"Want some?"
The man, whose back was to the newcomer, reached out and picked up a hamburger from his hand and asked.
"No, I've already had breakfast."
The person, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, walked up to him and stood beside him.
"I received news that Willie King from the Mainland Hotel was killed last night."
He said.
"Oh! Let me guess who did it, Dark Reaper?"
The man said with a chuckle.
"That's right, it's him. But those idiots at the Mainland Hotel think that Dark Night Reaper is one of our people."
He said.
"Haha~! They're really interesting. But if Dark Night Reaper were really one of ours, we wouldn't have to hide our identities like this."
The man smiled and said it, seemingly unconcerned about being misunderstood.
"This matter could be a big deal or a small deal. The High Table will definitely send people over to handle it, and some of our members may be exposed at that time."
"It's alright. Since the Dark Night Reaper killed them, let them go find the Dark Night Reaper."
"You know the Dark Reaper?"
"No, I don't know him, but I know how to contact him. One of our members has already made contact with him."
"Alright, I've already informed you about this. What happens next is none of my business."
"Tsk tsk~! How ruthless, Superintendent Du!"
The man turned to look at him with a smile and said.
Du Wen glanced at the other person coldly, then turned and left without saying a word.
"Hey! Don't be absent from the next gathering, or I won't be able to protect you anymore!"
Du Wen, who had taken a few steps, stopped when he heard the voice behind him, and said without turning his head, "I know, I won't go."
After saying that, his figure quickly disappeared from the rooftop.
The man smiled, then continued eating his hamburger while admiring the scenery in the distance.
......
PS: First update delivered!!!
Du Wen – Cold War 1
However, I'll write the Cold War storyline later; there's no rush.
Chapter 426: The Sunset Empire's Investigation Team Has Arrived! Poor Gu Zechen! Meeting!
In a castle in Europe.
The classical and grand hall has a nearly seven-meter-high ceiling and gold-painted pillars. Everything in sight is extremely valuable, with any single item costing far more than a few months' or even several years' salary for an average person.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who was sitting on the sofa chatting with an elderly man suddenly stood up and said:
"Excuse me, I have something I need to take care of."
The man behaved very politely.
The elderly man beside him smiled and responded, indicating that he didn't mind.
Then, the middle-aged man turned and walked to the side.
An elderly butler standing over there handed a satellite phone to the man.
The man took the phone and walked to the other end to answer it.
"Speak, what is it?"
"Something happened in Hong Kong; their leader was assassinated."
The man raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised, and said, "If I remember correctly, the person in charge over there is called Willie Wang, right? I chatted with him a bit at the last party."
"Yes, sir."
"How did he die?" the man asked. "Where did he die?"
"Right in the hotel, news came back from Hong Kong that the killer was suspected to be a member of the Brotherhood of Assassins."
"Oh! Those rats that like to hide underground?" The man sneered. "Alright, I understand. I'll contact Mr. Augustus. We'll see how things are handled later."
After saying that, the man hung up the phone, turned around and returned the satellite phone to the old butler, then smiled and went back to the living room to entertain the guests.
As for things like King Willie and the Brotherhood of Assassins...
That has nothing to do with him.
There's no rush to deal with it later.
...
late at night;
Ye Tianming put on a bathrobe and stood at the window, looking at the night view in the distance.
At that moment, a pair of slender arms embraced him from behind, followed by a soft body pressing against his back.
"Can't sleep?"
Ye Tianming turned around and asked Ou Yongen behind him.
"There are 27 cases going to trial tomorrow."
Ou Yongen hugged her boyfriend and pressed her face against his back as she answered.
"Nervous again?"
Ye Tianming turned around and hugged her, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying softly, "From the very first case until now, your success rate has been one hundred percent."
"Yes, that's why I get a little nervous before every court hearing."
"Ou Yongen said."
"Be more confident. Haven't you already learned most of your master's skills?"
Ye Tianming said with a smile.
Au Wing-yan's mentor, Kan Au-wai, is a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong and one of the most senior barristers in Hong Kong.
At the same time, Jian Aowei is also Ou Yongen's uncle.
Ou Yongen's deceased father was Jian Aowei's best friend who had risked his life for him.
Therefore, over the years, Ou Yongen has been learning from Jian Aowei and has learned most of Jian Aowei's skills. Even someone as strict as Jian Aowei is quite satisfied with Ou Yongen as his disciple.
However, Ou Yongen always lacked a little bit of self-confidence.
Perhaps she was too concerned about that 100% win rate.
Therefore, I always feel nervous the night before each court hearing.
That's because she put too much pressure on herself!
"But even my master couldn't win every time."
"Ou Yongen said."
"Okay, stop thinking about it and go to sleep."
Ye Tianming took Ou Yongen's hand and led her back to bed, then held her and told her to close her eyes and go to sleep.
"I'm right here beside you. Get some rest. You have another battle to fight tomorrow."
Ye Tianming put his arm around her, gently stroked her cheek, and said softly.
"OK, good night!"
"good night!"
With her eyes closed, Ou Yongen rested her head in Ye Tianming's arms and gradually fell asleep.
The night passed quickly;
the next day;
Ye Tianming woke up very early.
At this moment, Ou Yongen, who was in his arms, also turned over to the other side and was still fast asleep.
He turned around and picked up the watch from the bedside table.
The time shown above is only a little past 5 a.m.
"I'm sleeping less and less. Will I not need sleep at all in the future?"
Ye Tianming thought to himself.
But now that he was awake, he didn't plan to go back to sleep.
So I went to the Pokémon Space and took advantage of the morning to fish a couple of times.
Yesterday, my lucky charm ran out, so I didn't catch anything after that.
However, we should be able to catch another fish today.
If you don't catch a single one, then you'll lose out!
......
12 o'clock noon.
The entrance to the Hong Kong Mainland Hotel.
A row of cars stopped at the entrance, and several foreigners got out of them.
The leader was a foreigner wearing a suit embroidered with gold thread, holding a cane, and wearing sunglasses. He was dressed in the typical British aristocratic style, but he was a bit too flamboyant, which made him seem somewhat lacking in restraint.
But they're foreigners, after all.
They don't care about being reserved or modest.
