Chapter 23 - Chapter 23

Southeast Florida, USA.

Palm Beach, about a two-hour drive from Green Dolphin Street Prison.

This is a wealthy area.

Mansions worth tens of millions can be seen everywhere.

And right in front of one of the mansions with the best view, a police car was parked.

Just as the owner of the mansion opened the door in confusion and walked out, the figure who got out of the police car startled him.

"Long time no see, Romeo." Jolyne greeted with a smile, then walked towards Romeo's mansion with Kai Ishida.

As for Ermes and Emporio, who had escaped from prison with them, they remained in the car.

Watching the two slowly approach, Romeo almost instantly wanted to flee back into the house.

But just as he tried to pull the door shut, a large hand blocked the space between the door and the wall.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound came from the door.

The alloy door panel, upon touching the hand, actually began to dent slightly.

At this moment, the owner of the hand also spoke.

"Aren't you going to invite us in for a sit? After all, the person behind me is your ex-girlfriend, isn't she?" Kai Ishida smiled amiably.

..."Alright, please come in." After a moment of silence, Romeo still chose to accept reality and invited the two into the mansion.

Kai Ishida was also not at all polite, glancing around the room briefly before heading straight to the kitchen.

Opening the refrigerator, Kai Ishida rummaged through it as if he were in his own home.

At the same time, he also found a plastic bag from who knows where.

He cleared out some drinks and ready-to-eat foods from the refrigerator.

When he returned to the living room, Romeo was trying his best to persuade Jolyne to forgive him.

He also proposed to rekindle their relationship with Jolyne.

Seeing this, Kai Ishida burst out laughing.

"How truly foolish and naive."

If it had been Jolyne Cujoh when she first entered prison, under Romeo's sweet talk, she might really have changed her mind.

But the current Jolyne was no longer the love-struck girl she once was.

She unequivocally rejected Romeo's wishful thinking.

"We didn't come to you for such trivial matters," Kai Ishida slowly walked over, simultaneously tossing a can of drink to Jolyne.

He also picked up a can of cola for himself.

He poked a hole in the bottom of the can with his finger, then aimed the hole at his mouth.

Next, he pulled open the can's tab.

The soda poured out, and in a short while, a can of iced cola was drunk clean.

At this point, Kai Ishida wiped his mouth and smiled at Romeo, saying, "Money and a car, we need these two things now. With your status, I'm sure you can get them easily."

"We have something very urgent to do, so we don't want any police or FBI to disturb us..."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Romeo threw a set of keys into Kai Ishida's hand, without asking why.

And it seemed he had no intention of asking for them back.

"How straightforward." Seeing this, Kai Ishida also smiled.

"As for money, I currently only have a thousand Mib coins as pocket money; the rest is on my card..."

Romeo took out ten banknotes with Franklin's portrait and a bank card from his pocket.

Just as he was about to say something else, the next second, he was surprised to find that the Franklins in his hand had vanished without a trace, while the bank card remained untouched.

At the same time, Kai Ishida's voice came from beside him, "This money is enough. As for the bank card, you can keep it yourself."

With that, Kai Ishida led Jolyne out the door.

It wasn't until the two were out of sight that Romeo's gaze slowly shifted to the phone nearby... on the street.

Kai Ishida was holding a wiggling tongue in his hand, and Romeo's voice came from it.

"Hello, this is Romeo Gish, residing in Palm Beach. I have important information to report regarding an escaped convict."

But just as Jolyne Cujoh thought Romeo had betrayed her again, the voice from the tongue suddenly changed tone.

"That was a long time ago. She didn't come to my house, or rather, I have no connection with her anymore."

"She called me to demand money for her escape. I didn't give it to her, and she hasn't contacted me since. However, she once revealed to me that she seemed to be fleeing to Mexico."

"Okay, if she calls again, I'll let you know."

The voice stopped there.

"It seems he isn't completely rotten yet. In that case, I'll let you handle this," Kai Ishida said, tossing the tongue in his hand to Jolyne Cujoh.

This was a replica, split in two using Ermes's ´´Sticker´´. Once the sticker on it was torn off, the item would return to its original owner, but it would cause a strong impact.

Meanwhile, Emporio, who had gotten out of the police car, took the keys from Kai Ishida's hand.

But he tried all the luxury cars in the parking lot and found that the keys didn't belong to any of them.

He couldn't help but feel a little confused.

At this moment, Kai Ishida pointed a finger.

"Look over there..."

Emporio followed the direction of his finger and saw a helicopter parked behind two luxury cars.

Emporio took the keys and tried them, and sure enough, it started.

"The world outside of prison is truly different!"

"Although I've only read about how to fly a helicopter in books, actually operating it should be a completely different experience!"

"I can't wait! With this, we can definitely reach our destination within a few hours!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emporio eagerly boarded the helicopter and began operating it.

Seeing this, Jolyne turned her head and glanced at Romeo's mansion, then smiled with a complex expression.

"Romeo... I'm really impressed with you..."

"However, for safety's sake, I think it's better to tear off the sticker."

"Rip!"

With a swift pull, the sticker was torn off, and the tongue flew rapidly towards the mansion.

Jolyne also chuckled to herself as she boarded the helicopter.

Under Emporio's piloting, the group set off for Cape Canaveral in the helicopter!
