Xiao Zheng walked out of the airport, walked slowly to a remote corner, and asked in a serious tone, "Itō hid a royal woman in that villa?"
"Yes." Tina said concisely.
"What identity?" Xiao Zheng asked with a frown.
"The Emperor's sister." Tina explained.
Xiao Zheng was dumbfounded and said, "That old fellow Ito sure has guts!"
As far as Xiao Zheng knew, the marriage of the Japanese royal family was usually only between the nobles and the royal family. They would never marry outside. This was also an extreme way to ensure that the noble bloodline was not tainted. But among the royal families around the world, this was the norm and could not be disobeyed. Not to mention the Emperor's sister? This was definitely a scandal in the royal family!
Tina did not participate in the evaluation of Itō, but said straightforwardly, "Itō would find time to meet with the Emperor's sister every year. This villa of his is also prepared for him. "
"The royal family doesn't know?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"According to the current situation, they should know." Tina gave an answer that surprised Xiao Zheng again.
"You mean, the royal family acquiesced to the relationship between the two?" Xiao Zheng asked with a frown.
"At least they didn't interfere." Tina explained. "Itō was very open throughout the whole process. Although he was low-key, he didn't seem to be afraid of being found out. "
Xiao Zheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly frowned, "We can't do it here."
Tina did not object.
The number of times she carried out solo missions was much more than Xiao Zheng. She knew very well that assassinating Itō was enough to cause a huge storm in Tokyo. But if she assassinated the Emperor's sister at the same time, it would not just be a storm, but a storm. Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Even if the current Japanese royal family was only a symbol of the country, the real power was in the hands of the Cabinet Office. But compared to the British royal family, the Emperor of Japan still had the power to appoint and dismiss ministers and summon the parliament. So compared to the British royal family, the Emperor of Japan still had the power to appoint and dismiss ministers and summon the parliament.
So, the situation of the Emperor of Japan was far from comparable to the Queen of England. To prevent future troubles.
After ending the call, Tina continued to monitor Itō's every move. Xiao Zheng casually found a hotel to stay in. After a short break, he went to pick up Tina.
Although Tina's expression was cold and sharp when he arrived at the place Tina had designated, there was still a tired look on her pretty face. It was obvious that Tina's mental state had deteriorated from the seamless monitoring during this period of time.
"How's Itō's condition?" In the dark, Xiao Zheng's eagle-like eyes observed the brightly lit villa.
"Great," Tina reported honestly. "His anti-tracking ability is very strong. His sensitivity was also extremely high. I didn't dare to follow too closely. "
"Where's Yuki?" Xiao Zheng continued asking. "Did you follow him?"
"Twenty-four hours," Tina said. "He even followed Itō into the villa."
"It seems that Itō doesn't hide anything from her." Xiao Zheng pursed his lips.
The dark corner fell into silence. Other than the man and woman's breathing, there was no other sound.
After a while, Xiao Zheng suddenly turned his head and said, "Go back and rest for a while." After saying that, he gave Tina a room card. "I've prepared hot water for you. Take a bath and have a good sleep."
"No need," Tina shook her head and said.
"How can I fight Yuki without a good mental state?" Xiao Zheng said straightforwardly. "I've fought with her before. She looks ordinary, but her aura is powerful. If you're not focused enough, you might not be able to see through her ninjutsu. "
After hearing Xiao Zheng's words, Tina didn't reject him anymore. She took Xiao Zheng's room card and said, "I'll come and replace you before dawn."
"Sleep for a few more hours," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "Once Itō leaves this place, it'll be a tough battle."
Tina's gaze turned cold. She nodded and said, "Understood."
After sending Tina away, Xiao Zheng crouched down and hid in the bushes. He was like a beast that chose its prey, ready to bare its fangs at any time.
There was no wind tonight. Even the sky was filled with stars, and the moonlight was weak. It was covered by thick dark clouds. The surrounding atmosphere was gloomy and terrifying. It was as if they had fallen into an endless Asura hell. It was extremely depressing.
Xiao Zheng was like an ancient bronze statue, hiding in the dark without moving. First, he was monitoring. Second, he was preparing.
Accidents could happen. As the world's top assassin, Xiao Zheng wouldn't allow any opportunity to slip through his fingers.
For example, if Itō suddenly walked out of the villa. He would rush up and reap Itō's life at the first moment.
In the countless missions in the past, Xiao Zheng's attitude of being prepared every second allowed him to easily finish off a few targets that were extremely difficult to assassinate.
This was probably what it meant by 'hard work pays off', right?
However, it was obvious that his method didn't have any effect on Itō. On the contrary, it consumed his spiritual power too quickly.
In the latter half of the night, when the lights in the villa gradually dimmed, Xiao Zheng also slowly relaxed his spirit. After a short rest. He was ready to face any changes after dawn.
But just as he slightly relaxed his body and planned to sit against a big tree for a while, an extremely cold breath suddenly came from behind him.
It was faintly discernible, like a poisonous snake slithering closer.
In an instant, Xiao Zheng's spirit suddenly rose. One hand was already holding the pen, ready to draw the knife at any time.
But just as he turned around to peep at the darkness ahead, an extremely faint voice came from not far away.
"Mr. Xiao, I mean no harm."
No harm?
This wasn't Xiao Zheng's first day in Jianghu. To be able to appear here and sneak behind him, even if the other party said he was Goddess Guanyin, Xiao Zheng couldn't let his guard down. Moreover, how did the other party find him? And when did they know of his existence?
All of this was worthy of Xiao Zheng's suspicion. Finally, what Xiao Zheng most wanted to know was the other party's identity.
"Who are you?" Xiao Zheng's voice was extremely low.
Once his identity was exposed, it would attract Itō's attention, and the next assassination would be more than twice as difficult.
Assassinating a vigilant peerless expert, Xiao Zheng felt a splitting headache just thinking about it.
"A nameless person." The other party's Hua Xia language wasn't fluent, only maintained at a standard that Xiao Zheng could barely understand. But just from the other party's accent, Xiao Zheng could tell that this person was Japanese.
Xiao Zheng's vigilance didn't decrease, and he asked coldly, "How do you know I'm here, and my identity? What are you doing here? "
"To help you." The other party hid in the darkness and didn't show up.
"Help me?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, unable to deny or deny it. "Why do you want to help me?"
Frankly speaking, talking about such a sensitive topic with a person he didn't know at this moment. Xiao Zheng was under a lot of pressure. Because up until now, he didn't even know whether the other party had evil intentions or good intentions. The only thing he was sure of was that this person's strength wasn't ordinary. Even if he were to face Tina, he might not be at a disadvantage.
If Yuki and Itō were to be added to the mix, even if Xiao Zheng gave up on the mission, he might not be able to escape unscathed!
Tonight was really a fruitless night!
