758: Chapter 758: Danger Strikes Again 758: Chapter 758: Danger Strikes Again Hojo Hideki, unusually for him, wasn’t angry but nodded instead,”Okay, okay, all of you go report to Nogawa.
I don’t need trash here; I’d rather hand you over to Nogawa to boost his strength.”
The faces of those people showed extre terror,”No, Lord Hojo, please give us one more chance!”
“The chance has slipped through your fingers!” Hojo Hideki snorted coldly.
“No…”
Instantly, these people broke out in cold sweat and trembled ceaselessly.
At that mont, Izumi Taigan ca in from outside and said anxiously, “Lord Hojo, Lord Nogawa says he knows Ye Chenfeng’s whereabouts and wants you to prepare for a city-wide search.
He asked to bring people over now!”
“Did you hear that?
Move out!
Izumi Taigan, I’m assigning all two hundred of my guards to you.
I hope Nogawa and you won’t disappoint .”
“Understood!”
…
After another round of searching, the transport ships and other vessels had no choice but to stop at the shore.
They were very helpless—had Ye Chenfeng just vanished?
With people guarding the shore, it was impossible for Ye Chenfeng to approach the coast.
The only explanation was that Ye Chenfeng had drifted off into the distance but not towards Tokyo.
“This is really unlucky; I hit him with a rocket, and he still managed to escape!” The most frustrated was the one who had hit Ye Chenfeng’s speedboat with a rocket.
If he had succeeded in killing Ye Chenfeng, his future potential would have been limitless.
But now that Ye Chenfeng had escaped, he had no accomplishnts to his na, and he might even face criticism.
The people on the ship disembarked one after another, their mood downcast, the atmosphere quite gloomy.
“Still daring to sleep in!
Get off the ship quick!”
Ye Chenfeng, who was sound asleep, sensed danger and woke up imdiately, realizing soone was calling to disembark.
“Damn, you even dare to steal food.
No wonder you can’t do anything right, it’s lazy trash like you that accumulates here.” Seeing a table full of trash, this leader-looking samurai couldn’t help but curse, almost kicking Ye Chenfeng in the behind.
“What are you looking at?
Hurry and get off the ship!”
The samurai looked at Ye Chenfeng with a frustrated expression, his eyes burning with anger.
“Yes sir!”
Ye Chenfeng nodded, casually grabbed a bag reserved for the samurai, and then left the room, a slight smile appearing on his face.
After eating well and sleeping three hours, Ye Chenfeng’s energy was almost fully restored.
Now, he just had to wait to disembark and then escape.
The first thing to do after getting off the ship was to count the number of people.
This transport ship naturally had the correct number of people, and they certainly couldn’t find Ye Chenfeng.
However, at that mont, a group of people arrived at the dock, no less than one or two hundred, completely blocking the exit.
“Izumi-kun, why are you here?” The leader of that group, clearly recognizing Izumi Taigan, couldn’t help but ask.
Izumi Taigan scanned vigilantly and couldn’t help but say, “It was Lord Nogawa who sent ; he said that Ye Chenfeng is among you.”
“Clunk!”
Ye Chenfeng, who naturally understood Japanese, heard the conversation between Izumi Taigan and the leader, and his heart suddenly sank.
Could it be that Nogawa had discovered him?
For a mont, Ye Chenfeng panicked, but there was also a hint of anticipation.
Nogawa was indeed a worthy opponent!
“What?
Among us?
Is Lord Nogawa also here?” The subordinate leader was clearly startled and scanned the crowd.
Most were dressed as samurai, and it was impossible to tell who was real or fake.
But his heart also tensed up; if soone had infiltrated them, it truly would be hard to detect.
“Nogawa must be right next to us,” Izumi Taigan asserted.
“He said the most dangerous place is the safest place.
He must be certain that Ye Chenfeng is among these people.”
“Yeah, he’s been gone since the beginning.
It’s not possible for him to float in the sea or to co ashore.
The only possibility is that he mixed in with us, easily ca ashore, and none of us knew it,” the leader realized suddenly.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed by and dropped a corpse—it was the unfortunate soul Ye Chenfeng had dealt with.
It was Nogawa who discovered the body; he flashed by and then disappeared without a trace, watching silently from the shadows, determining which one was Ye Chenfeng.
“What?
There really is soone mixed among us?”
For a mont, the two to three hundred people panicked, a ss of confusion.
Izumi Taigan shouted, “Stop the noise, shut your mouths, and stand there!”
As soon as Izumi Taigan spoke, everyone indeed quieted down.
“Now stand like this; we’re going to check each of you!
Whoever moves, I’ll kill!”
Izumi Taigan held a katana, followed by four skilled fighters slowly walking down.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
The two hundred guards behind him drew their katanas, staring intently at the crowd.
If Ye Chenfeng wanted to escape, the first thing he had to do was breach this wall ford by two hundred people.
Izumi Taigan started removing everyone’s face masks, scrutinizing each person.
Soon, the people on the other three boats had been checked, and they did the sa: they drew their swords and then pointed them at the crowd on the largest transport ship, making escape even more difficult.
Only the last boat remained, and Izumi Taigan himself also beca nervous, his right hand holding the katana sweated profusely.
He knew that the mont he found Ye Chenfeng, he would attack, and his own life would definitely be in danger.
“You guys go!”
For safety’s sake, Izumi Taigan had the four n with him go forward while he held the rear.
This search was much slower.
While it had taken ten minutes to check the people on three boats before, now ten minutes had passed and they still hadn’t finished, leaving a row of people left.
The four n in front beca nervous too, moving even slower.
As they tore off the masks, their hands were visibly shaking.
Fatefully, the last row, the five on the right had no issues, leaving only the five on the left.
The n grew more nervous, with their calves visibly trembling.
From a distance, Nogawa’s sharp gaze swept over the five n, piercing as if to see right through them.
One…
Two…
…
In the end, only one person was left—the others ford a tight circle around him.
To everyone, the last person was undoubtedly Ye Chenfeng.
“Take off your mask yourself!” Izumi Taigan commanded coldly.
They dared not approach to tear off the mask; having him do it himself was the best way.
At that mont, the last person was also extrely nervous, slowly reaching his hands towards the mask on his face.
The atmosphere was unbearably tense and silent, reaching an extre, so quiet that one could only hear the sound of constant swallowing.
