Chapter 731 (1/2)

“Can you two not be all lovey-dovey in front of me?” Hattori Masao had a sether when the deal is done”

Hattori Mei said poutily, “Xia Lei is bullyingfun of hter’s conversation was fairly familial, and warm

Xia Lei went up to the second floor with the father-and-daughter pair, and cae study with several bookshelves full of books There was also a quiet place to sit alone and think in the study, and there was a futon in that spot The wall behind the futon held an ancient painting of a sa brave There was a japanese na — Hattori Hanzo

Under the painting was a ritual table with an incense burner and a sword stand on it The sword stand held a sheathed saht Xia Lei’s attention, however, was that painting

Hattori Hanzo was a legendary warrior of japan, and was honoured as a thief who robbed the rich to give to the poor He was held in high regard by the japanese people

‘Could the Hattori family be descendants of Hattori Hanzo? If that’s the case, then they really are an ancient noble clan,’ thought Xia Lei

“Xia Lei, I only told you because I see you as fa on the wall and said, “Hattori Hanzo is an ancestor of our family We, the Hattoris, still have the spirit of the samurai”

So they really were the descendants of Hattori Hanzo

“I’eable about japanese history, but I know that Hattori Hanzo was an incredible ninja warrior Does japan still have ninjas?” said Xia Lei

“China is also well known for its kung-fu Does -fu?” said Hattori Masao

Xia Lei smiled China’s chun There was also the techniques of the Tang Sect which were very real indeed, and eachclan was an embodiment of these techniques However, it was fairly uncertain if ninjas truly existed in japan Looking at Hattori Masao’s tone and his attitude, however, it seemed that japanese ninjas did still exist

‘Does this mean that there are ninjas in the Hattori family? I’d have to be rew more wary

They chatted a little more and three japanese people came to the study a few minutes later

One was a er, but looked at least 40 or 50 These three all wore spectacles, were thin, and, at first glance, looked like scientific researchers who neglected to exercise their bodies

Hattori Masao did the introductions for the three japanese men The eldest one was Kakuko Noke, and the others were Okayaineers from Mitsubishi+ Heavy Industries but Xia Lei already knew that these three were the Hattori family’s men Since Hattori Masao claimed that they were from Mitsubishi+ Heavy Industries, then they were — Xia Lei could not be bothered to uncover Hattori Masao’s lies

“Please hand me the item, Mr Xia” The eldest, Kakuko Noke, did not want to waste any tilanced at Hattori Masao

“Ah, I alht away” Hattori Masao walked to the desk and opened a drawer There was a German-made safe in the drawer He opened the safe, and took out a large bundle of drawings and infory?

Xia Lei eyeballed the bundle of drawings and infores, and weighed about five kilogray would be saved on the cos and papers?” said Xia Lei

“Tis and inforive to you But believe y There are autoy production lines in here, and even more advanced AI robotics This also includes the neural network technology you want”

Xia Lei frowned It was not going to be easy for his and inforinu Zaburou said, “Xia Lei, robots are already able to have relationshi+ps with humans in japan This is thanks to the success of our neural network technology, where it s and infor they”

Xia Lei’s gaze went to the safe in the drawer under the desk He immediately spotted a Toshi+ba SSD He could not see the data on the SSD with his X-ray vision, but he could guess as on that SSD

“You are right, Asaginu” Xia Lei said, “But how can there be no progray? There must be a hard drive in that safe that contains the related prograht? Hand it to e?”

Hattori Mei glanced at Hattori Masao

“Heh heh I alive it to you” Hattori Masao agreed readily, and took out the SSD fros and paper

Xia Lei gave his USB flash drive to Hattori Masao only then, and he walked to the computer on the desk to check as on the flash drive

Hattori Masao handed the drive to Kakuko Noke, and he used his own notebook coht and went to work

“Father, why did you give him that SSD?” Hattori Mei had pulled Hattori Masao to the back of a bookshelf She spoke quietly, “That SSD contains the fruit of the hard labour that V Science Corp had put in for the past few years The things on that drive represent the y in the world now”

Hattori Masao was caly which cannot be realised Most of it is hypotheses and theories Not ive it to him? He can’t walk out of here This place is the end for him It doesn’t ?”
