Chapter 3339

As the warrior was killed by Hattori Hanzo with a single slash, all the warriors were struck with grief as if they had lost their parents.

It was only at this moment that they realized that even if they sacrificed themselves, it would be meaningless and impossible to earn enough living expenses for their families for the rest of their lives, because the mastermind behind them was already unable to protect himself.

Mitsui Yoshitaka was furious at this moment, stomping his feet on the spot and shouting angrily: "Mitsui Yoshikou, Mitsui Yoshikou! This bastard is not only my younger brother, but also my most trusted confidant whom I have always relied on! He has followed me for so many years, always obedient and compliant by my side! Whenever I walked somewhere with a cigar in my mouth, he would bring the ashtray to me! For all these years, I have regarded him as my most loyal left and right hand, never expecting him to try to harm me!"

Ye Chen smiled and asked him: "In the circles of royalty, nobility, and top-tier families like yours, how many examples have you seen of brothers being of one heart and whose unity could cut through metal? How did the second-in-command of Saudi Arabia treat his brothers? You must have heard about it, right? And what about someone born of a mother? In the face of huge interests, shouldn't they just be killed if they need to be?"

After saying that, he then said to Mitsui Yoshitaka: "Originally, I said your people would handle the outer perimeter, my people the second ring, and I the third ring. But now your people definitely won't be able to arrive in time, so I suggest you immediately contact the higher-ups of the Metropolitan Police Department and directly inform them that Tawana is being hunted down. Although the Metropolitan Police Department is a mixed bag, I believe its highest leadership would never dare to entertain corrupt thoughts, and they certainly do not want to see Tawana encounter danger in Tokyo, so they will surely spare no effort."

Mitsui Yoshitaka said without hesitation: "Good! I will contact the person in charge of the Metropolitan Police Department right now!"

Ye Chen added: "Tell them to immediately mobilize all police helicopters and armed police in Tokyo to reach the dome as quickly as possible, and also tell them that all Metropolitan Police personnel can only blockade the scene from the outside, with no one allowed to enter the interior. I will take the Iga ninjas' defensive line as the absolute boundary, and anyone I do not trust will not be allowed to cross this line. As long as the police are confined to the outside, temporary safety can be ensured."

Mitsui Yoshitaka dared not question Ye Chen's words at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Ye, rest assured, I will arrange it properly!"

Ye Chen nodded, then turned to look at Tawana and said: "It seems our plan needs to be slightly adjusted. The dark flower of one billion US dollars is a major problem—this amount is too tempting, and assassins all over the world will regard you as the most valuable target. No matter where you go, it will be hard to ensure absolute safety."

Tawana looked at Ye Chen helplessly yet full of expectation: "Mr. Ye, do you have any good ideas?"

Ye Chen said: "The only solution is to address the problem at its source—find a way to cancel this dark flower. Once the dark flower is canceled, these assassins will naturally no longer pay you any attention."

Tawana asked: "Then how can the dark flower be canceled?"

Ye Chen said: "There are two options. First, you directly use your phone to record a video, exposing all the information you know that they don't want you to reveal online. They want to kill you just to silence you, right? Once it's public, silencing you becomes meaningless. Moreover, by then they will be preoccupied with saving themselves and have no energy left to retaliate against you."

Tawana hesitated and said: "But... but if I do that, my entertainment career will be over..."

Ye Chen frowned and asked her: "What? Is there a scandal?"

Tawana pursed her lips and nodded lightly in shame.

Ye Chen sighed and said: "Then forget it—we have very strict requirements for artists there. If a scandal spreads, not a single one of the twenty concerts can be held."

After saying that, Ye Chen added: "Then we only have the second option left."

Tawana hurriedly asked: "What is the second option?"

Ye Chen was about to speak when he suddenly felt many vehicles approaching from the outside, with at least hundreds of people rushing quickly toward the backstage entrance.

He knew this must be another group wanting to take the dark flower, so he immediately said to Hattori Hanzo: "The enemy has come! Prepare to repel the enemy! Have your people knock out all these warriors, smash all the lights—you ninjas can only maximize your advantage in the dark!"

Hattori Hanzo had not yet realized someone was coming, but upon hearing Ye Chen's warning, he dared not delay in the slightest and immediately said: "Iga ninjas, hear my command! Knock out all warriors, destroy all lights. Afterward, any person entering without verified identity shall be killed without mercy!"

The Iga ninjas are a family, and more importantly, a militarily managed unit. As soon as Hattori Hanzo finished speaking, the ninjas beside the warriors who had surrendered and knelt on the ground immediately used hand knives to knock out the warriors beside them, while the other ninjas swiftly pulled out shuriken-shaped throwing knives and hurled them at all light sources in the passage.

Having trained for years in throwing flying darts, their aim was near-perfect—ten out of ten. Only the sound of crackling shattering could be heard around them, and the entire passage instantly plunged into darkness.

At that moment, a shout came from the entrance: "Listen to my command! Everyone rush in and kill that American woman! If it can be confirmed afterward who killed her, the Yamaguchi-gumi will reward that person with one hundred million US dollars! Others can also share another hundred million US dollars! If it cannot be confirmed who killed her, it's fine—we will all share two hundred million US dollars! Two hundred million US dollars, brothers! Since we are the first batch to arrive, let's fight quickly and decisively—each person will at least get one million US dollars!"

The Yamaguchi-gumi members shouted excitedly, even whistling in unison.

Some even deliberately used the tongue-clicking accent unique to Japanese yakuza to shout loudly about chopping Tawana to death with random knives.

Immediately, the footsteps of several hundred people came from both sides, making even the floor tremble.

But when they rushed in, they discovered that the central corridor had already become pitch black—so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

At that very moment, the person leading the charge suddenly let out continuous screams of agony.

The Iga ninjas had already struck—while the enemies had not yet seen them, their poisoned throwing knives were fired in unison.

In this passage, a massive volley of throwing knives was unleashed, creating an effect like a storm of pear blossom needles. In one round, dozens of people were directly taken down.

The Yamaguchi-gumi members behind were still running frantically. When their comrades in front were hit by the throwing knives and fell to the ground, they too were tripped and fell flat on their faces.

The throwing knives of the Iga ninjas did not stop—the first row was hit and fell, the second row tripped and was then hit again, and then the third row tripped again and was struck once more.

In the flash of lightning and stone, the first few rows of Yamaguchi-gumi members charging ahead all received their boxed lunches—corpses piled up layer upon layer, directly blocking the advance so tightly that not even water could seep through.

The Yamaguchi-gumi members behind were greatly shocked, not knowing what had happened, and shouted loudly: "Quick! Quick! Use flashlights to check—something seems wrong ahead!"

As soon as they finished speaking, a fool pulled out his phone trying to turn on the built-in flashlight, but the moment the phone screen lit up, he became a firefly in the darkness—before he could even turn on the flashlight, several throwing knives shot toward him.

With a few puffing sounds, several more unlucky souls died.

"Damn it! Eight gar ya road! There's an ambush ahead!" someone shouted.

Immediately afterward, someone else shouted: "Oh no! My brother ahead is dead! They have hidden weapons!"

Those behind who wanted to get rich shouted loudly: "What the hell are we afraid of? Charge forward recklessly and take them down—then we'll get the reward! Brothers, don't be afraid, boldly go……"

Before this person could finish speaking, an eyeliner pencil was directly stabbed into his skull.

The Iga ninjas cannot locate by sound and guarantee a one-hit kill, but Ye Chen can.

To him, the dark environment is as clear as broad daylight—everything about the enemy is under his control!

Moreover, this time Ye Chen did not hide his strength as he had when dealing with those warriors earlier. He infused spiritual energy into the eyeliner pencil, causing it to pierce straight through the opponent's skull from front to back.

When the heavy, powerful eyeliner pencil burst out from the back of the opponent's head, the tremendous inertia also pulled the back of the skull outward from within, causing it to rupture. A stream of warm, foul-smelling liquid and soft, cotton-like solid instantly exploded like a watermelon, splattering all over the heads and faces of those nearby.

Someone shouted: "Eight gar ya road!!! What sticky stuff splashed into my mouth?! Who the hell is blowing their nose at a time like this?!"

Someone immediately shouted like a madman: "That... that isn't snot... it's Kameda... it's Kameda's brain matter! Kameda got his head blown open!"
