Chapter 14 The First Player

Xi Hai Qing Dou thought that his attitude was extremely friendly and cordial, but the two men both had terrified looks in their eyes, as if they had seen some evil ghost from hell, and they trembled even more violently.

"We are from GSS. If you kill us, our boss will not let you go!"

The first person to speak was the man who was not shot. He had three white eyes, a shrewd face, and a strong body. His voice was hoarse, and he forced out a ferocious tone.

Of course, if he had not been forced to fall to the ground and curl up into a ball while speaking, his body still shaking uncontrollably, these words would have sounded somewhat believable.

GSS Tactical Squad, full name Gerhard Security Service, was originally a formal security company with foreign investment, but after a funding shortage, it gradually abandoned itself and became one of the illegal civil organizations in Yokohama. [1] Rumor has it that its size can compete with the port mafia.

"GSS..." Xi Haiqingdou couldn't help laughing: "Really, do I look like a fool who is easy to deceive? Remember not to blink when you tell a lie."

"We're still in the car, so it's not a good idea to make any big noise. Let's just be quiet."

He smiled and sighed, then said calmly, "His companion was shot in the right arm? Then, Scotland, can you please disable his entire left hand? This way, the two of them can continue to be companions. By the way, please make it a little cleaner. This car is already dirty, and I don't want it to get any dirtier."

"Got it." Zhufu Jingguang responded calmly.

He bent down slightly, first dislodging the man's jaw, then twisted the gun handle half a circle in his hand, ignoring the man's resistance to restrain him, and then violently smashed most of the phalanges, metacarpals and wrist bones of his left hand in order of joints. His movements were smooth and fluent, like flowing clouds and water, without any hesitation.

Seeing the man rolling around in the car in a cold sweat and tears in pain, but unable to make any sound because his jaw was removed, and looking at the gloomy and cold expression of Morobushi Kagemitsu next to him, who seemed completely indifferent, Asahina Kazuma couldn't help swallowing slightly, and silently looked away as if she couldn't bear to watch.

This was too cruel... If she didn't know for sure that Morobushi Kagemitsu was an undercover police agent, definitely on the red side, based on his skill and calm expression when he attacked, Asahina Kazuma would definitely regard him as a full-fledged member of the organization.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel pain in his lungs.

The phone rang suddenly. It was a strange call without any note. Xi Hai Qing Dou lowered his eyes to take a look, and then hung up without hesitation.

No longer looking at the man wailing on the ground, Xi Haiqing Dou looked at the other man and smiled gently and politely: "Well, sir, can you tell me the correct answer? I don't mind leaving only one person alive in the end."

The young man with long, soft white hair had a pale and handsome face. A faint smile hung on his face like a mask, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all.

The moment he looked into his eyes, Maruno Shunta couldn't help but shiver.

He immediately betrayed his other companion without hesitation, his voice as thin as a mosquito: "We are actually from the Takase Society... My name is Maruno Shunta, I'm just an ordinary member, but my brother is a small captain in the Takase Society, and I just received a temporary order today. The superiors only told me to follow you secretly to investigate your whereabouts..."

As he spoke, Maruno couldn't help crying out loud, "...Even the car model and license plate number were told to me by the superiors. We really didn't intend to do anything unnecessary! Don't kill me!"

Maruno Shunta felt that he had been extremely unlucky these days.

First, when I got up early the day before yesterday and went out, I ran into two mixed-hair wild cats with golden eyes, lying sickly at the entrance of a narrow and dark alley.

The two cats were not afraid of him, and were even more wild and ferocious. He took a few steps forward, but not only did he fail to scare the cats away, but was instead pawed by one of the cats, leaving several bloody streaks on his right hand.

Maruno Shunta suddenly felt unlucky and started to curse at the two cats and spat on the ground. He went to the hospital to get two injections that day and spent half of the money he had saved.

On the way home in the evening, someone was hanging out clothes to dry when a half-wet dark green jacket fell from the sky and landed on him, making him feel even more frightened for no reason.

Yesterday at noon, I went out to collect rent and encountered a host shop that was unwilling to pay rent. It also shouted that it was now under the control of the Hong Kong mafia and had nothing to do with them, the Takase Society. As the argument went on, Maruno Shunta got angry, and while arguing with the store manager, his brother accidentally broke a mirror.

Before he could figure out whether he had attracted some dirty tricks recently, he received a call from his brother Maruno Ryota in the afternoon, asking him to follow a few unidentified people from other places early the next morning.

As soon as his brother finished speaking, Maruno Shunta looked at the time. It was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.

People in their line of work are more or less wary of these things. Maruno Shunta is a person who believes in superstitious things. He was not happy to take on this task and said to his brother on the phone with a sad face, "Brother, why don't you ask someone else to do this? I suspect I have been having some bad luck recently. I want to go to a shrine tomorrow to pray. There is a shrine called Higashi (Eastern) Shrine in Ito. It is said that there is a sacred tree there that has been growing for nearly a thousand years and is quite powerful. I want to go there tomorrow to pray for protection."[2]

"I don't care whether you go to the Eastern Shrine or the Western Shrine. Can't you find time to go there in two days? Why do you have to wait until tomorrow?" Maruno Ryota's impatient voice came from the other end of the phone, with a bit of toughness that could not be refused. "This mission is not difficult. I brought it here specially for you. If you complete it, maybe I can promote you to a small team leader in a while, so that you don't have to stay at the bottom like now, doing nothing but fighting for nothing."

"...Oh, okay, I got it. I'll go again in two days." Maruno Shunta responded weakly twice, and heard his brother hang up the phone instantly.

Maruno Shunta was raised by his brother since he was a child. To him, Maruno Ryota is more like a strict father than an older brother. Normally, he dares not disobey what he says.

Not long after the afternoon, he received a task message from someone his brother had sent him.

The target of the mission had no name or photo. The person who delivered the message to him only told him that the other party was a long-haired man with white hair, golden eyes, and a black coat. He was very easy to recognize.

Maruno Shunta thought that was not necessarily true... black jackets were so common in Yokohama that if you threw a brick onto the street in Yokohama, five out of ten people might be wearing black jackets.

However, the man added that the car the other person was riding in was easier to identify, it was a black Mercedes-Benz 560SEL AMG, and the license plate number was Shinjuku 300は19-91.

If the person cannot be found, or the person and the car are not together, then Maruno Shunta's first goal is to follow the car closely, being careful not to be discovered by the other party and not to do anything unnecessary.

Maruno Shunta nodded obediently.

It was around five in the morning the next day when he received the notice... Maruno Shunta was still asleep when he was woken up by a phone call. He got up from the bed in a daze, packed himself up a little, and set off. On the way, he saw that it was almost dawn.

He was assigned a partner for this mission, named Ono Daisuke, who was said to be his brother's former subordinate. He was more cautious and alert in his work, and was specifically there to look after him.

Ono Daisuke had a pair of white eyes with three white spots, a scar about ten centimeters long on the right corner of his eye that spread to his ear, a ferocious face, and a strong body. Maruno Shunta noticed that he had a broken little finger on his right hand, and he looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

Ono Daisuke is not a talkative person, but fortunately he does not have any unnecessary curiosity. He drives when the other party tells him to drive, and stops when the other party tells him to stop. All the way, he just obediently follows the black Mercedes mentioned in the mission.

However, as he drove, he felt that something was not right.

"Um... Lord Ono, is the car next to us following us?" He turned his head to look at the white Nissan behind him and asked hesitantly.

Ono Daisuke frowned and replied impatiently: "Don't worry about them, just let them follow. Just drive your car."

"Okay, all right."

Maruno Shunta continued driving, and fortunately after a while, the Nissan disappeared by itself. What happened next was just like a dream to him.

Just as he followed the Mercedes-Benz and turned an ordinary three-way street, before he could find the other party's trace, he was suddenly attacked by gunfire - the two cars they were driving were not equipped with bulletproof glass, and the bullet spun through the window and hit his right arm directly. In pain, Maruno Shunta turned the steering wheel, and the car crashed into the street - the tire was also blown out.

Then two men with guns got out of the car they had been following. They looked ferocious and knocked Ono down in a few moves. Then they tied them up in the car.

It was not until Saikai Haruto's gaze turned towards him that he shuddered and realized that he was not dreaming. Then, under the other's gaze, he told him everything he knew - after all, he was just an ordinary grassroots person. What he usually did was just to find people to collect rent, fight with street thugs, follow people and so on. Most of the people he came into contact with were ordinary people. When he encountered danger, he was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He had never seen such a deadly posture. Most of the gang confrontations in Yokohama were as far away as the sky for him.

He thought wildly, maybe he knew why the person who issued the mission said that the white-haired man in front of him was easy to recognize - Maruno Shunta had never seen anyone like him before, his face was pale as if he had been ill for a long time, but his eyes were as bright as a sword, sharp and cold, without any emotion. When those golden eyes looked at him, it seemed to have some kind of fascinating magic, able to see through all the secrets, making people unconsciously feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.

It's like the look of a devil.

The Takase-kai is also one of the illegal organizations in Yokohama. Among the larger extremist organizations in Yokohama, the Port Mafia, GSS, and the Takase-kai are all well-known.

"Takase would... Then the other car is most likely from GSS, right?"

Fortunately, what he said seemed to provide some useful information and had some effect. The white-haired devil finally looked away as if giving alms.

"Yes, yes." Maruno Shunta panted heavily.

"Why is it from GSS?" Asahina Kazuma looked puzzled, "Isn't that car with them?"

"Let's not talk about the simplest model issue. We were separated from that car for so long. Did you see them chasing us?"

Xi Haiqingdou tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers and explained to him patiently, "If they are all from the same organization, there is no reason why they can't catch up. A pursuer may lose the target, but it is impossible to lose the trace of his companions. This is a taboo in any organization - of course, our situation with Bourbon today is an exception.

If you noticed the distance between the three cars, you would have noticed that the distance between the Nissan and us was sometimes far away and sometimes close, but the distance between the Nissan and the Honda did not change much. Rather than saying that the Nissan was following us, it would be better to say that they were following them from the beginning. It is very likely that they led the car here. "

Asahina Kazuma fell into deep thought.

Nishimi Haruto looked past Maruno and towards Ono, and without waiting for his answer, he continued, "His companion, when this guy mentioned GSS just now, his eyes were wide open, but his gaze was wandering, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his body was tense, and he was a little too emotional.

It was obvious that he was lying, but he seemed very confident in his lies. He wanted to disguise them as GSS members, so he needed some evidence. It didn't need to be much, just a little bit of relevant information would be enough, such as the white Nissan, and the people sitting inside were indeed GSS members.

Looking at Maruno who was still trembling in confusion, Saikai Haruto lightly turned his gaze away from him and looked at Morobushi Keimitsu, with a smile on his face deepening: "Scotland, tell me, why are they so confident that this lie will not be exposed?"

"Why, why?" Asahina Kazuma asked blankly.

No wonder Cointreau only allowed Vodka to leave one car behind just now... Could it be that he already felt something was wrong at that time?

Zhu Fu Jingguang's throat moved slightly, his eyes were calm and composed, and he tried not to reveal any flaws in his emotions: "Because they know that we are not a local force in Yokohama, but outsiders."

Xi Haiqingdou narrowed his eyes and affirmed his words: "Scotland, you are right."

——The difference between the local forces of Yokohama and GSS and Takasekai can be clearly seen, but they are outsiders and have been in Yokohama for less than a week. No matter whether it is Takasekai or GSS, as long as the person who is planning it is determined, they can be completely confused about who is who.

Unfortunately, Saikai Haruto is not a fool either, and his understanding of Yokohama is far beyond what the people behind him think.

And... Nishimi Haruto looked down at Maruno and the others with a strange expression. That guy probably didn't expect that the people sent by Takase to follow them would be so useless.

"Wait, why do they know?" Asahina Kazuma looked at Morofushi Kagemitsu and then at Saikai Haruto, and suddenly felt that he was somewhat out of place.

Why do they both seem to know everything, but why does he feel like he knows nothing? Didn't they come here together?

"Yeah, why? That's a really good question." Xi Haiqingtou pouted his palate with his tongue, revealing a brilliant smile, "You used the information gap to create such a good show, are you trying to muddy the waters and fish? It's getting a little interesting, it really makes me curious."
