Chapter 551: City Hunter
"So, that guy is trying to bang us!"
"That's pretty much it!"
"But I don't really understand, what conflict we have with him?"
"Yes, but not with him!"
Hannibal shook his head, then raised his dart and threw it at a target hanging not far from the room.
After seeing the dart hit the bull's-eye, he couldn't help but clench his fist and say yes, and then continued.
"It's the armpits that clash with us!"
"Armpits?"
Sitting on the couch with a beer and playing chess with a detachment commander, Jander looked up puzzled.
"What's that?"
"French, the nickname the boss gave them!"
Hannibal scratched his head, then explained.
"Why it's called an armpit, oh, holy, I see!"
Yang Deer and his comrades on the side reacted instantly.
"Because the French surrendered in World War II, exposing their armpits, right?"
"yes!"
The PCs can't deny the bad taste of their own bosses, but there is no discomfort, after all, there are more vulgar jokes made by the soldiers of the army.
"By the way, does the boss know that Habré is in trouble with us?"
"I don't know yet!"
"Why, what about others?"
"Went to a place that the priests of the Vatican would be so envious!"
「???」
Looking at Hannibal's strange expression, Yandel asked subconsciously.
"Heaven?"
"No, Japan!"
「???」
Looking at Jandel's confused eyes, Hannibal explained again.
"Because a fat man and a little boy fell from that place!"
"And it was dropped by our B29 bombers!"
Of course, Shepard certainly didn't go to Japan for fat people and little boys, nor for kabuki halls and pachinko marbles, although he would definitely try the latter two, but in fact, Shepard went for a man!
"Mr. Hojo, I've admired you for a long time!"
Under the leadership of Shueisha staff, Shepard finally met the famous manga artist who was only 25 years old at the time, and the creator of the three cat's eye sisters, Tsukasa Hojo, and the latter was stunned for a few seconds, but also reacted, grabbed Shepard's hand and said.
"I didn't expect you to come, Telika!"
"No, no, no, that word should be pronounced Brother Blow!"
Shepard, who liked all kinds of comics in his previous life, how could he give up this opportunity to urge the change in person, when the previous 0079 was released, Shepard spent a lot of money to get an English translation for himself for the first time, and even the premiere ceremony He attended it on the spot, and at that time, the high-level executives of Sunrise were surprised, and they didn't understand how the premiere of an animation would alarm the American garrison, but then they learned that the senior officer of the garrison was just a foil, a real big man, It was the smiling civilian man next to the other party.
In addition to Gundam, Shepard began to send letters to Shueisha when the three Maoyan sisters began to be serialized, because in his previous life, he was familiar with the three Maoyan sisters, and in this life, Shepard quickly became familiar with Hojo Tsukasa, and the frequency of communication could even reach once a week.
And two years after the three sisters of Maoyan were serialized, Tsukasa Hojo had a preliminary idea for a new work, but before he could tell others, Shepard had already written to him, suggesting that the next work could move closer to the aspect of the agent killer.
And this idea coincides with Tsukasa Hojo, who was thinking that his new work should create a character with a combination of multiple professions, with a variety of professional skills, surrounded by beautiful women, and constantly adventuring in the city.
Subsequently, he created a classic character such as City Hunter, but in this life, the creation of this character has a little more credit to Shepard.
Because the short test comic was well received in Japan, Tsukasa Hojo was also full of confidence in the creation of the new work, and for this reason, he also expressed in the letter that he would like to thank him for the trigger that gave him a lot of inspiration, but what he didn't expect was that the manga had not yet started to draw, and the pen pal had already come to the door.
"So what's going on, is City Hunter painting?"
"Well, not yet, but I've got a new drawing board and I'm getting ready to start soon!"
"Okay, good, you must give me the first book when the time comes!"
When the pen pals met, it was natural to have a good get-together, and Hojo Tsukasa also thought about inviting Shepard to a high-end restaurant for a good time, but he didn't expect to go out, and Shepard took him to the Rolls-Royce that had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
Hojo Tsukasa looked at the several black escort cars clustered in front and back of the car, and he was also a little overwhelmed, after all, this pen pal is really a bit big, not only six escort cars, but also a security guard, all of them are big men in black suits.
"This battle is still a bit rudimentary, you will settle!"
Shepard said this to the editor of Shueisha and Tsukasa Hojo.
"No, that, can I ask why you have so many guards?"
"Because I've been assassinated twice before, and I've been slightly injured!"
"Huh?"
"Then who did L?"
Tsukasa Hojo touched the sweat on his head, after all, he is just a slightly famous cartoonist at the moment, 25 years old, and there are still a lot of good times waiting for him!
"The first time it was the Soviets, we tried to overthrow the local regime on a small island, and then we were shot in the ass by a sniper!"
"Ahh
Shueisha's editors have begun to wonder if they are going to be silenced.
Tsukasa Hojo continued to ask.
"And what about the second time?"
"He was rewarded by the South American drug lord because we killed three of his partners! So he hired an assassin and hit the ass anyway!"
"And after that?"
"That guy is dead, too, you should have seen it on the news, it's called Pablo Escobar!"
"Well, Mr. Shepard, you're kidding!"
"Are you kidding? Of course not, otherwise what do you think these security guards do?"
Looking at Shepard's breezy appearance, the editor of Shueisha was already thinking about whether he should jump out of the car, after all, the background of this pen pal was really terrifying, and at this time, he suddenly understood why the president had such a strange expression when he told him the news!
Hojo didn't panic much, but asked again with some curiosity.
"So, Mr. Shepard, what do you do?"
"Career, let me think!"
Shepard pondered for a moment, then replied.
"Thirty years old, a military contractor!"
"Military contractors?"
Tsukasa Hojo is even more excited, this is all living material!
"You can also understand it as a mercenary!"
