Chapter 222

Upon hearing Yamamoto Zhangshan's words, Kitagawa Yamamoto's expression instantly stiffened.

"Chiko is dead? Impossible, absolutely impossible. I just rushed back from the Eastern Sea, how could this be?"

Kitagawa Chiko was indeed dead, irreversibly so.

"Yamamoto-kun, I advise you to leave the Eastern Sea as soon as possible. I feel this is a very dangerous signal. Kitagawa Chiko is dead, and so is the head of the Kitagawa family, Kitagawa Kensetsu. This is a good thing for us."

"That's right, Mr. Yamamoto. You and Kitagawa Chiko have always been at odds, and now that she is dead, your competitive pressure has decreased significantly."

227, A Cigar

Yamamoto Zhangshan lit a cigar, took a puff, exhaled thick smoke, and said indifferently, "Our competitive pressure isn't too great, but the Kitagawa family still has Kitagawa Yusei left, and his strength is quite formidable. It will still be quite difficult to smoothly become the next family head."

This statement undoubtedly revealed his ambitious nature.

However, this was no fault of Kitagawa Zhangshan; as the future heir of the Kitagawa family, it was simply impossible to make him content with his station.

"Mr. Yamamoto, I believe the reason Kitagawa Chiko issued a bounty to hunt you down was likely under the orders of Kitagawa Kensetsu. We might as well take this opportunity to simply eliminate Kitagawa Kensetsu; in that case, Kitagawa Chiko would lose her threat." A young man nearby interjected.

12 This fellow looked refined and gentle, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with a sharp glint always shimmering in his eyes, as if he were extremely interested in power.

Kuchiki Senya sat on the grass by the beach, gazing at the surging sea, lost in deep thought.

In his mind, a beautiful and enchanting face appeared.

That face had once given him infinite warmth.

Yet, the words spoken by that Miss before her death still echoed in his ears: "Senya, I know you are very powerful and talented, but... we are not on the same path."

These words were like a thunderclap, circling repeatedly around Kuchiki Senya's ears.

He punched and exploded that Kitagawa family Chunin, and almost killed his own younger sister.

"Sigh." Kuchiki Senya let out a sigh; he was unwilling to recall the past, as that would only increase his troubles.

In fact, if not for Kitagawa Chiko, Yamamoto Nen might have died that night as well.

"I wonder where you truly are. Do you know that I have been searching for you for so long? Whenever I sleep at night, your figure flashes through my dreams."

Speaking to this point, Kuchiki Senya paused, then added, "You don't know how much I envy you, envy you for having such a beautiful mother, and envy you for being able to possess a father's love."

He tilted his face upward, looking at the starry sky, as if seeing a bright full moon.

"I truly envy your childhood."

"Big Brother, I am not resigned." A young man in a suit stood beside Kitagawa Zhangshan, his face incredibly gloomy.

This fellow's name was Kitagawa Kenichi, the Second Young Master of the Kitagawa family, and Kitagawa Zhangshan's cousin.

In his view, although Kitagawa Kensetsu's death was a good thing, the Kitagawa family must be led by him, Kitagawa Kenichi; he would not allow any objections, otherwise it would be a violation of bloodline inheritance and he would surely face the hostility of the entire Kitagawa family!

Since childhood, Kitagawa Kenichi had been suppressed by Kitagawa Zhangshan, with a belly full of anger, but since there was nowhere to vent this rage and grievance, he could only use strength to solve the problem!

Unfortunately, he was simply no match for Kitagawa Zhangshan!

"My good younger brother, I know what you are thinking." Kitagawa Zhangshan said with a smile, "But what is most important for us now is to first help Kitagawa Chiko clear away obstacles; this is a shortcut, just..."

Pausing for a moment, he took a deep drag of his cigarette: "Just that if the news of Kitagawa Chiko's death spreads, it will cause internal turmoil within the Kitagawa family."

"We don't need to worry about so much; as long as Kitagawa Zhangshan is dead, that is enough." Another core member of the Kitagawa family said, "Although Kitagawa Zhangshan is the family heir, his influence within the family is not particularly great. Apart from Kitagawa Chiko and Kitagawa Kensetsu, his uncles and elders are all stronger than him, and this Kitagawa Zhangshan, according to my judgment, should be one level weaker than me, so we must find a way to eliminate him."

"Good, let's do as you say." Kitagawa Zhangshan nodded.

228, Distinguished Guest

At this moment, Kitagawa Zhangshan suddenly remembered that enigmatic man. He ordered the bodyguard beside him, "Go check where that distinguished guest is staying this time. If possible, invite him to attend the banquet we are hosting; I hope he can come."

The "distinguished guest" in his mouth was naturally the Supreme God of the Dark World!

Kitagawa Zhangshan knew that Kitagawa Kensetsu was no longer a threat, and his own father had also died; in the days to come, he would have to lead the Kitagawa family back to glory.

"Big Brother, rest assured, I will definitely accomplish this." After Kitagawa Kenichi finished speaking, he looked at the distant sea again, "However, let us not forget that our enemies include another force; they have also set their sights on the Yamamoto Group."

"This fellow, I will kill him sooner or later." Kitagawa Kenichi said.

Kuchiki Senya stayed on the island for three days; after three days, he left.

He was preparing to return to the Eastern Sea.

This period was Kuchiki Senya's most comfortable time; during these few days, he met a beauty every day, and such romantic fortune was simply indescribable.

Even, one night, Kuchiki Senya had relations with a mixed-race woman of excellent figure.

Of course, the other party was a married woman, but in Kuchiki Senya's eyes, this was not a problem; after all, he was a top-tier super assassin in the Dark World, and taking down a woman was truly an extremely easy matter.

During these three days, Yamamoto Zhangshan did not send anyone to follow Kuchiki Senya, nor did he stop the other party from fooling around with female companions.

His target was very clear, namely—to kill Yamamoto Zhangshan.

This old fox had been waiting for Kuchiki Senya to reveal a flaw, then strike for the fatal blow.

"This time, no matter the cost, I must kill you..." Yamamoto Zhangshan said viciously in his heart.

And Kitagawa Zhangshan's plan was—to kill Kitagawa Zhangshan and monopolize the Yamamoto Group.

Kuchiki Senya thought, "No wonder Kitagawa Zhangshan is able to survive to this day; he truly has some skills. If it were any other family heir, they would probably have been defeated by their own brothers by now."

However, just as he was preparing to embark on his return journey, a fishing boat sailed into his sight.

The volume of that fishing boat was absolutely not small; on this desolate island, it was like a moving castle.

This ship was drifting slowly towards Kuchiki Senya.

"What is going on?"

Kuchiki Senya squinted his eyes, and his gaze became dangerous.

In his view, the target of this ship was clearly coming for him!

"No matter what the other party wants to do, as long as they dare to block my path, they must bear the risk of death."

Having said this, Kuchiki Senya took out a pistol and slowly chambered a round.

He did not immediately fire.

However, just at this moment, the fishing boat had gradually approached, and the giant flag on the bow revealed its form!

"Sun God Temple!"

Kuchiki Senya's pupils abruptly contracted, and then his gaze instantly turned icy!

The Sun God Temple's war chariot has finally come to the Eastern Seas, has it?

Where exactly did they come from? Why choose this particular moment to come to the Eastern Seas!

The fishing boat's speed grew faster and faster, already drawing closer and closer to Kuchiki Senya!

"…Not good, this is the rhythm of an attack on me!"

This thought made Kuchiki Senya's entire body tense up!

Under such circumstances, even he did not believe he could take a cannon shell head-on!

What's more, he still suspected whether the Sun God Temple's warship was equipped with missiles!

If that were the case, then wouldn't his odds be far worse than favorable!

However, what slightly reassured Kuchiki Senya was that the ship did not seem to have any intention of launching missiles, nor was there any sign of the hull tilting; instead, after approaching Kuchiki Senya, it began to decelerate.

"Could it be that I misunderstood?"

Under these circumstances, Kuchiki Senya could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

However, immediately after, his legs went weak, and he actually sat down on the beach!

In that instant, Kuchiki Senya felt an endless, boundless sense of weakness!

The energy within his body retreated like a tide! Even lifting an arm was an effort!

In that brief, fleeting instant just now, he had lost all his abilities! Just like an ordinary mortal!

In the moment the waves surged, the figure of that girl suddenly flashed before his eyes.

229. Ready to Deploy at Any Moment

That beautiful girl had once wrapped her slender, graceful waist around him, pressing her pretty face against his chest.

However, those scenes all dissolved into bubbles, vanishing forever.

"Apollo, thank you for saving my life; I hope you'll still remember me in the future." Kuchiki Senya murmured to himself.

…………

Just as Kuchiki Senya was being surrounded by the Sun God Temple's fighter group, in a villa belonging to Kitaoka Zhangshan, a man in a black suit was also quietly waiting for news.

"President Kitaoka, we have already mobilized five hundred armed helicopters, ready to deploy at any moment." At this moment, a subordinate standing beside Kitaoka Zhangshan said in a low voice.

"Mm." Kitaoka Zhangshan nodded lightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Then now, we set out. We are going to make the entire land of Huaxia tremble for three minutes."

"President Kitaoka, have you truly decided?" the subordinate asked: "This may involve too many things."

570 He was one of Kitaoka Zhangshan's most trusted subordinates; the man knew many secrets, which was why he had always stayed by his side.
