Chapter 368 - Meeting An Old Friend (2/2)
However, the j.a.panese government had a much looser grip on things in j.a.pan and mega-corporations had taken up that power vacuum and dominated the land. In order to remain in power, they needed help from Martial artists, thus forging an alliance between the two. Grandmasters also had a much higher social status in j.a.pan than in China.
When Violent finally finished reading the names of the visitors, Chen Fan realized that most of them were here because of the Vitality Serum.
After Violet finished reading the list of j.a.panese guests, she went on to the Chinese guests. Suddenly, Chen Fan heard a familiar name.
“Wait, did you say Qi Dongsheng?”
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and mulled over the name. Wasn’t that Qi w.a.n.gsun’s father? Why was he in j.a.pan wanting to see me?
“Yes, Qi Dongsheng. Owner of the Dong Sheng Group at the Northern Sea Bay. He is a friend of Lin Tai, founder of the largest Chinese Martial arts Dojo in j.a.pan. The message was sent by Lin Tai as well on behalf of Qi Dongsheng.”
“I know of him. He is a Chinese Grandmaster who lived in Tokyo. I heard he is related to the Lin family of Southeastern China. Technically, he is the uncle of Lin Tatian who you have killed.” Red Sparrow said slowly.
Chen Fan was not surprised at all that the Special Case Department knew qbout his murder of Lin Tatian. The Special Case Departments were in the business of knowing things.
“Master, are you going to meet them?” Violet asked softly.
“I will be fine.”
Chen Fan shook his head and then sighed.
Chen Fan didn’t know why Qi Dongsheng wanted to see him and neither did he care. He is a friend of his son, not Qi Dongsheng himself. He had helped the Qi family only because of Qi w.a.n.gsun.
“We will have to leave Tokyo soon before more visitors come after me.” Chen Fan heaved a sigh and said.
Red Sparrow nodded.
Chen Fan was the most popular man in j.a.pan right now and countless martial artists from all over the world flocked to j.a.pan in order to meet the most powerful man in East Asia. As long as Chen Fan still carried this t.i.tle, he was a walking beacon in the night that attracts everyone’s attention.
“Violet, get the tickets ready, we will head back to Kyushu right away. I will stop by Kyushu Shrine on the way. After that, we will have to act quickly. Hopefully, I can get rid of one or two more Shrines before the j.a.panese government notices.” Chen Fan rose to his feet and started off.
“As you wish.” Violet paused a second and then replied.
Red Sparrow gazed at the back of Violet and thought of saying something to her, but then she thought better of it.
Red Sparrow and Chen Fan took a train to Kyushu instead of a plane in order to avoid the stringent checkpoints at the airport. They traveled with fake doc.u.ments. Violet had left a bit earlier than them on a different train but to the same destination.
It was close to the new year and most j.a.panese people were staying home with their families. As a result, the train was nearly empty and only tourists from China and Korea filled the spots here and there.
“Excuse me.”
A familiar voice wrenched Chen Fan’s mind out of his meditation. He then saw Ai Jinqi standing next to him, dragging a suitcase behind.
Ai Jinqi’s face lit up with glee as soon as she saw Chen Fan.
“We meet again?”
“Yea, I am on my way to Kyushu. Are you taking your flight from f.u.kuoka back home?”
She asked Chen Fan, but her eyes wandered to Red Sparrow. Every time she met Chen Fan, he was always accompanied by a gorgeous face. Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa, Violet and now it was Red Sparrow. Ai Jinqi felt a bitterness rise inside of her.
Ren Hao looked at Chen Fan with complicated emotions flickering in his eyes.
He had thought Chen Fan was just another Chinese tourist, but he turned out to be a mighty figure, so much so that even Mitsui Yuto had to wait patiently for him at the bottom of the Tokyo Tower.
Right after they left the Tokyo Tower as instructed by Chen Fan, they heard a loud crash and saw a section of the tower fall down. Ren Hao had suspected that it had something to do with Chen Fan, but he would have never guessed the tower collapsed because of Chen Fan and Takemiya Hiro’s battle.
“Thank you for your warning the other day. Did you know that the Tokyo Tower collapsed on that day? I heard it was aliens.” Ai Jinqi sat beside Chen Fan and already started prattling.
“Aliens?”
Red Sparrow chortled.
She looked at Chen Fan as if he was a sly trickster.
Chen Fan let out a wry smile. Soon the train was on its way, many people came over to Ai Jinqia to say hi to her.
It was evident that the social b.u.t.terfly had made a lot of friends.
Chen Fan soon learned that some of the Chinese tourists were traveling in a group. They were all from Zhong Hai and were on their way to Kyushu and then heading back home.
Many of the tourists gave Chen Fan a curious look and some even asked Ai Jinqi if Chen Fan was her boyfriend, to which Ai Jinqi replied with a silent blush.
The train quickly arrived at the s.h.i.+koku area. Suddenly, Chen Fan’s face became taut as he registered something was amiss. Then the lights on the train went out as if the train had taken them through the gate of h.e.l.l.
A jarring and sharp voice came up in everyone’s mind.
“Chen Beixuan, come out and die!”
