Chapter 351: One Link After Another

Gangdao Far East Club, Yuan Qingnan received a call from Kusakari Ichiro.

Kusakari Ichiro weakly said, "Advisor Yuan Qing, the boss was killed, and the Dark Gate has carried out an assassination operation against the Mountain Gate Group again."

Hmm, the use of the word 'again' is good!

The fourth generation of the Mountain Gate Group was killed by the Dark Gate, and now sending off the fifth generation makes perfect sense!

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingnan was first furious, then calmed down; this isn't necessarily a bad thing for him.

"Besides the boss, who else in the Mountain Gate Group was killed?"

Kusakari Ichiro paused for a moment; although Cao Nan avoided the vital points, this stab went straight through, literally.

"All the high-ranking members of the Mountain Gate Group have perished; I led a team to raid the Dark Gate's headquarters, but I was also stabbed and sent to the hospital."

Yuan Qingnan's head buzzed; the death of the fifth generation isn't a big deal, but the annihilation of the high-ranking members makes this a major issue!

Yuan Qingnan is indeed extraordinary; he went over the whole matter in his mind.

He shouted, "Given the Dark Gate's assassination capabilities, I can understand the high-ranking members being wiped out, but Advisor Kusakari, how do you know where the Dark Gate is stationed?"

Kusakari Ichiro replied, "The fifth-generation leader never let go of the fourth generation's matter, and through clues traced the Dark Gate's headquarters location."

"The fifth-generation leader knew about your feelings for the fourth-generation leader, wanted to wait for you to return and handle it personally, but before you came back, the Dark Gate's assassination arrived."

Whether to speak or not, Cao Nan indeed has a knack for handling things; he had worked out the whole cause and effect for Kusakari Ichiro!

Truly a cultured person!

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingnan was stunned; the fifth-generation leader hadn't forgotten the grudge against the fourth-generation leader, but his vision was grand—he regarded the Dark Gate as the object of revenge, while he only wanted to kill Tachibana Masahito.

The superiority between them is immediately clear!

Yuan Qingnan's eyes were bloodshot; Dark Gate, what a Dark Gate!

Are they treating the Mountain Gate Group as a soft persimmon, to be squeezed whenever they want?

Yuan Qingnan glared with bloodshot eyes and asked, "What did you gain from raiding the Dark Gate's headquarters?"

Kusakari Ichiro said, "I only took out the Dark Gate's gatekeeper and the guarding staff; after interrogation, those assassins, after attacking the Mountain Gate Group's high-ranking members, went to Gangdao, and their target was you."

"If they kill you too, the Mountain Gate Group will pose no threat to the Dark Gate; that's why I called to warn you to be careful—you must return quickly to take charge, otherwise the Mountain Gate Group will be finished!"

Kusakari Ichiro merely changed the chronological order; the meaning he expressed is completely different from the truth.

Yuan Qingnan laughed furiously and said loudly, "Fine, you stabilize the situation; I'll wait for them in Gangdao—I swear I won't be a person unless I exterminate them!"

Yuan Qingnan hung up the phone, then called his subordinates; he did not fully believe Kusakari Ichiro's words.

His subordinates in Little Japan replied quickly; this matter is too big—just need to investigate whether Kusakari Ichiro was injured or not.

"Mr. Yuan Qingnan, this is true; if Advisor Kusakari hadn't been lucky, and the stab wound had been slightly off, he would have died—no amount of saving could bring him back!"

"I understand!"

Yuan Qingnan has his own pride; as the strongest of the Mountain Gate Group, he won't return to Little Japan now, and unless he exterminates the Dark Gate's assassins, he has no face to go back.

However, in Gangdao, he has no source of information; to take revenge, he can only bow his head to that bastard of Immortal Trust.

Between revenge and bowing down, Yuan Qingnan chooses to bow down!

Xi Gong.

Others had received the news, and Li Xin naturally also knew what had happened in Little Japan; early that morning, he summoned everyone for drinks.

Red Trust Restaurant.

Li Xin sat in the hall, clinking glasses with Old Six and those old-timers.

It's clear these old-timers are very happy, especially Old Six, who laughed loudly, his upturned mouth never dropping!

He even laughed and said, "Good! Really good! Very good!"

"I don't know which hero did this, but if I could meet them in this lifetime, I would definitely kowtow to them several times!"

Li Xin laughed brightly; there's no need to think—everyone knows who did this!

Yesterday he hadn't taken Cao Nan's big gift to heart, but after receiving the gift today, Li Xin even wanted to hug and kiss Cao Nan a few times.

This was done splendidly!

Even if this caused his arrangements in Little Japan to come to nothing, Li Xin wouldn't care, as long as Cao Nan and the others return safely.

Little Japan's capital.

Hmm, Cao Nan and the others are not only safe, but now they're living very leisurely!

Although Kusakari Ichiro is in the hospital, he arranged pleasant activities for Cao Nan and the others, hoping those devils will have enough fun and leave quickly!

Cao Nan isn't a rigid person either; given how enthusiastic Kusakari Ichiro is, if he didn't accept, it would be too disrespectful.

In the hot spring hotel, Cao Nan soaked in the springs, embracing a young woman in his arms, being busy.

After finishing his business in the hot spring, he found a tent to continue; for some reason, he just likes to conduct affairs in a tent.

Cao Nan and his group seem as if yesterday's affair wasn't done by them, showing no tension at all.

Yet when they get down to business, they are extraordinarily brave!

After the wind and rain ceased, once everyone had finished playing, Cao Nan then gathered them for a meeting, never forgetting the post-battle summary.

In a reception room, Cao Nan pointed to the driver and Xiao Hai who had spoken yesterday.

"You two go on guard duty; seeing you look like bald eagles annoys me!"

The two, who were valiant yesterday, today felt embarrassed facing the platoon leader's teasing, and touched their bald heads.

Hmm, their heads and faces are very clean, cleaner than a monk's— a monk only lacks hair, but they have no hair on their heads or faces at all.

Their lives weren't lost, but their hair was!

Cao Nan looked at everyone and continued, "This matter has caused a big stir; I just want to emphasize one point: if word leaks out, we'll take a few more Japanese with us— is that a problem?"

Today the platoon leader let them loose to play, so they understood what he meant.

Today all of Little Japan is under lockdown— no one allowed in or out; if they can't leave, they'll take as many as possible before death.

"Platoon leader, we know what to do; if we can't get out, we'll cause a big scene— taking one breaks even, taking two yields a profit."

These people showed no fear on their faces, they are fiercer than those gangsters from Gangdao!

No comparison!

Kyoto Medical University Hospital.

Ichiro Kusakabe lay on the hospital bed, being questioned by the Metropolitan Police Department.

Inspector Matsushita asked in shock: "Kusakabe-kun, are you saying that all the high-ranking members of the Yamaguchi-gumi have been killed?"

Kusakabe Ichiro nodded slightly, his face pained as he replied: "Right after the shrine was burned yesterday, all the high-ranking members of the Yamaguchi-gumi met their end."

I think these two things are definitely related; otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence!

Matsushita urgently pressed: "Kusakabe-kun, could you elaborate?"

It's no wonder Matsushita is anxious; yesterday could be called his dark day, with three major incidents occurring in succession.

A residence turned into a battlefield, the shrine reduced to ashes, and even the enshrined ashes were completely burned away by this fire!

Besides that, this morning another report came in: all the high-ranking members of the Yamaguchi-gumi were killed; is he the beloved son of the Calamity Day God?

So favored!
