“We are two big guys, no need to be sentimental like that. Don’t worry, when this thing is over, I will find a time to visit you again. Tonight, don’t think too much, we’ll drink until we’re drunk.” With that, Lei Yin raised his glass once again.

Knowing that he is a man of his word, Robin had to give up and raised his glass.

The two men talked until late at night, drinking bottle after bottle of wine. Finally, the two of them left when the restaurant was about to close, Robin has been severely intoxicated.

Fortunately, he lived in his previous place so Lei Yin can bring him back using his memory.

After putting him in bed, he watched the already unconscious blonde man.

“I hope we can still meet in this life.” Patting him on the shoulder, Lei Yin pulled the sheet to cover him. After casting him a glance, Lei Yin closed the door and left.

“Master, did you find the ship?” After Lei Yin took a bath, Rei Li asked.

“Yes, it’s a boat that was used to smuggle people to the United States. But the boat cannot sail immediately because the smugglers want to avoid the downward wind. Moreover, they need to do a hull maintenance and buy some supplies. Therefore, we need to wait until next week before we can set sail.”

“So, we have to stay here for a week?”

“If nothing changes, then yes. How about your legs?”

“It’s fine now.” After days of fleeing from Atlanta to Boston, his wounds finally healed.

“That’s good. Where is Chang’an?”

“He went outside to buy food.”

Knowing Chang’an’ cautiousness, he felt at ease, not worried that Chang’an would be recognized.

The overall situation seemed certain now.

But losing the headquarters and many years of effort just like that made Rei Li grew more and more unhappy. In the end, he could not help slam his fist on the table, “Master, I am really unwilling to accept this. Are we just going to let those gangs of turtles cheat on us like that?”

Lei Yin squinted his eyes at him, “Then what do you want?”

“I….” For a moment, Rei Li was at a loss for words. He also knew who the opposite party is. Moreover, they have finally managed to escape all the way here with great difficulties. It’s just that, there was a strong sense of resentment in his heart that has always been hard to dispel.

Seeing Rei Li’s gloomy face, Lei Yin suddenly showed a pondering look.

“Are you really upset?” He gently asked this sentence.

Rei Li looked up at him and then fiercely nodded.

“Are you afraid to die?” Lei Yin strangely smiled.

“I am the leader of the number one underworld gang, if I am afraid to die, I won’t enter this world in the first place.” Rei Li loudly said.

“Perhaps we will really die.”

“Master, what are you going to do?” Rei Li finally noticed the oddness in his master’s face.

“The so-called to train the troops for a thousand days only to use them for a day. The Black Dragon have also raised this kind of people for years, it’s time for them to do something. Honestly, after being chased like a rat for so long, I am very unhappy too. When did I, this father, become a faint-hearted turtle? Since this time it was someone else who messed with us first, if we want to play, we need to go big. However, you have to think it very clearly, if we do play, it is highly likely that we will end up losing everything, even so much so that we will be hunted down every day. Right now, you are in charge of the Black Dragon, so you decide if we play this or not.”

Blankly staring at his master’s bottomless eyes, Rei Li seemed able to see two indistinct flames slowly rose from the abyss. Fifteen years ago, he had seen this kind of look once. The thing that happened at the time can still be clearly remembered by him.

To outsiders, he is a strange man. Because he liked to handle matters not according to common sense, many underworld people thought that he is a weirdo. But only he, himself knew best that this was just a subtle influence from his master to him. Moreover, only he knew best that his master is the true freak. His master seemed to be a mix of contradictions. No matter what position his master found himself in, his master will try to keep a low profile and in an unobtrusive position. But sometimes, or in some special time, his master will do some unbelievable things.

Tightly clenching his fist, Rei Li suddenly pounded the table, abruptly smashing down a corner of the table.

“His grandma! If I, this father, must die, I want a spectacular funeral, and I want those sons of turtles to be buried along with me. We play!” Rei Li stood up and roared.

The sound in the room alerted the three dark group members and, holding their guns, they immediately rushed to the room to see what happened.

But soon they were shocked because they saw the two men, one old, one young, loudly guffawed like two maniacs.

Seeing this strange scene, these three dark team members looked at each other, completely unaware of what was going on between these two, master and disciple.
