Chapter 28
/
One day while Noble was out for some exercise, he was bumped into.
There were too many idle people in the prison. Someone saw it, pointed here and started calling others to come and watch the show.
Noble held the note in his hand and put it into his pocket with a flick of his wrist. The young man who bumped into him also had an uneasy look on his face, as if it was the first time he had done this.
In fact, he won't eat you if you just touch him, Noble wanted to say this, but the man had already run away quickly.
We must recommend him to attend the next prison sports meet.
The audience huddled together, complaining about the lack of good shows. The atmosphere in the prison had changed over the past two years. Someone had colluded with the guards to start smuggling small items on a large scale, and it was becoming increasingly rampant. Cigarettes and alcohol were minor issues, but now even gambling was being openly engaged in.
The prison guards also bear the brunt of the fight, and sometimes when several people get into a fight, they even have to make a bet.
He slowly walked back to his cell, squatted in the corner and opened the piece of paper.
/
"I know where Sakurai Ichika is. - Lee"
/
……ah?
His hands trembled and he stared back and forth at the words on the piece of paper.
Ichika? Where is Ichika?
Li? Who is Li? A Chinese? How does he know "Sakurai Ichika"? Does that mean he knows me too? What else does he know? Is he related to Kowloon?
He took a breath, his heart pounding, and his grip on the paper tightened. He patted his chest, silently counting 1, 2, and began to breathe deeply.
One flower, one flower, one flower——
There were many questions in his mind at the same time, but those questions could not be answered and could only be mixed together into a mess.
Noble unfolded the crumpled paper and read it from beginning to end, over and over again. Then he tore the paper into small pieces and put them in his mouth, chewing and swallowing.
...There must be a sequel.

A lot of things did happen outside during this period.
A transfer student named "Chiharu" from Kitaya High School fell to the bottom of the school and fled all the way to Sannoh, where he was rescued by Yamato who was unaware of the situation. The balance that Sword had barely maintained was on the verge of breaking down, and finally Cobra and Kitaya High School's chief Nagamurayama had a fight before the situation was barely resolved.
Just after the previous incident was settled, A Tan was framed again and offended by WHITE RASCALS. He was beaten up again and again. Finally, it was discovered that someone under Rude Boys was involved in drug trafficking with Jiacun Society.
In the end, Arden was also involved behind all of this. Cobra had ten thousand question marks in his head, and he had accumulated a lot of things to talk about when he met Noble. After MUGEN disbanded, he re-established the Sanno Federation in order to protect the people on the streets. In the past, he was a young cadre, and he didn't need to bear the brunt of the sky. Now that he has become the "leader", he found that this is just a superficial thing. He has to restrain the people below and maintain the balance of the sword. Some people are unwilling to let him go and point at his nose and call him a coward. He has more and more things to think about, but many of them cannot be told to Yamato and others. Instead, he can only have some peace and quiet here with Noble.
Then the people at Luoqian Prison said, "Huh? Noble? Wasn't he released on bail? Why didn't he come to see you?"
A bolt from the blue. Cobra double-checked: Is it Noble? Is he sure he's out of prison?
However, even if you ask a hundred times, the answer is: Noble was released on bail quietly.
Soon, Cobra didn't even have a chance to find Noble because the leader of the Daruma family, the well-known mad dog Hinata Norihisa, was released from prison.
Everyone knew Hinata Norihisa, and everyone knew what he was going to do: he was going to turn Sword upside down.

Not to mention Cobra, even Noble was confused.
Logically, after Noble learned that he could refuse a meeting, he hadn't considered agreeing again. So, when the guards informed him this time, Noble refused. However, it was indeed a notice, and he was still arrested. Now, Noble had a better understanding: some meetings, like those with Cobra and his friends, which only happened once a month, were "normal procedures" and could be declined. But Amber, and this particular person, were forced into a situation where he couldn't refuse.
It was still the familiar glass, but there was an unfamiliar person sitting opposite it.
This man, who didn't look like a good guy, introduced himself: "Hello, I've heard of your name a long time ago... I'm Li."
Noble asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Li glanced at the prison guard standing not far behind Noble, and laughed wantonly, but his tone was cold and frightening: "I want you... to completely destroy Sword!"
How dare he say that in front of Jiulong? Oh, maybe he is from Jiulong. No, if he is from Jiulong, there is no way he would use me. The risk is too high. It is really a mess to say that.
Then again, he's even less of a good person this way, Noble thought.
But this guy knew where Ichika was.
So Noble said, "At your service."
Destroy the sword? What a big ambition! He must be quite powerful.
I hope I can hold on a little longer and not be killed by Jiulong's random finger before I find her.

That night, he said to Hinata Norihisa, "Hinata, I think I need to go out."
Hinata lazily asked, "Finally, someone is willing to make connections for you?"
"Well, he asked me to help him get the sword."
Take the sword? Hinata sat up suddenly. The D in "sword" was the Daruma family, of which he was the leader. He frowned. "What do you mean? You agree?"
"I don't know. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse - I don't know, just come out quickly." Noble sighed. He felt that these things were difficult no matter how he thought about it. The puzzle was broken into pieces and couldn't be put together at all. Maybe if he was replaced by Hinata or Jesse, they would understand the situation better than him.
Hinata chuckled, "If we ever come face to face, I won't show mercy."
"No," Noble thought, feeling a headache coming on. "Can't we just fix the match then?"
Hinata smiled, and Noble sighed. "You, the Kowloon Group, or that guy, why do you keep wanting to lead Sword? Sword...it really is a place of good fortune."

Li acted so quickly that the prison guard came to inform Noble to get ready the next morning.
Noble negotiated with him: "Can we wait until noon?" Noble felt that he had to say hello to Jesse, otherwise the next time they met might really be the day of Noble's death.
"Do you like the food in Luo Qian Prison so much?" Warning thought Noble wanted to have lunch before leaving. It was not his fault. Everyone in the prison knew that Noble was a lone ranger.
Noble thought about it and nodded. He was indeed a bit picky about food when he was a child, but the experience of Little Asia over the years helped him change this habit.
At lunchtime, he placed his plate next to Jesse. Jesse's younger brothers all looked up, but the "big brother" remained calm and just glanced at him: "What are you doing?"
"I'm leaving now."
"Huh?" Jesse gave his younger brothers a look, and they followed his advice and left with their plates. Then Jesse narrowed his eyes at Noble and said, "You're leaving? Leaving... the prison? You're leaving?"
"I think so. Someone came to my house and said he knew where Xiaohua was—"
"You'd do anything for her," Jesse said with a smile.
Noble was terrified whenever Jesse acted like this. The first time he saw Jesse act this way towards someone else, he found it strange. It was like when your childhood friend, who used to play around with you all the time, suddenly puts on formal clothes and starts talking and doing things properly, calling it growing up, but you just think he's possessed.
The possessed man asked, "What did he ask you to do?"
"Destroy the sword."
"Sword of Destruction," Jesse repeated, "Haha, be careful. Don't just trust others. Katsuya Ryuichiro is a lesson for you. I can't get out anytime soon, so don't let someone sell you out and then charge you for it."
"Got it. I'll be careful," Noble practically swore to the heavens, "I'll definitely request a meeting with you when I have time. And when you're released from prison, I'll absolutely, absolutely throw you a welcome party."
Jesse's expression was ambiguous, neither believing nor disbelieving.
Noble was released from prison safely that afternoon. He politely said "Goodbye" to the prison guard.
The prison guard shook his head and said, "It's better not to see you again."
"Too."
Noble walked out. A black car had already stopped at the door. A man got out of the passenger seat and asked, "Ms. Sakurai?"
...How many years has it been since I was called Sakurai?
The light outside was so bright that it made her eyes sore. Sakurai Nan squinted her eyes and nodded: "I am."
