Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 52: Whale Song (21)

Dragon Raja 5

So the leader did not stop him, but watched with laughter as Caesar pulled the trigger again and again.

Surprisingly, the first four magazines were empty. When Caesar pulled the trigger for the fifth time, he turned the gun towards the leader and shot him in the knee.

He also gave the leader a 50% chance, but unfortunately the leader had bad luck and fell to his knees after one shot.

At this moment, Abbas pounced on the enemy behind Caesar like a tiger and smashed the man’s shoulder blade with one punch. The change was so sudden that everyone present was stunned for a few seconds, but a few seconds was enough for Caesar and Abbas. When they walked out of the room panting, there was no one left standing in the room.

Abbas asked, “What if there’s a bullet in the first magazine?” Caesar replied, “Then you’re only seriously injured. I’ve read your admission physical. Your heart is on the right side. At most, there’s a hole in your lung. You can survive with a hole in your lung.”

Abbas asked, “Why you looked at my medical report?” Caesar, holding up his back, which felt like it was broken, said, “If you want to defeat your opponent, you must first understand him. This is the family motto of our Gattuso family.”

Abbas asked how many family mottos your family has, and it seems that the one he mentioned last time was not this one; Caesar said that I can recite more than eighty of them, and my father can probably recite hundreds of them, but I always guessed that he made them up, and there is no way to verify it anyway.

The two walked for a long time in the rainy night of Istanbul, trying to find a private clinic to stop the bleeding, but they only found a bar. Caesar looked at the bar sign, smiled, and said it was still early, so why not have a drink.

On a cold, rainy night, in a second-rate bar, enthusiastic Turks held hands and danced in a circle after drinking. Caesar and Abbas drank one glass after another of anise liquor, a colorless liquor that turned a wonderful milky white when added to distilled water. They drank it again and again until their minds were completely filled with the Turkish dance music.

Caesar didn’t like aniseed wine, which was no match for the treasures in his cellar. He was just using this way to show that from that night on, Abbas was someone who could drink with him one on one… and at the same time, to compete with him in drinking capacity.

Since then, they carried out several missions together and traveled to many places in the world. The two student clubs was still competitive, but the two leaders have always maintained the habit of having a drink together after the mission.

Looking back now, all those gunfire and hail of bullets seem to be a blur, but I still remember the wine I drank after each mission.

“I think there’s nothing wrong with being benched,” Finger said, swallowing a pink macaron. “Caesar, do you really want to hunt down your fiancée? What are you going to tell her if you catch her? Are you going to tell her that if she comes back to Rome with me, we can pretend everything never happened? It’s like a family drama, and you’re the second male lead!”

“I’m also embarrassed to meet my brother,” he picked up the green macaron again and sighed, “After all, I was the one who betrayed him, so I still have to have some dignity.”

“Caesar, you didn’t really invite me to have afternoon tea, did you?” Abbas suddenly said.

“What do you think?” Caesar raised his eyebrows.

“We are the best hunters. If we go out, we should be able to hunt the fox earlier than others, even without EVA’s intelligence support,” Abbas said slowly. “But it doesn’t necessarily mean we don’t have EVA’s support. Didn’t you call Finger?”

“The old guys are very nervous right now. If we leave without permission, they will suspect that we are going to assist Lu Mingfei, right?”

“Let them be suspicious, then. They are old men, and old men are always like that. But we need some equipment and a good means of transportation.”

Caesar put down his coffee and stared into Abbas’s eyes for a long time, a smile appearing on his lips. “Come to think of it, I happened to dispatch a private jet yesterday morning, and it landed at Chicago International Airport.”

Caesar was certainly not bored and wasting time with Finger and Abbas; his time was precious and he was in severe anxiety.

The eyes of heaven are staring at Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo, the hunting net has been spread, and the executive officers are authorized to use violence in extreme circumstances.

Caesar felt that he had to think of a way to avoid the situation where Nono was suddenly brought to him in a body bag one day, and an elder tactfully explained to him that the pursuit team encountered fierce resistance, and considering the danger posed by Lu Mingfei, they had to issue an order to kill him.

Caesar has never been one to sit on the bench; his strength lies in taking the initiative.

But if he wants to accomplish this, he must have help. Abdullah Abbas is the most suitable candidate, and Finger must also be brought along. This guy knows too many things and must be hiding some secrets. In addition, he seems to have special authority over EVA.     

“Two big guys! Two heroes!” Finger looked horrified, glancing from Abbas to Caesar. “Whether you’re saving a damsel in distress or saving the world, it’s all very well. I absolutely approve! You were born to do great things, but you can’t do them with baggage! I’m your baggage! You’re good hunters, but I’m not even a good hunting dog. I’m just a pet at best! You’re talking about great things and you insist on having a pet dog with you. You even said you’d take it with you. Have you ever considered the dog’s feelings?”
