The Qin Family owned a massive estate within the villa complex.
At this moment, the living room of the Qin estate was packed with people from the Qin Family, the Dragon Group, and the National Security Department.
"Has Tokugawa Nakaji been captured?" asked Ma Rulong, the head of the Dragon Group's Liangjiang Special Zone branch. (Xiantian late stage)
"Lin Hao's team has already gone after him."
"But their strength might not be enough to deal with him."
"Since you know that, why didn't you send more people?" Gao San, the head of the National Security Bureau's Jiangbei region, asked with a frown, his voice sharp. (S-class superpowered individual)
The target of this assassination attempt was the Qin Family. If Boss Qin found out that they couldn't catch the culprit while the Qin Family was under his jurisdiction, he would be in serious trouble, even if he wasn't killed.
"Hmph, the Dragon Group's affairs are not for the National Security Bureau to interfere with," Ma Rulong said, ignoring Gao San.
"I don't care about other things, but when it concerns the Qin Family, the National Security Bureau cannot stand idly by," Gao San replied sternly.
The Qin Family members were starting to get a headache. They had called these people to handle the situation, but now they were arguing.
Qin Gongming, the head of the Qin Family, was at the Core Condensation early stage. He had three sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Qin Tiansheng, was his greatest pride and the Director of the National Security Bureau, a 3S superpowered individual, even stronger than him. His second son, Qin Tiannan, and third son, Qin Chao, were businessmen who also had Xiantian early stage cultivation and managed parts of Purple Cloud Imperial County.
The Qin Family members injured in this attack were Qin Tiansheng's son, Qin Hao, and Qin Chao's seven-year-old son, Qin Huai. They were also the targets of the attack. Qin Hao, at the Houtian middle stage, was no match for Tokugawa Nakaji. Fortunately, the butler, the elder Qin Fen, arrived in time, or their lives would have been lost long ago. At the time of the incident, Qin Gongming was in the city drinking and playing chess with an old friend.
"Grandfather, cousins, how is it?" Qin Lan asked.
It turned out Qin Lan had left Ling Yun's home because her father had called to tell her that her two cousins had been attacked, prompting her hurried return.
"Several bodyguards were killed. Qin Hao was severely injured, but his life was saved. Qin Huai only sustained minor injuries," Qin Gongming said with a sigh.
"Did my cousins offend someone?"
"No, it's likely your eldest uncle's enemy."
"Xiao Lan, don't go out much recently until we've investigated this clearly," Qin Tiannan instructed.
"Second Uncle, where is my brother injured?" Qin Xianglian asked as she returned from outside, holding her daughter.
"Second Great Uncle, where did my uncle go?" the child in Qin Xianglian's arms asked in a milky voice.
Just as Qin Tiannan was about to explain the whole story to these youngsters.
A pleasant ringtone echoed through the living room.
It was Ma Rulong's phone.
"Hello?"
"Director Ma, it's Lin Hao. We couldn't catch him. We've disappointed you." Lin Hao's voice was filled with embarrassment.
"What? You bunch of idiots, how could you mess this up?" Ma Rulong roared.
Because the speakerphone was on, the sound was loud, and everyone present heard it.
Gao San's veins bulged. He ran? Couldn't catch him? How was he going to face Boss Qin? His official career might be over.
"I'm sorry, Director. We did heavily injure him, but his aura disappeared in an instant," Lin Hao said dejectedly.
"What happened?"
Lin Hao immediately reported everything to Ma Rulong, and everyone else was filled with questions.
"Return, everyone. Given the situation, Tokugawa has already escaped," Ma Rulong ordered.
"Tokugawa hasn't left Jiangbei yet. We should join forces to capture them. What do you say, Ma Rulong?" Gao San was thinking of how to atone for his mistakes.
"Good, I agree. They are too arrogant. We must strike them hard. How dare they cause trouble in the area I manage," Ma Rulong said indignantly.
He immediately gave orders for any leads to be reported immediately without delay.
However, they didn't know that all their efforts would be in vain, because Tokugawa Nakaji was already dead.
Late at night
A dark figure appeared in front of Villa No. 2403 in Zone 11.
"This is it. The aura of Tokugawa Nakaji's last secret technique disappeared here," the dark figure said, then looked up at the villa, finding nothing unusual.
The dark figure was the person in charge of this assassination operation, Suzuki Yo of the Island Nation's Yasukuni Shrine, a Core Condensation Realm expert and a notorious assassin on the wanted list in Huaxia, someone who dared not show his true face even during the day.
No matter what, he had to find out why Tokugawa disappeared. He had to find the answer. Ever since he arrived in front of the villa, he had a feeling that Tokugawa Nakaji's disappearance was related to this villa. And Suzuki Yo's intuition was indeed very accurate.
With a backflip, Suzuki Yo landed in the villa's front yard. A smile spread across his face. It was indeed true. Tokugawa's last secret technique disappeared here. Then, the owner of this villa... His eyes fixed on the front.
Suddenly, he saw an incredibly terrifying eye. Yes, just one eye, a vertical eye the size of a person, suspended in the air. The sudden appearance startled Suzuki Yo, and he reflexively threw a punch. The punch landed on the eye, which absorbed it directly. With this punch, he was confident he could heavily injure an opponent at the Core Condensation middle stage, but it had no effect on the eye.
Suzuki Yo was dumbfounded and terrified. He finally knew where Tokugawa was. Tokugawa was waiting for him in hell. He regretted coming here. If he could choose again, he would never have come to investigate.
The Void Eye blinked at Suzuki Yo, and Suzuki Yo's body began to petrify from the bottom up. He watched his feet turn to stone, feeling no pain or itching. This was an astonishing technique.
Suzuki Yo's last words before completely petrifying were, "My God."
Another ant, hehe. Anyone who disrupts my daughter's life must die. Ling Yun snapped his fingers, and the scene with the Void Eye just now occurred.
Traces of Merit Points flowed into Ling Yun's forehead. Ling Yun stroked Qianqian, who was lying in his arms, and smiled.
