Chapter 227: Colonel Sang

A man in a sleeping robe lay on a rattan chair, basking in the sun and sipping tea, looking thoroughly at ease.

His phone rang. After he answered, an aged voice came through: "Yamada, have you gotten to the bottom of it?"

"Yes, Taisa-sama. That Easterner called Kuchiki Senya has indeed come to the East, and he even killed Yamazaki Long Ye. However, he seems to have extremely deep ties with the Daochuan Society."

Colonel Yamada listened, then nodded: "I understand. I will dispatch senior members of the Yamamoto Group to Huaxia to investigate this incident."

He was a man in his fifties or sixties. Though already quite old, his temples were an inky black-green, giving him an extremely sinister and terrifying look.

"Taisa-sama, I suggest we hold off on taking action for now. After all, the Jianghu World of Huaxia is not as simple as it appears on the surface. There are always a few powerhouses in this world who cannot be taken lightly, even within the Yamamoto Group itself. I worry that if we alert the enemy prematurely…"

"Very well." The colonel deliberated for a moment, then said: "I will arrange it."

After hanging up the phone, Colonel Yamada smiled faintly, then called over a subordinate and gave a few quiet instructions.

"Yes, Taisa-sama, I will see to it right away."

Colonel Yamada nodded. He gazed at the steaming tea in his cup and fell into reminiscence.

After a long while, he murmured: "My younger brother, whether or not you truly died at the hands of that Eastern boy called Kuchiki Senya, I will settle every last debt on his head."

A ruthless, vicious glint surfaced in the colonel's eyes.

In truth, he had once been a very refined and cultivated man. But after years of being steeped in power, his entire bearing had grown utterly dark and shadowed.

"Heh, the Jianghu World of Huaxia — I would like to see for myself whether it is truly as formidable as the legends claim." The man smiled faintly, then raised his teacup and drained it in one gulp. Tea stains clung to the rim, giving him a rather eerie look.

"Kuchiki Senya, I have finally found you." A man in a white suit stood at the doorway of Kuchiki Senya's room.
