Midnight.
Torrential rain poured down, relentlessly eroding the night sky.
Taking advantage of the thick darkness, an airship slowly descended onto the top of a tall hotel.
This landing pad was a small private airship exclusive area equipped only by the highest-class hotels.
In the bustling metropolis of Yorknew City, various airships shuttled back and forth.
After all, most of these airships were the private property of important figures, many registered under different companies or individuals.
This airship deliberately circled halfway around before quietly approaching from another direction.
Once it had steadily landed on the rooftop, three figures dressed in black raincoats quickly disembarked from the airship.
Following the rooftop passage, they soon arrived at the alley next to the hotel.
A luxurious mafia sedan had already been waiting there for a long time.
After picking up the three, the sedan drove around the city for a while before finally arriving at a secret mafia stronghold.
Upon entering the stronghold, the three took off their raincoats; they were Kevin, Pairo, and Rosana.
Light stood at the entrance with two bodyguards, clearly having waited for a long time.
Kevin walked forward and shook hands with him briefly.
"Thank you for your help. Honestly, I didn't expect you to agree to my request so readily."
While still on the airship, Kevin had been thinking about how to slip away from Yorknew City without anyone knowing or leaving any trace.
The method he thought of was "hitchhiking."
Kevin had stayed in this city for some time before and had a general understanding of it.
In this city, officials, businessmen, and the mafia colluded with each other, their relationships complex. It could almost be said that the city was controlled by the [Mafia].
The world's largest annual auction was organized and planned by the top tier of the mafia, the [Ten Old Heads].
Taking advantage of this opportunity, mafia groups controlling various regions from around the world would gather here to discuss matters for the coming year and resolve conflicts and misunderstandings among themselves.
It was no exaggeration to say that this was a complete mafia city.
Because of the hundred million Light had given him before, Kevin had a deep impression of him and had learned a little about Light.
Compared to the large mafia families, Light's family could only be considered small fry.
Even so, Light controlled a remote city and could be called an underground emperor in that area.
Kevin learned that Light's family would soon complete their affairs and leave Yorknew City, so Light would most likely take this opportunity to return to his original city.
This became an excellent opportunity.
So while on the airship, Kevin called Light using the previous number and contacted him.
He originally thought he would have to expend a lot of effort, come up with strategies, and pay some price the other party needed to gain their assistance, but he didn't expect Light to agree immediately.
Even after hearing that the pursuers behind Kevin were extremely dangerous, Light still readily and without hesitation agreed.
This truly exceeded Kevin's expectations.
It also made him a little vigilant.
Light led the three into the stronghold, arriving at a quiet room.
He looked at the three people in front of him. Just as he had guessed before, the man called "Eagle" was indeed Kevin.
His gaze fell on the two figures behind, and he roughly made a judgment in his heart.
That black-haired child should be the one called "Crow", right? And that blonde woman is probably "Swallow".
Their temperaments could be distinguished.
Although Light's observation seemed normal and relatively concealed, Kevin, who was already highly vigilant about the current environment, still noticed something unusual.
When the other party looked at Pairo and Rosana, there was something strange in his eyes.
It wasn't the look of a stranger.
Why was this?
Recalling his previous interactions with Light, Kevin always felt that this person had been acting strangely from the beginning, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
At first, Light generously giving a hundred million could barely be understood. Now, facing a known huge risk, he accepted it calmly. Adding to this, the strange look at this moment, Kevin silently raised his guard and began to observe more carefully.
"Let's introduce ourselves first. I'm Kevin, Kevin Carpenberg. This is Pairo, and this is Rosana."
Light nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Light, the Boss of the Nostra Family."
"You're seeking my help and are currently on the run. I presume you already have a plan for your subsequent actions. For friends, the Nostra Family will definitely provide full assistance."
Hearing this, Kevin once again sensed that Light's attitude was a little off.
This was too illogical. This didn't seem like the way the mafia would act.
Thinking back carefully, besides having shown him his strength, he had also had a conflict with him before.
But now, the other party inexplicably showed complete goodwill towards him, even subtly revealing a trust that was hard to detect.
Why was this happening?
However, Kevin didn't ask directly. Instead, he nodded and said, "Then I express my sincere gratitude for your help once again. Those tracking us are an extremely malicious bandit group, and their information tracking ability is very strong."
"Therefore, for now, we plan to disguise ourselves as members of your family's mafia and then leave Yorknew City with you."
"If it's convenient, we also hope to stay in your city for a period of time to avoid the heat."
After hearing Kevin's words, Light nodded very readily: "No problem, I'll go arrange it right away. Our private jet back has already been booked and won't leave any suspicious information."
"It just so happens that the family has recruited a batch of new members recently. Blending the three of you in won't be a problem." Saying this, he also pointed outside, "Everyone in this secret stronghold is a trustworthy member of the family."
Hearing the other party's thoughtful arrangements, Kevin nodded in thanks again.
After a few brief pleasantries, Kevin and the others prepared to rest.
"You all should rest well here first. I've already started looking for information on that young man named Kurapika."
"It shouldn't take long to get results, so you don't need to worry for now."
"Moreover, the massacre in the forest hasn't been exposed yet, so he shouldn't know about it. Naturally, he won't act rashly, as he only just left recently."
Hearing Kevin's words, Pairo and Rosana nodded.
"Thank you, we are truly grateful for your help." Rosana expressed her gratitude again, she herself couldn't remember how many times she had thanked him.
Kevin nodded and didn't say anything more.
At present, it was far from time to relax.
After returning to the room, Kevin didn't fall asleep immediately.
He quietly climbed out the window and carefully checked around the entire building.
He activated "Ren" and performed a simple detection.
He did not find any personnel acting abnormally.
There weren't many people in the entire building, and everyone was equipped with firearms. From the outside, it was unremarkable, just like an ordinary low-rise residential building.
"Be sure to treat them well, give them enough respect, just like you would treat me. Satisfy their needs as much as possible."
Kevin heard Light's instructions to his subordinates.
He listened quietly for a while. After confirming the relevant information, he returned to his room through the window.
Although he didn't detect any obvious danger at the moment, Light's attitude was truly too strange.
It was so good that it was hard to figure out.
Why was this happening?
It wasn't that he didn't believe there were good people in this world.
But the problem was, the other party was mafia! And a mafia Boss at that.
He really couldn't equate a mafia Boss with someone willing to assist strangers.
Moreover, his arrangements were so thorough, as if he knew their situation like the back of his hand.
But the information Kevin conveyed over the phone was very limited.
It seems he still couldn't let his guard down and must remain vigilant at all times.
Besides this, there was no other way.
At least for now, Light seemed to have no ill intentions.
