Kobayashi Takuma lost his patience and cut to the chase. He then turned to his wife, "Mieko, pack your things, we're leaving."
"They don't even cherish such a once-in-a-lifetime escape opportunity. These Great Xia people are truly stupid!"
"Hey! You scoundrel..." Kobayashi Takuma leaving was one thing, but for him to add such a jab before leaving, Hu Huo immediately became unhappy.
Before she could utter any harsh words, the Seer reached out and grabbed her arm, "Enough, we're all destined to meet. Don't dwell on it. Peace is what matters."
"Hmph! It's only because of you that I won't bother with him. Otherwise, I would have shown him my power long ago!" Hu Huo said indignantly, huffing and puffing before stomping back to her room.
"I, a proud man of the Great Sakura Kingdom! It is I who am too lazy to stoop to the level of a mere woman!" Kobayashi Takuma retorted, shouting towards Hu Huo's room door.
Hu Huo didn't want to deal with him anymore and remained silent.
Kobayashi Takuma then packed his things with his family and hired a car to leave.
As he was leaving, Kobayashi Takuma turned his wheelchair around and spat towards the gate of the residential building, "Pah! A bunch of cowards, you all wait here to die!"
After his family left, the Seer called Chen Fan to report the situation.
"What? Kobayashi Takusui actually left? Is he an idiot!"
Upon hearing the Seer's report, Chen Fan's expression changed. He said to the Seer through the phone, "Your current residence is probably no longer safe. Listen to me, you must change your location immediately..."
The port of Dongying City.
At this time, due to the hospitalization of Mitsui Kenji, the guards and the blockade here had been significantly relaxed.
Kobayashi Takuma and his family had boarded the ship without any hindrance.
However, just thirty minutes before the ship was to set sail, a group of Self-Defense Force soldiers suddenly rushed onto the vessel.
"Dear passengers, there has been a terrorist attack in Dongying City recently, so we will be conducting routine checks. Please do not worry; we are merely preventing any escaped terrorists from getting away..."
As the soldiers checked each cabin, such an announcement was broadcast throughout the ship.
Soon, the Self-Defense Force soldiers reached Kobayashi Takuma's cabin.
"Here are our IDs. We are Great Xia expatriates in the Sakura Kingdom, returning for a visit."
Respectfully handing over his identification, Kobayashi Takuma still felt a bit uneasy.
After all, the ID he held was fake.
The magician had made these IDs overnight.
More than ten of them, each with one, were so realistic that they were designed to pass such checks.
The magician had said that these IDs were so perfect that they would never be discovered!
Despite these words, Kobayashi Takuma was still a little worried.
"Yoshi, no problem. Have a pleasant visit." The Self-Defense Force soldier in charge indeed did not find any issues with the ID. After saluting, he left.
Kobayashi Takuma looked at the ID in his hand and began to look at the Seer, the magician, and the others with newfound respect.
Such exquisite forgery skills were worthy of a friend of that gentleman, truly a master!
Kobayashi Takuma and his family were secretly congratulating themselves in their cabin.
Suddenly, their cabin door was knocked on again.
"Who is it? Your people just finished their routine check."
Thinking he had escaped danger without a hitch, Kobayashi Takuma let down his guard and waved to his wife from his wheelchair, "Hey, Mieko, go see who it is."
"Hai." Mieko replied and went to open the door.
The moment the cabin door opened, more than a dozen heavily armed Self-Defense Force soldiers rushed in!
"Don't move! Hands behind your heads!"
"A misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! Your people already checked. We are just Sakura expatriates visiting relatives in Great Xia..."
Kobayashi Takuma was terrified by the scene and hurriedly raised his hands, babbling his explanations.
Before he could finish speaking, a strong old man with a youthful face entered the cabin.
This person was none other than Mitsui Kenji, who had laid a trap and was waiting for them to fall into it!
"Heh heh! Since when did Mr. Kobayashi become a Great Xia expatriate? Why do I have no recollection of this?"
Mitsui Kenji sneered, looking at Kobayashi Takuma, "No wonder the Dongying branch was so easily blown up. It was you!"
"Pre... President!" Upon seeing Mitsui Kenji, Kobayashi Takuma trembled all over in fear.
He never imagined that Mitsui Kenji, who had repeatedly fainted from high blood pressure and been hospitalized, was actually faking it this time!
"Don't call me President!"
Mitsui Kenji's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He said coldly to Kobayashi Takuma, "Mr. Kobayashi, you have worked under me for over seven years. I, Mitsui Kenji, believe I have treated you well."
"However, I never imagined that you would not only betray me and the conglomerate, but also blow up my headquarters! You scoundrel!"
Mitsui Kenji became increasingly angry as he spoke. By the end, he swung his arm and slapped Kobayashi Takuma across the face repeatedly.
For a moment, the entire cabin was filled with Kobayashi's screams!
After venting some of his anger, Mitsui Kenji, now holding a cigar, asked Kobayashi Takuma, who was beaten into a pulp, "Hey! Mr. Kobayashi, tell me yourself, why did you do this? What was your motive for bombing the Shikoku Island headquarters and the Dongying City branch?"
Facing Mitsui Kenji's questioning, Kobayashi Takuma replied indistinctly, "President Mitsui, it really wasn't me. In fact, I was also a victim in this matter..."
Before Kobayashi Takuma could finish speaking, Mitsui Kenji waved to his subordinate, "Hey! You all saw it. Mr. Kobayashi's mouth is indeed tough! Come on, think of a way to make him tell the truth!"
"Hai!"
The few Self-Defense Force soldiers standing behind Mitsui Kenji responded loudly.
Then, Kobayashi Takuma was carried away by them, taken off the ship, and disappeared.
Mitsui Kenji said to Mieko, "I know you. Your name is Mieko, right? You and your child are safe. I will arrange for someone to take you home shortly."
"Even without Mr. Kobayashi, you must live well. I will give you fifty million as compensation."
