So the question was, if the gentle approach didn't work, why not use force?
Taking a deep breath, Big Brother Yokota raised his hand and shouted, "Tie these three beauties up and take them to my room! Be careful not to hurt them. They are all virgins, and I want to be the one to properly deflower them!"
"Yes, Boss!" More than twenty men in black each pulled out a large, thick, black club and held it.
The twenty-plus men in black compared their own combat strength to the ridiculously weak combat strength of the three women opposite them. The result was obvious: they would definitely win in the end. No! Not win! It would be a complete annihilation!
If that was the case, what was there to fear? It was like a dragon riding a face—just charge straight in! Thus, the twenty-plus men in black confidently rushed toward Illustrious and the others.
Seeing the twenty-plus men in black charging at Illustrious and the others, the other Rulers did not step forward to help, as they knew these people couldn't even touch a hair on the three women.
The twenty-plus men in black and the three women began to fight, and the scene was intense.
"Ouch!..."
"Help!..."
"Holy crap, why are these three women so strong!..."
"Mommy, come save me..."
In less than half a minute, the twenty-plus men in black were knocked down by the three women. Illustrious stepped on Nishimura Yuji's butt and said fiercely, "Fight! Why aren't you fighting now? Weren't you quite tough?"
"Hiss!" Big Brother Yokota couldn't help but gasp. These three women were terrifying! They had knocked out over twenty of his subordinates in half a minute.
"heroines, please spare us! We were wrong, this was all Boss's instruction. We were just following orders. Please be merciful and let us go," Nishimura Yuji immediately pleaded sincerely.
"Damn it, you bunch of useless idiots! You couldn't even defeat three women, what good are you?" Big Brother Yokota was enraged when he saw his subordinates defeated so easily. He immediately pulled out a Handgun, pointed it at Illustrious, and said, "Stand still obediently. Bullets have no eyes. If it accidentally misfires and blows a hole through your heads, it won't be funny."
Illustrious and the others immediately stopped when they saw Big Brother Yokota's Handgun.
Seeing this, Big Brother Yokota was very pleased. "Didn't expect this, did you, three beauties? I have a Handgun. This thing is extremely lethal. There are six bullets inside, and one bullet is enough to take your lives."
"The Boss is still the best! I knew you could deal with these three women," Nishimura Yuji immediately flattered him after seeing Big Brother Yokota aim the Handgun at Illustrious.
"You brat! I'll settle the score with you properly after I'm done with these three women. Why are you standing around? Hurry up and tie them up with ropes," Big Brother Yokota ordered the three men in black who were not seriously injured.
The three men in black slowly stood up, each pulling a rope from their suit. Their suits were specially made to hold three items: a knife, a club, and a rope. These three items were mandatory for every member of the gang to carry at all times to handle the various situations a gang might face.
For instance, right now, they intended to use these ropes to tie up Illustrious and the other two.
"Hmph! Do you really think we'll just surrender?" Illustrious said with a disdainful tone. "What, did you three not get enough of a beating just now? You want to get thrashed again? Fine! Come at me if you have the guts! But this time, I'll definitely break your limbs so you can't stand up again."
"It won't be against the law for us to hit ordinary people like this, will it?" Asuna asked worriedly.
"It won't, trust me! I can guarantee we're not in the wrong; after all, it's self-defense!" Alice said fiercely. "I advise you not to come any closer, or you'll die."
The three men in black were stunned by their words. They knew how formidable these three women were. Despite appearing to be ordinary girls, they had taken down over twenty of their men in just half a minute. Why did they possess such terrifying combat power?
Seeing his three subordinates actually intimidated by these three women, Boss Yokota was instantly infuriated. "You three idiots, I have a gun in my hand! What are you afraid of? They're just bluffing. Get them, or I'll put three bullets in you myself!"
Looking at Boss Yokota's handgun, the three subordinates had no choice but to act. Compared to being shot by Boss Yokota's gun, the three women opposite them seemed much easier to deal with.
The three subordinates ran over, believing that these women were also afraid of Boss Yokota's gun and wouldn't dare to easily lay a hand on them.
"Thud, thud, thud...!"
Just as the three men in black reached the women, they were sent flying by their strikes, finally falling to the ground and losing consciousness.
Seeing his three subordinates taken out, Boss Yokota grew angry and moved against Illustrious first.
"Bang!"
Boss Yokota pulled the trigger, and the handgun fired. The bullet was incredibly fast, reaching Illustrious in an instant.
The incoming bullet seemed fast to an ordinary person, but in Illustrious's eyes, it was as slow as a snail. She raised her right hand and, with a 'bang,' slapped the bullet out of its original trajectory.
Seeing Illustrious easily swat away the bullet with her bare hand without injury, Boss Yokota was shocked. Swatting a bullet barehanded—was she even human? "Die, you monster!"
Terrified, Boss Yokota fired repeatedly. Five bullets left the muzzle and shot toward Illustrious in a burst.
Illustrious looked at the five bullets with utter disdain. With a few waves of her right hand, she caught all the bullets in her palm.
At this moment, Boss Yokota was shocked once again. Catching bullets barehanded—how could she be this strong?
After crushing the bullets in her hand into powder, Illustrious vanished from her spot and appeared before Boss Yokota's eyes in the blink of an eye. Looking at this monster that even bullets couldn't hit, Boss Yokota panicked.
He pulled the trigger, but only a few 'click-click' sounds followed; he was out of ammo. Boss Yokota grew even more afraid; without bullets in his gun, he was no match for Illustrious at all.
Illustrious snatched the handgun, snapped it in half, and tossed it behind her. "Don't bring out this toy to make a fool of yourself. Let me show you what a real attack looks like."
Seeing Illustrious throw away the broken gun, Boss Yokota became enraged. "Don't get so full of yourself! Die, you bitch!"
Boss Yokota clenched his fingers into a fist and swung it ruthlessly toward Illustrious's chest, intending to knock her down with one punch.
Watching the approaching fist, Illustrious's eyes were filled with disdain. This made Boss Yokota even angrier, and he increased his strength further.
When the fist was only half a foot away from her, Illustrious moved, taking a small step to the left.
The fist swung down but achieved nothing. The moment the punch missed, Illustrious clenched her own fist and struck toward Boss Yokota's stomach.
When her fist was only a centimeter away from Boss Yokota, Illustrious stopped, but the powerful pressure compressed the air into an air cannon that sent Boss Yokota flying.
Boss Yokota landed five meters away in a parabolic arc. With a 'pfft,' a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth. As he looked at Illustrious, his face was filled with terror.
"Get out!" Illustrious said in a cold tone.
Seeing that Illustrious wasn't going to finish them off, Boss Yokota and the twenty-some men in black on the ground were overjoyed and immediately scrambled away from this dangerous place.
"Alright, those small fries have been driven off. Everyone, keep eating! Don't stop. Today we must drink until we drop," Alice said to the group.
Seeing Alice drive away the men in black, the players began to discuss among themselves.
"Alice is truly amazing, taking down those men in black in just a few moves."
"Isn't she? Those men in black were really stupid. Of all the people to provoke, they chose the Three Goddesses of the Clearing Group. It was practically a death wish."
"I know their leader, Boss Yokota. He's the head of the Morita Group. Back then, my neighbor's daughter was ruined by him! I think letting them go like this was too easy on them. He should have at least been beaten until he couldn't care for himself."
Illustrious and the others sat back in their original seats and began feasting with everyone, while Alice secretly whispered to Jinno Rinko, "Those people won't let this go. You know what to do, right?"
"Mm! I've already called the authorities. In a moment, those people will all be arrested and thrown in jail by the police," Jinno Rinko whispered calmly... An hour later, Boss Yokota returned to the Morita Group headquarters in a black car. He was furious, feeling like he had lost face. To think that he, the dignified leader of the Morita Group, had been so insulted by three bitches—this was simply unbearable!
"Get all the weapons in our group out, especially the RPG rocket launcher. I want that woman named Illustrious to die before my eyes," Boss Yokota said with a sinister look in his eyes.
"Boss, that stuff is illegal! If we fire it, we'll end up in jail!" Nishimura Yuji reminded him.
"Slap!"
Boss Yokota slapped Nishimura Yuji, knocking him to the ground. "Screw the law! We're a gang! We've been bullied like this, how can we just take it lying down? If the other groups find out, they'll laugh themselves to death."
"Boss! I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'll immediately tell the brothers to get all the weapons from the armory and go kill those three women." Nishimura Yuji immediately left the area and ran toward the armory.
A moment later, all the members of the group gathered in the courtyard, numbering over a hundred people. Everyone was holding weapons, mostly handguns and submachine guns.
Boss Yokota had an RPG rocket launcher propped on his shoulder.
"Brothers, we set out now to kill those three bitches!" Standing on a high platform in the courtyard, Boss Yokota tossed away the cigarette in his mouth and shouted domineeringly to the brothers below.
"Yes, Boss!" the three hundred-some men in black below shouted powerfully.
Just as Boss Yokota was about to head out, Nishimura Yuji ran over in a panic and said to him, "Boss, this is bad! Something has happened!"
"What is it? Being so frantic just shames our Morita Group. Hurry up and say what happened," Boss Yokota frowned and said displeasurably.
"Our Morita Group's nightclub has been shut down," Nishimura Yuji said quickly.
"On what grounds?" Boss Yokota asked in confusion.
"A group of police suddenly rushed in and found drugs, so the nightclub was shut down on the spot," Nishimura Yuji explained.
"This is bad, Boss! Our restaurant has been shut down!" another man in black ran over and said to Boss Yokota.
"And why was this one shut down?" Boss Yokota said angrily.
The man in black said hurriedly, "The Food Health Bureau brought people in and found that we were using expired beef. They said our sanitation was below standard, so we were shut down."
"It's terrible, Boss! Our hotel has been shut down!" yet another man in black ran over and said to Boss Yokota.
Boss Yokota's anger was like a volcano about to erupt. "Which bureau shut it down this time? Isn't the hotel our legitimate business? There are no girls there, no drugs, and certainly no expired food! Why would it still be shut down?"
The man in black looked at Big Brother Yokota in fear and said, "The fire department shut us down. They said our fire equipment was two days past its expiration date, so they had to seal the hotel."
Slap!
Big Brother Yokota slapped the man in black. "Screw you! Shutting us down for being only two days past expiration? They're clearly looking for trouble. Didn't you tell them our hotel belongs to the Morita Group?"
The man in black, now on the ground, clutched his face and said aggrievedly, "I did! But they didn't stop and kept sealing it up. I couldn't stop them at all."
Big Brother Yokota's face darkened as he roared at Nishimura Yuji, "Nishimura Yuji! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and call Councilman Shirayama and have him step in to resolve this!"
"Oh, oh, oh! Understood, I'll call right away." Nishimura Yuji picked up the phone and called Councilman Shirayama.
"Hello, Lord Shirayama! Sorry to disturb you, our boss has encountered some issues and needs you... What? Is that how it is? Okay, I will pass the word to the boss." Nishimura Yuji put away his phone, his face turning pale.
Seeing Nishimura Yuji's pale expression, Big Brother Yokota had an ominous premonition. "Why is your face so pale? What did Councilman Shirayama say?"
"Councilman Shirayama said he can't help us. He said we offended someone we shouldn't have offended." Nishimura Yuji swallowed hard and continued, "Not only that, he said the matter of him helping us smuggle arms has been exposed. Now a large group from the Ground Self-Defense Force is rushing over here to arrest us."
Upon hearing the news that even Councilman Shirayama couldn't solve the problem, Big Brother Yokota slumped to the ground. "Someone we shouldn't have offended... could it be those three women? We're finished! It seems we've hit a steel plate this time."
"What do we do, Boss?!" Nishimura Yuji said in a panic.
"What else can we do? Run! Run as far as possible! My mom was right; the more beautiful a woman is, the more you shouldn't mess with her. If I had listened to her, it wouldn't have ended up like this," Big Brother Yokota said listlessly.
Just as Big Brother Yokota was about to flee, countless infrared lasers aimed at their bodies. Two helicopters hovered overhead, and a large group of Ground Self-Defense Force soldiers surrounded them, aiming well-equipped automatic rifles at them.
