Chapter 131: The Sky Tree Robbery
Edith's silk feet are soft and stinky, and this breath can only be tasted by connoisseurs, but fortunately Zhang Su is one of them.
"The people of the Fujikawa group are ruthless, they have already tried an assassination attempt, this matter is kept secret for the time being, and the impact may be too great, knowing that even at this moment, there are more than 1,500 tourists stranded in the New Sky Tree, and doing anything will alarm the whole of New Tokyo. Only a handful of plainclothes attempts were made by the Metropolitan Police Department to infiltrate the New Sky Tree. Edith said.
"I've heard that you want to make New Tokyo a crime-free and safe city." Zhang Su said.
"Yes, the Metropolitan Police Department has hired a lot of spies to disguise them as high school girls so that others will not be able to detect their true identities." Edith stretched her toes into Zhang Su's palm. Zhang Su put on red high heels for her.
Zhang Su nodded slowly, thinking quickly.
The new Tokyo is like a neon-lit powder keg that can detonate at any moment.
The Fujikawa gumi are the leaders of the underground forces in New Tokyo, and an all-out war with them will make the situation in New Tokyo worse, so it is best to solve it in a covert way.
"I need someone I can trust in this matter." Edith said, "I've left Kazama Yoshikai to take care of it. β
"I'm going to see it too." Zhang Su said. He could have bought a ticket to the new Sky Tree.
"Are you up to the task?" Edith asked.
"I'll do what needs to be done." Zhang Su nodded.
Edith stood up on her high heels, leaned forward, and her gaze fell on Zhang Su through her dark eyelashes.
Her pleasant scent enveloped Zhang Su, and then she reached out and her manicured nails slid down his chest.
"Take care of yourself outside." Edith said in Zhang Su's ear.
Zhang Su felt his heart beat faster, and as Edith stared at him, he felt the heat quietly rise from his skin.
"It's time for me to go." Zhang Su hailed a floating taxi.
"And I'll stay here until you come back." Edith's fingers shook gently in the air.
Zhang Su looked at Edith.
Fortunately, he now knew that Edith was in danger and was able to get out in time. Before, he was completely in the trap and had no autonomy to speak of.
It also means that he can treat Ettis as an equal this time.
"You must have something to worry about." Zhang Su said.
"Of course." Edith said quietly, "I won't tell you, though. β
"That's right, in terms of your strength and your level, the challenges you face are also extremely dangerous, and they may not even be accommodated by this world, and it is useless for me to know. But I hope I can get stronger and overcome the obstacles! Then, I will get to know you thoroughly, know the problems you are facing, share your sorrows, and then we will talk about 'love' again. Zhang Su said heroically.
Edith chuckled.
She never thought that Zhang Su would say such a thing, nor did she think that a man would be willing to make such a claim.
Edith has crawled in front of countless people, but Zhang Su wants to be on an equal footing with her.
"Live your own life first, and then talk about saving me...... Fool. Edith turned her back.
The vehicle gradually came from the air, and Zhang Su left the "Yaole Palace" hotel by car and returned to the children.
After Zhang Su left, Edith dressed neatly, tied her hair into a bright red ponytail in the mirror, and then she put on her high heels and sat upright in a chair.
She asked the drone to prepare herself a martini and took a sip.
"Come in." Edith snapped her fingers, and today's business was not settled.
A white mist flickered in front of Edith.
She saw a tall, pale figure dressed in a gorgeous and delicate suit.
"Greetings to you, honorable one." The monster's face was almost skeletal, with deformed features, high cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, and a faint golden glow where it should have been.
"Hello, Mr. Fortunado." Edith whispered.
Mr. Fortunado shook hands with Edith gently, cold fingers almost piercing Edith's skin.
Its gaze fell on all the valuable things in the room, and it went to inspect every watch, every gold cup, and every piece of jade, and the torso under the suit kept surging in a corrugated pattern.
"You shouldn't be in New Tokyo at this time." Edith said.
"I was summoned by the Anxin family."
"What sacrifices have you prepared this time?" Edith asked.
"I haven't seen it yet, but I hope it's sweet food. My ROI on them is quite impressive. Mr. Fortunado turned his head, "I have confidential matters with them to continue working with, and although it is a small contract, it needs to be handled with caution. β
"There's someone in their family who took someone's heart, someone I don't want to lose." Edith put her hand on her cheek, her eyes occasionally hollow, as if she had lost focus.
"So you're going to allow me to do something in the Anxin Hospital." Mr. Fortunado turned his head.
It let out a burst of laughter, and gold coins poured out of its throat and landed on the ground with a loud rattle.
"You came to the world according to the contract, I don't care, I won't kill you this time." Edith gestured tiredly.
"Goodbye. Honorable. "Mr. Fortunado disappeared with amusement. As long as you follow the rules, you can avoid death.
Edith thought there was still something she hadn't said, but anyway, she was tired.
She put her feet back in her chair, remembering what Zhang Su had done last night.
Pain, of course; Happy, that is more abundant. Her legs are still numb now, and many of her movements are strong, so as not to let Zhang Su see the joke.
At this moment, she found that she missed him very much, but Zhang Su still left, as if she had never been here, and no matter how much she could, things would still not change.
There was a feeling of silent touching in his heart, could Zhang Su rush to a sufficient height? That's tough.
What's more, Zhang Su is still obsessed with the silly lotus mist.
Edith was puzzled at the thought of it.
I just live a peaceful life, why did I suddenly become an ex!
β¦β¦
Zhang Su returned to the corridor on the 30th floor of the Sky View Hotel.
Once again, it was confirmed through direct injection in the cylinder that Edith was not human, and it was impossible for humans to have so many complex abilities; Not a witch, no path with the same power as Edith; It's hard to say it's a demon, Irini's death is vivid, and Edith has endured a lot, but she hasn't burned herself.
Back in the room, the bright red flocking carpet was particularly soft to step on, and the automatic welcome robot Kailuo stepped forward to greet Zhang Su and bring Zhang Su lemonade and today's menu.
Zhang Su picked up the cup and found that the children were playing and fighting, and Yuanori turned into a kitten again, jumping up and down, and the others tried to chase her.
"Ah, teacher!" Saho saw him, "You're back!" What are you doing? β
"Children have the happiness of children, and adults have the happiness of adults." Zhang Su still remembers that Saho was messing around in the aquarium yesterday, but if he doesn't mess around, it's not like Saho.
"Then you're here to help us catch the Edgeweave Cat!" Saho ran over and tugged at Zhang Su's coat.
"There's more important things to do." Zhang Su rubbed Saho's hair, "Follow me." β
Zhang Su returned to his room to prepare, and Shui Li appeared from the shadows, his face expressionless.
"Mizuri, I'd like to talk to you about the new Sky Tree." Zhang Su said.
"I've got the information." Shuili said.
"Why? Waitβyou followed me all the way to the Palace of Yaole Palace? Zhang Su recalled that Shuili always kept moving.
"Yes, I've been waiting for you to summon me to join me." Shuili said.
Him, Shui Li, Edith? A flash of fantasy flashed through Zhang Su's mind, but he was soon disillusioned again.
"What's in it?" Saho asked curiously.
"Join the action." Zhang Su changed the subject.
He led Saho to the glass window of the hotel and pointed to a distinctive white tower in New Tokyo.
"What's that?" Hatsuho stands on tiptoe.
"That's the New Sky Tree, it's now infiltrated by the Fujikawa group, and a ninja has infiltrated it." Zhang Su said.
"Or maybe it's a rebel from a certain village who would be hired by the Fujikawa gumi to do such an evil deed." Shuili said.
"The New Sky Tree is a landmark here, and I want everyone to have a good time going up there, but right now, the tower is being blackmailed by the Fujikawa group, so I want to go over and help find out where the ninja is. Saho's shadow magic can help. Zhang Su said.
"Yay! I'm also a master of the action team! "Haupui is eager to try.
"Mizuri, you still want to meet Chiyo Fujikawa." Zhang Su looked at Shui Li.
"Yes, Chiyo-sama and I have known each other since childhood, and it would be nice if we could see each other again." Water Glass Road.
"Chiyo's recent movements, can you find it?" Zhang Su asked.
"After solving the New Sky Tree incident, I will definitely try my best to find it." Shui Li's eyes were very determined.
For Fujikawa Chiyo to recapture the Fujikawa group, this matter may also come to a conclusion.
ββ¦β¦ Without further ado, let's check out the new Sky Tree. Zhang Su set off. Out of their sight, the Fujikawa gumi must be plotting more trouble.
Floating taxis depart from the Sky View Hotel and take them to the New Tokyo Sky Tree, a 20-kilometer journey that costs 2,000 yen.
Along the way, Zhang Su also recalled information about New Tokyo.
[Memory of "New Tokyo": The old Tokyo was completely destroyed in the Demon War and lost the meaning of reconstruction, so the Dongming Province rebuilt a new megacity on the coastline, planning a futuristic developed city from scratch with a population of more than 40 million]
[Remembering "Old Tokyo": a dilapidated city behind a vast coastline, scarred, damaged historic buildings with little funds for repairs, vast slums, garbage dumps, and scattered satellite towns]
[Memory "Dark Zone": New Tokyo's extraordinarily large underground infrastructure, connected to the subway of old Tokyo, extending an extremely vast underground community, with no order at all, and the people on the ground talking about it are full of gangs, black markets, and wandering witches]
Fujikawa-gumi is one of the gangs that operate extensively in the Dark Zone, and their network is even more complex, allowing them to hide in the depths of the Dark Zone even if forces such as the Metropolitan Police Department on the ground want to hunt them down.
So far, the children have seen the glamorous new Tokyo, and they have no impression of the old Tokyo and the dark area, which is a good place for Zhang Su to be, lest they leave too many negative impressions of the outside world.
"It's so beautiful! Can we have that too? Saho pointed to a shuttle flying around them.
It has a shiny appearance, slightly larger than a car, and has a humming engine at each of the four corners that propel it to glide lightly through the sky.
Shuttles are more agile than airplanes, and they can take off and land vertically without the need for runways, making them more suitable for three-dimensional cities like New Tokyo.
"Okay, I'll see if I can order one." Zhang Su watched.
Still lack of money. An entry-level shuttle costs 40 million yen, and Zhang Su only has about 20 million yen on hand, so he can only buy it when he has the next opportunity to make a fortune.
It looked quite spacious in Anxinin, but when I arrived in New Tokyo, the first good place, the feeling of poverty came up again.
