Chapter 38
After learning from Rimbaud the whereabouts of his beloved brother, Verlaine immediately set out for Japan to look for his relatives.
Since Verlaine had just attempted to assassinate the Queen of England not long ago, although he failed and only killed three Knights of the Clock Tower and the Queen's double who had just been crowned, he was deeply hated by the British and became an internationally renowned wanted criminal, and the title of "King of Assassinations" became even more resounding.
Now, Verlaine can only choose some illegal channels to ensure that he can reach Japan unnoticed.
Otherwise, as long as he appeared at a regular airport or port where identification was required, even with a fake identity, he would be easily discovered by the British spies lurking in France and would be subject to unnecessary pursuit.
Accustomed to being a lone wolf, Verlaine, after leaving the help of the French authorities, took great pains and spent a large sum of money to find the smuggling ship heading to Japan.
The comfort of this smuggling ship was extremely touching. By the time Weilun set foot on Yokohama's land, he was almost marinated in it.
It was impossible for Weilun to go to see his brother in such a bad state.
As for Japan, a small country in the Far East that can be called a supernatural desert, he does not have to worry so much. Britain, which hates him the most, is a proud supernatural power and has always disdained to pay too much attention to such a small country.
Therefore, Weilain successfully checked into the hotel for recuperation with the help of the fake ID he had prepared in advance. He needed to look his best when meeting his brother.
At this time, the highly valued Nakahara Chuuya did not know that his resentful brother had been killed. He was busy taking over the gem business given to him by Mori Ou, and he was doing it very well. Almost no one dared to look down on him because of his young age.
Back when Chuuya Nakahara was still the Sheep King, he had already made a name for himself in Yokohama, and was even able to lead a group of ordinary minors without guns, ammunition, or special abilities to fight against the notorious Port Mafia.
Therefore, unless someone is mentally ill and wants to die, no one would cause trouble for Nakahara Chuuya. No one wants to be crushed by gravity.
The mission went so smoothly, and with the nickname of "Gravity User", this outstanding new member, Chuuya Nakahara, successfully attracted the attention of the mutual aid association within the port mafia, the "Youth Association".
This news was also collected by someone and reached Douma's ears.
"The Youth Association is recruiting?"
Although being an officer candidate may sound ordinary, it actually carries a lot of weight in the port mafia that implements the five-officer system. Therefore, Douma has a legitimate right to have an independent office.
It was working hours now, and Douma was sitting behind his desk reviewing documents. Upon hearing this, he looked up in surprise and looked at the adjutant who was reporting on the internal changes of the port mafia for him.
The newly appointed adjutant is none other than Masaki Yuto, who used his position as the chairman of the Douma Fan Club to get himself a backdoor and successfully take over the position.
Although he was severely condemned by other fans' club members, the unrepentant Masaki Yuto argued that the position of Douma-sama's adjutant was originally used to handle some clerical work and inconveniences in life.
As a senior member of the logistics department, he is the best candidate compared to those clumsy and unskilled guys.
Moreover, if we ask which department is easiest to obtain intelligence, the logistics department, which is always overlooked, is undoubtedly the first. Therefore, Masaki Yuto, who has a wide network of contacts, has no guilt about his promotion.
He is confident that he can help Douma-sama control all movements within the port mafia and will not put Douma-sama in an unfavorable passive situation.
Douma is not very clear about the intrigues among his subordinates. He only knows that Masaki Yuto is very loyal to him and that he is easy to use. It seems that he knows all the news.
"Yes, Master Douma." Masaki Yuto pushed up his glasses and continued, "The Youth Association has always been committed to recruiting young and promising young people within the organization. It is not surprising that they have set their sights on Master Nakahara."
Douma put down the pen in his hand, sat up straight and leaned back, and said lightly: "But Chuuya is just fifteen years old, is he already a young man? He is obviously a boy."
Masaki Yuto was stunned for a moment, then revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "As expected of you, Douma-sama, you discovered a blind spot that I had not noticed at all."
Masaki Yuto, who had no tacit understanding with Douma, thought he had found his chance and started to flatter Douma desperately, making him so embarrassed that his scalp went numb and he almost dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with his toes.
“……” Douma couldn’t stand the cheesiness and closed his eyes.
Although, there is no need to be so exaggerated, he was just complaining!
Douma raised his hand tiredly to stop Masaki Yuto from blowing his trumpet and tried to change the subject by asking a random question: "Can the Port Mafia openly form small groups?"
"That's right, the organization doesn't have any explicit rules saying it's not allowed." Masaki Yuto answered without feeling guilty, even though he was now the organizer of a 'small' group in private.
As a clerical worker who takes high risks working in the port mafia, Masaki Yuto has studied all the rules and regulations thoroughly, because only in this way can people like them avoid being caught and punished by their superiors for crossing the bottom line that should not be crossed.
Seeing that Masaki Yuto's attention was diverted, Douma couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and continued to speak: "Okay, but this is the first time I've heard of the name 'Youth Association'. I've only heard of one called 'Hatakai'."
Suddenly remembering that the 'Youth Association' did not extend an olive branch to their Douma-sama, Masaki Yuto carefully raised his eyelids and reminded softly: "Douma-sama, the 'Youth Association' is the 'Hata Association'."
Douma nodded, thinking that the gears of fate had begun to turn. Unfortunately, the "Flag Club" was launched, and in a year, Verlaine would be sacrificed to the gods because of his strange train of thought. It was truly a tragic event.
While Douma was sighing in his heart, unknown to him, Verlaine, a professional intelligence officer, had already obtained important events that had recently occurred in Japan's underworld from the black market.
Although Rimbaud did not tell Verlaine the specific information about his brother, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for a man like Rimbaud to remain unknown, because his partner was the only human being who could compare with him.
On this point, Verlaine believed Rimbaud very much.
Following this line of thought, Weilun successfully found the person he was looking for, the recently popular "gravity user" Nakahara Chuuya. The answer was already obvious.
So this scene happened: Zhongyuan Zhongya, who had just concluded a deal, was on his way back to the Hong Kong Black Building when he was blocked by a blond man who fell from the sky.
"Why, you want to fight?"
"Hello brother, I am your brother."
The two sentences overlapped and shocked both people at the same time.
Nakahara Chuuya narrowed his eyes dangerously and said through gritted teeth: "Don't joke like that."
Family is the taboo that Chuuya Nakahara cannot touch, because in the only memory he has, he is not a human being, so how can he have a family? This vile joke makes him furious.
Weilun skipped the topic of fighting and went straight to the point: "This is not a joke. You and I are both artificial life forms created by despicable humans. There is no blood relationship. We are brothers in essence."
As he spoke, Weilun activated his power under his feet, and dark red gravity quickly spread on the ground. Everything it touched was covered with a layer of dark red light, and then floated up. He smiled and announced to Nakahara Chuuya: "We are the superpowers themselves."
"You are Verlaine." Nakahara Chuuya guessed the identity of the person in front of him, because in the previous battle with Rimbaud, the opponent had revealed the existence of Verlaine, but he did not expect that Verlaine would actually come to him.
Wei Erlan nodded in acknowledgement, and then confidently made an invitation: "It's me, come with me, Japan, this supernatural desert, is not suitable for you, Europe is the stage you should step onto."
Zhongyuan Zhongye, who was invited, just thought that Weilun was crazy, not to mention whether the brotherhood between them was real or not.
Are they really brothers if they have no blood relationship and have never lived together?
Another thing is that Chuuya Nakahara has doubts about whether he is a human or an artificial life form. Without his past memories, he cannot be 100% sure about this. How can he just leave with a "brother" who suddenly appeared?
Nakahara Chuuya frowned and firmly rejected Weierlaine: "I won't go with you."
"..." Weilun, who was rejected, didn't understand why. He stood there and watched his brother's back as he left, thinking about the reasons why his brother was unwilling to leave with him. Finally, he came to a perfectly logical conclusion.
Because there are humans in Japan that his brother cares about, his brother is unwilling to leave. All he needs to do is kill these hypocritical humans who have bad intentions and take advantage of his brother, and he can take his young and ignorant brother away.
According to what he found out about his brother's life trajectory, he had betrayed his brother and had become a "sheep" in the past, so there was nothing to worry about. Instead, the port mafia needed to be resolved satisfactorily. He hoped that there wouldn't be too many humans who had a good relationship with his brother, otherwise it would be quite troublesome to hunt them down one by one.
Thinking of this, Weilun controlled the gravity and flew into the air, then flew in the direction of the Hong Kong Black Building at a speed that ordinary people could not see with the naked eye, intending to find the leader of the port mafia to "talk" first.
Thus, Sen Ouwai experienced a disaster that happened to him at home.
Originally, the floor-to-ceiling window in the leader's office was very safe. It was made of extremely strong bulletproof glass, and was covered with thick steel plates that could be controlled. It had excellent defensive capabilities, and there was no need to worry about someone breaking through from here and assassinating the leader.
However, today, this security has been shattered in front of the world-renowned "King of Assassination".
When Sen Ou found someone outside the window, it was too late.
I saw a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes stretch out his index finger and lightly tap on the French window. Radial cracks immediately spread all over the glass, and the opponent broke into the room almost in the next second.
A huge alarm sounded immediately throughout the building, alerting everyone.
"Hello, I'm Weilan, Chuuya's brother." Mori Ogai heard the blond young man say this, and before he could react, the blond young man's next sentence made him freeze in place.
"I heard that my brother pledged allegiance to you. What a pity. I have no choice but to kill you then."
