Chapter 451: Someone Is Unexpectedly Stealing a Job!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At Tianjing City, within an ordinary residential block, three gangsters were gathered in a circle betting over a game of cards, chatting as they played.

"Boss, we haven't been doing so well these days. If we continue this way, we might not be able to afford our meals. Continuing on like this daily is not plausible. Why don't we come up with an idea?" said one of the gangsters.

Usually, these three gangsters didn't do honest work and idled about daily. They spent their days coveting miraculous free lunches sent from the Heavens. However, there existed few of such miracles in this world. As a result, the more they idled, the poorer they became. The money they usually gained from extortion and blackmail was used to purchase lottery tickets, with the remaining money only sufficient for instant noodles, enough for them to pass their days.

"Indeed, if we don't come up with an idea soon, our buddies will have nothing to eat. We cannot allow that to happen." The other nodded his head. "We don't possess Hong Dali's luck. Hence, it's undependable to rely only on lottery tickets."

"That makes sense." The boss stroked his chin before throwing his poker cards on the table and suddenly saying, "Indeed, idling around all day is not a credible plan. However, your mention of that wastrel Hong Dali reminds me—perhaps we could pretend to be beggars at the entrance of the Chenhui Building. Perhaps, with good luck, Hong Dali could tip us 1,800 yuan. Then we would be prosperous!"

"That's a good idea, a good idea!" Upon hearing the boss' words, the other two gangsters' eyes lit up momentarily before nodding their heads vigorously. "That's settled! Let's set off at once!"

Abe Haruta was one of the members of the Hatori Ninjas under the command of Tarō Gohon, Director of the Toyoda Conglomerate.

Within this secret squad, Abe Haruta was exemplary in all fields and was always highly regarded by Hattori Jiro as a trusted subordinate.

This time, after receiving the mission to assassinate Hong Dali, Abe Haruta was also dispatched to the Heavenly State. In Hattori Jiro's words, everything should be done the moment an opportunity arose—immediate assassination at the key moment. Being one of the sacrificial men of the ninja troop from the Toyoda Conglomerate, Abe Haruta accepted the mission gleefully.

Being dead or alive, these were not things an exemplary ninja considered.

In fact, he was indeed very intelligent. He did not arrive at Tianjing directly. Instead, he took an airplane and, through a transit, reached the East province of the Heavenly State before boarding a train headed towards Tianjing.

This undoubtedly reduced his risks further, increasing the ease for him to make various arrangements.

Onboard the train.

The carriage was packed.

Abe Haruto was cross-armed and sitting in repose with eyes closed. Suddenly, a crack rang out. A man who seemed to be a farmer sat across him, opening a can before throwing the pull-ring onto the table conveniently.

At that moment, a man who seemed to be a gangster sat next to the man, appearing to be bored. He then picked up the pull-ring before fiddling with it in his hands. After a short while, he suddenly shouted, "Wow! The first prize!"

Upon hearing the news that the pull-ring actually contained the first prize, the farmer was instantly agitated. "It belongs to me, it's mine! You have to return it to me!"

"What the heck, you claim that it's yours then it belongs to you? Does this thing have your name written on it?" said the gangster.

Their voices were not soft. They were heard by all the passengers in close proximity, all of whom turned to look at them.
