For an ordinary person, suffering such severe injuries as Takagi Ryuuto did would require years of recuperation before they could even live a normal life.
However, Takagi Ryuuto was no ordinary person. He was a powerful esper, and his electrokinesis allowed him to use electricity to stimulate cell division and repair damaged tissues with the aid of medication.
Furthermore, for ordinary people, this cell division is not limitless. It consumes telomeres within the mitochondria. Once the telomere length becomes too short, human cells can no longer divide, and the person cannot carry out metabolism, eventually dying in agony.
Takagi Ryuuto's esper ability was different. His cell division directly consumed electrical energy without depleting the mitochondria's reserves. This granted him nearly limitless regenerative capabilities. In theory, as long as he wasn't instantly killed and had sufficient power and nutrition, he could recover.
After a considerable time, Takagi Ryuuto felt his body reach its limit. With a thought, he instantly unleashed a powerful burst of electrical current from himself.
"Click!"
Stimulated by this pulse, the transformer directly tripped, cutting off the power supply.
Takagi Ryuuto removed the metal clips from his fingers. He was bare-chested, his lean, muscular physique enough to make fujoshi swoon.
He put on his outer garment and walked to a nearby shelf, picking up a bottle of specially formulated nutrient solution and drinking it in one gulp.
After all, cell division not only consumed energy but also a vast amount of nutrients. Without the support of nutritional substances, blindly dividing cells would be depleting one's life force.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he found a member of the Black Dragon Group waiting outside.
"Lord Takagi, the leader is waiting for you. He said he has something to discuss with you!"
Although Takagi Ryuuto was not a member of the Black Dragon Group, none of its members dared to look down on him. Firstly, he was the grandson of the current leader of the Black Dragon Group, Kurofuji Takuumi, as Takagi Ryuuto's mother was Kurofuji Takuumi's daughter.
Secondly, Takagi Ryuuto's combat prowess had deeply impressed the members of the Black Dragon Group. Not only could he hold his own in one-on-one combat, but even seven or eight people ganging up on him would struggle to defeat him. Takagi Ryuuto didn't even need his esper abilities to deal with these Black Dragon Group members!
Takagi Ryuuto exited the room and arrived at the entrance of a traditional Japanese house with a long history. Two Black Dragon Group members at the door respectfully opened the door for him.
Takagi Ryuuto walked straight in. Inside, an old man wearing a magnificent samurai outfit, with a black dragon emblem embroidered on his chest, was smiling at him.
"Grandfather, what do you need me for?"
"Ryuuto, how is your injury? To what extent have you recovered?"
"Thank you for your concern. My injuries have completely healed.
Moreover, this misfortune has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The injury has stimulated my body, and now I feel my strength has increased compared to before!"
"Yoshi, very good! Your mother would be proud of you if she knew how outstanding you are!"
Takagi Ryuuto's mother, Kurofuji Takuumi's daughter, had died in a car accident over ten years ago. Takagi Ryuuto's father had also died in the same accident.
Later, the Black Dragon Group investigated and found that it was not an accident but an assassination orchestrated by their rival forces.
A few years later, Takagi Ryuuto personally went to their rival's base and wiped them out, leaving no survivors.
However, it was precisely because of this incident that Takagi Ryuuto developed a strong aversion to the Black Dragon Group and refused to join them, as he always believed that his parents' deaths were directly related to the Black Dragon Group!
The only reason he remained here was out of respect for his grandfather, Kurofuji Takuumi. Kurofuji Takuumi doted on his grandson immensely, providing him with the best cultivation resources from a young age and hiring the best kendo instructors for him.
Although Kurofuji Takuumi was a cunning old schemer, he was undeniably devoted to his grandson.
Because of this, Takagi Ryuuto would occasionally step in to help the Black Dragon Group deal with some troublesome enemies.
"Grandfather, what is it you need me for?"
"Ryuuto, there is indeed a matter that requires your assistance. We have recently received a commission from a business partner to kidnap a woman from Huaxia and bring her to Japan.
This woman is a weakling with no strength to even truss a chicken. Although she has some bodyguards, they are merely ordinary experts.
I hope you can lead a team to Huaxia and resolve this matter, as you are the most familiar with the situation in Huaxia!"
Upon hearing this, Takagi Ryuuto's brow furrowed. He had a bad feeling about this.
"Grandfather, do you have detailed information? I'd like to see it first!"
"Yoshi, you are very good. I admire your caution..."
As Kurofuji Takuumi spoke, he picked up a document from the coffee table in front of him and handed it to Takagi Ryuuto. Takagi Ryuuto respectfully took the document with both hands and opened it, his expression immediately turning grim.
The photograph of the woman in the document was deeply etched in his memory. This woman was none other than Ling Tian's fiancée, Wang Bingxia!
It was this woman who had caused his severe injuries and his ignominious retreat!
If he hadn't possessed his esper abilities and used all his might, he would have likely lost his life on Longpan Mountain!
Kurofuji Takuumi looked at his grandson with a smile. He said, "How is it? Not too difficult, is it? A mission of this level is child's play for you.
The reason we need you to handle it is that our business partner for this commission is very important to us..."
"The business partner you mentioned, the client, is the Kawashima Zaibatsu, right?" Takagi Ryuuto put down the documents, his tone becoming somewhat displeased.
Kurofuji Takuumi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "It is them. How did you know about this? Did the Kawashima Zaibatsu leak this information?
I specifically instructed them to keep this matter confidential. Did they break their promise?"
Takagi Ryuuto's expression turned very serious. "Grandfather, we cannot accept this commission! I don't believe our Black Dragon Group has the capability to kidnap this woman from Huaxia!"
"Nani? Ryuuto, there's no need to inflate the enemy's prestige. The Black Dragon Group's strength has grown rapidly in recent years.
Especially recently, the Japanese military has sent us a batch of personnel. The strength of these personnel far exceeds your imagination!
I believe bringing this woman here is a task with no difficulty for us!"
"Heh heh..." Takagi Ryuuto's face displayed a wry smile.
