Nangong Zhe was a little surprised when he saw what was drawn on the painting.
Nangong Zhe felt that last night's moonlight, stars, and bustling streets were exceptionally beautiful. However, Mashiro had drawn the scene of last night with a heavenly aura. The dense smoke and fire were hidden behind the heavenly aura. It formed a different kind of beauty.
What made Nangong Zhe feel even more amused was that Mashiro seemed to have realized that he was keeping watch on the roof of the opposite house. She had actually drawn Nangong Zhe in the painting.
"This girl …" Nangong Zhe looked at Mashiro's vivid painting of him sleeping and shook his head, "Interesting."
He turned his head and looked at Mashiro who was sprawled out in her sleep. Nangong Zhe did not say anything and disappeared in a flash.
When Mashiro woke up, it was already past eleven o 'clock. The blazing sun shone through the window onto Mashiro's body.
This was a desert area. Even if it was the holidays, the air conditioning here was excellent. It wouldn't be of much use at noon.
"Ah ~" Mashiro could only moan under the unbearable heat and opened her sleepy eyes.
After all, she had stayed up late to paint last night.
"Yo! You're awake! "
Mashiro had just woken up. Her consciousness was still blurry. When she heard someone greeting her, she subconsciously replied, "Morning!"
However, she immediately felt that something was wrong.
She was in a hotel!
A single room!
The voice that greeted her was a man!
"Ahhhh!"
An earth-shattering scream rang out. Mashiro picked up the pillow under her and threw it at Nangong Zhe who was sitting under the bed.
"Are you a pervert?! You came to a girl's room early in the morning! What are you trying to do! What are you trying to do! "
To be honest, Nangong Zhe had never thought that a girl's attack would be so powerful!
He was a Jounin level ninja, but he was actually beaten silly by a girl who had never trained before.
Was she trying to beat an old driver to death with random punches?
Eh? Something strange seemed to have sneaked in.
Anyway, that was what it meant.
Nangong Zhe, who was chased out of the room, did not know what to say. Did I do something wrong?
Actually, Nangong Zhe went downstairs to buy breakfast and bring it over to Mashiro. However, Mashiro did not wake up. Nangong Zhe went downstairs and asked for the room key. He was prepared to leave the breakfast and leave.
But when she saw that Mashiro had woken up, she subconsciously greeted her.
Then …
It was a tragedy!
"Listen to me, Mashiro! I'm just here to deliver breakfast. I don't want anything else. "
Nan Gongzhe hastily explained.
"What else do you want!"
Another pillow was threw threw threw threw threw threw threw.
"I didn't mean that. I, I, I, you, calm calm down. Breakfast is on the table! "
Nangong Zhe thought for a while. Mashiro was angry now. Mashiro would not listen to anything he said. It would be better for him to leave first and let Zhen Bai calm down so that he could explain himself.
"Get lost!!!"
Mashiro shouted in the room and there was no more movement. Nangong Zhe could only leave slowly.
Mashiro looked at the breakfast on the table. She did not know why, but she blushed.
"At least you have some snacks …"
…
Nangong Zhe came out of the hotel. He did not know what to do and started to wander around. After all, Nangong Zhe did not know much about the local customs other than coming here during the war.
After all, the war had started. How many people could live and work in peace in the city?
Just as Nangong Zhe was wandering around, he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him. A lot of people gathered together.
"Hurry up and give me the money! This is our boss's territory! "
A person who was obviously a hoodlum was shouting at the boss of a shop.
Nangong Zhe took a look and whispered to the onlookers beside him to ask what was going on.
"It seems like you are not a local!" The onlookers looked at Nangong Zhe as if they didn't know anything and said, "This is a protection fee!"
"Although this Kikyo city is a border trade city jointly established by the Fire Country and the Wind Country, the two countries don't really care about it!"
"Actually, the two countries don't think highly of merchants. The status of merchants is also very low."
"The finances of the big countries are mainly determined by the taxes collected from the farmers. Although the country also collects taxes from merchants, many big merchants are very resistant. The military power of the daimyo is not strong. The ninja villages all want the merchants to be rich. That way, they can get enough commission. "
"The daimyo do not have enough power, and those who have enough power deliberately condone. This leads to all kinds of chaos in the market here and even more commercial cities. "
"That hoodlum is from the number one gang in Kikyo city. This boss is being taught a lesson because he borrowed money from the loan sharks and owes them protection fees! "
In fact, Nangong Zhe wasn't very sensitive to business or politics. However, after listening to the description of the bystanders, he felt that the current environment had reached a strange balance.
Only by breaking this balance can the business and maybe other industries recover their vitality.
Even Nangong Zhe understood, how can the big people not understand? Although the meat eaters are despicable, it does not mean that they are brainless.
There may be more secrets that Nangong Zhe did not know.
Just as Nangong Zhe was listening to the people's analysis, the situation escalated.
The hoodlum took out a knife and put it on the boss's neck.
"Kid! If you can't pay, then think about what you can pay! If you can't pay, then you can pay with your cheap life. "
Just as the hoodlum was about to take out the knife, a hand grabbed his wrist.
"Little brother, this is a bit too much!"
The person who grabbed the hoodlum's hand was naturally Nangong Zhe. In fact, Nangong Zhe did not want to help. If you borrowed money from a high-risk loan shark, then you should be prepared to be exploited. You only have yourself to blame! But it was a bit too much to take someone's life so easily.
"Who do you think you are? You dare to meddle in my business? Here, I am the law, I am the rule. This kid did not follow the rules, so he should be punished! "
The hoodlum looked at Nangong Zhe who grabbed his wrist. The huge strength made the hoodlum feel a little guilty. Although his words were still arrogant, he had restrained himself a lot.
"Little brother, we are all here to make a living. Give me some face! This boss must know his mistake. As long as this shop is here, there will be a chance to pay back. It is not wise to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Isn't it demeaning to kill someone within seven steps? "Nangong Zhe did not plan to make a move and spoke nicely to the hoodlum. But his sharp eyes were staring at the hoodlum, which made the hoodlum shiver. He could only put down the knife in his hand and run away.
