The night shrouded Kyoto Airport; lights were bright. The airport's power grid was different from other places in the city, unaffected, yet the airport lost its usual hustle and bustle. A deadly calmness was in the air. Two teams, maintaining a 300-ter distance, were in a standoff; neither dared to move casually. Inside, it was quiet; occasionally, a child cried, but was quickly comforted by adults.
As long as the hostages didn't cause trouble, Shusheng and his team didn't need to use force, rely keeping close watch. Anyone who couldn't hold it anymore and needed the restroom was handled democratically, putting the hostages sowhat at ease. Their emotions gradually stabilized, patiently waiting for the governnt's rescue, cooperating with Shusheng's team's orders.
Only one door was left open entering the airport; all others were completely blocked off, with guards and gun barrels left in place in case soone tried to force their way in. Mountain Eagle's team was concealed on the roof, while Snow Leopard's people hid outside the runway to prevent infiltration. Ghost Hand guarded the intersection; everything was tense yet orderly.
Seeing that preparations were mostly complete, Luo Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, Mountain Eagle's voice ca through his earpiece: "Report, unidentified figures appeared on the east side of the airport, seemingly Ninjas, over fifty in number, purpose unknown, approximately 500 ters away, rapidly approaching. Please advise."
"300-ter safety line," Luo Zheng said coldly.
The sudden appearance of these suspected Ninjas startled Luo Zheng. He pondered that it might be Yuanfei Zuo leading a direct assault. Ninjas weren't official governnt forces and didn't care about hostage safety, which was disadvantageous. He barked coldly, "Everyone, be alert. Soone is approaching. 300-ter warning line. Fire warning shots. If they cross the line, shoot to kill without rcy."
"Yes," everyone answered, perking up.
Luo Zheng hurriedly left the surveillance room and went outside. A sniper shot echoed in his earpiece. Luo Zheng quickly rushed outside and indeed saw a group on the east side, stopping at the 300-ter mark. Luo Zheng raised his binoculars suspiciously and saw they indeed dressed as Ninjas.
After the warning shots, the group didn't hide their identity, instead standing still, unusually. Not long after, soone raised their hands high and walked forward. Luo Zheng was taken aback and quickly shouted through his earpiece, "Mountain Eagle, don't shoot. Ghost Hand, go check out the situation."
"Understood." Mountain Eagle and Ghost Hand almost simultaneously responded.
Ghost Hand hurriedly ran eastward. The police and military in standoff on the road also saw the sudden arrivals and were perplexed. The superiors hadn't ntioned sending anyone for rescue. Who were these people? Why were they advancing so boldly from the east, avoiding the main south post?
The Japan Governnt's law enforcent suspected, and Luo Zheng also doubted, seeing Ghost Hand had already rushed forward, perked up his ears waiting. Soon, Ghost Hand transmitted an unexpected ssage back to Luo Zheng. The arrivals were surprisingly Shijing Kong and his loyal followers, seeking an audience with Luo Zheng.
Should he et or not? Luo Zheng hesitated. Shijing Kong was an enemy with unclear intentions, and hastily eting might not be advantageous. But Luo Zheng faintly felt there was more than just revenge at play here. Lan Xue approached, shaking her head, indicating for Luo Zheng not to et, avoiding complications at a critical mont.
"Ask their intention," Luo Zheng thought for a mont and said through the earpiece.
"The other side requests a private eting with you and can co alone," Ghost Hand promptly said.
"Let him co over, disarm," Luo Zheng was startled, deciding to et this person. Being surrounded by his own, what harm could Shijing Kong do even if skilled?
Seeing Luo Zheng insisted on eting Shijing Kong, Lan Xue didn't oppose further and stood nearby to intervene when needed, arranging for Shusheng to have several warriors nearby for protection. Luo Zheng quietly waited at the gate. Soon, Ghost Hand brought over Shijing Kong, holding his wakizashi.
Shijing Kong was dressed in Ninja clothes, expression hidden, only a pair of eyes exposed, radiating a cold murderous aura. Luo Zheng had seen Shijing Kong before and knew it was really him just from the physique, harboring no doubts, curiously waiting for Shijing Kong to state his intention.
The two were mortal enemies, eager to kill the other, incredibly eting this way, feeling it was fate's play. Luo Zheng was flooded with a sense of absurdity. Shijing Kong stopped five ters from Luo Zheng, scrutinizing him, eyes filled with fury and murderous intent, his whole body trembling with rage, seemingly ready to tear Luo Zheng apart. The onlookers tensed, ready to act against Shijing Kong.
Seeing Shijing Kong's unhidden murderous intent and anger, Luo Zheng laughed instead. Causing the enemy to such a state was a sense of pride. Simultaneously, Luo Zheng knew Shijing Kong's intentions weren't simple and wouldn't strike unless with hidden motives, striving to approach and then suddenly act.
"You indeed are formidable," Shijing Kong said coldly.
"That's the best complint." Luo Zheng said coldly.
"Creating such a commotion, the Shijing family losing to you isn't unjust." Shijing Kong's expression darkened, continued.
"You seek a favor from ?" Luo Zheng suspiciously asked.
"Yes." Shijing Kong didn't hide his objective, glanced around, then back at Luo Zheng.
"They are my brothers; nothing is unspeakable," Luo Zheng said coldly, his words inspiring the surrounding warriors, puffing out their chests high, fearing they might sha Luo Zheng.
"Impersonating to force Yuanfei Zuo, a brilliant move. If I'm not mistaken, the Pri Minister will pressure him, and in self-defense, he'll surely try to co here to rescue the hostages. Let's make a deal," Shijing Kong said coldly.
"That depends on the benefit to ," Luo Zheng sneered.
"When Yuanfei Zuo's n co, I'll help you repel them and show up publicly, turning your lie into truth. You, in return, save my grandson, take him out of this country, and deliver him to the person I designate, how about it?" Shijing Kong's eyes sharpened, speaking earnestly.
"Sounds quite good. Two questions: How do I ensure you won't threaten our safety? Secondly, your grandson growing up will surely seek revenge, and why do you want this? We are enemies, why should I trust you?" Luo Zheng seriously countered.
"Hearing you say that reassures , proving you are a man of your word. My people are on the periter, not within 200 ters of the airport; you can shoot if they exceed that. As for my grandson, I wish him away from strife, to pass the bloodline down peacefully. You can monitor him; if anything's amiss, you can kill him. The people raising him have already been instructed. This country deceived and betrayed ; I seek revenge, nothing more. As for the enmity between us, it's public, not personal. We serve our own masters. I need you to protect my only bloodline, hence ensuring your safety," Shijing Kong explained earnestly.
