Translator: Lionwwang  Editor: Lionwwang

“You are too young and haven’t achive a high enough level, so that it’s normal for you to don’t know.” His face is showing a mocking smile, “There are so many little messes on the street are claiming to be gangsters. In fact, they are not even close to the real gangs. At most, they’re just the local dregs. What is the real gang? Like Japan’s Yamaguchi Group, the Black Dragon Society, they are! Yamaguchi Group in Japan is the underworld boss. No one dares to say no to them. They can even exert influences to the politics. The Black Dragon Society was said to have close ties with the Japanese Army. This is the real gang. This is the real dark! The Italian Mafia, there are some big families, everyone knows, just right there, so what? They have controlled the economic resources. They have monies and powers! Several major arms families in the United States are openly trading weapons all over the world, which is also dark. But they have their own governments behind them! Hundreds of years earlier, the British Empire’s East India Company, which controlled more than 90% of the world’s opium trafficking! The Governor of the Far East of the British Empire must look up at the face of the East India Company!”

He’s sneering: “Now you go outside and look, those with watermelon knives on hand, and take people to the restaurant to collect protection fees, also call the gangster? What is it? The real gangs have their own ways! What you do should be dark, and at the same time, you should have a strong and perfect system!”

To be honest, I can’t help but respect this fat fellow in front of me!

He pinches the cigarette in his hand vigorously: “Don’t think there’s no Mafia in our country! There are also! QH family are! They have a long long history.”

After a pause, He is looking at me with a round eye. I say: “I did never hear of it.”

He is saying with the smile: “But it’s real!”

My heart is thumping: “You mean, Juan belongs to the QH family?”

He is sighing: “That’s why I said you were bold enough! QH family’s men, although not very visible outside now, but that is now they have gone to the high-end way, do not fight and kill anymore. They just pay attention to the high-level crime, to make power and money transactions. I said, what is dark? They are the really dark.”

My brain is a little dizzy. He is looking at me with a sneer: “Now stunned? Who do you think you have offended?”

I am shrugging my shoulders and rubbing my nose: “Did I offend the leader?”

“Bah, the leader? He doesn’t deserve it! Not even close!” Fat fellow is mocking again, “Actually there isn’t a general leader in QH family. There are some bosses are managing together. Although none of them is dissatisfied with each other. But they are basically still corporating with each other. You’ve offended one of the big bosses, a very powerful one. As for Juan, he’s just one of the managers of this big boss.”

“I thought I really offended the big boss.” I say with my eyebrows rising.

“Although he’s not the leader, but the level is high enough! You don’t know how complicate it is. Half of the country’s underworld is looking for you now. Pursuit Order No. 1! Much tougher than the police’s national arrest warrant! If you can’t stand it, just wait for you death, boy!”

Suddenly, I stop smiling, looking at him quietly for a moment, then I am whispering: “Thank you anyway.”

“What do you thank for?” He takes a look at me and says, “I can’t save you. I don’t have that good ability. It’s my best effort to bring you here. The rest depends on your own destiny!”

I’m shaking my head: “Not thank you for saving me, I thank you for saving the girl.”

He is squinting his eyes and suddenly laughing: “I say boy, I also heard about this thing, you beat people into a eunuch for that girl, right? This girl looks just OK. It’s far not very beautiful. Is this worth fighting so hard?”

I am saying seriously: “It’s not what you think. She and I are not the boyfriends and girlfriend relationsips.” I take a deep breath and say, “I’m entrusted to take care of her. Someone tried to bully her. Should I go and investigate whether that person can be made trouble first?”

He takes a sip of tea and grins: “Were you doing this for this girl? Aren’t you afraid of lose your life?”

“Yes!” I say lightly, “Of course I am afraid of to die. Why am I not afraid of death? But at that time, I did not know his background, so I just did it. Now when I think about it, I have been nursing a grievance too. But I don’t regret it. Even I’ve known that guy have such a powerful background, I would still do it! I have to do it even I’m afraid! I promised to protect this girl!”

He is sighing: “You are really bold!”

I am shaking my head: “Trusted!”

“Heh heh!” He’s sneering.

I hear some complicated meanings in his laughter, and he is looking at me deeply for a moment, then suddenly pointing to the room inside: “That girl, don’t think I don’t know. That eyebrows, that nose and the eyes. Hmm, is she Juan’s daughter? He does have a pair of good eyes!” He is looking at me, do not know whether it’s emotion or helplessness, “He’s got the right person, and entrusted his daughter to you. It’s just this will make you have to throw your life. Do you think it is worth doing?”

“It’s not worth or worthless. In this world, if we have to ask such a question before doing anything, we just can’t do anything at all!” I am looking at him coldly, without any evasion, staring at his leg, gritting my teeth to ask, “I dare to ask you a question, was the injury on your leg caused by the war? When you went to the war to be injuried, did you ask yourself if it was worth it when you were rushing forward?”

He’s tongue-tied.

Then he is looking at me silently for a long time. He’s suddenly standing up and patting me on the shoulder with a few different meanings in his eyes, which seem to be regretful and helpless. He is whispering: “Young man, live well and keep your life! It’s a pity that there are too few people like you. Die one just short one.”

The way he is looking at me like staring at a dead people, which makes me feel uncomfortable. But he stops talking to me and walking out of the room slowly. Before leaving, he leaves a word: “Stay here, don’t go out.”

The door is closed and the room has dark without lights on.

“Am I going to die?” I have some bitterness in my mouth, but then I’m suddenly laughing and pulling out the measuring device from my arms.

“Seems I have a good luck in life, maybe I won’t die?” I laugh a few times, but unfortunately even I myself also feel my laughter is dry.

These two days I have measured. The yellow index is always high. The yellow index stands for “the luckiness of the life”, it seems that I should not be short-lived, but do not know whether being killed counts?

I feel a little confused, then rest on the sofa for a while. There were so many things in these two days that I’m too nervous to sleep well. And this fat fellow, although we have only known for a short time. But he left me a very strange feeling that this person can be trusted!

As soon as my mind and body has relaxed, I close my eyes and fall asleep.

Don’t know how long time has pasted. Maybe I’m too tired to even have a dream, just in a sleepy state all the time.

Don’t know when, I am suddenly shivering and wake up imeediately! I feel a chill all over my body, as if my hairs are standing up. A vigilance is coming from my heart. My eyes are poping open. I jump down from the sofa and find a man is sitting in the dark room.

It’s dark now! It seems that I have been sleeping all day without realizing it! In the dark room, without light, the man is sitting and staring at me, breathing very long. I cann’t see his appearance, only see the outline!

I wake up from my sleep with someone peeping! My first reaction is: I’m in danger!

I am bouncing off the sofa and hitting immediately.

Then I see his body is hiding quickly. Then my wrist is immediately grasped. The fingers of the other side are pinching me like the iron forceps. Then I hear a familiar voice: “Little 5, I’m Jim.”
