I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

In the dimly lit woods, the atmosphere was eerie and quiet. The search agent, with his hands raised in a gesture of sincerity and wearing a hood, said to Maba, "I have something to say, sir."

"Ha...ha...you can just say it there, but don't come any closer!"

Kiyoshi Baba pointed his pistol at him and shouted through gritted teeth.

"Mr. Bachang, you should realize the situation by now. You haven't eaten for two days and have been running day and night. The prosperity of your gang and your status of wealth and honor have all been ruined because of that colleague in the underworld. Now you have nothing. We just want that girl. As long as you cooperate with us, we will take you to see the person in charge when we receive the order. We can promise that we will return everything you have lost to you twofold. Why not have a pleasant cooperation between us?"

In the hazy light of the searchlight, the agent spoke with a pleasant and sincere tone. For a desperate and despicable gangster, such a promise was like a lifeline.

People in the underworld are not warriors at all. They are social parasites who crave fine wine and beautiful women. They fight to the death for money and status, and they are capable of doing all sorts of evil things for it.

Baba Kiyoshi seemed to have been struck by the words that had touched upon his inner torment. Darkness was such a test of the human heart. He had lost everything, everything he had fought so hard for over twenty years. These past few days, he had been filled with regret, regretting that he had chosen to take on these things for his brothers. Two days without a warm drink or a blanket was enough to drive a person to a mental breakdown.

They are souls in the darkness, zombies, people abandoned by society, not some great spiritual guide.

Maba lay sprawled on the mud, seemingly lost in mental anguish. Beside him, the little chick silently watched the middle-aged man whose expression was impossible to discern in the darkness. Now, his soul was in turmoil.

"Things have come to this point, it seems we have no hope left."

Kiyoshi Baba said to Hina Nitta.

"What do I care about the life and death of tens of millions of people in the future? I only care about eating well, dressing warmly, and sleeping soundly every day. Nobody is competing with me for the position of team leader."

Baba, with his back to the chick, spoke his innermost thoughts.

"Survival is the only right thing to do; only by surviving can there be hope. My soul is black."

In the absurd woods, Baba uttered despicable words, defining his own despicable life.

Upon hearing Baba Kiyoshi's words, the detective spread his arms and continued to persuade him, "Yes, you don't need to take responsibility for this."

In the black and white footage, Kiyoshi Baba suddenly aimed at his opponent and unexpectedly fired a shot!

When almost all the undercover agents thought that the notorious and cunning Kiyoshi Baba would surrender, he instead displayed the cunning and ruthlessness of the underworld with a sinister smile.

A single shot hit the opponent squarely in the head!

In an instant, bullets from the forest rained down on Baba Kiyoshi!

He was overweight and dressed in black trousers, leather shoes, and a white shirt—a style that seemed to be favored by the Ashikawa group. His elegant gun-wielding posture was adorned with bullet holes and blood.

"I did this just for my brother."

Baba said with a smile on his lips.

He covered the little girl's retreat to the edge of the deep forest.

Xiao Chu was supporting his obese body; he was Li Xuan's brother.

“My path has come to an end…” Baba Kiyoshi looked at Kohina, leaning against the rock, his lamp burning low, watching his friend’s sister in the darkness.

"Why are you crying? In this line of work, this is how it all ends. It's all destined..." Baba saw that Kohina's eyes were full of tears. Her expression was still very limited, but it was clear that she was grieving for him. He smiled and asked.

He had killed people, lent money at exorbitant interest rates, and betrayed his business partners, but he had never betrayed the brothers in his own group.

But unexpectedly, in the end, there were still people who shed tears for him.

He quickly wiped away the girl's tears and said, "Don't use that power, don't reveal it, or you'll never escape this curse. Greedy people will chase you to the ends of the earth..."

"I can no longer protect you. It's time to return you to him."

Baba lay in a pool of blood, telling the story of his final act of defiance.

"Go find Ah Xuan... Now that things have come to this, I can only pull him back again and make him take on the responsibilities he should bear... I've done my best. When you see him, please tell him for me... I'm sorry, it seems I've lost. Good luck to you..."

After explaining the situation, Kiyoshi Baba told Hina to run away to the east of the woods.

After leaving the horse farm, the cub ran away into the depths of the woods.

Within minutes, the sound of gunfire erupted behind them.

For a long time, the sounds of gunfire echoed through the sky, reaching the chick's ears.

How long it lasts indicates how long the horse farm can survive.

He burned with his dark soul, using his life to express his beliefs.

After several days of running away, and with the other side interfering with her using machines that could suppress her superpowers, Kohina felt so isolated and helpless for the first time.

After the last person beside her disappeared, she was surrounded only by endless darkness and forest.

The sound, like a final race at the racecourse, brought a sense of peace to the young horse.

However, after a while, the gunfire behind them completely subsided.

The little chick paused slightly in its tracks...

Suddenly, the sky turned completely dark, leaving only a lonely girl wandering in the woods.

The chick took flight, soaring into the air, desperately trying to return to Li Xuan's side.

The surrounding interference made her modified brain nerves dizzy. Like a lost child, she managed to escape back to her warm home while maintaining her last bit of consciousness!

Daylight broke quickly. Xiao Chu was covered in dirt. After escaping for four or five hours, she returned to her starting point. Relying solely on her memory, she blindly searched the streets to find her way back to the house Li Xuan had built.

With her shoes gone and her bare, dirty feet exposed, she was in a sorry state. After much hardship, she finally managed to return to the house where she could finally feel at ease, using the street name and house number she had previously identified.

However, just as she was trying to knock on the door and go in, she heard Li Xuan's voice coming from behind the door.

"Yonai, with you here, I feel truly happy."

"Yeah, me too. But is this really okay? Didn't you always say you wanted to protect your sister?"

“Xiaochu isn’t my biological sister, I have no obligation to protect her like this. She has the protection of the family now, that’s enough. I’ve done enough for her. She’s hurt me so badly, I don’t want her to ruin my last bit of happiness… Let her live on her own.”

In the cold street, Nitta Hina, in a daze, heard Li Xuan's words behind the door.

"Enough!" "Implicate!" Such familiar voices, under the dim sky, utterly shattered her last hope.

Indeed, she had been causing trouble for Li Xuan all along.

Perhaps... she shouldn't have run away here in the first place, to find the principal, to find the adults she thought would love her.

She shouldn't have let Li Xuan become the scapegoat...

Fifty years later, no one wanted her; fifty years ago, she met the same fate.

However, after all the hopes she had pursued for so many years were shattered, she felt completely exhausted, and her mind went blank.

Just as Xiaochu lost the meaning of life, her brain seemed to be connected to something, and suddenly, it was as if all control was taken away from her.

In the street, Right Ring led his staff to Little Chu's side, looking at the girl's figure, which was like a puppet.

"Recovery successful."

"That's what the technician next to You Jie said."

"..."

"After wasting more than a month, I finally obtained the main body."

With a smile, Youjie patted the motionless little girl and said.

“Go back. Your value is more precious than this city. Now, you should make good use of your power. Even an intercontinental ballistic missile can have its trajectory changed with just a thought. This kind of power is too tempting.”

Right-handed, holding the little girl's hand, disappeared into the vast snow fog like a ghost, leading the girl who was just one step away from returning home.

※※※※

Just one day later, Li Xuan and some others arrived at the woods, where they found numerous firefights and bloodstains.

In the end, Li Xuan still failed to catch up with Ma Chang and Xiao Chu.

As a result, in the streets, he learned the whereabouts of Baba Naito and his group from the street intelligence dealer he had been cooperating with, and... the old intelligence dealer gave him a free piece of information.

The chick has fallen into the hands of the Metropolitan Police Department and is being taken to a human experimentation area for advanced research experiments.

Ultimately, everything came to a head at the final point of conflict.

Li Xuan finally met this intelligence merchant who had never shown his face.

He was a very fat man, over sixty years old, with a full head of white hair, rarely smiled, and seemed uninterested in anything. Even if you had seen his face before, you probably wouldn't remember it after a while.

"Why did you suddenly meet with me directly and give me free information? This is not in line with your professional practices."

Li Xuan leaned against the wall, looked at the old man, and asked.

"Because you are about to die, as a long-time customer, I've come to see you off and also to give you a farewell gift."

The old man calmly answered his question.

Li Xuan paused for a moment, then replied expressionlessly, "Stop talking nonsense. I will live a good life."

"I've done fifty-seven transactions with you, and each time your goal was never to defeat the enemy. You're the only client I have who never asks about profits or information about murder..."

Doesn't this mean I respect life?

"This time, the only time you've asked for information with the intention of killing someone. You're planning to kill yourself."

"...Do you think I'll definitely die if I go there this time?"

"Pretty much, I never do business for free."

The old man's figure was equally unfathomable; his ability to obtain state secrets was what made Li Xuan suspicious of his background.

"When we hand over intelligence to others, we intelligence brokers also obtain new intelligence from our clients... I've been collecting intelligence on you. Worthless intelligence, intelligence for personal interest... I'm certain you'll do something unbelievable."

The old man seemed to be talking about something very ordinary, but the way he looked at Li Xuan suggested that he already knew the final outcome.

Li Xuan, wearing sunglasses, glanced at the old man in the snow and then ignored him.

He walked from Qiancang Street toward the mainland.

Snow and wind filled the air.

The old man watched the departing figure.

"Are you really going there?"

The old man asked one last question.

"I'm going to pick up my sister."

Li Xuan, with each step firmly planted and his body straight and strong, spoke to the old man.
