Chapter 328: Omen of the Evil God
"There's news from the Blue House that the Free Federation is preparing to negotiate with [The Final Empire] and recognize its legitimate sovereignty."
"Mmh~"
"Seo Ji-woo and the Isshin Association probably want to imitate [The Final Day]. They intend to use our Samwol Group as a public front to unify the peninsula..."
Lee Chae-rin kept relaying various pieces of intelligence, trying to attract Kaito Shirogane's attention. But just like every other time they engaged in pleasure, he only looked at her playfully, his hands wandering ceaselessly.
That feeling was like playing with a piece of porcelain.
"If you don't like it, you can try resisting, Lee Chae-rin."
Looking at the woman whose muscles were tense and curled up into a ball, Kaito spoke with interest. His fingertips slid across her jawline, lifting her chin until their eyes met.
"I can grant you special permission to use force against me at times like this."
Subconsciously, Lee Chae-rin infused Armament Haki into her body. Her limbs rapidly turned pitch black, and powerful muscle strength exploded in an instant. She was like a female leopard—no, a female leopard couldn't compare to her physical explosiveness.
In just an instant, the sweat on her body and the moisture remaining after her bath were shaken into white mist. But in the next moment, she felt an even more domineering physical force grab her neck and pin her onto the bed.
Out of the corner of her eye, Lee Chae-rin looked behind her. She felt that the robustness of that body surpassed any known human physique; muscle mass and hardness far exceeded expectations.
Previously, every time she struggled, it was futile, and she could only let him do as he pleased. This time was the first time she examined his naked body.
Kaito sat behind Lee Chae-rin, one hand gripping her slender neck, the other grabbing her right hand, which had formed a sword-finger, and pinning it behind her head.
Lee Chae-rin's physical strength couldn't compare to his. Without a weapon, her powerful swordsmanship couldn't be displayed. She could only harden her body with Armament Haki to resist.
She had actually vaguely sensed that Kaito wanted her to resist; only that could incite the desires within this beast's heart.
But whether it was instinct or because a similar desire existed faintly within her, she chose to resist every time.
Pitch-black lightning constantly dissipated from the arm holding her neck.
Conqueror's Haki coating?
She trembled all over, like a small boat in the center of a storm.
That overly intense spirit made her lose her composure, and her Armament Haki began to fade...

Hayashi stood in the hotel corridor, listening to the commotion in that room which sounded like a demolition crew at work. He and Du Enqin looked at each other.
"I wonder if Miss Lee can handle it..."
He became more convinced that Boss Shirogane was a descendant of ancient martial arts. To make such terrifying noise even doing this kind of thing... he truly wasn't an ordinary person.
Du Enqin felt somewhat fortunate that Boss Shirogane didn't fancy her. Otherwise, with such a commotion, even if she didn't die, she would probably lose a layer of skin.
She didn't believe Boss Shirogane was some descendant of a hidden ancient martial arts family. On the contrary, with the increasing occurrence of superpower incidents recently, she realized Boss Shirogane was likely one of those superpowered individuals.
Therefore, she feared him even more. She had seen other superpowered individuals, like that Mai, but their demeanor in front of Boss Shirogane wasn't much better than hers or Hayashi's.
Du Enqin was certain that this Madman Shirogane was absolutely the greatest benefactor she would meet in her life. Unless she clung tightly to his thigh, there was no possibility of obtaining better opportunities.
Now that even the eldest daughter of the Samwol Group had fallen into his trap, the [Paradise Project] was no longer distant.
In her view, the so-called Paradise was basically a super-large city, or rather, a small autonomous kingdom.
Although she didn't believe a broken place like Myanmar could attract enough people to consume and revitalize the operating costs of this heavily invested Paradise, previous events had made her start believing she didn't need to ponder such questions.
Madman Shirogane would naturally solve those matters.
She just needed to implement his orders one hundred percent. Power, wealth, strength—she could have it all too!
The current Du Enqin, although no longer the wife of a sheriff or the disciple of a great Zen master, held more power than before. Utilizing her advantage as a local, she became the primary target for locals wanting to curry favor with Boss Shirogane.
More suitable for locals than Hayashi.
"Did the people from Touka contact you?"
Although both Du Enqin and Hayashi had important matters to report, they dared not disturb Madman Shirogane's pleasure. The two walked to one end of the corridor and began cross-checking intelligence.
In a sense, they were the actual executors of the Paradise Project at this moment.
Hayashi glanced at Du Enqin, knowing she had numerous informants locally. Although he disliked this feeling, since Boss Shirogane had no intention of removing her, he couldn't do anything about it.
However, he had his own advantages. Following that team on a mission whose details he could no longer recall, he had gained unexpected support.
He just needed to maintain the current situation, monitor local superpowered individuals, and synchronize intelligence.
This was assistance he had never imagined, even leading him to briefly consider establishing his own faction.
But later, with just one encounter, the look in Boss Shirogane's eyes scared him into kneeling on the ground and revealing the entire plan.
Seeing Hayashi silent, Du Enqin changed the subject.
"I heard the Myanmar government hired a team of superpowered individuals and is attempting to flatten the opposition forces in several Special Regions."
She was somewhat worried. Those superpowered individuals were elusive, and ordinary people had no ability to resist.
She had even seen news on the internet about the complete annihilation of the Free Federation's carrier fleet in the South Pacific. The power of superpowered individuals was becoming increasingly inconceivable.
Having witnessed Kaito's strength and possessing Touka's promise, Hayashi wasn't very afraid.
Instead, he said:
"It would be great if they actually dared to make a move on us."
"I've long been annoyed with those Myanmar officials who only ask for money. If they piss off Boss Shirogane, he'll fucking kill them all~"
Bang!
The door shattered with a bang. Water mist, like white steam, billowed out from the presidential suite. Du Enqin lowered her head, wondering what kind of pleasure could create such a commotion.
Hayashi watched Kaito, clad in a simple bathrobe, walk out barefoot. Kaito walked into another lounge and beckoned to him.
Hayashi immediately lowered his head and followed him in, not even daring to glance sideways at the commotion in the presidential suite.
"Hayashi, I'm going to leave here for a few days. You keep an eye on the Paradise's construction progress."
"Is it... to go to Korea?"
Hayashi asked subconsciously, then realized it wasn't his place to ask and quickly lowered his head again.
"No problem, Boss Shirogane. I guarantee the schedule will only be advanced, not delayed!"
Kaito leaned against the window. Sunlight shone on his back. Du Enqin, who had just walked in, wondered if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see a red luster rising from his body.
She quickly lowered her head and made a guarantee as well.
"I will also arrange for locals to cooperate with the construction. We will absolutely not delay the Paradise Project!"
Kaito nodded, then listened to their reports. However, his eyes were carefully examining the notification he had just received.
