A luxury private jet lands at Kyoto Airport, and shortly after, a black sedan stops beside it via a special access lane. Original Tanaka Qingzuo steadies her father, Tanaka Ichiro, as they step off the plane. The elder first takes a glance at the jet, then asks Qin Feng, who is also stepping down: "Qin Feng, are you certain all the items from the store have been moved over?" Qin smiles reassuringly: "Don't worry—everything has been stored in the back warehouse. If you'd like, you can come over there anytime and check it yourself. All movable items except the building have been transported." The elder harbors this doubt because he notices the jet has only just landed—how could all the store's belongings have been moved so swiftly? It seems utterly impossible. Yet, he follows Qin's instructions and boards the plane, then heads toward the warehouse. Qin arrives a minute earlier. With a wave of his hand, various items gradually emerge from the storage area and are neatly arranged. The old man pushed open the door and stepped in. Upon seeing the scene, he immediately burst into tears, reaching out to touch a wooden carving over a hundred years old, and murmured, "You all truly remain, and that gives me peace. When we reach the Chinese nation, I'll have you restored to your original splendor and continue serving the Harada restaurant!" Qin Da, standing in the adjacent cabin, sighed and shook his head, saying, "Such a contented old man—no wonder he raised such a pure and well-mannered daughter. It's truly worth all the things my brother has done for you!" Since it was a private plane, the departure time was entirely at Qin Da's discretion. He contacted the flight crew and the airport control center to arrange for the plane to take off as soon as possible, leaving this dull place behind. As for whether Qin Feng would return again, he actually still quite enjoyed doing such things. …… At the secret office of the Yamaguchi Group headquarters. A middle-aged man with gray hair sat in the main seat, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, exuding a refined and composed demeanor. Before him, a ninja knelt—precisely the one who had fought Qin Feng and taken a flying sword strike. Perhaps to make the supervisor clearly see that he had truly given his best, he had not changed his clothes and allowed the blood seeping from his side wound to continue flowing. "To this day, he still manages to justify himself. After all, the one who passed away was the organization's third-ranking officer—besides holding significant power, he was also the cousin of Yukiwaka Hidetaro, with a close personal relationship between the two. That's why he was sent to Kyoto to oversee affairs. The team leader, his expression as calm and serious as ever, asked, "Was it only one person on the other side?" "Exactly one," the shadow ninja replied. "I suspect that the collapse of the Ryūguchi group last time was directly linked to this individual. I'm certain—there's at least a 90% chance it was his doing!" Yukiwaka Hidetaro nodded and smiled, saying, "You've worked hard. Go down now and treat your injuries—change into fresh clothes!" The ninja was delighted inside, yet carefully concealed his joy. At the same time, he bowed his head heavily to the ground and said, "The death of the deputy head is directly tied to me. It was my failure to protect him. I therefore request that the team leader hold me accountable." "Hiraga Hidehiko waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault at all. After all, the other side was truly formidable. You've survived and managed to deliver these intelligence reports—what a remarkable achievement! So don't worry; I won't hold any blame against you!" "Thank you, Chairman. At the time, I thought the same—my death would have been a minor setback, but failing to pass on the message would have been truly regrettable. If I had known then that I could make such a difference, I would have chosen to meet my end alongside them." The ninja expressed his loyalty: "Shadow Ninja, I pledge to serve the Chairman forever!" "Very well. Go now, rest well, recover from your injuries, and I'll assign you a new mission shortly!" After the ninja had departed, Hiraga Hidehiko stood up, walking back and forth in front of his master, murmuring to himself, "How did we end up facing these Chinese cultivators? Our Yamaguchi Group has always maintained peaceful relations with them—no conflicts, no incidents. What could have possibly prompted them to launch such a strong campaign against us?" "Thinking it over, he recalled what had happened in the Ryūkōzu group—the new head had been beaten up at a restaurant for flirting with the owner's daughter, and as a result, the entire Ryūkōzu group was wiped out that very night." "That makes perfect sense," he said, slamming the table. "The connection between the cultivator and the restaurant owner's daughter must have been special. So, first attacking the man, then eliminating the Ryūkōzu group—how foolish of the manager, Toshima! He not only kidnapped the restaurant owner, but also planned to threaten the daughter. As a result, not only did he lose his life, but he directly triggered the massacre at the gathering point!" Truly a capable head of the Yamaguchi Group—based on such limited information, he had made an absolutely sound judgment. Now, he faced two options: either send more people to deal with the Chinese cultivators, avenge the fallen, and restore the organization's dignity; or, alternatively, reconcile and treat the entire incident as if it had never happened. Though he sits atop the mountain of the Yamaguchi Group, making a choice between these two paths isn't an easy task. Half an hour later, the Shadow Ninja, dressed in fresh attire, returned and knelt down to say, "Director, according to the latest update, a private plane has been dispatched from China. Mr. Harutaka and his daughter have already boarded. They're requesting the airport to schedule their departure. What should we do now?" "Tell me what actions you've already taken," said Kikuchi Heita in a calm tone. The Ninja spoke honestly, "I received the report just ten minutes ago. I've arranged for the airport to delay their departure as much as possible, and I've also sent personnel to the site. Our routine inspection of the aircraft's exterior and performance was used as an opportunity to install bombs on board!" Kikuchi Heita frowned and said, "A single bomb—can it really kill a Xu Zhen? You're thinking too simply. They can fly on their swords, and at the very moment of explosion, they can simply take off and escape!" The ninja added, "I know he can save himself, but what about the others on the plane? No matter how great his abilities, he can't possibly carry everyone with him. I've already dispatched three boats, stationed right at the incident site, to transport the Shadow Ninja via helicopter. Once they've landed and reached the water, we'll be ready to strike."
