The hustle and bustle of the opening ceremony receded like the tide, and Capital of Water was once again shrouded in its usual damp and cold fog. The business of Food Is Heaven branch was extremely hot, Kiryu Xiu and " The name Tiger of the Docks and Ryoma, coupled with the rumors that Kirigakure Ninja had visited it, made this store a special existence that Capital of Water no one dared to easily offend.
However, beneath the calm lake surface, the undercurrent is more turbulent than ever.
Kirigakure, Special Assassination and Tactical Squad headquarters.
In the dark room, there was only one oil lamp swaying, making Hozuki Getsuga's grimace mask look even more ferocious.
"Trash!"
He kicked over the Anbu member who was kneeling in front of him, his voice filled with suppressed anger as if a volcano was about to erupt.
"After three days of investigation, you gave me this result? A businessman of unknown origin and a bodyguard are gone? Are you pigs?!"
The Anbu member was lying on the ground, trembling and afraid to speak.
Kito Getsuga's chest heaved violently. The shame of being in the Shiweiten lobby that day before the opening was like a poisonous thorn piercing his heart. He, the genius of the Kito clan and the captain of the Kirigakure assassination tactics special force, had a kunai pressed against his throat by a fat businessman who looked harmless to humans and animals!
This is simply the biggest stain in his life.
"Keep checking!" Hozuki Getsuga's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "I want to know everything about him! Where he came from, who he met, what he said, and even how many times he went to the latrine every day, I want to know everything!"
"Yes!"
"Also, keep an eye on that store and monitor it 24 hours a day. Anyone who comes in or out must be recorded. I don't believe he can keep all those Kekkei Genkai wanted criminals in that restaurant for the rest of his life!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The Anbu members retreated crawling on the ground as if they had received amnesty.
Dead silence returned to the room. Hozuki Getsuga slowly took off his mask, revealing a young but sinister face. He walked to the water basin and looked at his reflection in the water, as if the cold touch still remained on his neck.
"Businessman..." he roared in a low voice and punched the basin with his fist, causing water to splash. "I don't care who is behind you. In Land of Water, if you mess with me Hozuki Getsuga, you will die!"
At the same time, in the room on the top floor of Food Is Heaven.
Senju Chen is sipping tea leisurely and listening to Aying's report.
"Young Master Chen, as you expected, people from Hozuki Getsuga have quietly monitored our place like an iron barrel. Overtly and covertly, there are at least eight surveillance points." Aying's voice was as steady as ever.
"Oh? Eight o'clock?" Senju Chen put down the teacup and raised a playful smile, "It seems that he is quite interested in us Food Is Heaven."
He didn't feel nervous at all about being in danger, but instead seemed to be listening to an interesting anecdote.
"He couldn't find anything." Senju Chen said calmly, "Mizuno Chamber of Commerce's background is perfect. As for me, in their eyes, I am just a puppet who was pushed to the stage."
"Then let's..."
"The hunter has laid a dragnet, and of course the prey has to show something." Senju Chen stood up, walked to the window, and looked at Kirigakure Anbu who was disguised as a pedestrian on the street.
"Aying, ask people from Ryoma to spread a message."
"Please give your orders."
"Let's just say that there is a group of the Yuki Clan remnants. We are going to sneak these people out to sea quietly from the abandoned fishing port in the south of the city the night after tomorrow." Senju Chen's eyes flashed with calculation.
Aying was stunned for a moment. "Is this... fake news?"
"Of course it's false." Senju Chen smiled, "But for a hunter who is eager to regain his position and is blinded by anger, no matter how false the news is, he will take it as true."
He turned around and looked at Aying, his eyes became sharp. "According to Mizuno's understanding, Hozuki Getsuga is arrogant, conceited, and jealous. He must retaliate. Last time I used Kunai to restrain him in front of so many people, especially in front of his subordinates, he must not be able to swallow this breath and want to get it back with his own hands. Therefore, he will definitely lead the team in person this time."
"I understand." Aying nodded, "You want to lure him out."
"That's right." There was a hint of coldness in Senju Chen's smile, "It's annoying to be stared at by flies all the time. It's time... to let him know who he can mess with and who he can't mess with in his life."
"This time, you go alone." Senju Chen added.
Aying's body shook slightly, and a trace of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. "Yes!"
"It's time to test the results of the special training I gave you at my teacher's place." Senju Chen patted his shoulder, "Remember, don't kill him, leave him breathing, I'm still useful."
"My subordinate understands."
The figure of Aying blended into the shadows quietly.
Senju Chen sat back at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. The heat of the tea rose, blurring his face.
Hozuki Getsuga, do you think you are a hunter?
In fact, from the moment you dare to step into my store, your identity has been changed.
Late at night two days later.
The abandoned fishing port in the south of the city.
The sea surface was filled with an insoluble fog, and the visibility was less than five meters. The air was filled with the salty smell of sea water and the musty smell of rotting wood. Several dilapidated fishing boats were docked like ghosts beside the decaying trestle, gently swaying with the waves, making strange "squeaking" sounds.
"Captain, will anyone really come here? It feels like a ghost." A young Anbu member lowered his voice and looked around cautiously.
Hozuki Getsuga stood at the highest point of the trestle, the sea breeze blowing his black combat uniform, making a "hunting" sound.
"Shut up." He scolded coldly, "The intelligence says they will meet here, so keep your spirits up. Don't let a fly go!"
"Yes!"
A dozen Anbu members spread out quietly, lurking in every corner of the fishing port, blending into the darkness.
Hozuki Getsuga tightened his grip on Ninja Blade around his waist, his eyes under the grimace mask flashing with bloodthirsty excitement. He couldn't wait to catch those "fugitives", then follow the clues, pull the damn fat businessman out of his turtle shell, and execute him in front of everyone!
Time passed by minute by minute.
The fog became thicker and thicker, and the only sound left was the sound of waves crashing on the shore.
Just when everyone was getting impatient, a figure, like a ghost, quietly appeared at the end of the trestle.
Coming!
Hozuki Getsuga felt happy and was about to give the order, but his pupils suddenly shrank.
There was only one person coming.
Moreover, the figure and aura are different from the businessman who threatened him with a sneak attack last time!
"It's the guard who often follows the boss in that store!" A member of Special Assassination and Tactical Squad recognized the person.
Aying stood there quietly, as if he had been waiting for a long time. He looked at Hozuki Getsuga and said in a calm tone, "Captain Gui Deng, my boss said it's windy here, so let me take you home."
"Seeking death!"
Hozuki Getsuga instantly understood that he had been tricked!
The overwhelming anger instantly swallowed up his reason.
"Get him!"
