The Qin Family had a huge manor among the villa cluster.
At this moment, the living room of the Qin Manor was packed with people, including members of the Qin Family, the Dragon Group, and the National Security Department.
"Has Tokugawa Nakaji been caught?" asked Ma Rulong, the head of the Dragon Group stationed in the Liangjiang Special Zone. (Xiantian late stage)
"Lin Hao's team has already gone in pursuit."
"Yet their strength might not be able to handle him."
"Since you knew, why didn't you dispatch more reinforcements?" Gao San, the Jiangbei head of the National Security Bureau, scolded with tightly knitted brows. (3S superpowered individual)
The target of this surprise attack was the Qin Family. If Boss Qin found out that the Qin Family had been attacked and the culprit couldn't even be caught under his jurisdiction, he would lose a layer of skin even if he managed to survive.
"Hmph, when our Dragon Group does things, it's not the National Security's turn to meddle," Ma Rulong said, ignoring Gao San's words.
"I can ignore other matters, but when it concerns the Qin Family, the National Security cannot stand idly by," Gao San replied sternly.
The members of the Qin Family had somewhat of a headache. Clearly, they had called these people here to handle this matter, so why were they arguing instead?
Qin Gongming was the head of the Qin Family, possessing a Core Condensation early stage cultivation base. He had three sons and a daughter. His eldest son, Qin Tiansheng, was his greatest pride, serving as a 3S superpowered individual and the head of the National Security Bureau headquarters—even stronger than him. His second son, Qin Tianan, and third son, Qin Chao, were businessmen, also possessing Xiantian early stage cultivation bases and managing parts of the Purple Cloud Imperial County.
The Qin family member injured this time was Qin Tiansheng's son, Qin Hao, and Qin Chao's seven-year-old son, Qin Huai, who were also the targets of the attack. Qin Hao, who was at the Houtian middle stage, was simply no match for Tokugawa Nakaji. Fortunately, the butler, Qin Fen, arrived just in time, or else their little lives would have been gone long ago. At the time of the incident, Qin Gongming was in the city drinking and playing chess with an old friend.
"Grandpa, little uncles, how are things?" Qin Lan asked.
As it turned out, the reason Qin Lan had left Ling Yun's home was because her father had called to tell her that her two cousins had been attacked, which was why she had hurried back in a rush.
"The ones who died were a few bodyguards. Qin Hao was heavily injured, but his life was saved, and Qin Huai only suffered light injuries," Qin Gongming sighed before speaking.
"Did my cousin offend someone?"
"No, it's probably an enemy of your eldest uncle."
"Xiao Lan, until this is investigated, you should go out to play less often recently," Qin Tianan instructed.
"Second uncle, where is my brother hurt?" Qin Xianglian asked as she walked back from outside holding her daughter.
"Second great-uncle, where did my uncle go?" the little child in Qin Xianglian's arms asked in a babyish voice.
Just as Qin Tianan was about to explain the ins and outs of the matter to these younger generations, a pleasant ringing sound echoed through the living room.
It was Ma Rulong's cell phone ringing.
"Hello?"
"District Chief Ma, I am Lin Hao. We couldn't catch him, we've let you down." One could tell he felt quite embarrassed while speaking.
"What? You bunch of good-for-nothings, how do you do things?" Ma Rulong said angrily.
Because the speakerphone was on and the volume was rather loud, everyone present heard it.
Gao San's veins bulged even more. He ran away? They couldn't catch him? How was he supposed to face Boss Qin? His official hat might not be secure this time.
"I'm sorry, District Chief. We already heavily injured him, but his aura vanished in an instant," Lin Hao said with frustration.
"What's going on?"
Lin Hao immediately reported everything to Ma Rulong verbatim, leaving everyone full of questions.
"All of you come back. Under these circumstances, Tokugawa has already escaped," Ma Rulong ordered.
"Tokugawa hasn't left Jiangbei yet, we should join forces to hunt them down. What do you say, Ma Rulong?" Gao San was thinking about how to redeem himself with meritorious service.
"Fine, I agree. They are too arrogant; we must deal them a heavy blow for daring to run wild in a place I manage," Ma Rulong said indignantly.
He immediately gave orders that any clues must be reported immediately without fail.
Yet what they didn't know was that everything they did would be in vain, because Tokugawa Nakaji was already dead.
Late at night
A shadowy figure appeared in front of Villa No. 2403 in District 11.
"This is it. The aura of Tokugawa Nakaji using his secret technique for the last time vanished right here." After speaking, the shadow raised its head to look at the villa, not sensing anything unusual about it.
The shadow was the person in charge of this assassination operation, Suzuki Yo of the Island Nation's Yasukuni Shrine, who was at the Core Condensation Realm. At the same time, he was a long-established assassin on the hit list, and a wanted fugitive in Huaxia who didn't dare show his true face even in broad daylight.
No matter what, he had to investigate. Why had Tokugawa disappeared? He had to find the answer. Ever since he arrived before the door of this villa, he had a feeling that Tokugawa Nakaji's disappearance must be related to it—not to mention that Suzuki Yo's intuition was quite accurate indeed.
With a backflip, Suzuki Yo arrived at the villa's front courtyard. A look of joy crossed his face; sure enough, he was right. Tokugawa's final secret technique vanished right here, so the owner of this villa... His eyes stared fixedly ahead.
Suddenly, he saw an incomparably terrifying eye. Yes, just an eye—a human-sized vertical eye was suspended in midair. Because it was too sudden, even Suzuki Yo was startled, and as a reflex, he threw a punch. This punch slammed directly into that eye, and the eye absorbed it straight away. He was confident that with this punch, he could heavily injure a Core Condensation middle stage opponent, yet it couldn't exert the slightest effect on that eye right now.
Suzuki Yo stood dumbfounded, his hair standing on end. He finally knew where Tokugawa was—Tokugawa was waiting for him in hell. He regretted why he had come here; if he could choose again, he would definitely not come to investigate.
The Void Eye blinked at Suzuki Yo, and Suzuki Yo's body began to petrify from the bottom up. Watching his feet turn into stone without any pain or itching, this method was heaven-defying and earth-shattering.
Suzuki Yo's last dying words before complete petrification were, "Lord god..."
Another ant, heh. Everyone who disrupts my daughter's life must die. Ling Yun snapped his fingers, and that was how the scene with the Void Eye just now came to be.
Wisps of Merit Points flowed into Ling Yun's glabella. Ling Yun rubbed Qianqian's head as she lay in his arms, a smile curving the corner of his mouth.
