I've sent you Croissant and the new boy's coordinates. Lungmen's network speeds are remarkably satisfactory.

...understood. Once we've finished our respective missions, we'll move to assist them.

This is our chance to strike back.

Mr. Capone, the boss's hit on Penguin Logistics looks like it failed.

What's that meathead worth? I don't even wanna hear his name.

...Is that how we do it?

The Family needs a solid foundation. The name is the least important part.

Did you find the Rat King yet?

Not yet. He really don't leave any tracks around...

We gotta be patient. He's like a part of the city. He's Lungmen's shadow. It ain't like we got much time though.

But we gotta be careful. If the Rat King picks up on what we're doin', we could find ourselves fighting three sides at once.

It's the same for everyone. If we're locked into a tough spot, the best thing to do is stir up some chaos.

You got news of Gambino?

You deaf?

If you got somethin' to say to me, shouldn't you just say it to my face?

How did you get in here?

Not everybody's like you. Not everybody can just up and turn their back on an oath made before dad's grave.

Oath? That's just because we were walking the same path. But times have changed, Gambino.

You broke my heart, Capone. But I'll give you one last chance to explain yourself, as my brother.

Hmph. Seven years ago, when we buried the old boss, you sent me here, to Lungmen.

I came halfway across the world to set up a business that could support the Family, like a backstop.

But then you had to go and screw up in Siracusa. And what do you do? You hop on over here and take over everything I broke my back to build.

Come on, you ain't gettin' pissed off over some little shit like this. Or you'd've been dead a long time ago.

Say what you want. But today I learned the sharpest fangs in the Family's what's gonna turn around and kill it.

So you gonna pull out your fangs and snap a collar on yourself? Hah!

If you keep runnin' around Lungmen makin' noise like you do, sooner or later the powers that be are gonna get sick of it and wipe us out.

Your deep and heartfelt concern for the Family is moving me to tears, dear Capone.

The feeling's mutual.

You're rusty.

The scars you got in Siracusa are holding you back too.

Just give up. I don't wanna kill you.

No, you really do.

Heh. You know me too well.

Wh——

Well lookie here! I just wanted to bust through this wall and make a nice path... but it looks like I found quite a sight.

Sorry to bother ya. You two keep at it. We'll go around.

Hurry! Don't let them get away!

...I think we're out of options.

How about that. Our troublemakers came right to us. We'll just scoop you up and——

What is it this time?!

Heyy~ We're heere!

What a coincidence, running into everyone.

So, is it time for a final battle already? Seems a little early?

It's fine. The sooner we get this whole thing over with, the better.

Just throw them in the river, like the boss said.

This kind of chaos is just the way I like it.

Tonight's big winner is the one who walks out of here alive.

第二关（后）

*Pant* *pant...*

Come on, Penguins!

Looks like you two get along great?

Grr!

What'd I ever do to you?! I'll clock you one!

Gah! Whose side are you on?!

It- it wasn't me! It was that angel!

Oopsie. I missed. Seems fine though.

Get 'em, while they're—— Agh! What are you choppin' at me for?!

Sorry, but I gotta stay loyal to the boss!

Me too!

Oh.

What are you doing on the ground? Get up and fight if you ain't dead!

Y- yessir!

You can't be so rough with your employees. Do they at least get hazard pay?

It's kind of hard to tell who's who. Just try to get everyone wearing black on the ground.

Hoo yeah this is a mess.

Sure is—— woah! Mostima?

But it looks like you're all doing okay.

When did you get here?

The boss called me.

Hey, it's that weird-lookin' Sankta.

Get outta here!

Somebody needs to calm down a bit.

What are you even fighting over here? Let's all take a step back.

She stopped the boss?!

No! It's that staff! Look out, boss! She's a caster!

...Looks like we were right not to take her head on... Hey, don't get near 'em!

I ain't never seen a Sankta like you before. Or wait? Are you a Sarkaz? What the hell are you?

I'm just an ordinary Messenger.

Cazzata!

Grrr——

Time for an intermission... or are you not going to listen to me?

Who do you think you are?!

How are you all doing? It's been a long time, hasn't it?

Hey! Eyes over here!

A couple years, I think? Maybe a couple months?

Gah!

When your days are as rich and full as ours, you kinda lose track of time.

It's been about four years and three months, Mostima.

Yeah, that's pretty long.

Don't give me that face. If you keep looking that gloomy I'll think you've gotten sick.

Isn't this a touching reunion?!

Touching or not, it's definitely not the time to be reminiscing.

Are you really going to do it here?

I'll do only what needs doing.

...Okay. Just go easy on them.

Don't worry.

And it looks like I've got another customer waiting.

No matter how many times I see it, I'm always impressed how Mostima will wave her staff around all light and subtle, only to have some big amazing thing come out.

The mobsters're already scared stiff!

Phew. I guess I should plug a couple of them?
