Chapter 57 Assassination King

Although he had received the news that a powerful killer was coming to kill him, Ace was not really nervous. Perhaps it was because his previous life was too exciting, and he was often in an environment where his life was not guaranteed. Now, he only felt the excitement of having to fight against a strong person.

The information on the assassination of King Verlaine was pitifully scarce. The only information available was revealed by organizations that had been on Verlaine's hit list in the past, as well as some countries whose top leaders had been assassinated. On the other hand, the country that controlled Verlaine in the earliest days refused to reveal any information at all.

Moreover, as the assassin king, Weilun himself has superhuman concealment and anti-detection skills, so the relevant information that can be found outside Morigu is very limited. As for the other party's appearance, it is completely unknown. After all, there is no video or photo of the other party.

After Mori Ou arranged the organization's affairs outside during the day, Ace went online at night and randomly chose a bar to go in for a drink.

Moriou didn't ask Ace to become an advanced language player. Now that he could recognize and read almost all the characters, he didn't have any problems, so he didn't bother to care about Ace. So now that Ace was online, life became very comfortable.

There are more food stores in Yokohama than bars. In the past year, Ace was online only half of the time, and most of the time he was online was taken by Mori Ogai to learn. In the past year, less than a quarter of the time was free for him to arrange, and a lot of it was used to deal with the port mafia. The time he could actually fully control was pitifully small.

That is to say, even though he is so keen on exploring restaurants, he still hasn't been to all the food stores and bars in Yokohama.

He has not yet completed his small goal of visiting all the bars and eating at all the food stores in Yokohama.

Originally he wanted to find someone to go to the bar with, although it is also fun to go to the bar alone and meet new and interesting people.

...Of course, from the perspective of a pirate, if you sit together and drink to your heart's content today, you may not even exchange names, and you may never meet again after leaving the bar, but it doesn't matter, as long as everyone is happy sitting together at the moment. If you happen to meet again in the future and drink together again, that would be great.

But maybe because there was an executive meeting yesterday outside Morio and the matter of Verlaine was mentioned, everyone seemed very busy today. Ace took a quick look and found that there was no one in the executive level who didn't have something to do. If it wasn't for the executive level, Dazai Osamu and Yumeno Hisasaku were nowhere to be found, and Nakahara Chuuya went to the "Old World" entertainment club with the flag association to play.

But the name of that place is quite interesting. The second half of the Great Route is called "New World".

The people of Yokohama probably have their own set of sensors to avoid danger, or perhaps the ups and downs that Yokohama has experienced over the years have eliminated those who have not developed this set of danger sensors, so now the people of Yokohama will subconsciously reduce the frequency of outdoor activities when a storm is about to come.

Ace went out late today. After the exchange, Moriou also arranged some urgent matters for him that he had not had time to deal with. Ace dealt with them all before going out to find a place to have dinner. It was almost seven o'clock when he went out. After finishing his meal and digesting it, it was already past nine o'clock, just in time to go to the bar to start his nightlife.

There were very few people in the bar I randomly walked into today. It was a relatively quiet bar, very suitable for two or three friends to chat and relax, and also a place for frustrated people to drown their sorrows in a drink.

The seat in front of the bar was already occupied. Ace saw that besides the blond young customer sitting on a high stool, there was only the bartender, so he went over and sat down next to the young customer, and said to the bartender in a casual manner: "Give me a glass of rum!"

The young man next to him turned his head to look at him, his eyes moved slightly, then turned his head back, gently raised the glass of red wine in his hand and took a sip.

Ace noticed his gaze and turned his head to look over. Seeing the red wine he was drinking, he put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "Would you like to try some rum? Rum is stronger than red wine!"

He hadn't seen such a deep-featured face for a long time, and suddenly he felt a little familiar when he saw it. According to the classification here, more than 90% of his former companions had Western faces, and there were only a handful of Eastern faces. Moreover, all of his companions with blond hair had Western faces, without exception. After coming to this world, the blond hair he saw were all Eastern faces, such as Albatross, and it was really hard for him to feel nostalgic.

The blond young man turned his head again because of his action, staring at the hand on his shoulder without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

However, while he was thinking, Ace had already asked the bartender to pour him a glass of rum. He held his own glass of wine in one hand, took back his other hand, and pushed the other glass of wine in front of the blond young man, "Try it?"

The blond young man's eyes turned as he moved, staring silently at the glass of wine he was pushing, as if there was something weird in it that made him unable to take his eyes off it.

Ace took a big sip of rum, exhaled briskly, and then looked at the blond young man who didn't move at all. He even left the glass of red wine that he hadn't finished drinking aside. So Ace looked at him straight and urged, "It's delicious, why don't you try it?"

After he spoke again, the blond young man shifted his gaze to him again, staring at him intently as if he was looking at a strange object.

Sen Ou felt a little creepy when he was staring at him. He felt that the young man's reaction was very strange, so he could not help but remind him: "Be careful."

Ace quickly finished a whole cup, and after hearing what Mori Ogai said, he hummed twice, and then met the eyes of the blond young man. Then the two of them looked at each other in silence, and the other's eyes seemed to be looking at something strange. Ace just looked at them and regarded this as a staring contest to see who would look away first.

When Mori Ougai saw his own expression in the other's pupils, he quickly understood what Ace was thinking at the moment. He just felt very tired.

Ace stared at the back and tried not to blink, his eyes were red and he was about to cry. Even the experienced bartender had never seen such a strange eye contact, and after refilling Ace's drink with a tactful look, he couldn't help but quietly move away.

No, it seems that this is not the way two men see it when they fall in love with each other. And they have been seeing each other for so long, so it’s time to take the next step, right?

Ace stared without blinking, and the blond-haired young man opposite him didn't know what he was thinking, but he also stared without blinking, and his eyes became a little red.

The unexpected development made Mori Ouwai yawn in boredom. He knew that Ace's IQ would be low from time to time, and he didn't know where the man opposite him came from, so he also lost his IQ.

Finally, Ace couldn't hold it anymore. He blinked his wet eyes uncontrollably, then closed them tightly and said loudly, "Okay, you win! I'll pay for your expenses today!"

Mori Ogai's wallet suddenly shrank again: ...

Here we go again!

You're really generous to cover the expenses if you like her! Fortunately, you're not a permanent resident of the bar!

The blond young man who won something inexplicably was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "You are more interesting than I expected."

When Moriogai heard this, the alert radar started to sound. It sounded like what the other party said was directed at him from the beginning, but Ace looked like he didn't understand a thing and even laughed when he heard him say that he was interesting.

"Ha, you're interesting too!" He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. His professional habits as a pirate captain and team leader came back to him. He patted the blond young man's shoulder and invited him with a smile, "Come and be my partner!"

Mori Ogai: [……]

Sen Ouwai couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Ace would not invite anyone to be his companion casually. He would make such an invitation probably because he saw that the other party was not an ordinary person.

...No, Ace's words may not be understood by comprehension. He should have relied on intuition to feel it.

The blond young man seemed to be stunned by Ace's brilliant move. He said quietly, "Do you know who I am? You invited me here. Aren't you afraid that I am here to kill you?"

Mori Ougai was so frightened by this question that seemed real but not real that his scalp was tingling.

No way, no way? He wouldn't be so "lucky" to run into Verlaine who came to kill him! ?

Ace didn't take it seriously at all. He even got drunk and hooked his arm around the other man's shoulders. "Huh? You want to challenge me? Sure, but let's drink tonight and we can talk about the challenge later. If you lose, just be my partner!"

Moriowa was shocked by this development, but he couldn't help but secretly hope that Ace could really recruit him successfully, because he now suspected that this person was the assassin king Weilun whom he had seen in the intelligence before.

If it really is that person, and if he is successfully recruited, not only will he be removed from the assassination list, but he can even get a Transcendent for free, making a killing!

The blond young man changed his posture, propping his head on the bar with one hand, and gently shaking the wine glass that Ace had pushed in front of him with the other hand. His eyes fell on Ace, and he said "wow" with a long tone of interest, "Do you think I will lose if I fight you?"

"Whether we win or lose won't be known until we fight!" Ace raised the wine glass that had been refilled at some point and held it in front of the blond-haired young man, saying, "Come on, let's drink together!"

The blond young man chuckled, "I saw you came to my door on your own, so I was going to take advantage of you... Never mind." He raised his glass of rum and clinked it with the glass Ace handed over. "Since you have already chosen how to die, I will come to take your life later."

Sen Ou was speechless for a moment as he watched the blond young man clink glasses with Ace and then really start drinking.

Hey guys, it’s confirmed!

This man is really the assassin king Weilun who came to kill him!
