"Qi Wu Zongxuan?"
Hearing this name, which is definitely not unfamiliar, Noah frowned very obviously, making no effort to hide his dislike for this name, or the owner of this name.
Sheng Tianzi did not expect Noah to react like this, and an unexpected look appeared on his face.
"What? Has President Noah met Qi Wu Zongxuan?"
"No, I haven't met him." Noah's frown gradually relaxed.
"However, even if you haven't met, I believe that no matter who you are, the name Qi Wu Zongxuan will be more or less impressive."
The Holy Son nodded in agreement.
In the country that used to be called Japan, there are now five areas where humans can live, except for the unexplored territories occupied by gastrulations.
Tokyo.
sapporo.
Sendai.
Osaka.
Bodo.
In these five regions, five heads of state rule these places respectively.
Setenko is the ruler of the Tokyo area.
And Qiwu Zongxuan was the ruler of the Osaka area.
Noah did not meet the ruler of Osaka, but he had contact with him twice on the phone.
One time was after "Fairytail" was established and gradually gained its reputation.
One time was when "Scorpio" was killed recently, and the existence of "Bullet" was made public to confuse the public.
Therefore, Noah is no stranger to this name.
The Son of Heaven seemed to have more or less guessed the reason for this, and spoke in distress.
"Actually, that President Qiwu made a sudden request to us, saying that he would come to the Tokyo area in the near future, and hoped that we would prepare for a meeting."
"A meeting?" Noah was stunned and asked in doubt.
"As far as I know, it seems that the Tokyo area and the Osaka area have not been in contact with each other in the past few years, right? Why did you suddenly ask for a meeting?"
"I don't know either." Sheng Tianzi glanced at Noah hesitantly.
"But, I think, is the other party coming for President Noah?"
"Me?" Noah pondered for a while, then shook his head in denial.
"No, it shouldn't be. Maybe Qi Wu Zongxuan doesn't mind meeting me directly, but I think that this time, his real goal will not be me."
"Really?" Sheng Tianzi lowered his eyes slightly.
"But it makes me a little uneasy that he has chosen this time to visit."
"Uneasy?" Noah tilted his head, looked at the Holy Son of Heaven, and uttered doubts.
"Why?"
Immediately,
The beautiful princess showed a look of distress, and after a while, she spoke ashamedly.
"Because, Mr. Kikunojo is not in the Tokyo area right now."
Hearing this, Noah's brows raised slightly.
"That is to say, without that old man around, you wouldn't dare to make contact with those big men?"
"I think I'm not very mature yet, but I'm not scared just because of a meeting." Sheng Tianzi said to Noah with a bit of reproach in his voice.
"I feel uneasy, just because President Qiwu and Mr. Kikunojo were political enemies who had a close relationship before the war. For him, the opponent in Tokyo should be Mr. Kikunojo, not me who has just grown up."
"So that's the case." Noah pretended not to see the Holy Son of Heaven's reprimand, and said to himself.
"For Qi Wu Zongxuan, the real threatening opponent in the Tokyo area should be the old man, but this time he came here at this time when the old man was not around. It seems that he didn't just want to come here to test something or carry out some political power. Do you feel uneasy because of the discussion on the Internet, but because you have some other purpose?"
"Yes." The Son of Heaven raised his head and looked up at Noah, who was more than a head taller than himself, his holy face seemed to be radiating light.
"So, I hope that during this time, President Noah can always protect me as a guard and attend the talks with me."
"Will I attend the meeting with you as a guard?" Noah asked Shi Shiran, holding his arm.
"Why did you choose me?"
This is also the biggest question in Noah's mind.
Apart from other factors, Noah is not a good choice for the duty of guarding alone.
The reason is also very simple.
Although Noah had obtained a police license for convenience and was regarded as a policeman, he has not had his own "Initiator" until now.
As we all know, "Initiators" possess power far beyond that of human beings.
Therefore, even if you want to pick guards, Sheng Tianzi should choose those who have a strong "Initiator" partner and a relatively high IP ranking, a capable policeman, there is no reason to choose no partner, IP ranking Noah, who has not been promoted because of this.
Besides that, there is another problem.
"Aren't there regular guards around you?" Noah asked.
"I heard you have your own escort."
"I was just trying to introduce them to you."
Sheng Tianzi said so, and greeted Noah, led him out of the room, and came outside the room.
Outside the room, a group of men dressed in solemn white costumes, about six in number, were neatly lined up in a line, standing there like a line.
As if they had been waiting here from the very beginning, as soon as Noah and Sheng Tianzi came out of the room, all the people present focused their eyes on the two of them.
Almost at the moment when the eyes of these people converged on him, Noah felt a very subtle hostility and even murderous intent followed, which made him pause, and immediately returned to his nonchalant appearance.
"President Noah."
Sheng Tianzi closed the door casually and nodded to Noah.
"This is my bodyguard."
At the same time, among the guards, a very tall man standing in the center stepped forward and looked at Noah with a smile on his face.
"I'm Howaki Takuto, and I'm the captain of the holy emperor's holy residence guards. I've known my name for a long time, President Noah."
With that said, the captain of the guard named Howaki Takuto stretched out his hand towards Noah with a friendly expression on his face.
However, Noah didn't even look at Howaki Takuto's outstretched hand. Instead, he raised his head and looked into Howaki Takuto's eyes.
In those scorpion-like, aggressive and dangerous eyes, Noah clearly captured the coldness and malice hidden inside.
At the moment, Noah glanced at Takuto Howaki, and the corner of his mouth curled up in an arc that seemed to lower the temperature of the scene. He reached out and held Takuto Howaki's hand together.
"I'm Noah."
The smile on Baowaki Zhuoren's face suddenly became wider and wider, and he seemed to welcome Noah very much, so that the emperor who saw the two people getting along in harmony couldn't help showing a smile.
Only Noah could feel it. As soon as he shook Takuto Howaki's hand, there was a strong grip on Takuto Howaki's hand.
If it were an ordinary person, even a policeman who was not lacking in exercise on weekdays, if he was caught off guard by such a strong grip, he would hum in disrespect.
It's a pity that Noah has been training his physical ability for many years. In this year, he has continuously strengthened himself with gastrulation virus. He does not know how many times, and his physical ability has far exceeded Humans, even far surpassed the "Cursed Son".
Therefore, Baowaki Zhuoren could only feel that what he was holding was not a palm, but a piece of extremely hard steel. The force he exerted on it not only came back and forth, but also bounced back as if there was no force , It was so shocking that his mouth hurt, and even his expression was slightly distorted.
Sensing that something was wrong, Sheng Tianzi immediately stepped forward and chuckled at Noah.
"So, President Noah, can you take over this escort mission?"
In an instant, Noah felt the hostility and malice from Howaki Takuto became more obvious.
Glancing at the incomparably beautiful Holy Son of Heaven, and then at Howaki Takuto, an idea rose in Noah's mind, which made him feel relieved, and smiled suddenly, giving such an answer.
"Yes! I'd love to!"
