When leaving Italy, the gang from the Hong Kong and Black Headquarters split into two groups.

The first team is Hirotsu Yanagi and others who returned to Yokohama with a signed contract. This team also included several players from Miura Masahiro and Takeuchi.

The other team is Joe Hagizawa and Chuya Nakahara who went to France.

Of course, they had to come up with a plausible reason for not returning to the headquarters to report to work immediately after completing the task in this way.

After all, Osamu Dazai didn't show any signs before he left Ganghei. He didn't come to work for some reason, and then disappeared.It was not until a week after his disappearance that Mori Ogai announced his defection according to the rules.

Therefore, in this sensitive period, it is impossible for Hagizawa Joe and Zhongyuan Zhong to openly use the slogan of vacation and play, and stay in Europe after completing the task and not return to Hong Kong and Heilongjiang.

So Hagizawa Joe pulled up a big banner—it was still pulled from Mori Ogai.

Hong Kong and Black's business and development in Europe are now very good. Recently, Hong Kong and Black's high-level executives have also begun to consider setting up a serious branch in Europe.

Since they want to set up a branch, where should this branch be set up is the first question they have to consider.

It can't have too much conflict with local Europeans with different abilities, and can't be suppressed by local forces. It can't do anything at all, and it can't directly break away from the control of Hong Kong gangsters. Then it loses the meaning of setting up a branch.

Therefore, the branch must not be established in Italy, which already has a stronghold.

Because at that time, these two places can supervise and restrain each other. If there is any change in one of them, Hong Kong gangsters can send people to suppress it after receiving news from the other.

Of course...for the time being, there is no need to consider the issue of the two uniting to rebel, because there are factions within Hong Kong and black, and if they are worried that they will join forces, then it is enough to send people from different factions there?As long as it doesn't go too far, letting them compete freely can also mobilize their work enthusiasm and even improve each other.

Although Mori Ogai did not express his intention to set up a branch in Europe with great fanfare, but the smarter ones can guess a thing or two after seeing the current development momentum of Hong Kong and Black in Europe.

In addition to what I guessed, Hagizawa Joe and Nakahara Chuya, the leader's confidantes who often go out, of course, are insiders other than the leader, and they didn't hide it. The team members under them are not stupid. I understand.

So when Hagizawa said that he and Nakahara Nakahara would also go to France for a field trip, everyone turned their heads and took it for granted that they were busy with the branch office.Because they were worried about arousing the vigilance and resistance of the local superpowers, they kept a low profile, so it was understandable not to bring other people there.

The Hong Kong black people who took the initiative to find a reason for the two did not expect that long before the silver oracle left the chief's office, Hagizawa had discussed with Mori Ogai where the branch base should be set up. It's just a pretense to go to France to spend two days in the world of two people.

As an insider, Nakahara Chuya saw the team members' expressions of "Mr. Nakaya has worked hard" and "Mr. Nakaya, please do your best", and couldn't help feeling guilty for a while.

Contrary to him, instead of feeling guilty, Hagizawa was so happy that he almost blatantly disliked their team members as super light bulbs.

Masahiro Miura: "..."

Takeuchi gave him a sympathetic look.

After being separated from the gangsters in Hong Kong, Joe Hagizawa and Nakahara Nakahara also came to the winery in northeastern France.

Although this winery is a birthday gift from Joe Hagizawa to Nakahara Chuya, but because of his busy work, this is the first time Nakahara Chuya has come here.

Needless to say, the degree of satisfaction, Hagizawa Joe chose completely according to Nakahara Chuya's taste, and made some changes in some places that were not satisfactory, and it took a lot of thought for this.

After a visit, he didn't find any dissatisfaction in Zhongyuan Zhongyuan, and everything was very appropriate.

Of course, even if the winery has some minor problems, the Central Plains Central Committee may not care about it.Because this was originally his own children's birthday wishes to him, even if it was something ordinary, it was Hagizawa Joe's heart, how could Nakahara Nakahara dislike it?

In Nakahara Nakaya’s eyes, there is nothing special about birthdays, but Joe Hagizawa said: “That’s the day when the star Nakaya fell from the sky, allowing me and the world to touch you and have you. It’s very important. It is important to celebrate with the greatest feast."

It was very nasty. At that time, Nakahara Chuya felt embarrassed when he heard it, but Hagizawa Joe was very serious, and he didn't mean to exaggerate at all.

Not only talking about it, but Hagizawa has been paying attention to Nakahara Chuya's birthday every year. Over the years, Nakahara Chuya has seen it in his eyes, and it has touched the softest part of his heart more or less.

Pulling back the wandering thoughts, Chuya Nakahara turned around and saw Joe Hagizawa grabbing the corner of his clothes, looking at him expectantly, and asked: "Brother Chuya, do you like it?"

In a daze, Zhongyuan Zhong also seemed to see the kid who just came to Yang and bought gloves for him after earning a month's salary.

Joe Hagizawa looked at him in the same way at that time, the difference is that both of them have grown up now, and their relationship is also very different from before... But the idea of ​​hoping to bring the best and most desirable things to him, is not. It never changes.

"Like it?"

Probably because Chuya Nakahara was silent for a long time, Hagizawa asked again.

This time the Central Plains was not like it was in the past, and it took a long time to speak out what was in my heart.

The smile on his face was wanton, and he said very simply: "I like it."

Hagizawa was taken aback.

Probably he didn't expect Zhong Yuanzhong to be so frank. Except for a moment of distraction at the beginning, he didn't seem to have any entanglement or hesitation in his answer this time.

Nakahara Chuya hugged Hagizawa Joe's shoulders, crumpled his head into a chicken coop, and laughed loudly: "Let's go! Let's eat!"

Hagizawa immediately came back to his senses, and happily introduced him to the chef who was dug into the manor by him.

Although the winery was finally sent out, Hagizawa still couldn't see the picture of Nakahara swimming in the red wine pool, so he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

The practice of filling the entire swimming pool with red wine seems to be a waste of money in the wine-loving Central Plains, so it is strange that he would agree to it.

But in a blink of an eye, Hagizawa Joe lowered this wish to a higher level, for example... don't fill the swimming pool, but fill the bathtub?

hiss--

This is a possibility!

But when he confided this thought, Zhong Yuanzhong, who had just come up from the swimming pool and was drinking a drink, was almost choked.

What does the stinky brat think about all day long!

Nakahara Nakaya glared at Joe Hagizawa in embarrassment, and left without looking back with the towel on.

Hagizawa smacked his lips, thinking that the road is too long.

Putting this matter aside, Hagizawa let Dian Dian follow up, saying surprisingly: "The women's clothing I ordered has been delivered, and I will wear it tonight for Chuya to see!"

Zhongyuan Zhongye stepped on the ground and almost fell headlong on the stone ladder. Fortunately, he stabilized in time with his excellent physical reflexes, and he didn't make a big fuss.

Hagizawa looked at him suspiciously: "Is Chuya so excited?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also blushed and roared: "I'm so excited!"

Hagizawa Joe: "Then why did you react so strongly? Didn't you already agree in Italy?"

Zhongyuan Zhong was also at a loss for words.

At the beginning, he thought that Joe Hagizawa just said it casually, and he even forgot about it when he turned his head.Who would have thought... Hagizawa asked this guy to still think about it, doesn't it mean that he doesn't mind wearing women's clothes at all?

"Whether you mind or not, of course it depends on the situation." Joe Hagizawa said very frankly, "If it is required by the mission or Chuya-san likes it, then I will have no problem wearing women's clothing every day."

Central Plains is also in a complicated mood.

"You..." He looked at Joe Hagizawa who was holding his arm, and sighed helplessly, "You really... make me wonder what to say."

Hagizawa said without hesitation: "Then say you like me, how simple!"

Nakahara Chuya: "..." Smelly brat, he's pretty good at seeing stitches.

Hagizawa Joe: "If you don't say anything, then let me kiss you?"

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't speak, nor did he deny it.

Doesn't that mean you agree!

Hagizawa rushed over without hesitation, and was caught by Nakahara Chuya.

He held Chuya's face in his hands, and gnawed on it unceremoniously.

"Hiss—do you really think of yourself as a dog? Just bite!"

"Wang!"

"..." Forget it, there is no cure at all.

The two stayed at the winery for almost a week, and if it wasn't for Mori Ogai's call, the two who had such a good time wouldn't even know they were going back to Yokohama.

Although his little Alice got a beautiful little dress and a pastry master again, when he saw the two subordinates who returned from vacation with ruddy faces and energetic spirit, Mori Ogai's resentment almost evaporated into a real mist.

He got up early and late to approve documents in the chief's office, and he also had to worry about the little trouble that Osamu Dazai caused him before he left.The two of them are fine, after finishing the mission, they will live a sweet and sweet world for the two of them regardless of everything...

Taking another look at the numerous documents waiting for approval on the desk, Mori Ogai sighed faintly.

He also wants to take half a day off to go shopping with little Alice...

It seemed that Mori Ogai, who had eaten hundreds of lemons, had risen from his chest, so Hagizawa Joe and Nakahara Nakaya had just returned to Yokohama, and were immediately assigned different tasks, and the two mission locations were always divergent.

Either Chuya Nakahara stayed in the headquarters to suppress the hostile organization that started to move after Osamu Dazai defected to Hong Kong gangsters, and Joe Hagizawa went abroad again to discuss business and make money for Hong Kong gangsters; or Chuya Nakahara was sent to Europe to help establish a branch of Hong Kong gangsters in Europe. In the Ministry, Hagizawa will fly to the United States, fly to South America, or just stay in Yokohama. Anyway, he will never meet the Central Plains in Europe.

After more than half a year like this, the two of them didn't even have a chance to meet each other.

Even on the day when Nakahara officially became one of the five major cadres of Hong Kong blacks, Joe Hagizawa congratulated him through transoceanic phone calls.

Is Hagizawa angry?

Of course he is angry!When I was on the phone with Zhongyuan Zhongye, I was still complaining, and even said bad things about the unscrupulous boss Dr. Black Heart, which made Zhongyuan Zhongye dumbfounded.

However, the reason why the two of them have been so busy in the past six months is actually mainly due to objective reasons, and it's not all the fault of the unscrupulous boss who turned into lemon essence.

The tasks assigned to them are indeed urgent matters that urgently need them to handle at this stage, and many of them are still the part that Osamu Dazai was in charge of.Isn't he defecting now? Didn't the work he was in charge of be thrown to Hagizawa Joe and Nakahara Nakaya?

So Hagisawa Joe just complained a few words, made complaints about Mori Ogai, who never stopped squeezing the employees, but he was not really driven crazy, and went to the leader's office regardless.

Half a year later, everything was over, and the European branch established by Hong Kong and Black was on the right track. Zhong Yuan, who was the first to complete the task, also returned to Yokohama.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived in Yokohama. After he came back, he went straight to the office of the head of the Hong Kong and Black Office Building, because there were many things to report to the branch, and he also brought a lot of affairs that needed to be handled by Mori Ogai. documents, so when he came out of the chief's office, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Nakahara, who was so sleepy, declined Mori Ogai's proposal to eat together, fell asleep on the bed when he got home, and didn't even change his clothes.

Mori Ogai gave him one day to adjust the jet lag, and he didn't have to go to work the next day. Chuya Nakahara fell asleep until [-] o'clock in the morning.

After replenishing my energy, my hungry stomach began to protest.

The house has been vacant for several months, but when they are away, there are team members to help clean up. The house will not be dusty, and the refrigerator is full.

Zhong Yuanzhong also finished his breakfast, cleaned up and sat on the sofa for a while.

Once he was free, he felt that the house was quiet and empty.

Recently, Hagizawa asked him to call him less frequently.When Zhongyuan Zhongye was still busy in Europe, he didn't have time to think about these things. Now that he is free, he wants to make a phone call and ask?

He thought that it should be night in Hagizawa in South America, but it was not time to go to bed, so he held his mobile phone for a while, and still called him.

The call was quickly connected.

Before Zhongyuan Zhongye could speak, the person opposite called out energetically: "Brother Zhongye!"

Hearing that the guy on the opposite side was so energetic, Nakahara Chuya didn't realize it himself, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

"Well, are you done with work?"

Joe Hagizawa first answered his question: "There is still a little left, but it's nothing important, just waiting for the people below to report on their work."

Without waiting for Nakahara Chuya to say anything, Hagizawa complained again and again: "Why don't you ask me about my work as soon as I come up?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also sighed, and asked him a few questions as he said.

Hagizawa said everything in detail, why did he sleep well and was not sick, and in turn asked Nakahara Nakaya how he was doing recently.

This guy can't stop talking.

Nakahara Chuya finished talking about the recent situation in a few words, and finally found a chance to ask him: "When will you come back?"

Hagizawa was so excited, he quickly asked: "Brother Chuya misses me?"

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

Hagizawa Joe didn't force him to answer this question, so he changed the subject and said, "A week if it's fast, or a month if it's slow."

Nakahara Chuya: "Is that so..."

"I'm done with things here, and I won't be on a business trip for a while." Joe Hagizawa said softly, "We'll see each other then."

Zhong Yuanzhong, who hung up the phone, also walked to the window. There was a strong wind blowing outside, and the fallen leaves were blown up all over the place.The sky was gloomy and unclear, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Zhong Yuanzhong also stretched himself, and decided to stay at home and play games today.

Stretching halfway, Zhong Yuanzhong also paused as if he suddenly remembered something.

By the way, he originally wanted to tell Joe Hagizawa about that...

Well……

Don't worry, if he doesn't have to go on a business trip, he will have to wait another month at most.

When the time comes, tell that stinky brat who looks down on people face to face, maybe you can still enjoy a good expression, right?

Thinking of this, Zhong Yuanzhong seemed to have foreseen that exciting scene, and his mood became more and more cheerful.

On the other hand, Tokyo.

Hagizawa put away the phone, changed his lively and cheerful appearance when talking with Nakahara Chuya before, his expression calmed down, walked to the bed, and silently looked at the aging person lying on the bed.

The last time I saw him was when Joe Hagizawa was five years old.

Counting his age, he was already 86 years old at that time.

But at that time, he was still in good spirits, with sharp eyes, tall and imposing figure, and he didn't have any signs of aging.

Now ten years later, this old man is about to come to the end of his life, the sun is getting thinner, and the fatigue that has never been shown in front of others is showing, and the wrinkles on his face seem to be a little more.

Hagizawa just sat on the accompanying chair by the bed, closed his eyes and meditated, and then opened his eyes.

"It sounds like you have a good relationship."

Hagizawa let his voice down and said, "We are together."

Guochang Lu Dajue was silent for a while, thought of something, sighed and said, "It's pretty good."

The conversation came to an abrupt end, and silence spread around the two of them.

Guochang Lu Dajue closed his eyes again.

Hagizawa began to narrate: "Guochang Lu's family must have been arranged by you, and it is impossible for me to go back, so it will not happen that the family dominates. Don't worry."

"I will only take away the people left behind by my father in the Non-Time Court, and let the others follow your wishes, let them no longer participate in the affairs between the kings, and maintain their own operations."

Hagizawa let sit with him for a while, then said impatiently: "If you have nothing to do, I will first..."

As soon as he got up, Guochang Lu Dajue grabbed his wrist tightly, very hard, like iron tongs.

Hagizawa let it hurt a lot from being pinched, but he didn't take it to heart, but was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Guochang Lu Dajue could still have such great strength when it was so difficult to sit up.

In an instant, those sharp eyes like a falcon aiming at the prey made Hagizawa let him overlap with the appearance when he first met ten years ago.

"promise me."

He said irresistibly.

"Be sure to protect, protect..."

This sentence seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he was out of breath when he said it, and even his hand holding Hagizawa Joe was exhausted, and he let go weakly.

He still didn't say what to protect, did he refer to the stone slab, the country, or something with a bigger meaning?Hagizawa Jean didn't know, and didn't want to know.

"My heart is not that big." Joe Hagizawa hooked the corner of his mouth perfunctorily, "I just want to guard my own square inch." Guard that piece of sapphire that weighs as much as the whole world.

Guochang Lu Dajue closed his eyes in satisfaction, "That's good...that's good..."

Hagizawa Joe: "..."

Guochang Lu Dajue took a few breaths, and said exhaustedly: "Weitzman told me that he is a good boy. With him watching you... I feel relieved..."

Hagizawa twitched the corners of his mouth, and said sarcastically, "You guys from the mafia, you actually call him a good boy, is he really old?"

But even though he said that, he actually knew in his heart what kind of person Zhongye Zhongye was.

The reason why he stabbed Guochanglu Dajue is because they all know that as long as Nakahara Chuzai is there one day, Hagizawa will protect the stone slab that is more meaningful than him, protect Yokohama that he cares about, and protect Yokohama well. The country they live in protects the world they live in.

As soon as Hagizawa Joe came out of the room, he saw the Silver King leaning against the wall.

He smiled gently and said, "Are you ready to go back?"

Hagizawa nodded.

"When the new king was born, the power of the king surged, and the possibility of being monitored is very high. The green king's eyeliner is almost all over Tokyo, and I can't take this risk." Joe Hagizawa said, "He hasn't done anything for a long time. The reason why he snatched the slate was because he was not sure about the status of the King of Gold. However, recently, his subordinates have frequently made troubles in Tokyo. Court's attitude."

"Yeah." The Silver King sighed, "I believe they will do it soon."

Hagizawa Joe and the Silver King nodded and left without looking back.

The King of Silver watched his leaving back, full of thoughts.

Regarding the Dresden stone slab, he actually has some new ideas, but... he still needs something to support his theory.

If his idea really worked, and he did, wouldn't the kid be pissed?

Ugh.

If only there was a way to get the best of both worlds...

Leaving the new "Heavenly Kingdom" airship of the Silver King, Joe Hagizawa was picked up by the "rabbit" and headed to the next destination - the Ozhu Tower.

Before the car started, the "rabbit" sitting in the passenger seat rushed to the intercom and said, "Get ready for action."

The other side of the walkie-talkie quickly communicated: "Received."

"Rabbit" put away the walkie-talkie, spread out his right hand, and a golden flame ignited in his palm.

He slapped the car door with his backhand, and the flame spread out in all directions quickly as if consciously, and soon covered the entire car, and then the car disappeared suddenly.

This is the member's ability to conceal targets and their loads covered in flames.Although it can only act on one object at a time, because its contents can also be concealed, the range of effect of this ability can be large or small.If the flames are enough, he can even hide an entire building.

Of course, it is just hiding, rather than making the target disappear completely. If an obstacle touches a hidden object covered in flames, it is easy to find that there is something in this place.

When Yufei opened the back door, Hagizawa went all the way to the Imperial Pillar Tower where the Dresden stone slabs were sealed.

He went directly to the upper room where the stone slabs were placed.

When he opened the door, he saw the King of Blue who was acting as the King of Gold temporarily pressing the slate, and also the head of Scepter4—Munakata Reiji.

The full name of Scepter4 is the Fourth Branch of the Household Registration Division of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau. On the surface, it is a government agency responsible for managing special foreigner household registration. In fact, it is a public security management agency specifically targeting people with supernatural powers. Its members are all clans of the Blue King. .

Because he knew in advance that the King of Gold would send someone to take over the slate, Reji Munakata was not surprised by the arrival of Joe Hagizawa.

Hagizawa let him stand five or six meters away from him.

"Hello."

"Hello."

"Although I don't know why the Gozen entrusted you with the slate for safekeeping..." Munakata Reji said with a smile, "But Tokyo has been a bit chaotic recently, so it's better to hide the slate for now." The troublesome Green King clan.

"Temporarily?" Hagizawa let out a chuckle with unknown meaning, his tone was soft and soft, but the words he said were not polite, "You don't have to think about it anymore."

"Oh?" Reiji Munakata pushed his glasses, "Forgive me, it's not a good thing that the power of the slate is too active, and other than the 'King', no one else can suppress the power of the slate."

Hagizawa Joe: "So..."

Reji Munakata: "So?"

"I will be king."
