The sky above Imperial dimmed as the sun behind the gray clouds descend to allow the moon to take its place. However, despite the sky's transition, the quenching rain did not subdue.

Underneath the rain, an orange Audi r8 rev in view as it pulls up to a stop in front of a small restaurant. Stepping out into view after opening the door was Xu Long.

He stares up at the restaurant as it was the same restaurant, they brought one of Chu Li Xiang's men after the tragic loss of Yue Ling and Lu Tian's baby. [Refer to Ch. 444: His head]

Shutting the door to his extravagant car gifted by his boss lady, he strides to the front door to the place.

He wore an all-black tailored suit with a white dress shirt under and a black-tie at his neck. His hair was neatly combed to one side making him look completely different from his usual assistant look.

To those who saw him, he looked cool and collected, but inside he was full of tears. How can he forget to bring an umbrella? Now his hard work on his appearance has gone to waste.

He quickly enters the restaurant and motions a quick Harlem shake to rid of any water residue that was on his body.

"Uh… Xu Long, are you dog?"

An elderly man with white hair asked from behind the front counter when he saw what the assistant was doing.

Xu Long's cheeks burned red at the fact that someone saw him. He clears his throat and straightens his tie.

"Are they here?"

The elderly man sighs and shakes his head at Xu Long's unusual behavior. He is old but never has he met anyone with a personality like the assistant.

However, he doesn't say this to Xu Long as he did not want to hurt the boy's feelings.

Picking up a newspaper on the counter, he nudges with his chin in a direction.

"Only one came."

Without saying any more, he blocks himself from the assistant's view like he had become invisible.

Xu Long rolled his eyes at the old man. He stuck his tongue out and turn to look in the direction he was pointed to.

Seated in the far back corner of the place, a man with long hair tied up in a ponytail. He wore white jeans with a matching white denim jacket. On the side of the sleeves was a blue line along with the side of the jacket that wrapped around his waist.

The man was oblivious of Xu Long's arrival as his head was lowered down and eyes on his phone.

Xu Long's mouth turned upside down and his face scrunch in aversion at how cool the man looked.

He wipes off his expression and strides over to the table. When he reached the empty chair across from the man, he places his briefcase down with a light thud.

"Are you Kira Yamato?"

Kira was focused on his phone since he arrived at the restaurant. Qin Jun told him to come and meet Lu Tian's assistant because he (Qin Jun) and Song Jing Li were going to meet another source who had information on Choi Li Sun's whereabouts.n

When he heard the assistant, he looks up and arches a brow in amusement.

"You're Xu Long?"

Hearing the man say his name like they were close friends, Xu Long scoffs a chuckle. He pulls the empty out and lifts his left leg. He slams his foot on the seat and his left elbow lowers to rest on his knee with his index finger pointing at him.

"I am James Long Bong."

"…"

Kira was stupefied by the assistant. He doesn't hold himself back and snort a laugh in Xu Long's face.

"I see."

His head nods in understanding and he tilts his head to observe the man's appearance.

"So that's why you're dressed like an intelligence agent in the Secret Intelligence Service."

When his eyes look back at Xu Long's face, the space between his brows crease and he touched his chin.

"But I thought, James Bond, is British."

Xu Long's eyes widen in disbelief. His mouth opens and closes as he scoffs before fanning himself with his hand. He lowers his foot on the chair and slams one palm on the table.

"If I'm not mistaken, Kira Yamato is the main protagonist of an anime series."

He stares with wide protruding eyes at Kira without blinking.

"Are you here in Imperial because your girlfriend, Lacus left you?"

His words fell and he raises his hand on the table. He gestures to the left with his palm facing up and his head following then does the same to the right.

"What about your fraternal twin sister, where is she? Hm? Do you even have a twin sister?"

"…"

For the first and second time in his life, Kira was dumbstruck by his encounter with Xu Long. He could only blink his heavy eyes and question his entire existence in the world.

However, the main question in his head is, how in the world did the fearsome Lu Tian land himself an assistant like this?

The two men stare at each other without batting an eye. If one were to see them, they would think the two were in the middle of a staring contest.

Even sparks of lightning can be seen as the two battle like two enemies meeting for a final throw down.

However, just when the situation was about to go down, both men's stern expression changed, and a loud hysterical laugh sound from them.

Xu Long: "You're so cool, bro. I want to have your name."

Kira: "No you're cooler. I want to be James Bond too."

The elderly man behind the front counter lowers the newspaper blocking him and he stares at the only two customers in his restaurant. Seeing them laugh like maniacs who had escaped from the psychiatric hospital, he shakes his head and raises the newspaper again.

"An imbecile can always spot another imbecile."

Xu Long: "Old man! We can hear you!"

Kira: *Sob "This is my first time here. How can you be so mean to me?"

Elderly man: "I'm too old for this…"
