Chapter 272



Originally, Izawa Sugi wanted to gamble until Hashirama Senju went bankrupt, but after hearing what Hashirama Senju said, he had an idea.

Looking for trouble with Senju Hashirama and looking for Senju Hashirama, are these two different options?

Ize Shan's eyes flickered slightly, and after making a very subtle eyelid twitch, he smiled naturally and said, "What do you think?"

Senju Hashirama saw this look.

He suddenly burst into laughter and patted Izawa Sugi on the shoulder: "So it's a friend who wants to play with me. What a fun surprise!"

"I, Malika, am a person who likes to make friends!" Senju Hashirama loosened his grip on Izawa Sugi's hand and put his arm around Izawa Sugi's shoulders. "From today on, you are my friend. Come, I'll buy you a drink!"

Ize Shan lowered his eyes first, then smiled, looking familiar.

"Then I'll have to open a few more bottles of your good wine."

Izawa Sugi completely ignored the chips at his feet and naturally followed Senju Hashirama out of the casino hall.

Everyone who saw this scene thought that Ize Sugi was indeed someone the casino owner knew, and that this was just a prank between friends. For a moment, the casino lobby returned to its previous bustling atmosphere.

Senju Hashirama pulled Izawa Sugi into a closed and quiet box at the back of the casino.

He dismissed the waiter, took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet next to him, and poured two glasses for Ize Shan and himself. After handing the glass to Ize Shan, he sat on the sofa diagonally opposite Ize Shan with a distressed look on his face.

"I knew that once the news of that thing got out, I would be in trouble here."

Ize Shan answered without a single mistake: "You have never been at peace here."

Senju Hashirama laughed: "I heard that the hunter bosses in the association are all arrogant guys, or some idiots with an over-the-top sense of justice. I didn't expect that someone as experienced as you would come. It's really surprising."

Izawa Sugi's mind raced. Could it be that before the association sent hunters to investigate, there were already hunters coming to investigate? But there was no relevant information from within the association.

"I'm not a hunter." Ize Shan deliberately emphasized.

"I understand. I don't care who's behind you. As long as you can handle the current trouble, that's all." Senju Hashirama acted like a real casino owner. He pulled out a file bag from the coffee table under the table in front of him and handed it to Izawa Sugi. "I've already prepared everything."

Izawa Sugi took the briefcase, opened it in front of Hashirama Senju, and looked through the documents inside.

The top one is a summary of intelligence, and below it are the original intelligence documents.

It seems that Senju Hashirama, no, the casino owner who controls the underground intelligence flow in this town, had long guessed that someone would come to investigate.

So the question is, what is the [target] of the investigation? Is it the real culprit that caused the black fog to break out in the town and everyone died?

Izawa Sugi asked as he read it quickly.

"How is the situation going recently? Can you still control it?"

Senju Hashirama took a puff of his cigar, looking very embarrassed: "It's a bit troublesome. I don't know what the mining company is thinking. There was such a serious accident in the mine, but they are still urging the workers to go to work."

"Workers' representatives refused to work and started a strike. The police station in the town has been conducting searches every day recently. My business has been affected. The mayor has recently convened representatives from various industries and people from the government department. They seem to be preparing to draft a bill to prohibit strikes. The residents in the town are very restless."

"Not to mention the many gold diggers and human traffickers who are coming here like rats, spreading intelligence all over the place."

Senju Hashirama threw the cigar butt in his mouth into the trash can. He approached Izawa Sugi, as if he wanted to find out some information.

"So, what did old Peake find in his mines?"

Ize Shan is very fast and he has finished reading the document.

"Some dead stuff."

As mentioned before, the town of Tate was able to develop entirely due to the discovery of mineral veins in the nearby mountains. Mining companies mined minerals here, and the miners' families, gold diggers, and merchants who purchased minerals and sold daily necessities gathered here to form this town.

The population ratio in the town was seriously unbalanced, so it was natural for traffickers to come here to do business. Later, some people who were wanted or had caused trouble also came here to avoid being hunted down. The town of Tate became a place where all kinds of people mixed together and full of martial virtues.

Even ordinary residents, and even dogs kept by residents, know how to use their paws to pull the trigger and hit people.

Life was going on normally, but last month, a major accident suddenly occurred at the mining company that contracted the mine. It was said that more than a dozen people were trapped in the mine. Later, the company sent people to rescue the workers trapped below, but they encountered a mine house collapse, and more than a dozen people were trapped.

Now no one is talking about rescue, and the mining company plans to keep the matter vague and resume mining after the storm has died down.

The miners' families were naturally unhappy, and the miners themselves were also dissatisfied. They demanded that the company strengthen safety measures and pay huge compensation.

The miners went on strike and stopped production, and the company was unable to complete its contract orders with other companies. For a time, the two sides were completely at odds with each other, and even the mayor's efforts to mediate were useless.

But according to the information provided by the owner of the Wild Cat Bar, the so-called accident was completely false. The real reason was that miners dug up something incredible inside, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, the owner of the mining company directly killed all the people working on the scene.

However, some people escaped and the news leaked out. In order to keep the news secret, the boss of the mining company had to pretend to send people to rescue his employees.

They wanted to take this opportunity to catch the person who had escaped secretly, but after a fight, the person who had escaped was killed by them, and the thing was not found either.

Izawa Shan shook the information in his hand and said, "Since such an incredible thing was dug out, I think there is more than just this one."

It seems that there is a relic in the nearby mine. There are not only a large number of cultural relics in it, but also thoughts left by dead people. Dead thoughts are the most troublesome and difficult to deal with. Even a thought remover cannot completely eliminate dead thoughts.

"Haha, everyone thinks so, so there will be a lot of outsiders coming here to pan for gold recently."

The more the casino owner played by Senju Hashirama looked at Izawa Sugi's cheek, the more familiar it seemed to him, and a feeling of familiarity and closeness even slowly arose in his heart.

This was a sign that his memory was beginning to return.

So, based on this familiarity, Hashirama Senju revealed a piece of news to Izawa Sugi.

"You are the third person to come to me for information."

Izawa Sugi took note of this incident, put the information away and returned it to Senju Hashirama.

"Are you not interested in that baby?"

Senju Hashirama said nonchalantly, "I am only interested in winning or losing in the casino. It feels so good to leave everything to fate. The banker takes all! I have never felt so happy before!"

After he said this, a hint of doubt flashed across his face.

Wait, he is the owner of the casino, doesn’t it mean that the banker always takes all?

Izawa Sugi remained silent.

Well, although Hashirama Senju always loses at the gambling table, he has always been the protagonist on the stage of life and always gets what he wants.

Forget it, Izawa Sugi thought considerately, since Hashirama Senju wants to experience the feeling of winning money for the first time, let him have fun.

And as the owner of a casino, Hashirama Senju can continue to provide him with intelligence.

So Ize Shan said: "I see, the casino is making money every day, so you really don't need to look for any treasures. Maintaining the status quo is the best choice for you."

Senju Hashirama had a look on his face that said, "You really understand me, kid." He rubbed his hands and was in a very good mood. "That's right. I see that you have a pretty face and we are very compatible. I feel like I have known you for a long time."

Ize Shan laughed: "Really? I think so too."

Senju Hashirama was delighted: "In that case, come on, let's not go home until we are drunk tonight."

Izawa Sugi used his eloquent tongue to stuff a bottle of wine, a bottle of vodka and a bottle of whiskey into Hashirama Senju's mouth and successfully got him drunk.

"Tsk, if this was his body, it would be almost impossible to get him this drunk."

It is absolutely impossible for an immortal body to get drunk.

Izawa Shan placed the drunken Senju Hashirama on the sofa in the room. After making sure there were no surveillance cameras around, he whispered to Kirshtalia, "How is it? Did you find any relevant information?"

Kirshtalia compared the information in the association and shook his head: "No, there is no record in the association. I'm afraid it was some hunters acting alone."

Hunters will not report in the early stages of exploring ruins. They will investigate, explore, research and call on partners on their own. Only after the ruins are cleared will they say hello to the association: Come and do the post-cleaning and protection work for the ruins.

Kirschtalia continued: "After the incident in Tate, the association called two hunters who were operating nearby to investigate. Based on their interpersonal communication records before their death and the list of hunters who later disappeared, we screened out several names that might be investigated."

"But to be honest, many hunters don't even have a license, so the list cannot be guaranteed to be authentic."

Ize Shan said, "Don't bother. Check whether the two dead hunters have any connections with people in Tate Town, especially the boss of the mining company, the mayor, the police station, and some famous people."

"Nen users are not common people in the wild. They can be known by just anyone. Only those who have a certain social status and are well-informed would have vaguely heard of the existence of hunters."

Izawa Shan quickly grasped the key point, "I need to find the client who commissioned the hunter to come here to investigate first."

Kirshtalia asked the staff around him to investigate, and he said to Izawa Sugi, "No, you need to find a master first, otherwise you will come back to me at any time."

Izawa Sugi was silent.

Yes, his contract fell on Kirshtalia.

Although he has been transferred to thirty years ago by the spirit particle, the two sides are in constant communication, and the power to maintain the communication is still provided by Izawa Sugi himself. After a long time, he will probably be summoned back naturally.

Izawa Sugi got tangled up.

Senju Hashirama has become addicted to being a casino owner. Izawa Sugi does not want to sign a contract with him now, otherwise he will most likely be asked by Senju Hashirama to develop new casino features during the most critical days at the beginning of the operation.

Although he did open casinos all over the Fairy Kingdom and did develop many new tricks...

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Boss, there's a disturbance upstairs in the bar!"

A light bulb popped up on Ize Sugi's head.

By the way, in addition to the candidates who traveled through time and space through consciousness, there were also a few who traveled through time and space through bodies. Generally, when they came to a strange city and wanted to obtain intelligence, they would definitely go to places like bars.

Isn't that what fantasy adventure stories say?

Izawa Sugi shook himself and transformed himself into the appearance of Senju Hashirama.

He opened the door: "Oh? I'll go check it out."
