need to be extra careful."

Ai Aragaki is a student at Sheung Wan University, so the information that Ryu Aragaki provided for Tianxuan would naturally make her a student at Sheung Wan University.

But Tianxuan should be relatively safe within the school, right? That Saint Statue Hunter couldn't possibly have infiltrated the school and become a teacher, could he? Hahaha, how could that be?

Just then, a luxury limousine sped up and came to a smooth stop at the school gate. Ai Aragaki flung open the car door, grabbed a piece of bread, and jumped out, yelling, "I'm going to be late! I'm going to be late!"

Then she saw Di Xing and Tian Xuan standing at the school gate.

"You, you!" Ai Aragaki was so frightened that she dropped the bread in her mouth, pointing at Di Xing in terror. The kitten she was holding by the neck in her right hand also bristled.

Seeing this, adhering to his professional attitude of doing what he's paid for, Di Xing immediately put on a villainous face and took a step forward.

"Hey, isn't this the girl I saved a couple of days ago? You didn't even thank me before I ran away. It's not good to owe people favors, so how are you planning to repay me?"

Following in the footsteps of his predecessor Malik, Di Xing slowly approached Ai Aragaki. He always felt that pretending to be a villain was much easier for him than pretending to be gentle. Why was that?

Ai Aragaki's bodyguards had all received instructions from Ryu Aragaki not to hinder Di Xing's actions, so they all remained still.

Di Xing continued grinning maliciously, "Since you're not bad looking, why don't you offer yourself to me?"

"Thump!" Di Xing was struck hard by Tian Xuan from behind.

Don't scare the little girl!

Di Xing had a huge bump on his head, and smoke was even coming out of it.

However, this was also part of his plan. He deliberately didn't tell Tianxuan about Aragaki Ryu's request, wanting Tianxuan to appear more genuine when she hit him in front of Aragaki Ai for the first time.

His only miscalculation was... he forgot that Tianxuan's grip was so strong!
