Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend Chapter 972 972: The Great Manhunt

"Baka, baka, all idiots, good-for-nothings..."

Being able to instantly control his killing qi is one of Xiaofan's traits.

It's ironic to say the least, just now Muto was afraid Ye Xiaofan would slip away from his apprentices, he kept warning them not to slacken for a mont, but unexpectedly, Ye Xiaofan found a loophole right beside him and escaped.

Now, Ye Xiaofan has vanished without a trace, Li San, Tang Tianyou, and the others in pursuit have completely lost track after twenty minutes.

What's this? Over sixty experts, plus Muto and his three apprentices, the opposition just cos and goes as they please, killing and departing as they wish.

In the heart of Japan, a single Ye Xiaofan is this brazen, how can Muto swallow his anger?

"Hello, this is Muto, imdiately mobilize two battalions to Kyoto, deploy the pursuit under my direct command through Ikeshita. Don't talk nonsense, I'll inform those above, just get the people mobilized, act right after receiving instructions."

Muto was also enraged, he knew deploying troops in a Japanese city would cause panic, and if Ye Xiaofan and the others were pushed too hard, they might do anything.

But now they've crossed the line, cunningly escaping ti and again, how can Muto not be resentful?

"Hello, Ikeshita, imdiately order everyone in the base to move out and block all traffic routes, also have the Special High Class cooperate, police on standby. Moreover, a command will arrive this afternoon, I'm handing you the two battalions to find their hideout."

"Yes... Futoshi Muto, has Ye Xiaofan appeared again?"

"Yes, just now. A bunch of idiots..." Thinking of earlier, Muto felt indignant. He almost died at Ye Xiaofan's hands.

"I see, and now you are..."

"I'm escorting the researchers to the base, once I'm back, I'll personally direct. Hopefully before I return, you'll give good news."

"Yes, I'll do my utmost not to disappoint you, Muto."

"Okay... Lingze, any news?" Though Muto anticipated Lingze's grim fate, he hadn't completely lost hope, there was a glimr remaining inside.

"Not yet. Special High Class is starting to investigate."

"Alright, once there's news, call imdiately."

"Yes."

After hanging up, Muto was fuming with nowhere to vent his frustration. But he's no longer at an impetuous age, he had to maintain extre composure outwardly.

"Are they all back?" Muto randomly grabbed a subordinate to ask.

"Report, sir, those in pursuit are withdrawing, may take a while longer."

"Alright, and casualties?" Muto continued questioning.

"Twenty-seven dead... including five researchers."

"Injured then?"

"None injured."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Muto looked again at this subordinate.

Not a single person injured? This data is even more ironic than twenty-seven deaths. Another surge of anger rose within Muto.

Clearly, the other side ca solely to kill. Their moves were lethal, mostly one-hit kills, wasting no effort.

The remaining personnel can't continue escorting; only with substantial police involvent can they proceed.

Muto was anxious but wouldn't act rashly. If the Black Mantis was to strike during transit, it would be another heavy blow.

Muto was unaware his hesitation was within Xiaofan's expectations, giving Xiaofan enough ti to perfect his second plan.

anwhile, Li San, Tang Tianyou, Lin Hongbin, and Penghai made contact after over an hour apart; though not gathered, not a person missing. They hadn't succeeded in killing Muto but incurred no losses.

Xiaofan's plan had them regroup once they confird no pursuit, to discuss covert withdrawal.

It was apparent Xiaofan anticipated this strike would enraged Muto, a widespread hunt soon to follow. After reuniting, Li San and others had to scatter again.

During regrouping, Li San contacted Leng Yue, surprisingly, Leng Yue wasn't planning to join up with Li San and the others.

At noon, Li San finally got Xiaofan's safe call. Once connected, everyone felt relieved.

"How's everyone?"

"All here, though Leng Yue said to handle so personal matters, will contact us later."

"Yes, disperse soon, do try to withdraw back ho, let so leave first." Xiaofan continued.

"And you?"

"I'm still within their encirclent. But, unless I encounter Muto, I won't be in peril." Xiaofan said calmly.

"When will you join us? Muto isn't dead, and HLY007 hasn't been found, should we withdraw now?" Li San kept asking.

"No chance anymore; today was our last opportunity. Since the outco is fixed, forcing further will only add casualties."

Although Xiaofan was right, Li San felt strange hearing it.

Given Xiaofan's character, he wouldn't usually give up so easily. Yet now, any chance for a turnaround seed impossible.

"Are you hiding sothing from ?" Li San asked calmly.

"Hide? No reason to hide. It went against plan; I'm not a god, what's impossible is impossible. Bla only my inadequacy; once there's a chance, you retreat first. I've sent mass ssages, in my absence, you lead them, I'm closely watched, might take a day to find a way out."

"Understood."

"Li San..."

"Yeah?"

"You're responsible for their lives now, can't joke around."

"I get it, not a child..."

"No more talking, soone's here. Keep in touch." With that, Xiaofan hung up.

Looking at the phone, Li San felt uneasy, but couldn't pinpoint why.

"Hey, Li San, ti to eat, Li Sai just discovered a surge of police within five kiloters, let's eat and hurry away." At this mont, Tang Tianyou hurriedly said.

"What? So fast?"

Muto acted quickly, delivering on big moves once promised, while Xiaofan's foresight ensured brothers' safety.

But, what about later?
