Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

Jia Chen's friends are so kind and caring. They speak to her with concern, like elders who are strict but concerned for her well-being. This club is really great.

Chapter 213 The Melancholy of Vodka

Porsche 356A

"Are you really planning to let her join the organization?" Jia Chen tapped the back seat lightly with his fingers.

"No rush. She's still a student and should focus on her studies." Gin's icy demeanor seemed to soften slightly, and he appeared to be in a good mood. He said with a sneer, "You can teach her a lesson when you have time, at least teach her how to say no."

Jia Chen remained silent, her pale red eyes slightly lowered... lost in thought.

“Big Brother is right.” Vodka grinned. “If you have a high level of education, you can become a core member of the organization directly.”

"...So, you also became a core member through this method?" Jia Chen looked up at the rearview mirror.

"Pretty much." Vodka gripped the steering wheel with one hand and scratched his head with the other. "I joined the organization quite early on. My older brother sponsored my education, and I got into Dongdu University. After graduating, I joined the organization to help my older brother."

"However, compared to Shirley, I am still far behind. She graduated with a doctorate and was immediately assigned to work in Tokyo."

"The salary and benefits are the same as my older brother's, and I also have the right to reside there, a car purchase subsidy, and so on."

Jia Chen nodded in agreement, 22%... People with higher education always enjoy higher treatment.

"I'm rather curious... how did you meet Gin?" Jia Chen glanced at Gin, who exuded an aura of unapproachability, and asked.

"Well... that's a long story." Vodka was silent for a while, then thought about it and decided to speak, since he felt that the Galiano people were quite nice.

"I didn't want to bring this up... When I was little, my family was very poor, extremely poor... so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat."

“My father was a gambler, and our family owed a lot of money because of him.”

"My mother was seriously ill at the time, and she needed a lot of medical expenses, so much that I had no idea what those numbers meant..."

"I listen to my mother so much that my classmates laugh at me, saying I'm a child who never grows up..."

"However, I think my mother was a very smart and wise person who loved me very much... but she couldn't hold on because of her serious illness at the time."

"Unlike other people's mothers, my mother always told me to live a happy and joyful life, according to my own ideas."

As he said this, Vodka's tone became somewhat somber, and the car slowed down.

"When I heard the news, the sun seemed incredibly bright that day, and time seemed to pass very slowly. I felt like something was missing inside me..."

"I didn't go home that time; I just sat there blankly in the hospital all night."

"It wasn't until the people at the hospital told me that the debt collectors had come to the hospital with my father!"

As Vodka said this, his fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if he were gritting his teeth as he uttered the word "father."

"I realized something was wrong...I argued with the man, and we started fighting."

"He tore my school uniform to shreds, and without any source of income, I had no choice but to wear patched-up clothes."

"But my mother's words and hopes were all on me, and I persevered until high school."

“I was always the one who was isolated in class, and I wasn’t very good at talking, and I wasn’t interested in entertainment venues.”

"Actually, I did try to fit in at the time, but reality always shattered my hopes..."

Vodka chuckled as he said this, "Anyway, I've always been alone."

"Back then, I was isolated and was always bullied..."

"Everyone wanted to bully me... One time, after school, I was walking down the street and couldn't take it anymore... I thought, 'Maybe this is it, I'm already so tired.'"

"I unknowingly walked to the edge of the subway... My head was spinning, and I wanted to jump..."

"But... by chance, an actress wearing sunglasses may have discovered my intentions, stopped me, and comforted me."

"I remember she was very, very beautiful. Compared to her, I felt like the ugly duckling next to a swan..."

"But she didn't care. She comforted me like an angel, explaining her family background, which was very similar to mine. In the end, she became who she is today through her own perseverance..."

"At that time, I didn't know how I felt, I only knew that the sun would still shine brightly tomorrow."

As Vodka finished speaking, the Porsche 356A seemed to slow down a bit, and after a pause, he continued.

“Until I entered my senior year of high school, my father’s debts continued to grow, and he blamed me for it.”

"He bought me accident insurance and conspired with those debt collectors to kill me and take my money."

"Because I knew the cause of my mother's death a long time ago, I ran away immediately."

"But I was stabbed while escaping, and there were their men all over the streets, so I didn't dare run into the main streets and could only run into the dark alleys..."

"Until I met a blond guy wearing a black trench coat."

At this point, you could see tears streaming down Vodka's face behind his sunglasses in the rearview mirror...

“I had just finished a mission for the organization when I happened to run into Vodka and saved him,” Gin sneered. “I didn’t do it for anything else, I just wanted to test my abilities.”

"Don't be so proud, brother." Vodka nodded heavily after hearing this, wiping away his tears. "After you saved me, you only said one thing, 'Do you need help?'"

“I was unwilling to accept it at the time, and I said that my father was going to hunt me down. My eldest brother nodded and didn’t say anything.”

"After my pursuers arrived, my older brother flicked his golden hair, and before I could react... my pursuers were already lying on the ground, dead."

"And I lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss..."

When I woke up again, my older brother was sitting next to me in a chair. He said rather arrogantly, "I didn't come here to save you or anything. I was afraid I'd die there and get caught by the police..."

"Heh...that was indeed the situation back then." Gin's dark green pupils glanced warily at Vodka, then he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"Later, I followed my eldest brother, who sponsored my education until I graduated from Dongdu University." Vodka said in a low, earnest voice, "In my dark life, there were three lights: my mother, that actress, and my eldest brother."

"Therefore, no matter what you do, I will follow you and repay you!"

"Not bad, I never thought you were a champion of justice back then." Jia Chen leaned back in his chair, took a cigarette from Gin's pocket, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Whether looking at the original storyline or from the current perspective, vodka has always been aligned with Gin.

His loyalty to the organization may have stemmed from Gin.

Perhaps one day Gin will be arrested, and Vodka will also disobey the organization's orders and go to Gin.

However... that's just a hypothetical.

Chapter 214 Vermouth's Speculation

Gin remained silent, the smoke swirling around his face, giving him a somewhat aloof appearance.

“Vodka, watch the road,” Gin said coldly. “If you keep looking at me, I’ll let Galiano drive.”

“Oh, okay, big brother,” Vodka said. “Don’t worry about my driving skills; I majored in driving.”

Jia Chen stared at Gin for a few seconds, thinking about Gin's past experiences.

However, after reviewing the original storyline's memories, it was discovered that Gin's experiences weren't described in much detail.

Why don't we activate our Observation Haki and investigate?

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Gin frowned, took a cigarette from his pocket, and put it in the pocket near the car door. "If you want a cigarette, go buy some yourself."

Jia Chen raised an eyebrow and extinguished the cigarette in the car.

The car slowly arrived at the villa's entrance.

Vermouth walked over with the face of Chris Vineyard, her bright golden hair cascading over her shoulders, wearing a pure white dress and a wide black belt with silver patterns around her waist.

What's most peculiar is her pupils, which are a pair of breathtaking purple pupils, exuding both eeriness and allure.

Then... Jia Chen saw Gin's face instantly darken, and his demeanor turned cold.

Gin rolled down the car window and said coldly, "Vermouth, isn't it a bit too attention-grabbing for a big star like you to appear near Galliano's villa?"

"Hmm? What's with the unwelcoming look on your faces?" Vermouth smiled nonchalantly and looked at Jia Chen. "I just wanted to see Galiano. It's been so long... I've been missing Galiano's cooking."

As he said this, his finger was still near his lips.

Gin continued to stare coldly at Vermouth.

“Don’t worry, no rats were following me here when I came,” Vermouth said. “And nobody will be paying attention to this place.”

"Hmph...that's good." Gin rolled up the car window, seemingly preventing Vermouth and Galiano from speaking.

Then... a few minutes later, the car door was opened, and the three people got out.

There was no particular reason; Vodka was just too hungry and eager to eat.

Vermouth: "

What's the point of doing this?

Gin gave Vermouth a cold look, then led Vodka through the door.

"He doesn't seem very happy..." Vermouth lit a cigarette with her long fingers, took a drag, and said softly.

Gin's reaction today was a bit strange, and Vermouth sensed something was amiss.

It feels like...he's jealous.

Furthermore, Gin sometimes makes a point of coming to the villa to see Galiano. Could it be...?

Vermouth's expression darkened, as if she had realized something.
