Chapter 54 Lawson Charles

"Do you know what the protagonist's law is?"

“Life is impossible to be peaceful. Those who have a special role in the future can appear at the right time and stir up waves even if they haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

Tsushima Shuji shook his head; "That's exactly the current situation."

Akai Shuichi raised his eyebrows: "So, I am the protagonist?"

"How is that possible? We are the protagonists."

"Okay, protagonists, what kind of waves do you think my appearance now can stir up?"

When Shuichi Akai infiltrated the Black Claw Bodyguard Company and his resume was sent to Eclipse's assistant for review, he was prepared to be asked questions.

To be honest, they haven't seen each other for so many years, and the time they have spent together is short. Children have shallow memories, so he is not sure whether these children still remember him.

He was a little surprised when he was called.

These five kids actually still remembered him, and even remembered his casual words that he was going to the FBI.

Therefore, the focus of the questioning fell on what kind of mission he came here with today.

Kuroro: "This is a question you should answer. If you can't answer it, we will fire you."

"That's a really powerful threat." Akai Shuichi didn't intend to tell the whole story, he just picked and chose.

"There is a very important person among your fans today. His latest research has been noticed by an illegal organization. I need to take him away and protect him."

Tsushima Shuji said bluntly: "He doesn't think highly of you?"

Otherwise, why would they have to contact people through them? Why not just go to their homes and take them away? Isn't this the FBI's style?

Akai Shuichi choked up, and after understanding what he said, he could only say, "He is quite wary."

Everyone understood: "Oh——"

Shuichi Akai: "He didn't trust the authorities because of some experiences when he was young, so he went into hiding after being targeted. It took us a long time to find him." In fact, it was the Black Organization that found him first.

Kuroko Tetsuya wondered, "Why did you come to the handshake meeting if you are so cautious?"

"That's what I'm wondering too." The information Shuichi Akai found didn't say that the target of the mission liked to chase stars, but he just happened to buy tickets for the handshake event. Shuichi Akai originally thought that this was a sleight of hand and the target of the mission would most likely not come, but his FBI colleagues were always keeping an eye on the target's movements, and there were one or two traces that hadn't been erased in time, indicating that the man was indeed moving towards this side.

The security at the eclipse event venue was tight, and it took a lot of effort for Shuichi Akai to get in, and it was even more difficult to find someone among a crowd of people. A colleague suggested arresting someone at the door, but the target of the mission would definitely run away immediately if he found something wrong, and would not give them a chance to arrest him.

At the beginning, Shuichi Akai had no intention of looking for Tsunayoshi Sawada and his group. After all, this kind of thing was still very dangerous. If any news was leaked in the middle, all the previous efforts would be wasted.

What he didn't expect was that the Black Claw Bodyguard Company would also show the resume to Eclipse's assistant. Coincidentally, this resume was also seen by Yuji Itadori and others.

It is hard to say whether he had some unspeakable thoughts before, but now that help has come to him, there is no need for him to refuse.

He didn't want to get close to innocent people, but that person was too important and his death would be a loss to the country.

Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Okay, we agreed to help. What are the characteristics of that person?"

"Lawson Charles, a man with black hair and brown eyes, with a black mole on the left side of his forehead, forty-three years old, and 1.79 meters tall."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: "You'd better be prepared that he won't come."

Akai Shuichi: "I know."

After a discussion, Sawada Tsunayoshi said: "Let's hold a small event and put a lottery box next to the table. People who draw a certain lottery can go backstage to receive a small gift. If Lawson Charles really comes, we can do something behind the scenes and trick him into going backstage."

Several people: "Agree."

Just leave this matter to Assistant Takida.

Shuichi Akai followed Assistant Takida out, and he still had to stand in a fixed position.

Kuroko Tetsuya: "Then Akai-kun is useless, right?"

They arranged things themselves.

Yuji Itadori: "Yeah, he's doing it for free."

"Hmm." Sawada Tsunayoshi thought, "Akai-san should be in charge of security issues."

Tsushima Shuji urged: "Don't pay him a salary. Now the boss is working for him. He can count it as profit if it is offset against his salary."

Regarding this kind of immoral thing, Sawada Tsunayoshi touched his chin with his hand, as if he was thinking about something important. He said: "Ah, the handshake meeting is about to start, let's go sit outside."

Tsushima Shuji chuckled.

When the time came, the fans lined up in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff. The five people chatted with the fans for almost two hours in total, but the person that Shuichi Akai mentioned still did not show up.

Standing on the second floor with a wide view, Shuichi Akai's eyes shuttled among the fans, searching for his mission target.

Shuichi Akai was supposed to be in Japan, so there was no need for him to do this kind of mission in the United States. The American branch was not without people, and transferring people from Japan would be a waste of manpower and time. He was puzzled at first and even wondered if he had been exposed.

But the organization has not made any move. Akai Shuichi spent a lot of time searching for information and found out that his business trip this time was related to Vermouth. It seemed that the other party said that he had been in the American *** before and now came to Japan. He is proficient in English and Japanese and understands the local situation. This mission might be very suitable.

Then he was sent out on a long mission.

"Hello."

A dull male voice sounded above my head.

Kuroko Tetsuya looked at the tall middle-aged man and could feel a gaze on him. Blonde hair and brown eyes, slightly different from the description, probably disguised, but the disguise was not very careful, and the black mole on the left side of his forehead was not covered up.

The middle-aged man sat down and, without any intention of shaking hands, took out a photo from the lining pocket of his shirt. It was not a photo of anyone in the team, but a photo of a girl swinging on a swing.

The man did his homework and handed two autograph tickets to the staff.

Two autograph tickets for one to autograph.

Kuroko Tetsuya smiled and said, "Where should I sign the autograph, on the back or the front?"

The man hesitated for a moment. "Sign it on the back and say it's for Jia Lisi. Happy birthday to her."

"Okay." Heizi Zhe also wrote something on the back of the photo.

After Kuroko Tetsuya finished signing, he handed the photo back, and watched the man put it away with care, before saying, "Sir, you can draw a prize, and those who draw the heart can go backstage to receive the prize."

The man did not refuse. He took out a rolled-up piece of paper from the box and opened it to reveal a pink heart.

"I'm so lucky." Kuroko Zheya waved to a staff member and asked the staff member to take him backstage to receive the award.

Kuroko Tetsuya glanced at the timer. There were more than four minutes left and the handshake meeting in the first half would be over.

Shuichi Akai upstairs held his breath, he wanted to leave, but his colleagues from the bodyguard company were staring at him on both sides.

His eyelids twitched and he had a bad feeling.

Before the handshake meeting began, Kuroro whispered to his friends, "What kind of research could cause two forces to fight over one person?"

Tsushima Shuji snorted: "Anyway, Akai won't tell you."

"Is Kuroro curious?" Sawada Tsunayoshi suggested: "Then we can keep him here first and ask you when the time comes."

"Is it okay?" Kuroro asked embarrassedly.

"sure."

As soon as the handshake meeting ended in the first half, Assistant Takita came to find Shuichi Akai. Shuichi Akai followed Assistant Takita to the locker room and saw Lawson Charles with red and tearful eyes, saying something to Tsunayoshi Sawada with a sad face.

Akai Shuichi:......

Wait, after the handshake meeting, the time it took Takida's assistant to come up to him plus the time it took him to get to the lounge was only about five minutes, what happened in between?!

Sawada Tsunayoshi was the main attacker, and the other four people were assisting on the side. They listened patiently and spoke softly. The four people beside him seized the opportunity and attacked the psychological defense line one after another.

If you switch to the game, you can probably see the numbers floating above Lawson Charles' head every second.

[Favorability +1]

[Favorability +15]

[Favorability +10]

Lawson Charles never thought that there were five people in the world who understood him so well.

"You are all good kids." Lawson Charles sniffed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Don't get involved. It's very dangerous."

"But you don't have to sacrifice your life because of the threats from bad guys and let all your previous efforts go to waste. Your achievements should have been seen by more people."

Sawada Tsunayoshi was very sincere, and in the short conversation, he had a basic understanding of Lawson Charles's talent. There was no doubt that he was a genius, and it was no wonder that so many people wanted to catch him.

"You are still too young to understand some cruel things. Those people are all profit-seeking guys, without warmth. When they see valuable things, they shamelessly want to snatch them back like beggars in their eighth life." Lawson Charles began to mock as he spoke, "It's normal for them to bite you, kick you, or stab you in order to get things."

"They are ruthless even to people from their own country, let alone you who are not from this country. Maybe those tax thieves will frame you and torture you in jail, or just shoot you to death without any evidence." The more Lawson Charles spoke, the more resentful his voice became.

Perhaps realizing that the topic had gone off track, he added, "Of course, those criminals are even more terrifying. They never lack the means to torture you, making you unable to live or die, and in the end you can only be forced to hand over your things and work for them. My God, such disgusting and cruel guys can still operate in the United States with impunity. This country is doomed!"

Lawson Charles coughed twice. "Anyway, I can't let myself implicate you. Don't think that death is far away from us. For them, it's just a matter of moving their fingers."

Well, it seems that the focus of the conversation needs to be shifted. If I want people to feel at ease and stay, I have to show my strength.

"You don't need to worry about our safety." Tsunayoshi Sawada gave Yuji Itadori an encouraging look.

Yuji Itadori understood and nodded to show that he received the hint.

"Mr. Lawson, our fighting strength is roughly at this level." Yuji Itadori smiled at Lawson Charles.

With a click, Yuji Itadori broke off the three-centimeter-thick corner of the stone table with his bare hands.

Lawson Charles shuddered and burped.

Perhaps sensing the horrifying gaze from the other side, Yuji Itadori looked back.

Akai Shuichi, standing at the door and looking at Yuji Itadori: …
