Under the illumination of neon lights, the night sky seemed particularly dark. In the cold wind, Kidd and John strolled in the shopping street. The cold wind always seeped in through the cracks, forcing people to wrap their clothes tightly to protect the little warmth.
A white spot of light fell on Kidd's face, followed by the second, the third...
“It’s snowing!”
"The first snow of the year!"
The crystal snowflakes fell with the wind and gradually became dense. Many lovers cheered in surprise. People who like winter must like snow. Who doesn’t love the heavy snow that is as white as dew and flying like grass?
Kidd stretched out his hand and caught a snowflake. In his warm palm, the snowflake disappeared in an instant, just like a blooming flower.
"Even if life is short, it must bloom with its own warmth and coldness..."
"Miss Lisa, what did you say?"
"It's okay, just talking to myself."
Kidd reached into his clothes and lifted up his fake breasts:
"Let's continue shopping."
"Okay, I wonder what you like, Miss Lisa?"
John asked with a smile:
"I want to give you a Christmas present."
"No, you're too polite."
"Meeting is destiny. We bumped into each other on the street on Christmas Eve. It was fate. And you helped me so much. I must thank you. Otherwise, God will not forgive me."
John showed the bag in his hand, which contained the souvenirs he had just bought in the gift shop and was going to give back to his colleagues.
"Does Mr. John also believe in Christ?"
"Of course, my whole family are devout Christians. What about Miss Lisa? Are you interested in Christianity?"
"well enough...."
Of course Kidd couldn't refuse immediately, so he said tactfully:
"I heard that there are many sects within Christianity?"
"Yes."
John nodded immediately. This was something he was very familiar with:
"From an orthodox perspective, Christianity has three denominations: Catholicism, Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy. Catholicism is mainly distributed in Europe, while Eastern Orthodoxy is near Islam. In the United States, most people believe in Protestantism."
"Does Miss Lisa know about the relationship between Ireland and Ying?"
"I've heard a little bit about it. The relationship between Ying and Ireland has always been bad."
"This is because the state religion of Ying is Protestantism, and the Irish believe in Catholicism."
John smiled and said:
"Back in the Age of Discovery and the East India Company, the maritime hegemons included countries like England and Spain. The main reason for the constant disputes between these two countries, in addition to conflicts of interest, was because of their religious differences."
"The biggest basis for distinguishing Catholicism from other religious sects is whether or not one recognizes the primacy of the Roman Catholic Church. In the eyes of Catholic believers, only the Roman Catholic Church is orthodox, and all others are heretical."
"Catholicism did not have so many sects in the beginning. The most important turning point was Martin Luther's religious reform, which separated from Catholicism and formed the current Protestantism."
"I've heard of him."
"If Miss Lisa is interested, I can explain the teachings of the Bible to you in more detail."
"For now, I'd rather not do it. If my father knew that I was a religious person, he would definitely beat me to death."
"good."
John did not force it. After all, whether to believe in such things is up to the individual. There are many Catholics in the United States alone. As a Protestant, can he go to someone's house and ask them to convert to Protestantism?
That's not called a believer, that's called a madman.
"Miss Lisa, you haven't told me what you like yet."
“I love jewelry.”
"Jewelry..."
John stroked his stubble and thought for a while. Suddenly he saw a jewelry store in front of him, so he took Kidd's hand and said:
"How about we go over there and take a look?"
"Mr. John..."
Kidd was very resistant to John's behavior, both psychologically and externally, mainly because he was frightened by Hattori Heiji two days ago. This kind of drama should be played once, and it will happen again...
Even gods can’t withstand it.
John knew that he couldn't lose heart at this moment, so he dragged Kidd into the jewelry store without further ado.
"Welcome."
A burly, black-clothed man with a thick face walked up to you with a smile on his face, rubbing his hands. He looked fawning, but you always felt that he would pull out a gun and shoot you between the eyebrows at any time.
"Are all jewelry store employees so tough nowadays?"
John took a half step back in fear, shocked by the aura of the burly man in black.
Where is the sweet-speaking and smiling lady? !
"Who the hell asked that idiot Sangu to go out and receive the guests?"
In the backstage lounge of the jewelry store, Ishikawa Hide cursed inwardly and rolled his eyes in anger.
"Brother, it was you who asked him to watch the door..."
In the darkness, a skinny man stuffed a cloth ball into the clerk's mouth, tightened the ropes around them, and said in a low voice:
"We are busy doing this..."
"I told him to guard the door and notify us immediately if he sees the target!"
Ishikawa Hide's eyes widened:
"Who told him to go out and greet customers? Does he look like a shop assistant? Damn it, this idiot, the butt of his gun is sticking out of his waist!"
The skinny man spread his hands, expressing his helplessness:
"Brother, you know him. Sangu is a pure acting genius. He always wants to show off. If he hadn't failed in his application for an actor, you wouldn't have run into him on the street!"
"I shouldn't have brought him here today!"
At this point, Ishikawa Hide was left with no other options. Since Mitani had already met his target, it was impossible to call him back at short notice.
but....
In such an important occasion, it would be impossible for Mitani to control the situation alone, so Ishikawa Hide put his pistol in his pocket, asked his younger brother to watch the clerk, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the backstage.
"Oh my, a distinguished guest has come to visit us! A distinguished guest has come to visit us!"
Ishikawa Hide's smile blossomed like a flower garden. He quickly walked over to John, whose eyes were even more terrified, and held out his hand:
"I am the manager of this jewelry store. What would you like to buy?"
"I....."
Looking at the two burly men in front of him, John wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start, so he looked at Kidd beside him and asked:
"Ms. Lisa, feel free to pick whatever you like. I'll pay for it."
"Ah... this is not good..."
"It doesn't matter. I might even want to take your father as my teacher. Of course I'll have to give him some gifts first. I'll need you to introduce him to me then."
John brought up the matter of learning karate so that Kidd would think that his purpose was pure and it would be easier for him to succeed.
"Oh well."
Kidd put his hair up, put his hands behind his back, and walked around the store. Soon...
He found his target in the window.
The Green Emperor!
Fake!
