After taking over from the previous Port Mafia boss, Mori Ougai's first order of business was to summon a certain executive home, someone who had spent years away on business.
According to legend, this executive was mysterious and difficult to control, the most uncontrollable time bomb in the entire Mafia.
Lin Jiuyuan, hopelessly addicted to slacking off, only capable of swindling, tricking, bluffing, and mocking: ??? Who are you talking about? I don't remember us having an executive like that.
Mori Ougai: ...Isn't that you?
Lin Jiuyuan was confused.
Still, confused or not, as long as the salary was good, why worry? A boss with a few loose screws was a minor problem that wouldn't affect him at all, right? He'd just slack off every day, collect his small paycheck, and live a peaceful life. Ideally, he wouldn't get involved in any of that troublesome nonsense.
Although Lin Jiuyuan ultimately failed to escape Yokohama's curse and had to watch a bunch of people scheme and spar with one another every day, at least he did manage to achieve a peaceful life.
You ask how? Don't ask. He just beat the tar out of everyone who tried to drag him into their mess.
Do you understand how impressive physically ascending to heaven is? (Seriously.)
