04x05 - Welcome Banquet

[bunniefuu]

Welcome, boss.

We've got the 'Closed' sign up outside.

Who's that?

Our special guest for tonight.

You’ve already started eating?

Captain Xiao?

I was gonna call Qiao Ling to follow
up on what happened last night,

but she said everyone was already here,

so she told me to come join the meal.

Coincidentally,

there’s also a foreign guest with me.

Hello!

I'm JAE from Bridon.

What are you looking at?

You. Any problem?

Don't just watch.

Eat something.

I told you to stop gawking.

You!

A Yuan,

could you do me a small favor?

Stop!

This guy’s clearly no good.

Why do we have to work with him?

Do you know

why I went to study in Bridon?

You never told me,

though

I never asked either.

When I was a kid,

I was surrounded by books.

Most of the time, no one accompanied me,

so books became my best friends.

I read each book

I found with great interest,
until I got tired of them.

One day,

an old book about superpowers
lit the fire in me again.

It went into everything about superpowers,

including the origin -

Bridon,

so I decided

to go to Bridon,

uncover more secrets,

and find the ancient
organization behind them -

the Saros

What?

Bridon?!

Yes,

I’ve chosen the school.

The best university is in Guidu.

Why do you wanna go to
Bridon, a godforsaken place?

Just to show how tough you are?

You have no right to talk
to your brother like that!

Do you know how much money I
spent to get you into college?!

Some favors can’t even
be repaid with money!

And you have the nerve to be so sarcastic?

Just go wherever you want.

Thanks, Dad.

Still calling him Dad?

Shameless.

What are you muttering over there?

Having you as a son is my
biggest disappointment!

Stop saying that! Dad,

I’m your real son!

Studying abroad in Bridon

was just a good reason to stay there

long enough

to find clues

about the Saros.

Young man,

what book are you looking for?

No,

I'm looking for a place.

I dug through countless
materials in Bridon

Based on these materials

I roughly traced the evolution and active
sites of the Saros in ancient Bridon.

Finally, I narrowed it down

to a language school called Bahati.

Unfortunately,

the school was destroyed in a fire,

everything burned to ashes.

But not all traces, luckily.

I found proof that this school was
definitely connected to the Saros.

The fire was not just an accident.

Someone wanted to erase the Saros.

And I

must carry it on.

That’s why every single one of you

matters to me.

I hope we can stand united

as friends.

Is he the only friend you have in Bridon?

Are you coming at me,

or are you just worried about yourself?

The Saros

aims to unite those
with special abilities,

most of whom

are like the meat in the pot.

They won’t show up until
they’re fully developed.

So

to find these unicorns,

we need to take time

and be patient.

Let alone capture them.

Cheng Xiaoshi!

Have you no manners?

We have a guest here!

Don't just grab meat for yourself!

Ah! At your command, ma'am!

Guest first!

Oh god, you almost put it in your mouth,
and now you're offering it to our guest?

Gross!

Fine, fine,

I'll give it to Lu Guang then!

You...!

I've heard it's the custom
here to serve each other,

so I don't mind at all.

It actually makes us closer!

Way better than our cold,
individual dining back home.

Not only do you speak Chinese well,

but you also follow local customs.

Nice!

JAE’s parents are overseas Chinese.

He just grew up in Bridon.

He came here

for the case Xia Fei
was involved in earlier.

Come on, Captain Xiao,

this is a welcome party.

Can we leave the case for tomorrow?

To be more specific,

I'm here looking for someone.

Who?

Exactly!

Enough chatting!

Dig in!

Come on!

I'm curious ,

how did you escape from that hell?

Do you

have superpowers?

The first unicorn I found

was in a township hospital.

I often heard the nurses
there talking about

a kid suffering from a strange disease.

He heard thunderous roars
every single moment.

I found him later,

cured him,

and we've been close friends ever since.

But when you found me,

I didn't even know I had
any special abilities.

Because you’re different.

What I first saw in
you wasn’t superpowers.

It's

the determination to protect your family.

What kind of driving is that?!

You almost hit my sister!

My driving is perfect!

She suddenly darted out!

Brats, get away!

Apologize!

You made my sister cry!

Ridiculous!

Move aside.

Don't waste my time!

Apologize!

I won’t move until you do!

Hey, you!

Go on, hit me!

Just run me over!

If you don’t dare,

I’m glued to your hood!

Xiaoxi, don't pull me!

It was him driving too
fast that almost hit you.

He owes you an apology!

Lunatic little rats!

What bad luck!

Sorry, Mr. Liu.

The navigation showed the
original route was too congested,

so I took this detour.

Take this route again tomorrow.

If you lay on the hood a little longer,

we might have met a day earlier.

I heard about what happened
to your parents later.

I was truly sorry.

But when I found out you

had superpowers,

I felt more certain...

You are a gift sent from heaven.

Superpowers?

Please! There's no such
thing in this world.

If it weren't superpowers,

who could take down so
many vicious criminals

and get away unscathed?

Why am I the only one eating?

Why don't you guys eat?

Is it because his boss
was k*lled by superpowers

that his brain automatically
blocks out that word?

Looks like

playing dumb is one of your abilities.

Enough!

Superpower this, superpower
that... on and on and on!

Will you cut it out!

When someone doesn't answer you directly,

it means they don't want to talk about it!

If you're so desperate to know,

I'll tell you

I hate superpowers!

Where are those super people?

I'll k*ll every single one of them!

Holy crap!

You triggered my work instinct.

I nearly pulled my g*n.

Oh? Really?

I happen to be one of them.

And my ability is spotting

other super people.

Look...

Hush.

我开玩笑呢

Got you all!

Superpower? How could there
possibly be such a thing?

You scared me.

I was about to go for him.

By the way,

have you found out how your boss died?

What’s this white stuff?

Konjac.

I’m asking you.

What’s this sticky thing?

Well, I’m full.

Gonna use the restroom.

What made you set your sights on him?

Without him,

I might have come up
empty-handed in Bridon.

The sign outside says ‘Closed’,

yet you barged in anyway.

Anything urgent?

I know who you are.

I need your help.

Sure,

but you have to do me a favor first.

Who's this guy? Explain.

Mr. Liu! Mr. Liu!

Help me!

I’ll get you the information you want!

Help me!

Who the hell are you?

Why did you send a dog to sniff my a*s?

Two million.

Two million to buy my help?

Do you really know who I am?

I’m looking for information

about the Bahati Language School.

Mr. Liu,

I only need 500,000.

What you gave me before is enough!

Help me,

and I’ll investigate all the way for free!

You may name your price
once you think it over.

Oh,

about the two million -

that’s for cleaning up his corpse.

No,

Mr. Liu!

I’ll return the 500,000!

Please help me! Please!

Bye-bye! Take care!

Safe travels!

Goodbye and good riddance!

Bye-bye!

Cheng Xiaoshi,

stop fooling around. We need to go home.

It's still early!

The night is young!

We need more fun!

Welcome, boss.

Lu Guang,

Captain Xiao just told me secretly

that the cop from Bridon
really is looking for someone.

Someone named Vein.

Have you heard of him?

I’ll take this job!

I don’t want the money.

But you owe me a favor.

Welcome, boss.

Where is Xia Fei?

Well, he entrusted me with something,

and then he left.

Xiaoshi,

I need your help.

I heard from the neighbors

that Qiao Ling knows witchcraft

and can look into the past through photos.

I can’t remember anything
from my childhood,

so

I was hoping she could take a look for me.

But it's rude to call a girl a witch,

so…

I’m counting on you!

No details about the commission?

But not remembering childhood
is pretty normal, isn't it?

Lu Guang,

can you take a look?

Anything special?

The person who took this photo...
