From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 297 Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain, Target Adam

Peninsula Hotel.

Adam was escorted back by the ravens and the yaksha, and upon entering, he bumped into Caesar and Chu Zihang.

"You were sent back too?" Caesar was sitting on the sofa, smoking a Cohiba cigar and exhaling smoke. "It seems the Japanese branch has some things they don't want us to know."

"also?"

Adam looked at the two of them strangely.

"When I was buying cosmetics in Ginza, people from the Snake Clan suddenly appeared," Chu Zihang said calmly. "Those two were very aggressive, saying that the Demon Clan was about to launch a full-scale war, and for our safety, they sent me back to the Peninsula Hotel ahead of time."

“My situation is similar to his.”

Caesar raised his hand to brush aside his bangs, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said thoughtfully, "But I feel that things are definitely not as simple as they say. What do you two think?"

"Nine parts truth, one part falsehood; they've hidden the most important information."

Chu Zihang frowned and analyzed, "The Ghost Gang's attack is probably true, but they would never do it like this, putting us all under house arrest at the Peninsula Hotel."

"I do know something about the Ghost Clan."

Adam adjusted his glasses and recounted his encounter with the 'King General' in detail.

"Hiss, less than a day, and you've already hooked up with the head of the Uesugi family of the Snake-Headed Eight Clans?" Caesar's pupils dilated, then he looked Adam up and down, surprised, "Impressive, I didn't know you had this ability. Do you have any other secrets?"

You've probably misunderstood something.

Adam's eye twitched, and he sighed helplessly: "That's all. Erii and I just bumped into each other by chance."

“Tokyo Bay is very close to the area where the Lenin, which we are investigating, sank.” Chu Zihang looked at Caesar and asked, “I suspect it’s related to the Japanese branch’s operations; they’re probably deliberately hiding some secret. You’re the team leader, what should we do now?”

"Since the Snake Clan is deliberately keeping information from us, it proves that they don't want to break off relations yet."

Caesar slowly puffed on his cigar, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The current situation is not something we can decide. Report the situation here to Norma."

"I'm sorry, your idea probably won't work."

Adam, sitting in front of the computer, looked at the error screen after operating it and said with a shrug, "The Snake Clan must have blocked the Japanese region, so we can't contact Norma."

"So, we can only rely on ourselves now?" Chu Zihang said, "We are in Japan, and we are under the surveillance of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. If we rashly intervene in this matter, it may provoke their hostility, and things may become very troublesome."

Just as the three were worrying about this, the room suddenly went dark.

"Even five-star hotels experience power outages?"

Adam was a little surprised. He went over and restarted the switch, but found that there was still no response.

"Was it done by the Snake Clan?" Chu Zihang asked suspiciously.

"Wait, something's not right!" Caesar frowned, his expression changing slightly, and he put a finger to his lips: "Shh, don't speak!"

The 'Word of Power: Kamaitachi' was quietly released, and within the large domain it created, sound waves acted like radar, displaying all the information they detected in the mind.

The corridor outside the presidential suite was also plunged into darkness by a power outage. All the guards sent by the Snake Clan to watch over them were now lying in pools of blood, breathing weakly, their fate uncertain.

"The guards outside have all been killed!"

Caesar was startled and told the truth: "Someone attacked the hotel, and their target is us!" "The Ghost Clan? No, their target is Adam!" Chu Zihang's expression changed slightly, and then he seemed to realize something and suddenly turned around to look.

But then, in the dark room, a figure suddenly appeared besides the three of them. Like a ghost, it stood straight behind Adam, without any aura. If one did not see it with the naked eye, they would probably think it was an illusion!
The opponent is too close to Adam; if he uses Word of Power, it's hard to guarantee that he won't accidentally hurt his teammates.

"Caesar, southwest, quick!" In less than a second, Chu Zihang made a quick judgment, calling for Caesar's support while leaping over the sofa.

Although he didn't know what had happened, Caesar trusted Chu Zihang and didn't hesitate to draw his Desert Eagle and pull the trigger in that direction.

Bang bang bang!
The scorching flames from the gun barrel briefly illuminated the room.

By the light of the fire, Chu Zihang finally saw clearly the 'ghostly figure' standing behind Adam like a phantom in the darkness. It wore a pale mask on its face, with a creepy smile on its face, and its ferocious iron teeth protruded from its mouth, exuding a bloody and violent aura.

Just then, Caesar finally saw the guy who had barged into the room, and his eyes narrowed: "This is impossible, my Kamaitachi didn't find anyone!"

In theory, it should be able to 'hear' any creature within its range.

But there was such a large 'living person' in the room, yet he didn't sense it at all, which was clearly something was wrong.

But then, something even more unbelievable happened: the three bullets fired by the Desert Eagle went straight through the man's body and hit the wall behind him.

"Chu Zihang, be careful, something's wrong with this guy!" Caesar immediately warned.

Chu Zihang rushed forward and suddenly reached out to pull Adam back, but at that moment, the person wearing the pale mask suddenly took out a clapper and tapped it lightly.

Bang!
The ethereal and strange voice seemed to reach the depths of the soul.

Then, Caesar saw that Chu Zihang was motionless, as if the pause button had been pressed, still in the action of reaching out to grab, his whole body frozen in place.

"Oops!"

Caesar's expression changed drastically, and he quickly aimed the Desert Eagle.

Bang! Bang!
Two more rustling sounds of wooden clappers followed.

Just as Caesar was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly realized that his finger was stiff and he couldn't press it down. His heart sank. What kind of incantation was this?!

With just two clappers, they were able to control a mixed-race individual with two A-grade bloodlines.
However, the 'King General' who appeared like a ghost in the darkness seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and his tone was somewhat amused: "Hehe, controlling your words of power is not my power."

Controlled by an invisible force, Chu Zihang and Caesar suddenly noticed that Adam was staring at them expressionlessly.

His crimson-gold pupils were indifferent and cold, containing an inviolable and absolutely terrifying will, like a high and mighty god looking down on the countless tiny creatures in the mortal world.

"It is Adam"

Chu Zihang spoke with difficulty, hardly able to believe what he was seeing.

The clapper was used to control 'Adam', not to control them!

Chu Zihang understood in an instant: the other party had controlled Adam, and then Adam controlled them.

With just a glance, Adam was able to control two A-grade hybrids in Kassel. Just how terrifying is his bloodline?!
"You are... the leader of the Demon Clan, King General?!" Caesar stared at the mask, recalling the information Adam had just provided, and quickly guessed the reason: "You deliberately lured away the Snake Clan; your real target is Adam Angelweid!"

"good."

Wang Jiang's eyes were indifferent, and his voice was flat as he said, "My target has always been Adam Angelweid."
