Please Invite Them Into the Urn

Meanwhile.

Inside the Takasugi Sushi Restaurant in Manila.

After receiving the email from Watanabe Motoji, Takasugi Hei didn't realize that Watanabe had been killed.

Until half a month later.

On September 11th, Takasugi Hei received a call from Watanabe Motoji.

"Senior Takasugi, how have you been lately?"

"I'm fine. How is the investigation work at Darte Port? Have you found out the background of that company?"

A reply came quickly from the other end of the phone: "We have the results, but you need to come over. The other party seems to be hesitating. I need you to bring some good friends to help them recognize reality."

"Oh? What's your plan?" Takasugi Hei knew this was a sure thing.

"Senior, don't you know the heir of the Fernando family? Isn't he in Northern Camarines Province (where Darte Port is located)? There are many people in Southern Camarines Province."

"The Fernando family?" Takasugi Hei frowned. "This family is not easy to deal with. We'll have to give them a share then. Is that company worth it?"

"It's worth it. Senior, it's best not to report to headquarters immediately. I'm worried they'll mess things up. Let's wait until everything is settled before claiming credit from headquarters!"

Takasugi Hei pondered for a moment. If he reported it immediately, the credit might not be his.

After all, the Eastern Ying United Chamber of Commerce was complex. Takasugi Hei and Watanabe belonged to the Fuyou Association, and people from other financial groups wouldn't easily let them take all the spoils.

Of course, it was impossible to completely exclude other financial groups.

"I need to make some arrangements."

"Senior, why don't you bring Fukuda and Takahashi along? It would be more convenient for them. We need to finish everything as soon as possible to avoid further complications," Watanabe reminded him from the other end of the line.

Hearing this, Takasugi Hei made up his mind. Indeed, as Watanabe said, Fukuda and Takahashi had simpler connections in Luzon. Although they were from the Mitsui and Kangyin financial groups, as long as he made arrangements before going, they wouldn't easily leak any information.

"I'll make the arrangements. I'll go negotiate with the Fernando family as soon as possible."

"Then let's set a time. How about in three days? We'll meet at the Starfish Restaurant in Darte Port."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Takasugi Hei summoned his assistant, Takahashi Zensuke, and asked him to notify Fukuda Shin, who was a teacher at the Japanese language school, to come over.

Half an hour later, Takahashi and Fukuda appeared in the backyard of the sushi restaurant.

Takasugi Hei didn't reveal the details to them. He only said that there was a mission that required their accompaniment and that they would depart the day after tomorrow morning, asking them to meet at the sushi restaurant.

Takahashi and Fukuda didn't find Takasugi Hei's mysterious behavior strange. After all, they were intelligence officers, and many missions required secrecy. Since he didn't explain, it was best not to ask any questions.

After arranging his own people, he immediately summoned Mada Fernando, the heir of the Fernando family, to the sushi restaurant.

They had a face-to-face meeting for over an hour, during which they finalized the general division of interests and agreed to meet at the sushi restaurant the day after tomorrow morning before heading to Darte Port together.

Time flew by.

Around 3 p.m. three days later, Takasugi Hei and his two companions, along with Mada and five bodyguards, appeared at the entrance of the Starfish Restaurant in Darte Port.

Watanabe, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared at the entrance wearing a hat and led them into a private room. While eating and drinking, they discussed the matter of Homo sapiens Company.

By evening, two members of the Fernando family who worked in Darte Port also appeared in the private room. After a satisfying meal, Watanabe arranged for a bus to take them to the hotel.

However, after they all boarded the bus, Poison Mosquito quickly taught them a lesson.

Looking at the prey in the cage, Li Qingye's expression was cold.

Takasugi Hei and his two companions, the three from the Fernando family, and five bodyguards.

Standing by the side, Soldier Watanabe respectfully awaited his instructions. Li Qingye commanded, "Follow the previous arrangement and return to Manila to stabilize the remaining intelligence officers."

"Yes, Boss." Watanabe nodded immediately.

The others also acted swiftly.

For example, the two members of the Fernando family in Darte Port were the head of the Public Security Bureau and the second-in-command of the local Tax Department.

The head of the Public Security Bureau used his phone and a voice changer to say that he was going to Manila for personal matters and would be away for about half a month, and that they could call him if anything came up.

The person from the Tax Department requested leave for half a month, citing an overseas trip.

Finally, there was Mada Fernando. His situation was simpler. Takasugi Hei had asked him to keep his visit confidential beforehand, and he had told people he was going to Darte Port for a vacation. All he needed to do was keep his phone accessible.

In fact, the conversation between Watanabe and Takasugi Hei was all within Li Qingye's plan. There were even three Soldiers lurking near Takasugi Hei's sushi restaurant at the time.

If Takasugi Hei had called the Eastern Ying headquarters immediately after that phone call, he wouldn't have been able to utter a single word before being eliminated by the Soldiers.

Similarly, Takasugi Hei's conversation with Mada and his actions over the past few days were all under the surveillance of the Soldiers.

Li Qingye had already made other contingency plans. If any accident occurred, the losses would be minimized.

Fortunately, everything was within controllable limits, so the backup plans were not needed.

Furthermore, Watanabe's suggestion to cooperate with the Fernando family was not a random choice but a target that Li Qingye had carefully considered.

Although this family had a Spanish surname, they were actually indigenous families of Luzon who had adopted Spanish surnames during the Spanish colonial rule. This was a common practice in Luzon.

The rise of this family was also filled with sin and bloodshed.

Even now, in the 21st century, they still have a considerable number of black market operations, such as cooperating with the Fuqing Gang in Manila for fraud and kidnapping Chinese people. They secretly control three gangs and are rampant in the southern part of Luzon.

Mada, who was captured, was a veritable piece of scum in Manila, known by the nickname "Human Motor." Over a hundred women were defiled by him, and many were tortured to death.

As for his bodyguards, they were all selected from the gangs and had blood on their hands. After all, it was difficult to stay clean when working for scum like Mada.

Li Qingye had no psychological burden in using these people for modification.

To avoid any further complications, the gene modification of these individuals began immediately. Takasugi Hei, Fukuda Shin, Mada Fernando, and two members of the Fernando family were the first experimental subjects.

The unimportant bodyguards and Takahashi were the second batch.

Five days passed quickly. The modifications were very successful, as technology is constantly advancing. They didn't even lose much of their lifespan, with at least thirty years remaining.

Once the gene modification was complete, they immediately proceeded with the implantation surgery.

These individuals were very important. They were the key to whether Homo sapiens Company and Li Qingye could establish a foothold in Luzon. If even one modification failed, it could lead to the plan spiraling out of control.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. These individuals were all between 30 and 45 years old, within the safe range for modification.

Looking at the completed Soldiers and the intelligence extracted from their brains, Li Qingye could finally bare his fangs.

Thank you all for your support (ω｀), and happy National Day.
