"Qi Wu Zongxuan?"
Hearing this name, which was definitely not unfamiliar, Noah frowned very obviously, and did not hide his disgust for this name, or rather for the owner of this name.
The Son of Heaven didn't expect Noah to react like this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"What? Has President Noah ever met Qi Wu Zongxuan? ”
"No, I haven't met him." Noah's furrowed brow gradually relaxed.
"However, even if we haven't met, I believe that the name Qi Wu Zongxuan, no matter who it is, will be more or less impressed."
The Son of Heaven nodded in agreement.
In this country, which used to be called Japan, there are now five areas where humans can live, except for the unexplored areas occupied by protozoa.
Tokyo.
Sapporo.
Sendai.
Osaka.
Hakata.
In each of these five regions, five heads of state rule over each of these regions.
The Son of Heaven was the ruler of the Tokyo area.
And Qi Wu Zongxuan was the ruler of the Osaka region.
Noah really didn't meet the ruler of Osaka, but he did contact him twice on the phone.
One time was after Fairytail was established and gradually made a name for itself.
One was recently, when he killed Scorpio and made the bullet's storage public for use in the confusion.
So, Noah is no stranger to the name.
The Son of Heaven seemed to have guessed the reason for this, and spoke with some distress.
"Actually, President Qi Wu suddenly asked us that he would come to the Tokyo area in the near future, and he hoped that we would prepare a meeting."
"Talks?" Noah was stunned and confused.
"As far as I know, there seems to be no contact between the Tokyo area and the Osaka area for the past few years, right? Why do you suddenly ask for a meeting? ”
"I don't know." The Son of Heaven hesitated to glance at Noah.
"But, I wonder if the other party is coming for President Noah?"
"Me?" Noah pondered for a moment, then shook his head in denial.
"No, it shouldn't be, maybe Qi Wu Zongxuan doesn't mind meeting me directly, but I don't think this time, his real purpose will not be me."
"Really?" The Son of Heaven lowered his eyes slightly.
"But he chose to visit at this time, which makes me a little uneasy."
"Uneasy?" Noah tilted his head, looked at the Son of Heaven, and wondered.
"Why?"
Suddenly, the beautiful princess looked like she was suffering, and after a while, she spoke in shame.
"Because, Mr. Kikunojo is not in the Tokyo area right now."
Hearing this, Noah's brows raised slightly.
"In other words, without that old man, you wouldn't dare to make contact with those big people?"
"I don't think I'm mature yet, but I'm not scared because of a meeting." The Son of Heaven said to Noah with a little reproach in his voice.
"I feel uneasy just because President Saibu and Mr. Kikunojo were political enemies who had a deep relationship before the Great War, and for him, the opponent in the Tokyo area should be Mr. Kikunojo, not me, who has just come of age."
"I see." Noah pretended not to see the reproach of the Son of Heaven, and said to himself.
"For Qi Wu Zongxuan, the real threatening opponent in the Tokyo area should be the old man, but this time he saw that the old man was not coming at this time, it seems that he didn't just want to come over to test something or conduct some regime negotiations, but for another purpose, do you feel uneasy?"
"Yes." The Son of Heaven raised his head and looked up at Noah, who was more than a head taller than himself, and his holy face seemed to radiate light.
"So, I hope that during this time, President Noah will always protect me as a bodyguard and attend the talks with me."
"Coming with you as a bodyguard?" Noah hugged his arm and Shi Shiran asked.
"Why did you choose me?"
This is also the biggest question in Noah's mind.
Aside from other factors, Noah is not a good choice for the duty of guarding alone.
The reason is also very simple.
Although Noah once obtained a police license for convenience and is considered a police officer, he has not had his own initiator so far.
As we all know, the initiators possess powers far beyond those of humans.
Therefore, even if you want to pick a guard, the Son of Heaven should also pick those who have a strong initiator (initiator) partner, and the IP ranking is relatively high, and the powerful police are right, there is no reason to choose Noah, who has no partner, and the IP ranking has not been promoted because of this.
In addition to this, there is another problem.
"Don't you have regular guards by your side?" Noah asked.
"I heard you have your own escort."
"I was about to introduce them to you."
The Son of Heaven said this, greeted Noah, and led him out of the room and to the outside of the room.
Outside the room, a group of men dressed in white solemn clothes and numbering about six people were standing in a neat line.
As if they had been waiting here from the beginning, Noah and the Son of Heaven had just come out of the room, and everyone present had all their eyes focused on the two of them.
Almost at the moment when these people's eyes converged on him, Noah felt an extremely subtle hostility and even murderous aura following, making his body pause, and he immediately returned to his casual appearance.
"President Noah."
The Son of Heaven closed the door casually and nodded to Noah.
"This is my convoy."
At the same time, in the escort, a particularly tall man standing in the center stepped forward and looked at Noah with a smile.
"I'm Howaki Zhuoren, serving as the captain of the Holy Guardian of the Holy Son of Heaven, and I've admired my name for a long time, President Noah."
With that, the captain of the escort team named Takuto Howaki held out his hand to Noah with a friendly expression on his face.
However, Noah didn't even glance at Takuto Howaki's outstretched hand, but instead raised his head and looked into Takuto Howaki's eyes.
In those scorpion-like eyes, full of aggression and danger, Noah very clearly captured the coldness and malice hidden inside.
At that moment, Noah glanced at Takuto Howaki, the corners of his mouth hooked an arc that made the temperature of the scene seem to have decreased a little, and he stretched out his hand and shook it with Takuto Howaki's hand.
"I'm Noah."
The smile on Takuto Howaki's face suddenly became more and more vigorous, and it seemed that he welcomed Noah, so that the Holy Son of Heaven, who saw the harmony between the two on the side, couldn't help but show a smile.
Only Noah could feel that as soon as he shook Takuto Howaki's hand, a strong grip immediately came from Takuto Howaki's hand.
If this is replaced by an ordinary person, even if it is a policeman who does not lack exercise on weekdays, he will be caught off guard by the other party so hard, and he will snort rudely.
It's a pity that Noah has been exercising for many years in terms of physical ability, and he has continuously strengthened himself with intestinal virus for an unknown number of times in this year, and his physical ability has far surpassed that of humans, and even far exceeded that of the Cursed Son.
Therefore, Howaki Takuto could only feel that what he was holding was not a palm, but an incomparably hard piece of steel, and the force he exerted on it not only came and went, but also shook back as if it was not forced, shaking his mouth painfully, and even his expression was slightly distorted.
Sensing that something was wrong, the Son of Heaven immediately stepped forward and chuckled at Noah.
"So, President Noah, can you please take on this guard mission?"
In an instant, Noah felt that the hostility and malice from the people of Howaki became more obvious.
Glancing at the incomparably beautiful Shengtianzi, and then at Howaki Takuto, an idea rose in Noah's heart, which made him relieved at the same time, and at the same time, he suddenly smiled and gave such an answer.
"Yes! I'd love to! ”
