"why?"

Two voices appeared at the same time, one of which was from Dutch.

"No reason." Levi said coldly. She took out a pair of handcuffs and handcuffed Shen Ye.

Then he made a gesture of invitation and said, "Come with us, my fellow... countrymen."

Chapter 59! Hostage Rights

On the sea, the torpedo boat was moving forward at a high speed. Okajima Ryoro stood at the stern, looking at the merchant ship getting farther and farther away from him, and shouted in distress: "Why did it become like this? What is going on?"

Then he turned around and looked at Shen Ye, and shouted again: "Shen Sang, say something!"

Shen Ye leaned against the wall with a relaxed look on his face, looking leisurely at the seagulls in the sky, completely ignoring the shouting Okajima Ryoro.

"Relax, Okajima. Ordinary people don't have many opportunities to ride on a torpedo boat!" Shen Ye spoke after a while. The torpedo boat was very fast and the sea breeze made him feel very comfortable.

"I don't want this opportunity. I'm just an employee. I just want to work hard, find a gentle woman to marry and have children, and then live the rest of my life honestly." Okajima Ryoro shouted angrily, but he knew that all this would be in vain, because it was very likely that the thing that would get him a promotion and a raise would be snatched away, and that thing was now in Levi's hands.

Levi looked at the CD she found in Okajima Ryoro's bag and handed it to Dutch: "This should be it."

Dutch took the disc, returned to the cabin, picked up the transmitter, and called on the already connected channel: "This is the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce, calling Balalaika, the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce calling Balalaika, can you hear me?"

"The signal is very good, Dutch." On the other side of the communication channel, a tall and slender lady sat elegantly at the desk, supporting her chin with one hand and holding the phone with the other: "Did you get the prey?"

"Of course, although there were some minor incidents in the middle, it went smoothly," said Dutch.

"As expected of the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce, they are really quick and efficient." Sister Yu chuckled, "Then let's deliver the goods at the agreed time and place."

"no problem."

Dutch nodded and ended the communication...

After the torpedo boat left the other side of the sea at high speed, its speed gradually slowed down, retaining only a small amount of power, allowing the boat to sail at a low speed along the ocean current to save expensive fuel.

In the cabin's lounge, Dutch was complaining loudly to Revy.

"Levi, I don't mean to blame you, but what do you want to do by tying them up?"

Levi sat on a box of wine in an arrogant manner, and her tone was particularly irritable: "Dachi, you don't understand at all. After all the trouble this time, the commission was only 20,000."

She raised two fingers at Dutch. "It's only 20,000. How much can we earn after deducting the fuel cost of the speedboat? I just want to earn some ransom as a subsidy. Is that wrong? He is an employee of Rising Sun Heavy Industries. He must be very valuable."

"Levi, your idea is too naive." In a small compartment in the lounge, Beni, who was operating a computer, stuck his head out of the door and said, "Kidnapping is not a decent business. It will lower the grade of our Chamber of Commerce."

"Do you want to die, Beni?" Revy said angrily.

"I don't want to." Benny lowered his head and continued to do his own thing.

"Okay, Levi, what Beni said is right." Dutch calmed Levi down and continued, "Besides, even if we want to earn the ransom, who will negotiate with the R side? You? And do you know their phone number? To put it another way, even if the other party is willing to pay the ransom, we don't have a free bank account. We can't send someone to collect the cash, right?"

Dutch's words made Revy angry. She stood up, kicked the wooden box with empty bottles in front of her away, pulled out her pistol and pointed it at Okajima Ryoro who was locked in the corner, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Okay, I know, now I'm going to kill him and throw him into the sea, okay?"

"No, don't kill me." Okajima Ryoro raised his head buried in his knees and said pitifully.

"Humph, you're such a coward, how can you be called a man?" Levi waved the gun around, but ultimately did not shoot. After cursing with contempt, she sat back down.

Seeing Levi regain her composure, Dutch breathed a sigh of relief. When he took out a cigarette and was about to take a puff to calm his nerves, he accidentally saw Shen Ye who had already lit a cigarette and was puffing away.

He thought about it, sat next to Levi, and asked in a low voice: "That guy named Okajima is okay, after all, he is from Asahi Heavy Industries.

But why did you tie him on board? We don't know anything about him."

Revy didn't say anything. In fact, she didn't know either. After thinking for a while, she waved her hand vigorously and said, "I think he is more valuable."

"Really? I don't think so." Dachi took a look at Shen Ye's clothes, which were very ordinary.

"That's you. Sometimes women's intuition is very accurate." Levi glared at him and said.

"Well, maybe you are right." Dutch shook his head, not wanting to talk to her anymore. He stood up and walked to Shen Ye and Okajima Ryoro.

Looking at the two, Dutch hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and finally said to Okajima Ryoro, who was still feeling lucky to be alive, "Hey, you unlucky guy, let's go upstairs and have a cigarette to calm you down."

Without caring whether Okajima Rokuro was willing or not, she grabbed his collar and left the cabin.

As for Shen Ye, Dutch didn't even ask, because he didn't dare to let this man out of Levi's sight. It was too dangerous to do so. Even though Shen Ye's hands were handcuffed with metal handcuffs, he didn't dare to take the risk.

After Dutch brought Okajima Ryoro up to the deck, Levi suddenly moved the wooden box that she kicked away in front of Shen Ye, sat on it with a big horse and a golden knife, and stared at him coldly...

……

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.

At this moment, the torpedo boat finally stopped and landed in an abandoned dock.

Levi jumped off the boat first, followed by Shen Ye who looked around curiously.

“Is this Roanapura?”

"Do you know this place?" asked Dutch, who jumped down next.

"I've heard of it. Rumor has it that this place is a paradise for gangsters and mercenaries, a lawless zone." Shen Ye said.

"Yes, this is indeed a no-man's land." Levi turned around and said, "So you'd better be careful and don't do anything to annoy us, otherwise I will kill you."

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention." Shen Ye nodded indifferently.

"Mr. Dutch, where are we going?"

Ryoro Okajima jumped off the deck following Dutch. Although his emotions had calmed down a lot after Dutch's counseling, he still felt panic after hearing the conversation between Shen Ye and Levi.

"Let's go to a drinking place." The one who answered his question was Benny, who was walking past Okajima Rokuro with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands in his pockets.

"Drink...drink?" Okajima Ryoro was confused: "But we are hostages!"

"But hostages also have the right to drink." Shen Ye walked up to him and nudged him with his arm: "Maybe there will be some exciting entertainment!"

Chapter 60! Yellow Flag Bar

……

Roanapura, the most chaotic city in Siam, is not an exaggeration to be called the capital of sin in the world of Black Lagoon.

Here, gangs and killers are everywhere in every corner of the city, and the law has almost no effect on them, like a piece of waste paper.

Therefore, fights are the norm here, and gunfights are commonplace, but at the same time, this is the freest region in the world, so free that the safety of life cannot be guaranteed.

On the way to the bar, Shen Ye looked around with interest. Everywhere he looked, there were prostitutes dressed up in scantily clad clothes soliciting customers on the street, drunkards lying on the ground but still drinking from the bottle, drug addicts who were in a daze and tortured by certain drugs, and... the most common gangsters here.

"It's so messy!" Behind Shen Ye, Okajima Ryoro exclaimed. The unique scenery here really scared him. He could not imagine that there was such a disordered city in the world.

"There is absolutely no order here," he added.

"That's why this place is called a paradise for gangsters and mercenaries." Shen Ye said without looking back, "Smuggling, drug trafficking, arms trafficking, gambling, and pornography, all of which are illegal in other normal countries, are legal here.

Well, that's not appropriate. There are no legal constraints here, so there's no question of whether it's legal or not.

Also, I want to remind you that although this place is chaotic, it is not without order. Lawlessness and disorder are two different things. "

"Why do you say that?" asked Okajima Ryoro.

"Do you want to know?" Shen Ye turned around and looked at him.

"Of course." Okajima Ryoro nodded.

"Look over there." Shen Ye pointed at the gang members who looked ferocious and gathered in groups of two or three and said, "Do you know who they are?"

"As for the mafia, there are also gangs in Japan," said Okajima Ryoro. In Japan, the mafia is not uncommon either.

"It's true that they are gangsters, but they have another identity." Shen Ye continued.

"What's your identity?" asked Okajima Ryoro.

Shen Ye smiled and said nothing, but just pointed to the side of the road because something happened there.

A prostitute, with only a bath towel covering important parts of her body, ran out of a roadside house. She looked at the street and ran to the gang members not far away. After saying a few words, the gang members rushed into the house. Not long after, they dragged out a client, beat him severely in front of the prostitute, and then took the wallet from the client and threw it to the prostitute.

"See? This is their other identity, manager, or one of the managers of this city." Shen Ye said.

"It's...it's incredible. They seem to be fulfilling their duties as police officers." Okajima Ryoro looked shocked.

"In fact, you are right. They do fulfill their police duties in some aspects." Shen Ye retracted his gaze and continued to speed up to catch up with Levi and others. He continued: "If you switch those illegal businesses with normal businesses, and then switch the identities of those gang members, you will find that they are so similar."

Okajima Ryoro was silent, not knowing how to start for a moment. His three views were severely impacted.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. As Dutch and others stopped, they arrived at their destination.

yellow flag!

Yellow Flag Bar.

It is also the worst bar in Roanapura, no, it is the worst bar in the entire Black Lagoon world, no doubt about it.

Levi and his friends were regulars at this bar. When the security guard at the door saw them, he greeted them and opened the door for them.

Following them in, Shen Ye frowned immediately. The bar was too noisy, and the air inside was mixed with various smells, which made him sneeze.

"First time here?" Levi looked at him with amusement.

Shen Ye shook his head: "No, but every time I enter such a place, I am not used to it. Generally speaking, if I want to drink, I will find a very quiet place."

"That's too boring." Beni said, "Drinking requires atmosphere."

As they were talking, several people came to the bar. After they sat down one by one, Levi slapped the wooden bar and shouted, "Three glasses of whiskey, with ice, and don't put anything else weird."

Then she asked Shen Ye and Okajima Ryoro: "What about you? What would you like to drink? Order anything. It's my treat."

Shen Ye didn't know much about foreign liquor and didn't like to drink it. He wanted to order a cup of green tea, but there was none here. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll have whiskey on the rocks too."

"Me too." Okajima Rokuro raised his hand.

"Very good, wise choice." Levi slapped the bar again: "Five glasses of whiskey on the rocks."

Soon, five glasses of whiskey on the rocks were placed in front of them.

Levi picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

She let out a long breath, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and said, "Great! On such a hot day, you should drink something that makes you happy."

Shen Ye took a sip, feeling the different taste from white wine, shook his head slightly, and then swallowed the wine.
