Chapter 660: Chapter 660 Sub-angel
“Mr. Chen! Quick, quick! Make them all lie down!” said Shen Yun.
Chen Ke couldn’t understand what Brother Xuancai was saying, but looking at the situation, what else could it be but a fight?
This girl, Shen Yun, was quite pragmatic, acting arrogant when the other side had fewer people, and shrinking back to preserve life when outnumbered. Plus, having seen Chen Ke’s thods at the Public Relations Club, she couldn’t be bothered to pretend to be high and mighty anymore.
Knocking them unconscious would have been easy, but Chen Ke had co to Champion Street to find soone to do a job. With all the coming and going, who knew how long they’d stay out and lying them in the street was unsightly. It might even draw the cops, leading to more trouble.
Brother Xuancai pulled a short knife from his waist, gripping the handle tightly with both hands, and pointed the blade towards Shen Yun. The others also opened their suit jackets, revealing the hilts of short knives tucked into their waistbands.
Chen Ke recognized that thing; it was a kind of short samurai sword called a waist knife, which, due to incorrect popular science, is commonly believed to be the tool samurai used to commit seppuku, although that’s not true.
In ancient Japan, commoners could legally carry it as a self-defense weapon. Many swordsn who wielded two swords used a long sword in the right hand and a waist knife in the left, not two long swords.
“Drawing knives, huh…” Chen Ke reached behind his clothes and pulled out the large-caliber, frightening-looking automatic rifle.
The previously arrogant Brother Xuancai, upon seeing the big gun, froze, and the surrounding gang mbers exchanged glances.
Seeing them rooted to the spot, Chen Ke decided to pull the bolt of the gun, making a crisp and pleasant sound as the firearm chambered a round.
“速く走れ!彼は発砲します!” Brother Xuancai shouted, turning to run towards the alley entrance. Before he even finished shouting, his underlings had already started to flee. The narrow alley made those at the back fear being shot, and they shoved each other without stopping, not even cursing out loud.
If it had been just a handgun, they wouldn’t have reacted so strongly, but Chen Ke’s intention was to frighten them away.
Watching the group scurry away, Shen Yun didn’t seem surprised by this outco. Her attention focused entirely on Chen Ke’s gun.
Blood traces oozed from the barrel and ejection port of the gun, as if it was filled with blood.
“Mr. Chen… where did you pull this big guy out from?” Shen Yun asked, confused.
“Every man has his secrets,” Chen Ke replied, turning away and stuffing the gun behind him. With a thought, the gun disappeared into thin air, reappearing inside his Dinsion Pocket.
But Shen Yun was persistent, circling behind Chen Ke and pulling at his sleeve, demanding clarity.
“Wow! Wow wow! Wow wow wow!” she exclaid exaggeratedly while inspecting Chen Ke’s back.
Are all 2D girls like this? Although by the standards of 201x, Shen Yun and Chen Ke would be considered almost uncle and auntie, in 0x and the 90s, being in their early twenties and seventeen-eighteen years old wasn’t much different.
How nostalgic those slow tis were.
“Is this also so kind of ability? It’s so convenient! It must be great being a Power User,” admired Shen Yun.
“Actually, it’s not that great…” Chen Ke shook his head.
“Can you shoot Dynamic Light Waves? Or throw out a fireball?” Shen Yun asked.
“Ts… Don’t ask such weird questions. If Li Moyang sent you to et , you can’t possibly be completely ignorant about Spiritual Energy,” Chen Ke said.
“You’re thinking too much, Mr. Chen. Power Users’ matters are highly confidential worldwide. We only have access to intelligence at the investigator level. As for the Administration Bureau and the military, if you’re not an insider, it’s impossible to know too much,” Shen Yun said, hands on hips, wagging her finger.
“I actually think Spiritual Ability Users aren’t that mysterious. Enough talk; let’s go to that ‘sub-angel’ place!” Chen Ke shook his head.
The sub-angel bar was a small drinking establishnt similar to a solo proprietorship, found all over Sunrise. There were many such small bars, mainly run by the owners who played host to the custors. Apart from drinking, sotis you could sing karaoke there, a cheaper and purer drinking spot than the Public Relations Club.
However…
So much for the beautiful bar proprietress…
Chen Ke sat at the bar, staring at the tall man in front of him dressed as a woman, and for a mont, he didn’t know how to react.
“Oh my, Yun, you haven’t been around much lately, and here I thought it’s because you got yourself a boyfriend~ Although he seems a bit impassive, he’s quite handso. Aren’t you afraid I’ll steal him away from you if you bring him here~ Hehehehe~”
That man… that man expertly poured Shen Yun and Chen Ke a glass of Yamazaki 12 Years each, while chatting with them in Chinese, thick with an accent.
“Hehe… Mr. Takahashi, have you been to Akihabara recently? Your favorite old ani series just released so nostalgic Blu-rays.”
Shen Yun laughed.
Seeing them getting into a conversation, Chen Ke coughed twice and glanced at Shen Yun.
“I haven’t gone there recently. After closing the shop, it’s always very late, and I have no ti during the day,” Takahashi said.
“Right~ Mr. Takahashi, we actually ca here to ask you about sothing,” Shen Yun, feeling the sharp gaze from Chen Ke, broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly steered the conversation back on track.
“Oh? What does Yun want to ask?” Takahashi asked with a smile.
“Actually… we’re looking for a woman… with purple hair, likely dressed fashionably, fair-skinned, and quite a beauty. She’s the kind that would turn heads 100% on the street, possibly accompanied by a man… who looks exactly like ,” Chen Ke eagerly described.
“Oh my… And here I thought Yun’s boyfriend was the low-key, cool type.” Takahashi looked at Chen Ke, whose thick sideburns combined with a golden-yellow twin-tail wig made for a combination as invigorating as Sprite injected with ammonia.
“No, no, it’s not that… Did you see that woman?” Shen Yun waved her hands and smiled.
“How could I not have seen her? It seed like the day before yesterday, that purple-haired beauty ca here asking about sothing. At first, I thought her purple hair was a cosplay wig, but upon a closer look, it turned out to be real… so beautiful. She was wearing a sequined crop top and skinny pants, with the latest Adidas golden sports jacket on top, her figure was like a supermodel from a magazine…” Takahashi blushed as he said this.
“You rember quite clearly, huh?” Chen Ke avoided Takahashi’s gaze.
“Well of course, such a pretty girl is quite rare to co by… I an, you don’t even see ones like her on TV that often, ah… I wish that body were mine…” Takahashi covered his face, embarrassed.
Chen Ke rubbed his temples, feeling as if he’d been hit by a wave of impact, a sudden urge rushing from his stomach to his throat.
“Mr. Takahashi, what did she inquire about?” Shen Yun asked.
“Yun, I have to protect my clients’ privacy, even if it’s you asking, I can’t just disclose things casually…” Takahashi shook his head.
“Ah… but this is very important to us, and besides… Mr. Chen ca to Sunrise for this matter as well,” Shen Yun said.
“If I were to betray my clients’ privacy, sub-angels would face resistance in the industry. Clients who co to such private bars care a great deal about their privacy… It seems your boyfriend is feeling a bit unwell?” Takahashi still refused to comply, noticing Chen Ke lying face down on the bar, looking concerned.
“I’m fine, this is just the position I take when I’m thinking,” Chen Ke’s calm voice ca from below.
“Oh.” Takahashi nodded.
“Mr. Takahashi, please, I’m asking you this ti. What exactly did that lady ask you about? If you tell , I’ll go to Akihabara and buy you a limited edition Blu-ray,” Shen Yun pleaded with her hands clasped together.
“Um… um… tch…” Takahashi felt torn.
“Please, Mr. Takahashi! I promise I will bring back to you the warrants and the nostalgic sister princess DVD set!” Shen Yun said.
Hearing this, Takahashi seed to make up his mind, slamming the table and looking at Shen Yun.
“You promise?!”
“I promise!”
Chen Ke lifted his head, his gaze stealthily passing over his elbow, eyeing Shen Yun and Takahashi.
“That… That purple-haired lady, she wanted to inquire about Tangnai Garden…” Takahashi whispered.
“Tangnai Garden?” Shen Yun was taken aback for a mont, then suddenly stood up excitedly, startling Chen Ke.
“Mr. Takahashi! Are you still mingling with them?!” Shen Yun burst into anger, leaving Chen Ke confused.
