The dagger at this moment was accurately held by Michael in the palm of his hand, the blade cut the skin on his hand, and the bright red liquid slowly dripped down the back of the knife to the ground.

And Michael seemed unmoved by everything, just quietly looked down at the boy in front of him.

Seeing this situation, Shu Yi couldn't help but rushed up immediately, "Caleb!"

Michael who heard the voice just glanced at Shu Yi indifferently, but seeing the former's cold eyes, Shu Yi didn't know how to react for a moment.

Michael's hand kept bleeding, and the boy trembled even more when stimulated by the bright red liquid, but his eyes were surprisingly calm.Michael naturally noticed this situation, he squatted down, then looked at the boy, gestured to the dead body of the man not far away with his eyes, and asked, "You know that man just wanted to What does your mother do?"

"I know." The boy replied softly and quickly with a trace of hatred in his eyes.

"Then do you know who killed that man for you?" Michael didn't wait for the boy to answer, but replied self-consciously, "It was me. So... are you going to target me like this now?"

Seeing the boy pursed his lips, Michael understood, and then let go of the hand that had been holding the dagger.The wound on his hand was very deep, seeing this, Shu Yi's already frowning brows tightened even more.But Michael didn't respond to this. He looked at the wound on his hand, and then said to the boy, "If the knife you just stabbed me was on that man, maybe... you mother will not die."

"Do you know? Your mother's tragedy was caused by your cowardice."

Seeing the mist starting to rise in the boy's eyes, Michael stroked his cheek with bloody palm, "Remember. Only when you are so strong that you don't need other people's protection, others will not hurt you because of you." Sacrifice. In District J, there is no right or wrong, no good or evil, when someone wants to bully you, what you can do is not to hide, not to run away."

"…Um."

"Do you have any relatives?"

"...I have a younger sister." The boy looked at Michael, paused for a while, and then replied, "My father was beaten to death last month. Our family has no money. My mother brought me out this time. In order to find something to eat."

When Michael heard this, he stood up, glanced sideways at Shu Yi, and then asked, "Do you have any money with you?"

"Huh?!" Shu Yi, who was asked, immediately rummaged through his clothes, and then found some coins in several pockets. Michael grabbed them and stuffed them all into the boy's pockets, and then Said once, "Live a good life with your sister."

The boy nodded and said a soft thank you.Only then did he walk to his mother's side, and slowly dragged the woman's cold body towards another alley.

"Don't you need to take him home?" Shu Yi looked at the small figure that was fading away, and asked Michael next to him.

Michael didn't look at Shu Yi, but just replied flatly, "If you want to go, you can go. I didn't stop you."

Hearing these words, Shu Yi naturally knew that Michael was still angry with him.He touched his nose in embarrassment, and continued to talk, "You came out so late because of this incident? Did you see this boy at that time?"

However, before hearing Michael's answer, another voice came from not far away, "Yo ho, look, second child, isn't this Mi?"

"Yes, brother. I thought that communication message was a lie? Fortunately, you said you would come and take a look."

As soon as Shu Yi turned around, he saw two people standing at the entrance of the alley.One tall and one thin, one short and one fat.

…were they calling Caleb just now?

"Boss Chen, second child, stay safe." Michael looked at them and said something casually.

The man called Boss Chen took a few steps forward, and the second child beside him naturally followed.When the two were only a few steps away, Shu Yi realized that the two seemed a little familiar.

"Mi, you should know that the higher ups have spent a lot of money to catch you, yet they still dare to show up here. Then don't blame us brothers for being rude!"

"Heh." Michael chuckled lightly when he heard the two people's overreaching words, and then said, "Do you remember who these two people are?"

Shu Yi heard the words, and responded, "Yes."

Chen Boss and Chen Lao Er, these two are exactly the people on their task list that need to be resolved.

"Now that you think about it, let's go directly." Michael looked at the two people in front of him, with a trace of contempt in his eyes.Before the three people around him could react, he rushed up to the one in front of him and fought with him.

Seeing this, Shu Yi naturally reacted quickly, and directly punched Chen Lao Er who was nearby and wanted to help.At this moment, Chen Lao Er didn't pay attention to Shu Yi's actions, so this punch hit him in the face very accurately.He took a few steps back unsteadily, and fell to the ground suddenly.

After a successful blow, Shu Yi naturally wanted to pursue the victory.After walking a few steps quickly, before Chen Laoer could stand up, he stomped down heavily.Seeing this, Chen Lao Er immediately turned over to avoid the kick. He put his hands on the ground and kicked Shu Yi with his feet.Taking advantage of the two seconds that Shu Yi retreated to avoid, he immediately stood up.

Chen Laoer took out the dagger he had been carrying all along, and immediately stabbed at Shu Yi.

On the other side, Michael was also fighting fiercely with Boss Chen.Since both of them held short knives in their hands, close combat was unavoidable if they wanted to succeed.

Because of the wound just now, Michael held the knife in his right hand, almost in great pain.The wound was bleeding again as it was pulled, but he didn't care about it, and still focused on dealing with the opponent.

After a few moves, the two hardly hurt each other at all.

"Mi, I see that your skills have regressed a lot during this time." Boss Chen saw that after a few moves, he was almost on a tie with Michael, who is known as the number one killer in J District, and couldn't help but say a little proudly. .

When Michael heard this, his calm expression was not disturbed at all.On the contrary, Boss Chen had a momentary loophole because of his slack just now.

Taking advantage of this momentary opportunity, Michael quickly rolled over and got behind Boss Chen.As Michael is a killer, the most fearful thing for Zone J and his opponents is to let Michael take the opportunity to break through and go around behind them.Because the speed at which the knife in Michael's hand slashed across the neck was always faster than the speed at which they turned over to defend.

In just a few seconds, Boss Chen's eyes widened.

"It's over." The light words sounded, and there was already a bloodstain on Boss Chen's neck.Chen Lao Er, who was still fighting with Shu Yi, immediately became angry when he saw the fallen man, and his strength was much stronger than before.

Shu Yi dodged a punch, and couldn't help frowning when he heard the powerful blow.Beam Wing's ability to shoot is outstanding.But in terms of melee combat, it is not necessarily comparable to Chen Lao Er in front of him.

Seeing this, Michael stepped forward and joined the fight.

Against Shu Yi alone, maybe Chen Laoer can barely draw a tie.But now that there is one more Michael, it is obviously a lot of effort.

After barely dodging Shu Yi's punch, he was still attacked by Michael.A powerful punch mercilessly knocked Chen Laoer to the ground.And the last thing that appeared in Chen Laoer's eyes was a bloody knife stabbing at him...

……

"Caleb, your hand..." As soon as the fight was over, Shu Yi's first sentence was to ask about Michael's injury, but before he could finish speaking, Michael interrupted him.

"Let's go back." Michael glanced at Shu Yi indifferently, but it was just this glance that caused Shu Yi's question that he wanted to speak again to be stuck in his throat.

The two returned to their temporary home without a word, only to find that the light in the living room was on.As soon as the two entered, they saw Wen Yun sitting on the sofa.

"Where did you go?" Wen Yun looked at them and asked.

"...Captain." Shu Yi shouted softly, not knowing how to answer.Because Wen Yun had told them early in the morning that no one could act without his order.

"Let me ask you, where did you go just now?!" Wen Yun asked again, but this time, the tone of the previous one was gone.

Seeing Wen Yun like this, Michael didn't hide anything, and said directly, "I know the two people on the list, so I called them out in private to solve the problem."

After that, Michael walked into the living room.Wen Yun, who originally wanted to ask something again, frowned as soon as he saw the wound on Michael's hand, and immediately asked, "What's the matter with the wound on his hand?"

"I accidentally got scratched in the fight just now. It's okay for a small injury."

Seeing Michael's plain expression, and Shu Yi's hesitant appearance of wanting to care about him, Wen Yun probably understood that the gap between the two still exists, so he said to Shu Yi, "Shu Yi, go to my room and bring me the medicine box beside the bed. I'll bandage Caleb's wound."

After waiting for the instructions, Shu Yi nodded immediately. Originally, he was only thinking about dealing with the wound on Michael's hand.Now that he heard Wen Yun's words, he naturally acted immediately.

Wen Yun got up and walked to Michael's side, stretched out his hand to take his injured right hand, and carefully examined the wound.But after a while, Michael asked, "...captain, do you already know a lot about me?"

Wen Yun heard the words, looked up at Michael, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"My background."

Not my original identity, but...my background...
