Boom boom boom…
There was a knock on the door. Karen, who was telling Dana about the funny things that happened when she was with Alex in the past, paused and looked towards the door.
Alex, who had been standing by and listening quietly, and constantly recalling his memories based on everything Karen said, also moved at this time and walked towards the door.
Outside the house, Lupin and the other two stood at the door with serious expressions.
Normally, it would only take half an hour to get here from their previous location.
They will drag it until the agreed deadline, and in addition to doing some preparatory work, they will spend more time resting.
After all, according to Lupin's speculation, the person they are facing is most likely that guy Alex, and dragging their tired bodies to face a man whose strength is comparable to that of a monster is really stupid to the extreme.
Click.
The door was opened and Alex's figure appeared in front of the three people.
Jigen and Goemon saw this and grumbled to themselves.
It really was him. Before, Lupin said that he saw Fujiko silently mouthing the word "resurrection", and he guessed that it was Alex who captured Fujiko. They were still a little bit unconvinced, but now it seems that he really guessed it right.
However, if the enemy was this man who could deal with a dozen purple-skinned monsters alone, their situation would be quite bad.
For a moment, Goemon slightly tightened his grip on the Zantetsu sword, and Jigen also placed his dominant right hand in a position where he could draw his gun at any time, increasing his vigilance.
"Nice to meet you again, little brother. The trouble you left us with before really took up a lot of our energy!"
At the gate, Lupin stood tall and straight, with full momentum, and his monkey face looked handsome and imposing.
Alex's light blue eyes glanced at the three of them, fixing their gaze on Lupin.
"You don't seem to be confused that I captured your companion... Never mind, come in."
Shaking his head, Alex walked into the house. Lupin and the other two looked at each other and followed him in.
"Lupin! I knew you would come to save me!"
In the house, Fujiko, who was tied to a chair, looked at Lupin who came in, and suddenly she perked up and shouted coquettishly.
Lupin looked around the room and was relieved to see that Fujiko was not hurt. He regained his nature and looked at Fujiko lovingly and said, "No matter what happens, I will come to save you, Fujiko-chan!"
"Lupin!" Fujiko had tears in her eyes, as if she was moved.
"cough!"
With a loud dry cough, Jigen punched Lupin in the waist with a stick.
Lupin cried out in pain, looked at the murderous eyes under the brim of Dimension's hat, chuckled dryly twice, and became serious again.
He knew what Jiyuan was worried about, but after seeing the other two women in the room watching the fun, his heart finally settled down, knowing that the possibility of a quarrel this time was very slim.
But what puzzled him was why Alex believed in them? Or was he too confident in himself
Putting his doubts in his heart for the time being, he looked at Alex and asked, "There doesn't seem to be any entanglement between us. Strictly speaking, we helped you a little bit before. What do you want to do by arresting my friend?"
Lupin is extremely charming when he is serious. Karen, who was sitting in front of the computer desk, moved her eyes slightly and whispered to Dana, who was looking at Lupin with curiosity, "Does Alex know him?"
She was very sure that Alex did not know this world-famous super thief before, but Lupin's words clearly indicated that they had met before, which must have happened recently.
"I don't know. I haven't heard Alex mention it either." Dana, who was also a little confused, shook her head, but looked at the computer, her eyes lit up and she leaned forward to the microphone to ask Skye.
Recently, whenever Alex went out to investigate, Skye used her computer skills to assist him. Just because she didn't know, it didn't mean Skye didn't know either.
The three women were talking in low voices on the other side of the room. On the other side, listening to Lupin's questioning, Alex pointed at the tied-up Fujiko.
"This woman has been following me for a long time, and she even found out where I live." Alex said, with a dangerous smile on his face: "No entanglement? Hehe..."
According to the rules of the dark world, if one party arbitrarily investigates another party, it can easily cause a fatal dispute. Although Alex himself has never been to the dark world, he does not need anyone to teach him how to deal with such things.
Even now, Fujiko is still alive and Lupin and others can come to his safe house because he is concerned about that mysterious man.
Otherwise, with his personality, he would have devoured Fujiko's memory and killed him long ago, and there would be no chance for us to have a face-to-face conversation now.
Lupin turned his head and looked back. Fujiko also smiled coquettishly at the right time and said a little embarrassedly: "It's just the first time I see someone running upstairs, so I was curious..."
Fujiko didn't say the rest, but Lupin, who was familiar with her, understood everything instantly.
His face twitched and when he turned around, he put on a bitter smile.
"We met first, and then Fujiko investigated you. I don't think you would believe it even if I said it was a coincidence."
He scratched his head vigorously, looked at Alex's unchanged eyes, and suddenly pointed to the two ladies who were looking at him and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these two ladies should be very important people to you, little brother."
"So?" Alex's eyes suddenly turned cold.
He would choose to take a certain risk to set the meeting place here and let Dana and Karen come along. He did have some other plans, but if someone wanted to use this to threaten him, even with the man's connections and intimidation, he would no longer have any scruples.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else."
Feeling the dangerous aura suddenly emanating from Alex, Lupin raised his hand, his dark eyes flashing with brilliance: "Brother, you are very capable. Those purple-skinned monsters that could easily overturn trucks and ignore bullets can deal with more than a dozen of them by yourself. It is very natural for you to have the confidence to deal with us. However, from my observation, the two ladies beside you are just ordinary people. Just a small bullet can put the two ladies in fatal danger."
As he spoke, looking at Alex's slightly changing eyes, Lupin smiled and said, "I don't believe that you can't think of this, brother. I don't think you have any reason to let the two ladies take such a risk."
"So, little brother, can you tell me why you trust us so much? To be honest, I'm really flattered!"
