Extra 11
The phone rang and the man sitting at the table turned around in surprise.
...Just a little bit. Never mind.
Genji, who was already very close to the man, simply took a step forward, covered the man's mouth with his left hand, and stabbed the knife into the man's chest with his right hand.
The man groaned a few times and finally calmed down.
It was over. But the phone kept ringing.
Genji turned around and looked: "Noble's?"
People who do this job are used to turning their phones to silent mode, but this pair of siblings are the only ones who set their phones to ring when they receive calls from each other.
Kurosaki Hana hummed. They hadn't originally planned for this guy to die this way. She looked down at the body and suggested, "Have the Fujimori team fill him with cement and throw him into the river."
"That depends on the intention of the Fujimori Group," Genji said, but he still expressed his dissatisfaction with the phone call: "The Fujimori Group is going to file a report again." After all, the Fujimori Group always complained that these guys were causing them trouble.
The people who work complain that the requirements for cleaning up are too high, while the people who clean up their butts complain that the people who work are too hasty. This contradiction has been going on for a long time.
Kurosaki Hana shrugged. She could hear the resentment in Genji. Genji was a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder and a reserved disposition. He wouldn't express his dissatisfaction directly. Of course, his way of dealing with it was simple—just pretend he didn't hear it. Genji didn't hold grudges anyway. The house was quite large. She answered the phone and walked towards the living room. "Hello? Brother?"
She was actually a little worried, because normally they communicated more through text messages. After all, if Minamoto no Chi called every time, she would really be angry... They agreed that they would only call when they had to contact each other immediately. For example, after Sword got his phone back, she saw dozens of missed calls from Noble in the call log.
"Is there anyone next to you?"
"Genji-nii is in the next room."
"Can you hear me, Genji?"
Kurosaki Hana was stunned. Was this something Genji couldn't hear? She felt vaguely uneasy, but still replied, "...I can't hear it."
"There are three members of the Upper Garden Club. I'll send you their names later. Delete them after you've read them. I need their information. Please check for me. Don't let anyone else know."
"What do you want?"
"Kill them."
"Are you crazy?" Kurosaki Hana lost control of her voice and subconsciously glanced to the side. "Do you know what you're doing? Are you trying to stir up a fight with...?"
"They were the ones who did it in the first place. They know our past, and keeping them alive is too risky."
Noble didn't explain it clearly, but precisely because he was vague, Kurosaki Hana immediately understood what "the beginning" referred to.
"……I see."
Kurosaki Hana took a deep breath. She had never seen her parents before they died; everything she had heard was relayed by her sister. After all those years at the Kurosaki Club, she had almost forgotten what her parents looked like. What were they like? What did they do for a living? She couldn't remember any of that. Her only complete memory was when Little Asia and her sisters depended on each other for survival.
If we don’t even know what our loved ones looked like when they were alive and have lost all memories of our time with them, how can we hate the person who caused their death?
...But if these people threaten my sister and her safety, that would be a different matter.

Kurosaki Hana tried her best to check the list in the information. At the same time, Noble was also paying attention to the movements of Amemiya and others.
Amamiya Tsunryu claims to have the USB drive and demands a meeting with the Uesugi. Around the same time, the Uesugi purchased a large number of guns, something Furuno and his team discovered through wiretapping.
The Shangyuan Association ultimately failed to conceal the USB flash drive, leading to a resounding rebuke at the Kowloon meeting. Shangyuan Association President Shangyuan Longchen repeatedly promised to recover the flash drive. This was a message from Liu. Besides the nine leaders, only the Ninth Lady would occasionally participate in Kowloon meetings. She had already established a formidable reputation before Kowloon even took shape, and her prosperity was inseparable from her. Even Kurosaki Junlong had to address her as "Big Sister." And since Liu Longren's return to China... the only son of the Kowloon Group's leader had naturally become involved in the matter, acting as a sort of secretary.
Compared to Noble who had information from both sides at the same time, the Amamiya brothers only knew that Amamiya Tsunryu was in danger. They immediately rushed to the place where Amamiya Tsunryu and the Shenyuan Club had agreed to meet, which was eavesdropped by Furuno and others.
But the USB drive was clearly on Sanno Street. Furuno had tried to copy it before, but it had automatically deleted itself. Amamiya Sonryū couldn't get a second USB drive; he'd simply used a fake USB drive as a messenger to trick the garden party.
In that case... he could also create an information gap and get the real USB flash drive.
About half an hour after the Amemiya brothers set out, he stood up. By then, everyone in the store had gone home, leaving Furuno with nowhere to go, curled up in a chair and dozing off. The USB drive was on the table. Sanno's leader, Cobra, glanced at him. He owed Amemiya Masaki a favor, so he had agreed to take the risk of lending the venue to help them. Furuno had nowhere else to go, and Naomi was willing to let her rest in the store. Cobra, knowing he was bothering Naomi, stayed to keep watch.
The only people in the shop now were Cobra, Noble, and a sleepy Furuno. Noble held up his phone, showing the message on it. It was a text message from a contact named "Amamiya Masataka": Bring the USB drive to Little Asia. I need it urgently.
Cobra nodded. Sword's men undoubtedly hated Jiulong, and now that they had evidence of Jiulong's crimes, they thought they could use it to defeat Jiulong. But he let the USB drive go without proof, quite casually, and it was unclear whether he was just being brotherly or just being self-righteous.
He put the USB drive in his pocket and walked to the door naturally, but he heard the blond man behind him suddenly say: "Do you want me to take you on my motorcycle? It might be faster."
Noble's fingers moved slightly. He turned his head and gave his usual, gentle smile. "No, I wouldn't be too concerned about Furuno being here alone."
"Oh." Cobra responded.
