The Adventurers Page #3

Has he tried to contact you?

Am I a suspect?

No

I haven't had any contact with

him since he went to jail

I didn't even know he got out.

I know how it feels to be betrayed.

Nice try inspector. Don't

play mind games with me.

You don't know the first thing about me

I know that Zhang targeted you.

Then used your inside information

to steal the "eye of the forest".

So you want to use me as bait.

You know him better than anyone.

With your help...

I don't know him any

better than I know you.

Good luck, inspector.

Call me, if you change your mind.

Thank you.

How have you been?

I'm doing okay.

Yes?

I'll help you on one condition.

When this is all over.

You make sure Zhang gets

locked up for good.

Deal.

Now tell me.

Where is the "rope of life"?

Are you willing to travel?

Good to see you back

Kong is waiting for you.

Uncle Kong

I've been waiting for you.

I know

I can always count on you.

Well done.

A new hobby you picked up?

Not a bad way to kill time.

You should consider it after you retire

Taiwan boy.

You two are still working together?

Uncle Kong.

Good work.

Before your incident.

I knew you wanted to retire.

But I couldn't count on

anyone else to get this done.

This cheque

I should've given it to you years ago.

Don't worry. It's safe.

It know it's less than you expect.

I took some out.

For this.

After you got caught.

I put the word out to track down the guy.

Who stole the "eye of the forest" from you.

It took a while.

It was this bastard.

Is that a tongue?

Yes.

So the rumour is true. You did it.

There's a honor code amongst thieves

I can't kill.

But I can pay others to get it done.

Money well spent.

You're like a son to me.

Did you ever find out who

tipped off the cops?

Don't try to guess if you

have absolutely no idea.

You're better off not knowing.

I want to know.

It was your fiance

Amber.

I suppose I deserved it.

Is there a chance for one more job, so

I can score a big one before I retire?

Of course!

If you combine these three artifacts, it'd take

you lifetimes to spend what "Gaia" is worth.

All we need now is the "rope of life".

You have to be sure about this.

There can't be anymore missteps.

You know what's fascinating.

About nesting dolls?

You begin by making the smallest one.

The shape and size of this core figure.

Determines the fate.

Of the rest of the dolls that follow.

It's interesting, isn't it.

That's destiny.

Understood.

Let's hear the plan.

Now that you've taken the cheque.

Why not get out of the

game while you still can?

What can I say

I'm greedy and I like money.

A fortune is worthless to a dead man.

Do you really believe that

Amber betrayed you that day?
