Chapter 582: Scheming Each Other

The words spoken by Yao Qinglong was reasonable and Yang Le approved them as well. However, he was crystal clear that Yao Qinglong would only bring about his own decimation if he wanted to take revenge on Tang Xiu. Prior to this, he used to have a similar feeling of affection to him as someone from the same root. But after the death of their Master, Yao Qinglong had treated him by hook or by crook and even wanted his life, before he eventually escaped him, causing all the friendship and affection to dry up.
“Did you forget what I told you before, Qinglong? We are no longer martial brothers. You can do what you want as you have the freedom to do so, but that will have no relationship with me whatsoever. If you have nothing else to say, then I will take my leave.” Then he stood up from the chair, ready to leave.
Curling up his mouth, Yao Qinglong said, “You know, Junior Brother, it seems like the fortune our Master sent to you before his death is more than I imagined. Even 100 million is not enough to move you.”
With a drastic change in expression, Yang Le angrily said, “All the things left behind by Master were acquired by myself—my own abilities. You don’t need to concern yourself with your trifling skills.”
The expression on Yao Qinglong’s face changed into that of indifference as he replied lightly, “That Old Geezer calculated that we could never obtain them, so he left that kind of training to you, huh? Hmph… He’s dead already, and his things must be equally divided. Of course, I’ll never mention it again if you help me snatch the Magnificent Tang Corporation’s products’ formulas this time. I will even give some compensation to Second and Third Brothers so as to make them give up. How about it?”
“Keep dreaming!” Yang Le scornfully rebuked loudly. “I, Yang Le, may be afraid of anything else, but not threats. I used to see us as martial bothers before; I even let go of the matter of you trying to kill me. But don’t blame me for being ruthless and forget the past friendship if you dare to strike at me again!”
Yao Qinglong couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “What the hell are you talking about, Junior Brother? How could I, your Senior Brother, scheme to murder you?! I won’t force you to do something if you really don’t want to. Anyhow, you can go deal with your things! When the Second and Third arrive, we’ll straightly head to Bluestar Villa to have a drink with you.”
While clenching his fists, killing intent flashed out of Yang Le’s eyes. Since Yao Qinglong knew where he lived, it meant that they had investigated him. It was clearly a threat. They were highly likely to point their blades at him if he didn’t help them.
“Look at your face, Junior Brother. You seem like you don’t welcome us, hmm?” Yao Qinglong smilingly said. “I think you should sit still and continue chatting with me if you don’t want us to do so. Maybe you’ll change your mind after a while!”
“I will never change my mind—not a chance!” Yang Le said coldly. “Of course, visit me if you want, and I’ll welcome you warmly. I only wish that you won’t die.”
Having said that, he turned around and walked outside the café, as Yao Qinglong’s smiling face froze.
Bam…
Yao Qinglong slapped the table as he watched Yang Le’s back disappear. Killing intent surged inside him. Brat, you have no idea of death or danger, eh? Then I’ll make you suffer, and we’ll see whether you can continue to persist in the face of death.

Japan, on the summit of Fujiyama.
Kuwako Yamamoto was sitting cross-legged under a cherry tree while embracing a katana. She was wearing a black exercise suit and let the drizzle wet her hair.
Whoosh…
A ghostly figure silently appeared in front of her and then knelt on her knee. The figure was a woman with white hair in front of her forehead, as she reported respectfully, “Young Lady, the item has been obtained and is on the way here. It will be delivered tomorrow morning at the latest.”
Kuwako suddenly opened her eyes with a pleasantly surprised look in her eyes, as she then replied in satisfaction, “They did a good job. That item doesn’t have much use for me, but for… all right, tell them to not leave any trace.”
“Understood!”
The woman in ninja attire replied. Her body swayed and disappeared from the spot.
A smile finally appeared on Kuwako’s face as she spoke, “Hanako, help me reserve a flight ticket to China, Shanghai. Also, inform my father that I’m going to China to continue negotiating the cooperation issues with the Magnificent Tang Corporation.”
“Affirmative!” A voice came from behind the tree, as calmness followed shortly after.

Shanghai, Bluestar Villa Complex.
When Yang Le returned, he found that he was being tailed. He didn’t head straight to Tang Xiu’s place but returned to Villa #11. He then walked to his bedroom’s window and observed the situation outside before taking out his mobile to call Tang Xiu.
“Are you back already?” Tang Xiu’s voice was heard from the mobile phone.
“Tang Xiu, I need your help,” said Yang Le.
