Of course Ryuzaki Shin wouldn't refuse.
He didn't even speak.
That big hand suddenly exerted force!
"Sizzle!"
Asuka Uehara screamed and subconsciously wanted to cover it with her hands, but Ryuzaki Makoto's aggressive kiss fell again like a storm!
Asuka felt her mind go blank.
Until she regained some clarity of mind.
She subconsciously lowered her head, and her already blurred beautiful eyes widened instantly!
I saw that the home clothes I was wearing had already turned into a few rags.
Long Qizhen looked at the vivid scene in front of him!
When Asuka Uehara saw Ryuzaki Shin's hungry wolf-like eyes, she felt shy and scared, but there was also a hint of expectation that she herself had not noticed.
She said coquettishly: "Really, let's... let's go upstairs..."
The curve of Long Qizhen's mouth became more evil.
"Which floor?"
"I look here, it's just right."
After saying that, he didn't even give Asuka any chance to react!
Asuka exclaimed and subconsciously put her arms around his neck
Being in such a place made her feel extremely ashamed and excited.
She was about to say something when the man's domineering kiss blocked all her sounds again.
…
for a long time.
Everything finally returned to peace.
"Carry me upstairs, please..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Ryuzaki Shin laughed out loud.
Little guy, can't I subdue you?
He picked up Asuka and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor with big strides.
…
There was steam rising from the huge bathtub.
Asuka Uehara leaned lazily on Ryuzaki Shin's solid chest, letting his powerful hands wander on her smooth, silky skin.
She found a comfortable position and lay down, her beautiful watery eyes looking at Ryuzaki Makoto with a hint of temptation.
"Hubby, I...I want to tell you something..."
When Ryuzaki Shin heard this name, his eyebrows raised slightly.
What is this woman trying to do?
He smiled, pinched it lightly, and said lazily:
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Asuka finally mustered up the courage and whispered, "Really? I went to the beauty salon on the commercial street today. I looked at their annual membership, and the services are quite comprehensive, including full-body SPA, skin care, and yoga body shaping..."
When Ryuzaki Shin heard this, he understood instantly.
He looked at the woman in his arms and smiled inwardly.
It turns out that I wanted to do maintenance.
That's fine, after all, women all love beauty.
What's more, if she takes good care of herself, won't she be happy?
Think of this.
"Just do it if you want to. I promise."
Asuka's pretty face turned red.
She quickly continued, "It's just... it's a bit expensive. It costs three million a year..."
"I bought some cosmetics these days, and with the household expenses, I still have 7 million yen left. If I get a membership card..."
"That's all the money?"
Ryuzaki Shin interrupted her directly. Looking at Asuka's cautious look, he felt both angry and amused.
"Asuka, you don't need to report to me about spending money in the future."
"I'll apply for a card tomorrow and deposit money into it from time to time. Feel free to use it."
He paused, and his tone became extremely domineering.
"The money you spend is nothing compared to what I earn."
When Asuka Uehara heard this, her heart felt sweet. She knew that this man really regarded her as his woman.
She couldn't bear it any longer, so she turned around and planted a loving kiss on the face that was filled with an evil smile.
When Long Qizhen saw her like this, he felt warm in his heart.
He knew that although Asuka might appear cautious at times due to her inferiority complex, her essence was that of a very real and down-to-earth woman.
A man spends money when he has it, saves money when he doesn't, and doesn't make a fuss. Who wouldn't like such a woman?
The two of them were affectionate in the bathtub for a while before wiping each other's bodies and returning to the soft big bed.
Ryuzaki Zhen thought that he would occupy Renyi Ichibangai the day after tomorrow, so he would definitely be outside making preparations tomorrow night and would not be able to come back.
He held Asuka in his arms, kissed her smooth forehead, and said softly:
"Asuka, I have something to discuss tomorrow, so I won't be back tonight."
Asuka's body visibly stiffened.
She looked at Ryuzaki Makoto, and her eyes, which were originally full of tenderness and affection, were instantly covered with a layer of worry.
"Really... there won't be any danger, right?"
Long Qizhen laughed. He knew that this silly woman was daydreaming again.
"Don't worry, it's just a normal business talk."
Asuka finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then she seemed to remember something, and a very complicated emotion flashed in her beautiful watery eyes.
She lay on Ryuzaki Shin's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and asked timidly in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum:
"Then...will there be...other women?"
When Ryuzaki Shin heard this, he burst into laughter.
Women, oh women, you are such strange creatures, thinking about all sorts of messes in your heads all day long.
He looked at the anxious woman in his arms and thought to himself:
My view on women is to go with the flow. More is not too much, and less is not too little.
It's actually pretty good now. If there are more, I won't be able to handle it.
And now that he is still pursuing his career, he doesn't have so many thoughts about women.
Plus, Asuka has now transformed into a succubus.
With my current kidney condition, even if I wanted to have one, I couldn't do it!
He reached out his hand, gently pinched Asuka's delicate face, and said in a doting tone:
"What are you thinking? They are just clients who need to be entertained."
"You are enough for me."
Asuka Uehara felt so sweet in her heart after hearing his words. She knew that she had really found the man she could entrust her life to.
She couldn't bear it any longer and turned over suddenly!
Ryuzaki Shin was shocked by her sudden action.
"Hey! What are you doing?!"
Asuka Uehara showed an extremely charming smile on her face.
That smile was full of endless temptation.
Oh my god…
This damn woman...
The next day, at night, 11:55.
Renyi Ichibangai, the melting pot of desire in Toaru City, is at the busiest time of the day.
Colorful neon signs painted the wet streets with a strange color, and the air was filled with the turbid smell of alcohol, barbecue and cheap perfume.
Scantily clad women were soliciting customers at the store entrance, and drunken office workers were arm in arm, looking for the next fun.
The streets and alleys are full of groups of bad boys with fierce eyes.
However, in this neighborhood full of noise and desire, a group of uninvited guests appeared quietly.
They were divided into groups of five, wearing uniform black masks on their faces, like ghosts emerging from the shadows.
…
A pachinko parlor that does a booming business.
The "clang, clang, clang" sound of steel balls hitting each other and the gamblers' frenzied roars almost blew the entire roof off.
Suddenly, more than twenty men wearing black masks walked in silently.
They did not speak or take any action. They just stood quietly, scattered in various corners, looking at everyone present with their cold eyes that were devoid of any emotion.
That look made all the gamblers shudder.
The frenzied atmosphere cooled down instantly.
The gamblers looked at each other, and finally, someone couldn't stand the suffocating oppression anymore. He was the first to stand up and left cursing.
One, two, three...
Soon, the entire pachinko parlor became empty.
…
In front of a bustling entertainment shop.
Several girls in cool clothes were facing passers-by and soliciting business in sweet voices.
Suddenly, more than a dozen black figures appeared in front of them.
They also didn't speak, but each of them held a cigarette, lit it, and then blew the thick smoke towards the girls.
The oppressive silence made the faces of the girls, who were originally smiling coquettishly, turn pale in an instant.
They didn't even dare to say "Baga" and ran back to the store screaming like frightened deer.
…
A roadside stall on the street corner.
The stall owner was busy, sweating profusely and humming a tuneless tune.
Suddenly, several black figures appeared in front of him.
The leader, without saying a word, kicked the rather sturdy table to the ground!
The soup spilled all over the floor.
The stall owner was so frightened that he was about to beg for mercy.
But I saw the man took out a thick stack of Japanese yen from his pocket and threw it on the ground.
That thickness was at least twice as much as all his losses tonight.
"We've booked this place for tonight, get out of here."
A cold voice, without a trace of emotion.
…
Just ten minutes.
All the shops still open along the entire Renyi No. 1 Street were "cleared out" in the same way.
The noise turned into dead silence.
On the streets, the only ones left were those peripheral members of the armed front who were still confused about the situation, and those members of the True Dragon Society who stood silently in every corner like ghosts.
The silent confrontation made the air freeze.
The storm is coming.
…
Deep in the street is the most luxurious brothel - "Jiuledian".
In the VIP box, Jiu Neng Yi Sheng was half-closing his eyes, enjoying the gentle massage from two scantily clad women.
There was top-quality sake on the table, and the air was filled with an intoxicating and ambiguous atmosphere.
"Bang!"
The door of the box was pushed open roughly!
A trusted younger brother rushed in in panic, his voice trembling with fear.
"Brother Yisheng! No... It's bad! Outside... There's a large group of people outside, and they've cleared out our place!"
The Nine Powers and One Saint's joy was interrupted, and a trace of extremely displeased coldness flashed in those eyes that always had a hint of viciousness.
He slowly pushed away the two still trembling women beside him and slowly sat up from the sofa.
An extremely cruel smile appeared on his face.
"oh?"
"Finally, there are some fearless people who dare to come to my Renyi Ichiban Street to cause trouble?"
"Just right, my bones are almost rusty lately."
"I'm already upset that my brother is in the hospital, and tonight I'm going to relieve myself!"
He walked out of the store and saw the messy street outside and the group of silent men in black opposite. His face instantly became gloomy.
Damn, there are too many people here, we need to call for help!
The Nine Powers and One Saint roared at the younger brothers around him who were also looking stunned:
"Call the men! Call everyone who can breathe over here!"
"Tonight, we're going to let them know who's in charge here!"
…
At the end of the street, a low-key and luxurious Toyota Century was parked quietly in the shadows.
"Brother Zhen, aren't we going down?"
Yu Sasaki, the co-pilot, looked at the tense scene in front of him and his palms were sweating with excitement.
"This momentum is so cool! It's just like a movie!"
In the back seat, Ryuzaki Shin was still resting with his eyes closed, a playful curve at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't even raise his eyelids, but just said lightly:
"Xiaoyou, if Izaki and the others can't even handle this kind of situation, the True Dragon Society should disband as soon as possible."
"Our journey extends beyond this small street."
Ryuzaki Shin looked at Nakamura who was in the driver's seat, and his voice returned to calm.
"Uncle Nakamura, have you contacted your old friends?"
Nakamura looked through the rearview mirror at Ryuzaki Makoto's young and evil face with a complicated look in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment before slowly nodding.
"I have conveyed your meaning."
"They said... they would consider it."
Ryuzaki Shin smiled and said nothing more.
He glanced at the time on his phone, and the screen clearly displayed—
Midnight, 00:00.
He spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
The voice was so calm, as if it was talking about a trivial matter.
"Time is up."
"The farce is about to end."
…
On the street, two torrents of water were facing each other from a distance.
On the armed front, two or three hundred people emerged one after another from various corners.
They were dressed in a variety of clothes, some wore ripped special attack uniforms, some wore fancy Hawaiian shirts, and some even rushed out in baseball uniforms.
The weapons in their hands were even more varied, including water pipes, baseball bats, knives, and some people even carried beer bottles.
The entire formation was in disarray, with shouting and whistling coming one after another, like a group of undisciplined street thugs.
And the other side.
At the end of the street, there was a sound of uniform, heavy footsteps.
The sound was like a war drum, and every beat struck hard on everyone's heart.
The trio of Izaki Shun, Serizawa, Makise, Chuta, Tokaji, and Ebizuka...
All the core cadres of the True Dragon Society walked in the front row. Each of them had a stern expression and a strong aura.
Behind them was a dark mass.
Four or five hundred elite members of the True Dragon Society, dressed in uniform black combat uniforms, were silent and marched in unison.
The golden coiled dragon pattern on the back of the combat uniform appears majestic and oppressive under the colorful neon lights.
The cold, tangible murderous aura instantly overwhelmed the noisy and chaotic atmosphere of the armed front!
Jiu Neng Yi Sheng looked at the disciplined team in front of him and felt a little uneasy.
He was just about to speak and say a few polite words to boost his morale.
The cadres on the opposite side have already begun their own pre-war mobilization.
Izaki Shun slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing the gold Rolex watch on his wrist that gleamed golden under the light. He sneered at the group of equally fanatical younger brothers behind him:
"Look carefully, boys! I earned this watch in just one month by following the boss!"
"Tonight, we're not fighting, we're fighting for money and territory!"
"Take down those scumbags across the street and rush into their store. Whoever occupies the store will be in charge. How much you can take depends on your ability!"
"This is the first step for all of us to become the better people. If we don't want to be at the bottom of society our whole lives, we need to show our true abilities and fight for a better future!"
"We don't have many chances to change our destiny in life, but today is it!"
Serizawa Tamao was even more direct. He clenched his fists, his knuckles crackling with a loud "bang" sound, and roared at his former subordinates, who were also excited.
"Don't listen to that Izaki guy's nonsense! I just want you to remember one thing!"
"Knock down all the guys standing on the opposite side!"
"Let them know who is the king of this jungle!"
Makise Takashi was like a mad rhino. He pointed at the opposite side and roared hoarsely:
"Brothers! When we were in Lily of the Valley, we fought to avoid being bullied! Today! We fight to make ourselves the best!"
"For Brother Zhen! For the True Dragon Society! Charge——!!!"
"Ooo ...
Nearly five hundred elite members of the True Dragon Society were completely ignited by the words of their own cadres!
There is a blazing fire in their eyes!
Endless passion surges in their hearts!
Not for anything else, just for money and power!
Ryuzaki Shin never brags, he just puts all the benefits clearly in front of his subordinates.
If you want it, then grab it, fight for it, and kill for it!
Can't get it?
Then blame yourself for not being capable enough.
The Nine Powers and One Saint looked at the scene before them, which was like a shot of chicken blood, and roared fiercely but weakly:
"Who the hell are you?!"
However, the only response he got was Izaki Shun's cold gesture.
He slowly raised his hand, then suddenly swung it down!
"--kill!"
Next second!
The True Dragon Society, this giant dragon that had just awakened, was like a black tide, carrying a monstrous arrogance that could devour everything, and instantly launched a charge!
The battle broke out in an instant!
However, this was not a close contest.
This is a one-sided massacre!
Although the armed front had a large number of members, their formation was disorganized, with shouting and whistling coming one after another, like a group of undisciplined street thugs.
On the other hand, the members of the True Dragon Society used cadres as spearheads, working in groups of three or five, cooperating well and attacking efficiently.
They were like the sharpest blades, cutting into the fragile formation of the armed front in an instant!
Serizawa Tamao was the first to rush to the front, and he didn't even bother to use his fists.
He roared and actually pulled up a traffic sign on the side of the road that was as thick as two people could hug together!
The heavy metal sign, in his hand, turned into a huge battle axe full of primitive violent beauty!
He swung his arm and swept the huge signboard out with a strong wind that tore through the air!
"boom--!"
A loud bang!
The four or five armed front members standing in front of him didn't even have time to scream before they were swept away by this irresistible and terrifying force!
The sound of bones breaking can be heard clearly!
And Makise Takashi is even more sinister!
He held an iron rod removed from a scrapped motorcycle in each hand and rushed into the crowd like a madman!
His moves have no beauty at all, only pure lethality!
Every time the iron rod was swung, it was accompanied by the sound of bones breaking and shrill screams!
Tokaji Yuji is like a ghost wandering on the edge of the battlefield.
He shuttled through the chaotic crowd, appearing silently behind each enemy.
Then, with a clean and neat knife move, he chopped the opponent's neck with incredible precision.
Every time he makes a move, someone will fall silently.
The Ebizuka trio showed their wolf-like teamwork ability to the fullest!
They never lingered in battle, but just like three of the most cunning hounds, they wandered around the edge of the battlefield, dragging the lone and scattered members of the armed front into the shadows one by one, and then tearing them into pieces!
The members of the armed front completely collapsed!
Their weapons were easily blocked!
Their formation was broken up in an instant!
Their fighting spirit quickly collapsed in the face of the overwhelming and absolute strength gap of the True Dragon Society!
Some people began to flee in all directions, but all their retreat routes had already been tightly blocked by the peripheral members of the True Dragon Society!
…
In the center of the battlefield, only the Nine-Nerve One Saint and the last few of his close confidants who were still resisting were left.
They stood back to back, tightly protecting the Nine Powers and One Saint in the middle, like an isolated island in the raging waves, which could be completely swallowed up at any time.
Izaki Shun, Serizawa, Makise and others surrounded them.
But they did not rush to kill them. Instead, they disintegrated their last resistance step by step, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Serizawa Tamao punched the weapon in Jiuneng Yisheng's hand and sent it flying far away!
Makise Takashi followed closely behind and kicked him hard on the knee, making him kneel on one knee uncontrollably!
And Izaki Shun, like a condescending judge, just stood quietly by, watching all this indifferently with his cold eyes.
The Nine Powers and One Saint knew that the situation was hopeless.
He looked at the brothers lying in a pool of blood around him, and at the figures in front of him. For the first time, his eyes, which were originally full of viciousness, revealed deep fear and despair.
He wanted to beg for mercy.
However, just when he was about to speak!
A black shadow, moving extremely fast, shot out from the shadows behind without any warning, like a ghost!
That speed is extremely fast!
Even Izaki Shun only had time to reflect a cold light in his pupils!
Right after!
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Three extremely rapid and teeth-grinding metal collision sounds rang out almost simultaneously!
Izaki Shun, Serizawa, and Makise were all forced back several steps at the same time by an unimaginable force!
They looked at the deep scratches on the weapons in their hands that were visible to the bone, and a look of horror appeared on their faces!
The person who came was a young man with shoulder-length hair and eyes as sharp as an eagle.
In his hand, he held a short knife that flashed with a cold light, and his whole body exuded a cold murderous aura that was incompatible with the chaos around him!
"Long Xin! You're here!"
When Jiu Neng Yi Sheng saw the person coming, his face, which had looked as pale as death, instantly revealed the ecstasy of surviving a disaster!
He struggled and got up from the ground, his voice becoming a little hoarse due to excessive excitement!
Kunou Ryushin didn't look back at him.
He just stared at the True Dragon Society cadres in front of him with his cold, emotionless eyes.
Then, he spoke slowly.
The sound was hoarse, like two pieces of rusty metal rubbing against each other.
"Brother, I can't let you die here alone."
Night, 12:15.
Huyaliu Central Hospital.
Late at night, the entire building fell into deathly silence, with only the lights at the nurses' station at the end of the corridor still on.
The air was filled with the unique, cold and pungent smell of disinfectant.
A man, pushing a medical cart, appeared silently at the end of the corridor.
He was of medium build, wearing a black baseball cap on his head and a large medical mask on his face, which covered his entire face tightly.
His steps were steady, and the distance of each step seemed to have been precisely calculated. The cart that should have made a "gurgling" sound did not make the slightest sound in his hands.
Just then, a male doctor on duty, who was wearing a white coat and looked to be in his forties, walked out of a ward yawning and sleepily.
He saw the man coming towards him and frowned subconsciously.
"Who is it at this late hour?"
The doctor muttered something, feeling a little confused, as he had never seen this person before, and he had no idea where he was going, pushing a hospital cart.
He was about to ask.
The moment the two passed by each other!
The man wearing a mask moved!
He didn't make any sound!
An extremely precise hand knife, with a strong wind that tore through the air, silently chopped off the doctor's defenseless neck!
"Well..."
The doctor only felt a numbness in the back of his neck, and an irresistible pain instantly spread throughout his body!
His eyes went dark, and without even a groan, his body collapsed to the ground like a noodle with its bones removed.
The man had a blank expression on his face.
He simply calmly dragged the still twitching body into an empty storage room nearby, as if it were a dead dog.
The whole process didn't even take more than thirty seconds!
Change clothes, hide, and tidy up your appearance.
A set of movements, smooth and flowing, full of the coldness and efficiency of a professional killer!
After doing all this, he pushed the cart again and walked slowly towards the elevator at the end of the corridor like a most dedicated doctor.
…
On the seventh floor of the hospital, at the door of Kunou Hideomi's VIP ward.
Two plainclothes policemen were sitting on the bench at the door, yawning with an impatient look on their faces.
"Fuck, this is fucking bad luck." One of the younger policemen lowered his voice and complained angrily, "He's just staying in the hospital, and they still made us two watch over him all night. He really thinks he's the boss!"
The other, slightly older man, seemed much more experienced. He glanced at the tightly closed ward door and sneered:
"What do you know? This is called intensive care."
"I heard that this guy is the leader of the armed front, but he has a lot of criminal records. The higher-ups have been keeping an eye on him for a long time."
"And then he was connected to that bombing downtown."
"Now that he's in the hospital, it's a good opportunity. The higher-ups are worried that he'll run away or be silenced, so they asked us to keep an eye on him."
"Damn it, I'm not happy about it anyway. When he's released from the hospital, I'll be the first one to interrogate him!"
Just as the two of them were complaining to each other.
"bite--"
With a slight sound, the elevator door slowly opened.
The "doctor" in a white coat came out pushing a cart.
When the two policemen saw him, they stopped talking instantly and a look of vigilance appeared on their faces.
The younger one stepped forward, stopped him, and asked in a deep voice:
"What are you doing so late?"
The "doctor" slowly raised his head, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes hidden under the mask and the brim of his hat.
His voice was a little hoarse because he deliberately lowered it.
"Change the dressing."
The two policemen looked at each other. Although they were still a little skeptical, looking at each other's professional attire and the cart filled with various medicine bottles, they finally didn't say anything more.
After all, this is a hospital.
"Thank you for your hard work, doctor."
The older policeman nodded and opened the closed ward door for him.
…
The ward was in a mess.
Expensive imported fruits were thrown on the ground at random, and the air was filled with a pungent smell mixed with medicine and tobacco.
Kunou Hideomi was half lying on the hospital bed, with an IV in his arm and several bandages wrapped around his face, but his eyes, which always had a hint of viciousness, were now filled with impatience and violence.
Seeing the "doctor" come in, he didn't even raise his eyelids, but cursed viciously in an extremely impatient tone:
"Damn it, can't you let me sleep in the middle of the night?!"
"Hurry up! Get out of here as soon as you're done changing!"
The "doctor" ignored his shouting.
He just pushed the medical cart and walked slowly to the IV stand.
He first checked the flow rate of the infusion tube very professionally, then took out a brand new medicine bottle from the trolley, turned his back to Kunou Hideomi, and prepared to replace it.
The whole process was calm and efficient, without any unnecessary movements.
The moment he turned around, his right hand in latex glove took out a syringe that had been prepared long ago and was thinner than his little finger from the pocket of his white coat at an extremely concealed angle.
The needle silently pierced the rubber stopper of the new medicine bottle.
A tube of colorless and transparent liquid was silently injected into it and blended perfectly with the original medicine.
After doing all this, he slowly took out the old medicine bottle and replaced it with this bottle of "new medicine".
He skillfully adjusted the drip rate and watched the clear liquid flow drop by drop along the infusion tube slowly towards the man who was still urging him impatiently.
The "doctor" showed a cold smile hidden under the mask on his face.
He turned around and bowed politely to Kunou Hideomi, who was still cursing.
Then, he said meaningfully:
"Mr. Jiuneng, have a good rest."
"After tonight, you won't have any more worries."
After saying that, he did not stay and pushed the medical cart and walked out of the ward calmly.
Even when he passed by the two policemen at the door, he was extremely "friendly" and nodded politely to them.
Then, like an ordinary doctor, he disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"Fuck! Stop pretending to be so profound!"
Kunou Hideomi looked at the departing figure and spat in disdain.
He had no idea that the Grim Reaper's scythe was already quietly placed on his neck.
Now, there is only one thought in his mind -
revenge!
He wanted to let that little bastard named Long Qi Zhen know what it meant to live a life worse than death!
He even started to think about how to manipulate Ryuzaki Shin, the ignorant guy, step by step after he was discharged from the hospital.
Just when his heart was filled with resentment and excitement, and he had begun to imagine a bright future in which he would get his revenge.
He suddenly felt his heart suddenly twitch for no reason!
It was an extremely strange feeling.
It was as if a cold, invisible hand was tightly grasping his heart, and then suddenly tightening!
Severe pain, like an electric current, instantly spread throughout his limbs and bones!
"Well..."
Kunou Hideomi's body suddenly stiffened!
The pride and arrogance on his face froze in an instant, and were replaced by endless astonishment and disbelief.
What's going on?
He subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath, but was horrified to find that his chest seemed to be pressed down by a thousand-pound rock, and even the simplest breath became extremely difficult!
Immediately afterwards, more intense colic, like a tide, one wave after another, madly attacking his nerves!
His limbs began to twitch uncontrollably!
Everything in front of his eyes started to go dark!
His face, which was once quite handsome, was now completely covered in bruises!
"There's something wrong with the medicine…the medicine!"
This thought flashed through Kunou Hideomi's mind in an instant!
He looked at the IV tube on his arm that was still pumping out the deadly liquid, and deep fear appeared in his eyes that were originally full of violence!
He wanted to call for help and press the red call bell at the head of the bed!
However, his body seemed to have completely lost control and was completely out of control!
He could only watch helplessly at the red button so close to him, his hands, filled with the desire to survive, felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and he couldn't lift them at all!
No!
I can't just die like this!
I, Kuno Hideomi, am destined to become a man who is superior to others!
How can I...
How could I die in a place like this?!
In extreme fear and unwillingness, he used up the last bit of his strength, swung his arm violently, and swept the glass full of water on the bedside table to the ground!
"Bang!"
An extremely crisp explosion sounded particularly harsh in the silent corridor!
…
At the door of the ward.
The two policemen who were still yawning were startled by the sudden noise!
The younger one jumped up from his chair in an instant, his face full of vigilance!
"What's that sound?!"
The older one just curled his lips impatiently and picked his ears.
"What else could that sound be? That guy's gone crazy again. He really thinks he's the boss!"
"No! Senior! That sound is wrong!" The young policeman said solemnly, "I just thought... I heard the sound of something breaking! Let's go in and take a look! Don't let anything happen!"
Although the older policeman disagreed in his heart, he finally nodded after seeing his partner's serious expression.
The two looked at each other, without hesitation, and suddenly pushed open the half-closed ward door!
However, when they saw the scene inside, the expressions on their faces froze instantly!
The leader of the armed front, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, was now twitching and rolling violently on the hospital bed like a fish out of water!
His face was as purple as an eggplant; his eyes were wide open and bloodshot; white foam kept pouring out of his mouth!
That look was filled with the most primitive pain and despair, without any trace of the demeanor of a "dominant leader"!
"Shit! Something happened!"
The laziness and impatience on the older policeman's face disappeared without a trace in an instant!
He turned around suddenly and roared at his young partner who was also frightened with all his strength!
"What the hell are you still standing there for?! Go call a doctor!"
The young policeman woke up as if from a dream. He rolled and crawled and rushed towards the nurse station at the end of the corridor!
The older policeman rushed to the bedside. He looked at Kunou Hideomi who was still twitching violently, and at his eyes full of pleading and despair, and his heart softened for no reason.
He stretched out his hand, firmly held down Kunou Hideomi's struggling body, and soothed him:
"Hold on! Hold on, you f**king bastard!"
"The doctor's coming right up! You're going to be fine!"
"Take a deep breath, it's normal to feel dizzy!"
However, at this moment!
"Beep—beep—beep—"
On the ECG monitor at the bedside, the heartbeat line that was still fluctuating violently, representing life, suddenly became abnormally slow.
That sound, time and again, was like the death warrant, striking hard on everyone's heart!
Finally, amidst that piercing and desperate cry—
"Beep!"
The green line slowly stretched into a straight line without any fluctuations.
The overlord of the armed front, Kunou Hideomi.
Finally, he twitched twice, and those eyes, which were filled with resentment and resentment, completely lost all their luster.
There was no more movement...
Downstairs in the hospital, a black van without any license plate stopped silently in the shadow outside the emergency passage.
A moment later, a figure in a white coat walked out slowly from the revolving glass door.
He took off the large medical mask on his face and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road. Then, he took off the white coat that still smelled of disinfectant and threw it away as well.
After doing all this, he slowly raised his head. There was no expression on his face hidden under the shadow of his baseball cap.
It was the man who had just completed a perfect assassination in the ward - Jin Kirisawa.
He didn't even look back at the brightly lit building, but walked straight to the van and opened the back door.
"nailed it?"
In the driver's seat, a man with a sturdy build, muscular arms, and a look of power, didn't even turn his head. He just looked at him calmly through the rearview mirror with his eagle-like eyes.
It was the driver responsible for the pick-up - Goro Ishida.
Jin Kirisawa didn't say anything, just nodded calmly, and then he took out a bottle of iced soda from under the seat.
With a "click", he opened it skillfully, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
He looked as if he had not just poisoned someone under police supervision, but had simply gone to the convenience store downstairs and bought a bottle of drink.
Goro Ishida looked at his calm demeanor and smiled approvingly.
"As expected of you, Jin."
"I haven't seen you for so many years. I don't think you've lost any of your skills. You're getting better and better."
Kirisawa Jin threw the empty bottle of soda away, then lazily leaned back in his chair and said in an extremely calm tone:
"You're just a piece of trash, and you think you're worthy enough for me to use my real skills?"
"I'm just in a hurry. Otherwise, I have a hundred ways to make his death... more interesting."
Ishida Goro laughed and didn't continue the topic.
He started the engine, and the black van quietly merged into the traffic flow of Toyaru City, which was dyed bizarrely by neon lights.
"What's next?" Ishida Goro asked, deftly steering the wheel. "Straight to Jinyi Ichibangai to meet the guy our Nakamura guys are so impressed with?"
Jin Kirisawa nodded, and his gaze turned to the rapidly receding street scene outside the window, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
"You and I both know that Nakamura is a very cautious and steady person. For him to even say the words 'unlimited potential', this kid named Ryuzaki Makoto must be no ordinary character."
"But..." Ishida Goro changed the subject, his tone tinged with anticipation, "A small, newly emerged organization is asking us, guys who are considered aces abroad, to join them. Isn't that... a bit too much of a compliment?"
"You're wrong to think so."
Kirisawa Jin shook his head.
"Woro, have you forgotten why we chose to leave that place in the first place?"
Ishida Goro was silent.
Kirisawa Jin obviously didn't want to talk about the past, so he continued with what he had just said:
"We could definitely add some established organizations to the mix and tap into the excitement of us old guys."
"But have you ever thought about it?"
"Whether it's the Yamaguchi-gumi or the Inagawa-kai, those so-called top-tier underworld organizations have long been established. The profit chains within them are intricate and complex. If we go in now, no matter how good we are at fighting, we will only be a high-level thug at best. We will never be able to climb up the ladder again in our lifetime!"
"But this kid called Ryuzaki Shin is different."
"I investigated him."
"He's ambitious, courageous, and smart. Most importantly... he's completely broke right now. Apart from the few students around him who are still playing house at school, he has nothing else."
"This is our best chance!"
"Just think about it. With our means and experience, we can help him build an underground empire from scratch that can rival those behemoths!"
"By then, we will be the elders of this empire! The true founding heroes!"
"That feeling…"
There is a flame called "ambition" flickering in Jin Kirisawa's eyes!
"Isn't it much more enjoyable than being a dog for those old guys?!"
After hearing this, Ishida Goro also laughed.
He punched the steering wheel hard, making a dull thud!
"Damn it! You're still the same as before, always making empty promises!"
"Alright! I'll fucking accompany you and gamble again!"
He paused, and then seemed to remember something, and said with a smile:
"By the way, that kid Xun should have already arrived at Jinyi Ichibangai, right? I wonder if he's found that Ryuzaki Shin."
…
Meanwhile, in the hospital, on the seventh floor.
Shortly after the two left, sirens sounded loudly!
Several police cars came roaring in and surrounded the entire hospital!
Two police officers were the first to rush into the VIP ward filled with the smell of death.
When they saw Kunou Hideomi, who had completely lost his life on the hospital bed, their faces instantly became extremely solemn!
"Seal off the scene immediately!"
An older policeman gave orders in a deep voice to his subordinates behind him who also had shocked expressions on their faces.
Then, he slowly walked to the bedside, looked at Kunou Hideomi's face which was distorted by extreme pain, and looked at his eyes which were full of unwillingness and resentment.
His brows were instantly twisted into a knot.
At this moment, a doctor on duty in a white coat and two nurses also rushed over after hearing the news.
He looked at Kunou Hideomi who was completely motionless on the hospital bed.
He looked at the ECG monitor next to him that had been stretched into a straight line, and a look of regret appeared on his face.
He shook his head at the older policeman and said slowly:
"Officer, the patient has...no vital signs."
"The preliminary judgment is that the cause of death is acute heart failure. The specific cause requires further autopsy to determine."
The older policeman nodded and said nothing more.
His eyes scanned every corner of the ward carefully.
Finally, his gaze fixed on the empty infusion bottle that had been replaced.
He already had his own judgment in his mind.
This is not an accident.
This is...
murder!
The young policeman seemed much more impulsive. He looked at the cold corpse, then at the ECG monitor next to it that was still emitting a long and shrill sound. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart!
He punched the wall next to him hard, making a dull thud!
"Hold!!"
"These damn criminals! They are totally lawless!"
The older policeman ignored his complaints. He just squatted down slowly and looked at the few inconspicuous drops of dried blood under the bed. An extremely sharp gleam flashed in his cloudy eyes.
The explosion in the city center...
The gunman who escaped from the encirclement of the Flying Tigers...
And then there's Kunou Hideomi's sudden and extremely strange death...
Behind all this, there seems to be an invisible big hand controlling everything.
And who is the owner of this hand...
He slowly stood up and looked out the window at the city that was completely shrouded in darkness. A solemn expression appeared on his weather-beaten face.
"The sky in Toaru City is about to change..."
