Let things escalate a bit.
Just as the three of them left the private room and arrived at the front desk, Atsushi Nakajima walked ahead, clutching his wallet tightly in both hands, his face ashen.
Just a few minutes ago, the waiter brought in the already packaged dishes, and the naive Nakajima Atsushi even asked, "What is this?"
When he learned that the food was for takeout, he was stunned as if struck by lightning. Chuuya almost burst out laughing. It's so funny to tease kids.
It wasn't until he arrived at the front desk and heard that the bill had already been settled, and saw the astonished look on Atsushi Nakajima's face, that Chuuya finally laughed out loud.
This is the moment we've been waiting for!
[Feels good]
"Mr. Zhongyuan?!"
"How could I let you treat me? I don't need that little bit of money. I'm leaving."
"Mr. Chuuya is such a good person, no wonder he's from a big city. Atsushi-kun, aren't you leaving?"
As Atsushi Nakajima clutched his wallet, which he had lost but had now recovered, a single, glistening tear rolled down his cheek.
"Mr. Zhongyuan is such a good person!"
[Two Little Fanboys]
[Xiao Zhong is a boy from Xiti]
The last vestige of conscience in the Mafia
[This is hilarious! Although Xiao Zhong is absolutely amazing, do you two even remember that this guy is a member of the Mafia? It's strangely funny.]
What an innocent kid! But I'm not a jerk like Dazai. Thinking about the little surprise I prepared for my former partner, Chuuya couldn't stop smiling. It's a bit of a shame that he can't see it directly, but it's not bad to watch it through the live chat.
We're back!
Kenji pushed open the door with the packaged food in his hand and shouted happily.
"You guys went out to buy things?"
Kunikida looked up from his computer, glanced at it, and casually replied.
"Didn't Dunjun say he was going to treat people to dinner, and that he even got an advance on his salary because he didn't have enough money?"
Dazai, who looked unusually busy at work, peeked out from the side and narrowed his eyes when he saw the logo on Kenji's packaging. This place is not cheap.
"I know this place, it's really expensive, your combined salaries probably wouldn't be enough, right?"
Yosano walked over from the side and asked curiously.
Ranpo had already accurately located the bag containing the dessert cake, and while eating the cake, he mumbled incoherently.
"Because it was kind-hearted Mr. Hat who paid for it."
"Mr. Ranpo is really amazing. I originally wanted to treat Mr. Nakahara to dinner, but in the end, he paid for it. I feel so bad."
Ranpo: "But Hat-kun originally wanted to treat you to dinner, it just happened to be a coincidence."
"Is that so? It's a pity you didn't get to eat at Chuuya's place. That shorty is quite rich; this meal probably didn't even cost as much as a single bottle of wine in his cellar."
Upon hearing someone's name, Dazai also came over. Combined with the information from Atsushi earlier, he had roughly figured out the situation.
Atsushi Nakajima: "Mr. Chuuya is a very nice person. He packed these for us."
"Mr. Chuuya is indeed a city dweller. Speaking of which, Mr. Dazai really knows Mr. Chuuya very well!"
Oh, right, I remember Dazai-san really liked canned crab. Chuuya-san even asked for a whole crab when he got his takeout. You two have such a good relationship!
Kenji slapped his palm as if he had suddenly realized something, and said with a start.
"Tch, who wants to be on good terms with that short, dark-skinned guy?"
Despite saying that, Dazai still honestly reached for the box containing the crabs, and it was obvious to everyone that he was in a very good mood.
[Every sentence seems to be about Zhong Ye, what a subtle thought!]
Eat up, eat up! Zhongye has prepared a surprise for you, her former partner, in advance.
[You're all talk and no action, but the good stuff is yet to come.]
On the other side of the patrol route, Chuuya couldn't help but reveal a smile of anticipation as he saw this.
Dazai skillfully pried open a crab leg, dipped it in the "heart" dipping sauce that Chuuya had specially prepared, and stuffed it into his mouth without any warning.
Ranpo, who was still eating dessert next to him, narrowed his eyes, took a big step back and turned his head away. Although Dazai was a colleague, the person opposite him was the kind-hearted Hat-kun.
Sure enough, just as Dazai put the crab meat in his mouth, the smug look on his face hadn't even faded when a surge of energy rushed straight to the top of his head, causing his entire body to stiffen and his eyes to turn bloodshot.
"Oh, right! Mr. Chuuya specifically asked the waitress to add extra wasabi. She told me it's very spicy, so can Mr. Dazai eat it?"
Seeing Dazai put the crab leg directly into his mouth, Kenji belatedly realized what had happened.
A few barely suppressed laughs came from the side, but when Dazai slowly shifted his gaze, he suddenly became very busy, and also had a cold, coughing incessantly.
[That's well said, baby, but your Dazai-san seems a bit too much.]
I don't know, but I heard that this gentleman can eat anything that was given to him by a man with orange hair.
[One bite and you're in heaven! I saw Chuuya squeeze in a lot more wasabi after he finished instructing the waiter.]
This bite is overflowing with Chuuya's love for Dazai!
Ranpo Neko once again disregarded his colleagues' affection and steadfastly protected Chuuya's prank.
Hahahaha!
On the other end, Chuuya was laughing so hard he almost cried. Although he couldn't see the guy's embarrassed face, he could already imagine how silly the guy would look.
"Kenji, you can tell me about this earlier next time."
Dazai looked at Kenji weakly as he drank water, his whole demeanor somewhat listless from that mouthful of wasabi.
Although that mouthful of wasabi was already deadly, what was even more deadly was that Chuuya, that little dwarf, had actually managed to outwit him. That was what truly made Dazai dejected. Just thinking about Chuuya secretly laughing in some corner made Dazai grind his back teeth.
"Oh! I'll get it next time. By the way, Mr. Dazai, are you still going to eat this crab?"
"Of course I'll eat it!"
Kenji scratched his head sheepishly. Hearing Kenji's words, Dazai let out a soft sigh, picked up the crab box on the table, turned around and went back to his workstation. While picking up the box, he "accidentally" knocked the box of wasabi soy sauce into the trash can.
Atsushi Nakajima witnessed all of this. Dazai-san really does become quite childish and immature when it comes to Chuuya-san. However, Chuuya-san seems to be the same way, getting angry whenever Dazai-san is mentioned. It's quite a coincidence.
What a beautiful day!
Chuuya stretched and prepared to continue his patrol, but was bumped by a chubby figure at the corner. Chuuya was pushed a few steps after being bumped, and an apology came from not far away.
Naka cursed under his breath, but considering that the other person seemed to be in a hurry and apologized, and that he was in a good mood today, Naka didn't pursue the matter further.
"But why does it always happen when I turn a corner? Is it just such a coincidence?"
Chuuya thought this in his heart and said it aloud, shaking his head. He was really having a really bad day.
[The Bond Between the Small Center and the Corner]
[How did Chuuya get his hand injured? It's still bleeding.]
Chuuya habitually glanced at the comments. Apart from those who were laughing at him, he immediately saw comments saying that he was injured.
Chuuya raised his hand, not knowing when he had been injured. His entire palm was scratched, and his glove was also torn. Was he really that unlucky?
But the next second, everything went black before my eyes, and I plummeted straight to the ground.
【Oh, that damned Pushkin!】
[I finally remember! It's Nakaya this time? The story can't continue without banning Nakaya, right?]
A man in a suit and a woman carrying a notebook walked over from a short distance away.
"Ah! Lord Francis, isn't this the gravity-manipulating officer from the organization? What's he doing lying here?"
"Luisa, although we have received investment from the Mafia, we only need to send them our annual dividends. We are allies with the Mafia, not part of them."
"Regardless, let's get this guy to the Mafia first. After all, he's an ally who invested in us, and this kid saved my life back then."
"Yes, Lord Francis, this man only has a visible wound on his left hand, but he is unconscious."
"good."
Francis avoided Chuuya's injured left hand, hoisted Chuuya onto his shoulder, and quickly approached the Black Hand Building, with Louisa jogging behind him.
"We've brought him here. He collapsed at an intersection. We found him on the way. He only has a visible wound on his left hand. He's completely unconscious. We don't know what caused it."
"Thank you all so much this time."
Mori Ougai and Francis stood at the door of the medical room, looking at the red light. Mori Ougai's eyes were gloomy, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
"But why do you seem so unconcerned?"
"You're wrong. Anyone who dares to scheme against the Mafia should be prepared to be purged. After all, the Mafia is extremely protective of its own and they all care a lot about their reputation."
After saying this, Mori Ougai turned on his phone and pressed a button. Immediately, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the Mafia building, and a large number of people appeared and surrounded Francis and Louisa.
"Although I know it wasn't you two who did it, I'd like to ask you both to stay with the Mafia for a few more days before this matter is resolved. I apologize for being so impolite, allies, but I think you can understand, right?"
After saying this, Mori Ougai stared straight at Francis, who helplessly raised his hand under Mori's gaze, while Louisa shrank behind Francis.
"Although I had already anticipated this outcome when I sent the person over, it's still really uncomfortable to be surrounded like this."
"Send the two of you to the reception room for a couple of days to rest."
After saying this, Mori Ougai waved, turned and left. The crowd dispersed, leaving only two people to guide the two to the reception room.
"That's the gist of it. Let's keep the news under wraps and wait for the doctor's report, Hongye."
Mori Ougai looked at the intelligence report in his hand with a heavy expression, while Momiji beside him also had an unusually serious and sharp expression.
"Then I'll go and keep watch over Chuuya. I believe the leader will be able to resolve this matter soon."
"There's no need to worry about this. After all, it's Chuuya-kun who's injured. Should we talk to Dazai-kun about it?"
"Indeed, it is up to you, Chief, to make the decision."
Hongye paused for a moment, then said softly, her words consisting entirely of declarative statements, showing no concern that the matter could not be resolved.
In the end, Mori Ōgai was left alone sitting at his desk, lost in thought.
The doctor's report later showed that there was a wound on his hand, but as the group leader had said, there were no wounds on his body. However, he remained unconscious, and Hongye stayed by his side in the ward without leaving for a moment.
As the sun set, under the watchful eyes of the red leaves, a huge blood-red magic circle phantom appeared on Zhongye's body, finally stopping on the back of his hand.
After receiving the news, Mori Ougai quickly arrived at the ward, pondered for a long time, glanced at the latest information he received on his phone, and finally spoke slowly.
"The detective agency president is also unconscious. Why not let this matter escalate further? Release the news now that the mafia boss was attacked by an unknown person and is now unconscious. No matter who is behind it, they will definitely take action in the end."
Mori Ougai curled the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were sharp and cold, and his words sent chills down one's spine.
"Is that so? But leaving me alone to defend is quite a clever plan, Chief."
"Thank you for your hard work, Hongye. I've always believed in you."
"Since the leader trusts me so much, then I'll take this opportunity to make my move."
Hongye opened her fan to cover the lower half of her face, revealing a pair of eyes that were both dangerous and captivating.
