Although the number of Japanese Americans in New York is small, and there are no more pure immigrant communities like Chinatown and Flushing, it does not mean that Japanese Americans in New York do not have a place to gather.

Izakaya, one of the symbols of Japanese food culture, offers simple and sophisticated cuisine as well as alcohol.

It is the favorite place for Japanese Americans in New York to get together, and it is also the best cover for Japanese gangsters to the outside world!

Even the Hand is not immune, and their secret headquarters in New York is located in a membership-only izakaya in Hell's Kitchen.

Of course, for safety reasons, this izakaya is not open to the public.

The so-called members are just members of the Hand Association.

Nobu Yoshioka, who narrowly escaped his life from Anthony a few days ago, has been hiding in this izakaya.

He was also lucky, and after Ellis left, he was rescued by Erica, the number one ninja who rushed to New York from Japan with a mission, and Erica appeared in time.

Otherwise, he would have gone to see Hades a long time ago!

Although he survived, Erica and Anthony were both defeated and had to hide in this izakaya to heal during this time.

You must know that there are many enemies of the Hand Club, in addition to business (pornography, gambling, drugs...... Hell's Kitchen also has a bunch of 'non-humans' who like to scare gang members when they have nothing to do.

So Erica, after being injured, had to tread carefully.

It wasn't until today, when his injuries healed, that he called Yoshioka Shin, who drank heavily every day in an izakaya, and asked about what happened at that time.

"You mean, you lost the ninjutsu you practiced since you were a child and became a waste because you pawned it to a pawn shop owner?" Erica looked at Yoshioka Shin, who was sitting drunken across from her, in disgust.

"That's right, in order to survive, I not only pawned ninjutsu, but I didn't even leave my soul, and now I am just a shell of a walking dead sitting in front of you!" Yoshioka Shin said decadently after draining the sake in his hand in one gulp.

Obviously, because Ellis didn't say at the time that he would wait until he died to collect the soul, Yoshioka Shin managed to deviate for some reason......

"While pawning ninjutsu, I also pawned the soul by the way, heh!"

Erica glanced at Shin Yoshioka sideways, then pulled out a steel fork that she had with her and put it around his neck.

Seeing that he didn't react at all, he was easily caught by himself, and Erica was stunned.

Because the two of them have fought before, Yoshioka Shin's strength is not weak, and if he really wants to fight, he can't take him down without a hundred and ten moves.

Although it is not ruled out that his current performance is deliberate, combined with his embarrassed appearance against Anthony before, Erica also has to seriously consider what he said.

After all, if he had been one step late, he would have died at the hands of Anthony!

"Did you really lose your ninjutsu?"

"You think I'm going to make up a myth to lie to you for a katana?"

Yoshioka Nobu impatiently pushed away the steel fork that had cut the skin on his neck, and laughed at himself: "Besides, even if you don't have that katana, it won't affect you to take over the power of the Hand in New York!" ”

Shin Yoshioka is right, although Erica has been recovering from her injuries for the past few days and has not officially come forward to take his place.

But because the elite ninjas in New York before the Hand Club all died in the battle with Anthony, the lower echelons of the gang have long been subdued by the masters she brought.

It doesn't matter if there is the katana that Ellis took away, a symbol of the right to the Hand (New York).

But there are many things in this world, and you can't just look at the surface!

"That's because you don't know the importance of the katana."

Erica put away the steel fork and returned to the opposite side of Yoshioka Shin, "Since you talked about the mysterious person of the pawn shop owner, then tell me what his name is, and where is the pawn shop in New York?" ”

"You want to go to him?" Yoshioka looked at Erica in disbelief, suspecting that he was hallucinating.

Don't you understand what you just said?

The knife fell into the other party's hand, and he didn't give up and wanted to find the door?

Is it so easy to deal with characters who can deprive others of practicing ninjutsu for decades, and make people who are dying jump alive in the next moment?

"Tell me what you know, and you don't have to worry about other things!"

"I didn't know anything, he didn't say what the pawn shop was or where it was in New York!"

Yoshioka Shin looked at Erica and shook his head, then put down the wine glass in his hand, remembered what Ellis said before leaving, and was silent for a moment before he said, "But he is a half-race, and he is likely to have Chinese blood!" ”

"Are you sure?"

"There is a good chance, because he said before he left that he hates Japanese men, and only Chinese people in the world will only target Japanese men!" While Yoshioka Shin said this, he felt humiliated for the first time, and lowered his face that was red from drinking.

Erica, who also lived in Japan for a while, also understood the meaning of his words, and after showing a sneer, she said, "You have met him, and you have been in New York for so long, do you have any good advice?" ”

"Go to Vladimir of the Russian gangster, his brother Anatoly is dead, he doesn't know exactly what happened that day, you can take advantage of him."

Seeing that Erica got up and walked outside the house after getting the answer she wanted, Yoshioka Shin recalled Ellis's mysterious methods, shivered all over, and suddenly said hysterically to Erica's back:

"Even if you find that pawn shop, what can you do, in front of the pawn shop owner, we are just ants, and if you anger him, you will kill yourself!"

Standing outside the door, Erica shook her head and instructed the two ninjas guarding the door, "Watch him well, and don't let anything happen to him until you're sure if what he's saying is true or false." ”

Although Erica is still skeptical of Yoshioka's words, his idea of using Vladimir of the Russian gangster to find the mysterious pawnshop owner is still very reliable.

And after finding the pawn shop, if necessary, you can continue to use the Russian gangsters to test and observe yourself behind the scenes.

…………

At the same time, Ellis also returned to the first floor with the kitten.

"Mary, introduce you to a little one." After coming to the little mischievous, Ellis handed her the kitten.

"Is this a kitten cub?" The little mischievous stretched out her hands to take it, looked carefully for a moment, and stuck out her tongue to lick the little milk cat in her palm.

"That's right, a kitten with a lot of personality, the third member of our pawnshop!"

Ellis glanced at the little milk cat that had become unusually well-behaved in the hands of the little naughty, and then said, "Don't look at it as cute now, it will be angry, but it will turn into a lion's temper." ”

"Become a lion?" The little mischievous glanced down at the little milk cat in his hand, a little incredulous, "Cat God Best?" ”

"There's really some Best's blood."

Ellis nodded, then suddenly said, "By the way, it doesn't have a name yet, you can give it a name." ”

"Name it? Think about it! ”

PS: Ask for the cat's name......
