Chapter 156 Conquered
Yunqi pushed the poured wine glass towards Qu Le and said, "You just woke up, let's drink less and chat."
Qu Le continued naturally without any restraint.
She is a casual person by nature, and the people in the Baiqing Society are really compatible with her personality. Apart from the fact that Chixiao doesn't like to talk much, there is nothing difficult about him getting along with others.
"Senior Sister, when did you leave Master?"
Takeshita Haru sat on the stone table and asked while throwing chocolate beans into his mouth.
Qu Le took a sip of wine, thought for a moment, and replied, "Five years ago, I don't remember the exact date, but it seemed to be summer."
"Ah?" Takeshita Haru uttered in dissatisfaction, "Then we are too unlucky. When you were talking about that time, I had just joined Master's tutelage."
Qu Le smiled casually, "Then the fact that we can still meet now is also fate, isn't it?"
Takeshita Haru raised his eyebrows, shook his head and showed a playful smile.
"Too."
Then she winked at Yunqi.
Yunqi immediately received Takeshita Haru's hint.
"Hey, Chun," he clapped his hands in mock enlightenment, "tell Miss Fox how you came to be under the Boss."
When Takeshita Haru heard this, he also clapped his hands, "Yeah, that's right!"
Then he looked at Qu Le and said, "Senior sister, guess first how I came to be under the master's command."
"I guess?" Qu Le was puzzled for a moment, then blurted out, "Isn't it just that Bai Qing went to Master to select someone, and he chose you."
Qing Shanyue's disciples were never specialized in the Thousand Machine Lock. As long as it was a powerful gang that he admired, they could select people, and if both sides agreed, they could directly join the group.
Although the fight among the thieves was brutal, it was also the last good move that the master had planned for them.
Takeshita Haru shook his head and began to keep the secret: "Yes, but not entirely."
Qu Le was even more confused: "What do you mean?"
Takeshita Haru pursed his lips and shook his head playfully, "The head of the family did choose me back then, but I didn't really want to go to the Baiqing Society."
Qu Le was a little puzzled. The Baiqing Society was extremely powerful, with its headquarters in East Asia and a lot of influence in Eastern Europe. A seat in the Baiqing Society was what many people dreamed of.
"Why don't you want to go?"
"This matter is neither long nor short."
Takeshita Haru lifted his legs onto the table, found a comfortable position to cross them, and began to tell the story of that year.
"Before I was nine, I lived an ordinary life. I was a bad kid, playing around, skipping school, fighting, and stealing."
"I have an older sister who is four years older than me. Our parents are just ordinary fishermen in a small town in Fusang.
They are all kind and honest, following me around every day to clean up the mess I make and apologize on my behalf."
Takeshita Haru supported his chin with both hands and smiled unconsciously.
"But they never scolded me or hit me. My sister likes to say: Ah Chun just likes to play, she is not a bad child.
Our family lives like this, not richly but happily and steadily.
"Until I was nine years old, the Fuso gangs engaged in a firefight over our town, and a stray bullet landed squarely in my house, killing my parents. They had just returned from three days at sea and were just about to have a good night's sleep."
"If it were just this, I would probably think it was a natural disaster or a man-made calamity, and I would be angry and hateful, but there would be nothing I could do."
Takeshita Haru paused for a moment and quietly clenched his fingertips.
“But the bosses of both sides, in order to erase the traces of this gang war, sent people to clear away the evidence.
They took my sister away.
I ran away out of pleasure and luckily avoided the disaster.
I knew my sister was still alive because I used to always get into trouble, and she would draw a symbol on the door of our house that only the two of us knew, telling me that my parents were angry and told me not to go home yet.
And that day, I saw the symbol at the door.”
Qu Le's heart skipped a beat. She knew that the person who escaped by chance was the one who suffered the most in this disaster.
"I don't know how much hush money they paid to people around town or what kind of threats they used.
They all pretended not to know me, saying they didn't know any fisherman named Takeshita, and just told me to hurry up."
"After that dreamlike day, my world collapsed and I became a homeless wanderer. I wandered for two years."
“When I was eleven, I was about to steal a wallet from an old man in a suit and tie, thinking, I can finally have a full meal.
But I didn't expect that the old man was so powerful. As soon as my hand reached his pocket, without even touching it, he asked me: Do you want my wallet?
I was so scared that I forgot to run. I thought I was doomed. If a thief like me was caught, I would be beaten to death and no one would care.
"But not only did he not beat me, he also took me shopping for clothes, took me out for dinner, listened to my story, and asked me if I was willing to go with him.
I thought he was some old pervert who liked lolis, but I agreed anyway.
Because he said he could help me find my sister."
“However, it wasn’t until I arrived at the sect that I realized that the old man wasn’t some old pervert, but the famous Divine Thief Qing Shanyue.
In this way, I stayed under my master for three years.
I also really used my master's influence to find out my sister's whereabouts."
At this point, Takeshita Haru's voice began to tremble slightly, with anger clenched between his teeth, "She was only thirteen years old at the time, and those gangs were so unscrupulous that they sold her to their subordinates' red-light district.
By the time I found out where my sister was, she had already committed suicide in that hell, unable to bear the humiliation she had endured."
Takeshita Haru supported his face with his hands and calmed the emotions that were about to surge up.
"I hate Fuso's power to the core. I want to go to Europe, at least not in East Asia. I must take revenge."
“So I refused to be the head of the family without a second thought.
The boss didn't say much, but just left.
I was also thankful that he didn't bother me too much. After all, I still needed Master's protection at the time, and I didn't want to cause him too much trouble."
“But I didn’t expect that the head of the family would come again three days later. When he came to see me for the second time, he brought two men with him.
Chixiao tied up the two middle-aged men and threw them in front of me.
I was still wondering when the head of the family spoke:
"You want revenge, don't you? I'll give you a chance," he said, throwing me a pistol, "let me see your determination to take revenge."
"I was completely stunned. I don't even know how the boss managed it. It happened so many years ago, and it was just a stray bullet dropped in an insignificant town that no one cared about. Not only was he able to find out everything, but he also managed to make those two gang bosses kneel before me, giving me the opportunity to personally finish them off."
Takeshita Haru looked up at the moon.
"My hatred had already reached its peak during the days and nights of suffering. At that time, I didn't even know how to use a gun, but I didn't hesitate at all. I picked up the gun and raised it towards the two men.
I cried as I pulled the trigger, again and again, until I had emptied the bullets and the two men died in a pool of blood with their eyes open.
But I couldn't control my shaking hands, and I kept pressing the gun, which had already been empty, and tears kept flowing down my face.
"Then, the head of the family took the gun from my hand, stretched out his hand to me with tearful eyes, and smiled at me gently: Let's go, Chun."
"At that moment, the Yama Luo that everyone saw became my god and Buddha, saving me from all suffering and illuminating the emptiness of the five aggregates."
"From that day on, I decided to follow the headmaster for the rest of my life."
Qu Le looked at Takeshita Haru's pious profile and was a little absent-minded.
She just stared blankly, not knowing whether she was looking at Takeshita Haru or the man in her heart.
Takeshita Haru looked at the confused Qu Le, pursed his cat lips, smiled with two playful little fangs showing, showed the chocolate in his palm, and handed it to her.
"When the head of the family faces someone he recognizes, he will definitely give his all. Similarly, the person recognized by the head of the family will definitely be impressed by him."
