Chapter 62 Don't Disturb Them
Before the Flag Association sent the news about Wei'erlaan and Lan Tang to Sen'ou, he had already received the news.
The fight between Wei'laine and Lan Tang was so loud, and the Port Mafia routinely had its lower-level members patrolling Yokohama in hiding, so of course they were discovered quickly.
Lan Tang's "death" happened a year ago. At that time, he was a new cadre of the Port Mafia who was highly anticipated. He died less than a year after taking office. In fact, many people still remember him.
Although it was anticipated from the beginning that Lan Tang would not remain completely inactive if Verlaine showed up, he would stand on the side of the Port Mafia and help stop Verlaine. This was something that Sen Ouwai had not expected.
...You can't really have developed feelings for Ace, so you're doing this for his sake, right?
[In other words, Weilun, who wanted to kill you, had a fight with Lan Tang, and the people from the Flag Society were also at the scene? Ah, that's so strange, does his target also include the Flag Society? Or does he also include Lan Tang? But Lan Tang is no longer a member of the Port Mafia, right?] Ace, who also heard the news, was confused.
He only knew that Verlaine's assassination targets included Mori Ogai and Dazai Osamu, and it seemed that he was targeting the Port Mafia. Although Dazai Osamu said that he guided Verlaine to change the order of assassinations, since it was aimed at the Port Mafia, the other assassination targets were probably also members of the Port Mafia.
Anyway, since the targets are all members of the Port Mafia, there is no difference for Ace. Based on this, there is no doubt that Weilan is the enemy.
But Lan Tang is no longer a member of the Port Mafia. If the other party is here to target the Port Mafia, then Lan Tang should not be his target. In other words, the other party should be going after someone in the Flag Association. As for who it is, it is really hard to say. After all, Dazai Osamu is also on the assassination list. Obviously, strength and status are not the main conditions considered by the other party.
So Ace suspected that Randou might be here to help the Flag Society. He knew the truth of last year's incident. Although Randou betrayed the Port Mafia, he actually had no hostility towards the Port Mafia. He even did not show any hostility towards Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya who defeated him. If he was here to help resist Verlaine, it would not be so strange.
The basis of Weilan's assassination list can be known just by listening to his explicit words last night. Although Dazai Osamu did not give him the complete list, Mori Ogai could roughly guess it.
Both of them are good at calculating, and because of the influence of each other, Dazai Osamu and Mori Ogai's thinking patterns are very similar. In their encrypted channels, the two of them can analyze the information based on clues such as content and tone. Those who can't keep up with their thinking will be blocked outside the encrypted channel.
For example, when the two of them seemed to be arguing with each other, they were actually communicating about the plan and layout, and Ace deliberately concealed the past.
Ace didn't realize that the man he drank with last night was Weilun. He heard so many inexplicable words last night, and even the last time the man said he wanted to kill him, he thought the other party was euphemistically telling him that he would not show mercy when the time came. Although Mori Ogai heard it, he didn't tell Ace.
"No matter what, Weilun is still too dangerous. We have to find a way to deal with him."
As long as Verlaine has not given up the idea of killing him, this person cannot be kept. As for what he said to Ace that if he loses, he will join the Port Mafia and if he wins, he will kill him, Moriogai has no hope of letting Verlaine join the Port Mafia.
He didn't believe that Ace could beat Verlaine. Even if Ace had the strength to beat Verlaine before, this body was his now! Even if that domineering power could increase a person's fighting power by one plus, could it be compared with Verlaine who had the power of gravity and was a top assassin!
What's more, Verlaine's ability is definitely not just as simple as gravity manipulation! If it is just gravity manipulation, then Nakahara Chuuya is also a gravity manipulator. Verlaine can be classified as a transcendent, but I haven't seen Nakahara Chuuya being classified as a transcendent!
Even if Ace could use Haki to fight Verlaine head-on before, Moriogai was sure that he would never be able to fight Verlaine head-on with his own body!
This is not called gambling, this is called giving away your life!
If you know that you can't beat the opponent and that the opponent will beat you if he wins, but you still fight him openly, isn't that just pure stupidity [beep]!
There is no way Mori Ougai would do such a stupid thing, and he would even decisively cut off the possibility of Ace and Weilun fighting!
Rather than betting on the 0.001% chance of Verlaine joining the Port Mafia, it is better to eliminate the 99.999% chance of being killed!
His advantage now is intelligence. He knows that the man he met last night was Verlaine. He must get rid of Verlaine before Ace knows that the man is Verlaine. Otherwise, this bastard Ace is likely to rush up and fight one on one before he can deal with Verlaine.
In order to avoid this situation, the next intelligence and plans must be kept away from Verlaine. At least, it is best not to show up in any situation where Verlaine may reveal to me that he is the person from last night.
Ace, who was completely unaware of the situation, did not associate the name Wei Erlan with the blond man he met last night. He said naturally, "I have no objection. Do you want me to help?"
Ace is not polite to assassins. If the opponent wants to kill Mori Ougai, it is normal for Mori Ougai to want to kill the opponent. For Ace, if the assassin wants to assassinate him, he will certainly help to deal with the opponent if his companions need it.
Although those who can go out to sea as pirates have a certain degree of self-protection ability, there are still some crew members who are not so good at fighting. If the enemy insists on using high-strength combatants to attack the less skilled fighters on his ship, he will certainly not hesitate to smash them into pieces :)
"No, you don't have to interfere." Sen Ouwai immediately refused.
How could he dare to let Ace take action? What if Ace saw Verlaine's face when the trap against Verlaine was being implemented and found out that he knew this man? Moriou couldn't even imagine what would happen next!
[Well then...] Ace replied with a bit of regret. He was actually quite curious about what kind of guy Weilun was who was going to kill him. To be called the assassin king, he must have something special about him.
The opponent is a transcendent. If they want to kill him, they will have to use all the strength of the Port Mafia. Moriou went through the information of all the superpowers of the Port Mafia, the inventory of weapons and equipment, and the deployment of personnel, and sighed slightly.
“It’s a tough battle.”
Having experienced the great supernatural war that almost swept the entire world, Mori Ougai knows better than most people what a terrifying existence the Transcendents are.
The superpower war that swept the world was forcibly stopped by just seven transcendents. Even if Moriou used all his assets and exhausted all available strategies, he would still feel unsure about how to deal with superpowers of this strength.
Faced with absolutely overwhelming force, even if Mori Ougai put all the methods he could think of together, he could not guarantee that he would win, and his chance of winning was even less than 50%.
But there was nothing he could do about it. The enemy's target was him, and it also included the top brass of the port mafia. He could not avoid this battle. Even if it was a losing battle, he had to face it head-on.
But now that Lan Tang has shown up and seems to be in a position to join forces, his original plan will have to be changed.
Randou is also a Transcendence, and he is currently the only person in Yokohama who is capable of competing with Weilan.
But given the friendship between Lan Tang and Wei Erlan, even if they broke up, Lan Tang would not necessarily kill Wei Erlan, so it would be too risky to directly tell Lan Tang to join forces to kill Wei Erlan. The safest way is to guide Lan Tang and Wei Erlan in the direction you want and use Lan Tang's power to kill Wei Erlan.
…
The incident scene developed faster than Mori Ogai had expected. At least Mori Ogai did not intend for Nakahara Chuuya to fight the opponent so soon.
Nakahara Chuuya is his strongest trump card. The core of his original plan is Nakahara Chuuya's strength. With him as the leader and the full strength of the port mafia, it is possible to win. Although the plan has been changed because of the appearance of Lan Tang, Nakahara Chuuya is still an important part of his plan.
Although it is basically certain that Weilun will not kill Nakahara Chuuya, if Nakahara Chuuya loses his fighting ability now, he can only rely on Lantang, an uncertain chess piece, and all subsequent plans will be risky.
However, Weilun and Nakahara Chuuya have started fighting in advance.
The intelligence officers who rushed to the scene to report in real time were not able or dared to get close. When the two gravity users really started fighting, the destructive power was amazing. Even though Lan Tang was on the scene to control the scope of the destruction, the ground in that area had been blown up, and the central area was a mess. The dust and debris made it impossible for the intelligence officers who were watching from a distance to see what was happening inside. They could only judge from the movement in the dust that the two people were still fighting and had no intention of stopping.
Within the battle zone, Lan Tang relied on his special ability to withstand the dust and sand storms raised by the two people in the center of the storm, watching from a distance. He did not intervene in the fight between Weierlain and Nakahara Chuuya. He knew that according to Paul's thinking, this fight would have happened sooner or later, but it just happened to be today. At worst, when he really couldn't stop, he would help Nakahara Chuuya.
Adam was not so relaxed. His entire body was stuck to the ground, and even his head and back were covered with gravel. However, he was a robot, and his eyes were not the same as humans. Humans would be blinded by the wind and sand, but he was not. Moreover, his body was equipped with a series of auxiliary functions such as thermal imaging, infrared, ultraviolet, etc., so he could see the situation in the center of the storm clearly.
He tried to calculate and found that Nakahara Chuuya's chance of winning was not high. Although there was so much commotion now, in fact, Nakahara Chuuya was not in the upper hand. He secretly lifted his less damaged left arm from under the gravel and turned it into a small turret in the blink of an eye, trying to aim at Weilun to help Nakahara Chuuya.
…and then he was stepped on by Lan Tang, who was standing not far in front of him.
Adam looked up at the man who was stepping on his arm.
Lan Tang didn't even look at him, still looking straight ahead: "Don't disturb them."
Adam paused and said, "According to my calculations, even if I join in, it won't bring much change to the battle situation..."
The cold-blooded Lan Tang retracted his foot, changed position, and stepped on his head into the ground.
Adam: “…”
Humans are really strange. This machine is clearly telling the truth.
