Chapter 38: Far From Home (1/2)
Arriving at the agreed bar, Masashi didn’t see Rei Li. When he was about to make a phone call, a man suddenly bumped into him. When he turned to look, it was actually a young man covered in alcohol smell.
“I’m sorry, Sir. The man was drunk.” A waiter came up and propped up the young man.
“Leave me alone….” That drunken youth pushed the waiter, then lying motionlessly on the bar.
Seeing he didn’t make any more trouble, the waiter dared not to wake him up. Masashi nodded his head and left.
The funny thing is, when the waiter left, the young man woke up. He opened his mouth and shouted about wanting a liquor. The bartender had no choice but to bring one glass of beer to him.
That youth lied there drinking while his finger flailed heedlessly. He also shouted loudly once in awhile.
Masashi was upset by his noise, so he stood up and left.
“Sir, do you want to leave? Your wine is ready.” The bartender was a bit embarrassed to look at him.
“Give it to this guy. Let him have a good drink.” Masashi readily paid the bill.
“What a strange man.” When Masashi had left, the bartender glanced at that drunken young man who was already unconscious and said to himself.
After leaving the bar, Masashi didn’t give a call. But just walking around following the street. After a few blocks, Masashi came to a junction and then nonchalantly enter a Citroen car.
“Mr. Gennai, hallo.” A voice from the man at the front seat suddenly resounded.
“Drive.” Masashi lightly said.
“Yes.” The man immediately started the car.
After about half an hour, the car arrived at a nondescript two storey house.
“Mr. Gennai, the boss is in the house.” The man said to Masashi after he opened the car door.
“Thank you, you’ve worked hard.” When Masashi saw the man’s face, it was way younger than he imagined.
After that youth had bowed to Masashi, he drove away the car.
Masashi knocked the door bell and, after a while, with a “squeak” sound, the door automatically opened. He went inside without a pause.
On the corridor, there was only a very small energy-saving lamp. Under this dim lightning, the room was very spooky.
‘This is actually a perfect place for a ghost.’ Masashi smiled.
In the dark, a middle-aged man came. “Mr. Gennai, the boss is waiting for you in the study room, please walk with me.”
Masashi nodded and followed him.
“Mr. Gennai, the boss is inside, please go ahead. If there’s nothing else, please excuse me,” then he bowed and quietly walked away.
Masashi knocked on the door, opened it and went in.
“Master, you finally came.” Rei Li, who wear casual sportswear, was pleased to see Masashi and came over to welcome him.
“You used a secret code to bring me here. It looks like you don’t have much free time as you said on the telephone.” Masashi sat in a chair, picked up a cup on the table and took a sip.
Rei Li embarrassedly scratched his head a bit.
“Well then, tell me what happened?”
Rei Li straight-facedly said: “Master, we were ambushed.”
“Who’s the opponent?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know the other party?”
Rei Li smiled wryly, “I really don’t know. Half a month ago, the Black Dragon bases in Manhattan, Texas, Seattle and several other positions were attacked simultaneously, killing nearly three hundred. I only know that the opposite party is a group of men in black with face cover.”
“Their skills were good, with excellent weapons. These many people with many guns unexpectedly can’t be caught even for just one person.”
“The most annoying one is: That group of people was completely crazy. Everyone of them has been bundled with high explosives. So long as one of them were sieged, they will immediately detonate the bomb. Many people died because of these suicide bomb. His grandma, I’ve never seen a perverted killer like these. They were basically a terrorist. Moreover, they came in batches. Really terrible.”
