Tokyo Detective

Chapter 455 The Legend of Sicily
As Naoki Hanyu's voice rang out, a terrifying pressure filled the car, like a ferocious beast sitting beside the two of them—this was the aura of the outlaw.

Marlena composed herself and said.

"This is Marina di Lagusa, Sicily, Italy. We have rescued you from the sea and are now taking you to the hospital."

Hayden nodded. Although they had planned to hand the man over to the police and let them deal with what they thought was a stowaway, now that the man was awake, they couldn't say anything that would anger him.

Naoki Hanyu was a little surprised to hear that he had returned to Sicily. He remembered that when he jumped into the sea, he was closer to Greek waters and hundreds of kilometers away from Italy's economic waters. He never expected to be rescued by the Sicilians.

"Damn pelicans, those damn counterfeiters."

At this moment, Naoki Hanyu had already sentenced the black market dealer to death. He himself fainted after falling from a height of 7000 meters, so an ordinary person would have been dead.

"How did you manage to rescue me?"

Haydn answered truthfully.

“We pulled you out of the water while fishing in an area a hundred kilometers away. At first, we thought you were dead, but it was Malena who made the decision to save you. She is the owner and boss of the fishing boat.”

Naoki Hanyu changed his expression to a smile as if he had changed his face.

"Thank you. I don't need to go to the hospital. You can just drop me off somewhere."

They really are illegal immigrants.

Malena and Hayden were even more certain of this guess.

"Then let's park here."

The car stopped, and Naoki Hanyu opened the door to look around. As expected, the buildings were full of mid-20th-century style, with white, yellow, and orange colors. At the end of the road was a simple port, which was indeed Italian Mediterranean style.

Naoki Hanyu gave the two people in the car a deep look. He wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't repay a debt of gratitude. He would check their address tonight and send them some money as a way of showing his gratitude for saving their lives.

Naoki Hanyu exchanged a glance with a seagull standing on a rooftop not far away. The leisurely seagull instantly became an animal under his control. Thinking of the seagull, Naoki Hanyu recalled the culprit who had almost caused him to drown.

"Those pelicans."

Just as Naoki Hanyu was about to leave, Malena suddenly got out of the car and handed him 50 euros. Her expression was indifferent, but her gesture was quite heartwarming.

"I hope this money can help you."

"No need."

"Don't push yourself. You haven't eaten for two days either. It's better to fill your stomach."

"In that case, I will repay you."

"You don't need to repay me, just live well."

After the three parted ways, Naoki Hanyu actually took the money and went to a pizza restaurant to eat, using the money the other party had borrowed, since they would experience Naoki Hanyu's gratitude that night.

Unfortunately, without a cell phone, Naoki Hanyu could only control an avatar vacationing in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. The moment his consciousness shifted, Naoki Hanyu realized he was in the water, holding a large spicy snack in his hand.

Amazonian anacondas can reach a length of 7.5 meters and a weight of over 500 kilograms when fully grown.

The 7-meter-long snake in Naoki Hanyu's hand wrapped around the avatar, attempting to strangle it, but to no avail.

There was also a local director next to him looking at him with a look of utter disbelief.

"Mr. Yuzuru is like a god in our tribe's mythology, but I would like to ask you, if you don't intend to eat this anaconda, please let it go."

"of course."

As soon as Naoki Hanyu released the python, the huge creature darted into the river as if it had encountered a natural enemy, making the river water even more turbid.

At this moment, Naoki Hanyu envied his alter ego. He was fighting to the death in Europe, while his alter ego was traveling around the world. Who was the real person?

If the avatar knew the original body, it would definitely complain that it was all arranged by the original body, saying that it acted like it was on vacation, and now it's envious.

Naoki Hanyu sat back on the boat and took out his phone to start scrolling through messages.

For nearly two days, things were in turmoil outside, especially in Europe, particularly in Britain and Japan.

After arguing for a day and a night, Britain and America finally issued a joint statement claiming that the incident had nothing to do with America and was the work of a new terrorist organization.

Xiao Ying is indeed spineless; she gave in right away.

Naoki Hanyu checked the news in Japan again. The Prime Minister's death had naturally caused a huge uproar in Japan. Some people said that the Prime Minister was just an innocent bystander and that certain organizations wanted to attack the United States and Britain.

Of course, some people say it was the work of the Japanese Youth Salvation Association, but not many people believe it. After all, if a terrorist organization in Japan has this kind of power, it's better to believe that Japan has become independent and no longer relies on America.

Next, Naoki Hanyu called several acquaintances and learned that the cabinet government was selecting an interim prime minister, just like Tanaka Juzo did back then. He wondered who would be the interim prime minister this time.

As evening fell, Naoki Hanyu avoided the patrolling police and sat alone on the harbor railing, watching the sea.

According to the plan, he will stay in his avatar for a few more days before coming to Italy to switch back to his original identity. This is to avoid suspicion and prevent various forces from taking him into consideration. After all, his strength, reputation, money, and power are enough to make many countries take him seriously.

Naoki Hanyu patted his behind. He planned to travel around for the next few days, perhaps exploring all of Sicily, or sending a black market merchant to his death.

Just as Naoki Hanyu was passing through the area where fishing boats were docked in the harbor, a sudden argument caught his attention.

Turning her head, she saw Malena, whom she had met briefly a few hours earlier, holding a high-pressure water jet cleaner. Beside her, a fat middle-aged woman was cursing at her, while a burly middle-aged man tried to stop her.

"Peggy, it's fine. You can pay me back the wages later."

Upon hearing this, the woman known as Peggy flew into a rage and pointed at her husband, yelling.

"You have two kids who need to go to college, and you're saying you'll think about it later? I think you're completely bewitched by this bitch. Is it because she's willing to sleep with you that you can get rid of the wages you owe?"

The middle-aged man blushed instantly after being yelled at like that. His former boss's charming wife, the most beautiful woman in town, what man wouldn't want to have sex with her? But could he say it out loud?

"Don't talk nonsense. I just think it's wrong to bully a widow."

"Heh, no good. I bet you're just after her. Every stinky man in town wants to sleep with her, but Hardy, take a look at yourself in the mirror. What makes you think you're worthy of this bitch's bed? Those who can afford to help her pay off her debts are the ones who can, not someone like you who can't even afford your child's college tuition." "..."

The couple's argument didn't elicit anger from Malena; she simply lowered her head and ignored it, her eyes appearing vacant. It seemed she already had her own methods for dealing with debt collection.

Seeing that she had stopped her husband, Peggy looked at Malena again and said.

"If you can't pay back the money, then use your ship to pay off the debt."

Just then, a strange male voice broke in; it was clearly Naoki Hanyu.

"Gentlemen, what do you mean by blocking my boss?"

The three turned to look, and Malena's expression changed slightly in surprise. This person was still not leaving the town. Wasn't he afraid of being arrested by the police?
Seeing that the other man was taller and more muscular than her good-for-nothing husband, Peiqi felt a little weak.

"I'm yelling at the bitch who owes me money to pay me back, and now she thinks she's right to owe me money?"

Naoki Hanyu looked at Malena.

"Boss, how much money do you owe them? Has the court ruled when you are obligated to repay the money?"

“I owe Mr. Hardy a total of 7000 euros. The court ordered me to pay it back in installments over a year. I have already paid back 4000 euros, and the next installment is in two months.”

Naoki Hanyu looked at the middle-aged woman, stretched out his hand and clenched it, making a sound like metal scraping.

“Ms. Paige, I expect you to do as the court orders, or don’t blame me for slapping you.”

"."

Peggy was so frightened that she pushed her husband forward, but Hardy was intimidated by those terrifying eyes, so the couple hurriedly left, knowing that they wouldn't be in the right if the police were involved.

Malena looked at the person who was defending her with a complicated expression.

"Thank you for helping me."

"I haven't even repaid you for saving my life yet. I'm leaving now, you go ahead with your business."

Malena suddenly spoke up, trying to persuade her to stay.

Do you have a place to stay tonight?

Naoki Hanyu was a little surprised. Was this woman planning to arrange a place for him to stay?
"Why are you asking this?"

“You’re an illegal immigrant without identification. I can provide you with a place to stay, as long as you don’t mind the dirt.”

Naoki Hanyu was even more confused. Was he moving into her house so soon?

"You're offering me housing? You don't actually want to hire me, do you?"

Malena looked at the other person's "alluring" figure and finally nodded. She was going out to sea again the day after tomorrow, and the two fishermen from today's fishing trip probably wouldn't come back since the catch was so small. So she really needed the fishermen's help.

"I'm going out to sea to fish the day after tomorrow. If you'd like, you can stay and help out. Let me make it clear beforehand that wages will be distributed according to the earnings."

"Row."

Naoki Hanyu nodded in agreement. Hiring a fisherman in Italy would cost around 1500 to 2500 euros a month, and even more if it was a deep-sea fishing job, costing 3000 to 4000 euros. It was clear that the woman in debt couldn't afford to pay it back.

Since he's free anyway, maybe it wouldn't be bad for him to try fishing.

"Let me help you wash the boat, give it to me."

So Naoki Hanyu helped wash the boat, and women who saw him along the way would gossip about it.

"Look at this bitch, she's seduced another Chinese man. She's such a fickle woman."

Whether Malena heard it or not, Naoki Hanyu never saw any change in her expression.

Pretty tolerant, woman.

When the man looked at him with envy, Naoki Hanyu responded with a sharp retort.

As evening fell, Naoki Hanyu stared blankly at the dilapidated warehouse before him. This was the place Malena had mentioned as their residence. The wooden planks on the second floor looked like they would collapse if you stepped on them.

"This place is really nice."

"I'll go get you some blankets. I'll also bring out dinner when it's ready. I hope Mr. Clark won't do anything that might cause misunderstandings. I have surveillance cameras here."

"Okay, I get it now."

The two didn't have much interaction, but when the temperature suddenly dropped in the early morning, there was a knock on the warehouse door. When they opened it, they found Malena wearing a coat and carrying a few old quilts.

"It's getting cold, I'll get you some blankets."

"Thank you for your trouble. You're really bold to come and meet a strange man in the early hours of the morning. Aren't you afraid I might do something illegal to you?"

Malena gave the answer calmly.

"I have confidence in my judgment and will take responsibility for the decisions I make."

"."

Strange woman.

The next morning, Naoki Hanyu was setting fire to the woods in the yard, wearing only a single layer of clothing. Every time he exerted himself, his muscles underwent changes that were attractive to women. Meanwhile, Malena watched him from inside the house for a while before continuing to prepare breakfast.

In the afternoon, the other party actually rowed a wooden boat out to sea for several hundred meters, and then practiced not getting seasick there.

The two spent the day interacting in this strange way.
