Hearing the servant’s sharp command, the guards prepared to act.
“Wait,” Yoshida Morichi stopped the guards, his gaze fixed on the two giants.
The giants stepped forward, quickly arriving in front of Yoshida Morichi.
The guards were extremely tense, fearing the giants might attack the master, but in the next moment, the two giants suddenly dropped to one knee.
Crack!
Instantly, a crack over two metres long appeared on the ground.
“We pay respects to Master Yoshida, sent by our lord to assist you and await your orders,” one of the giants said.
“I understand,” Yoshida Morichi instructed the servant, “Find a place for them to rest.”
With that, Yoshida Morichi returned to his room.
“Yoshida-kun, are you satisfied with the gift I sent?” the masked figure asked from the other end of the video call.
“What are they?” Yoshida Morichi asked.
The masked figure laughed, “Super soldiers.”
Super soldiers?
Yoshida Morichi frowned.
The masked figure explained, “They are warriors I meticulously trained, enhanced through genetic drugs. Their bodies are now hard as iron, impervious to swords and guns, and their strength is astonishing.”
“Yoshida-kun, once Ye Qiu is killed, I’ll give these two warriors to you.”
Yoshida Morichi asked, “You’re giving me money and two super soldiers, what’s your goal?”
The masked figure laughed, “Of course, to cooperate with you.”
“Once Ye Qiu is dead, I’ll transfer the rest of the money to you.”
“I hope we have a pleasant partnership.”
“Goodbye!”
With that, the masked figure ended the call.
Yoshida Morichi frowned again.
“Who is this masked figure?”
“How does he know my brother died at Ye Qiu’s hands?”
“Is his cooperation with me really just to kill Ye Qiu?”
Beep beep beep…
Suddenly, his phone rang, interrupting Yoshida Morichi’s thoughts.
Yoshida Morichi answered and asked, “What’s the situation?”
The person on the other end spoke rapidly in a low voice.
After listening, Yoshida Morichi said, “Good, spare no effort to kill Ye Qiu, and I’ll reward you handsomely afterwards.”
He hung up.
A sinister smile appeared on Yoshida Morichi’s lips, “Now it’s time to meet Qiushan Nange, a woman I’ve admired for so long.”
With that, Yoshida Morichi pressed something under the table, and with a “rumble,” the floor in the corner of the room parted, revealing a tunnel.
Yoshida Morichi walked to the tunnel entrance, about to step down, but hesitated.
“The people of the Mizuki Sect are usually particular about cleanliness, I’d better change my clothes, lest Qiushan Nange finds me off-putting.”
“Besides, finally getting Qiushan Nange calls for some ceremony.”
Yoshida Morichi changed into a white kimono, slipped on wooden clogs, and entered the tunnel.
The tunnel was about thirty metres long.
At the end of the tunnel stood an iron door.
The door had a combination lock.
Yoshida Morichi pressed a few buttons on the lock, and with a “ding,” the iron door opened.
Instantly, two special ninjas appeared before him.
“Master!”
The two ninjas bowed in respect.
“Any anomalies?” Yoshida Morichi asked.
“Reporting to Master, everything is normal,” one ninja replied.
“Hm,” Yoshida Morichi nodded, instructing, “You two leave for now, keep a close watch on Qianshan Xue.”
“Yes!”
The two ninjas responded and quickly left.
Yoshida Morichi stepped through the iron door, facing a long corridor. At the end of the corridor was another iron door.
Two more special ninjas stood guard outside this door.
“Master!”
The two ninjas bowed.
“Open the door,” Yoshida Morichi ordered.
“Yes,” one ninja opened the iron door.
Behind the door was a secret chamber.
“You two leave, and remember, no one is allowed in without my orders,” Yoshida Morichi said.
“Yes,” the two ninjas swiftly departed.
Yoshida Morichi stood at the entrance, peering inside. The chamber was dimly lit, with only a few oil lamps on the walls flickering faintly.
This place never saw daylight, the air was murky and damp.
Yoshida Morichi pressed a button outside, and with a “snap,” the chamber’s lights turned on.
Instantly, a beautiful woman appeared in his line of sight.
Qiushan Nange!
Qiushan Nange was bound tightly with ropes, sitting in a corner, a cloth stuffed in her mouth.
The moment she saw Yoshida Morichi, her beautiful eyes blazed with anger, muffled “mmph mmph mmph” sounds coming from her mouth, as if she wanted to fight him to the death.
“Master Qiushan, my apologies for the inconvenience.”
Yoshida Morichi entered, his words apologetic, but his face showed no trace of remorse, only a hint of smugness.
“Mmph mmph mmph…” Qiushan Nange struggled fiercely, making muffled noises.
Yoshida Morichi approached and removed the cloth from her mouth.
“Where’s Xiao Xue? What have you done to Xiao Xue?” Qiushan Nange immediately asked about Qianshan Xue.
“Rest assured, Master Qiushan, Qianshan Xue is unharmed for now,” Yoshida Morichi smiled, “Oh, and I forgot to mention, Ye Qiu has come to Daito.”
“Where is he?” Qiushan Nange asked.
“He’s at the Amaterasu Shrine,” Yoshida Morichi said, “That fool thought you were being held there, so he went to rescue you.”
“Little did he know, I’ve set an inescapable trap at the shrine.”
“By now, he should be close to death.”
Hearing this, Qiushan Nange’s expression shifted slightly, and she angrily rebuked, “Yoshida Morichi, what exactly do you want?”
Yoshida Morichi grinned sinisterly, “Don’t you know what I want? I want revenge for my brother.”
Qiushan Nange said, “This has nothing to do with Ye Qiu, I killed your brother. Let Ye Qiu and Xiao Xue go, and you can have my life.”
“I want your life, and I want you,” Yoshida Morichi said, grabbing Qiushan Nange’s clothing and tearing it with force.
With a “rip,” Qiushan Nange’s outer garment was torn apart, revealing her fair skin and red undergarments.
Yoshida Morichi’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he smirked wickedly, “Master Qiushan, I’ve admired you for years. If you’d agreed to be with me sooner, how could things have come to this?”
“Of course, I prefer getting you this way, it’s far more thrilling for me.”
“Tch tch tch, Master Qiushan, I didn’t expect your skin to be so well-maintained, even better than that of a teenage girl…”
As Yoshida Morichi spoke, he reached for Qiushan Nange’s shoulder.
“Get lost,” Qiushan Nange shouted angrily.
“Master Qiushan, stop pretending. Everyone knows you and your disciple Qianshan Xue act proper on the surface, but in private, heh heh…” Yoshida Morichi chuckled maliciously, “Master Qianshan, just enjoy yourself!”
“Rest assured, I’ll be very gentle, I guarantee you’ll be in ecstasy.”
“Maybe after experiencing my prowess, you’ll even want to marry me, haha…”
Yoshida Morichi laughed uncontrollably, his hand, originally reaching for Qiushan Nange’s shoulder, suddenly changed direction, moving towards her chest.
