If she was still Roger, then it wouldn't matter if someone touched her.
Especially when he was in a good mood, he wouldn't care about these small characters at all.
But now she's not Roger, she's Anne.
Was that way of addressing her just now considered an insult?
Anne coldly looked at the people in the casino and the approaching security guards. She knew she couldn't use normal methods, so she would just have to use force.
"Who's your boss?"
"So you're here to make trouble?" At this moment, a man with a samurai sword and a straw in his mouth walked out from the crowd. He looked at Anne fiercely and said in a rough voice,
"It's been a long time since anyone dared to cause trouble for us!"
He gestured to the people around him. The security guards immediately pulled out long swords from their waists and quickly approached Anne.
The people in the casino became excited, but they didn't shout loudly. Instead, they whispered, as if they were also afraid of offending the casino.
Anne looked at them with a bored expression. Suddenly, she appeared next to the man who had stepped forward. She already had a short knife in her hand, and it was now resting on the man's neck.
The man's pupils shrank, and the security guards didn't seem to know what had happened!
Such fast speed?!
The man was about to yell something, but the next moment he discovered that all the security guards who were rushing towards Anne's previous position had a knife wound on their backs at this moment. The next moment, blood spurted out from the knife wound, and the overflowing blood splashed directly into the room.
Ahhhhh!
!
The moment the blood spurted out, it stirred up fear in people's hearts. The people who were originally waiting to watch the show in the casino panicked all of a sudden. They screamed loudly and then quickly ran towards the door.
Anne didn't stop them, she just looked at the man who was being held at knifepoint. However, this man had some backbone. Although he was a little scared being held at knifepoint, he tried his best not to show that fear.
He said in a low voice, "Are you trying to make enemies with the Hyougoro family?"
Anne narrowed her eyes, "It seems like I've never been the one to start trouble, right?"
She leaned close to the man's ear and said softly, "From the beginning, that man was the one who provoked me. Now you're saying that I want to make enemies with the Hyougoro family?"
The man's body stiffened. He quickly said, "This matter wasn't handled well on our side, but you've ruined our business, so it should be even now, right? I know you're strong, but behind us is Hyougorothe Flower!"
Hyougorothe Flower…
Anne remembered this name. This should be the head of the underworld. She just didn't know what the scale was.
"Take me to see your boss." Anne thought for a while and then said, "Don't worry, I have no intention of being your enemy. I just want to talk to your boss."
"You!" The man seemed a little angry when he heard Anne's words, but his life was in Anne's hands at this moment, so he could only say, "Okay, but I advise you not to anger Boss Hyo."
"Just do your job well."
Anne naturally had her own plans. She put away her short knife, and the man immediately breathed rapidly, taking big gulps of air.
The man looked at Anne with fear. He didn't resist, because he knew that Anne's strength was far beyond his. Anne's action just now was to give each of his underlings a knife, and then appear behind him and put a knife to his neck.
Such an action was very complex, but she completed it in the blink of an eye. He and his men didn't even see her figure.
He looked at his underlings again, while Anne clapped her hands and put her hands in her jacket pockets.
At the same time, she said, "Don't worry, my cuts weren't fatal. They won't die."
"I understand…" The man breathed a sigh of relief and obeyed, "Please come with me."
Anne found that strength was indeed the most useful thing. As long as you're strong enough, then anything can be discussed.
It's just that sometimes it might not have any effect…
Like right now.
She relied on her strength to get the man to take her to the Hyougoro family's place, but no one was home.
Anne and the man leaned in the shadows against the wall, looking at the huge mansion. It was clear that it was a place where very distinguished people lived.
But at this moment, the mansion was surrounded by a large number of samurai, and a man walked out from inside.
That man had a tall head. His entire head was like a flat oval. He was wearing a purple kimono, and he seemed to have a higher status than the samurai outside.
"That's Fukurokuju, a ninja from the Oniwabanshu. It's strange, why are they at Old Man Hyo's house?"
The man secretly saw this scene and said in surprise,
"Could your boss have been arrested?" Anne took in the situation and frowned.
Could things be that coincidental? She just arrived and ran into this?
The man quickly said, "That's impossible. Boss Hyougorois a proper yakuza, how could he be arrested?"
Anne closed her eyes. She amplified her hearing. Her Observation Haki was so strong that her senses were extremely sharp.
"Has Old Man Hyougoro really left?"
"Yes, he's no longer here."
"Damn, could he really be connected to thieves? He almost killed the future general of Wano Country, he's going to rebel!"
"Originally, we just wanted to investigate the situation, but now it seems like he might really have a problem. I suggest issuing an arrest warrant."
[For ten years, old book friends have recommended me to use the app, which is really easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.]
"This… that's not good, right? Oden is on good terms with the Hyougoro family?"
"Then let's report the situation here to the general first and see what the general says next."
After taking these words into her ears, she opened her eyes.
"You're Old Man Hyougoro's subordinate, right?" Anne stopped looking at the mansion. She completely entered the shadows, and the man quickly followed.
"That's right, what's going on?" He knew that Anne was very powerful and might really know something.
"Old Man Hyougorois suspected of rebellion and has left the Flower Capital. I advise you to quickly cut ties with Old Man Hyo." Anne said blandly. At this time, they had already left the street and returned to the bright road.
On this seemingly familiar road, Anne suddenly thought of the man and woman she had seen when she came.
Old Man Hyougorohad left, and it should have been recently, so…
Could it be them?
That man and woman were also carrying some packages and leaving towards the city gate, and they had also dressed themselves in a way that made it difficult to see their faces clearly, especially the man, who was wearing a hood.
Maybe…
He was Old Man Hyougoro?
