This is a typical Japanese-style building with a simple appearance and sparse decorations. The building's appearance is composed of simple geometric shapes, giving people a feeling of tranquility, cleanness and elegance. The courtyard of the villa is also a typical Japanese-style style, with a huge poolside planting
The cherry blossom trees are full of red, and the wind blows the cherry blossoms all over the sky. At the same time, the stream on the rockery flows into the scale-like bamboo tube. When the water is full, the bamboo tube hits the stone with a "snatching" sound, matching the cherry blossoms.
, like a singer dancing and singing.
However, such a beautiful villa is enveloped in a solemn and chilling aura. This aura is like a long knife that cuts the beautiful scenery into two pieces and becomes fragmented.
Inside and outside the villa, there were young people in black suits standing in every corner. Their waists were straight, like stone statues, their faces were cold, and there was a hint of cruelty, as if they were training
A skilled soldier.
The reception hall of the villa is next to the courtyard. Sitting in the hall is an old man with a majestic face. His hair is pale but neat. He is wearing a black kimono and is sitting upright on the tatami. In front of the old man is a row of rows.
On the coffee table, he was concentrating on the final craftsmanship of the tea ceremony. His wrinkled hands were very steady, and he steadily poured a bowl of water into the pot, without even a drop of water spilling out.
There were three people kneeling in front of the old man, with respectful expressions. Two of them were strong middle-aged men in their forties or fifties. One was wearing a kimono, and the other was in a suit and leather jacket. The third one was in his thirties.
A 20-year-old beautiful woman, a typical Yamato Nadeshiko-style Japanese woman, with fair skin, hair coiled behind her head, her head lowered quietly, and she would not make a sound as long as the man did not say anything.
"What's the name of the bodyguard of the Helf family?" The old man poured the tea from the pot into the teacups before he spoke. Then, the old man gently raised his hand and motioned for the three people below to taste it, and the three of them couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Frightened and surprised, I hurriedly burst into tears of gratitude, bowed my head and said thank you, "Thank you, His Majesty the God Emperor, for the tea!"
The three of them took the tea cup, not daring to leak a drop of tea, and drank it in one gulp. Then they gently placed the tea cup on the coffee table. All their actions were cautious, for fear of doing something disrespectful to the old man, just like the courtiers.
See like an emperor.
The middle-aged man in kimono said respectfully, "His name is Lucia. He is one of the three superhuman bodyguards of the Helf family. His superpower is a special void hand! However, he was a member of the Xuanye family a few months ago.
During the transaction with the Helf family, he was captured by the American A.I.D. Little did he know that he had the ability to escape and even smuggled himself into Japan."
"Yesterday he went to Tokyo to find the Xuanye family. He hoped that the Xuanye family would look at the relationship between his former business partners and find a way for him to go to Russia. However... he has been arrested by our people now."
The old man muttered, "Catch him? Then wouldn't the cooperation with the Helf family..."
"His Majesty the God Emperor, the Helf family is gone." Another middle-aged man in a suit bowed and said that he was rude and interrupted. He said, "The day before yesterday, on the 10th, the direct members of the Helf family
They all died tragically, and even the manor was burned to the ground."
"Do you know who did it? Qiong!" The old man's face was calm, with a calmness that would remain unchanged despite the collapse of a mountain, as if nothing could move him.
The middle-aged man in a suit, whom the old man referred to as Qiong, said, "I don't know the specific situation, but I guess... it might have been done by people from the Twelve Branches of the Apostles."
The old man remained expressionless, took a sip of tea and said, "Go on!"
"Yes!" Joan said respectfully, "Although the Helf family has always maintained a subordinate relationship with the Twelve Apostles, and has provided funding sources for the Twelve Apostles for a long time, but some time ago, the international spy agency traced the clues from the Helf family.
The Twelve Apostles’ pharmaceutical factory in South Africa was destroyed in one fell swoop. So, I guess the destruction of the Helf family was the death penalty imposed by the Twelve Apostles. "el?"
"Yes! The first phase of the Blood Angel Plan was improved at that pharmaceutical factory, but such an important stronghold was destroyed because of the Helf family, so the destruction of their family must have been caused by the Twelve Apostles."
"Yes!" The old man nodded, thinking that such a guess was reasonable, and then said, "The purpose of asking you to send the humble Xuanye family to trade with the Helf family was to contact the twelve branches of the apostles through the Helf family, and to be able to
We reached a state of cooperation with them. But who knew that the location of the transaction would be leaked, and eventually it was jointly attacked by the United States and Japan, causing the failure of the original plan. Now that the Helf family has been destroyed, what do you have to do with arresting Lucia?
use?"
Facing the old man's question, the middle-aged man in kimono said, "Your Majesty the God Emperor, the three superhuman bodyguards of the Helf family are actually assigned to them by the twelve branches of the apostles, which means that these three supernormal people are actually
It belongs to the twelve branches of the apostles."
"Is this happening? If Lucia is really a member of the Twelve Apostles, then you still imprison him? Doesn't this make you an enemy of the Twelve Apostles? Xuri, tell me!"
The middle-aged man in kimono who was called by his name hurriedly said, "Your Majesty the God Emperor, please calm down! Of course we arrested Lucia for a reason. Because we found out that the other two superhuman bodyguards of the Helf family have also been killed.
After they died, I think the twelve apostles also blamed them for failing to protect the secrets of the organization, so they were punished together."
"So... the twelve apostles will not let Lucia go?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Xuri's true intention, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, Xuri, you did a good job, but I was too impatient and almost almost
I wrongly blamed you!"
"Don't dare! It was your Majesty the God Emperor who misunderstood you because of your slow speech. It's your fault!" Xuri bowed his head excitedly and paid tribute. Qiong showed an expression of envy and jealousy on the side, and it seemed that he could get a compliment from the old man.
He also said, "Your Majesty the God Emperor, when we captured Lucia, we also learned that there were two supernatural beings accompanying him. For safety reasons, we have sent people to contact him and find a way.
Catch them, maybe they are also the ones the twelve apostles need."
"Yes! You have thought very carefully and done a good job!" the old man praised, and Qiong immediately blushed with excitement and was almost moved to tears.
Finally, the old man turned to the only beautiful woman in the room who did not speak and maintained the image of a quiet beauty. In other words, she was just like a robot. She didn't know how to take the initiative to speak unless others called her.
"Kagura, I'll leave it to you to arrange the next thing. Spread the word about Lucia in our hands around the world. In this way, the twelve apostles should send people to recover him, and then we can also use this
We have the opportunity to contact them. If we can negotiate cooperation, we can use their strength to step in..." The old man said, a sharp edge suddenly flashed in his turbid eyes, like the light of a sword, like the shadow of a sword, just like on the battlefield.
The war drums waving flags and chanting, "High! Heaven! Original!"

Two young men who looked like gangsters approached Bai Zihan and Li Wenmin, looked at the crowd of people drying kelp on the beach, and asked, "Excuse me, does Bai Zihan work here? Can you ask him to come out?"
Bai Zihan was a little confused. Although he didn't understand Japanese very well, after a week of familiarity, he knew more or less what the tone of his name was. The two people in front of him actually came to see him, but obviously they didn't
You know what "Bai Zihan" looks like, otherwise how could you ask who Bai Zihan is in front of you?
"Oh, hey... wow... Bai Zihan... stupid..." Bai Zihan stood up, bowed in the Japanese way of greeting, and said it in broken Japanese. At the same time, he was afraid that the other party would not understand, so he made gestures.
.
The two young men didn't expect that the real master was right in front of them. They looked embarrassed and hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "I'm sorry! We are members of the Xuanye family. We are here to pick up you and your friends at the request of Mr. Lucia!" they said.
It's actually pure Chinese.
Bai Zihan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that it was Lucia who asked them to come. This kid who had been missing for five days actually went to some Xuanye family. He hurriedly asked, "Where is Lucia? Why didn't he come?"
"Mr. Lu Xiu is a distinguished guest of our family. He is resting at the headquarters in Tokyo today, so he can't come here. Please get on the bus. We have already booked the ferry tickets to Tokyo. We can meet Lu Xiu in the evening.
Mr. Ya has met." The other party made an invitation gesture.
Bai Zihan and Li Wenmin looked at each other, thinking, so soon? They are not ready to leave yet, or they have gradually become accustomed to the days of drying kelp, and they are all a little... reluctant to leave when they suddenly have to leave.
"Sorry, can we have a few words?" Li Wenmin said to the two young people, then pulled Bai Zihan aside and asked him, "Zihan, do you... really want to go to Russia with Lu Xiuya?"
"
"I...I don't know!" Bai Zihan shook his head, he was such a person without any opinion.
Li Wenmin looked at him and said, "We have been here for a week. To be honest, I was not used to it at the beginning, but gradually I began to like this kind of ordinary life. There is no A.I.D chasing after me here.
I don’t have to worry about being arrested and imprisoned, and I don’t have to worry about being hungry because I have no financial resources. Now when I wake up every day, I just need to happily buy vegetables and cook. I don’t have to worry about even going out on the street like I did before.
I was also worried about whether I would be caught on camera, and I didn’t dare to walk in a crowd.”
Li Wenmin was wanted by A.I.D in China and fled from the northwest to the southeast. The journey was full of bitterness, but the current life made her feel comfortable and peaceful, so she was unwilling to leave here. Bai Zihan also understood her feelings, because there was no
People are willing to live a wandering life, saying, "I don't want to leave here either. Or, it's time for us to say goodbye to Lucia. He is different from us. He has a home to go back to, but we don't."
Because I lost my home, I am the same everywhere!
In this way, Bai Zihan and Li Wenmin left Okinawa Prefecture by boat. They were going to Tokyo to say goodbye to Lu Xiuya in person. However, the two young men accompanying them secretly called back to the headquarters to inform the headquarters that the "guest" had taken the bait.
