Kawashima Koichi's expression turned extremely serious.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Father, according to my investigation, a pervert has arrived in Wa Country. This person is incredibly powerful, wielding two Muramasa demon blades. He dares to barge into the strongholds of major gangs in Wa Country single-handedly, and then cripples them?"
"Nani? Crippled?"
"Yes, that is, he severs their arms at the shoulders... In short, he is extremely brutal..."
"You must understand that these martial artists, who are accustomed to fighting and killing, are rendered incapable of even committing seppuku once their arms are gone!"
"Who is this person?" Kawashima Koichi's mind suddenly felt overwhelmed. When it came to perversion, did this world truly have anyone more perverse than the people of Wa Country?
"We don't know. Our current leads only indicate that this person wears a ridiculous mask on his head, a type of mask that was once popular in Hua Country. Furthermore, the target primarily attacks gangs and organizations that frequently bully Hua Country people. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that this person is actually from Hua Country!"
"Baka! Are those people all useless, allowing Hua Country people to run amok on our Wa Country soil!" As an old-fashioned, stubborn Wa Country devil, Kawashima Koichi still held a deep disdain for the people of Hua Xia.
"Find a way to recruit more people. Increase the payment if necessary. I refuse to believe that with sufficient benefits, they won't be willing to accept our commissions!"
"Father, there are people willing to accept the commission, and they possess the strength, but they don't want money; they have other conditions..." Kawashima Koichi said after a moment of hesitation.
"Who are they?"
"The Black Dragon Group!"
Upon hearing the name, Kawashima Koichi fell into thought.
The predecessor of the Black Dragon Group was actually the Black Dragon Society. Compared to other long-standing institutions in Wa Country, the Black Dragon Society's history spanned only a little over a hundred years.
At that time, Japanese militarists controlled the country, and a group of war fanatics embarked on a path of foreign aggression. During this period, a number of ronin, merchants, samurai, and gang members also followed the footsteps of Japan's invasion into the occupied countries.
They formed an organization called the Black Dragon Society. On one hand, they utilized local ruffians and scoundrels in the occupied territories to help Wa Country maintain its rule. On the other hand, they engaged in various underhanded dealings such as smuggling, drug trafficking, and human trafficking, helping the invaders acquire substantial military funds.
Of course, the most crucial mission for these members of the Black Dragon Society was to assist the Wa Country military in gathering intelligence and massacring local patriots and resistance fighters.
Later, after the end of World War II and Japan's defeat, during the prosecution of war criminals, the Black Dragon Society was identified as an organization of aggressors and was subjected to sanctions and dissolution.
However, due to various reasons, particularly the indulgence of the Americans towards Wa Country, a considerable number of Black Dragon Society members did not receive their due punishment. Even though the Black Dragon Society was officially dissolved, some of their core members secretly re-established the Black Dragon Group.
The Black Dragon Group's development in Wa Country over the past few decades had not been very smooth. After all, they bore the label of war criminals, and traditional established powers looked down upon them.
However, in recent years, the Black Dragon Group had once again colluded with the Wa Country military. With the support of these individuals, they gained substantial financial backing, a larger workforce, and even access to weapons through certain channels.
In recent years, the Black Dragon Group had also been seeking the support of major Wa Country financial groups. However, these financial groups were hesitant to cooperate with the Black Dragon Group due to their notorious reputation. As these Wa Country financial groups had extensive business dealings overseas, deep entanglement with the Black Dragon Group was not a favorable prospect!
They had also approached the Kawashima Financial Group, seeking cooperation, but were rejected by Kawashima.
However, now, in order to further advance the Kawashima Financial Group and to satisfy his own ambitions, Kawashima Koichi was tempted.
"Masao, go and negotiate with the Black Dragon Group. Cooperation is possible, but we must first secure the woman named Wang Bingxia and the formula before considering anything else."
"Hai, I understand. I will go and negotiate with them immediately!"
...
In Wa Country's capital, at the foot of Mount Fuji, there were rows of manors. In one of these manors, nearly a hundred men in black were undergoing extremely brutal, even inhumane, training.
The common characteristic of these men was a palm-sized black dragon head tattoo on their bodies!
They were the core members of Wa Country's secret society, the Black Dragon Group. Their training was extremely harsh, not like ordinary gang members, but akin to training secret agents and special forces.
Each year, dozens of people died during their training. However, the Black Dragon Group did not reduce the intensity of their training. The current leader of the Black Dragon Group, Kurofuji Takuya, believed that only such brutal training could maintain the team's combat effectiveness.
In a room within the manor, a handsome man with his hair tied in a topknot was sitting cross-legged on a specially made mat. This mat was thick and made of multiple layers of insulating material.
At this moment, two wires extended from a small transformer on the wall. The ends of the wires were connected to metal clips that were attached to the man's fingers.
What was terrifying was that the liquid crystal display of the transformer showed not only the current intensity but also a voltage of a staggering 380 volts.
It must be known that the safe voltage range for the human body is 36 volts. Once the voltage exceeds this value, it can cause fatal damage to the human body. Even 36 volts is not entirely safe; if a person has underlying health conditions, this voltage can kill them.
A voltage of 380 volts would kill a person in mere seconds.
However, this man, allowing the violent current to enter his body, appeared as if nothing was wrong. Not only that, but his cells, stimulated by the current, were extremely active, dividing at high speed.
A significant amount of electrical energy was even directly absorbed by the cells in the man's body, ultimately being stored within him!
This person was none other than Takagi Ryuubi, who had gone to Longpan Mountain a few days ago to kidnap Wang Bingxia!
Takagi Ryuubi never expected that the place called Longpan Mountain was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. He was directly severely injured by Monk Jie Nu, the second master of Ling Tian, and only managed to escape with his life.
This time, Takagi Ryuubi, who was usually very arrogant and looked down on everyone, even experienced a great sense of fear. Consequently, this fellow did not even dare to remain in Hua Xia and fled directly back to Wa Country.
