1178 Killing Enmity Is Better than Keeping It Alive (2/2)

General Fukuda furrowed his brows and said, ”What's special about this Joyous Palace Saintess that makes him so fascinated by her? That old bald ass who built the Joyous Palace has been indulging himself with women literally every day. But why didn't he touch her until now?”

The red-haired man slowly replied, ”Based on Kitagawa's report, that Joyous Palace's Master treats her like her daughter. But I feel that it's not a credible reason since that monk already has daughters, two of whom are very attractive and are born belles. Allegedly, this Palace Master also has some affairs with his own two daughters.”

Contempt flashed in General Fukuda's eyes as he said coldly, ”He even devours his own daughters? He's even worse than beasts. The whole of Japan turned stinky and dirty because of him, especially things related to men and women which turned so messsy now. But I'm certain the atmosphere in Japan will definitely change when that old bald asshole has been removed.”

”That's… probably not an easy task to accomplish, General.” The red-haired man wryly smiled. ”The present situation in the country is still in the status quo.”

”You can change and transform anything if you want to.” General Fukuda sneered. ”People will change as the environment dictates them to. They have to. If it's still useless, you can opt to use bloody means to suppress them, and I'm sure the Imperial family will agree with my method as well.”

The red-haired man didn't reply, but he thought inwardly that General Fukuda was dreaming in his wildest fantasy.

The country's condition and the habit of its people were elements that grew along with the growth of countless souls. Using bloody suppression to force transformation in the society would only be like curing the symptoms and would prove to fail to even touch the roots of the problem.

General Fukuda drew in a deep breath and said, ”Dispatch the first squad out! If you find any sign that Kitagawa betrayed the Gene Camp, report to me at once.”

”Understood!”

The red-haired man replied shortly and his figure quickly bolted away.

In the dimly lit nightclub, Mine Takeno quietly observed Tang Xiu with a calm expression. It was conventional wisdom that continuous victories started from knowing oneself and thy enemies. But in his case, at the present, he literally knew nothing about this young man before him. That was all the reason why he didn't dare act rashly despite being confident in his own strength.

Thus, he decided to wait for the arrival of his Big Boss before making the next plan. He knew what he had to do now was to stall this young man and make him wait here until his Big Boss arrived. No matter how arrogant and rampant this brat was, kowtowing and begging for mercy before his Boss would very likely be the only choice this brat would have at that time.

”Come again? Joyous Palace? What the hell is that?”

Intentionally pretending to know nothing, Tang Xiu shot a curious look at Mine Takeno and asked.

”You're not from the Joyous Palace?” asked Mine Kakeno with furrowed brows.

”Bah! I just arrived in Japan a couple of days ago, how do I know what shit this Joyous Palace is?” Tang Xiu rolled his eyes and coldly snorted. ”I just came over to Japan for vacation this time, mind you. I was gonna find my old buddies here and chat about the old days, yet little did I expect to run into this annoying shit luck here.”

Only now did Mine Takeno finally realize why this fella never spoke Japanese and always conversed in English. It turned out that he just came to Japan and didn't know Japanese at all.

”Who is your friend, Mister?”

The man recalled the prior report he received. It was said that this guy was calling someone over. Maybe that person was the one he called a friend.

”Don't bother.” Tang Xiu waved and replied with a downcast face, ”I got no idea what happened to this buddy of mine. He fooled around with me the other day but just disappeared all of a sudden and didn't answer my calls at all. There's nobody in his place, and not even any traces of his in every place he loves to hang around either. Ah, there were those two laymen working for him in another site of his, though. But let me tell you, they are a bunch of psychopaths. Killing is like your everyday meal to them, and it's guaranteed that they have done every kind of evil deed you can think of. Make me annoyed and I don't need to act myself, but you can expect to lose your life if I tell them about it.”

Mine Takeno secretly sneered in contempt and suppressed his killing intent inside to stall Tang Xiu and keep him here. Then, he said in a deep voice, ”How about we drop this matter off since this is a misunderstanding, Mister? The Japanese have the custom to hold a party and drink sake after a misunderstanding to completely close the curtain of the previous clash.”

Tang Xiu was stunned for a moment and said, ”We've killed so many of your men, yet you wanna drop it off and make peace with me? Are you even a man?”

Mine Takeno's lips twitched a few times. He desperately went all out to restrain himself since his killing intent blasted through the roof. He would have attacked Tang Xiu already had he not been wary of the young man's identity and was in the dark about him.

”It's better killing off an enmity rather than keeping it alive.”

After spending some time to suppress the urge, Mine Takeno finally blurted out with a flushed face.
