Chapter 33
/
Sakurai had no interest in watching someone get beaten up unilaterally, so she was about to put her phone away and turn back when the sudden roar of a motorcycle caught her attention.
She narrowed her eyes and saw it was the Amamiya brothers. Sakurai had been present for their match against MUGEN a few years ago. Rumors that the two of them had challenged MUGEN and won resoundingly were untrue.
Only the older Amemiya brother, Masaki Amemiya, and Kohaku likely fought each other, a match that ended in a draw. Meanwhile, the younger brother, Hiroto Amemiya, was fighting a group of ordinary MUGEN members—strictly speaking, they lacked quality in numbers. If Masaki Amemiya and Kohaku were on par, then Hiroto's level couldn't be any weaker than Cobra and the others. That kind of strength would normally be considered remarkable, wouldn't it? At the time, Kujuku lamented that their older brother, Sonryū Amemiya, was even more powerful than the brothers.
Jiujiu never speaks nonsense, and at that time Noble just raised his eyebrows and folded his hands to look at the people fighting below.
But that was all in the past. The container, lifted by the crane, plummeted, leaving only a narrow gap between it and the ground, and the Amamiya brothers, on their motorcycles, scraped right through it. Sakurai Minami's motorcycle skills were still at the point where she had to slow down before turning. She scratched her head: Could this really be possible?
But then again, they went to the back alley. There... why? Are they friends or foes?
Knowing that Lee's only directive after the Amemiya brothers arrived was to follow them, Sakurai had already gone beyond what Lee had asked. She sighed, lamenting her life of toil, shoved her phone in her pocket, and jumped down.
With the sudden intrusion of the Amemiya brothers, the scene changed quietly.
/
In the back alley were Doubt's men, transporting the women they had kidnapped earlier. They'd taken advantage of the chaos to start a human trafficking operation. Amber didn't know about this, Li didn't know about it, and Sakurai Minami was even less aware of it. This was all Doubt's men being too clever, taking advantage of the situation.
Yagui grabbed someone and said, "Hey, where is the woman?"
The man pointed in a direction with trembling hands. Before they could get there, ICE had already caught up with a group of people: "Here they are," he said with a smile.
A few days ago, he had a fight with Hiroto Amemiya, but the outcome was inconclusive. Now they are renewing their old relationship.
"Leave it to me," said Hiroto Amamiya.
Masataka Amemiya: "Ah?" Before he could ask his doubts, the people under ICE rushed towards him with a look of understanding.
Sakurai walked out from the corner. Hiroto Amamiya and ICE were fighting fiercely, but those miscellaneous soldiers didn't seem to be able to hold out for long against Masaki.
She heard a commotion next door, and a woman screaming in her ear. It was strange. Why was there a woman's voice here? But these things would have to wait. She saw Amemiya Masaki looking up, and she chuckled.
She was one of the young people who were excited and eager to try in that battle. She had also thought about what the final result would be if she replaced Amber.
Now there is an opportunity.
/
On the other side, Cobra, Yamato and others rushed straight to the gate of Funk Jungle. Pearl and Bernie were already waiting there with their men.
"You guys ready?" he asked. People in Little Asia always spoke in a mix of Japanese and English.
The people of Sanwang did not do so. Cobra said, "Go," and so they went.
/
"Hey, hey! I don't hit women!" shouted Masataka Amemiya.
Sakurai's fist brushed past his face and she smacked her lips.
Don't hit women? Then you'll have to suffer.
Ice, who was standing next to her, took a punch from Hiroto Amamiya and still had time to greet her: "You're here, Noble. Oh, I should call you Sakurai now, right?"
"You recognized me a long time ago," Sakurai said firmly. Amemiya Masaki was dodging like a loach, annoying her. Little did she know that Amemiya was also terrified. Firstly, he really didn't hit women, and secondly, he found this woman terrifying. If he didn't break his habit of not hitting women, he might die here today.
"Ha, after all, you haven't changed at all," Ice said. He kicked Hiroto Amamiya in the stomach, and he fell to the ground, then dodged Ice's second kick.
"Can you guys just focus on the fight and stop chatting?" Hiroto Amemiya offered earnestly. He'd assumed Masaki Amemiya was holding back simply because his opponent was a woman. Masaki Amemiya had fallen so many ways with women that there was no point in mocking him. Hiroto Amemiya was genuinely trying to challenge ICE. And yet, his opponent was distracted by chatting!?
"You're right," Sakurai glanced at him. "ICE, let's talk later." She ducked her head to avoid an elbow from Amamiya. He was finally getting serious. Yeah, that was more like it.
Sakurai Minami loved it. She was often underestimated by her opponents, but these self-proclaimed strongmen were soon forced to use all their strength. And when they finally realized that struggling was useless, things became the most interesting stage.
/
Finally, with nowhere to retreat, Amamiya Masataka's back pressed against the wall. He rolled to the side, and a fist crashed into his former position. The loud thud reminded him that he had indeed just clashed head-on with death. Force is reciprocal, but this terrifying woman, seemingly insensitive to pain, delivered a second blow. He raised his arm to block it, but the force was so immense that he fell backward, along with the door. Only then did he realize he had been leaning against the door.
Sakura narrowed her eyes at the man lying on the ground and licked her lips.
It’s over, Amemiya Masaki thought.
The woman who was curled up in the room glanced at the two of them and tentatively called out, "...Noble?"
Sakura gave her a look.
This is the second time someone has called this name today.
/
The woman was Smoky's sister Lala.
Before being called Lala, she had another name, Lucy.
Hiroto Amemiya had saved her brother Smoky before, so she naturally recognized Masaki Amemiya and could see that Masaki Amemiya was in a disadvantageous situation.
But that strange and powerful woman gave her an idea that even she found absurd.
Why did this woman... remind her of Noble?
At this moment, she remembered when she was abandoned in Little Asia.
She was so cowardly that she could only hide in a corner and cry until a shadow fell in front of her.
"elder brother?"
The young boy looked at her, then looked at the young girl. After a while, he calmly asked the girl, "Do you want a friend?"
/
But now, the woman just lowered her head and looked at her, and asked calmly: "Who are you?"
At that moment, his face overlapped with that boy's.
Boy, woman, it didn't matter anymore... She was Noble, she had to be Noble.
Noble, Noble...that's great!
Lala was so excited that she almost cried: "I, I'm Lucy!"
/
Oh... Lucy. She always had trouble remembering Lucy's name, but she had a vague impression of her as a person. She was a close friend of Xiaohua. Back then... back then, she was almost implicated. No, she was definitely implicated. Even if Katsuya Ryuichiro said he would let them go, it would still have some impact.
Amemiya Masaki had already sat up from the ground and backed away. Sakurai turned and stared at him, but her words were directed to someone else: "Nice to see you here, Lucy. What are you doing here?"
"Doubt brought me here. They captured a lot of women—"
Alas, he never changes his bad habits. If Li knew about this, he would probably be furious. He paid Doubt a large sum of money, but he is still doing those dirty things at this critical moment.
"Okay, Lucy. Then I'll pretend I didn't see you. Can you get out by yourself? Or you can wait here and I'll take care of him. I'll find time to take you away." She approached Amemiya Masaki.
Li wouldn't care about Lucy. She also despised Doubt, a scumbag of scum. If Xiaohua were still alive, Doubt would surely target her. Thinking of the threat these people pose to Xiaohua... it wouldn't matter if they all disappeared, right?
Hope was just around the corner. Noble always kept his word, but Lala was so frightened that she quickly stood up and blocked Amamiya Masaki's way. Lala knew the Amamiya brothers; they had saved Smoky's life from Kowloon before. Noble was a reasonable man, so he should at least put up a fight! She shouted, "Wait, wait a minute!"
Sakura looked at her in confusion.
Come on, come on! Say something! You have to say something!
That’s right!
"Have you seen Xiaohua?"
"Ah?" Sakurai was a little drunk from playing, and the name "Xiaohua" brought him back to his senses a little.
Amemiya Masaki had already stabilized his body and was observing the current situation. Amemiya Masaki's posture returned, and fighting would be much more troublesome. Sakurai frowned and said, "I haven't found her yet--"
"She's at the Sanwang!"
Sakurai exclaimed again, "Ah!" Sanwang? Why did Sanwang keep Xiaohua? Was Sanwang going to threaten her too?
Wait, it doesn’t seem to be a question of whether it’s a threat or not.
Stop, stop.
Mountain King?
She vaguely remembered Naomi mentioning that they had found a little girl with amnesia? That was after he went to prison.
Lala quickly added, "I was waiting at Little Asia the whole time. They threw Xiaohua out, and I took her on a garbage truck and left her on Sanwang Street. I later secretly went there, and Sanwang adopted her. Oh, and Xiaohua lost her memory! She only remembers that her name is Ichika."
Sakurai grumbled, her adrenaline still kicking in. Besides analyzing the battle, her brain was incredibly slow to process any other information. "Let me get this straight. Oh, Amamiya Masaki, if you dare move, I'll kill you."
Masataka Amemiya shuddered, and Sakurai was blocking the door again. He and Lala looked at each other, both with panicked expressions.
Things almost matched up, she was sent to prison, Ichika was thrown out as useless, Lucy sent her to Sanno, Cobra picked her up, Naomi adopted her, and Lee cared so much about Sword that he naturally followed the clues to find Ichika, and through this name he found his relationship with Sakurai.
Ah, ah, how should I put it...it really was a complete mistake.
She suddenly raised her head and ordered, "Amamiya Masataka, please do me a favor... go to Sanno and find Ichika... then take a picture and send it to me..."
"ah?"
Sakurai let out a long breath: "Hurry up...Aren't you very good at riding a motorcycle? I'll give you fifteen minutes. If there is no news in fifteen minutes, you'd better be careful of your brother's life."
She held down Amemiya Masaki, took out the cell phone from his pocket, and called herself.
In the background music of the anime OP, Sakurai Minami saved the number and stuffed the phone belonging to Amemiya Masaki back into its owner's arms. She pushed the guy away from the chaos and said coldly, "Go quickly."
...Amemiya Masataka turned around and left.
