1717. Launch
That night, in an unknown secret basement in Ashida City. More than a dozen people sat cross-legged around a brazier. The basement was not lit, only the flickering flames in the brazier illuminated the entire basement in a blood-red color.
Ashida Shingen sat at the head of the table and said in a deep voice, "Now, the Ashida family has reached the crossroads of life and death! As you all know, a few days ago, the leader of the Guardian Group, Tang Yu, came to visit alone and brought a series of friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation projects to our family … "
"But my father, the current head of the family, Ashida Ichiro, was immersed in the illusion of immortality. He actually attacked Tang Yu twice, angering Tang Yu and causing him to act irrationally. And now, he imprisoned Tang Yu in the dungeon of Ashida City for two whole days! "
Shingen Shingen glanced around. The people around him were all elders of the consortium and people with real power who were dissatisfied with Ichiro. He continued, "And now, it's hard for us to back down! We don't dare to kill Tang Yu, and if we let him go, he will immediately start to retaliate against the Ashida consortium! Our family is not afraid of any enemy! But we are pained by this senseless hostility! "
"The Guardian Group has the world's only combat robot technology! If we fight against them, how many loyal and brave men of the family will be bathed in blood and sacrifice! Moreover, Japan is a country that is extremely short of energy, but my father chose to provoke the world's largest energy supplier — the Guardian Group!! "
Shingen Shingen suddenly stood up and pulled out his long sword, "Everyone! The Ashida family has relied on our spirit of never giving up! We relied on our ability to judge the situation and always stand at the forefront of the times!! But we will never drag the family into the abyss of war for the illusion of immortality!! "
"Yes! Absolutely not! "
"Agreed!! The current head of the family is leading our family to destruction!! "
"I've said it before, sooner or later, Ichiro will go astray!"
A glint flashed in Xin Xuan's eyes, and he continued to say loudly, "What's placed in front of us right now, there's still a path! Tang Yu of the Guardian Group is willing to exchange 60% of the shares of the US Lockheed Corporation and all of the shares of the Japanese Blackwind Corporation for Yashida's retirement! "
Greed appeared in the eyes of the people around them. "Lockheed? The military enterprise under the Rockefeller family? "
"I heard that the Rockefeller family is going to be in big trouble. It seems like it is."
Xin Xuan smiled proudly. He looked around at the crowd. "Everyone! Facts had already proven that it was absolutely not advisable to place the rise and fall of a clan in the hands of a single person! Her father was obsessed with immortality and no longer had the ambition to lead the Zhitian Financial Group forward! We should establish a group of elders and a board of directors. Everything will be discussed by everyone! There's a Chinese saying that goes, 'Three heads are better than one'. I believe that the Tian Family will truly become powerful in our hands!! "
One of the white-haired old men stroked his beard and said worriedly, "But with just our strength, it's not enough to shake the power of the family head in Zhitian City!"
Xin Xuan came to the window and said slowly, "Mr. Tang Yu, I have my own arrangements! I've also secretly informed the people of the Extreme Path to come and help! As long as we wait for the Heavensguard Pavilion to be on fire, that's when we make our move! We'll work together from the inside and the outside to take the Zhitian Financial Group into our pocket!! "
As he said that, he stretched out his fist and clenched it tightly.
…
In the dark and damp dungeon, 'Tang Yu', who had been tied up with ropes and hadn't eaten for two days, suddenly sat up straight. His body quickly turned into countless fine sand and dissipated in the air. Then, it gradually formed again in front of him, and the empty ropes fell to the ground.
Then, he stretched out his hand, and countless fine sand flew towards the welded iron door. The thick iron door was corroded like a cake, and in a few seconds, a big hole appeared. Countless nanomachines flew out of the hole like fine sand and divided into 20 groups. They silently floated next to the 20 ninjas who were either in the open or in the dark at the dungeon entrance.
Immediately after, these 20 groups of nanomachines instantly condensed into an ultra-thin sharp blade. Almost at the same time, it cut through the guards' throats and drilled into their wounds, instantly destroying their brains!!
Thump, thump, thump. With a few almost undetectable muffled sounds, the 20 guards died at the same time, and their corpses fell to the ground.
The nanomachines once again condensed into the appearance of one of the soldiers, and then walked out. Under Tang Yu's control, it silently came to the side of another hidden sentry, and in an instant, broke the person's neck! Then, it went to look for the next target.
A few minutes later, when they realized that the dungeon guards had not contacted them, a large number of guards immediately rushed into the dungeon. They discovered that the place was already empty, with only 20 corpses left behind!
An experienced ninja checked the corpses and said in a deep voice, "20 people were killed without any reaction. They were lying in ambush in every corner, and their vision intersected with each other. Unless all of them were killed at the same time, it would be impossible for them to not react! Also, the method of killing was clean and neat, and it looks like it was done by the same person. How is this possible?! "
"If there is a possibility, it would be that this person's strength is definitely beyond our imagination!" Another ninja said solemnly.
"Immediately sound the alarm! There's a master invading!! "The leader of the ninjas stood up and shouted sternly.
…
In Yashita Ichiro's personal laboratory, the doctor completed the fifth scan of Wolverine. He recorded the data and then said to Wolverine, "Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I need to draw some of your blood." Although his tone was humble, it was unquestionable.
Wolverine curled his lips and smiled contemptuously. He put his hand on the table and let the doctor draw his blood. He turned to Yashita Ichiro who was lying on another bed and said, "Since you said that immortality is a curse, why do you want this curse?"
Yashita Ichiro smiled and said frankly, "I don't want to lie to you, because you and I are different. Please don't mind me, I am talking about the way we live. You are a wandering samurai, without a master, without a family, and even without glory. But behind me, there are thousands of people relying on me. "
He paused for a moment. "My son, Shingen, is a good-for-nothing guy. If the family is handed over to him, sooner or later, it will be defeated. I have led the Yashita Corporation to this point, and I have made too many enemies. Once the family falls, whether it is Shingen, Mariko, or the thousands of people relying on my family, their fate will be miserable. It is unimaginable. "
"So, I am immortal for my family, for the thousands of people relying on me. My life does not belong to myself, but to the entire family. This is the difference between us. "
Wolverine smiled, ignoring Yashita Ichiro's twisted logic. He looked at the time on the wall clock and suddenly asked, "Where is Yuriko Koyama?"
