The Heiho one, Akihisa, looked serious, and so did Nakamura Shun-nan. From their faces, one could clearly see the same word: confidence. Especially Nakamura Shun-nan, who felt his current arrangements were truly outstanding. Not only did he have the renowned Wushen sect known for assassinations, but also the largest ninja school in the country joining forces—this dual approach would surely bring down Qin Feng. Yet he had no idea that the two factions were fighting fiercely over credit, their internal struggles alone consuming over 60% of their total combat strength. With Qin's young leader's relentless efforts, the ninja and Wushen forces had already been nearly wiped out. Akihisa trusted his own team as well—though they hadn't yet reached the level of seasoned veterans, they had executed similar missions before and were certainly well-prepared. After all, this was the Sun Country; even the most accomplished Wushen figures couldn't stir much of a ripple with just a few of them. "Master Kaga, your team should soon deliver Qin Feng's head to us, correct?" He asked with a smile. As the employer, it truly didn't matter to him who ultimately completed the mission. What mattered was that one party could fulfill the original agreed-upon compensation—meaning the other party would inevitably end up in the role of merely accompanying the prince. In front of Master Kaga, he naturally wanted to give him face; in truth, he preferred that the Wushi Sect succeed. Master Kaga smiled warmly, "Of course. Qin Feng was already struck by our Five Elements poison last night. Even if he manages to expel part of it, he will certainly be severely injured. Securing him will be a mere breeze. To be honest, I've dispatched two senior jounin and over forty mid-level jounin to handle him—there's no way we could fail." "Upon hearing this, Naka Hidenori felt instantly uncomfortable. The two Jonin had originally been assigned to protect him—now they must have been reassigned. What a relentless and unyielding opponent this Kaga Kiyoshi is, going to any lengths to achieve his goals. His phone rang. He answered, "Hello, this is Naka Hidenori. What's going on? You've secured the person, excellent. Have them bring him back immediately. I want to have my way with his wife right in front of Qin Feng's head—hahahaha!" Kaga Kiyoshi glanced at him with disdain, thinking how many people had fallen victim to women's influence. He had always assumed Naka Hidenori wouldn't make such a mistake. Now it seemed, even he was no exception. ... With a swift leap of the sword, Qin Feng quickly located the four business vehicles traveling in a line along the highway. He exhaled a deep breath, relieved that he had arrived in time. With a thought, he directed his course downward. He created a few obstacles ahead, forcing four vehicles to slow down and pass. Just as they reached their slowest pace, the flying sword swiftly punctured all their wheels. Pfft... the sounds of tires deflating rose and fell in succession. Then, the man holding a machine gun landed on the hood of the first vehicle, shouting, "Everyone get off the vehicles! Anyone who dares to resist will be shot!" The passengers were terrified. Someone on the second vehicle tried to resist, only to have their forehead pierced by a bullet. Thus, no one else dared to oppose—everyone got off steadily. Yet, among them, there was no Qingzi. He carefully inspected all four vehicles, and found them all empty. He grabbed the most timid-looking man, pointed his gun at his head, and demanded sharply, "Answer my questions, or you'll die!" "Yes, sir. I'll answer whatever you ask," the man stammered, nearly having a urinary emergency. "Why are you all driving these four cars? There should have been a girl among you! If you don't tell me the truth, I'll shoot you dead right here!" "I'm telling you, I'm telling you. Originally, we were driving a tourist minibus. Later, four business vehicles blocked us and asked to swap with us. We thought, what's the harm in it? So we agreed and made the switch. As for the girl you're talking about—was she a beautiful woman resembling a movie star? Yes, she was indeed with that group." NND, those bunch of brats had played me for a fool with a classic 'golden cicada shedding its shell' trick. He aimed his gun at the ground, and the bullets sparked as they splashed against the earth. The man was so frightened that his legs gave way. He then asked, "In what direction did those people drive off? At what time did the vehicle exchange take place?" "About ten minutes ago, at a four-way intersection. As for the direction they went—I really don't know, because it was our vehicles that were originally on the road!" Qin Feng left the group and headed toward the supposed four-way intersection. Indeed, it's a convergence point of five roads—no matter which direction he pursued, his chances were only twenty percent. He didn't care about the details anymore. A mid-size bus could travel far in ten minutes; he'd just follow it. Twenty minutes later, he spotted an abandoned mid-size bus parked by the roadside, its cabin empty. Frustrated, he smashed the door frame flat and exclaimed, "These guys are absolutely ghostly!" Previously, when changing buses with others, he had managed to leave some traces. Now, however, no one knew what happened after they got off the bus—what bus they boarded next. This wasn't in China, so he could request assistance from the Ministry of Transport. Yet, he immediately realized: according to the doctors' descriptions, these people had boldly seized others—something entirely out of the ordinary for ninja-style conduct. That meant only one explanation! Fujimoto Toshihisa. Fujimoto Toshihisa, leveraging his affluent status, was perfectly capable of doing something like this. Moreover, those people frequently switched vehicles specifically to conceal their relationship with him and divert attention. With this strategy in mind, finding suitable contacts became straightforward. Before coming to the Sun Kingdom, he had thoroughly investigated every property owned by Nakamura Shun-nan through various channels. Last night's explosion targeted his most cherished villa; without this one, he would surely choose another. Qin Feng swiftly rushed to the new location, already sensing the villa's exceptional security defenses at just three kilometers away—no less impressive than the one destroyed the previous night. This clearly indicated that Nakamura Shun-nan was residing here, and all he needed to do was wait for the kidnappers of Seiko to appear and then rescue her. Inside the villa, a heated argument was underway. The two parties involved were naturally Nakamura Shun-nan, the host, and Kaga Ichiku, the guest. "Kaga senior, I don't understand why your people have been entangled with the Shikinami spirits and why they were treated so cruelly," he angrily demanded. Hakawa Ichiro, growing old and proud, remarked, "They have severely disrupted our operations. After being warned, they not only refuse to yield but have even killed my men. Under such circumstances, how could my men fail to fight back!" Nakamura Toshihisa, in a heated tone, said, "You've engaged in a fierce battle with the Shuli Sect, and the outcome? Their three key figures have all perished, and twenty-some of ours have fallen—yet Qin Feng remains unharmed. Isn't that a clear case of a loss?"
