"Okay!"
Seeing their Boss's expression turn slightly softer, Mike and Neo sighed in relief. At the same time, they felt rather worried because they knew very well what that meant. Their future was not going to be smooth sailing.
….
Shiro and Jason visited the place that Kanae marked on the map she gave to Shiro. With her giving this paper to him, it was clear that she didn't want to come by herself. The two of them decided to come when it was noon.
"Why do you think she doesn't want to come here?"
"This is the Souhon Clan's territory, and we have come here in the past," Jason answered. He was still rather familiar with the roads because they had previously visited this place for a mission.
Shiro looked around and sighed. "If something happens to me, you have to help. Most of the guys here have higher martial arts skills than me."
If it were shooting, Shiro wouldn't lose so easily, but in a physical fight, he was not too good. Even after the intense training, his muscles didn't really change that much. His strength and stamina increased, but not to Jason or Kanae's level.
"Just shoot them down," Jason answered leisurely.
"We're not on an island full of criminals. There are a lot of ordinary people here."
"If they attack you, you're allowed to shoot them. There's no such thing as law in this place, so you don't have to worry so much."
Shiro no longer said anything because they have arrived. They looked towards the big building and the numerous people around them. It was nigh impossible not to detect their hostility.
"This place is off limits. What do you want?" A man walked out lazily.
Looking towards that bulky man, Jason smiled slightly. "We meet again."
The bulky man stopped his movement and looked towards Jason. He eyed the man beside Jason with wariness. Shiro didn't come along last time when Jason was here, so this man didn't know him.
Shiro's attire was the most natural one. He wore a black leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses. When he was outside, he would wear the hood. This made him look like a suspicious person, though.
"This is the other core member from our group," Jason pointed towards Shiro. "We came here to negotiate."
The bulky man nodded his head. "I see. The shadow guard of your group is also another young man?"
"You're quite sharp, big man."
He laughed when he heard what Jason said. "When you grow older, you'll naturally become wiser unless you're a troublesome brat that doesn't want to learn or listen to anything."
Jason nodded his head. He still remembered the teaching he got. Making a mistake was normal. Making the same mistake twice was stupid. Making the same mistake thrice was beyond any cure.
"I think there's no need to test you again. Your two friends already passed and based on what I hear, you're the second strongest," the bulky man pointed his fat finger. "I'll listen to what you want to say, but if it sounds unpleasant, you should know what will happen."
Shiro noticed the momentary spike in hostility. His lips curled up as he realized that if they dared to cross their line, the people around them wouldn't be so polite. This was truly interesting.
"Don't worry," Jason smirked. "I'm sure even you will be interested in what I want to propose."
"I'm all ears."
