Chapter 98

By the time Mori Ougai returned to the Hong Kong Black Building from the hospital, everyone who should know had already known about the farce caused by Officer A.

After all, the commotion just now when Sen Ou mobilized troops to search for cadre A caused such a big fuss, it would be hard for anyone in the Port Mafia who was not deaf and blind not to know about it. At least several high-ranking cadres already knew the whole story.

Ozaki Koyo, who usually does not get involved in other people's affairs, sipped tea leisurely while listening to the detailed and vivid reports from his subordinates.

After her subordinates finished reporting, Ozaki Kouyo raised her lips as if she was enjoying a good show. Then, she raised her arm to cover her eye-catching red lips with her sleeves. Her tone revealed her innermost emotions: "Mr. A really opened my eyes."

The words that seemed to praise Officer A were full of deep meaning. The subordinates who heard the weird tone in them couldn't help but twitched the corners of their mouths. However, the smile had not yet fully formed. After being glanced at by Ozaki Koyo, the subordinates quickly put away their smiles and acted as if they were looking at the nose with their eyes and the heart with their noses.

Ozaki Hongye looked at this obviously unintelligent subordinate and shook her head. After a sigh, she still patiently instructed him: "No matter how Mr. A got to the top, it is not a reason for you to make fun of your superiors recklessly. If you are caught by someone by accident, I can't protect you."

The subordinate's heart sank, and the indifference caused by the joke made by cadre A disappeared. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and repeatedly assured: "Master Hongye, the subordinate knows his mistake, there will be no next time."

The Mafia at the port has a strict hierarchy. If he was foolish enough to show his disrespect to Officer A on his face, he would be courting death. If Officer A got wind of it, he would be in great danger even if Sister Hongye was protecting him.

"Go down." Ozaki Koyo nodded, and her tone became much softer. This kind of subordinate who is not smart but obedient enough is also quite useful. At least it is much less troublesome than a smart but not obedient child.

Thinking of this, Ozaki Kouyo turned her head slightly and looked at the little girl standing beside her who was smart enough but not obedient enough, Izumi Kyoka, who had just been taken in by the port mafia a few days ago, a little girl whose supernatural powers were subtly similar to hers.

With Ozaki Koyo's experience, she can naturally see that under Izumi Kyouka's quiet and obedient appearance, she has a heart that yearns for light. However, this is not a good thing for her, because Kyouka's natural talent destined her to belong to the dark.

Just by looking at that small figure, Ozaki Koyo seemed to see herself when she was young, the innocent and weak self that made people feel distressed, so she couldn't help but look at it more.

Looking at Izumi Kyoka, who was armed with an expressionless face, Ozaki Kouyo's cold eyes softened, and she stretched out her right hand with red nail polish to the stiff little girl.

Izumi Jinghua was very scared but forced herself to keep her eyes open. Instead of the expected pain and injury, she widened her eyes slightly like a frightened deer, but only felt a familiar warmth surrounding her, which made her feel uneasy but also nostalgic.

Hands like her mother's, with a faint fragrance, deftly combed her hair. The long hair, which was a little messy due to no one taking care of it, became tidy in no time.

Ozaki Kouyo pushed Izumi Kyouka's shoulders and gently pushed her in front of the mirror. She lowered her head and praised her softly in her ear: "Isn't my taste good? This color really suits Kyouka-chan."

The ordinary headband that was originally used to tie the hair was replaced by a headband with beautiful white flowers, making the already cute little girl look even cuter.

Looking at her own reflection in the mirror, the nine-year-old Quan Jinghua was stunned. She touched the white petals on her headband with an inexplicable feeling. Does white suit her?

"The Port Mafia has always had a tradition that the guide who brings newcomers into the industry will give them an induction gift." Ozaki Kouyo held her half in her arms, stroking Izumi Kagamika's hair from time to time, looking into the eyes of the little girl in the mirror, and smiled, "Welcome to join the Port Mafia, Kagamika-chan."

At the port mafia, receiving a gift personally selected by an officer as a gift for joining the company was clearly a symbol of rapid advancement. However, this did not tempt Izumi Kyoka, who did not want to fall into darkness. She nodded expressionlessly, "Thank you, Master Hongye."

Of course, Ozaki Koyomi could feel the resistance behind Izumi Kyouka's obedient answer. It was obvious that the tug-of-war between her and Kyouka-chan would continue for a long time, but she was a person who had never lacked patience.

At the same time, Mori Oo, who had returned to the leader's office on the top floor, called the internal line and politely invited Douma to come over.

Since he promised Officer A that he would have a good talk with Douma, Mori Ogai would not go back on his word. As for what they will talk about after the meeting, that is up to each person to decide.

While waiting for Douma to arrive, Mori Ogai carefully went over in his mind all the information and related speculations he knew about Douma.

Douma is so powerful that he can be called the port mafia... no, the ceiling of the entire Japan. His personality is also cold and cruel to the point of being flawless. The only breakthrough seems to be the two children he adopted: Yumeno Hisasaku and Nakajima Atsushi.

However, Mori Ogai, who had already seen through Douma's true illness, had every reason to doubt that a monster like Douma, who was born without emotions and unable to empathize with others, would really care about the two children he adopted?

As a senior worrier, Mori Ogai quickly gave the answer in his mind: No, that monster-like man would not really care about the life and death of the two children, even though Douma often deliberately behaves like a silly father in front of outsiders.

It demonstrates what it means to "accidentally fall into the wrong zone due to being too professional".

Douma: ...But as long as you are happy.

Ignoring the truth that was right in front of him, Mori Ougai focused all his attention on the sentence about hating sunlight in the document. His white-gloved fingers tapped the tabletop regularly, and a hint of contemplation flashed in his dark red eyes.

Thinking it would be worth a try, Sen Ou opened the drawer, took out the remote control, and opened all the special bulletproof steel plates and curtains that blocked out all sunlight.

In an instant, the dazzling afternoon sunlight burst into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, almost occupying the entire leader's office, with only a few corners left in the shadows.

Alice, who was badly hit by the sunlight, pursed her lips unhappily and muttered a few words, but she did not ask Mori Gugai to close the curtains. Not to mention the fear from Mori Gugai, the voice of Douma, which was exactly the same as that of the hated Dazai Osamu, was enough to make Alice angry.

Humanoid superpower Alice: Super scary (crossed out) Hate it!

So, when Douma knocked on the door of the leader's office, he found that he could hardly take a few steps forward without being surrounded by the sunlight.

Because it was a safe indoor activity, Douma didn't bring the standard black umbrella: "..."

In order to better test Douma, Mori Ogai did not choose to sit behind the desk where there was almost no sunlight. Instead, he chose to sit on a chair placed next to the floor-to-ceiling window for convenient viewing. He bathed in the sunlight and squinted his eyes comfortably.

This familiar scene made Douma's mouth twitch uncontrollably. The scene was only a plate of snacks away from the last time they met, okay?

Mori Ogai, who was in a hurry and didn't have time to order afternoon tea, sighed with regret, and cast his eyes to Douma who had just closed the door, pointed to the chair opposite, and invited him warmly: "Douma-kun, don't you want to come and sit? Sunbathing is very comfortable."

"No need. I don't like the feeling of sunlight shining on my body." Douma said half-truthfully. He looked at the place where Moriogai pointed and couldn't help but frown. If he really sat over there, he would probably die on the spot.

Hearing this, Morio moved his fingers at his side, and smiled calmly. He did not continue to insist, but took the initiative to change the subject: "I think Douma-kun should know the purpose of my visit today."

"Because of Officer A?" Douma frowned slightly, showing some unhappiness.

"Yes and no." Mori Owai shook his head and didn't keep the question secret. He quickly explained, "Today's incident was A-kun's fault. How could I embarrass Douma-kun for this?"

“……” Douma didn’t say anything. Just listen to Mori Ouga’s nonsense and don’t believe it.

Seeing that Douma just smiled and said nothing and didn't respond to him, Mori Ogai didn't find it strange. If Douma was really so easily deceived by words, he wouldn't be so wary of him.

Oscar-worthy Mori Ogai smiled helplessly: "Although it is obvious that Mr. A is at fault in this matter, the port mafia is so short of money right now, so I can only turn a blind eye to Mr. A's outrageous behavior."

Smart people don't need to say too much. It is obvious that the extraordinary behavior that Mori Ougai refers to here is the incident in which Officer A attacked the new recruits of the Port Mafia.

Probably because Douma was not born and raised in Yokohama, he was not familiar with the

However, Douma thought that he had known from the original story that Officer A would attack his own people sooner or later, but he did not pay special attention to his movements, so he could not say any words of accusation. In the end, he just replied lightly: "I think he will never dare to do it again."

Listening to Douma's threatening words in a calm tone, even though Mori Ougai was not the person involved, his heart skipped a beat, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a slight joy rising up in his heart.

Although A-kun is a complete clown, if he is placed in the right place, he can also play an unexpected role. Obviously, in Mori Ogai's eyes, helping him to attract Douma's attention is the last value of A-kun as a member of the Port Mafia.

Mori Ogai followed up with, "Then I'll ask Douma-kun to keep an eye on A-kun."

Without further words, Douma understood what Moriogai meant: Executive A had been abandoned by him.

"With pleasure." The smile on Douma's face widened, and his two sharp little canine teeth flashed a chilling light: "After all, he tastes pretty good."
