722: Chapter 722 [Ghost Shadow Warrior] 722: Chapter 722 [Ghost Shadow Warrior] “Since that’s the case, I’ll share a piece of information with Miss Mikako.
In two days, Chu Qingxue will personally escort that item to Jiangnan University,” Jiang Tian said.
A sharp light flashed in Mikako’s eyes as she smiled at Jiang Tian, “Then I must thank Mr.
Jiang.
As long as we obtain what we desire, we will also satisfy all your wants.”
“Haha, it’s fantastic to be in collaboration with you and your team, Miss Mikako,” Jiang Tian laughed heartily.
“Working with someone like Mr.
Jiang also saves us a lot of trouble,” Mikako said.
“Haha, in two days, Chu Qingxue will personally take that document to Jiangnan University.
It’s also a great opportunity for us to make our move,” Jiang Tian raised a glass of red wine.
Mikako also raised her red wine, “Here’s to a victorious start!”
“Clang!”
Though the two seemed amiable and cooperative on the surface, working towards the same goal, in reality, both harbored ulterior motives.
“Do you really just want that document, or is there more to it?
You’re also putting in so much effort to bring down Chu Corporation,” Jiang Tian thought to himself with a cold snort.
Mikako was once again frightened by Jiang Tian’s cunning, holding back such crucial information.
An hour later.
Mikako arrived at Dongyang Villa, greeted by Yoshiko Yuda.
“Miss Mikako, what brings you here?” Yoshiko Yuda couldn’t help but express her astonishment.
“I have information to tell Mr.
Heimu!
Where is he?” Mikako said anxiously.
“Mr.
Heimu has been staying in the cabin in the forest.
Please follow me,” Yoshiko Yuda said as she led the way, with Mikako following behind.
Upon arriving at the forest behind Dongyang Villa, both of them furrowed their brows, sensing something unusual about the day.
After exchanging glances, they continued deeper into the forest.
A few minutes later.
“Ah?”
Yoshiko Yuda and Mikako both cried out in shock, startled by the scene before them.
The residence of Heimu, the small cabin in the forest, had completely collapsed.
The surrounding trees and shrubs had also fallen in great numbers—it was a complete mess, as if a great battle had transpired.
“Mr.
Heimu!”
Yoshiko Yuda shouted again, running in one direction.
At the messy site of the cabin, one person lay still—is it not Heimu?
“What happened to Mr.
Heimu?” Mikako also followed up.
After a quick check, Yoshiko Yuda said with a grim face, “Mr.
Heimu is dead, and it appears he died last night.”
“Was he murdered?” Mikako asked curiously.
“It seems so, the wound is on the neck.
It must have been a fatal strike!” Yoshiko Yuda stated.
Mikako looked incredulous, “Someone was able to kill Heimu, who was the apprentice of Ghost Sword’s Ghost Mennoshin?
To think someone could actually kill him?
That’s just unbelievable!”
“What should we do now about Miss Mikako?” Yoshiko Yuda couldn’t help but ask.
Now that Heimu had died, Mikako naturally became the central figure.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you, Miss Mikako, Master Konghai who came along with Mr.
Heimu has also died.” Yoshiko Yuda suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help saying.
“What?
Master Konghai is also dead?” Mikako was even more shocked.
“Do you know who killed Master Konghai?”
“According to speculation, it was probably Ye Chenfeng because Master Konghai went to Ziguang Temple on the day Chu Qingxue and Ye Chenfeng and others went as well,” Yoshiko Yuda said.
“Could it have also been Ye Chenfeng who killed Mr.
Heimu?” Mikako speculated.
“Most likely it was Ye Chenfeng,” Yoshiko Yuda said with relative certainty.
Mikako thought for a moment and then said, “Yoshiko Yuda, you arrange for someone to transport Mr.
Heimu’s body back to our country.”
“No problem,” Yoshiko Yuda nodded.
“Besides, I have to inform Mr.
Heimu’s brother, who is also the master, and make sure he knows all of this,” Mikako said.
Yoshiko Yuda’s body shivered as if hit by a biting cold wind, her lips trembling as she said, “Miss Mikako, you’re talking about the Ghost…
Ghost Shadow Warrior?”
“Exactly, the master is the Ghost Shadow Warrior.
Now that Mr.
Heimu has died, it’s necessary to inform his brother,” Mikako said.
“Ah?
No…
don’t!” Yoshiko Yuda’s eyes filled with terror, her face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat streamed down her forehead non-stop, as if she had seen a ghost.
It was hard to imagine that just hearing a nickname could frighten a person to such an extent.
“We must inform the master.
I need the master’s help with this matter that brought me to find Mr.
Heimu.
We cannot complete it with our abilities alone,” Mikako said.
As if frightened into a stupor, Yoshiko Yuda didn’t take in what Mikako was saying and just muttered to herself, “The Ghost Warrior will definitely kill me.
I was in charge of taking care of Mr.
Heimu, he will surely kill me once he finds out Mr.
Heimu is dead…”
“Pfft!”
Out of nowhere, Yoshiko Yuda drew a dagger and plunged it fiercely into her body, spurting a stream of blood.
Yoshiko Yuda showed no sign of pain; instead, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and her expression seemed almost relieved.
She had actually chosen to commit suicide!
Just hearing someone’s nickname had scared her into taking her own life.
Mikako looked calmly at Yoshiko Yuda’s body and said lightly, “Perhaps choosing suicide was the best outcome for you.”
…
“My great Divine King has found out the identity of Heimu,” Heavenly Eye said excitedly.
Ye Chenfeng’s eyes also showed a hint of excitement.
“Tell me!”
“This Heimu’s background is extraordinary, not only is he the second son of the Jintian Corporation but he is also associated with the Tokugawa Shogunate.
His most famous deed is becoming a disciple of the Japanese Sword Dao grandmaster, Ghost Sword Kamenosuke Shiro, breaking the record that Kamenosuke Shiro never took disciples.
Heimu, having acquired Kamenosuke Shiro’s true teaching, has become remarkably powerful…” Heavenly Eye continued to elaborate on some of Heimu’s deeds.
However, Ye Chenfeng withdrew his attention from him, secretly thinking, “If there are no surprises, it should be this Ghost Sword Kamenosuke Shiro.
Your disciple is so extraordinarily powerful, a half-cooked Ghost Sword Judgment has such might; as a master, aren’t you even more formidable?
Especially since you definitely have more trump cards in your hand.”
Shi Buddha also saw the clue and couldn’t help saying, “Your Highness, Divine King, when I was on a mission in Japan before, I heard of this Ghost Sword’s reputation.
He seems to be on the level with characters like the Black Sun God.
This time, you’ve really stirred up big trouble.”
“I actually hope he comes after me,” Ye Chenfeng said with a slight curve of his lips.
