Crossgate Seal Chapter 334

The next day, after declining Matsuno Yoko’s offer to be their guide, the two took the Shinkansen to Kyoto, located in central Japan.
Compared to Tokyo’s modernity, Kyoto had more parks, ancient buildings, and more beautiful scenery and surroundings.
Moreover, it was cherry blossom season, and as Japan’s national flower, cherry trees were planted everywhere, especially in a place like Kyoto.
On the first day, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan visited several parks and temples in Kyoto. The next day, they headed to Osaka to explore its parks and city centre.
…
At nightfall, the two strolled along a somewhat secluded coastline, walking hand in hand.
“Back home tomorrow.”
“Two o’clock flight in the afternoon, dinner in Haicheng.”
“I want to eat your cooking!”
“But there’s no food at home…”
“Stop by the supermarket on the way?”
“Hmm…”
“Come on, please~”
“Hiss…” Lu Zheng sucked in a breath, “Alright, alright!”
“Hehe!”
As they walked, five or six tall figures approached.
Lu Zheng glanced over and saw they were foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes, seemingly a bit drunk, coming their way together.
The two, arm in arm, moved to the side, leaving the middle of the path clear for them.
However…
Despite Lu Zheng and Lin Wan staying close to the edge, the group veered towards them, blocking their path.
“Wow, what a pretty girl!”
“Tch, tch, let me see. Damn, Eric, your eyes are sharp, spotting this beauty from afar!”
“Hahaha, of course! I’ve already hooked up with a dozen girls in Japan!”
“Tch, tch, those long legs, we’re in for a treat tonight!”
“Kid, get lost!”
“This woman’s ours tonight. Come back tomorrow morning, if we haven’t played her to death, we’ll give her back!”
“Hahaha!”
“Good thing Danny didn’t come, or your arse wouldn’t be safe either!”
The group laughed loudly. One of them stepped forward to shove Lu Zheng aside, while two others reached for Lin Wan.
“Bam!”
Lu Zheng kicked the approaching blonde brute to the ground.
“Idiots!” Lu Zheng’s eyes narrowed, a glint of killing intent flashing.
Fresh from graduation and well-trained, his English was decent enough to understand normal conversation.
“Stop!” Lin Wan stepped back, dodging the other two, and shouted, “I’m with Interpol!”
“Interpol?” The group paused, exchanging glances.
“What Interpol?” The brute Lu Zheng had kicked down scrambled up, pulling a handgun from behind, flicking off the safety, and aiming at Lu Zheng. “Assaulting active-duty soldiers from the Beacon Country, even Interpol will have to kneel and grovel!”
“I’m an officer with Interpol’s Haicheng Liaison Office, China Division!” Lin Wan flashed her badge.
“F**k, a Chinese woman?”
“Any different from a Japanese one?”
“Hahaha, no difference, right?”
“Exactly! A woman’s a woman!”
The brutes all drew guns, aiming at the two. “We now suspect you’re Chinese spies, snooping around the Osaka Naval Base. Come with us!”
“The Osaka Naval Base is five kilometres from here!” Lin Wan snapped.
“Four kilometres!”
“I’m with Interpol China. Aren’t you afraid of causing a diplomatic incident?”
“Diplomatic incident? Heh! We have over eighty military bases in Japan! Besides, Chinese Interpol are still Chinese. Make us happy, and it’s just a misunderstanding. Otherwise, heh, you’re a Chinese spy!”
“You!” Lin Wan’s eyes blazed with anger, her chest heaving, which only made the Beacon Country soldiers grin wider.
With guns trained on them, the soldiers felt in complete control. The one called Eric stepped forward, swinging his gun’s handle towards Lu Zheng’s forehead.
“F**k! I’ll teach you to be cocky!”
“Bam!”
Lu Zheng, expressionless, delivered another kick, sending Eric sprawling backwards in a dramatic fall.
“What? How dare you?”
“You want to die?”
“F**k!”
Eric, furious, aimed at Lu Zheng and fired.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
After four shots, Lu Zheng still stood in place.
“What?”
Then Lu Zheng stepped forward, appearing behind Eric like a phantom.
Grabbing his head with both hands, he gave a gentle twist.
“Crack!”
Eric’s neck snapped at an exaggerated angle.
“F**k! F**k! Shoot! Shoot!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The soldiers aimed at Lu Zheng, but Lin Wan leapt forward, reaching the two closest to her.
“What?”
Her fists shot out, left and right, striking the chests of two brutes, bursting their hearts with a surge of blood.
Meanwhile, Lu Zheng darted past the remaining three, delivering a palm strike to each of their heads.
“Bam! Bam! Bam!”
The five collapsed one by one, with Eric, his neck already broken, finally slumping to the ground.
Six Beacon Country soldiers, dead in an instant.
Lin Wan exhaled, glanced around, then frowned, “Let’s get out of here!”
The area was secluded but not deserted. There were people far off on both sides of the coastal road, including soldiers from the Beacon Country naval base.
The gunfire had sent ordinary pedestrians and tourists fleeing, but some seemed to be approaching.
In less than three minutes, they’d reach the scene and find them.
But the problem was…
Even if they escaped, they’d left plenty of evidence. The Beacon Country might track them down.
They could run, but they couldn’t hide forever.
Still, there was no time to worry about that now. They needed to leave the scene, change their flight, and get back to China as soon as possible.
Lu Zheng sighed, then took a gourd from his waist.
Unstopping it, he tapped the gourd lightly with his right hand, saying, “Collect!”
The next moment, the six bodies shrank and flew into the gourd.
Lin Wan: (⊙o⊙)
Then he formed a hand seal, “Wind arise!”
A fierce wind roared, whipping up waves that washed away their footprints and any evidence.
Lin Wan: (⊙o⊙)
Moments later, a dozen Beacon Country soldiers appeared nearby. Lin Wan was about to act, but Lu Zheng held her back tightly. The soldiers, though close, seemed completely unaware of them.
Lu Zheng whispered, “Invisibility technique.”
Lin Wan: (⊙o⊙)
