Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"If you can successfully kill me now, you, Noryusuke, can salvage your reputation, and the Sakura Kingdom will surely accept you again, right? In that case, do you think we will believe your words?" Yu Feng's words were sharp, but not without reason.

There is no need to be merciful to enemies.

If you are kind to him

He might stab you in the back.

The slightest mistake could lead to total annihilation.

The accuracy of intelligence is often a matter of life and death.

If the intelligence was wrong, they could all perish in Japan.

Listening to Yu Feng's analysis, Zhang San couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

He hadn't expected Yu Feng to be so thorough in his considerations; in fact, he also harbored deep distrust towards Nora.

He simply couldn't think things through as thoroughly as Yu Feng.

"Looks like I underestimated this guy."

Zhang San once again looked at Yu Feng with new respect.

This seemingly casual Yu Feng is not only quite capable, but also very quick-witted.

"The most important thing between people is trust."

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do..." Norasuke didn't offer any further explanation.

What's there to argue about?

Everything Yu Feng said was true.

To be honest, he hadn't thought that much about it.

But at this moment, Norasuke had to admit that he had felt a fleeting flutter of attraction.

However, that was just a fleeting thought; Norasuke would never be foolish enough to repeat the same mistake. He had witnessed Lin Beichen's terrifying strength firsthand, and scheming against him would be no easy task.

The other party is well-versed in feng shui and metaphysics.

He was also quite skilled in divination, particularly in predicting good and bad fortune.

Trying to assassinate this person would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Norasuke doesn't even have a 30% chance of success, so how dare he act rashly?

You should know that he initially thought he had an 80% chance of winning against Lin Beichen, but after actually fighting him, he realized that he didn't even have a 10% chance of winning.

Everything was under Lin Beichen's control.

Facing such an opponent is truly despairing.

Rather than taking risks, it's better to work diligently under their guidance.

It was with this mindset that Norasuke took the initiative to offer suggestions to Lin Beichen. He wanted to use the intelligence he possessed to help Lin Beichen and his team complete their mission more quickly.

"I took the liberty."

Nora-suke dared not be negligent towards Lin Bei-chen in the slightest.

When Ryosuke Mino took the initiative to break the deadlock, Lin Beichen couldn't help but smile slightly.

From Norasuke's change of expression just now to now,

He roughly understood why Norasuke had said those words.

"Tell me, how much do you know about high-ranking figures like Honda Yoshi and Teppanyaki Taiga?"

Lin Beichen's words secretly pleased Nora.

Doesn't this indirectly show that Lin Beichen is willing to believe him?

His face lit up with undisguised joy, and he quickly replied:

"This is not the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to discuss this in detail."

"I know their intelligence perfectly well!"

What goes around comes around, and retribution is inevitable...

Those high-ranking officials in Japan probably never dreamed that they had already become someone else's target.

They used to send people to hunt down Lin Beichen, but now they have become Lin Beichen's target.

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.

Nothing more.

Those who kill will always be killed.

This is the retribution they deserved.

They never imagined that the one who betrayed them was the former number one assassin of Japan, Nora-suke—in their minds, Nora-suke had already been executed by the Chinese.

How could he possibly still be alive?
Lin Beichen gathered all the intelligence he could obtain.

The saying goes, "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them." Since we've chosen to trust Nora, we should trust him completely. Apart from Yu Feng, who was still secretly wondering, no one else expressed any doubt.

Zhang San did not trust Norasuke.

He trusted Lin Beichen's judgment.

Yu Feng was also affected by Lin Beichen's words.

Only then did he reluctantly accept Norōsuke.

"Then today's assassination target will be Tieban Dahe."

A cold glint flashed in Lin Beichen's eyes; he had already made up his mind.

……

"Now that Norasuke is dead, all our previous efforts have been in vain."

"With China hosting a global live stream this time, I doubt any assassins or mercenaries will dare to risk their lives in the future. Even if some people still take the risk for profit, they'll probably be low-class bastards."

"It seems that killing Lin Beichen and Yu Feng is no longer possible."

“How hateful!!”

Tieban Dahe was extremely dissatisfied with this.

He despises China.

They hated Lin Beichen and Yu Feng even more for causing trouble in Japan.

This severely damaged their family's interests.

At the same time, he also felt a vague unease, a strange sense of crisis lingering in his mind.

They were clearly in their own home.

Yet I always felt an inexplicable sense of danger.

The night wind still blows, and the leaves rustle.

He had experienced this scene far too many times; it was all too familiar to him.

Standing under the familiar cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, for some reason, Teppanyaki Taiga's unease grew stronger—his heart raced for no reason, fear gripped him, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"My mother asked me to call you to have your meal."

At this moment, a child came to the Iron Plate River.

This is his youngest son, and also his most beloved child.

"I'll go right away, you go ahead."

Tieban Dahe managed to force a smile.

He didn't want his beloved son to stay by his side.

He was certain that the sense of crisis was not unfounded.

There must be danger! It's just that I haven't realized it yet.

"Uh-huh!"

The child ran forward with cheerful steps.

But he hadn't run far when he suddenly cried out "Ouch!" and fell to the ground.

Then there was no further movement, like a lifeless rag doll. Seeing this, Tieban Dahe's heart tightened.

He instinctively strode forward.

The closer I get to the child, the more afraid I become.

As if confirming his suspicions—something terrible had happened.

"Who? Who is behind this? Get out here! Don't you understand the principle of not harming your family? If you have a problem, come at me. What kind of skill is it to lay a hand on my son!" he roared.

Anger completely consumed him.

The fear I had felt earlier vanished.

People often display extraordinary courage in order to protect those they care about.

Yes, he guessed correctly.

Just now, Norasuke had already ended the life of Teppanyaki Taiga's son with a throwing knife.

to him,

Killing a child is nothing.

In the eyes of professional killers, there is no difference between children and adults.

It was just an assassination target! Assassins must never act on emotion. He had killed countless women and children, let alone the son of Teppanyaki Taiga—that inexplicable excitement made Norasuke's lips curl into a smile.

Yu Feng, standing beside him, curled his lip in disapproval.

He said helplessly:

"You're laughing like a pervert, can you please tone it down?"

"At least he has reformed and is now a righteous person."

Yu Feng's words made Norasuke's expression freeze.

The smile froze on his face.

He then explained:

"These are just professional habits, cough cough... I'm not a pervert, you can rest assured about that." He almost exposed his true nature as a psychopathic killer.

Norasuke would never kill innocent children indiscriminately.

He only kills his mission targets and never harms innocent bystanders.

"Do you think I'd believe that? You're laughing so arrogantly."

There's an old saying: Mountains and rivers may change, but a person's nature is hard to alter...

Sometimes, no matter how Norasuke tries to disguise himself, he can't hide the bloodthirsty impulse in his bones. After all, he's been an assassin for so many years, how could he not be a psychologically twisted person?

Even though he adhered to his bottom line and code of conduct.

But this still cannot conceal his perverted nature.

Fortunately, Yu Feng only mentioned it casually. He secretly admired Nora's swift and decisive actions. Dealing with a child was not difficult for Yu Feng and was not a challenge.

But to do it so subtly and without leaving a trace is beyond his capabilities.

There are still many things about Norasuke that he can learn from.

Lin Beichen spoke to Yu Feng.

"Don't disturb him. Let's enjoy the performance of Japan's number one assassin." Lin Beichen waved to Yu Feng. This bloody feast was exclusively for Norasuke.

They shouldn't have gotten involved.

They only need to observe quietly.

After Norasuke wiped out the entire Teppanyaki family.

If he achieves this goal, it will be tantamount to surrendering.

Only then can Norasuke be considered one of our own in the truest sense.

The massacre continues.

……

However, it was not Tieban Dahe that perished first.

Rather, it was his family.

This confirms that Yu Feng's earlier statement was correct.

Norasuke is indeed a pervert, an extremely cruel pervert.

He didn't kill Tieban Dahe immediately, but let him gradually experience the taste of despair. Faced with the murderous demon, Tieban Dahe was powerless to resist.

The sounds of agonizing cries and wails kept echoing in my ears.

He didn't have time to check if his son could still be saved.

"Ah! Who are you? Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

His wife screamed from the direction of the hall.

Tieban Dahe felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He was almost going crazy.

He rushed towards the hall.

……

"No one will come to save you even if you scream your lungs out. Don't worry, madam. I'm a very professional assassin. I won't make you suffer too much. Please don't resist."

"The more you struggle, the more uncomfortable it becomes."

"I'll count to three, two, one, and then I'll send you away."

"one……"

A soft "pfft" sound rang out.

Norasuke had barely uttered a single word when he finished off the dignified noblewoman before him.

"Aaaaaah, you beast!!"

"Come at me if you have a problem, don't hurt my family! If you've got the guts, take it out on me alone! The grievances have their source, the debts have their debtors, just take my life! Don't touch my loved ones!"

Tieban Dahe was initially filled with fear, but after witnessing his son and wife die tragically one after another, that fear transformed into hysterical rage.

People are indeed afraid of death.

But some things are more terrifying than death.

Watching helplessly as the most important thing disappears before your eyes.

This feeling, this powerlessness, almost caused the Iron Plate River to collapse.

"Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me? Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon."

Norasuke's voice suddenly came from behind him. Teppanyaki Taiga trembled and turned around abruptly, but there was no one in sight.

The voice sounded familiar to him.

He couldn't remember exactly where he had heard it.

Perhaps because he was too nervous, he couldn't remember that it was Norasuke's voice—he had heard it before when they were exchanging money.

The killings didn't last long, but they weren't short either.

But why did no one stop this massacre during this time?

The main reason is that Lin Beichen set up a feng shui formation around the courtyard.

Under the influence of the feng shui formation, all movement within the courtyard was completely isolated.

So what Noraku said earlier, "shouting until you're hoarse won't help," is indeed true.

"What? You're saying the entire Tieban Dahe family died in their home?"

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible."

"How could Tieban Dahe die?"

The next day, news of the tragic deaths of the Teppanyaki family in their home quickly reached the ears of the high-ranking officials in Sakura Country.

Upon hearing this news, everyone was incredulous.

How could that be? How could Tieban Dahe die?

He was perfectly fine the day before.

"It may be hard for you to accept, but he did die last night. Here are some photos from the scene."

"Please take a look, everyone."

As the words fell, a stack of photos was placed on the conference table.

The moment they saw the photo, a chill ran down their spines.

The death of Tieban Dahe foreshadowed the crisis they were about to face.

"Was it done by assassins sent by China? Or was there some other reason?"

Honda asked in a serious tone.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the eerie "Three Musketeers" his beloved son had mentioned before.

When Honda Yoshihide told him about meeting three Chinese people, he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just Honda Yoshihide making things up.

But this incident reminded him of what Yoshihiro Honda had said. Perhaps it wasn't a coincidence; perhaps the crisis had already begun from that moment.

"Tieban Dahe is dead. What are your thoughts on this?"

Suppressing his fear, Honda asked the crowd a question.

After a long silence, Yamamoto finally stood up and said, "This is definitely an action targeting the high-ranking officials of our Sakura Country. I suggest that everyone pay attention to their own safety from now on, or it would be safer for us to all gather in one place."

"Strengthen security to prevent assassins from infiltrating."

“No, absolutely not.” He was immediately rebuked as soon as he finished speaking.

Gathering them all together would only give them the opportunity to be caught in one fell swoop. This is not a wise move. In fact, they are not a monolithic group to begin with, and it is impossible to keep everyone together. Therefore, this suggestion is meaningless.

"Fine, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Why are you yelling at me?"

"I can't believe it," Yamamoto said impatiently.

Now that Tieban Dahe is dead, he is the biggest beneficiary.

With the death of Teppanyaki Taiga, the Yamamoto family was able to develop rapidly.

It could be said that while Yamamoto felt fear, he was mostly secretly pleased.

He hid his joy very well.

If others knew his thoughts.

Ultimately, it wasn't quite right, considering that besides the Teppanyaki family, there was also the Hondakawa family. If Hondakawa were gone too, the Yamamoto family could truly rise to power. He secretly prayed that the unknown assassin would also take care of Hondakawa.

No one present could guess what Yamamoto was thinking.

Of course, Yamamoto was also aware that he might become an assassination target.

But compared to Honda, he felt his situation was relatively safe.

The opponent immediately attempted to assassinate Tieban Dahe.

Teppanyaki Taiga belongs to the same faction as Hondagawa.

So, the next target is more likely to be Hondagawa.

The meeting room quickly erupted into a commotion as everyone discussed their next move.

More than anything, they were worried about their own safety.

All they want to do now is get home quickly and strengthen security.

Seeing this, Honda was in a real bind.

How could he not be afraid and nervous?

But as a leader, one must maintain authority.

If his subordinates were to begin to doubt him, his position would be in grave danger. After all, Taiga Teppanyaki was dead, and he was one of Honda's biggest supporters. Now that Teppanyaki was gone, his family would inevitably be affected.

At this critical juncture.

Honda's prestige naturally suffered a significant blow.

This was evident from the fact that the people present no longer took his words seriously. (End of Chapter)
