Chapter 292 Meeting with old friends
In the night sky tonight, there is only a bright moon hanging high, without any stars. In Osaka City, Shimazu Koji was patrolling his territory. Many mafia thugs were eating in a snack street. Seeing Koji coming, they immediately stood up and wanted to salute. Koji waved his hand to indicate that they didn't need to be polite, but there was no need. People stop saluting just because this man is the master of Osaka.
When they reached the stairwell of a building, two strong men who looked like sumo wrestlers stood on both sides. They nodded to Koji. It's not that they don't respect Koji, it's simply because their body types can't bend down...
"Don't let anyone in."
Haoji ordered softly and then walked into the stairs.
When Koji's figure disappeared at the stairs, the two strong men who looked like sumo wrestlers looked at each other, then moved closer to each other, and then turned to face the opposite side of the stairs, like two door gods.
The leader has distinguished guests to meet.
If you come to disturb me, die.
-------------------------------------
"After all these years, I thought you had finally found your own peace."
Under the cherry blossom tree, there is a figure with long black hair in a suit and leather shoes.
Koji strolled up to the rooftop, which was his secret meeting place. It was well decorated. Shimazu Akiko once said that this was Koji's "hanging garden" because there were many cherry blossom trees planted here.
Hao Er looked at the familiar figure with some confusion, and then he smiled and said.
The light reflected from the red cherry blossoms hit John, as if his body was stained with blood. He stood quietly, as if admiring the beauty of the cherry blossoms, or feeling the fragrance of the cherry blossoms. But when he heard Hao Er's voice, he slowly lowered his head, and then turned to look at Hao Er.
That look was contradictory and complicated. But Haoji could see the fire in John's deep eyes.
"Well, obviously not." Koji said helplessly. "Although I heard that there is a Yanguo person beside you to help you, but... I understand you, John."
"You are the one who killed the elder."
"Killing the elders is a very unwise choice, my friend." Haoji made a "please" gesture and motioned for John to sit aside and chat with him. As he walked, he said: "Their response was to destroy Continental Hotel New York.”
"My daughter is very worried. We will be the next ones to suffer."
"...Where's Winston?" John frowned and slowly walked towards Hao Er.
"Still alive, but missing." Koji said softly, "They shot his concierge."
“Set as a warning to others.”
The tea is poured into the cup and white steam rises.
"Have you ever thought about how all this will end?" Hao Er raised his eyes and looked at John, "The High Table will never stop, you know."
"They only take lives and bring death."
"Koji..." John turned his head apologetically and said in a somewhat jerky Japanese, "I'm sorry."
"A friend in need is a friend indeed, John." Hao Er smiled with relief and spoke in fluent English.
Just like when the two sides taught each other their mother tongue.
The two of them raised their glasses together and replaced the wine with tea. The hot tea entered their throats. It was bitter but sweet, and their mouths were filled with the fragrance of tea leaves.
"Speaking of which..." Koji put the cup down gently, tilted his head, looked at the "empty" cherry blossom tree aside, and said softly, "I think you should introduce your new friend to me, John. "
"Yes." John nodded slightly, and then looked at the cherry blossom tree as well, "Don't forget what you promised me, Koji is my friend."
"Ms. Akiko is still my friend." A low synthesized sound sounded, and the honeycomb-shaped blood red and black slowly emerged. It was Chen Yan who had lifted the optical camouflage. "To be honest, based on seniority, I should call Mr. Shimazu uncle, but Miss Akiko is not my type, so I forget it."
Hao Er looked at Chen Yan who suddenly appeared with some surprise. He was actually confused. He just guessed that the blood dragon might be lurking nearby, but he really didn't expect that someone could actually become invisible in a certain place without leaving any trace, and then appear out of thin air. Appear.
Wait, he just said Mingzi is his friend? !
Thinking of her daughter's previous evaluation of the "Blood Dragon", Akiko must have no idea who the Blood Dragon is, and Akiko must be partially hostile to John and the Blood Dragon because they may threaten herself and the Osaka continent. Hotel security.
But the unknown Yanguo man in front of him didn't seem to be lying.
really weird.
"I'm very grateful for your kindness to my daughter, Mr. Blood Dragon, but I don't think Akiko knows you." Koji said kindly, "Please sit down, would you like a cup of hot tea?"
"Thank you, but forget it. I prefer to drink the authentic Dahongpao." Chen Yan walked to John's side with steps that he didn't recognize, and sat down with a golden sword, looking around like a curious baby. . "This place is quite nice, Mr. Shimazu."
"Just call me Hao Er. After all, you are also John's friend." Hao Er nodded, "Thank you for your compliment, but let's get straight to the point."
"Are you here to solve the High Table's problems?"
"Actually..." John said hesitantly, "The High Table has found an old friend of ours to deal with us."
"Retirement is not easy, isn't it?" Koji seemed to have thought of something and said helplessly, "They found Kane."
"Master Ye's weakness lies in the hands of Gao Desi." Chen Yan knocked on the table and whispered, "His daughter."
As if thinking of Akiko, Koji's face looked a little ugly at this time. Although he knew that these were the rules of this world, and although he knew that the High Table's code of conduct was so inhumane, he still thought that maybe this would be his own end. , his precious daughter might also face such a fate, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
"Miss Akiko is a strong woman, Mr. Haoji." Chen Yan looked at Haoji's reaction and was not surprised. After all, in the original movie, Haoji died under the sword of Master Ye in order to save his daughter. .
All I can say is that the battle between daughters and slaves is so terrifying.
"Besides, the Miss Akiko I know is not a simple vase. She is fully capable of protecting herself."
After all, when I first debuted, I almost didn't get stabbed to death by Miss Akiko (Chapter 79 plot). At that time, Miss Akiko was working for Mr. Winston at the Continental Hotel in New York, and her job was to be the front desk concierge.
It stands to reason that in the original work, Miss Mingzi went after Master Ye in the end. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this was Master Ye trying to give Miss Mingzi a reason to live. Revenge is the simplest thing.
But the timeline where I am located is obviously not like this.
What exactly did the "Blood Dragon", or the future self, do in this timeline?
