Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 61: Whale Song (30)

Dragon Raja 5

The door of the warehouse slammed open and Crow pushed it open, carrying a plastic bag. Without even looking at the UMP9 pointed at him, he turned around and locked the door again.

Nuonuo breathed a sigh of relief, fastened the safety of the submachine gun, and threw it on the mat next to her. Chu Zihang was curled up and sleeping soundly.

“Are you not being followed?” Lu Mingfei raised his head from the pile of papers, with a pencil stuck to his ear and his hair messy like a bird’s nest.

“Come on, this is Tokyo. How many people in Tokyo can follow me?” Crow threw the plastic bag in front of Lu Mingfei and sat down in a corner next to him. “I’m the local boss here.”

He said it lightly, but in fact he was still very alert. He took the Mita Line subway for seven or eight stops, then changed to the Marunouchi Line, and passed through several popular shopping malls. Even if the academy sent a real hound to follow him, it would be confused by him.

Lu Mingfei flipped through the plastic bag and his eyes lit up. “This is honeydew melon from Sembikiya. It’s top quality.”

Inside the plastic bag was a small, inconspicuous melon with a rough, reticular skin. Lu Mingfei had heard of this thing before. It was the famous Shizuoka honeydew melon, and one of these would cost over 100,000 yen. It was usually only available in top-notch sushi restaurants after meals.

Takama-ga-hara, where he used to work, was considered a top-tier consumer destination, and he gained a lot of experience working there.

However, Crow is actually a rough guy, and his appreciation of food is limited to soba noodles and okonomiyaki. When he suddenly came to visit them with top-quality honeydew melons, they always felt something was wrong.

“It’s a gift from the academy, they say it’s to comfort me for my injuries.” Crow lit a cigarette.

Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo suddenly became alert and stared at the melon as if it was a bomb.

Anyone who’d spent time in the academy knew the quirks of the equipment department. They could disguise a bomb as anything, and they could put a tracker on anything. The equipment department even put a sophisticated tracker on the back of a mosquito, but unfortunately, the target slapped it to death.

“It’s okay. Our technical department has checked it out. It’s just a melon.” Crow said lazily, “There were also pears and grapes in the gift box. I ate them all and I didn’t get poisoned.”

Lu Mingfei nodded, took out a short arc knife, cut the melon in two or three strokes, and handed a piece to Nuonuo.

They have been immersed in studying the materials left by Herzog for almost 30 hours. When they are hungry, they eat instant noodles, and when they are sleepy, they lean on the bed and take a nap. It is really miserable. Eating a piece of honeydew melon can improve their sense of happiness.

“Leave half for him to eat when he wakes up.” Nuonuo stuck out her lips at Chu Zihang and spoke in a low voice.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, “Why is this like raising a child?” But he still obediently saved the largest piece and he and NuoNuo each took a piece and started to eat it.

Crow waved his hand, declining the piece offered by Lu Mingfei. “But you Chinese people say that if someone shows kindness for no reason, they are either treacherous or thieves. If you eat someone’s melon, you have to do them a favor.”

Lu Mingfei became alert again, looking at the crow, wondering if this guy could be bribed with a box of fruit?

Crow took out his phone and handed it to Nono, “They want our help to broadcast this video on big screens all over Tokyo.”

On the screen was a burly middle-aged man with a square face and a resolute expression, like the terracotta warriors standing in Qin Shihuang’s tomb.

“Mo Tong, if you see this video, please watch it to the end. This is a warning from your family. You are in great danger. The person you are traveling with has potential for violence and has committed serious crimes. Your family is deeply concerned for your safety and hopes you can turn back. His case has nothing to do with you. You are innocent, you have simply been bewitched. No matter where you are now, as long as you call your family at the number below, we are absolutely capable of guaranteeing your safety…”

When Nuonuo saw this, she threw the phone back to Crow and asked, “What does he think I am? A fallen girl?” Her tone was very cold.

Crow and Lu Mingfei exchanged glances.

“So… this guy is your father?” Crow asked cautiously.

“Yeah.” Nuonuo continued to bury himself in the information.

Crow and Lu Mingfei looked at each other again.

“You have a bad relationship with your father?” the crow continued to ask.

“You can tell from my expression?” Nuonuo said without even raising his head.

Crow scratched his head. He had watched the video dozens of times. It really was just a middle-aged man earnestly trying to persuade his daughter to go home.

He also searched for information about this man. There was not much information on the Internet. Obviously, someone deliberately blocked the search for this man. But with the help of Kaguya, he still knew something. The man was the behind-the-scenes controller of many large companies. He had huge assets and was an important figure worldwide.

Nono also admitted that the man was her father, so she was indeed born into a superior family, although not as wealthy as the Gattuso family.
