"You... who are you, really?" The ninja collapsed on the ground, his eyes filled not only with fear but also with intense unwillingness.
Xu Wendong did not answer his question.
His gaze grew unfathomably deep,
as vast as the starry sea,
like a black hole, instantly devouring the ninja’s consciousness.
The ninja’s eyes turned blank, frozen in place.
At the sa ti,
a scream rang in Xu Wendong’s mind, "Are you an Eastern Cultivator?"
Xu Wendong replied, "Yes, my surna is Xu. You can call Master Xu."
"No, no, no... Why are you in our country?" The ninja was completely confused, because after last night’s battle, this guy had beco a public enemy in the eyes of Wa Country’s cultivators.
Countless Wa Country cultivators rushed to Huaxia, eager to kill him to avenge the Eight-Forked Serpent.
But.
Who would have thought that not only did he not hide, but he also ca to their country???
"I’m here for sightseeing, of course!" Xu Wendong let out a mocking laugh, and then instantly, his Soul Force devoured the ninja’s consciousness.
The Soul Searching Technique was a Divine Skill of those in the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
He intended to check the mory of this ninja.
Monts later,
Xu Wendong stopped the Soul Searching.
But the ninja bled from his seven orifices, dead on the spot.
Using the Soul Searching Technique would not affect Xu Wendong at all, but the one being searched would have their soul destroyed.
At the sa ti,
Xu Wendong understood the sequence of events.
The man’s na was Kurou Miyamoto.
He was an Interdiate Ninja from the Ninja Association, very powerful.
He ca here under Watanabe Saburo’s orders, intending to capture Jingchuan Keiko alive to coerce Kanamoto Ichiro into handing over the leadership of the Sangou Group.
"I never thought I’d get involved in the internal power struggles of the Sangou Group."
Xu Wendong sighed a little.
Watanabe Saburo was the second-in-command of the Sangou Group and the right-hand man of Kanamoto Ichiro. However, he was ambitious and had a close personal relationship with a certain minister in the Cabinet of Wa Country.
It was with the support of that minister that Watanabe Saburo dared to act against Kanamoto Ichiro.
Although he did not want to get entangled in the Sangou Group’s internal strife,
Xu Wendong discovered an important piece of intelligence.
Although Kanamoto Ichiro was a Wa Country native,
and the leader of the Sangou Group,
for so unknown reason, he was particularly friendly towards the Chinese.
It was precisely because of this that Watanabe Saburo was dissatisfied with him and even wanted to overthrow his rule.
"Perhaps it has sothing to do with Keiko and her mother!" Xu Wendong sighed inwardly; there is no hatred or love without reason in this world.
Kanamoto Ichiro’s friendliness towards the Chinese must certainly be connected to Jingchuan Keiko and her mother.
This discovery disrupted Xu Wendong’s plan once again.
He originally intended to kill Kanamoto Ichiro, but now it seed that
not only could he not kill him, he even needed to help him quell the internal disputes within the Sangou Group.
Only by ensuring Kanamoto Ichiro’s stable leadership within the Sangou Group could the situation on this side be fully tad.
------
At the Sankou Group Headquarters,
Kanamoto Ichiro stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking a cigar deeply, feeling extrely agitated.
He originally planned to celebrate his daughter’s birthday tonight.
But the large-scale opening of shops in Chinatown by the Sangou Group and the assault on Chinese people made him realize the seriousness of the situation.
Although black NGOs are legal in Wa Country,
this incident could lead to diplomatic disputes between the two countries.
If it truly beca a matter of bla from above,
he, as the leader of the Sangou Group, could not shirk his responsibility and might even face removal or imprisonnt.
Because of this, he did not go to celebrate his daughter’s birthday.
At this ti, his every move would draw attention.
If others knew he had a daughter,
once he was inside, her situation would be extrely precarious.
After all,
he had offended many powerful figures.
Just then,
a man in his forties, short in stature, wearing a white suit, walked in, "Mr. Kishimoto, why are you still awake so late? I brought two bottles of good wine, want to have a drink together?" He said, raising the two bottles of fine liquor in his hand.
Watanabe Saburo.
Second-in-command of the Sangou Group.
Kanamoto Ichiro smiled slightly, "Mr. Watanabe, why haven’t you gone ho yet?" He said, making a gesture of invitation.
After Watanabe Saburo sat down, he poured sake into the cup, then held it with both hands, placing it in front of Kanamoto Ichiro, "I would like to go back to rest too, but now the mbers in the gang are disobedient, publicly smashing Chinese shops and attacking Chinese people. Even if I go back, I can’t sleep!"
"They are really excessive." Kanamoto Ichiro’s face showed no emotion, but in his heart, a wave of invisible anger rose.
Of course,
he also knew,
the root of all this was caused by the person in front of him.
He knew the other was ambitious and close to the Cabinet minister.
"Yes, they really are excessive." Watanabe Saburo sighed, "But this is human nature, isn’t it?"
At this, a aningful smile appeared on his face, "In front of the global public, a Great Xia Cultivator slaughtered our country’s legendary existence. This is an insult and a trampling on our Wa Country’s dignity."
"As Yamato people, I believe everyone wants to hack that Great Xia Cultivator to pieces, but unfortunately, he hides in Great Xia and doesn’t dare to show up."
"Since that’s the case, our country’s people must have a channel to vent their emotions."
"Although I feel that our mbers are excessive too."
"With over ten thousand mbers, the Sangou Group can’t possibly control such patriotic acts."
Kanamoto Ichiro sneered, "Patriotism? If they were truly patriotic, they should least of all smash Chinese shops or attack Huaxia people in Wa Country."
"You need to understand one thing, although we have many Chinese in our country, isn’t it true that Huaxia doesn’t have our Wa Country people?"
"Doing this only worsens the situation for our compatriots, even leading to retaliation."
Watanabe Saburo dismissed it, "Great Xia is a nation of etiquette, they certainly won’t dare to do that."
Kanamoto Ichiro laughed in anger, "You’re right, Great Xia is indeed a nation of etiquette. But have you ever thought that at such tis, it greatly shows a country’s deanor and scope?"
"This will make Wa Country appear barbaric!"
"I admit Mr. Kishimoto makes a good point." Watanabe Saburo shifted the topic, "But the matter has already happened, what aning does it have to say these now?"
Kanamoto Ichiro picked up his glass, downed the wine in one gulp, his somber face showing his incredibly agitated mood at the mont.
Watanabe Saburo’s voice rang out, "The diplomatic departnt called earlier, reporting that the Sangou Group’s actions have sparked a strong international public opinion and extrely detrintal impacts, they want us to give an explanation!" He said as he refilled Kanamoto Ichiro’s glass.
Kanamoto Ichiro raised his head, his gaze profound, "An explanation of what?"
