Early in the morning, Jill who had come to the airport after waiting for a whole day, at 7 in the evening, she finally was ready to board the plane.
Before boarding, she also made a call to Choi Ji-Yoon.
When she called, in Roanapur the sky had just brightened, and being awakened by the phone, Choi Ji-Yoon experienced the pain Jill had experienced the day before.
She groped around the bedside for a long while before finding the phone. After picking up, she said with annoyance, "Jill, you must be getting back at me, right?"
"No way, I'm just waking you up to go pee, holding in your morning poop for too long is bad for your body." Because she was about to board the plane, Jill's mood was very good at this time, and she actually made a vulgar joke.
Sure enough, Choi Ji-Yoon said with a face full of disgust, "Jill, you're so gross, I'll remember this, once you meet up with the one you like, I'll definitely tell him."
Jill was taken aback and quickly tried to make up for it, "Just a joke, just a joke. How about this, Ms. Choi Ji-Yoon, once I get there, I'll treat you to a good meal, you pick the place, how about that?"
"What's there to say, it's just a joke." Seeing the joke had gone far enough, Choi Ji-Yoon stopped there.
Then as if she remembered something, she said, "No need for a feast, there's not much good food in Roanapur. But speaking of it, the past few days your man's been going to a place called Yellow Flag Bar to drink every day. When the time comes, just bring me along."
"No problem." Jill agreed immediately.
Seeing that it was almost time to board, she chatted with Choi Ji-Yoon for a while longer and then hung up the phone.
"Aiden, I've come to find you." At the moment the plane took off, Jill silently said.

When he went out for morning exercise, Aiden encountered a strange thing. Just as he walked out, he saw that woman who lived next door sitting in the stairwell, and when she saw him come out, she inexplicably smiled at him.
Though that woman was indeed very pretty, with a great figure, and in theory, a beauty smiling at him, even if he wouldn't feel flattered, he should at least feel it pleasing to the eyes.
But on that woman's face, he only saw an expression of watching a good show. This made him, already feeling uneasy, even more uncomfortable.
After coming back from the morning exercise, Aiden even told Roberta about this, but Roberta also couldn't understand why that woman smiled at him. She could only blame it on the possibility that the woman's brain had a problem.
After all, only someone with a problem would randomly smile at others.
But clearly, that's impossible. Aiden felt that woman must be smart. And after meeting this time, he vaguely felt like he had seen her somewhere before.
But that woman clearly had makeup on, and her real appearance definitely didn't look like now, so after guessing in circles, he still couldn't be sure whether it was that woman or not.
This state lasted for a long time until the evening before it got better, probably because he had mentally accepted it.
Not long after his mood slightly improved, Revy came to the door again, once again inviting him to drink.
Originally, Aiden was planning to refuse. Even an iron man can't drink every day. But Roberta, who had complained about his drinking yesterday, actually suggested he go.
Facing Aiden's confusion, Roberta explained, "Proper drinking can regulate mood."
"You didn't say that two days ago." Aiden was dumbfounded. Just two days ago Roberta said his anxiety was caused by alcohol.
"That was two days ago. Today is different." Roberta said as if it was natural, then pushed him out the door.
Just as they were leaving, that woman next door also went out. Seeing the three women standing beside him, that woman actually smiled at him again, and then gave him a meaningful look before driving away.
"I feel like, it's better not to go out tonight." Aiden was frightened by that woman's look, feeling that something bad would definitely happen at the bar tonight.
"Ah, what's there to be afraid of? Are you saying there'll be a fight? Don't worry, it'll be fine." Revy patted his shoulder and said.
In the end, under Revy and Roberta's persuasion, Aiden still went to Yellow Flag Bar.
Only, what he didn't expect was, as soon as he entered Yellow Flag Bar, he saw that woman again, she actually came too.
At this moment, that woman, also known as Choi Ji-Yoon, was holding a satellite phone and talking to someone. As Aiden passed by her, he vaguely heard a few of her words.
"Yes yes yes, after getting off the boat just take a cab to Yellow Flag Bar."
"Yes, he's here tonight too. Come quick, I already can't wait."
Though he only heard these three sentences, Aiden felt all three were related to him. Sitting on the chair, he began to feel restless.
"What's wrong with him?" Rock asked curiously.
Compared to Black Lagoon, Hotel Moscow and the Triads were bigger forces. Neither Balalaika nor Mr. Chang could come out drinking every night, so tonight only the Black Lagoon crew came.
"He said he's in a bad mood." Revy said after ordering the drinks.
"Then all the more reason to drink." Benny slapped the table hard and shouted.
"Bartender, bring something stronger, switch to vodka." Dutch also shouted to the bar owner.
Watching everyone echoing each other, Aiden sighed helplessly. Then he turned his head to look at Choi Ji-Yoon, and found she had finished her call and was holding a wine glass, looking at him. When she saw him turn his head, she even raised her glass.
So Aiden sighed again and muttered a little maliciously, "Really hope something happens to you before it happens to me."
But right as his words fell, Irina and the Blue Legion entered. Walking in front, Irina saw Choi Ji-Yoon, was stunned for a moment, then immediately pulled a pistol from behind her waist and pointed it at her.
"Choi Ji-Yoon." Irina called out her name.
Choi Ji-Yoon had long noticed Irina. When the other pulled her gun, she flipped the table and also pulled out a pistol.
Then, the two of them almost simultaneously pulled the trigger and fired at each other across the overturned table.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The whole table was instantly shot full of holes, wood splinters flew everywhere from the bullets.
The muffled gunfire directly drowned out the bar's noise. It felt like aside from the gunshots, all other sounds disappeared.
But the next second, the entire bar erupted again, because the Blue Legion members who followed Irina also opened fire.
Bullets flying everywhere caused who knows how many accidental injuries. Many gangsters and mercenaries carrying guns began to shoot back in confusion, and more people joined this sudden chaos.
As the fighting broke out, Aiden and the others skillfully flipped over the bar and hid behind the solid steel counter. Then they heard the bar owner shouting with a shotgun, "Goddamn it, it's you guys again. My bar's probably ruined again."
[T/N: Poor guy]
"This time it really has nothing to do with us." Revy shouted while hugging the bottle she just ordered.
But right after she said that, Choi Ji-Yoon also jumped over the counter. As she landed, she greeted Aiden, "Hi, not going to help out?"
"She knows you. Don't say it's unrelated to you." the bar owner shouted.
"Not helping, I don't even know you." Aiden ignored the bar owner and said to Choi Ji-Yoon.
Although hearing Irina shout her name proved his daytime guess was correct, in this situation he didn't want to get involved.
Even though he rejected her, Choi Ji-Yoon still smiled and said, "Then I hope you don't regret it later."
"Tch, I won't regret it." Aiden replied disdainfully.
"Don't be so absolute." Choi Ji-Yoon smiled at him, changed a magazine and added, "I suggest you take a look outside later."
Aiden curled his lips, "Not looking. If I get hit by a stray bullet, you're responsible, okay?"
"Sure. But by then, she will definitely have an opinion about it." After saying this, Choi Ji-Yoon flipped out of the bar counter.
"Wait, who's she?" Because the conversation was in English, Aiden could tell she was referring to a woman.
But Choi Ji-Yoon had already gone. He could only poke his head out and take a quick look.
Just that one glance made Aiden's hands tremble, and two pistols appeared in his hands. Under the surprised gaze of Roberta and the others, he jumped out of the bar counter.
At this time, beside Choi Ji-Yoon, another woman had appeared at some point, and that woman was Jill Valentine.
