Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison
Chapter 276 Killing me won't help
Only those who have walked in the darkness know just how dark the darkness truly is.
In his early years, in order to hone Chen Huo's skills, his master, the head of the Goddess Pavilion, sent him to carry out various dangerous missions around the world, where he witnessed many dark things that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
There are always some people who disregard the lives of others.
They treat other people's lives as disposable resources to amass wealth.
The Yamamoto family is notorious among them.
They've done every imaginable evil thing imaginable, from human trafficking and organ trafficking to extortion; they've been utterly inhuman.
On the surface, however, they appear to be refined and courteous.
Just like Yamamoto Juichiro in front of him, he was like a gentleman.
Putting all that aside, given the long-standing feud between the Japanese pirates and the Chinese nation, Chen Huo was unlikely to treat them kindly. The fact that he didn't kill him in public was a testament to his restraint.
Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Yamamoto Juichiro's eyes.
But it disappeared in an instant.
He shrugged and sighed softly.
"It's truly regrettable that Mr. Chen has such a strong prejudice against me. I was originally planning to trade with you for that Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower, but now it seems unnecessary."
After saying that, Yamamoto Juichiro turned and left.
Upon hearing this, Chen Huo's heart stirred, and he asked, "You have the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower?"
We've already obtained the Azure Cleansing Fruit and the Spiritual Dew Ganoderma. Now all we need is the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower. If we can get it, we can refine the Breakthrough Pill to help our master break through to the next realm and avoid the crisis.
Chen Huo desperately wanted it.
Gu Yingxue was somewhat surprised to hear this.
"You actually possess the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower? How is that possible!"
In order to find this medicinal herb, both the Goddess Pavilion and the government mobilized a lot of manpower and resources. The head of the Wu family also did his best to search for it in order to save his daughter, Wu Yushu.
Something that so many people haven't found.
How could he have that?
Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Juichiro stopped in his tracks, turned his head slightly, and chuckled softly:
"What's impossible about it? My ancestors bought it in your Dragon Country decades ago, and it's been kept in the family treasury for so many years without ever having a chance to be used."
Upon hearing this, a murderous aura suddenly erupted from Chen Huo.
What did you buy it for?
In that era, how could the Yamamoto family possibly have money to buy things?
It must have been stolen.
Yamamoto Juichiro sensed Chen Huo's murderous intent, but remained calm and said indifferently:
"I don't carry this with me, so killing me won't do me any good. If Mr. Chen is interested, you can contact me and we can talk."
After saying that, he continued walking.
"etc……"
Gu Yingxue was about to stop Yamamoto Ichiro when Chen Huo stopped her.
"Let him go."
Yamamoto Juichiro clearly came with a purpose, and the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower was merely a bargaining chip for him to manipulate. Analyzing it from this perspective, he may not actually possess the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower.
The Yamamoto family is notorious for its cunning.
Whether they actually possess the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower still needs further investigation to determine.
In reality, Chen Huo no longer holds any hope for Crimson Flame Sunflower.
Even if the Yamamoto family truly possessed this medicinal herb, they would undoubtedly impose conditions that Chen Huo could not meet, perhaps even involving betraying the country. Chen Huo would never agree to such a thing, nor would his master allow it.
This is their moral bottom line.
Gu Yingxue realized what was happening and snorted coldly:
"He's trying to manipulate you this way."
Chen Huo nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
Gu Yingxue looked at Zhu Yong and said coldly:
"The Zhu family is a respected ancient martial arts family in China, yet you've become a lackey of the Japanese pirates—it's utterly despicable! A piece of trash like you dares to dream of becoming my man? How laughable!"
"you……"
Zhu Yong was furious and about to reprimand her, but seeing the undisguised killing intent in Gu Yingxue's eyes, he swallowed his words and coldly snorted:
"There's plenty of time, let's wait and see."
After saying that, he turned and walked in the direction where Yamamoto Ichiro had left.
"What can you do besides spout threats? You're useless!"
Gu Yingxue scoffed and took Chen Huo's arm as they walked outside.
Zhu Yong watched the two figures leave, his eyes filled with resentment and malice.
Chen Huo picked up his phone and called Yu Ji, asking her to use all the resources of the Goddess Pavilion to investigate whether the Yamamoto family possessed the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower, and the reason why the Zhu family colluded with the Yamamoto family.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Huo had a headache.
That sorcerer hasn't made a move yet. Is he really going to go to a hotel with Gu Yingxue?
It's not that he wasn't attracted to Gu Yingxue.
But I'm really not in the mood right now.
Gu Yingxue had the same idea in her mind, but being a woman, she couldn't openly ask Chen Huo to go to a hotel. She could only look up at Chen Huo and ask in a low voice, "What do we do next?"
"After eating, it's time to go for a drink."
Chen Huo smiled slightly and decided to go to a bar to relax.
People tend to have sluggish reactions after drinking a lot of alcohol, and that sorcerer might take the opportunity to cast a venomous insect curse. If that doesn't work, then he'll have no choice but to go to a hotel with Gu Yingxue.
Going back to the villa is impossible.
If the sorcerer were to use such magic, it would harm Gong Jinghan and Yu Ji.
That will make him very flustered.
Gu Yingxue was slightly disappointed upon hearing this.
But since it would be nice to be alone with Chen Huo, he agreed. The two drove to a quiet bar where a singer performed, found a luxurious private room, ordered a lot of drinks, and told the waiter not to disturb them.
"Are we just going to sit here and drink like this?"
Just then, Yu Ji called.
After the call connected, Yu Ji's voice came through.
"The Zhu family and the Yamamoto family have secretly formed a marriage alliance."
"A marriage alliance?"
Chen Huo was taken aback.
He never expected that the Zhu family would actually form a marriage alliance with the Yamamoto family.
There are many ancient martial arts families in the Dragon Kingdom, is it really necessary?
"That's right."
Yu Ji responded affirmatively and explained the whole story.
It turns out that the Zhu family had gradually declined over the years and was afraid of being swallowed up after marrying into other ancient martial arts families. In addition, the interests of major industries in the country were being divided up by other ancient martial arts families, so they colluded with the Yamamoto family.
They wanted to leverage the power of the Yamamoto family to strengthen themselves.
This has been going on quietly all along.
However, it has now been exposed because the Yamamoto family seems to have developed a great interest in Chen Huo's Breakthrough Pill and needs the assistance of the Zhu family's influence in the Dragon Kingdom.
The Zhu family is secretly investigating Chen Huo's movements and learning about the situation at the Goddess Pavilion. As for whether the Yamamoto family actually possesses the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower, that remains uncertain.
Yamamoto Ichiro had just arrived in Jinzhou today, and his encounter with Chen Huo was purely coincidental.
However, Chen Huo felt that the claim that the Zhu family had formed a marriage alliance with the Yamamoto family in order to strengthen themselves was somewhat far-fetched. After all, both the Chinese government and the major ancient martial arts families were very wary of the Japanese pirates.
Moreover, colluding with Japanese pirates would make one look down upon.
There's no need to think about it that way.
Chen Huo raised this question.
Yu Ji replied, "I also think this statement is problematic, but this is all we have found so far. The truly convincing reason will require further investigation over time."
