Chapter 15
Katsuya's group gathered in the same area, and Noble and Jesse waited nearby until the early morning.
Noble sat cross-legged, counting the stars in the sky. By the time he reached 17, he couldn't tell which ones he had counted and which ones he hadn't. But he kept counting until even the few people walking around the house disappeared. Jesse suddenly asked, "Do you believe in ICE?"
"He has a lot of leadership qualities," Noble said. "He doesn't have any of our weaknesses, but he has most of our strengths."
Out of adolescent self-esteem, Jesse didn't want to think about what Noble said about his "shortcomings." But he had to admit that Noble's words were very accurate in describing ICE.
ICE appears capable, loyal, intelligent, and bold. He makes "robbing the Katsuya Group" sound like a simple meal. He's incredibly engaging, his words and actions conveying a sense of "follow me and you'll get something for nothing." Despite his youth, he possesses a well-rounded perspective, and those around him clearly sense that he knows what he's doing.
Jesse finally couldn't help but ask: "What are the shortcomings?" Sometimes, the inexplicable words Noble said really made people care.
"I'm soft-hearted and have weaknesses, but you..."
Jesse thought that this guy was quite serious about himself and was curious about how he would judge him, but Noble stopped abruptly and just forced a polite smile.
"...Keep talking."
"I won't tell you. I have something important to do. I don't want to argue with you right now."
"You said, I don't quarrel."
"...Why did you agree to ICE? Katsuya's team is so strong."
Jesse was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you know that changing the subject is very awkward?"
/
Of course, Katsuya's team is very strong.
To Little Asia, Katsuya is a giant dragon entrenched there. The Nine Dragons above him seem legendary, far away, while the Katsuya group is so close. Members of the Katsuya group's underclass can be found everywhere. They don't care if you're beaten or robbed; they'll collect protection money and even beat you up again. At best, you can avoid them and never fight back. If you fight back and get beaten, the bigger ones will follow. If the bigger ones can't beat you, they'll report you up the chain, and you'll be left "disappearing." The Katsuya group doesn't tolerate resistance. They're incredibly "people-friendly."
Even Jesse had been beaten by Katsuya's group. He had a strong sense of revenge, and if he was robbed, he would always take it back. But Katsuya's group was the only one that was difficult to deal with.
He had long been unhappy with the Katsuya team, but if ICE hadn't come up with such a feasible plan, Jesse would have definitely run away. He wasn't stupid either, he knew the difference between going hungry and finishing.
"ICE sent a signal," Noble said.
Seeing the signal sent by ICE from afar, the two "accomplices" looked at each other, stopped chatting, tied their face scarves, and looked down.
Operate on Katsuya's head... If you succeed, you can take away a lot of money and be a superior person even in the outside world; if you fail, you will die.
Jesse said, "Let's go."
"good."
Noble exhaled a breath, the poorly breathable fabric trapped the heat inside.
The needle of fate is still turning, and he is about to reach another fork in his life, and then step firmly towards destruction.

When I first entered Luoqian Prison, my neighbor, who had been patient for a day, finally asked casually, "Hey, kid, how did you get in?"
This is a solitary confinement facility, so those who are sent here are likely to be connected, difficult, or have committed serious crimes. What's the reason for this kid's imprisonment? I only heard that he was responsible for a murder, but he looks quite immature, not an adult. How did he end up in Luo Qian? Even a baby face should have a limit, and his physique looks like he's only in adolescence. This is definitely strange.
The man entered the prison in the morning and sat against the wall with his head lowered. His expression could not be seen clearly and he did not make any movements. If it were not for the movement of his body, he would have been almost dead.
This is too irritating.
"This kid..." Noble heard a voice. Someone was calling him? He looked up blankly and stared at his "neighbor," as if to confirm: Calling me? It seems so. Who is this person? I don't know him. What was he asking just now? Oh, how did I get in?
How did I get in?
Oh... I remember now. He said slowly, "Ke also let me..."
Katsuya? Katsuya's group! Related to Kowloon? The "neighbors" were shocked. Katsuya asked you to...? What crime did you commit? Murder? Katsuya asked you to kill for them? They're a big bastard with no killers of their own, so they asked you to do the job? Wait, why is this guy's face so red? Why does he look so shaky?
Noble continued, "They told me to..."
What did they ask you to do? What did they ask you to do?
"younger sister……"
But before he could finish, the boy, who looked unwell, fell to the ground with a thud. The "neighbor" stood up and shouted anxiously, shaking the railing: "Hey! Hey, wake up!" You should wait until he finishes speaking!
The prison guard who came upon hearing the noise pointed at him with an electric baton in his hand: "Stop! Hinata Norihisa! What do you want to do!" He assumed that the noise was made by the man in front of him, and he judged that this man was currently emotionally unstable.
Hinata Norihisa quickly realized this. He stopped and pointed to the side: "He's not in good condition. He fainted."
The prison guard was stunned, looked over there, and shouted into the intercom: "Area A 17, suspected fainting."
In his drowsy state, Noble heard a lot of chaotic noises. Someone slapped his face hard, and then someone pulled him up.
"It's just a fever, don't worry about it. If he dies, he dies," a voice said. "Forget it, ask the prison doctor to prescribe some anti-inflammatory medicine."
Do you have a fever?
He recalled the time when he was young and caught a fever because he wanted to stay cool. His parents found him and quickly changed his clothes and took him to the hospital. He stared blankly and saw his sister standing beside him, holding her teddy bear, while his parents rarely paid any attention to her.
That’s great... Mom and Dad only see me, not you.
But when did mom and dad close their eyes?
Kowloon Group... You've destroyed me, again and again. In a trance, he saw the little girl holding the doll, step by step, step by step, towards the balcony. She first placed the bear on the fence, then climbed up laboriously, holding on to the fence and stepping on the suitcase that had appeared on the ground at some point. Finally, she picked up the bear and stood up straight.
Jump down.
He looked up at his parents, but their faces were devoid of features, a blank space. He felt strength return to his arms, and he pushed the two strange creatures aside, ran to the balcony, and looked down, but saw nothing.
My sister is lost.
To live.
To live.
In the glaring light, his mouth was stretched open, and anti-inflammatory medicine and water were poured into his mouth. He swallowed subconsciously.
To live.
Then find my sister.
