Chapter 130 Fight and rob!
Under Ace's protection, Izumi Kyoka did not encounter any dangerous missions early on, but instead became friends with Yumeno Hisasaku to play games together.
Even though Yumeno Hisaku often complained that she was not very good at playing, she was the only one besides Ace who could play with him, so Yumeno Hisaku could only bear with it and guide her.
Ozaki Kouyo's teachings did not stop, and she even found a mission to execute a traitor for Izumi Kyouka. Izumi Kyouka didn't want to kill anyone, that was fine, but according to Ozaki Kouyo, she could not want to kill, but she couldn't be afraid to kill.
The Mafia is such a place. If you don't dare to kill, the moment you hesitate, the enemy who is already in a desperate situation may seize the opportunity to kill you. Ozaki Kouyo herself has experienced it firsthand, and of course she doesn't want this to happen to the younger generation.
Therefore, even if it was only once, she must help Izumi Kyoka overcome this psychological barrier.
Ace agreed with this point. Moreover, betrayers were already very annoying to him, and he would be merciless to those who knowingly hurt their companions.
Although it would be cruel to Izumi Kyouka's heart, it is a kind of protection for her. With such a killing ability, she cannot completely escape the conflicts in the inner world.
Although Mori Ougai was not very satisfied with the current situation, he could do nothing about it for the time being.
With Ace helping him, it was not easy for him to bypass Ace and assign some excessive tasks to Izumi Jinghua. Although he could arrange it when Ace was away, it would be a bit troublesome if Ace found out afterwards and gave him some trouble.
The last time the wanted warrant was revoked, he had to clean up the mess.
Dazai and Chuuya were not very old when they went on the mission, so why can't Izumi Kyoka do the same?
"How can they be the same? When Zhihe and Zhongye joined the Port Mafia, they were already very adapted to this environment. They were able to deal with anything they wanted to do, and even if we asked them to be more conservative, they wouldn't accept it, right? But Jinghua is different. She hasn't adapted to this environment at all. Missions and such can be done slowly!"
Ace is a very open-minded parent. He lets his children do whatever they want. Dazai and Chuuya are not opposed to going on missions, so he doesn't need to intervene. But Izumi Kyoka is obviously resistant to the darker missions of the Port Mafia. Mori Ogai assigning her a mission is like forcing her to do something she doesn't want to do. Of course, Ace will protect her as much as he can.
Mori Ogai also knew that Ace's answer was similar to this, so he sighed and asked Ace to show him the relatively important new information presented today.
Then he was attracted by a number.
That was a bounty—7 billion U.S. dollars—for a man-eating tiger that roamed around Yokohama.
Mori Ogai calculated that the 500 billion yen in heritage that was the source of the fierce battle that threw Yokohama into chaos was only worth 3.2 billion US dollars, and the actual heritage was even less than this amount!
Of course, the total amount of profit gained by the Port Mafia that year was far more than this number, but that was calculated after they obtained the inheritance and swallowed up a lot of organizational property. After deducting the various expenses and losses of the Port Mafia in that war, the actual net profit was far less than this number.
7 billion US dollars! This number makes Sen Ou's eyes turn green.
Although the Port Mafia is not so short of money now, if they want to develop, the more money the better! Besides, who in the world would complain about having too much money?
But there is always someone in this office whose brain circuits are different——
"A man-eating tiger? Come to think of it, I haven't eaten tiger meat in a long time. Let's catch it and cook it in a pot!"
Japan is already short of resources, and Yokohama is even worse in this rural area. Let alone tigers, there are no wild animals that are slightly ferocious... That's not the right way to say it. It should be said that the slightly ferocious animals are all in zoos.
When he first came to this world, he also wanted to go to the nearby mountains to hunt for some game, but not only did he fail to hunt any large game, he was even reported for poaching! He almost got Mori Ougai arrested for this reason!
At that time, he was shocked and asked Mori Ogai: "Is it illegal for you to even eat wild game?!"
What could Mori Ogai say? The world was changing, so he could only smile.
If it were any other time, if Ace wanted to catch a tiger and eat the gull, he would be fine. After all, protecting animals was not his business as a mafia leader. He would have loved to have used it to kill time, but this time it wouldn't work.
This tiger is worth 7 billion US dollars! How many tigers can you buy with that on the black market! ? It would be a waste to just eat you! This is not eating a tiger, this is eating money! !
Mori Ougai immediately stopped him: [You can catch this tiger, but you can't eat it! ]
…
The Asuka Pirates temporarily settled in Yokohama.
The old members went home to relax, and among the new members, Vertibird temporarily had an environment for long-term treatment of amnesia, while Lovecraft was a habitual homebody and thought it was nice to stay at home and watch dramas without having to run around.
He actually doesn't like boating very much. He doesn't like to move when he's on a boat. Sometimes he stays in the room watching a play. When he wants to go into the water, he ties a rope around his waist and dives. Now that he's off the boat, he can live off the money he's accumulated from sailing for the past two years, and he doesn't have to go out to work to earn money. He actually likes this kind of life.
Yokohama is now much more stable than in the past few years. The Asuka Pirates have more money on hand. Except for a few crew members on the ship who need to constantly absorb new knowledge and are still studying and entertaining themselves at the same time, the main activity of the others is to play around. Occasionally, when they feel itchy and empty, they go to the Port Mafia or the Kuroda Group to see if there is any work to do. They can have fun and make money at the same time, and their life is quite fulfilling.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Akutagawa Ginso walked along the bank of the Tsurumi River. Neither of them was a talkative person, but since no one was talking, the atmosphere was not awkward.
Akutagawa Gin thinks that her brother is very good now. Not only has his personality become much calmer than before, but he can also do what he likes according to his heart.
She couldn't help but think of the time four years ago when they were still in La Bo Street. At that time, all they thought about every day was how to survive and how to avoid possible dangers. Every day they were worried about how they would get through the next day. Fear and anxiety shrouded them every day.
But now they can stroll along the riverside happily and relaxedly like ordinary people, without having to worry about survival. This was simply unimaginable in the past.
"…Flying Bird, what did the doctor say?"
"It's still the same as before. She needs to take medication and slowly wait for the blood clot in her head to heal. In fact, it would be best if she could return to a place she is familiar with to stimulate her memory, and maybe she can recover faster." Akutagawa Gin said with some regret, "But America is not a place we are familiar with after all. If she is treated there, we probably won't be able to accompany her."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded slightly. "It's okay. I've already asked Mr. Ace to send Asuka's photo to Mr. Colonel who is still in the United States. Once Mr. Colonel finds Asuka's family information, Asuka can be allowed to contact her family first."
When Fei Niao was captured by them, all the things on his body that could prove his identity were lost in the sea. They were busy leaving American waters at the time, and had not established a trustworthy relationship with local organizations. The only relationship they had was with the Port Mafia branch developing in the United States, which they had no direct contact with at the time. It was impossible for them to return home, and there was no way to send Fei Niao back to the United States for someone to take over.
As for issuing a notice directly to find her relatives, Fei Niao had already become one of them when everyone wanted to help her recover her memory. Wouldn't it be directly sending danger to her relatives if they openly looked for her relatives at this time?
Akutagawa Gin chuckled.
Her brother is really different now. If it were her previous brother, he would definitely not be able to think of such a roundabout solution.
Just as the brother and sister were quietly enjoying this warm brother-sister time, a ragged white-haired boy suddenly stopped them and shouted at them fiercely: "Robbery!"
Ryunosuke Akutagawa: "..."
Akutagawa Gin: “…”
To be honest, even though they had received fewer orders in the past six months and had not been in Yokohama for the past two years, the brother and sister never thought that someone would dare to rob Akutagawa Ryunosuke.
This young man probably doesn't know Yokohama well enough.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke couldn't help but look the other person up and down critically, and said calmly: "Get out of the way."
This guy is a coward. Even though he said he was going to rob them, his legs were actually shaking. He looked shabby and had been wandering for a while. He looked very weak. Let alone robbing, Akutagawa Ryunosuke could beat a hundred of them.
Even Akutagawa Gin could easily see how frustrated he was.
The ragged robber was frightened by Akutagawa Ryunosuke's cold look, and a struggling expression appeared on his face, but he quickly calmed down and continued, "Hand over your money!"
Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked at him speechlessly, which was rare for him, and repeated in a calm tone: "Get out of the way."
Gin Akutagawa saw that if the other party said one more word about his brother, he would probably just throw him away, so he kindly tried to give him a few hints to persuade him to leave. The other party looked miserable and didn't seem to be doing this on purpose, but more like he was desperate and did this, so they didn't need to take it seriously.
However, at this moment, a series of rumbling sounds came from the boy's stomach.
The scene suddenly fell into silence.
The silence was a bit deafening.
The white-haired boy's face suddenly turned red.
As the brother and sister looked at his belly, he said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I haven't eaten for several days. I really can't control myself..."
