Chapter 351: Chapter 266: The Port Master of Three ’Goods’: Beauties, Delicacies, and Wealth

This was Yokoyama Daisuke’s seventh year as the Port Guardian of Bobin Port.

In those seven years, besides earning a massive fortune for his family, Yokoyama Daisuke had also acquired the nickname "the Three-Good Port Guardian."

These so-called "three goods" were a love for beautiful women, a love for fine food, and a love for money.

The three were in no particular order.

As for this "elegant title," Yokoyama Daisuke was fully aware of it, yet he felt not the slightest shame. On the contrary, he considered it a form of praise.

Today was no exception. In his lavishly extravagant Port Guardian’s Mansion, he was savoring top-tier seafood freshly caught from the deep sea. Beside him, several beautiful maids massaged his shoulders and legs. Life couldn’t be more comfortable.

But just as he swallowed a mouthful of bluefin tuna belly, savoring the sensation of the fat bursting in his mouth, someone came running in from outside in a panic.

"Lord Port Guardian, something terrible has happened!"

Yokoyama Daisuke’s brow furrowed slightly, the good mood brought on by the delicious food instantly swept away.

But as a high-ranking nobleman, he had to maintain his composure at all times. Thus, Yokoyama Daisuke said coolly, "What is it?"

"A giant navy ship has returned," the servant stammered, trembling.

Hearing this, Yokoyama Daisuke, who had just raised his chopsticks, set them down again, his brows knitting together.

"Are you sure you saw it clearly?"

"Absolutely certain. The giant ship is anchored just outside the port right now. You’ll see for yourself if you go to the shore."

"Strange..." Yokoyama Daisuke murmured, feeling puzzled.

He wasn’t particularly surprised by the giant ship’s return.

After all, having personally witnessed the power of firearms and great cannons, he couldn’t imagine what methods Great Yan could possibly have to counter such weapons.

Therefore, in his view, the fleet must have already succeeded in capturing the Huangpu Guard.

What surprised him was why this giant ship would take a long detour to Bobin Port.

He knew that Divine Gate Port was the closest port to Great Yan; if the ship was carrying news of a victory, it should have gone there.

However, this confusion lasted only for a moment before Yokoyama Daisuke made his decision.

"Prepare a boat!"

"Yes!"

The servant immediately went to make the preparations.

With the help of his maids, Yokoyama Daisuke donned the extremely intricate and luxurious ceremonial attire of a Port Guardian.

Regardless, when soldiers returned from an expedition, it was his duty as the highest-ranking official of Bobin Port to personally welcome them.

Soon, he arrived at the shore.

Sure enough, a giant ship was anchored on the sea in the distance, and it appeared completely undamaged, with no signs of battle.

Seeing this, Yokoyama Daisuke couldn’t help but feel relieved.

It was obvious this ship had returned to report a great victory; otherwise, it wouldn’t be in such pristine condition.

At this thought, Yokoyama Daisuke immediately boarded a boat and headed straight for the giant ship.

When he arrived before the giant ship, he immediately saw Ota Masayuki standing at the bow, and the last shred of doubt in his heart vanished without a trace.

He was all too familiar with this young master of the Ota family.

In particular, because of their shared love for fine food, they had become friends despite their age difference.

So he immediately waved his arm and called out enthusiastically to Ota Masayuki, "Ota! Quickly, over here!"

Ota Masayuki responded with equal enthusiasm, while discreetly saying to Wu Liangchen, who stood behind him, "That’s Yokoyama Daisuke, the Port Guardian of Bobin Port. He’s of noble birth, and though he’s greedy and lecherous, he has a sharp mind. He’s a difficult opponent."

Wu Liangchen remained silent, merely glancing at Yokoyama Daisuke and the guards behind him.

’Hm, their skills aren’t bad, but they probably wouldn’t last three seconds against me.’

Wu Liangchen quickly came to this conclusion, then followed Ota Masayuki onto the other boat.

His current identity was that of Ota Masayuki’s personal bodyguard, so naturally, he had to follow him at all times.

Yokoyama Daisuke paid this no mind. The moment they met, he gave Ota Masayuki a warm hug.

"Ota, my friend, we parted several months ago. I never thought we’d meet here today."

Ota Masayuki smiled. "Indeed. I remember last time we feasted together for seven straight days. The delicious taste still lingers in my memory."

"HAHAHA! That feast was certainly memorable. But this time will be no less impressive! I’ve gathered another batch of precious ingredients and have even researched a few new ways to prepare them. We absolutely must indulge ourselves this time."

It was clear that Yokoyama Daisuke was in high spirits.

Ota Masayuki certainly wasn’t going to spoil his mood. He nodded with a wide smile.

"Then I’ll be imposing on you!"

"Not at all, not at all! Come, let’s head back to the port together."

Yokoyama Daisuke took Ota Masayuki by the hand and led him toward the cabin, while Wu Liangchen and the others were left outside.

But he paid no mind to this, instead turning his head to look at the giant ship behind them.

At the bow of the ship, Yan Feng gave him a slight nod, signaling that all arrangements had been made and everything was proceeding according to plan.

Seeing this, Wu Liangchen couldn’t help but feel at ease.

He knew that this Yan Feng was very capable and extremely diligent in his work. Therefore, Wu Liangchen was confident in leaving the giant ship in his hands.

What’s more, with Chen Baimei providing covert assistance on board, it was practically foolproof.

And so, the boat docked, and Wu Liangchen followed Ota Masayuki to the Port Guardian’s Mansion.

The bodyguards, including him, were shown to an outer chamber, while Ota Masayuki and Yokoyama Daisuke feasted in the inner chamber, separated by a large folding screen.

However, with Wu Liangchen’s sensory abilities, the screen might as well not have been there; he could hear the conversation inside as clear as day.
