2020年大陆情侣自拍

Reo shouted and screamed at everyone gathered in the room, yet no one spoke in response. Every single gang leader present had very serious expressions on their faces as they listened to Reo b*tching about the events that transpired. Usually, it was Catherine who would calm Reo down as the two of them had the best relationship among the gang leaders, but now that she was gone, Reo was livid.

“Sh*t sh*t sh*t, damn him, I can’t believe he really killed Catherine out of all the people here. Among all of us dirtbags, she was the least tainted. Why did that f*cker have to kill her?”

Reo who was shouting and screaming suddenly had tears flowing down his face. It was a weird sight to see the tough-looking man with a scar on his face was actually crying. Normally someone in the group would’ve mocked him but this time no one did so. The room was deadly quiet with only the sound of Reo muttering curses under his breath.

After a few minutes of silence, the sound of someone smacking the table echoed throughout the room. Lucas Jones stood up from his seat sighed heavily and then glared at the other gang leaders.

“This alliance is just bullsh*t what are we f*ckign doing here? Are we just here to lick each other’s wounds and cry like babies? Well, I’m done with that crap, you guys do whatever you want, and I’ll do what the f*ck I want.”

After saying his piece, Lucas left with his men. Once Lucas and his group were gone, the room was once again quiet for a while then another gang leader spoke.

.....

“That guy might be an idiot, but he has a point. This alliance has run its course, we have used a lot of our money to hire an assassin that wasn’t able to do anything. Then we only learned of Catherine’s death the day after. In the end, this just proves to me that we can only rely on ourselves to survive this ordeal. I’ll see you guys when they bury Catherine, before then all of you do your best to survive. Well then, I’m out.”

The one who spoke was Booker Williams. Once Booker and his gang were gone, only Reo and Hiro were left in the room.

“It would seem that only the two of us are left in this alliance... So what are you planning to do next Reo?”

Hearing Hiro’s cold tone shook Reo a bit as he looked at the only gang leader that was a martial artist. Even in this situation, Hiro’s expression remained indifferent as he waited for Reo to respond.

“I don’t know... Unlike Lucas, I don’t have as much money or firepower to fight Fade, I’m also not as smart nor do I have as many connections as Booker, nor am I as powerful as you. In the end, by myself I am nothing... I guess, after Catherine, the next one to die should be me.”

Reo who was crying and cursing moments ago spoke with such lethargy that it felt like he would die any second now. It was such a weird shift of tone from his earlier outburst.

“So then are you just going to hide in a corner and wait for your death?”

“What else can I do? It’s like you said before we hired that assassin. If the Elegant Scorpion fails then we need to get our coffins ready, right?”

“That is true, but even then are you truly willing to just die?”

Reo shrugged his shoulders and sighed.

“Like I said, what else can I do?”

“If you’re not willing to fight, then how about you flee? It seems that Fade’s actions only revolve around Leim City and sometimes other cities near it. If you flee far enough you might be able to survive without needing to fight. There is also the option of simply quitting being part of the underworld.”

“Heh, you know I’m already too deep in the underworld that quitting isn’t an option anymore. If I do that, Fade won’t be the one to kill me but someone else will. As for fleeing, it’s the same thing. Leim City is were my territory is, if I move to another gang’s territory it would be troublesome, and in my business that’s going to start a war and I would still die. So no matter what I do death will come, but if I stay here at least I could die in a better way. Oh right, I also kind of want to talk to Fade. I want to see the face of the one who took Catherine’s life.”

Reo then stood up from his chair and was about to leave the room, but as he opened the door, Hiro spoke to him.

“Reo, I know what you felt for Catherine, and I’m sorry.” Reo didn’t look back as he spoke to Hiro.

“Heh, you don’t know the half of it.” After saying that Reo finally left. Now it was only Hiro left in the room. Hiro looked at the empty chairs and sighed.

‘I guess the mission was a failure. I wonder if he would get mad or if he would get excited by this development. Either way, I’m not going to get that promotion now. So, I wonder when should I call him?... I guess I can wait a bit more since that assassin we hired doesn’t seem to be giving up just yet. Still, even after that battle, I can’t get a clear picture of how strong Fade is... Well, it’s not really my job to analyze that, I just need to send my report and see what happens next.’
