"As the last of the Pinta Island turtles, everyone wants George to have offspring, even if it's with a female of another subspecies so that at least some of the genes of the Pinta Island turtles can be preserved. The news said that the zoologists had found other kinds of female elephant turtles for him, but George was reluctant to get close to the ones they found, and the zoologists were anxious to know what kind of female George would like." When I read the news, I suddenly had the strange idea that it wasn't that George didn't like the female turtles the zoologists had found for him, but that George didn't want to get involved with them at all, that it didn't matter to him whether he had offspring or not, that he just wanted to get out of the national park and crawl to the puddle he was in and roll around in the mud. So Gattuso, if you were George, would you choose to stay in the national park and try to breed with the female turtles, or would you chew through the national park fence and crawl back to your watering hole?"

"Bite through the barbed wire." Caesar said, "It's like saying I'm the only human left in the world, no matter how many female gorillas you get me I won't have forbidden love with them, my ideal is to crawl back to Portofino to die as the last human in history looking out over the ocean."

"Boss you say crawl back ...... you have well put yourself in place of the elephant turtle." Lu Mingfei said.

"George is the last Pita Island elephant turtle in the world, and I am the last source family descendant in the world, the last Pita Island elephant turtle should work hard to breed offspring for the race not to die, and the last source family descendant should revive the family's prestige in the mob, but George just wants to go back to his puddle and roll around, and I just want to go sell sunscreen on the celestial beach. " Genji Wakizashi stared into Caesar's eyes, "That's the kind of person I am. The Yakuza business of the Okiha family and the mission of the Secret Party is not important to me, and my ambition in life is to go sell sunscreen. I'm not the same kind of person as your uncle."

"Then why haven't you gone? If you jumped on a plane at midnight, you'd be feeding pigeons in the South American sun by the time the mission starts tomorrow night." Caesar said, "We can take care of the mission ourselves."

"Is that a challenge to me?" Genchiyo's eyes sharpened and a cold smile tugged at his lips.

"Sort of." Caesar stretched his body and leaned against the wooden handrail of the circle, "If you accept this challenge to jump on a plane and leave Tokyo tonight, I promise I won't tell anyone, and will also jump on a plane to find you after the mission is done, and bring all the girls from the student council with me, so they can all wear white lace dresses and we can drink on the beach."

"What do you mean?" This time it was Genchiyo's turn to not understand.

"The most memorable trip in life is the one where you jump in a car with a full tank of gas with some psycho who comes under your window and yells at you, waving a map and rushing off into the night! Not even figuring out which direction the destination was, just trying to run as far away as possible." Caesar raised his eyebrows, "There shouldn't be any cage in the world that can trap a real man, with one exception, and that's the girl you like."

"Do you have a girl you like?".

"To be precise, a fiancée!" Caesar looked out at the pouring rain, "It was raining the night I fell in love with her, and she was driving around the dorm building in her convertible like a little maniac, shouting 'I'm going to Chicago, anyone wants to go to Chicago with me? She was a freshman at the time and every window in the entire dorm building was shot all the upperclassmen boys were looking down at her and I bet everyone loved her at that moment. She had her convertible top open, her hair soaking wet from the rain, her dress sticking to her body in such wonderful lines, her eyes so bright."

"You were impressed?" Genchiyo asked.

"What more do you need to ask? The first thing I did was to draw my Desert Eagle and jump from the third floor while firing my gun into the air!"

"I can understand that you jumped straight down from the third floor to grab time, but why did you fire both guns?"

"To scare the other psychos before they jump ahead." Caesar scratched his head, "But I just jumped on her car and I was pointed at by dozens of guns, by those guys from the campus ministry who said they couldn't use firearms on campus except for one day of freedom. Then we were both taken wet to the disciplinary board to be lectured by Professor Manstein ...... If you don't want to stay in this city and be a mob boss, you should leave regardless, think about maybe a girl is waiting for you on that flight and if you don't go her next seat will be taken by a bald salty guy And if you don't go, her seat will be taken by a bald, salty guy, and you can run over there right now and put a gun to the salty guy's brow and tell him to give up his seat for you and fly to the celestial beaches of France with the girl you like! Isn't that great?"

"Awesome." Gensokyo raised his glass, "Let's drink to the idea of being awesome."

All four of them drained their glasses. It is indeed an idea worth toasting, Caesar is like this, usually a little reserved, after drinking wine is full of surging positive energy, even from his mouth out of the youth ah we just want to run towards the sun such silly lines, but also for no reason to move the heart. Even Lu Mingfei also moved, imagine that moment in the pouring rain Caesar's hands holding Desert Eagle continuous shooting from the third-floor window leaped down to the king's posture to announce that they want to occupy the passenger seat of Nuo Nuo, gunfire reflected under the guy is bound to be handsome burst, probably even Nuo Nuo kind of girl can not refuse. Lu Mingfei would love to be the protagonist of that scene, morning star-like.

"But I can't do it." Genchiyo put the porcelain cup on the table.

"Can't let go of the position of the family head?" Caesar frowned.

Without answering, Genjisei got up and walked to the terrace to look out over Tokyo in the rain: "This city was called Edo[1] back then, and when it rains I feel that Tokyo becomes Edo again, with candlelight and fire. It was then the most fashionable city in Japan, where the Shogun opened his residence, the Portuguese sold iron cannons and red-coated cannons at the port, and girls with baskets walked the streets selling imported goods in small metal boxes. In those days, the samurai still had the right to wear swords and always walked in the middle of the street with their heads held high, and if civilians got in the way the samurai would draw their swords and threaten to cut them down, and at night the Vaisnavas were very active, and the Shogunate dignitaries were in a state of fear. The yakuza in Edo Castle was formed at that time when the yakuza were formed by fallen samurai, craftsmen, dockworkers, and prostitutes, who made a living by their skills and formed guilds in order not to be bullied by others."

"I thought the Yakuza in Japan was run by the Yakuza of Oki." Lu Mingfei said.
