Takamine Rinji never liked going to places like red-light districts. Even back during his ti fighting all over the place, his subordinates would often ask, "Lieutenant, wanna go blow off so steam sowhere?" and he always flat-out refused.
Of course he wouldn't go—he was just a kid back then.
Now that he was sixteen, he still had no interest in such places. He didn't understand why his grandfather was always so passionate about them either.
The second reason he hated these places? Because the mont he arrived, this always happened:
"Aww, what a cute little boy~ Wanna go have fun with big sis?"
"He's really adorable~"
"Let pinch your cheeks~"
A bunch of scantily clad won crowded around him. One mature-looking woman even hugged him from behind, smothering his head with her overly large breasts.
"…Ladies, I'm underage."
"Ehh? Coming to a place like this before turning legal? You naughty little thing~"
"Here's my number. Call if you ever want to play privately~"
"..."
Gold Entertainnt Club—flagship venue of the Gold Pleasure Group—was essentially a high-end brothel.
The won inside were all quite attractive. No wonder Grandpa liked it here so much.
Rinji swatted their hands away and patiently asked, "Excuse , where is the president's office?"
"Fifth floor. Take the elevator, then turn right."
"Thanks."
Breaking free from the crowd, Rinji rushed into the elevator and hit the button for the fifth floor.
He sniffed himself—any semblance of a masculine aura (not that he had much) had been completely drowned out by their heavy perfu.
The elevator doors opened. He turned right and ca to the president's office. After hesitating slightly, he knocked.
Knock knock knock.
Click.
The door opened to reveal a slicked-back-haired man in his twenties, around 179cm tall—just slightly taller than Rinji—with a very balanced and muscular build.
His hairstyle reminded Rinji of a certain manga character. Sothing like "Uchiha What's-His-Gay."
"…Is my grandpa in there? Old guy, kind of a sleazebag."
The man didn't respond verbally—just pointed indifferently toward the room.
Rinji noticed a faint trace of blood on his shirt.
"You beat my grandpa?"
"…He's fine."
"Fine? The guy ca here for sex and didn't pay, and you didn't even break his legs? What kind of club is this?"
"..."
"I'm serious. Go in there and beat him up! Don't hold back just because I'm family."
"Hey! Rinji! You really want to see your grandpa suffer in his old age!?"
His grandfather's voice ca from inside. Rinji sighed and walked past the man into the room.
"You already know you're too old for this and you still ca here."
The room was luxuriously decorated like a bedroom. In the center sat a low table, and his grandfather was sipping tea across from a beautiful young woman.
Seeing Rinji enter, the old man put down his cup and smiled.
"Oh, Rinji, you're finally here."
"Ah, Grandpa, I'm so relieved to see you're alright. (monotone)" Rinji said, completely expressionless.
The elegant young woman stood up and greeted him warmly. "Hello, little one. You must be this gentleman's grandson?"
"I wish I weren't."
"How much does he owe you? I'll pay it."
"It's a small amount, not worth worrying about." She smiled. "Let introduce myself: I'm Kurayoshi Rino, CEO of Gold Pleasure Group. That man behind you is Mikazuchi Rei. Mr. Takamine Rinji."
"Oh? You know my na?"
"Of course. Everyone in the Kengan Association is curious about your relationship with Chairman Katahara."
"Ah, so you're a Kengan mber too."
Gold Pleasure Group specialized in nightlife businesses—a fancy way of saying brothels. Despite that, it ranked very high in the Kengan Association. Their rapid growth was thanks entirely to the woman before him.
She was known as the "Queen of the Night"—a revolutionary in the nightlife industry.
"That guy behind you—Mikazuchi Rei—he's your fighter, right?" Rinji asked.
So the mont the Kengan Sudden-Death Elimination Tournant was announced, these CEOs started making moves. Everyone wanted to be the new chairman.
"Yes. He's quite strong~"
"Hmph, still a bit below ," Grandpa said coolly as he sipped his tea.
Mikazuchi Rei and Grandpa exchanged glances, clearly itching for round two.
"I only stopped because I was ordered to," Mikazuchi said coldly. "Otherwise, you'd already be in the hospital."
"Young man, you might be strong for your age, but I've still got fight in ."
Grandpa's eyes glead as his aura flared.
Rinji had heard stories from his father about Grandpa's younger days. Apparently, he used to be pretty formidable.
"…Grandpa, I'm going to tell Grandma about this. Let's see how sharp your blade is after that."
"Wait wait! I was joking!"
That intimidating front imdiately crumbled.
Kurayoshi Rino stepped up to Rinji, gently touched his lips with a slender finger, and smiled.
"The next ti we et will be at the Sudden-Death Tournant. I'm really looking forward to seeing you again, little Rinji."
With that, she and Mikazuchi left the room.
Grandpa watched her go and chuckled. "What a fine woman. Rinji, if you can win her heart, maybe I'll get a discount next ti I co here."
"…Grandpa, turn around. You've got sothing on your back."
"Hm?"
Without suspicion, the old man turned around.
And in that instant—fwmp! Rinji clapped a towel over his nose.
"Mmmph! Mmm—!"
A few seconds later, Grandpa collapsed asleep onto the table.
Rinji pulled out his phone and made a call.
"Hello? Fifth floor, Gold Entertainnt Club. Pick up the old guy and make sure he's tied up tight."
