"Hehe, it's alright. Little Scorpion's place isn't far from here. Let's go." After Angel finished speaking, she tightened her collar and walked into the heavy rain. Li Jia followed her into the rain.
On the outskirts of Baghdad, Angel led Li Jia on a long tour, and then, in front of a war-abandoned train station, she asked, "Here?"
"Where else could it be?" Angel smiled as she walked into the abandoned station. She walked along the abandoned railway tracks for a while, and ahead was a destroyed bridge. The Tigris River was churning. Angel climbed down the long-abandoned railway bridge. When Li Jia followed her down into the bridge arch, Li Jia nodded slightly. "This place really is a good hiding place. I wonder if Little Scorpion will be willing to leave here."
"Hehe, I'll definitely leave. Whether I'm willing to leave or not is another matter!" After Angel finished speaking, she reached out and knocked on the broken iron door in front of her. Three long knocks, two short knocks, and one heavy knock came.
With a clatter, the iron gate opened, revealing a disheveled man. His sparse stubble told Li Jia that he hadn't washed his face for many days; his filthy face was covered in gasoline stains, and he was wearing a thick denim jacket. The greasy clothes emitted an unpleasant odor, and he held a nearly finished dagger in his dirty hands. His red eyes were fixed on Angel and Li Feng, who were standing in front of the door.
"Splash! Thump!" When he saw Li Jia's eyes, which held a faint smile, beneath her wet hair, he immediately pushed open the iron gate, took a few steps to Li Jia, and knelt down on the ground with a thud. "Master! Is it really you?"
"Get up, little scorpion. This doesn't look like you. What's wrong? Tell me." Li Jia asked, somewhat puzzled, as she looked at her most prized disciple in this state.
When the person in front of her slowly explained the reason why he had become like this, Li Jia's nose tingled with emotion. It turned out that this person was called Scorpion, the eldest of Li Jia's seven apprentices and Li Jia's most outstanding disciple. At the same time, the two had a brotherly and fatherly relationship. A large part of the reason for this was that Scorpion was also Chinese!
Since Li Jia disappeared from the Kiss of Death a few years ago, Scorpion has been searching frantically, but after two years he has found nothing. Li Jia's disappearance was a huge blow to him, and he eventually decided that Li Jia was dead. So he drank heavily every day, and his sadness and grief disappeared. Over time, he became the way he is now.
Among Li Jia's seven apprentices, Scorpion is the eldest, but his fighting skills are the worst. However, he has an unparalleled talent: an understanding of weapons. Therefore, the weapons he modifies have increased in power and accuracy by more than one level. Although his fighting skills are not as good as his junior brothers and sisters, none of them are willing to fight him because he has an endless supply of special weapons. To give a simple example...
For example, in the midst of a chaotic battle, Scorpion would often suddenly draw his gun, but instead of bullets, he would fire poisoned steel needles. Imagine a pistol version of a barrage of needles – it's absolutely insane. That's why his fellow disciples gave him that nickname after he graduated.
After meeting Li Jia today, the flame in Scorpion's heart, which had almost been extinguished, instantly reignited, and the news Li Jia brought also excited him greatly.
Three days later, Li Jia, Angel, and the transformed Scorpion returned to Florence. Standing in front of the Dragon Dance Manor, Li Jia glanced at Scorpion and said calmly, "This will be your workplace from now on!"
"Big brother? Big brother, you're back!" Just then, Xiaoyue had already received a report that Li Jia had returned, so she came out herself.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyue? Is something the matter?" Li Jia couldn't help but ask, seeing the slight worry in Xiaoyue's smile.
"The First Elder and the Second Elder have disappeared!" Xiaoyue knew she couldn't hide it from her eldest brother, so she immediately told him the truth.
