Chapter 55: Fleece, Fleece Hard
Nothing special happened during the day. Gu He asked Fan Debao about Lorna's situation.
"Stay out of it! Whether it's the God of War Gang's doing or not, it's none of our business as middlemen."
Fan Debao was as unsentimental as expected, remaining highly wary of the Fist District:
"The people in the Kabukicho area, the yakuza—especially the old-school yakuza—still follow some sense of honor and rules. The people in the Fist District don't. They're just a pack of mad dogs picking fights everywhere. Even Lorna and her crowd rarely mess with them, so keep yourself out of it.
"Figure out how to survive in the Kabukicho area first. If you aren't dead by then, you can start worrying about other places."
After nightfall, the neon lights flared to life. Old Fan headed over to Licai, and the Fishpond closed up early, leaving the place in peace and quiet.
Gu He linked minds with Kasei Sakai, who had been waiting eagerly all day, letting her sensory-sync into his body for rehearsal.
He knew nothing about film acting. He was an uncultured guy and genuinely couldn't understand why this one scene needed so much rehearsal.
It was such a simple scene. She was to chase after her target, yell out a villainous taunt, and get shot dead by Chiba-Gibson.
