"Takigaku" is located on the rooftop area above the 30th floor of the Heaven and Earth complex. It is a three-story duplex building in the style of ancient architecture.
"Takigaku" is an independent area in Heaven and Earth, and outsiders cannot come to this place. Even among the members of the Black Takigaku Society, only a small number of core members have the authority to enter "Takigaku".
Hideaki Kurosawa single-handedly built this entertainment empire. Few people can run a nightclub business with such success. Kurosawa had unique advantages, and he packaged himself as an idol star.
The most crucial aspect of running a nightclub is the "resources," specifically the quality of the "contracted models." Half of the "contracted models" at Heaven on Earth were obtained through coercion or semi-coercion, while the other half came from female fans of Kurosawa Takihide.
Young girls often dream, fantasizing about being Cinderella or the trope of a domineering CEO falling for a cleaning lady. So when their idols come into their lives, they are almost powerless against them, readily obeying their every command.
These girls can meet the needs of some clients with special requirements, since these high-end clients are generally tired of the fixed procedures of professional "contracted models".
For them, those naive and innocent sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls and young, spirited girls are more interesting to play with, which is why Heaven on Earth is so popular, always packed, and full of revelry every night.
The "Black Dragon Society" has enough powerful and stable backers. Even the police captain of Ruolan Star has a fixed room at Heaven and Earth.
With connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, no one can shake the "Black Dragon Society's" position on Ruolan Star.
Kurosawa Hideaki had also considered that if the "Kurotaki-kai" were to decline one day, it would be because it was defeated by its competitors. In order to prevent this from happening, he never stopped annexing and squeezing out his competitors.
As Heaven on Earth grew stronger and stronger, almost monopolizing the nightclub market on Hailan Island, the members of the gang became increasingly arrogant. Including himself, the members of the Black Dragon Gang became increasingly crude in their actions, daring to take dirty tricks on anyone they didn't like, far from the cautiousness they had when they started the business.
However, he never expected that the crisis would come from the female fan he usually looked down on the most.
Is that guy really a teacher?
Kurosawa Takihide sat in a chair inside the "Kurotaki Palace," looking at the monitor screen in front of him, feeling a headache coming on.
The other side had already taken down hundreds of Black Dragon Society's thugs along the way, leaving a trail of blood and corpses in their wake.
Of the four protectors of the "Black Dragon Society," only one remains.
What kind of teacher is this?!
Outside the "Black Dragon Palace" plaza, a dozen men in black surrounded the man, but from Kurosawa Takihide's perspective, it appeared that the man was the one surrounding the dozen or so men in black.
Because the dozen or so men in black surrounded him, each one trembling with fear, hesitating to move forward or backward, they would step back as the man took a step forward.
"Help, help me, please come and save me..."
Bang!
On the surveillance screen, a man smashed the head of a middle-aged, overweight man crawling on the ground. Kurosawa Takihide helplessly rubbed his forehead and let out a long sigh...
Now all four guardians are gone.
"Yes, yes, Chairman, should we call the police?"
The subordinate standing next to Kurosawa Taki, who was in charge of controlling the surveillance video, stammered.
Call the police?
Kurosawa Taki was furious. What kind of gangster calls the police on their own?
However, we should still take precautions just in case.
Outside the "Black Dragon Palace" plaza, some black-clad thugs, seeing the middle-aged fat man's head blown off, collapsed to the ground with their legs weak and their crotches soaked.
Zhang Fan pinched his nose and frowned: "Can't you guys go to the bathroom and change your pants before you come back to fight?"
Judging from the smell around here, it seems quite a few people have soiled themselves.
"Okay, okay! Big brother, let's go to the restroom first!"
The group of thugs in black scrambled away.
Only a fool would come back.
Zhang Fan didn't care; these lackeys weren't his target. He glanced at the monitor on his wrist, then walked straight ahead and pushed open the door of the Black Dragon Palace.
"It's you?"
Zhang Fan saw a man sitting in the center of the dimly lit hall. Although the indoor light was insufficient and the man's body was hidden in shadow, Zhang Fan recognized his face because he had seen him at a concert not long ago.
"You're their leader?"
"You don't even know who I am, yet you just barged in here?" Kurosawa Taki found the whole thing rather ridiculous.
“I have no choice. You kidnapped some of my girls, and I have to rescue them.” Zhang Fan glanced at the monitor on his wrist again. This should be the place, but the empty hall was empty except for the two of them.
Does it look like there's a hidden layer under the floor?
“I have many girls here. I don’t know which ones you’re talking about. And how many can you save?” Kurosawa Takihide’s veins bulged on his forehead.
"Do you even know how many girls like Ryan there are? And how many can you possibly save? Is this really necessary?"
"Do you know how much I lost tonight? Do you know how many girls you mentioned could I have bought with my losses?"
"How many girls like that could you possibly save? Is this even worthwhile?"
“It’s pointless.” Zhang Fan shook his head. “You shouldn’t have tried to hit on my girl. I saw it, and you can’t just pretend you didn’t see it. Also…”
"Talking nonsense is no fun!" Zhang Fan threw away the bent and deformed steel pipe in his hand, tore off his blood-stained shirt, revealing a body of muscles covered with mottled scars like a spider web, and then waved to the man in the darkness, "Can you be a little more efficient? Don't act like a sissy, come and fight! Let's finish this quickly so I can go back and have a late-night snack."
Kurosawa Takihide covered his forehead in pain: "Are you really a teacher?"
"Yes," Zhang Fan nodded. "One of my professions is indeed that of a teacher."
"You have other professions?"
“I am their leader…”
"Chicken head?"
"Fuck you!"
Zhang Fan rushed forward instantly and threw a straight punch at the man whose body was hidden in the shadows.
Bang!
The punch landed squarely on the opponent's chest, but the opponent only swayed slightly, while Zhang Fan staggered back several steps.
The fist pounded so hard that his hand went numb, his fingers were red and sore, and several cuts appeared.
Zhang Fan looked at his opponent with some surprise. This punch didn't seem to hit a human body; it was more like hitting steel.
Crack, crack, crack.
Kurosawa Takihide stood up and stepped out of the shadows.
"That's a bit of a foul."
Looking at Kurosawa Takihide, who was covered in an exoskeleton, Zhang Fan finally understood why that punch had hurt so much.
"This doesn't look like an ordinary exoskeleton," Zhang Fan said, looking at the other person with a puzzled expression. "Police armor?"
“Yes.” Kurosawa Takihide nodded. “You have a good eye; it is indeed a police mech.”
“You probably can’t buy this thing here even if you have the money, right? As far as I know, all the police mechs used by the patrol team are registered.” Zhang Fan said as he picked up the steel pipe from the ground.
“You’re wrong.” Kurosawa Takihide’s gaze was icy. “Money can indeed buy you anything.”
"I paid 10 times the price to get a set from them."
"Don't be surprised, this mech is still nominally in the warehouse of the Hailan Island patrol team."
Clang! Clang!
Zhang Fan struck Kurosawa Takihide twice with a steel pipe, but only made the sound of metal clashing. Kurosawa Takihide, dressed in police armor, looked like he was wearing a bulletproof vest covered in steel plates.
Kurosawa Takihide caught the steel pipe with his bare hands, then used brute force to bend it into a U-shape before throwing it into the corner with a thud.
There is a generational gap in the power between humans and mechs; relying on brute force will ultimately make it impossible to confront a mech head-on.
Zhang Fan wouldn't be foolish enough to knowingly rush headlong into something impossible; he immediately stormed out the door.
A fierce wind was blowing outside, and the sunlight was unusually glaring.
Where does the sunlight come from at night?
After Zhang Fan's eyes adjusted to the outside light and the strong wind, he realized that the light was coming from the sky.
Three helicopters hovered on the rooftop, their searchlights illuminating the rooftop of the "Heaven on Earth" building as bright as day.
As the helicopter approached the building, a police officer dressed in armor jumped out from the cabin door.
Three helicopters arrived. Two of them each had 10 police officers jump out and surrounded the plaza in front of the "Black Dragon Palace". The third helicopter landed on the rooftop helipad, and a group of people in police uniforms opened the cabin door and got out.
"Hey, hey, aren't you guys mistaken?" Zhang Fan, seeing the infrared sight spots covering his body, pointed to Kurosawa Takihide behind him. "Shouldn't you be aiming at him?"
But no one paid him any attention; two police officers in police armor had already handcuffed his hands.
The team of uniformed police officers who came down from the helicopter walked past Zhang Fan, and the one in the middle, who was obviously the leader, walked to Kurosawa Takihide's side surrounded by other police officers.
"Is it him? You called me here in such a hurry just to deal with him alone?"
"I'll transfer the money to your account." Kurosawa Taki pointed at Zhang Fan expressionlessly, "But he must die!"
"Then do your best. Falling from a building or a car accident is fine, but it's best not to die here. Too many people have already died here, and I can't help you with the washing."
"And his group of women," Kurosawa Takihide sneered, "I want them all!"
"No problem, another team has already set off." The captain of the Hailan Island patrol team took a drag of his cigarette. "Their allowance will be doubled from now on."
"Deal!" Kurosawa Takihide nodded.
The two people in front of them were practically the heads of both the legitimate and criminal worlds on Hailan Island, and they made a deal in front of everyone.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't it inappropriate to say these things in front of me?" Zhang Fan had been left standing there for a while, just listening to the two of them loudly discussing and deciding his fate.
Aren't you afraid it will be leaked?
"What do you think?" The patrol captain raised an eyebrow and stubbed out his cigarette. "You think you'll get out of here alive?"
As a tourist planet, Ruolan Star is subject to strict controls even for handguns. These 20 special patrol officers, equipped with police mechs and armed with automatic rifles, can be considered the strongest combat force on Ruolan Star.
At the signal from the patrol captain, the special patrol officer who had been holding Zhang Fan's hands down delivered a knee strike and an elbow strike. Zhang Fan groaned, braced himself on one knee, and almost fell to the ground.
The strength of a person amplified by a mecha is beyond what an ordinary person can withstand, not to mention that the police officers wearing police mechas are already physically strong.
"Heaven is watching what people do, aren't you afraid?" Zhang Fan bent over, panting, feeling his stomach churning and almost vomiting.
Bang!
Kurosawa Taki delivered a whip kick to Zhang Fan, sending him flying and crashing into a pile of potted plants in the corner of the rooftop.
Zhang Fan's arms were already red. Although he used his arms to block and cushion the blow, the force of that whip kick was considerable.
Pooh!
Zhang Fan spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood and stood up again.
Twenty patrol officers dressed in police armor had surrounded him in a corner, with the edge of a 30-story-high rooftop behind him.
The traffic below is heavy, and if you ignore the vertical distance, Zhang Fan is only a step away from the road below.
"Kid, I respect you for being a tough guy." The patrol captain was somewhat surprised that he could still stand up after being attacked by the police mechs. "You should jump down yourself; it'll save you some suffering."
"Don't feel it's unfair." Kurosawa Taki's eyes held a cruel sneer. "Money really can buy you anything!"
Excluding the other patrol officers, there were 21 police mechs surrounding him alone. He had no chance of breaking through, and there was only one path vertically downwards behind him.
Zhang Fan stepped back and stood on the edge of the 30th floor, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath while standing on tiptoe.
Sigh—
Just when everyone thought he was going to jump off the building to commit suicide, Zhang Fan looked at a shooting star streaking across the sky and grinned:
"As I just said, Heaven is watching what people do, so you should still be afraid."
Zhang Fan leaped backward, jumping into the sky more than 30 stories high. After a brief pause, his body began to fall rapidly under the influence of gravity.
A fall from a height of 30 stories would result in total annihilation.
"Look at the sky!"
Someone on the rooftop suddenly exclaimed, and everyone looked up at the sky.
The shooting star seemed to be guided by something, as it made a turn in the sky and flew towards the building.
"That's not a shooting star!" someone exclaimed.
That was definitely not a "shooting star".
This "meteor" originated from a military transport ship docked in the orbit of Ruolan Star.
From the moment Zhang Fan entered the "Black Dragon Palace" and discovered Kurosawa Takihide dressed in police armor, his wrist monitor continuously received messages from "Meteor":
**Attention! Military mechs designed for urban warfare**
'Saint Armor 77'
"Ejected from the capsule!"
