"This is Kondo Izakaya. We do not provide delivery service. If you want to reserve a table, please hang up directly. Thank you, goodbye! This is Kondo Izakaya... Wait, I'll pick you up. You should be looking for me... Check the post? Haha,
How is it possible, I am a golden bachelor!"
Such bold words inevitably attracted laughter and scolding from the crowd of drinkers and fishermen in this rural tavern in Hokkaido.
The person involved didn't care. He picked up the landline phone on the bar with a smile, walked a few steps to a quieter corner, and said in a relaxed tone into the receiver: "Sora Bawa (good evening in Japanese), I am Hitomi Hitoshi,
Is this Mr. Ghost?"
"N-Nani?"
"Um, I'm sorry, I may have answered the wrong phone number. Wait a minute, I'll call the boss for you."
"No need...you are looking for me?"
Listening to the sudden change of indifferent voice on the phone, Hitomi Hitoshi was startled for a moment, and then he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "You don't need to be so careful, Mr. Ghost, I'm not in Australia. Besides, we are friends, you saved me
.”
I even glanced at you... Someone curled his lips: "Let's just talk about it."
Being direct is not a good start for communication.
As a senior mediator, Hitoshi Hitoshi originally wanted to exchange a few customary greetings, recommend a few books, and set the stage for the atmosphere. But when he saw someone's reaction was relatively cold, he had to shake his head and said,
"Okay, let me be frank, I am here to mediate the conflict this time. First of all, on behalf of Kitouji and Echigo Mikata, I would like to apologize to Mr. Ghost. I hope you can forgive us for our offense this time. Secondly, I would like to apologize to Mr. Ghost.
, If possible, I hope Ghost Lord can be lenient to the ninjas who are still in Australia and let them leave."
To be honest, these words sound a bit harsh. It sounds like I drank fake wine or got a serious illness!
The logic in it gives people the impression that I gave you a shot and didn't kill you. In this case, let's reconcile... How can there be such a reason in the world?
But unfortunately, there is it in the underground world.
Here, fighting between life and death is normal, and life has its own price, so sometimes the logic of grudges and hatred will tend to be more simple, crude and direct.
In short, if you are dead, you can lie down wherever it is cool. If you are still alive, then everything can be discussed.
Someone who is also a member of the underground world naturally understands this truth, so he was not very angry after hearing this, but said, "Did you just say that you represent Kitouji and Echigo Miha?"
"right."
"As far as I know, Echigo Miha does not belong to Kitouji?"
"It was like this before, but starting from tonight, Echigo Miha officially joins Kitouji and exists as a relatively independent branch force."
Jinjin Jinji did not hide anything, and told him frankly, "I have to thank the Ghost King for this. In fact, Si Li has had this idea for a long time, but due to various reasons, especially the strong resistance of the Mesozoic Era ninjas, it has never been possible.
Can succeed. Until tonight, the news that the latter suffered heavy casualties under the hands of Lord Ghost came back..."
This is crazy——
If he didn't understand Renjian Renji's character and conduct, Tang Chao would really think that the other party was mocking... Let me chop down the tree, and you pick the fruit?
Taking a deep breath, "So, this phone call is not mediation, but a threat! Can I understand it this way?"
"Of course not!" Hitomi Hitoshi was stunned when he heard this, and he quickly came back to his senses and explained, "Please don't get me wrong, what I mean is that no matter what happened before, it is over now, and this matter can completely end here!
"
"Is this your attitude?"
"It's also Kitouji's attitude. I can make the decision."
"Including a certain mad dog?"
"Uh..." Hitomi Jinji raised his hand to touch his forehead, "I'm sorry, Ghost-kun. I admit that the source of this attack is indeed because of Musashi's unobstructed talk about speculation about Yamashita Takuro's whereabouts, but apart from that
In addition, Kitōji has no involvement whatsoever. Including Musashi himself, he is definitely not in Australia now!"
"Oh, really?"
There is a saying that Hitomi Hitoshi's character is trustworthy, so if he says he is not in Australia, it means he is not. But when it comes to a certain famous mad dog, it is hard to say, so he has to be more careful.
"Yes, Mr. Ghost, please believe me, Musashi is indeed not in Australia." At this point, Hitomi Hitoshi hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Actually, he is recuperating from his injuries."
"Uh-huh?!"
To be honest, Tang Chao was shocked. The turmoil in his heart can be roughly described in one sentence - you also have today!
How can I say that he sneaked into Lingjiang secretly and was beaten up by the little monk?
Or was it because he was so mean-mouthed that he finally pissed off the Shinto people and Hitomi Hitoshi and ended up in a mixed doubles match?
The above conjecture did not last long, and soon I heard a rather helpless tone on the other end of the phone, "About half a month ago, Musashi saw a post on the forum, which discussed the winning rate of human beings fighting with existing land beasts with bare hands, and talked with him.
Several netizens got into a fight. It was nothing at first. On the Internet, whatever you say is fine. But the next day he flew to Siberia to challenge bears on the ground..."
"..." How should I put it? It's speechless and outrageous, but it does sound like something that guy can do. As a mad dog, nothing is surprising.
"Then what?" After a moment of silence, Tang Chao couldn't help but ask, "Did he win?"
Gujiu
"No, Musashi was not very lucky. After staying in the wild for many days, he not only failed to find the brown bear, but accidentally lost his way, and there was also a problem with the supplies he brought with him. Although he managed to get out in the end, he suffered severe frostbite and almost died.
The kind!"
"Oh... this is so regrettable!" After a pause, the regret in Tang Chao's tone was clear.
After hearing this, Hitomi Jinji nodded in agreement: "Yes, he is too reckless. Even if you must go, you must at least make preliminary preparations to minimize the risk. For example, find a place
Guide or something..."
"No, what I mean is, why didn't he just freeze to death! Sure enough, God doesn't care!"
"..."
This time it was Hitomi Hitoshi's turn to be silent. He subconsciously opened his mouth and opened it again, wanting to say something, but in the end he just breathed softly and changed the topic wisely.
"It's not important, let's get back to the topic. Except for some of those ninjas who fell into the hands of the local police and are currently being rescued in the hospital, the rest have received evacuation orders and left Australia in the shortest possible time. Now only the ghosts are needed
Your attitude..."
"What if I don't want to let them go back?"
"Well, we can talk." There was no surprise, let alone anger. Hitomi Jinji said frankly, "No matter what the reason is, the attack has occurred and the damage has been caused. In this case, if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price.
…How about a million dollars?”
After a few seconds of silence, Tang Chao suddenly chuckled: "Oh, do you have a lot of money?"
Hitoshi was speechless for a moment.
"Is it really your money?!" If it was just a guess just now, then Tang Chao is undoubtedly sure now. Let's just say, when did Kitouji become so easy to talk to?
The actual situation is that there are countless outstanding professional killers in the industry, and the existence of the number one killer group in the underground world. Kitōji's acting style, not to mention domineering and wanton, at least a domineering image cannot be escaped.
of.
This is not entirely a derogatory ridicule. In the underground world that believes in strength, if you cannot always show a strong posture to the outside world, it is impossible to suppress a group of underground world members who are accustomed to be lawless!
"No...well, I can't hide it from Mr. Ghost. This million US dollars is indeed my personal contribution." Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Hitomi Jinji looked a little frustrated, but his tone didn't show it, and he explained with a little gratitude.
,
"Actually, I had planned this for a long time. Last time I was grateful to Mr. Ghost for helping me, but I didn't have the chance to thank him in person. I have always felt deeply regretful. I happened to take advantage of this contact and thought I could repay this favor by the way."
There is reason and evidence, but it may not be entirely true, especially in front of people from past lives who are familiar with his character.
In doing so, he is probably still worried about a direct conflict between him and Kitouji... Hehe, he is a good person...
"My favors are not so cheap!"
Hearing this, Renjian Renji's eyes suddenly lit up: "So, Mr. Ghost has agreed? No problem, just tell me the number!"
"It seems that you have really saved a lot of pension money..." Damn it! In the previous life, when you went out to play, you kept crying about being poor, so you had to let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord? Gan - "Why don't you pay the interest first!"
"Interest? Ha, okay, you say."
"Tell me the identity of the collaborators behind those ninjas? Don't say you don't know, someone has to pay for it, right?"
"Well... okay." After a slight hesitation, Hitomi Hitoshi replied quickly, "Will Clyde, an intelligence agent who is often active in Europe and Oceania. Of course, this is just one of his identities.
In addition, he has a little-known identity as Bob Vernal's agent."
"Bob Vernal?"
"Yes, Mr. Ghost, your tone...haven't heard of this name? Don't you know this person?" Hitoshi Jinji looked surprised.
"He sounds familiar... Judging from your tone, I should know him?"
"Well, it should be right."
"..."
"Ha, just kidding. I remember that in the Top 100 Killers list updated by the forum in March, Ghost King was ranked 99th, right? I have to say that this ranking does not match Ghost King's true strength at all.
, I also sent a private message on the site to the underground engine at that time, providing some suggestions..."
"Say it! Be serious! Point it out!"
"Oh, I'm sorry...well, then Bob Vernal is ranked ninety-eight on the list, just one above Ghost King."
After a pause, Renjian Renji said in a serious tone, "I'm not very clear about the rest. After all, the task I received from the Secretary is just mediation. But, Mr. Ghost, my intuition tells me that there is a problem here. You have to
careful."
"Thanks for the reminder, goodbye."
"Again……"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the beeping blind tone coming from the other end of the phone. He couldn't help but shook his head, pressed the call button, and dialed another number, which was connected.
"The mission is completed. Let those ninjas withdraw as soon as possible, or at least leave Australia... By the way, let Echigo Miha's senior management inform them: Don't make unnecessary moves, and don't make any more trouble, otherwise no one can save them!"
"Oh, one more thing. After you're done, please give Musashi a call. Let him rest somewhere, preferably out of Siberia... It's nothing. I heard that the situation in Eastern Europe is not peaceful recently, just in case.
One...why don't I fight? I'm not busy drinking, that's it, see you later..."
