The outskirts of Kyoto.
Swallows were fluttering in the air amidst the rolling mountains, accompanied by the continuous roars of beasts. This was the Gene Camp's encampment and also General Fukuda's lair. Around the mountains were four ordinary military camps with a total of hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there. Inside the mountains was an empty underground space, a world for Japanese cultivators and genetic warriors.
Inside the secret chamber.
Ki Kitagawa was holding a beautiful sable in his arms. He personally stuffed jade beads into its mouth and listened to its chewing sounds. A faint aura emanated from Kitagawa's body, causing the expressions of the other two men in the chamber to slightly change.
"General Fukuda really doesn't have time to see me?"
Kitagawa's voice was calm, but there was a chill hidden beneath it.
The two men exchanged glances. Then, the man on the left respectfully said, "Sir Kitagawa, General Fukuda and Yin Buddha of the Joyous Palace have been fighting for a long time. Although Yin Buddha was severely injured in the end, General Fukuda also suffered some internal injuries. He's now recuperating, so he ordered that no one will see him."
"General Fukuda is very powerful. How can that Yin Buddha be compared to him?" Ki Kitagawa sneered. "That injury … is probably just an excuse to not see me!"
The man hurriedly said, "Sir Kitagawa, General Fukuda absolutely didn't mean that. He mentioned you many times in front of us, saying that you sacrificed too much for the country. General Fukuda also said that you would've been the Gene Camp's Deputy Commander if you weren't carrying out missions outside. "
Ki Kitagawa was calm and collected on the surface, but he was sneering inwardly. Although he had been carrying out missions outside all these years, he knew the situation in the Gene Camp like the back of his hand. He even secretly bought some of the camp's top brass.
He knew it.
General Fukuda needed him to monitor the Joyous Palace and do something for him. Otherwise, it was very likely that General Fukuda, who was admired by countless people, would've long used him to remove this thorn in his side.
"Time. I need more time.
Just give me three more years. I'll definitely surpass General Fukuda three years later.
At that time, I can force him to hand over the Gene Camp to me even if I have to oppress him with my strength. "
Ki Kitagawa raised his eyelids and looked at the man in front of him. He suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that you've forgotten who your Master is while I'm away from the Gene Camp. Am I right, Xu Xiang? "
In an instant.
The eyes of the man on the right turned cold, and a sharp dagger instantly slashed across the neck of the man next to him. As blood splattered, the man on the right used the dagger to stab the heart of the man next to him. In just a few seconds, the man on the left died.
"Lord Kitagawa, Xu Xiang thinks that you have a point. All these years, not only did he obey General Fukuda's orders on the surface, but he also did a lot of things for General Fukuda behind his back. There are some things that are a little dangerous to you. However, this subordinate secretly erased some traces so that what he did couldn't affect you. "Xu Xiang cupped his fists and said.
Ki Kitagawa loosened the violet marten in his arms and let it eat the corpse. He slowly walked to the chair and took a seat. Then, he leisurely said, "That old dog Fukuda has always been suspicious. Coupled with this guy's allegiance to Fukuda, I'm afraid he's told Fukuda about some of the things I've done. However, Fukuda won't dare to do anything to me for now. He must be polite to me as long as the Joyous Palace exists. "
"But the Joyous Palace will be annihilated by us sooner or later, Sir Kitagawa," said Xu Xiang. "I'm afraid he'll act against you at that time. We need to be prepared ahead of time. "
Ki Kitagawa nodded and said, "I understand what you just said, but it's not the time yet. Besides, the Joyous Palace has a deep heritage that even I don't know about. Hence, General Fukuda's plan to annihilate the entire Joyous Palace is simply a pipe dream. He won't be able to do it in the next eight to ten years. "
"Ring …"
A faint ringtone of a mobile phone rang twice, but Ki Kitagawa's keen hearing was still able to hear it clearly.
After a while …
A cold light flashed in Ki Kitagawa's eyes as he read the text message on his phone. His figure instantly disappeared. A few minutes later, an off-road vehicle roared out of the camp and disappeared on the winding mountain road. The mountain road wasn't wide and could only accommodate two cars at a time.
Whoosh!
Just as the off-road vehicle disappeared at the end of the mountain road in the distance, a ghostly figure appeared outside the camp gate. It was General Fukuda with a tuft of white hair on his forehead. He stood straight and his eyes exuded a soul-captivating cold light.
"General."
A red-haired man in a black coat appeared next to General Fukuda. He wore a bronze mask. Even though the bronze mask was rusty, it added a sense of mystery to the red-haired man.
"Tell me, why did he leave this time?" asked General Fukuda lightly.
"If my guess is correct, it should be related to the Joyous Palace," said the red-haired man. "I heard from my spy that he really wants the Joyous Palace Saintess, Gong Wan 'er. He even ordered his men to go all out to find her before returning to the Gene Camp."
General Fukuda frowned and said, "What's so special about this Joyous Palace Saintess? Why is he so fascinated by her? Also, that old bald donkey created the Joyous Palace and indulged himself in beauties every day. Why hasn't he touched the Joyous Palace Saintess? "
"According to Ki Kitagawa, the Joyous Palace Master has always regarded the Saintess as his own daughter," said the red-haired man slowly. "However, I don't think it's credible. Two of the Joyous Palace Master's daughters are very delicate and charming. They're natural beauties. That's why the Joyous Palace Master and his two daughters are having an affair. "
Contempt flashed in General Fukuda's eyes as he coldly snorted and said, "Hmph, he even dares to lay his hands on his own daughters. The whole country has been in a foul atmosphere due to him in recent decades, especially when it comes to the affairs between men and women. It's even more chaotic now. It's time to change the atmosphere in Japan after getting rid of that old bald donkey. "
The red-haired man forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy, General. This is the current situation of the country. "
"You can change it if you want to." General Fukuda sneered. "People's hearts need to change along with the environment. If preaching doesn't work, then we'll use bloody means to suppress them. I believe the Imperial Family will agree with my approach."
The red-haired man didn't reply, but he felt that General Fukuda was indulging in fantasy.
National conditions!
Habits!
These things had grown up with countless people and had long been integrated into their bones. Using bloody suppression to change it would only be treating the symptoms and not the root cause.
General Fukuda took a deep breath and said, "Send the first squad to follow him! If you find Ki Kitagawa betraying the Gene Camp, come back and report to me immediately. "
"Understood!"
The red-haired man replied. His figure instantly turned into a sharp arrow and bolted toward the distance. * * *
In the dimly lit nightclub, Mine Takeno calmly observed Tan Xiu. As the saying goes, know your enemy and know yourself, and you will be victorious in every battle. Yet, he knew nothing about this young man in front of him. Therefore, he didn't dare to act rashly even though he believed in his own strength.
He was waiting.
He would wait for the Big Boss to come and then make plans. He knew that what he had to do now was to keep this young man in front of him and make him stay until the Big Boss came. At that time, no matter how arrogant and domineering this brat was, it was likely that he could only bow down and beg for mercy before the Big Boss.
"Joyous Palace? What kind of place is that? "
Tan Xiu deliberately pretended that he didn't know anything and looked at Mine Takeno curiously.
Mine Takeno furrowed his brows and asked, "Aren't you from the Joyous Palace?"
Tan Xiu rolled his eyes and coldly snorted. "This daddy just came to Japan a few days ago. How the hell do I know anything about the Joyous Palace? I came to Japan this time for a vacation and also found some friends to reminisce about the old days. I never thought that I would run into such a bad luck here. "
Mine Takeno finally understood why this guy didn't speak Japanese but English. It turned out that he just came to Japan and didn't know Japanese at all!
"Who's your friend, Mister?"
Mine Takeno recalled the report he received before. It seemed that this guy also called someone. Maybe the person he called was his friend.
"Let's not talk about it." Tan Xiu waved his hand listlessly. "I don't know what happened to that friend of mine. He was having fun with me a few days ago, but I didn't expect that he would suddenly disappear. I called him, but he didn't pick up. I went to find him, but there was no one at home. His shadow was nowhere to be found in the places he usually likes to hang out. But in another place, there are two ordinary people who are doing quite well and some of their men are working for him. I'll tell you, those people are not good people. Killing people is a common thing for them and they've done all kinds of bad things. If you make me unhappy, I don't need to do it myself. I just need to tell them and you'll lose your life. "
Mine Takeno secretly sneered inwardly. In order to calm Tan Xiu down, he desperately suppressed the killing intent inside him and said in a deep voice, "Mister, let's just forget about this matter since it's just a misunderstanding today! According to the rules of our island country, after a misunderstanding, we can stop and make peace. We need to hold a banquet, drink some sake, and then write off everything that happened before. "
"We've killed so many of your men, yet you want to make peace with me?" Tan Xiu glared at him. "Are you a man or not? Do you have any balls or not? "
The corner of Mine Takeno's mouth twitched a few times. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, killing intent still surged inside him. If it wasn't for his fear of Tan Xiu's identity and the fact that he couldn't figure out Tan Xiu's background, he would have already attacked him.
"It's better to squash enmity than keep it alive."
Mine Takeno suppressed it for a while before he squeezed out those words with a flushed face.
