Chapter 19
Katsuya Ryuichiro really doesn't bother to care about other people in the "family".
The weak simply clung together for warmth. Coming from a wealthy background and having been deeply involved in Little Asia for years, he understood the fragility of such bonds. Keeping these people around was pointless. Quality, not quantity, was key; a single flower was enough to control Noble. As for what to do with these people... while the loss of someone in Little Asia wouldn't be a big deal, they were still laborers after all, so Katsuya Ryuichiro didn't mind.
Lucy was the unlucky one in this matter. Several of them, including For, were detained together, and the number of people kept growing as time went on. This was because Katsuya's group was lurking outside her home, arresting anyone who came back.
They had no food or water, and no one even paid any attention to them. They stayed there for a few hours before being sent out.
Lucy is very smart. When she saw that everyone around her was except Noble and Xiaohua, she knew that something had happened to Noble.
The family was originally supported by Noble. Now we don’t know whether Noble can come back or not, and we don’t know whether there will be a second liquidation in the future after this incident.
Anyway, Lucy decided to run away. For was right beside her while she packed up. He didn't say a word or move, just watched her pack up.
Lucy paused, looked at him and asked, "You're not leaving?"
"...I'm not leaving," the big, fierce-looking man said, "If I leave, what will happen to those children?"
"You're a good person! Noble is also a good person! Bad person, I'm the bad person, okay?" Her voice became louder and louder, and finally she threw something and said, "I don't care, I'm leaving!"
"What about Xiaohua?"
"..." She was silent, pausing for a moment, but soon she quickly pulled out her accumulated belongings from the pillow and stuffed them into her bag along with the things she had just packed. "Goodbye."
At the same time, ICE had already come to Lucy's door and ran into her head.
Lucy didn't recognize him and took two steps back, her face wary. She thought he was from Katsuya's group until ICE asked, "Where are Noble and Jesse?"
Lucy didn't want to cause any trouble, so she spread her hands and said, "They've been captured by the Katsuya team. Goodbye." She took a few steps forward, but couldn't help but turned back and asked, "Are you going to save them?"
"Probably." said ICE.
"...Well, do your best." And with that, Lucy left without looking back. She didn't think she was as powerful as Noble. What use could she be to a problem that Noble couldn't solve? If the other person were a human, she might have fought for their life out of a favor. But this was the Katsuya Group, an organization she couldn't even muster the heart to resist.
I'm sorry...but, but I want to live too!
Tears flowed down her chin to the ground. These tiny amounts of water evaporated in a short time under the sunlight, leaving no trace, just like the hidden feelings the girl once had.
ICE pondered the matter and decided to go find Bernie. Bernie had a few good friends and wondered if they could be brought on board to help rescue the suspects.

At 18:05, a car carrying Noble drove out of Little Asia.
The next day, MUGEN, an organization well-known far and wide, recruited a group of new members, one of whom was named Noble.
/
In the gathering place in Kowloon, Noble met the so-called MUGEN cadres. Yamato, who brought him here, introduced them happily: "This is Brother Amber! Brother Jiujiu...well, I don't know where he went. Originally, Guxi and Brother Ota should have been here, but they went to the United States to play professional games, and--" He paused for a moment and didn't continue.
The man whose name was called nodded in greeting.
Noble knew where the unfinished sentence was. He was supposed to say "Ryuya." The information provided by Kowloon mentioned a man who had once belonged to MUGEN, but had left for unknown reasons. The man named Amber was the general manager of MUGEN, and Kyujuku was also a key member of the team.
Noble could only give an awkward but polite smile and sigh: "America, America is good." America, America again.
Yamato sighed, then greeted a silent young man next to him: "Hey, Cobra."
Noble looked up too. To be fair, this man called "Cobra" was pretty good-looking. And that was it. He didn't say anything, so Noble could only say "Hello."
But Yamato and Cobra were obviously familiar with each other. They were arm in arm with each other's shoulders. Cobra asked in a low voice: "Why did you bring people here?"
Noble actually heard it, and he looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, pretending to be a wooden man.
Yamato elbowed him and said, "Don't underestimate Noble because he's small. He's a fierce fighter!"
As he said this, Cobra looked Noble up and down and said nothing more.
/
Then one day, Yamato dragged him to the western restaurant ITOKAN. This time, Jiujiu brother was there, and so was that Ryuya brother.
To be precise, everything is here except amber.
Ryuya walked over with a smile and patted Noble on the shoulder, "I've heard about you, the new guy. You're pretty good at fighting. Have you learned anything?"
Although he had left, he was still well-informed. Noble had no idea what was going on.
"I haven't learned it." Noble was very humble.
"It's a shame Ota and Guxi went to America to fight professionally! Otherwise it would be nice to teach you two-handed boxing."
Noble agreed, "Yeah, that's a shame." He really wasn't very good at dealing with such pleasantries.
Ryuya looked at Noble carefully again, and suddenly realized: "No wonder they say you look like Cobra, you really do."
Cobra was completely bewildered. He looked at the bewildered Noble, then at Yamato, who was trying to suppress his laughter, and finally at Ryuya, who was laughing wildly. He subconsciously felt that this was not a good thing. "What is this?"
Yamato and Ryuya exchanged a glance, then turned around and put their arms around Noble's shoulders as they walked towards the front desk. The young girl looked up at Yamato with a bad expression, but she was obviously gentle when she looked at Noble: "Would you like something to eat?"
"Uh," Yamato touched his nose and introduced, "This is Naomi. Just tell me what you want to eat."
Naomi said unhappily, "Where did you bring your injuries back from?"
"No, no, this time I have Noble to help me. Here, look." Yamato pulled his sleeves to reveal his arms and pulled the hem of his clothes to reveal his abdominal muscles, trying his best to prove that he was fine.
Naomi couldn't bear to look at it and turned her head away: "Please spare me!"
Cobra, who had followed, also turned his head. He felt a little reluctant to let Yamato's reputation plummet completely, and added to Noble: "They are childhood sweethearts."
Noble nodded, understanding.
The last of them sat down with a glass of lemonade in hand. Yamato was talking about motorcycles, which he knew a lot about, and he spoke very clearly.
Long Ye suddenly asked: "Noble, do you have a motorcycle?"
"No." Noble replied, scratching his head a little embarrassedly: "I don't have a driver's license, I can't drive..."
Yamato gave him a look of "How could someone not know how to ride a motorcycle?", but he quickly decided, "I'll teach you!"
They soon began teaching Noble how to operate a motorcycle, things like the Type 38, which flooded his mind all at once, giving Noble a headache.
Ryuya smiled slightly, stopped participating in the conversation, walked to the other side of the booth, and sat next to Jiujiu.
"MUGEN is expanding too quickly, and it's a mixed bag. It's better to slow it down and screen it out."
Jiujiu sighed, "He won't listen to me. Only you can persuade him, but he is stubborn and doesn't want to listen to you."
