widely.
After leaving the villa, John’s steps stopped in a secluded park.
Seeing some groups leisurely basking in the sun, whether it was a family picnic or not, he wondered if this was Luna, but John’s head was quite complicated to think of such a thing.
Chick.
Sitting on a bench in an inconspicuous spot, John took a cigarette and inhaled deeply.
White smoke scattered in the air, and several women passed by John, but John paid no attention and just sipped his cigarette.
In an instant, the burnt cigarette turned to ashes, and John, who roughly threw away the butt, closed his eyes and leaned against the bench.
how long has it been
“It’s twisted.”
It was supposed to be a job to find and take care of a small child, but since that child was missing, things got messed up properly.
After manipulating the communication device to send several text messages and search for something, John stood up.
“I thought it would be over soon, but it will take time.”
First of all, it’s a plate that you have to grab from the accommodation.

“I have a daughter.”
“···daughter?”
Even though he is a tycoon of the underworld without blood or tears, Ivan is also a human being, so he can have children.
In addition, as the district itself is specialized in entertainment, there will be many temptations, and women are always attracted to a big man of about half a position, so it is understandable enough.
“I didn’t know that.”
“I hid it well.”
However, the information John received did not say that Ivan had a family, and it became a story that Ivan thoroughly hid the existence of his children.
Because the family can be a weakness for a man from the dark side who is in danger every day.
“You know what? no I don’t know much about the person with this ability, so maybe I don’t know.”
“···simply.”
John frowned at Ivan, who erased his stiff expression and smiled while talking.
Unlike his position as a tycoon in the underworld, Ivan was very talkative.
“Keuk. Listen anyway. Because it’s something you need to know.”
Ivan, who lifted the vodka, continued.
“People with special abilities can’t see their children well. Well, if you listen to what the doctors say, they say that normal female eggs cannot withstand the sperm of a person with special powers.”
and vice versa.
In other words, most people with special abilities cannot inherit generations.
“Well, it is said that the probability of having a child increases considerably when people with special abilities are combined, but there are very few cases where you are so lucky.”
Since it is already difficult to find, the probability of a man and a woman meeting and having a child among them will be even lower.
In addition, the child born that way did not unconditionally awaken this ability, so the merit was even less.
“In that respect, I was lucky.”
It was like contraception even if you didn’t intend it, and Ivan, faithful to his desire, did not choose the woman who came.
And from among them, almost miraculously, a woman appeared who had conceived his child.
“…you won’t understand that feeling. The feeling that my blood and blood had come into the world. You may want to reconsider.”
Watching Ivan tremble, John opened his mouth.
“Do you want to take care of your daughter?”
“···yes. It’s already been two years since I became like this. Of course, I left my child in the care of trustworthy people…but now that I think about it, they aren’t trustworthy either.”
The face of the meanest man in the back alley became pensive and became like any other father.
“Also, Igor is also a problem. He will vaguely know.”
Igor Borkov.
It is the name of the person who drove out Ivan and took control of the Pushkin Mafia.
“So is it me?”
“yes. Good timing.”
John is a complete outsider.
Besides, he is an outsider who has been living in District 53 for only 3 months from the slums.
The idea of leaving his precious daughter in the hands of such an outsider was difficult for a criminal to do, but Ivan was convinced that John was someone he could trust.
Humans don’t move on trust.

Moving people and continuing relationships is when there is a mutual benefit.
Clearly visible interests rather than vague feelings are solid, and relationships last as long as you don’t deviate from those interests.
This is the truth that the godfather of the back alley, whose virtues are loyalty and loyalty, has learned throughout his life.
“I also checked my skills. I also like the way things are done. In addition, I have something for you, so it could be a good deal.”
It was a confident tone that John would of course accept this deal, and John also agreed with Ivan’s appearance.
Because the principle of the transaction of doing work and getting paid was right.
“As you guessed. I’m going to start working soon Until then, take care of Lina.”
“It is.”
I didn’t ask stupid questions about the success or failure of the work.

John was taken aback at first, but without changing his expression, he was able to get the necessary information by roasting the woman with skillful conversational skills.
“It’s been a year since we moved in. If so, Ekaterina must have had trouble for at least one year, or from the time Ivan was placed under pension.”
The people Ivan left Yekaterina in were a couple of retired gangsters.
She manipulated the papers and pretended to be their daughter, and applied to settle in the relatively peaceful Area 56.
To Ivan, money was just something he could draw out and use at any time, and since a huge amount of money was provided to the couple in exchange for taking care of Ekaterina, they said that they took care of Ekaterina as if they were their own daughter.
Ekaterina grew up in a life where she received a good education and was treated like a princess, and it became Ivan’s great pleasure to see her from time to time.
It seemed that everyone’s happy time would last forever, but things changed when Ivan was put under arrest by a coup.
Ivan was the one who thoroughly managed the amount of support for the couple, so of course the support was cut off.
Ivan said that he supported a fairly generous amount, and that it wouldn’t be a problem to hold out for several years, but well?
Even though they say they are retired, does the couple, who were human beings in the back alley, have the loyalty to continue taking care of their child?
Of course, one day, Ivan can make a comeback and hold on, but guys with such admirable thoughts don’t permeate into the back alleys in the first place.
From John’s point of view, it’s either the guys from the underworld or the scum of the slums.
With a high probability, the child must have been neglected and dived.
“The thing is, it’s not the worst.”
The worst thing ever is for the couple to take the child to Igor and give it up, at which point John has no way to do anything about it.
Because John’s ability can’t fight the entire Pushkin Mafia.
At least for now.
“…Seeing that it’s still quiet, that’s probably not the case again.”
Igor would have done something to Ivan if he had secured the child, but I’ve heard there’s no indication of that yet.
“You’ll know when we meet.”
After checking the contents of the vibrating communication device, I got up and left the room.
***
The appearance of John coming out of a proper business hotel was no different from the people of Area 56.
A loose-fitting suit, polished shoes, a trench coat in a trendy color, and well-combed hair.
Anyone could see that he looked like a salaryman, and it matched so well with the street scene where the sun was just setting.
Neither the citizens of the street nor the public security officers passing by were completely unaware of John’s appearance and treated him as if it were part of the scenery.
John’s pace moved briskly toward the back of the shopping district, leaving the brightly lit main street and headed for a back alley.
“···yes. This is Luna.”
And the moment John entered the darkness of the alley, he could feel it desperately.
That the darkness of Area 56 is no less than Area 53.
Guys with dangerous faces wandered around, and pickpockets with cunningly shining eyes glared at John.
Unlike the residents outside who had implants but were relatively hidden from the outside, there are a lot of vicious guys who openly exposed their implants.
The appearance of John, who was more suitable for the street than just before, felt more alien than anything else here.
Numerous eyes flew to John, and if he were an ordinary person, he would have crouched down on his own, but John is not an ordinary person.
A few eyes changed and their faces wriggled at the sight of him crossing the alley with such a calm attitude.
The experienced guys refrained from flinching, but there are always hot-blooded guys everywhere.
“Mister. Do you like the clothes?”
“The communicator is also quite advanced.”
Guys with their heads up and with promiscuous tattoos blocked John’s way.
John opened his mouth while looking at the guys with similar tattoos, probably from the same gang.
“It’s a pretty good thing, though.”
It’s not that it’s not, there was nothing ordinary among the things John was wearing right now, so the squeamish guys unintentionally showed off their eyesight.
“…then could you share some with us?”
“Yes, yes! You know! He said that if rich people gave out a little, everyone could live well. What was it?”
“Co-Wealth Theory.”
“Yeah, that’s it. Shouldn’t you be responsible as a member of society?”
The sight of the guys giggling as they exchanged words gave John a headache.
Still, it seems that I have heard it somewhere, perhaps because it is a district with high enthusiasm for education, so it seems that the theory was completed by combining social responsibility and the theory of common wealth, but the direction was wrong in the first place.
Whatever it is, I’m going to talk about it.
“ruler! did you hear I mean.”
clap, clap.
The guys who were giggling took out their weapons with quick hand movements.
Some had pistols, some had sharp knives, and some had their arms vibrate before pulling out the muzzle from between their palms.
“If we put it gently, there will be no bloodshed.”
“Chuck!”
John let out a light sigh in the midst of the small-caliber guys who were aiming their weapons and giggling, and the countless eyes watching them with interest.
That time when everyone looked elated as John’s hand naturally went to his chest and put his hand into his bosom.
bang!
“Aagh!”
Like a lie, the huge revolver held in John’s hand fired 50 BMG bullets, and at that moment, the giggling guy collapsed screaming.
A person with one leg blown off would not be able to stand upright.
“ping!”
“what! You bastard!”
“Shoot!”
Everyone was shocked and stunned at the devastation that took place without any warning, but the violence has just begun.
bang! bang! bang!
“Quaaagh!”
“Ah!”
“Ouch!”
The bullets that flew in succession disabled everyone who stood in John’s way, and in an instant, the thick smell of blood and oil spread all over the place.
Hurry up.
Everyone who was watching John averted their eyes at the horror that unfolded in an instant.
teeting.
After reloading and discarding the cartridge case with a calm hand, John glanced around with a nonchalant expression, but soon stepped forward.
slap.
“aaa!”
“Turn it off!”
It was not a very clean alleyway, but blood spread in an instant made the floor sticky, and John walked down the street as if nothing had happened.
If left as it is, everyone will die from excessive bleeding, but it’s none of his business.
“I hate communism and Chinese people.”
By the way, you are doing Russian work.
No one understood John’s self-deprecating muttering, but it didn’t matter to them.
I just moved and backed away from John’s path, leaving bloody footprints as John entered the depths of the alley.
