Sato, the director of the Special Operations Division of Section Zero.
He has two action teams that belong directly to him, and he can also order other action teams. His apparent level is already one level higher than Yamashita's.
Actual level?
It is more than three levels higher.
He is the kind of commander who has real command authority within the "Zero Class".
There are two action teams directly under his command, and they are also the elite of the "Zero Class".
Whether it's equipment or funds, everything is tilted.
Therefore, people like Sato are naturally the targets of Hanazakura's efforts to win over. According to Onodera's knowledge, at that time, Hanazakura offered quite generous conditions in order to win over Sato.
Onodera remembers this very clearly.
but!
Why does the other party appear here?
Onodera was almost stunned on the spot.
Because, he thought of the flowers blooming in the garden and the trees in the restaurant.
It’s not just the mountains that are connected to the flowers blooming in the courtyard.
Does Sato have it too?
At this moment, Onodera wanted to slap himself.
Why choose this restaurant?
Why did you call out Sato's name just now?
Why doesn't he go to the toilet for a while?
Countless questions appeared in Onodera's mind.
However, it is more of a deep-seated problem.
It is normal for Yamashita to be associated with flowers blooming in the courtyard.
Both parties cooperate to get what they need.
It's normal for Sato to have a connection with the flower garden tree.
Sato's action team needs the help of Onmyoji from time to time.
But when both Yamashita and Sato are related to the flower garden tree, it is very abnormal.
It was as if two parallel lines began to intersect.
Such an unnatural intersection made Onodera's scalp numb and his back cold.
He seemed to see a net.
A monster hidden in the "flower cherry blossoms".
‘Hana Sakura’ is a monster hiding among the police, sucking the nutrients from the police.
And this monster is sucking the nutrients of the ‘Hanazakura’.
"Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps."
Inexplicably, Onodera thought of this sentence.
Also thinking about that phone number!
Is this number related to the blooming garden tree?
If anything, the blooming tree in the courtyard was scarier than what he saw now.
If not, then the situation of 'Hua Ying' is even more worrying.
Because, there is not one hidden monster!
There are more monsters sucking the nutrients of ‘Huazakura’!
However, that will all happen later.
What's going on now?
"I can actually meet you here!"
"What a fate!"
"Would you like a drink tonight?"
Onodera asked with a smile on Sato who looked surprised.
"Why are you here?"
Sato's face quickly regained its sternness, with questioning eyes.
"Of course it's time to eat!"
"However, when I see a guy I can't afford to mess with, I run away quickly!"
"I advise you not to go in either!"
Onodera looked frightened.
"who?"
Sato continued to press, with murderous intent hidden in his eyes.
His fists were clenched involuntarily.
As long as Onodera dared to say this name, he would strike with thunder, and the result would be Onodera - although he didn't want to take action in such a 'public place', but compared to if the matter was exposed, such an action would really be nothing.
!
Onodera seemed to have never seen such murderous intent at all. He came closer to Sato and lowered his voice and said——
"'Juggernaut'!"
Juggernaut?!
Sato was startled, and his clenched fists couldn't help but tremble.
It wasn't the name he guessed.
But the name was enough to surprise him.
"Is it the one I know?"
Sato asked.
"Who else could it be?"
Onodera said while patting Sato's shoulder.
In response to this intimate gesture, Sato slapped Onodera's hand away without hesitation.
"You guys are always so cold. If nothing's wrong, just smile!"
Saying these words, Onodera walked towards the entrance of the alley.
"You should leave quickly."
"You will die if you get involved with a guy like that."
Onodera said as he walked, looking kind-hearted.
However, only he knew that his palms were full of sweat.
How could he not see Sato's murderous intent?
The moment he saw Sato, he already knew that if he couldn't give a satisfactory answer, he would be dead.
Therefore, he had to satisfy Sato with an answer that was both unexpected and reasonable.
And in the city in front of us, is there anything more suitable than Jason?
No!
Jason's fame has reached an extreme since the sinking of the "Desperate".
Although some people still doubt the title of 'Sword Master'.
But that didn't stop people from recognizing Jason's strength.
Therefore, Jason is the most suitable.
As for cheating?
His life was almost gone.
Onodera can't control that much anymore.
He planned to fool him first, and then find Jason.
The first is to apologize.
For borrowing the other party's name, such an apology is necessary.
The second is cooperation.
The 'Hanazakura' in front of me has already become different.
He needs a reliable collaborator.
Or rather...
Seek asylum!
However, these all need to be left here.
But just when Onodera was about to walk out of the alley, Sato's footsteps came from behind.
Tread, tap!
Clear and powerful!
Has it been discovered?
Onodera's heart sank.
Almost subconsciously, Onodera wanted to speed up and leave, but he held back forcefully.
Not only did he resist escaping, he also turned around first.
"Sato, what's wrong?"
Onodera asked with surprise on his face.
Escape is impossible.
Once he escapes, his lie will be self-defeating.
Taking the initiative may seem risky, but you can take the initiative.
It's worth taking the risk.
Although people like Onodera are naughty and timid most of the time, when it comes to life, he can always burst out with huge energy.
This is the persistence of ‘life’.
Of course, it can also be said to be greedy for life and afraid of death.
No matter what it is, Onodera's performance at this moment is perfect.
At least Onodera thinks so.
Moreover, Sato didn't see anything.
But the suspicion in Sato's heart has not diminished one bit.
He didn't believe that he would meet Jason in such a coincidence when he made a private appointment with Huakaiyuan Shu here.
so……
Is Onodera lying to him?
After having this thought, Sato quickly recovered from the shock of hearing Jason's name.
He strode towards Onodera.
This is a kind of temptation.
Seeing Onodera's surprised expression, Sato frowned.
Just right.
Very consistent with the current situation.
However, Sato still had doubts in his heart.
Therefore, he grabbed Onodera's arm.
"Let's go, I want to see that sword master!"
Sato said this.
His eyes were fixed on Onodera.
Panic flashed in Onodera's eyes, and even though he tried his best to hide it, the panic still appeared uncontrollably.
Onodera knew this very well.
Therefore, he immediately said——
"Do you want to die?"
"If you want to die, just go!"
"Don't drag me with you!"
Saying these words, Onodera struggled violently.
Moreover, the voice rose unconsciously.
It seems that it is because of excitement, but in fact it is to save oneself.
He hoped to use a louder voice to attract other people's attention, so that Sato could throw a trap.
Onodera knew very well that once he really returned to the restaurant, he would be dead.
Therefore, this is his last resort to save himself.
It has to be discovered.
"Let me go!"
Onodera shouted with a louder voice.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Onodera suddenly realized that the voice he had just shouted had become inaudible.
And, more importantly, his body also became paralyzed.
Unable to move or speak.
Onodera was dragged towards the restaurant.
"I really want to believe you."
"It's a pity, I believe in one sentence even more——"
“Seeing is believing! Listening is believing!”
Saying such words, Sato still stared at Onodera.
And Onodera?
At this time, despair appeared in his eyes.
It's over!
Dying!
Onodera wailed in his heart.
Looking at Onodera's appearance, Sato's lips sneered.
really!
Just lying to me!
I guess I was about to run away after seeing the flowers blooming on the trees in the courtyard, but I happened to block him!
Thinking of this, Sato was ready to break Onodera's neck.
However, just when he was about to take action, he suddenly stopped.
Not a change of mind!
Not because of kindness!
It’s just because Sato thought of a way of ‘waste utilization’.
He needs to further express his value to the flowering garden tree.
I caught the person you ignored.
With such a 'chip', he will definitely be able to gain more advantages in the subsequent cooperation.
Thinking of this, Sato no longer hesitated and walked into the restaurant carrying Onodera.
After passing through the narrow corridor, he appeared in front of the restaurant.
Then, Sato was stunned.
Onodera, who was already desperate, even widened his eyes.
What did they see?
Jason!
Jason sitting opposite the blooming tree in the garden!
What's going on?
what happened?
Aren't you lying to me?
Is it true?
Sato froze on the spot, and as soon as he let go of his hand, Onodera fell to the ground after being picked up.
thump!
A strange noise attracted attention in the restaurant.
When Jason's gaze swept over, Sato's whole body trembled, and the coldness on his face completely disappeared, leaving only the fear in his bones.
Sato's coldness is only for ordinary people.
For the truly strong?
He is an empty shell.
Pretending to be powerful is ultimately just a disguise.
Onodera?
After the paralysis disappeared, Onodera rolled and crawled towards Jason.
He hugged Jason's shoes.
"Sir, do you still remember me?"
"I am Onodera, who is about to treat you to dinner?"
"Your shoes are dirty, let me wipe them for you."
Onodera licked his face, took his sleeve and began to wipe Jason's shoes.
Jason looked at Onodera's arrogant look, suppressed the disgust in his heart, and kicked him away.
"Stand there, don't move."
Jason said.
"Okay!"
"Do you think I should stand on one foot or on both feet?"
Onodera asked.
Jason ignored Onodera.
If he hadn't wanted to ask Onodera about something, he would have told him to get out.
It's definitely not because Onodera said he wanted to treat him to dinner.
Jason's attitude did not worry Onodera at all.
On the contrary, Onodera breathed a long sigh of relief.
As long as Jason didn't tell him to get out right away, he could survive.
Stay alive!
More important than anything else!
Face?
What does a person like him want to do with face?
Therefore, Onodera immediately stood behind Jason with a smile on his face, and bowed to Ryosuke beside him.
Although I am not the strongest!
But I must have the best relationship!
This is what Onodera is thinking now!
Anyway, the ship 'Hanazakura' is sinking!
Then hop aboard the ‘Juggernaut’ ship!
Be sure to remember the lessons learned in ‘Hanazakura’!
Be honest and do your duty!
Onodera told himself this.
However, at this time, Onodera was curious in his heart.
Why is Jason here?
Is it true that my life should not be cut off?
…
"Onodera went to a restaurant half an hour ago and never came out."
Huakaiyuanqing told Jason the news.
"Do you need me to send someone to bring him here?"
Huakaiyuan continued to ask.
"unnecessary."
"We'll go find him ourselves."
"It's about that."
Jason said cryptically.
"Um."
"We also need to sit down and talk about some things."
"Morning."
Huakaiyuan Qingya said very cryptically.
"Um."
After Jason said he knew, he hung up the phone.
Then, with Ryosuke driving the car, they headed to this restaurant.
Urashima was left to deal with some matters from the beginning to the end.
The affairs of the 'Uesugi family' are not really over yet.
Whether it’s against the ‘Knife Devouring Group’.
This is true for the officials as well.
The car is moving fast.
Soon, we arrived at our destination restaurant.
After the car stopped, Jason frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Ryosuke noticed something strange about Jason.
"Found a...'Food Transporter'!"
Jason's words became slurred later on.
Then, before Ryosuke could speak again, Jason opened the door and got out of the car.
He strode towards the restaurant.
Suck!
Sweet!
Delicious!
The flowers blooming and the trees in the courtyard narrowed their eyes in contentment.
Double the sugar!
That’s double the happiness!
The flower blooming in the garden tree holds a hot milk tea and nestles on the sofa, showing a relaxed state.
It's relaxation from the inside out.
It is also one of the few hobbies of flowers blooming in the courtyard.
Drink milk tea!
He is so in love!
Especially before getting down to business, drinking a cup of milk tea is so happy.
After being happy and relaxed.
Let's talk about business, just right.
kill……
It's just right.
The flowers blooming and the trees in the courtyard are immersed in their own happiness.
Then, suddenly his pupils shrank.
He saw someone he would never forget.
Jason!
That robber!
Powerful robber!
Almost instinctively, the flowers bloomed and the trees in the courtyard clenched their hands.
At this moment, his hand is holding the milk tea cup.
After a tight grip——
Snap!
The milk tea spurted out and flowed all over my hands.
"ah!"
“My milk tea!”
Huakaiyuanshu screamed miserably, without hesitation, he opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue and licked the back of his hand full of milk tea.
