The leader of the Italian underworld, the mafia godfather crowned with blood and violence, orchestrated his own death to save the world, creating a miracle in eight trillion worlds.
In order ...
Although he was ready to make a move, Tsunayoshi Sawada was stopped by Lei who was quick to sense that something was wrong.
Fang Yanzhijiujiu told the Miyano sisters that they couldn't leave here, and that the Boss couldn't continue to have contact with Martinez who had already betrayed the organization, and he seemed to be saying it with all his heart.
If Tsunayoshi Sawada didn't know that this guy was an undercover agent who graduated from the FBI training class, he might really believe that he was only thinking about himself... If that's the case, then the acting skills of these guys who graduated from the FBI are too good, right? Did they take acting classes?
Tsunayoshi Sawada had been on this show himself, so after watching Lai's flawless performance, he felt that his guess was not impossible.
But Andrea probably doesn't want to see him now.
If that weren't the case, the child wouldn't be hiding all the time.
The Godfather, who knew Andrea's character well, hesitated for a moment, and just then the two sisters from the Miyano family came out of the dressing room, so he agreed with Lei's opinion.
"In that case, please go there," he said, "Um... bring something with you when you go."
Although Akai Shuichi was confused about what he needed to bring, he nodded.
"yes."
So he drove all the way to the place James gave him.
The good thing is that just as he expected, the relationship between Johnny Winger and Andrea was not as tense as he had imagined, or it could even be described as harmonious.
This is truly a wonderful thing.
After all, Andrea "betrayed" Johnny Winger, who had personally pulled him out of the slums. Even though the relationship between the two became very close later, and they could even compete with Nowan, it was based on deception from the beginning.
Johnny Winga, a member of the organization, and Andrea, an FBI agent, will face off against each other again if nothing unexpected happens.
——If it was a normal situation, it would naturally be what he thought.
But the strange thing is that Shuichi Akai has a strange feeling about Johnny Lee. He has had this feeling since he was caught by Johnny Lee when he was involved in a fraud, and now he has finally confirmed it.
Johnny might be an unexpected nice guy.
The black-haired young man who was driving to pick up his senior with a frown on his face always felt awkward when he put this word together with the members of the organization. But if it was Johnny who added it, he would suddenly feel that it was not unacceptable.
Occasionally, Shuichi Akai would still wonder if he had fallen into some scheme set up by Johnny. Otherwise, why would he feel at certain moments that this mafia boss, who was supposedly full of evil, was a good guy?
But if you think about it carefully, there is no contradiction between his kindness to others and his being a code name member of the organization. Who stipulated that all members of the organization should have a gin face?
You can't assume that a lion is a rabbit just because it often lies down docilely. Maybe it's just too lazy to move?
What's more, Johnny's character does not hinder him from carrying out his mission. Rather, his boss is kind and tolerant, which is more conducive to his undercover work. For example, this time, in the end it seems that it has nothing to do with him. He is just a little follower who helps Johnny run errands.
As for why he was chosen? Who knows why Johnny Winger would look for a subordinate with the same color scheme after Martinez defected.
What is this called? Meal replacement?
Akai Shuichi was thinking aimlessly when he finally reached his destination.
After he explained his purpose, the police officer at the registration desk had a strange look on his face, looked him up and down, and then confirmed it again.
"Let me confirm again, are you Andrea's guardian?"
This was considered an inquiry within the scope of the question, so Shuichi Akai stretched out his voice and hummed, giving himself some time to think.
It wasn't his illusion, the other person's expression became a little strange again.
"I see," the policeman stood up and led him inside. "A guy just came in and said he was the kid's companion. We immediately thought he might not be a good person, so we let him go back and have been waiting for you to come."
"But as soon as you came, we knew that you and Andrea must be related. Haha, you two brothers look quite similar."
Akai Shuichi, who actually didn't look like him, slowly forced out a smile.
Maybe in the eyes of Japanese people, people of English and Japanese descent are foreigners, people of Italian descent are also foreigners, and all foreigners look similar.
As the talkative policeman walked into the lounge inside, Shuichi Akai saw Andrea from a distance through the transparent glass. She didn't look too sad.
The young man with black curly hair was sitting on the sofa in the lounge, holding a cup of hot cocoa in his hand. There were a few round marshmallows floating on the top, which looked very cute.
Probably because there was no one else here, he had taken off his hood and had some bandages wrapped around his wrists in a mess, which was probably the source of the policeman's subtle reminder to him to pay attention to his "brother's" physical and mental health.
Shuichi Akai wasn't actually sure whether the other party recognized him, but after thinking about it, he probably only asked the FBI for help, so he knocked on the window with a righteous attitude.
Although he looks relaxed, if he could be a cat, Andrea would have his fur standing on end and even his tail standing upright.
It's so disgusting, so disgusting, so disgusting, this place smells like cops... Even some of the good people who would give him food are cops, which makes the alarms in his brain go off like crazy, and he's about to explode on the spot.
He had been waiting patiently for a while. He didn't know how inefficient the FBI was that they still hadn't gotten him out yet.
When he was in Italy, he would occasionally accidentally find himself in trouble. Usually, it was Novan who would bail him out. That guy had a very bad temper and was jealous of his relationship with the Boss, so he would deliberately drag out the time and delay the rape beyond his tolerance limit. He would also specially commemorate... Is Mad a little devil?
Andrea's temper worsened when he thought of a guy who always competed with him for the Boss's attention.
It was at this moment that Shuichi Akai came upon us.
The young man with black hair and green eyes knocked gently on the transparent glass. He saw the senior who was squatting inside raised his head and looked at him, then raised the corner of his lips and revealed a kind smile.
You have to know that when Bourbon and Scotland were combined, they didn't even get a friendly smile from him when they first met.
——Of course, Akai Shuichi refused to admit that this was the decision he made after hearing the two people guess that he was Johnny's kept gigolo.
But this rare kindness did not receive the same response.
The boy with short black hair looked up from his cup of hot cocoa, and when he recognized that this guy was the gigolo who was following the boss (Akai Shuichi:??), he stood up and started to walk around the room like a headless ant. Finally, before Akai Shuichi entered the room, he locked himself in the single bathroom in a panic, squatted on it and thought nervously.
Help, help! I've been discovered by the Boss... Isn't there a time-traveling toilet here... Let me hide here quq!
…
…
Tsunayoshi Sawada was somewhat worried.
Although it was hidden well, it was still discovered by the careful Miyano sisters.
The two girls looked at each other, found a cute teddy bear-themed store, and pushed the nonchalant Godfather into it.
After waiting for a while, the Godfather still hadn't come to his senses. The two looked at each other and smiled, and decided that today's meeting would end here.
"After all, your expression looks like the sky is about to collapse." Miyano Shiho said slowly, waved at her sister in the distance, turned her head and looked again at Sawada Tsuneyoshi who was sitting in the driver's seat.
"So? What happened? You've been distracted ever since Lei left."
Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed and reached out to rub Miyano Shiho's little head.
"What a smart kid." He muttered. He always felt that Shirley was much smarter than him... Was it an illusion?
No, no, at least when he was Shirley's age, he was still a loser, far from even passing. How could he compare to Miyano Shiho who graduated at a young age.
Thinking of this, the Godfather, who felt that he was not very smart, couldn't help but shed tears in his heart.
"I'm just a little worried about the kid." He hesitated and said, "Martinez, you know that, right?"
As he said this, he took a quick look at Miyano Shiho's expression, but didn't see any surprise on her face.
He was silent.
"I don't think you're surprised by this, Shiho-chan."
Miyano Shiho snorted.
"After all, there's a big fool sitting next to me." She yawned loudly, skipping the question of why the traitor who was rumored to be dead was still alive and kicking, and asked, "Then are you going to see him? No, since you let Lei go, it means you have no intention of meeting him in person."
The girl hesitated for a moment, tilted her head to look at Sawada Tsunayoshi, and made a serious sound of doubt.
"In that case, why are you so restless? Are you worried about Lei?" She was referring to the fact that Lei, as a subordinate in the organization, might leak this matter. She even thought about it and said hesitantly, "I also have a kind of hallucinogenic toxin extracted from mushrooms... Do you need it?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was originally a little worried, but when he heard the little girl's words, he immediately burst out laughing.
"It's not that bad." He reached out and rubbed the girl who was sitting obediently in the passenger seat. Hearing the other girl's subtle and somewhat deflated "oh", he vaguely recalled the time when he picked up Andrea in the slums.
Before this, he actually had no impression of slums. If he had any, it would have been the slums of his original world.
Reborn once threw him into the slums to make him struggle for two months. He was cheated as soon as he entered the slums and cried under the quilt more times than in the first half of his life combined. But when he came out, he had become much tougher.
The slums are a good place to train a man, his tutor said.
But if it was the slums of this world, Reborn probably wouldn't have thrown him in.
If the slums in the original world were quagmires from which it was difficult to escape once entered, the slums in this world are black holes that eat people without leaving any bones.
Tsunayoshi Sawada found Andrea there.
The child was abandoned and looked very thin. Andrea was there when he pretended to be lured into the warehouse by people who were either doing organ or human trafficking.
He looks small, but he's a normal size for this warehouse.
But perhaps because of his color matching, Sawada Tsunayoshi always inevitably thought of his younger brother who was far away in another world, so he became soft-hearted, and when he left, he took the child with him.
Although the child always reminds him of Rambo, no one knows better than Tsunayoshi Sawada that they are two different people.
Compared to Rambo, who was brought up in a pampered environment, Andrea is more reserved.
What's the word? Social phobia. Yes, the kid was a social phobic guy.
The most serious time was when he just brought Andrea back to his residence. At that time, he was also in a critical period of expansion and had little spare time to play with the children at home.
Andrea stayed in his room obediently and played by himself. This situation did not get better until Novan met him after returning from a business trip. Sometimes when both guys were at home, he would always hear the sounds of them arguing or fighting when he got home.
Andrea is not good at talking. Although Novan had experienced a period of autism, he has changed and is very skilled in saying some words that he learned from somewhere, which makes the little curly black-haired boy almost cry.
Later, Andrea became more familiar with them and was no longer socially anxious. Although he still quarreled with Novan every day, when he heard the sound of Novan coming home, he would rush to his side like a little puppy, give him a soft hug, and rub against him affectionately.
"Boss, kiss."
That's why Tsunayoshi Sawada is worried.
Even though Andrea was attacked because he was about to be exposed, after all, he was the child he watched grow up (?), so he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
"Foolish move."
After listening to his explanation, Miyano Shiho coldly put her hands on her chest and gave her conclusion.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was not annoyed by being told this by a girl who was much younger than him. Instead, he rubbed his cheeks shyly.
"Indeed." He said, "If Reborn were here, he would probably say the same thing."
Miyano Shiho raised her eyebrows and repeated the unfamiliar name in the sentence.
"Reborn?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was silent for a moment.
Perhaps his mind was a little confused, he didn't expect that he would actually say this name.
It's actually quite funny. When I complain in my heart, I can call him Reborn whatever I want, but it seems to be the first time I actually say this name out loud since then.
Tsunayoshi Sawada felt a little dizzy, but he felt that he was fine. It was probably a physiological reaction caused by psychological factors.
He pressed his temples, trying to get away with it.
This little attempt was discovered by Shirley.
"What? If they could even let me know about Martinez, what kind of shady thing could that guy be?"
The girl, who had not yet mastered the excellent skill of reading people's expressions like she would later, put her hands on her chest.
Sawada Tsunayoshi responded and couldn't help but take out a pack of cigarettes from the car.
This is what Lei left behind, a red Marlboro, which he had encouraged him to smoke last time.
Sawada Tsunayoshi lit the cigarette for himself, held it in his left hand, took a puff and looked out of the window. His expression became a little blurred in the smoke.
"It's not something to be ashamed of." He found it difficult to identify his own emotions and could only exile himself briefly, remaining silent for a long time.
Even Shirley noticed that something was wrong with him. She frowned and reached out her hand to touch Johnny, who was in a bad state, but was interrupted by the other party's words.
“He is my teacher.”
This is the answer to Shirley's question.
Shirley paused, then retracted her movement after sensing the other party's rejection.
"Your teacher?" she asked casually. "He must be from a very strict family to have raised someone like you."
Sawada Tsunayoshi burst out laughing.
"What do you mean by someone like me?" He shook off the dust and complained, "But he is indeed very strict... well, a Spartan-type teacher."
"It sounds like you have a very vivid memory." Shirley observed him and said calmly.
Sawada Tsunayoshi thought about it and nodded.
He turned his head and saw the cigarette that was one-third burned, and casually complained: "Well, that's it. If he were here, I would not be allowed to smoke under normal circumstances."
Clearly, Colanillo said that he used to smoke.
But now... maybe smoking is not good for the growth of babies, just like the "babies should not inhale second-hand smoke" that he used to prohibit himself from smoking.
Shirley raised an eyebrow.
"But what's the point?" As if he knew what she was going to say, Sawada Tsunayoshi muttered vaguely, "He can't control me anyway."
He turned his head to look out the window, the ignited sparks flickered slightly, and the brown-haired young man's face was slightly cold and bored, thinking expressionlessly.
The man is already dead, and no matter how Spartan we are, we can't control him.
What's the meaning?
