Chapter 304 Yamazaki Kenta

Three minutes later...

"This is our pocket money, please accept it, big brother!"

As the words were spoken, a group of men with bruised faces and miserable appearances knelt on the ground in unison.

Each of them lowered their heads, carefully holding the pocket money in their hands, with a flattering smile on their faces.

However, despite these people's efforts to appear friendly, the whole scene still looked creepy and unnatural because their bruised faces and forced smiles were so weird.

At least that was the case for Yamazaki who was curled up in the corner. At this moment, he was nervously glancing at Li Mingxuan not far away, his eyes full of curiosity and fear.

Faced with the money handed over by the group of people in front of him, Li Mingxuan stretched out his hand to take it expressionlessly, and then casually glanced at Yamazaki not far away.

Yamazaki immediately noticed Li Mingxuan's gaze, and his heart tightened: Could it be that this ferocious-looking man was also eyeing his insignificant pocket money?

Thinking of this, Yamazaki's voice began to cry a little: "My... money can't be given to you, this is to buy medicine for my brother."

"Yamazaki, if you'd better be smart, hand over the money to big brother!" At this moment, the short-haired man who had been kneeling on the ground silently suddenly broke the silence and spoke. While speaking, he glared fiercely at Yamazaki in the corner.

At this moment, his face was bruised and swollen, and he looked miserable, but he was still aggressive and seemed to feel very confident.

Hearing this, Yamazaki just shrank into the corner silently, closed his lips, and said nothing.

Obviously, he didn't intend to do what the short-haired man said.

Just as the short-haired man was about to stand up and teach Yamazaki a lesson, a strong hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder, like a heavy mountain, making him unable to move at all.

The short-haired man was shocked and immediately realized that the owner of the hand was Li Mingxuan. He was so scared that cold sweat broke out, fearing that Li Mingxuan would use violence against them again.

"Big brother..."

Feeling the huge pressure on his shoulders, the short-haired man shouted tremblingly, his voice full of fear and awe.

Li Mingxuan looked at the short-haired man expressionlessly, slowly withdrew his hand, and then said lightly: "Disappear from my sight within ten seconds."

His tone was calm, yet it carried an irresistible majesty.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The short-haired man nodded repeatedly as if he had been pardoned. Then he stood up hurriedly and left with his other companions like a stray dog. He soon disappeared from sight.

Li Mingxuan glanced at Yamazaki casually, then turned and left without hesitation.

"Thank you……"

Seeing that Li Mingxuan didn't pay any attention to the money on him and was even ready to leave, Yamazaki, who had been curled up in the corner, suddenly spoke.

"You're welcome…"

Li Mingxuan responded in a flat tone.

"You are not from Hokkaido..."

At this moment, Yamazaki stood up, as if he had realized something, and he mustered up the courage to speak.

Hearing this, Li Mingxuan's steps paused slightly, and then he turned around, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and asked: "How do you know?"

"Because... those people are well-known gangsters in Hokkaido. The residents here know that they are not easy to mess with, and usually no one dares to mess with them. However, you, big brother, dared to face these people and beat them up."

Yamazaki explained carefully, praying secretly not to anger Li Mingxuan. "Also, your clothes are tattered and look like you have been through a fierce battle, so I infer that you are not a local."

Only then did Li Mingxuan realize that his clothes were torn in many places.

That's right, he was wearing casual clothes, and he directly participated in the war of gods, solved several Klein mysteries, and then went directly to Takamagahara. He had no time to change clothes.

"You're right, I'm indeed not from here." Li Mingxuan nodded slightly to show his agreement, without any shyness on his face.

Because in a way, he was an intruder.

"My name is Kenta Yamazaki, I'm thirteen years old and currently in the first grade of junior high school. How about you, big brother?" Seeing this, Yamazaki took the initiative to introduce himself.

Li Mingxuan was silent for a while, and then he slowly spoke:

"Qian Yu Mingxuan."

"Brother Mingxuan, if you don't have anywhere to go for the time being, would you consider staying at my house for the night? It's already very late, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for saving me just now."

Kenta Yamazaki looked at Li Mingxuan and extended an invitation sincerely.

Hearing this, Li Mingxuan did not respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.

After careful consideration, he felt that Kenta Yamazaki's proposal was indeed feasible.

I have just arrived and am unfamiliar with the place. If I blindly ask around for ways to get to Osaka, I will probably attract unnecessary attention.

Moreover, his previous actions must have aroused the oracle's vigilance. Although he was not afraid of these, it was always better to avoid some troubles.

"Row."

After thinking for a moment, Li Mingxuan nodded and agreed.

......

Half an hour later...

Li Mingxuan followed Kenta Yamazaki to a shabby and slightly mottled wooden door.

This house is obviously a typical Japanese residence: a two-story building located in the courtyard, surrounded by some flowers and plants, but it appears messy and dilapidated due to long-term neglect.

Kenta Yamazaki looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no one else nearby, he took out the key, gently turned the door lock, pushed open the door, and carefully walked into the house.

However, as soon as he stepped into the room, Li Mingxuan couldn't help but frown - he saw muddy footprints all over the floor, as if there had just been a fierce fight here;

The furniture that had been neatly arranged in the house was now scattered all over the place in a mess. Even every cabinet and drawer had been pried open, and all kinds of debris were scattered on the floor, leaving people with nowhere to step.

It's obvious that those ruthless gang members will never show any mercy to those who fail to pay the protection fee on time...

Looking at the mess in front of him, Yamazaki Kenta looked ashamed and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, my house is so messy."

Li Mingxuan quickly scanned the surroundings. When he saw the mess at the scene, he frowned and asked, "Could this be the work of the gangsters?"
