Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Ooka Momiji put her hand on her chin and looked at Watanabe Toru opposite her.

"So you want to attend the public presentation on the Ooka Group's biological experiments tomorrow?"

"Yes." Watanabe Toru nodded. "I'm very interested in this lecture. But I don't have an invitation or a pass, so the staff probably won't let me in."

Ooka Hongye understood what Watanabe Toru meant, chuckled, turned to Iori Muga and said, "Iori, take him in tomorrow."

"Yes, Miss." Iori Muga responded.

After knowing that Watanabe Toru had saved his young lady, he put aside his suspicion of Watanabe Toru: "The report will be held at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon, sir, you..."

"My name is Toru Marui, and I'm temporarily staying at the Kyoto Hotel." Toru Watanabe introduced himself using a false name.

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

"Excuse me, Mr. Iori."

The three of them exchanged contact information, and Ooka Momiji invited Watanabe Toru, "Mr. Marui, let's have dinner together tonight. I haven't thanked you properly for what happened in Tokyo yet. Now that you're in Kyoto, please give me this opportunity."

Watanabe Toru calculated the remaining duration of the APTX-4869 antidote and found it was still plenty of time, so he agreed: "Then I'll bother you, Ms. Ooka."

next day

At 12:30 noon, Iori Wuga drove to the hotel.

On the way to the destination, Iori Muga asked: "Mr. Marui, have you eaten yet? It's still early. If Mr. Marui hasn't eaten yet, I can take you to eat first."

"No, I've already had lunch." Watanabe Toru shook his head.

"Then we'll just go straight over there."

"it is good."

Silence fell in the car.

After a while, Iori Muga said again: "Thank you Mr. Marui for your help in Tokyo. It was my fault that I failed to protect the young lady that day. If anything happened to the young lady, I would never forgive myself in this life."

Watanabe Toru was somewhat interested in the fact that Ooka Momiji was almost kidnapped, and asked, "Have you found out who is behind this?"

"No." Iori Muga said regretfully, "The other party is hiding very secretly. Even if the Ooka Group uses all the means it can, it still can't find any valuable clues."

Watanabe Toru was a little surprised.

It is absolutely unbelievable that with the strength of the Ooka Group, they were unable to find the murderer who kidnapped Ooka Momiji.

He asked tentatively, "Ms. Ooka was kidnapped during a banquet hosted by the Suzuki Group. Could this incident be related to the Suzuki Group?"

Iori Muga was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "The Suzuki Group and the Ooka Group have always been close partners. How could this be done by the Suzuki Group?"

So what were you hesitating about just now? I'm afraid the Ooka Group has already secretly investigated the Suzuki Group.

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "That's right. Doing so will not benefit the Suzuki Group either."

"haha, yes…"

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a building.

"This is it," Iori Mugai said to Watanabe Toru, "This building belongs to the Ooka Group. Usually, the head office announces important information or holds banquets here."

PS: Dear readers, please give me some free flowers and collections. I wish you good fortune.

057: Kidnapping

With Iori Muga, the "business card of the Ooka Group", Watanabe Toru entered the building smoothly.

There were still twenty minutes before the lecture started. Iori Muga had no intention of staying here and said goodbye to Watanabe Toru.

"Mr. Marui, the young lady still needs me, so I'll take my leave now. Please call me after the lecture and I'll come pick you up."

Watanabe Toru declined politely, "Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Iori, but I can go back by myself. Please thank Ms. Ooka for me."

Iori Muga shrugged. "The young lady will definitely contact you after finishing her karuta practice today. If Mr. Marui leaves on his own, the young lady and I will come to the hotel to find you."

This means that I have to accept this kindness no matter what.

Watanabe Toru had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then please, Mr. Iori, come pick me up later."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Marui's call."

After Iori Muga left, Watanabe Toru found a corner seat and sat down.

At the entrance to the conference hall, people began to arrive: entrepreneurs in suits and ties, researchers in white coats, and some on-site staff. Watanabe Toru scanned each face, searching for Takasugi Toshihiko in the crowd.

Luckily, he found it.

Takasugi Toshihiko, dressed in formal attire, looked a little shy. He was talking to an entrepreneur standing next to him, smiling and nodding from time to time, as if a junior was receiving instruction from a senior.

A man in a black suit stood behind Takasugi Toshihiko. He looked like a secretary or assistant, but the indifference and vigilance in his eyes revealed his identity.

It seems that this man must be someone sent by the organization. Watanabe Toru thought to himself, he looks unfamiliar, most likely a peripheral member.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the conference hall, and the invited guests who had already sat down stood up and went to the door.

The real owner has arrived?

Watanabe Toru followed his gaze. A middle-aged man in his forties entered the conference hall, flanked by a group of people. He held an imposing presence, his awe-inspiring presence radiating a certain authority. Standing next to him was a man in his sixties, thin and slender, wearing a white lab coat. His eyes shone with wisdom. Remarkably, his face bore no visible signs of aging. He smiled and nodded in response to the guests' greetings.

These two people should be Ooka Momiji's father, Ooka Takuma, the chairman of the Ooka Group, and Professor Nagashima Sakae, the chief scientist of the Ooka Group's biological laboratory.

Watanabe Toru withdrew his gaze from the two people and shifted it to the man in black behind Takasugi Toshihiko.

Sure enough, his eyes were fixed on Nagashima Ei.

The protagonist is on the scene and the report meeting officially begins.

After a few words of welcome speech, Takuma Ooka, chairman of the Ooka Group, gave the stage to today's protagonist, Sakae Nagashima.

Watanabe listened for a moment. It turned out that Experiment X was a new drug that could halt the effects of toxins on the body, though the damage already done was irreversible. The experiment was already in its mid-stage stages, and if successful, it could lead to breakthroughs not only in medicine but also in other fields.

However, the funds required for the experiment are too huge, and even a dominant group like Ooka Group is somewhat unable to afford it. This is why this public report meeting on the experiment was held with the aim of attracting some companies to invest and share the R&D costs.

Toru Watanabe was not interested in the progress of the experiment. Just when he was drowsy, the man in black sitting next to Takasugi Toshihiko suddenly stood up.

The sleepiness was immediately swept away.

Watching the man in black walk out of the lecture hall, Toru Watanabe followed him without hesitation.

Occasionally, staff members passed by in the corridor outside. Watanabe Toru followed the man in black about ten meters away, watching him turn a corner and go up the stairs.

There was a lounge upstairs. Watanabe Toru couldn't figure out what the man in black was doing there. After a moment of hesitation, he chose to continue following him.

There was a name tag on the door of each lounge with a name written on it. The man in black stopped in front of a room, looked around vigilantly, took out a steel wire from his pocket, fiddled with it in the keyhole for a while, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Only after the door was closed did Watanabe Toru come out from the darkness. He walked to the room where the man in black had pried the lock and entered. He looked at the name "Nagashima Ei" on the nameplate, seeming to be lost in thought.

Did the men in black go in to steal information?

No, since we are going to kidnap Professor Nagashima Ei, there is no point in stealing the information.

Unable to determine the purpose of the man in black, Watanabe Toru did not dare to leave just like that. He hid back in the dark and stared at Nagashima Sakae's lounge.

Ten minutes later, there was a noise from downstairs, and the first half of the lecture was over...

058. The Organization's Conspiracy

"Professor, have a good rest." Ooka Takuma personally escorted Nagashima Sakae to the lounge door, a smile on his face: "I'll have to work hard on you later."

Nagashima Ei smiled helplessly, "I'm old, and I get tired standing for a while. Chairman, please send me here. Those presidents and directors who came from afar are waiting for you."

The company representatives around them all chuckled.

Ooka Takuma nodded and said, "I'll send someone to notify you when the time comes. You should have a good rest."

"it is good."

After Nagashima Sakae entered the room, Ooka Takuma returned downstairs with a group of representatives. Although it was break time and the Ooka Group had prepared a lounge for the representatives, it was clear that no one was willing to give up this rare opportunity to interact with Ooka Takuma.

Toru Watanabe walked out from the dark, looked in the direction of the lounge, and sighed softly. He was afraid that the old professor would be controlled by the members of the organization who were lying in ambush inside as soon as he entered.

He finally understood the organization's kidnapping plan.

First, they let the members enter the building as Takasugi Toshihiko's secretary or assistant. Then, when the report was halfway through, they picked the lock and sneaked into Nagashima Sakae's lounge. After the first half was over and Nagashima Sakae returned to the lounge to rest, they kidnapped and controlled him.

As for how to get Nagashima Ei out of the building, Watanabe Toru guessed that the organization member would most likely create chaos, which was the easiest and safest way.

ten minutes later.

The door of the lounge opened and a member of the organization came out pulling a suitcase. After looking around vigilantly, he walked towards the elevator.

The moment the elevator door closed, Toru Watanabe appeared at the elevator entrance. Seeing the elevator moving downwards, he quickly went down the stairs.

boom--

The building suddenly shook twice.

explode?

Watanabe Toru was shocked, but he did not stop.

Did that guy intend to use the bomb to create chaos and then take the opportunity to leave?

……

On the first floor, in a corner.

Yamazaki Tsuruta looked at the people fleeing the building in panic, with a cold smile on his face.

He picked up his suitcase and prepared to leave.

He drugged the target with ethanol and put him inside. As long as he brought him back, his mission would be accomplished.

"Sir, there was an explosion of unknown cause in the building. Please leave here quickly."

A hoarse voice suddenly came from behind. Yamazaki Tsuruta's expression froze and he turned around with tense nerves.

The person who was talking to him was a kind-looking older boy, dressed in a neat black suit, with a very young face and a few freckles on his cheeks.

Yamazaki Tsuruta breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, this explosion was too sudden. We need to leave quickly."

"Do you need help?" Toru Watanabe pointed at the suitcase.

"No, no thanks. I can do it myself."

"Please don't be polite to me." Watanabe Toru reached out to take the box.

Yamazaki Tsuruta placed himself in front of the suitcase and said, "Thank you, sir. However, the things in the suitcase are very important to me. I would rather keep them myself, so please don't bother me."

"It's a very important thing." Watanabe Toru said in a flat tone, showing a standard toothy smile, which was very incongruous. Then, the smile disappeared in a second, and his cold face returned to normal: "Is there a living thing in the box?"

"you……"

Shock flashed in Yamazaki Tsuruta's eyes. He lowered his eyes and said in a calm tone, "Sir, you're joking. Who would put a pet in a suitcase?"

At this critical juncture, he didn't want to create any complications, so as to avoid any accidents that would waste his time.

Watanabe Toru looked at him silently, too lazy to continue acting, and swung a punch, hitting Yamazaki Tsuruta in the face.

Yamazaki Tsuruta's face changed slightly, and he instinctively dodged to the side, but the fist still touched his cheek, scraping like a knife, bringing a burning pain.

"court death."

At this point, how could Yamazaki Tsuruta not understand that Watanabe Toru was coming for him? He pushed hard with his feet and clenched his fists as he jumped out.

The other party is a member of the organization, so Watanabe Toru dare not be careless at all.

He raised his leg sideways and kicked. If the kick hit, Yamazaki Tsuruta would probably fly to the side before he could even touch Watanabe Toru.

Yamazaki Tsuruta also realized this and had to change his center of gravity, shifting his movement trajectory to the left. The moment one foot landed, the other foot had already bent its knee and hit Watanabe Toru's lower back.

Watanabe Toru immediately raised his hands to defend himself and reduced the strength of his kick.

After a violent collision of arms and legs, Watanabe Toru quickly closed in, kneeing, elbowing... In just a short moment, countless attacks quickly hit Yamazaki Tsuruta in all directions.

059. What do you think of Mr. Marui?

Yamazaki Tsuruta groaned in pain. He didn't expect Watanabe Toru to be so fast. He was completely suppressed.

When he was forced to retreat, Watanabe Toru attacked places such as the inner knee joint and shin, which could cause disability. He was like an executioner who killed with one blow, forcing him to believe that the other party was coming to kill him or cripple him.

Yamazaki Tsuruta was sweating profusely, and looking at Watanabe Toru's always cold eyes, he finally felt fear in his heart.

boom!
