The sky outside the store was hazy, and the moisture condensed into rain and dew, rolling down the glass windows.
The tall girl was wearing an ill-fitting school uniform. She bent over and meticulously wiped the dust on the vertical bookshelf, occasionally looking out the window.
Aso Zhen is eighteen years old. After graduating from high school, he did not go to college but found a job in a toy store.
She had no money to continue going to college. After her parents divorced, she stayed with her grandma and lived on her grandma's pension.
In my spare time, I would make some high-quality and cheap handmade rice balls with my grandma and sell them on the tram, but the profit would be meager.
Over the years, Aso's most precious piece of income was a top-notch Patek Philippe watch handed over by a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes.
The gentleman was very young, probably about the same age as her. But the boundaries between people were already so clear.
I really saw enough kindness and respect in those clear eyes, but I also subconsciously felt cowardly and inferior.
She doesn't know what kind of family background allows someone to take off a watch worth more than ten million yen as a reward for paying for a meal.
If you sell this watch, you will have the money to pay for your college education and improve your life with your grandma.
But it didn't happen. Although she didn't give up her ideal of going to college, she still decided to work hard and save money on her own.
She has never been in love and doesn't know what kind of boy will be waiting for her in college.
And that watch was really carried close to her body, like Cinderella's glass slipper. Maybe she would never meet the young gentleman to express her gratitude in person again, but at least it would give her good luck.
But the toy store has not been very lucky recently. The store owner who kindly recruited her as an employee was extorted by gangs two days ago. The gangs on the street said that this store used to pay them protection fees, and now it needs to be converted into a toy store.
Keep paying it forward.
Otherwise, they will destroy the entire store. Before destroying the store, they will send people to sit in the store every night. The hideous-looking gangsters will scare away all the customers who come to buy toys and comics.
With a "ding" sound, the small bronze bell on the door rang. A guy in a long white windbreaker came in, with a baseball bat hanging from his waist that didn't match his height. He casually leaned the dripping umbrella against the door frame.
"Are you still on duty tonight?" The guy greeted me like an acquaintance.
"Welcome." Zhenze hid behind the counter, blocking himself with the cashier box, and said in a trembling voice.
For the past few days, she had been working the night shift alone, while the gangsters were sitting in the middle of the store playing with bats. Even calling the police would not be able to deal with this kind of thing, which would only anger them.
So I secretly called the gang's hotline, hoping to be dealt with properly.
After graduating from high school, she cherished the job she got after graduation and did not want the toy store to close down.
The Noda-gumi in Kabukicho is small, but it has always been famous for its bravery.
Hisashi Noda has been envious of gangsters since he was in school, because his cousin Kozo Noda is also one of them. They wear long trench coats with snake patterns embroidered on the cuffs, and swagger around the bustling streets of Tokyo, and all passers-by ask for help.
Avoid it.
For this reason, Noda Hisashi decided to drop out of school and follow his cousin into the underworld. Kozo admired his cousin's ambition very much, so he gave him the management of the seven stores under his name. The work was not complicated, just collecting protection fees on a monthly basis.
There are still a few gangsters following him, and every time he enters the store, the owner will bow and say hello, and the protection money will be delivered to Noda Hisashi's apartment without any instructions, so his life is comfortable.
After all, most of the shops in Kabukicho cannot escape the business related to the red light district, so there is a lot of money to be exploited.
However, these days, the adult sex shop owned by Hisashi Noda actually sublet the store and was converted into a toy store by the new owner, who refused to pay the protection fee, causing the business under Hisashi Noda to shrink significantly.
This incident made Hisashi Noda very angry, and he decided to take the opportunity to establish his authority and let the shop owner know the cost of offending the Noda-gumi.
Originally, Hisashi Noda didn't have to come to the store every night, but he was a manga fan, and even the long trench coat he wore was modeled on the style of the fourth generation Namami Feng Minato in Naruto.
If you are bored at night, you might as well squat in the store and read comics.
Having been in the underworld for a long time, Hisashi Noda felt that his life of collecting protection money on time and occasionally gathering people to bring clubs and machetes to scare shopkeepers was not very interesting.
The world of adults is very realistic. There is not as much brotherly loyalty as imagined, and all they talk about is interest disputes.
Rich people enjoy all the resources of society wantonly, while people without money are forced to become slaves to money.
Comics are better, especially hot-blooded comics, which are all men’s worlds. As soon as everyone talks about friendship, bonds, and the future, they immediately get excited and start charging.
Before Hisashi Noda could fully immerse himself in the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" comic, he heard a harsh brake sound.
The young man couldn't help but frown and stood up, randomly stuffing the comic books into the bookshelf. He kept hitting his palms with the baseball bat in his hand, showing a fierce and ferocious expression, trying to see who was coming in to buy toys.
However, after the door was pushed open, five people in long black trench coats stood outside the weathered door. Silent lightning illuminated the silk lining of their open black clothes. The bustling and splendid Ukiyo-e, the green Yaksha, the colorful
tigers, naked beauties and withered cherry blossoms.
The young man in the middle had a handsome face and a cold expression. He slowly lit a cigarette for himself and stepped into the store first. Just a casual glance made Noda Shou feel extremely frightened, as if his whole body was being seen through and there was no privacy.
.
Hisashi Noda has heard of these people, the law enforcers of our family. Compared to gangsters like them who can only scare people with steel pipes, these people are real evil spirits who kill without blinking an eye.
Zhenze looked at the visitor with joy. She was familiar with a classmate who had connections with the underworld and asked for a phone number. The classmate said that this was the family's help hotline and told her that if she was helpless when faced with threats from the gang, she could try to call
Please ask for help at this number.
I really dialed the phone, and the person who answered the phone was a sweet female voice. In order to win over my family, I really had the guts to add insult to injury by saying how cruel the gangsters on the street were, and told her that my family would send someone to solve the problem, and asked her to wait a moment. I would call her later.
I haven't contacted Zhen either.
The girl thought that the matter would just go away, but she didn't expect that the noble family actually sent out law enforcement officers.
"you you……"
Noda Hisashi sadly discovered that when facing the man with evil eyes in the middle, his legs were shaking unconsciously.
Lu Mingfei moved a chair like a dog and placed it considerately in front of Young Master Yuan, but Caesar took the seat first.
"What's your name?"
The young man with blond hair and blue eyes was the first to interrogate. Lu Mingfei stepped aside on the spot and translated loudly with a squinting look: "Taijun Caesar asked, what do you do?"
