"I..." Lu Mingfei drank his ramen soup, seemingly forgetting the first time he met Erii.
After the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill, the other three male hosts prepared to return to the host club in Takamagahara. Gu Ran thought for a moment and then went with them, saying that someone had infiltrated Takamagahara and they had to meet him today.
"Who?" Chu Zihang asked. Someone had sneaked in without him noticing?
Caesar also looked at Gu Ran with curiosity.
"We'll find out when we get there. He should show up by now." Gu Ran didn't say it explicitly, but simply followed along towards Takamagahara.
The four arrived at the entrance to Takamagahara, only to find that there were still Caesar's loyal fans waiting for them.
This loyal fan is Ms. Mikasa, the vice president of a certain engine company. She is 32 years old, married but childless. Her husband is a sumo wrestler who is only interested in playing philosophical games with other men and neglects her. Therefore, in order to seek emotional comfort, she can only turn to host clubs and is a loyal customer of Caesar.
"Oh, is this handsome young man, just like Ukyo, also a male escort?" The tipsy Mikasa looked at Gu Ran with burning eyes. "You're really good-looking."
Gu Ran was about to speak when she was interrupted by Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.
“That’s right, he’s also a male escort, just not from this establishment, but he’s the top performer!” Lu Mingfei said.
"Oh, not this store..." Ms. Mikasa was a little disappointed. Now that she was at the entrance of Takamagahara, she was too embarrassed to ask Gu Ran about his workplace.
Gu Ran's hands were being held, leaving her somewhat amused and exasperated.
Actually, the three male escorts had long been unhappy. Why did they have to be male escorts while Gu Ran could refuse? So they were determined to drag him into the sex trade whenever they had the chance.
Lu Mingfei became a gigolo out of necessity, while Chu Zihang and Caesar were simply doing what they loved. Caesar and Ms. Mikasa had a few more drinks before saying goodbye, as she was an important client and they couldn't afford to offend her easily.
"Can I have a kiss before I leave? I'm going to America for negotiations tomorrow. With Basara King's kiss, I'll be invincible!" The woman swayed like seaweed, occasionally leaning against Caesar.
"Is it okay for cherry blossoms to fall like that?" Caesar asked.
Ms. Mikasa closed her eyes, and Caesar put his arm around her waist. At this moment, Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers, and a male escort immediately stepped forward, bent down and gave Ms. Mikasa a soft, light kiss, before leaving before she opened her eyes.
When Ms. Mikasa opened her eyes, she still saw Caesar's tender and affectionate face.
Caesar's career as a male escort also involved setbacks and growth. He used to take the tough guy route, but that required him to drink heavily with customers, which was very harmful to his liver and kidneys. Although mixed-race people are not afraid of alcohol poisoning, constantly having to go to the toilet is not a solution.
So lately he's been taking a tough-guy-with-a-soft-heart approach, occasionally showing weakness, and it's actually worked quite well; at least he doesn't need to drink as much alcohol anymore.
"This world is so cruel, but it becomes beautiful because of you!" Mikasa, nestled in Caesar's arms, instantly transformed into a strong woman. "I'll come back to support you after I finish my business and have some money!"
She left in such a majestic manner, and the three male escorts, emulating the Japanese spirit of humility, bowed and waved goodbye.
Gu Ran chuckled from the side, "Seriously, isn't what you're doing a scam?"
"That's called a white lie. Besides, in male escort clubs and other places of prostitution, there's no real affection. It's all just acting!" Lu Mingfei, with an air of having seen through the ways of the world, earnestly advised Gu Ran, like a seasoned veteran of the pleasures of the world.
"Alright, that's a wrap!" Caesar, an Italian nobleman, had never asked anyone for a favor in his life, but in the host club, he learned how to ask for help—a truly valuable social learning experience.
Chu Zihang is also constantly improving. Now he doesn't always have a blank expression. He occasionally shows a professional smile. Lu Mingfei saw him practicing the curve of his smile in front of the mirror to see how to make it perfect.
The two senior brothers are truly dedicated to their work and do their jobs conscientiously, completely different from Lu Mingfei, who only knows how to coast along.
"Junior brothers, fellow junior brothers, I've finally found my family!" A trembling, obsequious voice said from the bottom of the steps at the entrance to Takamagahara.
The three male escorts were slightly taken aback. Lu Mingfei said in surprise, "Am I hallucinating? Why does it sound like I heard the voice of my useless senior brother Fingel?"
“You heard me right, my hearing is never wrong.” Caesar looked at the down-and-out man below the steps.
Chu Zihang's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if he wanted to kill him to silence him.
If there's one person they least want to know about their gigolo work, it's definitely Fingel, because he's the paparazzi for the news department. Once he finds out, the whole of Kassel College and the entire Secret Service will know!
"What? You're pretending not to know me?" Fingel shivered in the damp, chilly spring wind. "If you don't recognize me, I'll take a picture and post it online!"
Sure enough, Fingel knew all too well how to threaten the people in front of him.
"How about we silence him first?" Gu Ran took out a knife from his pocket and handed it to Caesar and the others.
It was the same toy knife as before, and Lu Mingfei happily took one, ready to threaten and tease Fingel.
Who knew that Fingel, in a fit of desperation, would actually go over and hug Lu Mingfei's leg: "Junior brother, I haven't eaten for three days and nine meals a day, please give me some food, I'm starving to death!"
"Let me explain first," Lu Mingfei said, looking at Fingel's defeated expression, unable to bear teasing him any longer. "We did this because it was necessary for the mission, and our boss and senior brothers are also gigolos, except for Gu Ran!"
Lu Mingfei may have his fun, but he didn't drag Gu Ran into it. He knew it would be a disgraceful thing for him to do, and he was fine with being tainted himself; there was no need to drag Gu Ran down with him.
“I… I can see it. You’re all dressed so smartly… I’m so envious!” Fingel said with tears in his eyes.
"Alright, alright, I think he's just hungry. If this keeps up, he'll think we're trying to starve him to death to keep him quiet." Gu Ran walked into Takamagahara. "Let's go in and get something to eat, we can talk while we eat."
"Hey! Junior Brother Gu Ran is the best. As expected of a fellow disciple, it's no wonder I doted on you so much at school and never wrote any gossip about you." Fingel flattered Gu Ran from behind.
The waiter looked at Caesar and Lu Mingfei. They didn't serve male guests here. Was it inappropriate to let these two in?
“They are my friends, and it’s already closed, so it’s fine,” Caesar said, and then they went inside together.
He and Chu Zihang were also very curious about why Fingel appeared in Japan and what had happened in between.
Gao Tianyuan works in the service industry and has a kitchen. Since Caesar and Chu Zihang are top performers, the kitchen is happy to prepare their late-night snacks.
While waiting for his late-night snack, Fingel recounted his experiences in Japan.
It turns out that he was assigned to intern in Japan, but one day, the Japanese branch betrayed him, and he lost all his credit cards and other belongings. He was also hunted down by the Japanese branch, which led to his current predicament.
Chapter 465 The Person Who Infiltrated Takamagahara
A short while later, five bowls of ramen were served. These were prepared by the waiters of Takamagahara for Caesar and the other four.
Finger said emotionally, "My junior brothers are so thoughtful. They knew I had been hungry for a long time, and they prepared five bowls of noodles for me right away. I'm so touched, I want to cry!"
"Excuse me, waiter, I'd like four more servings of tempura and one serving of miso soup, please." Fingel continued to order more food.
The waiter was stunned for a moment. He thought the ramen was for five people, but it turned out that he was eating it all by himself.
Caesar nodded and told the waiter to take the order from the kitchen. That was the privilege of the top waiter; if he wanted a late-night snack, the kitchen would still oblige.
Fingel needs alcohol with his meals, so he grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the liquor cabinet and ate ramen with the spirit, seemingly enjoying it quite a bit.
He finished four bowls of ramen in one go, then rubbed his belly and lay back in the chair like a wealthy landowner: "I'm finally alive again."
"Shall we take a shower?" Caesar suggested, because he couldn't stand the musty smell on Fingel. He didn't like to shower when he was in school, but as a Scandinavian, he had extremely thick body hair, which meant that even a little sweat would make him smell very strong!
"Take your time, I'll wash later." Fingel was a little embarrassed, but he had eaten too fast and was a bit too full.
“You still have a bowl of ramen, shrimp tempura, and miso soup,” Chu Zihang said.
“That’s for the next meal. Give me the time it takes to perform an opera, and I can make room in my stomach.” Fingel stood up at the bar.
He looked at Gu Ran and the other three with sparkling eyes: "It's so good to see you all, it's like seeing family, especially the leaders of the two major gangs and Lu Mingfei, your clothes are so beautiful..."
The Cowherd's clothes can only be described in two words: gaudy!
At this moment, Fingel carefully examined the three of them.
Lu Mingfei is currently wearing a backless dress, that's right, a V-neck back that goes all the way up to his pubic bone. Heaven knows if he feels ashamed when he wears this backless suit.
Caesar's suit wasn't much better; a purple velvet blazer with nothing underneath, revealing his massive pectoral muscles. In short, it was "gay purple."
Chu Zihang wasn't much better off; in short, the suits at the host club were all abnormal.
Therefore, Gu Ran's black leather jacket and black cargo pants seemed somewhat out of place here.
"You three are so sissy, hahaha, I'm definitely going to post your photos on the campus network when I get back to school, hahaha!"
The three of them crowded around Fingel at the same time, and Chu Zihang even reached behind him, seemingly preparing to take something out.
"Just kidding, just kidding." Fingel quickly raised his hands in surrender. "Since I ate your food, I have to keep your secret. I guarantee with the reputation of us Germans that I will not say a word about what happened today. Besides, I don't have a phone to take pictures."
"But I really think you're all quite beautiful, especially Caesar. It's as if you've opened another door, started a second life. Lu Mingfei is also very charming, and Chu Zihang can smile after all..."
Fingel said something again and was immediately surrounded again, it seems that all three of them had the idea of killing him.
"Let's get down to business. What did you find out at the Japanese branch?" Gu Ran poured himself a glass of draft cola. "The principal sent you here to infiltrate the Japanese branch, so he must have given you some kind of mission, right?"
"Did the principal send you to infiltrate?" Lu Mingfei asked, looking at Fingel.
"of course!"
As mentioned before, Angers knew about the secret of the Snake-Headed Eight Families long after World War II. He then broke up the family and established a branch in Japan, which lasted for more than half a century. It was only in the last ten years or so that the Snake-Headed Eight Families reunited.
Angers knew that he could not rule these Japanese devils for long through his personal authority and violence, so he would send some students over every year to infiltrate the Japanese branch.
Among them were members of the Snake Clan, who did not fully accept their own clan's doctrines but had their own ideas. Therefore, they defected to the Secret Party and became traitors, or "double agents" for short.
"So what intelligence have you gathered?" Caesar asked impatiently.
“I’ve collected all sorts of scandals from various families,” Fingel said with a sly grin. “I was originally planning to take this dirt to the TV station if I couldn’t afford to eat again…”
“What’s the use of this kind of intelligence?” Lu Mingfei said when he heard that he had only collected gossip and tabloid news. “We thought you knew the whereabouts of the Well of Corpses.”
"What is the Well of Hidden Bones?" Fingel asked blankly. "Is it more important than the gossip of the heads of various families?"
“Nonsense!” Lu Mingfei told Fingel about the current situation and the White King.
Fingel then realized the seriousness of the situation and shrugged, saying, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I just placed hidden cameras in the places where the heads of each family live. Let me tell you, that Sakurai Nanami's figure..."
"Damn, you're watching this young woman too?" Lu Mingfei said.
“You’re too young to understand. Young married women are the most beautiful,” Fingel explained.
"Alright, alright, that's not suitable for children if you keep talking like that," Gu Ran interrupted their banter.
"The appearance of Senior Brother Finger is not entirely a bad thing for us," Chu Zihang said calmly.
"I can tell!" Fingel cried out guiltily. "You think it's pretty much a bad thing, right?"
Chu Zihang was a little embarrassed, and Lu Mingfei said directly, "Besides consuming our frontline supplies, you're completely useless now."
“Indeed.” Caesar poured himself a glass of whiskey, took a sip, and said, “We already have Lu Mingfei as our meat shield.”
"Damn it, how did my skinny little body become a meat shield?" Lu Mingfei complained.
"Isn't it because of your regenerative abilities that you're a natural tank?"
"I……"
"Alright, alright." Chu Zihang interrupted the pointless argument and steered the conversation back on track, but he didn't know where the focus of the conversation was.
He looked at Gu Ran: "Is this the person you were talking about who snuck in?"
"No." Gu Ran shook his head and burped. "Senior Brother Fingel, tell me, who told you to come here?"
Caesar and the other two were stunned for a moment, and looked at Fingel with great curiosity. They were relatively secretive, so how did he know? If he knew, didn't that mean that the Snake Clan might also know?
If that's the case, they'll probably have to plan a relocation.
