The bodyguard woman stared at Lin Qiansheng in shock. She hadn't expected that Lin Qiansheng, who looked so thin and weak, would be able to react to her sneak attack.
As Blackpah's personal bodyguard, she underwent rigorous training and was enhanced by the Purple Night Magic Ball; her attacks were so fast that most people couldn't even react to them.
Blackthroat Ba was initially stunned, but after recovering, he frantically shouted, "Haibara! When did you get here?!" Before the bodyguard could speak, Lin Qiansheng asked in confusion, "Haibara? Her name is Haibara? Then she's Ba's mother?"
Chapter 159 The Past of Black Emperor Pai Ba
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard instantly became agitated:
"What are you saying! How could I possibly be the mother of our Miss Black Throat? Miss Black Throat's mother is clearly our beloved Team Leader Black Throat Rui!"
"Hei?!" Lin Qiansheng looked at the silver-haired girl beside him and understood pretty much what was going on. Hei Ba was probably her real name.
When Hei Ba saw Lin Qiansheng's scrutinizing gaze, his already fair face turned completely pale.
It's that same self-spark again! Is Paiba going to lose friends again, and not even be able to buy someone a cup of coffee? Heiba felt extremely wronged. Lin Qiansheng's gaze reminded her of when she was in kindergarten.
"Want to play with me again tomorrow?" "Okay, sure."
Black-throated Paiba looked at the girl playing in the sand and left with a mumbled remark before running towards her mother who had come to pick her up. Although Black-throated Paiba couldn't hear her friend's voice very clearly, she did hear her friend's mother's voice.
"Haven't I told you many times not to play with Miss Hei? What will Mom do if you upset her!" The voice of the friend's mother scolding her friend came through the voice of Hei Lianpaiba.
Those scrutinizing and fearful gazes pierced Blackie's heart like needles. "Young Miss, should I warn them?" The bodyguard, Haibara, standing to the side, whispered.
Hei Ba lowered her head, clenched her fists, and bit her lip tightly, but tears still streamed down her face. Even though she got along well with those girls, their parents had warned her not to get close to her!
Why should she? She just wanted to have fun with her best friends! Because she's a yakuza heir, she's being asked to keep her distance!
Just as Lin Qiansheng, who had saved her, was about to be taken into her family's coffee shop, Haibara's sudden appearance instantly ruined the perfect situation.
Blackie's sharp eyes scraped at Haibara like a blunt knife.
If looks could kill, Haibara would feel like she'd been killed a hundred times over by now!
Large beads of sweat immediately appeared on Haibara's forehead. She swallowed hard and said tremblingly, "M-Miss? Your gun has been repaired and I brought it to you."
Kuroba almost slapped him. Although Haibara's loyalty was guaranteed, she wasn't exactly bright. She actually dared to draw a gun!
Blackthroat Paiba was already terrified of Lin Qiansheng after learning about her identity as a gangster's daughter, and now he's brandishing a gun! Isn't this just blatantly trying to scare Lin Qiansheng away?
Hei Paiba quickly turned to look at Lin Qiansheng, wanting to explain to him and ease his fear.
However, when Hei Ba saw Lin Qiansheng's eyes, he did not see any fear in them.
"Um, I'm a little thirsty, can I go in and have a drink first?" Lin Qiansheng released Haibara's wrist and pointed to the coffee shop.
Hei Ba froze on the spot. She couldn't believe her ears.
Anyone could tell from what just happened that she was no ordinary person.
But Lin Qiansheng didn't run away; instead, he invited her to a coffee shop.
"Could it be that the friend that Paiba has been dreaming of is about to come true today?" Paiba's heart was filled with excitement, like a tsunami.
"Really? Is this true?" Blackthroat Ba choked excitedly, her beautiful pink lips trembling and a layer of mist rising from them. "Of course it's true," Lin Qiansheng nodded.
"Didn't you say you'd treat me to coffee? So I'm not leaving until I've had my coffee!"
"Mmm!" Blackthroat Ba nodded emphatically, happily wrapping her snow-white, soft arms around Lin Qiansheng.
"Come on! Qian Sheng-jun! I'll take you inside for coffee!" Black-throated Paiba's joyful voice was as clear as a lark's. His silver twin tails bounced happily behind him, swaying gracefully in the air. With a click, the glass door opened, and Lin Qian Sheng and Black-throated Paiba entered the coffee shop.
Haibara held her wrist and followed behind the two, her eyes constantly darting back and forth in front of them. "Could it be that the young lady has found the young master?!" A bold idea surged into Haibara's mind.
After her brief exchange with Lin Qiansheng, Haibara had already gained a rough assessment of Lin Qiansheng's strength. Unfathomable!
This is her assessment of Lin Qiansheng.
Her strength in Black Rose can be considered top-notch, but she was easily defeated by Lin Qiansheng just now.
"It seems his counter-surveillance awareness is quite strong. He's been constantly alert to his surroundings. With such impressive skills, is he really just a student?" Haibara looked at the back of Lin Qiansheng's head, her face full of suspicion.
Lin Qiansheng seemed to notice Haibara's gaze, turned around, glanced at her, and smiled slightly.
Haibara suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, thinking to herself, "His senses are way too sharp!" She quickly looked away.
The three entered the coffee shop and sat down by the floor-to-ceiling window. A waiter jogged over and stopped at the table.
"Greetings, Miss. Greetings, Captain Haibara." The waiter bowed deeply and respectfully.
Blackie covered her cheek, looking speechless. Her earlier playful antics had made her forget to inform the staff beforehand. The waiter looked at Haibara somewhat helplessly, as if asking what she had done wrong.
"It's nothing, just give me the menu." Haibara waved her hand and took the menu from the waiter. "Miss, here's the menu." Haibara held the menu with both hands and handed it to Blackie.
Blackthroat Ba took the menu and handed it to Lin Qiansheng, who was standing next to him, and said with a sweet smile, "Qiansheng-kun, here's the menu." Blackthroat Ba's actions surprised the waiter.
"What's going on? The usually stern and unsmiling young lady actually smiled at a man!"
And she even handed the menu to this man, doesn't that mean his status is higher than the young lady's? "Just who is he?!"
The waiter gestured questioningly at Haibara with his eyes, while Haibara gave him a warning look, telling him not to say anything. Lin Qiansheng thanked her, took the menu, and opened it to take a look.
"What kind of coffee does Paiba like?" Lin Qiansheng didn't order directly, but asked for Paiba's opinion.
Hei Pai Ba hadn't expected Lin Qiansheng to ask her that. After staring blankly for a moment, she finally realized, "Ba likes cappuccino."
"Then I'll have a cappuccino too. Since you like it, it must taste pretty good."
Lin Qiansheng's praise immediately made Hei Paiba very happy. Her white-stockinged legs under the table couldn't help but sway slightly, and her silver twin ponytails swayed in the air in beautiful arcs.
Chapter 160 The Easily Satisfied Young Lady
Haibara glanced sideways, thinking, "This man named Lin Qiansheng is amazing. Not only is he very handsome, but he also knows how to..."
That's a matter.
Instead of ordering food on his own, he asked the young lady what she liked and then ordered the exact same dishes as her. "That's amazing! Maybe I can really become the young lady's friend," Haibara thought to herself.
The young lady's smile was genuine, which was the most important thing, and Haibara also hoped that Blackthroat would be happier. Secondly, given the strength Lin Qiansheng had just displayed, if he ordered food directly, no one would dare to criticize him.
However, he did ask for the young lady's opinion, which shows that Lin Qiansheng definitely also hoped to become friends with her.
Since he had this intention, and the young lady also needed friends, Haibara naturally wouldn't disturb him. "Haibara-neechan, here's the menu." Lin Qiansheng handed the menu to Haibara.
A faint smile appeared on Haibara's lips. Being called "sister" by a handsome guy like Lin Qiansheng was indeed very pleasant. Haibara took the menu and looked at it: "The same as before, Americano."
"Okay, two cappuccinos and one Americano, please wait a moment." The waiter took the menu and turned to make the coffee.
At the table, Blackie sat with her head bowed, biting her cherry lips with her pearly teeth, her fair hands tucked between her closed, white-stockinged legs, unsure of what to say. A moment of silence fell over the table.
Lin Qiansheng broke the awkward atmosphere first: "Baba, judging from the waiter's attitude just now, you seem to be a VIP customer of this coffee shop?" Lin Qiansheng tried to be as tactful as possible, throwing the topic to Blackthroat Ba and Haibara.
After all, the waiter's comment about "Miss" was already quite revealing. "Um..." Hei Ba stammered, not daring to speak.
Seeing this, Haibara decided to take over: "Miss is a bit embarrassed, so let me explain. Actually, this restaurant is owned by Black Rose." Haibara clapped her hands, and several female waitresses in service industry uniforms rushed out from the kitchen and stood in front of Lin Qiansheng and the others.
"Greetings, Miss! Greetings, Captain Haibara!" the group greeted in unison, as if they were well-trained. "Your Black Rose's business?"
Lin Qiansheng looked at the waitresses in front of him. Although they were all women, they gave him the impression of being people who earned their living through their own hard work. "It seems that Black Rose isn't the gangster-like figure I imagined," Lin Qiansheng thought to himself.
Then I thought again, even if the organization the female lead of the anime belongs to is a gang, they wouldn't do anything illegal or criminal.
"This must be a correction of the world's will; only minotaurs and their organizations would do evil." Lin Qiansheng thought that was probably the case.
"Is your Black Rose organization really that powerful? You even own a coffee shop?!" Lin Qiansheng exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Haibara. "Powerful?" Haibara was taken aback.
If other people saw a large group of people suddenly appear, wouldn't they be scared even if they weren't panicked?
However, Haibara saw that Hayashi Qiansheng was calm and composed, as if he hadn't been surprised at all.
"They're really carefree!" Haibara thought to herself, then waved her hand, telling them to go back to work.
"Actually, it's not just this coffee shop; the entire Nanpuan business is basically Black Rose's business." Haibara said again, making a startling statement. Lin Qiansheng, upon hearing this, exclaimed in surprise, "Hearing Haibara say this, I understand why you call her Miss Ba." "So, the Black Rui, the Blackthroat Clan Chief that Haibara mentioned earlier, is the actual controller of Nanpuan?" Lin Qiansheng asked.
"Yes." Haibara nodded. "Team Leader Kuro Rui came back from abroad alone and struggled for many years before finally establishing herself in Nanpuan, and at the same time, she gave birth to Miss Kuro."
Lin Qiansheng learned about these things one by one.
Just then, a waiter came over and placed the coffee on the table. "This is for everyone, please enjoy," the waiter said before leaving.
Lin Qiansheng picked up his cappuccino, took a sip, and said, "It has a rich flavor; it must have been made with high-quality ingredients."
"Thank you, Paiba. If you hadn't invited me for coffee, I really wouldn't have had such delicious coffee." Lin Qiansheng smiled and changed the subject.
Lin Qiansheng's praise made Hei Paiba, who had been hanging her head, immediately raise it, her beautiful peach-pink eyes filled with joy and happiness. However, the corners of her mouth that had been raised immediately fell back down.
“But Gangba deceived Qian Shengjun,” Blackthroat Gangba said dejectedly. “I’m sorry, Qian Shengjun, I didn’t mean to hide my surname just now.”
She felt that using Haibara's surname earlier was already a lie to Lin Qiansheng, and she felt a little bad for him.
"I know that Paiba hid her surname for my own good, out of concern for me, right? A kind and lovely girl like Paiba is rare in this world."
Not much left~
"Style? Cute? Me? Hehehe."
Hei Ba was so flattered by Lin Qiansheng's praise that he was completely overwhelmed. He held his blushing cheeks, extremely shy, and his silver twin ponytails swayed gracefully.
Looking at the young lady who was so happy she seemed about to jump for joy, Haibara couldn't help but think to herself, "The young lady is too easily satisfied! She's all smiles after just a few compliments."
However, she also knew in her heart that only Lin Qiansheng could so easily make the young lady happy. If anyone else dared to say that, they would probably be shot.
"But my identity..." Black Throat Paiba murmured softly, still somewhat worried. Lin Qiansheng slowly stood up and gently stroked Black Throat Paiba's silky silver hair.
Hei Ba felt the warm, large hand again, and her peach-pink eyes looked at Lin Qiansheng, her pupils filled with both ambition and anticipation. She was afraid, yet she also longed for something.
Haibara, standing to the side, gripped her teacup tightly, waiting for Hayashi Qiansheng to speak.
In the somber atmosphere, Lin Qiansheng revealed a gentle smile and said calmly and tenderly, "To be honest, I was worried that you, Paiba, might be hiding your identity and that something terrible might happen. But now I know that you are just an ordinary girl, and a very beautiful one at that."
Lin Qiansheng's words were soft, but they were like a powerful hammer, making Hei Ba dizzy and unable to breathe.
Hei Ba immediately felt an overwhelming sense of happiness enveloping her, and her heart pounded like fireworks exploding, as if it would jump out of her chest at any moment!
At that moment, in Hei Ba's eyes, Lin Qiansheng was staring at her with burning eyes.
Faced with such intense stares, Hei Ba blurted out, "Katsuki-kun, would you be Pai Ba's first friend?"
Chapter 161 Blackthroat Paiba's Invitation
Blackthroat Ba gripped Lin Qiansheng's hand tightly and placed it against his fair cheek. Lin Qiansheng felt the skin was incredibly smooth, like a delicate porcelain doll. Blackthroat Ba looked into Lin Qiansheng's eyes and said in a trembling voice:
“From childhood to adulthood, Ba has always longed for friends, for friends with whom she could share happiness.” “But when others heard about Ba’s identity, they all distanced themselves from her.”
“Only you, Qian Shengjun, have always regarded Pai Ba as your friend.” “Therefore, Pai Ba wishes that Qian Shengjun could become Pai Ba’s friend.”
As Hei Ba spoke, her peach-colored eyes welled up with tears, and a single tear, like a pearl, slid down her fair, jade-like cheek, leaving a silvery mark that evoked affection in all who saw it.
Lin Qiansheng grasped Hei Ba's slightly trembling hand tightly with his other hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a gentle smile.
"If this is Ba's request, then let me be your first friend, okay?" "Okay!"
Blackie nodded emphatically, a radiant smile spreading across his face.
The dim, golden sunlight of the setting sun cast a rosy veil over this beautiful smile, adding to its charm.
Hei Ba gazed at Lin Qiansheng with affectionate eyes, though she harbored another thought. Now that they had taken the first step of becoming friends, the idea buried deep within her could finally be put into practice. However, this was a coffee shop, and there were other people watching.
Hei Paiba didn't want these people to know her thoughts, so she decided to reveal them when they were alone. And speaking of a secluded place, Hei Paiba thought her bedroom would be a perfect spot!
Lin Qiansheng was unaware of Hei Ba's thoughts. He saw a large stream of pink energy surging out of her body and flowing into his own, filling his body with magic.
"Alright, alright, stop crying, you're all all grime from crying." Lin Qiansheng smiled and gently wiped away the tears from Hei Ba's eyes with his fingertips. "Hehehe..." Hei Ba chuckled, squinting his beautiful eyes like a little kitten waiting for its owner's love.
Feeling the hot palm, Hei Paiba's doll-like fair cheeks flushed red, and her white-stockinged legs under the table involuntarily closed together.
Heiba felt that she was deeply attracted by this warmth.
The heart within her, previously parched from worry, seemed to be bathed in golden light, warmed like the sun. Blackie gazed at Lin Qiansheng with tender affection; she wanted more! More!!
Watching this touching scene unfold, Haibara turned her head away and wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes. "The young lady finally has friends," Haibara thought to herself.
Although the Black Rose is made up of women, they all have a natural sense of awe towards Blackie, as they are in a superior-subordinate relationship and naturally cannot befriend the young lady.
And all of this was due to the effect of the Night Magic Ball.
