After eating rice balls, the drive to Residential Area No. 49 was almost halfway.
At this time, a long object wrapped in silk was handed over from the back seat. Xiaoxia carefully took it and held it in her arms.
Kazama drove without looking away, but he knew everything that happened in the car. She explained to Qin Jiandan:
"Young Master, the previous head of the Miyamoto family left behind two sabers. One of them was destroyed by the Young Master's "Wolf Roaring Bullet", and the other one is here. The lady wants to dedicate this knife to the young master to express the loyalty of the Luoying Group. "
Xiaoxia untied the silk and raised the knife with both hands with a slight hesitation.
In fact, Xiaoxia was quite resistant to Kazama's idea of dedicating her father's relics.
Although these two knives had been used by the monkey man Ajian before, which was already very embarrassing, Xiaoxia felt that it was easier to sacrifice her virginity than to offer the knives to the adopted son of the enemy who killed his father.
"Young Master! Please accept it. This is my...my sincerity!"
From an angle that Qin Jiandan couldn't see, Xiaoxia shed tears at the corners of her eyes. She still wanted to leave her father's few relics.
Kazama echoed from the side: "The sword of the previous head of the family was long and heavy, and it was impossible to use it with my young lady's arm strength. Young Master, you are proficient in many kinds of weapons. A sword paired with a hero is the true destination of this sword."
Qin Jiandan felt something was wrong.
The master once told him: the leader of the Luo Ying Group is an idiot. You don't need to pay attention to what she says or does, but you need to be careful about the staff around her. That little thing has a very deep palace, and she must think twice before making a decision on any request she makes.
Qin Jiandan fell into deep thought: Back then, Cao Cao offered his sword to kill Dong Zhuo. Why did Xiaoxia offer his sword now?
Ah I see! This knife is indeed strong and sharp, and can even cut out the white mark of my "Steel Armor Breathing Technique". If I greedily take it as my own, and go into battle to kill the enemy with the relics of the former Miyamoto, Yelong will Don’t everyone in the country know that I have a special relationship with the Luo Ying Group?
Wow, Kazama, you’re a bespectacled lolita! You talk to me about precious swords, but in your heart you want to play politics with me!
Qin Jiandan grabbed the blade with one hand, and Xiaoxia felt the weight in her hands lighten. She suddenly felt lost, as if a part of her body had been taken away.
However, Qin Jiandan quickly returned the knife.
"Although I know how to use a knife, I feel that it doesn't suit my personality as soon as I come into contact with it. It might not be the right time to use it on me. Why don't you, Xiaoxia, take it back to the Luo Ying Group for safekeeping? How about I borrow it from you in case I need it?"
Half of what Qin Jiandan said was true. The knife is a good knife, but the production process is not very humane. The monkey man Jian also sacrificed the blood of passers-by. I am afraid that there are many wronged souls entangled in the knife.
Xiaoxia didn't know that Qin Jiandan had political considerations. The girl was very happy when her father's belongings were found.
The young master actually returned the knife to me! This is a rare-to-find sword! Sure enough, the young master still likes me!
Xiaoxia's chest was filled with sweetness in an instant, and she even felt that even if she presented the knife to the young master again now, she would not be so resistant in her heart.
Anyway, the knife is too heavy for me to use, and since I will be the young master’s wife in the future, isn’t the young master’s knife my knife?
The ninja girl's cheeks turned red, and she sincerely swore to Qin Jiandan: "I understand! Whether it's a knife or myself, if you want to use it, young master, please just say it!"
The muscles under Qin Jiandan's eyes twitched. He felt that Xiaoxia was too enthusiastic as a subordinate.
This little girl, why does she always think of herself as my girlfriend... Do we know each other well? Were you instigated by your staff to act like this on purpose, so that the people in the "Shengzhi Group" and "Chouyun Group" would misunderstand that you have a special relationship with me?
You are stupider than I thought! There are only people from the Luo Ying group in the van now. Who do you want to show your performance to on purpose? No wonder Master has certified you as a fool and told me that no matter what you say or do, I don’t need to care...
※※※
At the same time, Sheriff Mu Yue was riding in a collector's luxury car, driving from District 12 in the inner city to District 12 in the outer city. For Qin Jiandan, it was approaching residential area No. 49 from another direction.
Different from last night's family gathering, Chief Mu Yue changed into the uniform she usually wears on duty. The Chief of Police ordered her to serve as a bodyguard for the Collector and escort him to remote places in the outer city for transactions.
Chief Mu Yue felt that this matter was suspicious, but the chief of police emphasized that "this is an internal family matter and needs to be kept strictly confidential" and told Mu Yue not to ask any more questions.
Because of this, her best friend Valle doesn't know Mu Yue's schedule tonight. She heard that Valle has been sent to perform other tasks.
"Uncle Collector, I heard that we are going to the outer city to buy paintings?"
Mu Yue sat alone in the last row of the luxury car. Although the seats were soft and comfortable, the whole space was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
The rear window glass is brown, and it is difficult to see the outside scenery clearly in the night. Mu Yue couldn't just turn on the super vision mode of her prosthetic eyes just to see the scenery, right?
The tall female assistant pushed the collector's wheelchair to the back row. This luxury car is tall and spacious. It is somewhere between a sedan and an RV. The interior and exterior decorations are very luxurious. There is also a seated toilet in the middle of the vehicle for the owner to use at any time.
Mu Yue's family also had several cars, but even when his father was still serving as deputy police chief, he had never ridden in such an exaggerated car. The old car that Nestor, the butler, and his father often drive now is even more incomparable.
In the driver's seat and the co-pilot's seat, two bodyguard bounty hunters can be said to be dressed in strange clothes. One of them drove, the other observed the surrounding traffic, and only occasionally talked in low voices.
The female assistant removed some shields with pulleys, fixed the collector's wheelchair opposite Mu Yue, and then went to prepare drinks for everyone.
The collector tilted his head leisurely and looked at Mu Yue's hands, with a passion for treasure hidden deep in his eyes.
"Mo Yue, I really want to go to Residential Area No. 49 to buy a painting. The "Van Gogh" agent told me that this painting is an unprecedented masterpiece, and I must go there in person before the painting can be sold to me. "
Mu Yue didn't have a good impression of the collector, but this task was assigned by the chief of police and had to be carried out.
"Who is Van Gogh's agent?" Isn't this a trap? I remember that settlement No. 49 is controlled by the clown group. They like to kill Easterners. Uncle Collector, you should be careful. "
The Collector laughed dryly, causing the two bounty hunters in front of him to laugh as well.
"Hahaha, Mu Yue, you are unfounded. The clown group has also done business with our Han family, and the two in front are not ordinary bounty hunters. If the clown group wants to attack me, I will have to destroy them."
Mu Yue immediately discovered the flaw in her words: "Since uncle has such a powerful bodyguard, why does he need me to follow him? If a melee breaks out, won't I, a weak woman, only be a hindrance?"
Hearing this strong niece call herself a "weak woman", the collector was stunned for a moment:
"I just want your hands... to help me take the painting back with your own hands! A beautiful painting full of despair is only worthy of being held by beautiful hands full of hope!"
Mu Yue felt that the collector's eyes were creepy. She took out a pair of gloves from the police satchel and put them on her left and right hands one after another.
Although it was just a police fingerless glove to increase friction, with ten fingers exposed, the collector frowned when he saw it, feeling that it was a waste of natural resources.
Mu Yue didn't want to discuss the topic of hands anymore, and looked behind the collector's wheelchair——
On the black leather wall where the wheelchair is fixed, flame-shaped zigzag grooves are dug along the edge of the wall, and large red crystals are placed in the grooves.
The Collector is in the center of the flames, like a god in a religious painting.
"Why is that wall so dark?" Mu Yue asked, "My eyesight is pretty good, why can't I see the wrinkles on the leather wall clearly?"
The Collector rapped his second knuckle on the wall behind him triumphantly.
"This wall uses carbon nanotube pigment, which is the darkest black. As for the reddest red, it is the specially processed high-purity phlogiston crystals above my head and around me..."
"High-purity phlogiston crystal!?" Mu Yue almost jumped up from her seat, "Isn't that an extremely explosive and dangerous product? How could uncle put such a thing..."
"Anxin, I said it was specially treated." The collector said, "The company has long mastered the method of making high-purity crystal safe, but the outside world doesn't know it."
Mu Yue was not reassured by this, because she vaguely saw that the phlogiston crystals placed around the collector in the groove of the leather wall seemed to have something terrible sealed in each one.
Unfortunately, the nearby light is absorbed by the carbon nanotube pigment and cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye. Moreover, the chief of police specifically reminded Mu Yue not to use "super vision mode" in the collector's car because it was "not very polite."
Mu Yue felt that the police chief's tone was unnatural when he handed down the task, but she did not believe that her uncle would betray her. After all, the police chief had been taking care of her for many years, and even her father, who had resigned himself to corruption, did not give up.
At this time, the female assistant brought two drinks. Mu Yue politely refused and said, "I'm sorry, I brought my own soda. I'm addicted to this taste and can't drink anything else."
As if eager to prove it, Mu Yue unscrewed the plastic bottle cap and took a sip of the soda she brought.
In fact, Mu Yue drinks soda just to replenish the sugar needed for her prosthetic eyes. There is no taste requirement at all. Basically, it just needs to be sweet. She just didn't want to drink the drink the Collector was offering.
The female assistant smiled generously and didn't mind. She handed one of the drinks to the collector. The Collector stopped after a brief taste and placed the remaining half of the drink on the right platform.
Then the platform "trembled", and Mu Yue, who discovered the truth, almost burst the soda in her hand!
That's not a platform at all, but the back of a black-skinned girl with animal ears! She was naked, her eyes were blindfolded, her limbs were locked, and she was kneeling on the car as a decoration. Because the hair and animal ears are also black, and the nearby carbon nanotube pigment absorbs light, Mu Yue was partially blocked by obstacles before, and thought it was just a sculpture with a funny shape.
"You... what did you do to her?" Mu Yue stopped using honorifics for the collector.
The collector's expression remained normal. Like the female secretary, he felt that Mu Yue had asked a stupid question.
"Mu Yue, I heard that you live in the police dormitory and have contacts with the Furui people - you are not influenced by the common people and think they are equal to you, right?"
Mu Yue felt her heart bleed. The black-skinned animal-eared girl in the car was somewhat similar to Valei. Judging from the ears and tail, she seemed to be a wolf.
The Collector picked up the cup from the beast-eared girl's back and used it like an ordinary piece of furniture.
"Mo Yue, it's impossible that you haven't read the law, right? Human trafficking is not prohibited in Huanshi City. Her parents were in debt, so they mortgaged her to me in order not to lose their identity in the inner city. I gave her a job as interior decoration of a luxury car. Is there anything wrong with my job?”
"Let her go." Mu Yue said seriously, "I will protect you and complete tonight's deal safely, but the condition is to let her go free."
"Hehehe - hahaha -" the collector smiled evilly, "You were so childish at the last moment."
The collector gave an order in the direction of the cab: "You guys, come here and look at Mu Yue! Before I buy a new painting, Mu Yue must be intact!"
