Chapter 458 Ruthless Competition: Naoki Hanyu Has Never Feared Anyone

The next evening, Naoki Hanyu and Malena returned from the supermarket with bags full of shopping bags, and Malena couldn't help but smile.

Today, because of someone's presence, the men didn't show their usual fervor towards the widow during our shopping trip, and the women didn't openly say anything unpleasant.

It's fair to say that this day off was the most relaxing day she'd had in over a year.

Malena couldn't help but steal a glance at the man who was carrying ingredients; he even said he would cook for himself.

Naoki Hanyu, of course, noticed the other person's gaze.

"Please, could you please stop smiling as you come over to help?"
.
Soon after, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen. Naoki Hanyu was methodically preparing Chinese food, his sharp knife skills dazzling the eye. He even skillfully tossed the newly bought pot around in the pan.

Marlena helped out from the side, and the unique aroma stimulated her taste buds, so she reached out and took a little to sneak a bite.

"It feels very different from the Chinese restaurants in this town."

"Of course, they are catering to the changes in your European and American eating habits, while mine is authentic Cantonese cuisine."

"That's great, I wish I could do that too."

Naoki Hanyu arranged the vegetables and then handed the spatula to the woman.

"I'll teach you, you try it."

"No, I can't."

"It's okay, I bought a lot of groceries anyway."

The two looked at each other, and Malena finally took the spatula with great care.

"Don't blame me if I mess it up."

"of course."

Soon, a series of startled noises came from the kitchen.

"I won't bounce."

"Let me teach you. Give me your hand and feel the movement of your muscles."

Malena looked at the pot that was tumbling around, then turned her head to look at the man who was grabbing her hands from behind. The posture was just too ambiguous.

These past few days, I've felt like the other person is a wild beast, violently barging into my dark life.

Now that most of the debtors have been repaid and the company is showing signs of recovery, the only problem is the local gangs. At worst, the company can be sold to the Pacino family and the company can start over.

Naoki Hanyu suddenly turned his head and glanced at the woman, startling her so much that she quickly focused her attention on the pot.

"When you're studying, you have to concentrate and not get distracted by random things, even if I know I'm really handsome."

A quiet rebuttal arose.

"shameless."

Naoki Hanyu remained unfazed by this, suggesting that the escalating relationship between the two was intentional on his part.
.
At the dinner table, Malena looked at the man eating her terrible creation and suddenly asked a question.

"Clark, now that you have money, why don't you apply for a residence permit? With a company guarantee and your assets, the application shouldn't be difficult."

Naoki Hanyu stopped eating, looked up and met the expectant gaze of Malena, then shook his head.

"Marlena, I can only stay in Sicily for a month at most."

Malena's body trembled.

"A month?"

"Yes, I have my own things to take care of."

"."

Malena lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.

"That's right. Your performance is definitely not that of an ordinary person. You're certainly not a regular stowaway. I'll take a shower after I've finished eating. I'll leave some hot water for you."

Naoki Hanyu didn't say anything; he figured the other party would find out sooner or later anyway.

Let things develop to whatever extent they may before I leave, and let nature take its course.
.
That night, Malena tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. They had only known each other for four days, so why couldn't she accept his departure? After all, one encounters many passersby in life.

Just like her husband, whom she thought would accompany her for life, who suddenly died six years after their marriage.

Suddenly a strange noise came from outside the window. When Malena sat up and looked over, she saw that the window had been opened at some point, and a huge masked figure had crawled in and was looking at her.

Malena instinctively made her run away.

Unfortunately, dressed in pajamas, she was no match for an assassin. Soon, someone grabbed her from behind, lifted her up by her slender waist, and threw her onto the bed.

"what"

Her voice was interrupted by the other person covering her mouth, and the burly man used one hand to control both of her hands.

"No no no."

"Ms. Malena, don't be nervous. My boss would like to invite you over."

boss?

Malena realized who the boss the other person was talking about was, so she struggled even harder.

Upon seeing this, the masked man spoke calmly.

"Don't waste your time. A few of my buddies are going to find that arrogant kid. If you're willing to cooperate, the boss will spare his life. You don't want Clark Kent to die, do you? Speaking of which, it's hilarious that someone actually has a name like Superman."

Malena fell silent the moment she heard the threat. Fear actually calmed her down, making her realize what choices she should make. For example, if she had no power to change the situation, perhaps her sacrifice, which allowed the man to leave safely, would be a good thing.

The masked man smiled.

"That's good. I don't want to be rough with you, after all, you might become my boss's wife in the future."

The masked man was just saying that; his boss's character was such that he would at most keep the beauty in front of him as a mistress, and his real wife would probably marry that important person's daughter.

The masked man tied Malena's hands, taped her mouth shut, and then shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"Hey, have you guys taken care of Superman yet?" There was no response from the walkie-talkie, but instead a slow, chilling voice came from behind him.

"You know I share the same name as Superman, so why do you dare to cause me trouble?"

When did it appear on my back?

The next second, the masked man was lifted up and slammed hard against the floor. The force was so great that it almost made him lose consciousness. Although he didn't faint, his whole body felt like it was falling apart.

The masked man was lifted up again and stared at Naoki Hanyu.

What are you doing here? Where are they?

"Guess what would happen if an ordinary person faced a superhero?"

"."

Naoki Hanyu tossed the woman aside, then untied Malena from her restraints. Once her hands were free, the terrified woman clung tightly to Naoki Hanyu's waist.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, we're friends."

"Ah."

Malena suddenly made a startling statement.

"I want to leave Sicily."

"???"

Naoki Hanyu was taken aback.

"You're leaving Sicily?"

“Yes, the Pacino family is entrenched in Sicily. We can’t fight them, so we might as well leave. Clark, may I know where you will settle down?”

Naoki Hanyu saw the expectation in the woman's eyes again, and he had a feeling that if he could just give her a decent address, he might actually be able to take her away.

A woman who is willing to follow a man to a completely unfamiliar place has clearly made a decision, and Naoki Hanyu is not stupid; how could he not see that?

Obviously, he wouldn't do that; being forced to leave by a mere gang is not his style.

Naoki Hanyu pressed down on Malena's shoulder.

I cannot give you my address.

"."

Just as Malena was feeling disappointed, Naoki Hanyu once again made a surprising statement.

"I will kill the entire Pacino family for you."

"what?"

Malena looked at the man in front of her who was spouting such nonsense with great surprise, and grabbed his hand tightly to persuade him.

"Don't do anything foolish."

"It's not that I'm doing anything foolish. Actually, I don't take the Pacino family seriously at all, because it wouldn't be difficult for me to wipe them out."

Before Malena could speak again, Naoki Yuzuru suddenly kissed the luscious red lips in front of him, his hands encircling her slender waist, which felt wonderfully full and sexy.

The beauty in front of him initially resisted slightly, but eventually accepted it and even responded by entwining with him.

"Well"

In the darkness, Malena's shy expression did not escape Naoki Hanyu's admiration.

"This is one of the rewards I received for wiping out the Pacino family. We'll talk about the rest later."

"."

Malena was speechless, and Naoki Hanyu wasn't in a hurry to convince her.

If you switch identities, you'll understand. Even if someone you've only known for four days and have a slight liking for you says they can take down the biggest local power, he won't believe it.

"I'd like to borrow your warehouse."

Next, Naoki Hanyu took the five gangsters to the warehouse for interrogation. As a detective skilled in interrogation techniques, he was adept at getting the gangsters to talk.

An hour later, Naoki Hanyu wiped the blood off his hands and returned to the main house. The five gangsters had been dealt with, and he had obtained most of the information he could.

In addition, he was not unprepared. Ever since the possibility of conflict with the Pacino family, he had his avatar investigate the Pacino family through some dark web organizations. However, before he could make a move, the other party beat him to it.

His plan is simple now; there's no need for any step-by-step strategy. He just needs to physically eliminate everyone.

But before that, he needs to get some equipment first. As for where it comes from, the Pacino family happens to be in the arms business, so he can get some goods from them.

After all, it's best to do business with acquaintances.
.
Trapani, a port city in western Sicily, is a small city with only 70,000 inhabitants. However, Trapani is home to the Port of Trapani, one of Sicily's five deep-water ports, which can accommodate ships of up to 70,000 tons.

The port of Trapani leads directly northwest to Tunisia. The police force is already small and is often involved with organized crime, making it the most frequent smuggling route in Sicily. Simply put, it's largely unregulated.

The Pacino family owns a port property in Trapani called Port Roddy, in honor of the Pacino family's ancestor from two hundred years ago.

The Pacino family's business here is smuggling, including drugs, weapons, and other smuggled goods.

A Pacino family executive named Ludius is stationed at the port, controlling Sicily's largest arms transport route, and has hundreds of armed men under his command.
.
At 3 a.m., darkness enveloped the small city, with only a few bars still open.

In the port of Rodi, Ludius braved the winter chill to meet with some people of Middle Eastern appearance.

“Ibn, all your goods are here. You can check and keep them safe yourself. Otherwise, don’t blame me for sending too little if anything is missing. There are orders from above that the port will be shut down for a period of time after this batch of goods is shipped.”

Ibn, a bearded Middle Eastern man, patted the other man on the shoulder.

“Brother, I trust you to handle things. Although I don’t know what your new godfather’s intentions are, I still look forward to cooperating with you. We will also vote for your candidate in our immigration vote in Sicily.”

"Thanks."
