Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 917 - 537: Christmas Eve Approaches (Part 5)_2
Hanamaru Yuuki, who wanted to escape from the bar, was forced back by several thugs holding small knives.
"You, you guys..."
It was a premeditated plan.
Hanamaru Yugetsu saw the situation and immediately realized these guys had long schemed against him.
To catch him, they had gathered a significant number of people in this bar, clearly putting in considerable effort.
Ookubo Eiji glanced at Hanamaru Yuuki, surrounded by his underlings, and angrily shouted to them: "Don’t let that girl run!"
He turned around and looked at Hanamaru Yugetsu, who was not far in front.
"And you lot, what are you waiting for? Get him!"
Standing there, several thugs promptly responded, each pulling out the small knives from their pants pockets from behind, shaking their heads, putting on a threatening posture, and advancing toward Hanamaru Yugetsu.
"Get him!"
Seeing the timing was right, they lunged at him simultaneously.
Hanamaru Yugetsu faced the few thugs head-on, using the techniques learned from his police background, giving him ample experience to deal with these mindless small-time thugs.
He swiftly moved aside, grabbed one man’s wrist, and twisted it downward with the leverage.
Having had a bit too much to drink, his movements were somewhat unsteady, along with slightly more force in the action.
Crack, crack, the sound like a wrist being snapped.
The thug who lunged first showed a look of pain, releasing the small knife from his hand, and dropped to his knees.
Next, a fierce kick landed on his stomach, and with a sound of retching, he vomited stomach contents, clutching his stomach in anguish, head bowing slowly to the ground, body convulsing.
Several more thugs rushed up next, Hanamaru Yugetsu seized a high stool, knocking one down, immediately ducking back to dodge the other two’s knives, reaching behind to grab a bar bottle, and taking advantage of their slow swipe, smashed the bottles into their faces.
Wham, wham, with no mercy, the two glass bottles shattered completely.
The two thugs’ heads were rocked like being swarmed by bees.
At the dance floor, the crazed men and women continued shaking their heads and dancing with glasses in hand, the intense, chest-pounding music made them unaware of the chaos here.
Hanamaru Yugetsu’s face flushed, having drunk too much earlier, no matter how he wanted to rally, his steps remained unsure.
Five of them together couldn’t subdue this guy, the thugs began hesitating, afraid to go forward.
"Get out of the way!"
Another thug opted not to use a small knife, directly charging at Hanamaru Yugetsu with two dragon-tattooed muscular arms, the figure rushing forward with the speed of wind.
This guy has some skill.
Hanamaru Yugetsu raised his body, facing him.
The sturdy man didn’t care about anything, swung a pot-sized fist directly, Hanamaru Yugetsu dodged sideways, the fist smashing into a heap of empty glasses, causing a burst of glass shards splitting sound.
Seeing Hanamaru Yugetsu dodge his punch, the sturdy man turned around, swinging several punches in succession.
Yet it had no effect, instead, Hanamaru Yugetsu found an opening, picked up a dining table bottle, and smashed it on the bald head of the sturdy man.
Covering his eyes, the sturdy man took a step back, touching the blood flowing from his forehead, quite infuriated, gathered all his strength, clenched his hands, and swung two more quick punches at Hanamaru Yugetsu.
The first punch, Hanamaru Yugetsu dodged sideways, the second punch, he caught the sturdy man’s punch coming from a side angle.
No more words from Hanamaru Yugetsu, gripping his fist, with a pivot and an elbow swing, the other hand struck the sturdy man’s stomach with full force.
Hanamaru Yugetsu’s strength is indeed not small, feeling a tight cramp in his stomach, the sturdy man frowned right away.
Taking advantage of the sturdy man’s staggering steps, along with the influence of alcohol, Hanamaru Yugetsu relentlessly grabbed his body and unleashed a barrage of knee and elbow strikes.
His stomach felt like it was being pierced with continuous pain, no matter how he gritted his teeth, he couldn’t endure it.
In no time, watching six hired thugs being knocked down, Ookubo Eiji yelled at a bunch of losers!
A gang of people together, yet couldn’t subdue one person?!
Hanamaru Yugetsu looked at the remaining twenty-plus guys in front, his expression solemn, head dizzy, add that with the DJ music from the dance floor, he felt the world was upside down, distorted.
Quickly shaking his head to swiftly clear his mind.
Solemnly facing the remaining underlings.
"Hanamaru Police!"
Hearing Ookubo Eiji’s voice, Hanamaru Yugetsu shifted his gaze, only to see in the dim light, Ookubo Eiji holding his niece’s chin, threatening with it!
Hanamaru Yugetsu was truly furious: "Bastard!!"
Ookubo Eiji was not a kind person, he pinched Hanamaru Yuuki’s pretty, yet defiant face, amazed: "Hanamaru Police, your little girlfriend seems to have a fiery temper."
"Ookubo Eiji!"
"Hanamaru Police, I don’t want to play these tricks either...but you know, three years ago you blinded one of my eyes; now walking is completely unbalanced, the people I hired can’t beat you. What should I do?!"
"Bast——"
Hanamaru Yugetsu suddenly took a hit on his back. The burly man from earlier had gotten up from the ground, and with a flying leap, he tackled Hanamaru Yugetsu to the ground. Seeing this situation, a bunch of underlings surged forward, pinning him to the ground.
Ookubo Eiji slightly tilted his chin, casually moving Hanamaru Yuuki’s face in his hand over as well. He cast a cold glance at the pinned-down Hanamaru Yugetsu, and said in a cold voice:
"Beat him."
...
Light snow was falling from the sky.
Hanamaru Shinetsu arrived in Kabuki-cho at around eight in the evening.
By this time, the sky had already turned completely dark.
He found Uesugi Sakura and Hanamaru Hanabi, who had joined up with him here.
"Brother Sakura, and Sister Hanabi."
Uesugi Sakura glanced over, "Shinetsu, you’ve grown taller."
"Haha... not really..." Hanamaru Shinetsu said with an embarrassed smile, "Time is of the essence, we’d better hurry in and find my sister. I just tried calling Uncle Yugetsu, but couldn’t get through. At this time, he’s usually drinking."
Uesugi Sakura agreed, "Alright, let’s go and see."
...
In the back streets of Kabuki-cho, the three stood at the front of a bar with open doors. At the entrance was a narrow staircase leading up.
Upon seeing the "Kado Bar" sign hanging above, Uesugi Sakura followed Hanamaru Shinetsu inside.
Halfway up, the loud music from the DJ could already be heard, and the faint sound of people shouting crazily.
Uesugi Sakura frowned, he didn’t quite like this place.
Upon entering the bar, Uesugi Sakura saw Hanamaru Shinetsu, who was walking in front, suddenly freeze.
"Sis..."
Uesugi Sakura looked up instinctively to see that the bar was already in shambles.
Tables overturned, broken glass everywhere, fruit-infused liquor scattered on the floor, and men and women still dancing in the adjacent dance floor.
Among the group of people standing ahead, Uesugi Sakura spotted what seemed to be Hanamaru Yuuki being restrained by someone, and Hanamaru Yugetsu being pinned down and beaten by several others.
Hanamaru Hanabi saw it too, instinctively wanting to get closer:
"Yuuki and Uncle Yugetsu..."
"Don’t go over there."
Uesugi Sakura reached out to stop her, facing the group of thugs dressed in colorful outfits, some in suits and others in down jackets.
Seeing his sister’s face being grabbed by those people, Hanamaru Shinetsu’s blood boiled. He looked around and found a steel pipe.
Before even Uesugi Sakura realized, Hanamaru Shinetsu dashed forward from under his nose.
"Wait!"
Even before Uesugi Sakura could finish speaking, Hanamaru Shinetsu swung the steel pipe, hitting a thug’s head from behind.
With a bang, just the sight of it looked painful.
Simultaneously, the thugs also took notice of him, their gazes turning towards him simultaneously.
Hanamaru Shinetsu stepped back, taking a stance: "You! You guys, let go of my sister and my uncle!!"
Everyone saw it was just a brat who still smelled of milk, and after a few seconds of pause, they burst into laughter.
Soon after, three men stepped out, and in a few moves, pinned him to the ground as well.
"Let go! You bastards!"
The thugs didn’t even bother to mock this little brat.
Ookubo Eiji merely glanced at him.
Seeing her brother suddenly appear, Hanamaru Yuuki couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Watching this scene unfold, Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but shake his head, Shinetsu was still just a child after all.
"Sakura..." Hanamaru Hanabi called out anxiously.
"Don’t worry, I get it."
"Should we call Dad over...?"
"You call him."
"What about you, Sakura..."
"Don’t worry about me."
Sigh, I just wanted to peacefully get through Christmas Eve tomorrow...
