Eight o'clock in the evening.
Continental Hotel.
Before departing for the hotel, Russell finally takes out the gun-toting Kensei and passes the entire game.
In a happy mood, he drove his Porsche to the Continental Hotel.
The suited Cajun remained at the front desk.
"Is Winston here yet?"
Russell asked, turning to the Cajun.
"Coming, in the dining room."
Cajun looked at Russell and replied in a professional tone that could not be picked out.
Nodding toward the Cajun, Russell headed straight for the dining room.
It was dinner time, but there weren't many customers inside the restaurant.
As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, he saw Winston and Kim and...
Winston remained in the same gentle manner, talking to Jin and in a low voice.
King and sat across from Winston, nodding his head every now and then.
"Here we go, let me introduce you to Mr. Whiskers, aka the famous Mr. Kim and."
Upon seeing Russell's arrival, Winston got up straight away and introduced himself to Russell.
In fact, there was no need for him to introduce himself, seeing that unusual size of Jin and, one could tell that he was Jin and himself.
Standing at 2 meters tall and weighing 200 kilograms, Jin and looks just like a little giant.
He's almost two Russells thick if you look at his size alone.
"Hi, I'm Russell!"
Russell said to Jin and who also stood up.
Jin and though he looks a little serious, he offers to extend his right hand and shake Russell's hand.
After the introductions, the three sat down separately.
"I wanted to meet you a year ago, and I didn't realize that I wouldn't have this opportunity until now."
Jin and looked Russell up and down and took the lead.
"It's not too late to meet, is it?"
Russell didn't mind Jinjin's ogling.
When he shook hands just now, Jin and had the idea of testing him.
But for some reason, Jin and eventually gave up on that intention and just shook his hand normally.
Still, that little gesture of Jin and trying to power up and eventually giving up was noticed by him.
"That's right, and it's really not too late to recognize it."
Jin wasn't as bratty as he was rumored to be, and his tone and everything was not oppressive at all.
If it weren't for the fact that his looks were so serious at first glance, maybe he could have gone for a bit of gentleness like Winston.
For the rest of the day, Jin didn't talk to Russell at all about anything too serious, talking kindly and casually as if he were a new acquaintance.
Since Jin and wasn't going to volunteer his purpose, Russell didn't bother to ask him.
Even if he doesn't say it now, he'll say it later, so there's no need to rush.
Russell talks to Jin and enjoys the top quality Kobe steak from Neon in front of him while he talks to Jin and enjoys the top quality Kobe steak from Neon.
He'd had many meals in the hotel's restaurant too, but he never remembered that the hotel's restaurant would offer this kind of prime steak.
The charred brown feel of the surface and the magical texture of the snowflake marble is enhanced by the grease.
The rich, unctuous aroma of the meat begins to mobilize the diner's sense of smell and taste buds even before he or she enters the mouth.
Gently cut it open with a delicate knife and insert a small piece into your mouth.
The meat is tender and soft, with a crisp and springy texture, fat and juicy.
It melts in your mouth!
High-end ingredients often require only the most rustic of cooking methods, and after a busy (and ironic) day Russell set out to experience the taste bud pleasures of a Kobe steak.
Simple to cook, original and fresh taste.
It was obvious that these Kobe steaks were either Winston's personal stock or Jin and had arranged them on purpose.
Top quality Kobe steak, 1974 Romanee-Conti.
Perfect match!
There were few ingredients on the table, but it was obvious that care had been taken.
At least Russell ate satisfactorily.
Pushing and laughing.
If you only looked at the surface, it was completely impossible to tell that the mob emperor, the top assassin, and the manager of the Killer Hotel were seated at this table.
When the restaurant's waiter took away the plates, knives and forks, etc., Jin and looked at Russell with a complicated expression, as if considering whether or not to talk to him about business.
Russell saw the strange look on Jin's face and didn't say anything, just picked up his glass and took a gentle sip.
The 1974 Romanee-Conti is a rare vintage though.
But to be honest, he didn't drink anything particularly unique.
Jin and picked up his glass as well.
However, instead of taking a small sip, as Russell did, he drained his glass of the blood-like goodness in a single gulp.
After putting down his glass, he slowly said, "I have a commission on my side, I wonder if you're interested?"
"What commission?" Russell put down his glass as well.
"I want one thing, and I want you to get it for me."
"What is it?"
"Dragon bones!"
When he said the word keel, Jin and's expression became incredibly serious.
Dragon bones?
Russell looks at Jin and with some confusion.
What was a dragon bone, of course he knew.
But the question is, what does Jin and want the keel for.
This guy wants to be an old, undead demon too?
"What's a dragon bone?"
Russell said slowly, pretending to know nothing.
"Dragon bones, are the bones of a divine dragon, you are a member of the Flower Planting Family, you should know very well what a divine dragon is."
"I'm sorry, but I've only heard of divine dragons in myths and legends."
At this point, Russell is showing extremely good acting skills, as if he really doesn't know anything.
"I can tell you clearly now that divine dragons are real and possess extraordinary abilities just like in myths and legends."
"I know where there are dragon bones, but my men have no way to retrieve them."
"If you can retrieve it, I can offer you an absolutely generous reward."
King didn't outright say where the keel was or exactly what the payoff would be.
In fact, even if he didn't say anything, Russell knew where the keel was.
Quinlan, the Hand Hopper, and the New York Underground.
First of all, the Kunlun place can be ruled out outright.
Even if Jin and knew of the existence of the Kunlun, there was absolutely no way that he could know the exact location of the Kunlun.
Then that leaves only the two options of the Hand Combine and the New York Underground.
Russell knows that there are keisters buried somewhere under New York, but exactly where he's buried, he doesn't know.
It seems that the Handshake Council is also looking for these keels, I wonder if they have any information that is a bit more specific.
Judging from Jin and's words just now, the keikis he knew of were 80% the ones in the hands of the Handshake Association.
Although Jin and is the mob emperor, is the New York underground world can not be ignored side of the hegemony.
But the Hand Hopper is no soft touch.
On the surface, the Handshake Society is just a crazy group of killers who abide by age-old traditions.
And Russell is kind of a peer!
But in reality, the Handshake Society is an unapologetically transcendent organization.
In terms of transcendental ability, the Hand Combine has more transcendental purity than even Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. combined.
After all, the Hand Combine is literally dealing with demons from other dimensions.
