After finishing his words to Kobayashi Takuma's wife, Mitsui Kenji left.
Miehiko was just an ordinary housewife in Sakura Country, and she had no choice but to compromise.
That day, as dusk fell.
In a prison cell at the East Sakura City Metropolitan Police Department, Kobayashi Takuma, covered in blood, was tortured to the brink of death.
"Please... please... let me go... I'm telling the truth, they are really there..."
Looking at Kobayashi Takuma's state, the person in charge of interrogating him nodded, walked out of the interrogation room, and reported to Mitsui Kenji.
"President, Kobayashi-kun's words should be true. The people who blew up our Shikoku Island headquarters and East Sakura City branch should be the same group of people who rescued the special experimental subject that night."
"Kobayashi-kun said their current location is here."
The interrogator reported the results to Mitsui Kenji, and at the same time, pointed to a coordinate on the map.
That coordinate was precisely the hiding place of the Prophet Xiang Jingzhu and others!
"No matter who the person Kobayashi-kun mentioned is, these are talented individuals. They must be captured alive!"
After understanding the whole story, Mitsui Kenji gave the order.
"This time it will definitely succeed. Find someone to take me back to the castle, I need to prepare for the Hundred Banquet."
"Hai!" The self-defense force interrogator agreed and was about to do as Mitsui Kenji instructed.
"Wait!"
However, Mitsui Kenji waved his hand again and stopped him.
"President Mitsui, do you have any other instructions?"
"The incidents these past few days have been quite large, and that place is in a busy area. If your self-defense force is deployed, it will inevitably cause public panic."
Mitsui Kenji said, "The self-defense force should not go. Let the ninjas under Sato handle it. For this kind of work, ninjas are more professional than your self-defense force."
"Hai!"
Soon, the Koga Ninja clan, a special ninja group hired by the Mitsui Group, had also arrived in East Sakura City with Mitsui Kenji.
Upon receiving Mitsui Kenji's orders, they equipped themselves and headed straight for Xiang Jingzhu and the others' hiding place.
Several people wearing dark blue ninja uniforms scouted ahead of the residence and returned to report to the leader, Sato Itsuki.
"Lord Sato, the lights are still on in the room, and we can faintly hear sounds coming from inside. It is estimated that the other party is unaware of our arrival."
Sato Itsuki narrowed his eyes and looked at the brightly lit residential building in front of him.
Immediately, he waved to his subordinates.
"Remember the President's orders, capture them alive. Go."
With Sato Itsuki's command, the ninja jumped out of the trash can he was hiding in and blew a whistle.
Whoosh—
Following that, ninjas wearing ninja uniforms appeared one after another from other trash cans by the roadside, low bushes, various dark corners, and small alleys.
Soon, they gathered together, exchanged a few gestures, and communicated with a few glances.
Then, they began to act!
The top ninjas often employ the most straightforward attack methods.
Some used hammers to break open windows, while others blocked the main entrance.
Some threw smoke bombs into the windows.
In an instant, the room was filled with smoke, making it unbearable to breathe.
Sato Itsuki, observing from a trash can not far away.
At this moment, he seemed to smell the scent of victory, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
For him, this mission was too simple.
However, as the ninjas guarding the entrance were all coughing from the smoke billowing from the room.
No one came out of the room!
What was going on?
"Cough, cough! You guys continue to guard... cough, cough! Remember to capture them alive."
The lead ninja, coughing continuously, left this instruction for his subordinates and, with a heart full of doubt, hurried to report to his boss, Sato Itsuki.
"Lord Sato, no one has appeared. I think the target may have been stunned by our smoke bombs."
"No."
However, after hearing the lead ninja's words, Sato Itsuki shook his head.
He said, "You should have noticed that after we deployed the smoke bombs, the voices in the room stopped abruptly, but there was no usual coughing. What does this indicate?"
"What does it indicate? They've been stunned?" The lead ninja was completely bewildered.
"Baka!"
"This indicates that the room may have another exit, and they have already escaped!" Sato Itsuki, extremely disappointed, slapped the lead ninja on the forehead.
"Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and go in to see if they've escaped, and go after them!"
"Hai!" After being beaten and scolded, the lead ninja immediately agreed in a panic and scurried back to the front of the residence.
"Baka! Why are you all standing here? You bunch of idiots, you don't even know if the enemy has escaped! What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and go in to see if the target has escaped, and go after them!"
He took out his anger from his superior on his subordinates.
Then the lead ninja took the lead, put on his gas mask and night vision goggles, and rushed into the house.
As he had already started acting, his subordinates could not fall behind either, and they also put on their gear and rushed in.
However, Chen Fan had already arranged for the Prophet Xiang Jingzhu and others to evacuate in the afternoon.
Therefore, this group of ninjas was destined to gain nothing.
But in reality, a "gift" awaited them.
Because after Chen Fan had Xiang Jingzhu and the others evacuate, he had the Prophet make some arrangements in the room...
As the more than twenty ninjas brought by Sato Itsuki searched the room.
On the rooftop of a tall building not far away, the Prophet, who had observed the entire situation, put down the telescope in his hand.
Then, he took out a small remote detonator from his pocket.
"To use your Sakura Country's words, it's time to say Sayonara." With a cold laugh, the Prophet pressed the detonator.
Immediately, several loud bangs were heard from the residential area!
As many ninjas as had entered before were now blown out!
Looking at the burning bodies falling to the ground, and at the residential house engulfed by flames, Sato Itsuki was stunned and frozen on the spot.
He never imagined that what seemed like an incredibly easy mission would turn out like this!
