488. What kind of character did this encounter suddenly? Why does it look familiar?
The two people left like a storm, and the café once again returned to its former tranquility.
But unlike the previous tranquility that made people feel calm, the tranquility this time was the kind of tranquility that made people anxious to the point of going crazy...
Ren Amamiya didn't speak. He calmly comforted Morgana, who was blind-eyed because she suddenly turned into a cute girl. The shopkeeper on the side was no longer in the mood to read the newspaper, because the man who just called himself "Gong Zhang"
The guests made him feel very uneasy.
Because he is not only one of the collaborators of the Phantom Thieves, but also... his beloved daughter is also a member of the Phantom Thieves [The Phantom].
After wiping his almost bald head a few times, the owner of the cafe could no longer remain calm and shouted to the security camera in the store:
"Futaba! Are you watching over there? Come out quickly!~"
However, when he turned around and thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. His home was still some distance away from his store, so he went and shouted again:
"Forget it, don't come here! Today is really unlucky, the store is closed! Lian and I will go find you!"
As he said that, the shop owner, who was worried about his daughter's eagerness, began to take off his apron, and then he put away the alcohol lamp while cursing:
"That brat with wonderful abilities, who looks so awesome, is still threatening us and throwing us into the Antarctic? How is this possible?
Nowadays, we are a society ruled by law. I don’t believe that there is no king’s law in this world! What secretly rules this country! Who would believe such nonsense!?
If that doesn't work, let's flee abroad! Whether it's the land of China or the New World, I don't believe what he can do to Futaba and me..."
"It's useless. If it were him, he might really do something to us!~"
But at this moment, the bell of the store door opened, accompanied by a girl's voice that was as sweet as the bell, entered the store:
"And we have no power to fight against it."
"Two leaves..."
"Futaba?! Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to wait at home?"
Ren Amamiya and the store manager called out the girl's name at the same time.
With long brown hair with bangs, a shoulder-less trendy dress and a pair of green-patterned headphones, this is the network intelligence information collector of the Phantom Thieves [The Phantom]. The combat data is summarized and he is the brains of the team.
——Sakura Futaba.
She is also the adopted daughter of Sakura Sojiro, the store manager here.
"Your Excellency Futaba!~~"
Morgana, who was originally dull-eyed, was awakened by Futaba's arrival, tears flashed in his eyes, and he rushed towards the girl with lightning speed.
Although there is nothing wrong with Morgana who has turned into a girl and pounces on a girl who originally loved her, but... her mistake was that she should not have just revealed her long-ago gender.
Although Sakura Futaba is an indoor hacker expert, she still has the ability to hold Morgana's head with one hand and avoid her attacks.
"Mona, it turns out you are a boy.
Although you have always been attached to Xing's soft bosom in the past, and I did not refuse to hug you, but you are now a human being... let's pay attention to it."
He was talking to himself, not paying any attention to Morgana who was lying on the floor crying with no tears. Futaba sat directly on the bar.
"Give me a cup of coffee."
"Futaba! You!——"
The store manager looked at Futaba who was calm and lazy, no different from usual, and he didn't know what to say when the words came to his lips.
"...Can you just mix the coffee?" The store manager silently began to take out the tools he had just packed away.
"Yeah, whatever."
"Didn't I just ask you to wait at home?"
"You're too late. I was already on the way... Also, it's really embarrassing to see you calling my name through the tablet. Please don't do that in the future. Call me if you need anything."
"Oh...you kid..."
After saying that, the store manager stopped talking and started grinding coffee beans seriously.
"Futaba, what did you mean just now? Do you know someone's identity?"
Ren Amamiya stood up at this moment and asked while walking towards Morgana on the floor.
Futaba, on the other hand, answered lazily while studying the [Neural Link Device] left for her when Hoshikaku left:
"Well... if we say we know each other, it should be considered acquaintance, right?
By the way, there’s no one in Neon who doesn’t know him, right?”
"What? Is that brat famous?" The store manager raised his head angrily.
"Yes, it's very famous, it's just a pseudonym... [Shuangma Jiaming], the chairman of Shuangma Group, a leader at the forefront of science and technology, an immortal genius, and Neon's biggest shady figure...
Aren’t these all his titles? It’s just that few people know that there is a Gong Chang family behind Shuang Ma Group, and [Shuang Ma Jiaming] is just the pseudonym of the eldest son of the Gong Chang family, [Gong Chang someone]
That's it...by the way, [Shuangma Jiaming]...Shuangma Kana...Lian! Your friend is really boring..."
In a very calm voice, Futaba described the top-secret files that he had finally found on a foreign intranet, and then made up his mind and put on a collar-like [Neural Link Device].
"You all know the status of the Shuangma Group in Neon. It is impossible to resist them in the country, so it is not impossible to say that he is an evil magician who secretly controls the entire country...
Moreover, according to intelligence, the reason why the United Nations allows a country with the third largest economy in the world to belong to one person is because they can’t do anything to control someone. So there is no need to think about it abroad.”
Futaba said this, and for some reason the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up. The laziness in his eyes flew to nowhere, and he murmured to himself:
"No wonder, no wonder, no wonder I am no match at all. It turns out that I am not a level inferior in terms of hardware!
Is this alien technology?
This is God!~Hahaha~"
Looking at the obviously excited Futaba, Ren Amamiya and the store manager no longer had time to digest the shocking news they had just received, and quickly asked:
"Futaba! What's wrong with you?!"
"Lian! Joker! Leader! I'm so excited!
Before this, I had been guarding the information about the activities of the Phantom Thieves on the network that I originally had. I thought that the reason why the Phantom Thieves were not controlled by the country was because I did a good job... But I didn't expect it!
It turns out that they have always kept one eye open and the other closed! They have been letting us go!
Or maybe your friends have always been protecting you...
A few days ago, when they inquired about our information for the first time, I was completely defeated before I could do it!
Just like that person said, now that I have this thing, I am qualified to know the information and crimes about him for the first time!
How about it?! Joker? What are we going to do?”
Futaba no longer had the calmness and laziness at the beginning. Now she was like a crazy girl, operating something invisible in front of her eyes... very much like the appearance she had gained in the cognitive world.
Star technology has average capabilities.
Ren Amamiya looked at Futaba like this, first closed his eyes, and then, when he opened his eyes again, he showed an evil and wild smile that only few people had seen:
Chapter completed!
