Chapter 556: Chapter 264: Truly Deserving of Being a Dragon Level Designate of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau!_1

Kim Yun Shan chose a barbecue restaurant called ’Beef Sage’, which didn’t have any star ratings, but was said to be a century-old establishment. The King of Goryeo once dined incognito here and, as he enjoyed his meal greatly, he rewarded the owner with a thousand taels of gold and became a regular patron.

As for Goryeo’s cuisine, Lin Baici held no expectations; after all, dining wasn’t his purpose for being here.

At 5:30 PM, Kim Myungjin and Lin Baici arrived at the ’Beef Sage’ barbecue restaurant. After they reported their private room number to the waitress, she immediately notified the manager.

The manager arrived shortly after Kim Myungjin and Lin Baici hadn’t walked far, personally escorting them to their private room.

These were top-tier guests; if Kim Yun Shan and Kim Myungjin dined here a few more times, their patronage alone could significantly increase the restaurant’s fame.

After all, the Jin Sisters’ preferences were considered a trendsetter in the circles of the second generation, with many emulating them.

Three people were already in the private room.

Apart from Kim Yun Shan, there was a man and a woman—the man was quite short with a small mustache on his upper lip, sitting on his knees on a tatami, exuding an unmistakable Japanese aura.

The woman was of average looks, wearing a kimono patterned with cherry blossoms, her black hair arranged into a Yokohama style, the kind of luxurious hairdo that courtesans wore when parading through the streets.

"Is this Kim Yun Shan’s bodyguard or a guest?"

Lin Baici was puzzled as a cloyingly sweet scent filled the air, making him uncomfortable. He rubbed his nose vigorously.

"Myungjin, Baici, come over here!"

Kim Yun Shan called out warmly, foregoing introductions and instructed the waiter to start serving dishes.

Plates of marinated beef were brought out, each from different parts of the cow. Using a pair of tongs, Kim Yun Shan introduced the dishes while helping everyone grill their meat.

[Top-grade Wagyu—it’s a good deal!]

[The most delicious piece is on the left, that plate of tenderloin.]

With the endorsement from the Eater God, Lin Baici put his mind at ease and began to eat heartily.

Soon, the room was filled with smoky aromas, the enticing smell of fat sizzling on the charcoal grill, making the crackling sound that would make anyone’s mouth water.

After a round of barbecuing, Kim Yun Shan sat upright and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

"Myungjin, there will definitely be major changes at home after grandfather’s death. What are your plans with your aunt?"

Kim Yun Shan’s intention in inviting Kim Myungjin out to dinner was to win over her and her mother. With the support of Jin Enxi, Kim Yun Shan would have a stronger voice within the conglomerate.

Kim Dongcheng was useless, but just because he was a man, he could be the heir, which was grossly unfair.

For Kim Yun Shan, her father’s succession was a done deal. Her objective was to grab more of the pie from Kim Dongcheng’s mouth, even if it meant kicking him out.

Kim Myungjin was taken aback—hadn’t grandpa been fine?

Could it be that grandpa didn’t inform Kim Yun Shan?

By rights, Kim Myungjin should be calling Jin Mo ’grandpa-in-law,’ but that term felt distant. Additionally, since Jin Enxi’s husband had married into the family, Kim Myungjin had always referred to Jin Mo as just ’grandpa’.

"Myungjin, as a woman, I understand your hardships, so I will definitely not let you suffer!"

Kim Yun Shan raised her glass and took a sip of the red wine.

Her stance was that of a victor, and Kim Myungjin was keenly interested to see what Kim Yun Shan’s expression would be once she learned that grandpa was unscathed.

Would she be incredibly disappointed?

Thinking this, Kim Myungjin glanced at Lin Baici.

Meeting him was truly wonderful.

Although Kim Myungjin didn’t value material things too much, accustomed to the luxurious life of a chaebol princess, she definitely didn’t want to become just an ordinary rich person.

"Can you help persuade aunt Enxi?"

Kim Yun Shan smiled faintly. Kim Myungjin had no reason to refuse; otherwise, once Kim Dongcheng took control, he would undoubtedly use various means to force her into a political marriage, and even Jin Enxi could become a bargaining chip.

"Do you think my mother would listen to me?"

Kim Myungjin carefully dipped a piece of beef that was grilled to medium rare into the sauce for Lin Baici.

"After all, you’re the person she’s closest to!"

Kim Yun Shan glanced at Lin Baici. What charm did this kid possess that made Kim Myungjin treat him so well? Just because he could fight?

Honestly, if Kim Myungjin hadn’t made her move first, and if fighting over a man with her younger sister wouldn’t sound scandalous, Kim Yun Shan wouldn’t mind keeping such a pet wolf dog herself.

Pleasant to look at, and probably not bad in use either!

Kim Myungjin laughed softly, casually non-committal.

"Which part of Jiuzhou are you from, Lin Oppa?"

Kim Yun Shan wasn’t in a hurry; when Kim Myungjin became desperate, she’d come begging for help.

"Guangqing!"

Lin Baici focused on his meal.

Kim Myungjin felt the Jin family was done for. Kim Dongcheng was an ironclad waste with no ambition, simply waiting to inherit the conglomerate and bask in the glory of the privileged.

Kim Yun Shan had the ambition to make something of herself, but lacked the capability.

Lately, she was only obsessed with fighting for the inheritance and hadn’t noticed what happened at Li Taewoo’s birthday party. Ordinary people certainly couldn’t access such rumors, but Kim Yun Shan surely had the channels to find out. Once she did, her attitude toward Lin Oppa would not be as nonchalant.

She would be awed and willing to pay a much higher price to win him over.

Although the private room had an exhaust fan, the aroma of the grilled meat was still intense, tempting the appetite. However, the persistent sweet, cloying scent was off-putting.

Having such a strong sense of smell wasn’t always good!

Lin Baici sighed.

[Butterfly pollen. If inhaled by males for a prolonged period, it induces an attachment to the scent and ultimately, an infatuation with the creator of the pollen!]

God Hunter commented.

"What?"

Lin Baici frowned deeply. Damn, he had originally thought it was just a woman’s overpowering perfume, not a Taboo thing?

Effective only on males, it clearly targeted him.

Lin Baici was suddenly miffed.

The source of the fragrance was the woman with the courtesan hairstyle. Lin Baici didn’t look at her, but instead, stared at Kim Yun Shan and pulled out the Dream Top from his pocket.

It was a trophy he’d acquired from a member of the Lost Shore.

"How about we play a little game?"

Lin Baici finished speaking and casually spun the small top.

Whirr!

The top started spinning on the table.

"What kind of game..."

Kim Yun Shan subconsciously looked at the small top. Mid-sentence, her whole being suddenly became sluggish, staring intently at the top as if it were the beautiful dream she’d been chasing all her life.

The man with the small mustache and the courtesan had willpowers obviously stronger than Kim Yun Shan’s. They filled their eyes with resistance, trying to pull away from the top’s attraction, but it was so difficult.

Reason told them not to look, but their emotions told them if they didn’t look at this top, they’d never have such sweet dreams again in their lives.

Ah!

The man with the small mustache cried out suddenly, clasping his hands together and snapping his left finger.

Crack!

In the crisp sound of breaking bones, the man with the small mustache regained clarity, then, with a clatter, drew the katana that was by his side.

Meanwhile, the fragrance from the courtesan intensified suddenly, as though it had a revitalizing effect, helping her regain her consciousness.

Lin Baici, seeing that both of them had freed themselves from the dream, put the top away.

Kim Yun Shan’s body shuddered, then she shouted, "Don’t!"

As she spoke, she lunged forward, trying to reach for the top and in her haste, her right hand almost touched the grill of the barbecue stove.

Luckily, the courtesan was quick-witted and grabbed onto Kim Yun Shan’s clothes in time to prevent her from getting burned.

"Miss Kim, please come to your senses!"

The man with the small mustache shouted sternly.

Kim Yun Shan hadn’t recovered yet, but as the courtesan touched her philtrum with her index finger, Kim Yun Shan, smelling that fragrance, slowly regained her senses.

After being dazed for a few seconds, Kim Yun Shan cursed, "What are you doing?"

Damn it!

If not for Hanagawa Nanami, she might have been controlled by him already, right? Just the thought of what he might have done to her...

Umm!

Actually, it wasn’t unacceptable, but she had to be the one on top.

Wait a minute!

What am I even thinking about!

Kim Yun Shan did not know that the pollen Hanagawa Nanami had applied could easily cause obsession with a beautiful thing, and at that moment, Lin Baici was just such a thing to her.

"What do you think?"

Lin Baici took another bite of the barbecue.

"Xiba!"

Kim Yun Shan, dissatisfied with Lin Baici’s attitude, glared at Kim Myungjin, "I am sincerely seeking to cooperate with you, and this is the attitude I get?"

Hanagawa Nanami was holding a teacup in her right hand and supporting the base with her left, leisurely sipping the tea.

Just wait a bit longer!

Once this man inhales enough pollen, he’ll become her admirer. Then, whatever order she gives, he will obey.

"Then how about first making him bark like a dog and live in a doghouse for a few nights?"

Hanagawa Nanami was lost in thought when suddenly, a cup of scalding tea splashed towards her. She instinctively wanted to dodge, but a sixth sense told her that if she did, her head would fall off.

In that moment of hesitation, the tea splashed onto her face.

Splash!

Hanagawa Nanami’s expression immediately changed.

For a God Hunter, the tolerance level is high; even scalding tea wouldn’t burn. But the problem was, getting splashed in the face with water is embarrassing.

What’s worse, the scalding tea was the most effective way to disperse the scent of pollen. Did the Jiuzhou Man do this by accident, or was it deliberate?

"Ever since we entered this room, we’ve been contaminated. I’d like to know why you’re doing this?"

Lin Baici snorted coldly.

If it hadn’t been for Eater God saying scalding tea could purify the contamination, Lin Baici would have been ready to activate Lightning Fast and cut off the courtesan’s head.

Masano Ho, or the man with the small mustache, stiffened; he was aware of his companion’s methods.

Hanagawa Nanami hung her head.

This is bad!

It turns out their scheme had been detected long ago.

This guy wasn’t old, but he was very experienced—a frightening opponent.

"What?"

Kim Yun Shan was puzzled.

"You should be thankful for my mercy!"

Lin Baici glanced at the man and woman from Dongying and then focused on Kim Yun Shan, "Out of respect for you, I haven’t cut off their heads yet!"

Masano Ho’s lips twitched, wanting to retort, but he didn’t have a good enough excuse.

Indeed, at such a close distance, even if he had been influenced by the top for just a second, it would have been enough for Lin Baici to kill him.

He had been calm before because he thought Lin Baici was affected by the influence of Taboo things from his companion.

"Contamination?"

Kim Myungjin slammed her chopsticks onto the table, "Oppa, what’s going on?"

"Ask Miss Kim here!"

Lin Baici continued to eat the barbecue, top-quality Wagyu—it would be a waste not to.

Kim Yun Shan also did not understand what had happened and was about to inquire when someone pushed open the door of the private room, applauding while walking in.

"Brilliant, truly worthy of being a Dragon Level candidate from the Jiuzhou Security Bureau!"
