The night was like ink. Just as Haruko was worried about the Doctor, on the other side in Shibuya City, Yuna had already bought a high-speed train ticket back to Kyushu City.
"Hiro, I'm here to say goodbye."
Yuna walked into the hall wearing a jacket, shaking the snow off his head. His scarred face was a little unnerving.
Hiro only had one ear, and like Yuna, his face was also covered in scars.
Turning to look at Yuna, he handed him a cigarette. "Are you really going back? To be honest, after we finish this job, I planned to promote you to the Fourth Hall. If you leave now, others might criticize you."
Yuna took the cigarette. As he reached for a lighter, Hiro offered him a light.
He exhaled a puff of smoke. "Hiro, honestly, I don't care about that position. You know I've been working hard here for my Little Sister. She usually doesn't tell me when she's in trouble. This is the first time she's asked for my help. As her brother, I have to go back."
His fierce face showed a simple, honest smile. "Years ago, I let down my parents and broke away from them to run around in society. She's the only Little Sister I have left."
"That's true," Hiro flicked his cigarette. "How long will you be back?"
"Not sure, I should be back within half a month." Yuna smiled. "Just let Little Six take my place. He's quite sharp, but there's one thing you need to pay attention to, Hiro."
Yuna's expression became a little more serious. "Didn't we take down a batch of the Yamato Family's underground businesses last time? Their reach hasn't retracted yet. Recently, someone named Si contacted me and provided a lot of information about that Yamato Family."
Hiro raised an eyebrow. "Trying to use us as a gun?"
Yuna nodded. "Probably. This batch of Yamato Family people were sent by that Sento. Whether to go for the kill, Hiro, you'll have to consider it."
Hiro sneered. "In this Shibuya City, even a tiger has to lie low for me. Even if we agree, other gangs won't just stand by and watch their cake be divided. You just go back, don't worry about these things."
"Alright then." Yuna nodded. "I'll take ten people back. If anything happens, I'll contact you, Hiro."
"Leaving so late?"
"Yeah, I bought the high-speed train ticket."
Hiro looked at Yuna in surprise. "Songzi, I haven't treated you unfairly these past two years, right? Millions aren't enough for you to buy a car?"
Yuna scratched his head sheepishly. "My Little Sister's body has always been very weak. She suffered several mental traumas years ago. Didn't I meet a skilled Doctor in my hometown before? He said the treatment would cost a lot of money, so the money from these past two years has all gone to help with her treatment."
Hiro frowned. "What kind of injury needs millions? You haven't been tricked, have you?"
"Probably not. He often tells me about my Little Sister's condition and has various photos. Last time I video called my Little Sister, she looked quite energetic."
"Besides, isn't money meant to be spent? Her looking good proves the money was well spent. It's fine."
"Alright then." Seeing this, Hiro didn't say more but picked up a key from the table and threw it over. "Also, you're a boss now, and you have quite a few subordinates under you. What kind of look is it to take your subordinates home by high-speed train?"
"Drive my car back, and have your subordinates pick up two more cars. Don't rush back either, spend more time with your sister."
"Okay, thank you, Hiro!"
"Thanks for what? If you hadn't blocked that knife for me back then, I would have lost more than just an ear. Hurry up and get out of here. If you're in a hurry to go back, don't get all sentimental with me here."
After sending Yuna away, Hiro lit another cigarette and tapped the table.
Soon, another subordinate came in. "Hiro, what are your orders?"
"Send someone to investigate the Doctor Yuna contacted and see what's going on. Also, aren't there a few disabled guys in the gang who keep saying they want to find some work?"
"Yes." The subordinate nodded. "You sent them to watch the warehouse, but they said it's too boring. They want to keep working like Deputy Hall Master Chi. Missing hands and feet is no big deal."
"A bunch of stubborn donkeys." Hiro flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Send them to Yuna's hometown. Tell them to find a piece of land there to farm and retire. Tell them the mission is to protect Yuna's parents. Go down."
With that, Hiro continued smoking and looked out the window, his expression heavy.
"Kyushu City is the Yamato Family's base... it's not easy to handle."
Time gradually passed. After a seven-hour long journey, Yuna and ten subordinates drove into Kyushu City.
It was already 3 AM. Although the three subordinates in the car with Yuna were tired, there was still a hint of anticipation on their faces.
"Hiro, we'll be at your place in half an hour. What's your sister's name? Chi Xiaocheng, right? Will I be able to call her Little Sister too?"
The dark-skinned man driving was in a good mood.
Yuna smiled and teased, "Mana, if you dare to have any ideas about my Little Sister, see if I don't break your legs."
"Hey, what kind of talk is that?" Mana shrugged. "We're brothers, so your Little Sister is naturally my Little Sister. I'm old now and don't have any family. I probably won't be able to find a wife. Can't I even fulfill this small wish of being called 'Brother' by our Little Sister?"
"Get lost, at your age, you're old enough to be an uncle."
"I'm only 28, what uncle? I'm still young!"
Yuna said seriously, "Let's make this clear beforehand. If you really see her, don't mention anything about the gang, got it? We brothers all met while doing manual labor."
"But speaking of it, I haven't seen my Little Sister in almost three years. I don't know how she is now. I hope she doesn't dislike me, a disabled person."
While chatting, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the residential area.
Since Hiro gave him this apartment, Yuna had never lived in it once. He just let Haruko keep a room for him and filled it with some daily necessities for his return.
Who knew that until now, he had never returned.
"Hiro, we brothers will go to the hotel first."
"Wait!"
Yuna squinted in the car and stopped Mana, who was about to get out.
Mana noticed Yuna's serious expression and flashed the car lights twice. The doors of the other two cars, which had just been opened, closed again.
"This place is being watched."
Yuna turned his head and looked at the two burly men eating late-night snacks at a roadside stall not far away.
Across the road, there was also a guy wrapped in a cotton coat sleeping on a bench.
They looked like amateurs. Their eyes and heads kept turning towards this side.
Mana's voice deepened slightly. "There are only three people visible on the surface. They looked over as soon as we arrived. We just got to Kyushu City and are already being watched? That fast?"
"It's my Little Sister who's being watched!"
Yuna's face darkened. He had thought that Haruko's mention of being bullied just meant some street thugs were bothering her.
He didn't expect the situation to be much more serious than he thought.
"Hiro, what should we do?"
