...
Qin Fang sat down on the ship's side not far from Xu Ling, his body hidden in the darkness, making it very difficult to be discovered...
It was now deep in the night, and the sky was a little dark, which significantly aided Qin Fang's stealth.
Ti passed second by second, but the mysterious person still hadn't shown up.
Qin Fang couldn't help but furrow his brows. If it weren't for Xu Ling also appearing sowhat impatient and checking his watch more frequently, he would have thought he had been deceived.
Xu Ling was very shrewd and cunning, and it's hard to ensure he hadn't arranged for this scene today on purpose.
But judging from his expression, it seems this possibility can be ruled out; he seed a bit annoyed from waiting himself... didn't look like he was acting.
Qin Fang was still patient. Anyway, the battle with Tu San was over, and his strength had successfully advanced to Grandmaster Level.
For those short-term troubles, Qin Fang was quite confident he could handle them now, so he felt much more at ease and had enough patience to slowly waste ti with Xu Ling.
Ti continued to pass slowly as Qin Fang leaned on the ship's side, letting the slightly moist sea breeze blow past, feeling refreshed and extrely comfortable.
Xu Ling, on the other hand, was extrely anxious and sowhat impatient.
At this mont, there was a slight disturbance ahead, as if soone was approaching.
At the sa ti, Xu Ling's expression cald a bit, and he tidied his clothes, as if he knew who was coming.
"Oh, coming?"
Feeling the commotion over there and Xu Ling's change, Qin Fang also gathered his thoughts a bit, directing his gaze in that direction.
Xu Ling imdiately walked in that direction, seemingly going to greet the approaching person.
"Mr. Tanaka..."
As soon as he approached, Xu Ling politely addressed the other party upon eting them.
"Hello, Mr. Xu..."
The other party responded courteously as well, even proactively giving Xu Ling a ninety-degree bow, which is a Japanese etiquette.
"Japanese?"
Upon seeing such a scene, Qin Fang imdiately realized who Xu Ling was waiting for.
Although Fatty Zhang Xu had ntioned that the person Xu Ling was eting this ti was likely Japanese, Qin Fang wasn't entirely convinced until he saw it with his own eyes.
But now, Xu Ling had t with the person, and it was basically settled that these people were indeed Japanese.
Wrong, when Qin Fang ca closer, he discovered that Mr. Tanaka was not a young Japanese but an old Japanese man over fifty.
Qin Fang secretly took out his phone and imdiately switched to the recording function, vaguely sensing that this eting between Xu Ling and this old Japanese man, Tanaka, was not that simple.
To properly take down Xu Ling, Qin Fang needed extrely solid evidence in his hands; otherwise, it would be quite troubleso to hastily deal with Xu Ling.
Of course, doing small things like killing Xu Ling's bodyguards is fine as long as he doesn't get caught at the scene, Xu Ling can only be frustrated, having nothing to say about it.
But even if he killed as many bodyguards, it wouldn't shake Xu Ling's foundation; to thoroughly take him down, hard evidence was necessary.
This ti, Xu Ling's secret eting with these Japanese surely had so shady deals involved. Qin Fang secretly recording their conversation might not be significantly useful, but it would at least make Xu Ling quite passive...
And maybe he could catch this big fish, then Qin Fang would indeed feel satisfied.
"Mr. Tanaka, aren't you Japanese always very punctual? Why are you nearly an hour late from our agreed ti..."
After the eting, Xu Ling angrily questioned.
He had been waiting here for a considerable ti, filled with anger, yet these Japanese seed unfazed, which naturally made him unhappy.
"Mr. Xu, I am truly very sorry... Our ship encountered so malfunctions midway, which delayed the boarding ti, please forgive us!"
Upon hearing Xu Ling's complaint, Tanaka, the old Japanese man, imdiately bowed and then sincerely explained with a very earnest expression.
"Hmm?"
Xu Ling had no reaction to this, but Qin Fang was slightly surprised.
No wonder the Japanese hadn't shown up; they were supposed to board the ship midway to et with Xu Ling...
This would have usually been fine, but the timing and location they chose made Qin Fang slightly surprised.
Because the ti the Japanese boarded the ship was about the sa as when Tu San left the Princess ship, and midway there was a chance they encountered each other.
These little devils said their ship experienced a malfunction. Qin Fang found this explanation sowhat dubious because for such an important operation, their preparations couldn't possibly be so sloppy!
So if their ship did encounter a malfunction, Qin Fang tended to believe they were just unlucky to run into Tu San, who just happened to be departing from the Princess and heading to the Ryukyu Islands!
"I guess these little devils faced a setback…"
Just thinking about them encountering Tu San, who conveniently was just leaving, even though he's not sure what exactly happened in the anti, these little devils certainly wouldn't have had any advantage.
Of course, Qin Fang wasn't concerned for Tu San either. He could be called The Bloody Demon, so the tricks up his sleeve definitely weren't simple.
It's estimated that if these little devils didn't escape quickly, the entire crew might have ended up as ghosts under Tu San's hand.
Thinking about this, Qin Fang couldn't help but chuckle.
He hadn't noticed earlier, but now as he looked closer at these little devils, except for the leader, the old devil Tanaka who seed normal, the others had gotten sowhat wet.
"Who's there?"
But just then, a man standing behind the old devil Tanaka suddenly shouted, then moved slightly towards Qin Fang's side.
"Hmm?"
Such a turn of events startled Qin Fang a bit; he hadn't expected soone to be able to sense his presence…
However, Qin Fang was not in a hurry. With a movent using the Snow Traversing Step, he imdiately left that spot, moving as fast as lightning, much faster than the little devil rushing forward.
The little devil had just reached his previous position, but Qin Fang had already smoothly evaded several ters away.
Clang~~
Not only that, but the little devil drew out his katana in mid-rush, the long, shiny blade slicing quickly, aiming directly at the railing on the ship's side.
The speed of the blade was exceptionally fast, and the movent was quite nacing, following an intricate, bizarre trajectory. Against average people, it's difficult to escape such a slash.
Moreover, this little devil had Master Level strength, and combined with the explosion, this slash felt irresistible.
Clang~~
The katana swiftly chopped at the railing, the incredibly sharp edge easily slicing through and making a crisp sound.
Unfortunately, besides this sound, there was nothing else.
No people, no objects, not even blood…
It seed like this was just an ordinary railing, without any abnormalities at all!
"Sasaki, what are you doing?"
Seeing his subordinate's monkey trick, old devil Tanaka's face turned sowhat ugly, imdiately shouting harshly.
"Mr. Tanaka… I'm sorry!"
This little devil nad Sasaki opened his mouth as if wanting to explain, but in the end, he looked around at the empty space and helplessly lowered his head to admit his mistake.
He clearly felt soone's presence there before. His attack was so fast, confident that no one could evade, but the outco left him quite frustrated.
Not only did he fail to hit anyone, but he also had to admit his mistake, which filled him with utter dismay.
"Sorry, Mr. Xu, my subordinate didn't know better, making a fool of himself!"
The old devil's face was a bit embarrassed, especially noticing the odd expression on Xu Ling's face, he awkwardly expressed.
"Sasaki's like this; practicing martial arts has made his brain a bit problematic, please don't mind…"
To show that their side had no issues, he couldn't help but make Sasaki the scapegoat, after all, Sasaki caused the trouble.
"Let's not talk about this now, Mr. Tanaka. Let's discuss this cooperation!"
Xu Ling couldn't be bothered with the absurd blunders these little devils caused. He didn't co on board to watch such antics but for more important matters.
"Right away, Mr. Xu, this way please, so we can sit down and talk things over thoroughly!"
Old devil Tanaka understood. He was also very concerned about this cooperation. Since Xu Ling was personally involved, he naturally didn't dare to be negligent.
So old devil Tanaka and Xu Ling walked aside to discuss the cooperation details, while Tanaka's n imdiately sealed off that direction.
The strength of these people was not weak, with skills generally above Level 5, including three Grandmaster-level experts… that Sasaki was just one of them.
To be precise, among these three grandmaster-level experts, Sasaki's strength was ranked second, only slightly stronger than another grandmaster-level expert, having reached Mid-Master Level cultivation.
But among these three, there was soone with even stronger strength than Sasaki, having reached the Master Level Peak, nearly on par with Qin Fang's current strength. (To be continued.
