Lowering his voice with a slightly warning tone, Takagi Toneri clearly disliked this guy who always did things the wrong way.

If possible, Takagi Toneri would never want to have anything to do with this guy outside of "business".

“I don’t want to interfere in your affairs; I’m just afraid that your previous promise to make additional investments will fall through.”

"The surveillance data you sent me has indeed been tampered with, and the method of tampering was extremely covert and sophisticated..."

"Even I couldn't possibly reconstruct that surveillance data."

At this point, Masaki Keigo paused slightly before continuing.

"Also, when you asked me to investigate these guys' whereabouts, I made an unexpected discovery."

“That man is a member of the ‘Secret Experimentation Department’ of the Galvin Corporation. He must have some experimental products from that mysterious company.”

"If you treat him like an ordinary person, be careful not to make a fool of yourself."

He did not take Masaki Keigo's warning to heart.

Because Takagi Toneri knew from the very beginning that the man who suddenly appeared could not possibly be an ordinary person.

Otherwise, Saki wouldn't have obediently followed the other party away.

"I know what I'm doing, so you don't need to worry about it."

After immediately shutting down the encrypted communication channel with Masaki Keigo, Takagi Toneri turned his gaze to the hotel outside the window.

......................................................................................................

Meanwhile, inside a military base in Yokohama, Japan.

"Hmph, stubborn old man..."

After losing contact with Takagi Toneri, Masaki Keigo frowned slightly.

Although Takagi Toneri disliked Masaki Keigo very much, Masaki Keigo could not treat Takagi Toneri the same way.

Besides the relationship between their parents, Takagi Toneri was also a financial backer who consistently supported Masaki Keigo's studies and further education.

To put it bluntly, without Takagi Toneri's long-term support, Masaki Keigo would probably have had to apply for a job at some company after graduating from university.

When Masaki Keigo chose to start his own business, it was this old man who provided him with his first round of funding.

As for Takagi Toneri's complicated feelings for Masaki Keigo?

If any granddaughter were to be deceived by a foolish young man, she probably wouldn't have any feelings for him anymore.

"Masako, how much equipment did that stubborn old man bring this time?"

After a brief moment of thought, Masaki Keigo decisively connected to another communication channel and made contact with his secretary.

Based on Masaki Keigo's previous investigation, it can be basically confirmed that Takagi Toneri's current troubles are related to the Galvin Corporation.

Masaki Keigo knows this multinational giant, which has ventured into multiple fields including military and civilian applications, very well.

Besides various experimental high-tech technologies that are not available on the market or even in TPC.

One of the most outrageous practices of this company is allowing its employees to possess, to a certain extent, high-tech equipment that has not yet been made public.

After all, the concept of "weapons" in existing laws does not apply to high-tech products that have never been made public.

Putting aside everything else, Masaki Keigo himself possesses the ability to circumvent those normal "weapon" concepts.

Kinetic weapons with energy levels below two joules, light-powered flashlights capable of scorching steel plates, capsaicin spray extracted from ghost peppers, prosthetic limbs that function as exoskeletons, and even stimulants that drive normal organisms into a frenzy...

In this day and age, a high-tech company involved in multiple military and civilian fields has plenty of ways to circumvent the law, leaving law enforcement helpless.

Leaving aside the subsequent investigations, compromises, and legislation, it is at least flawless at the current stage.

"Boss, I was just about to report this to you..."

With a hint of anxiety on her face, the secretary named "Yako" spoke cautiously in a low voice.

"This time, the old man transferred three squads of 'new weaponry' from your private company, and also used his connections to borrow an unmanned remote-controlled base station from the Americas branch..."

Theoretically speaking, this is not something a secretary should be involved in.

However, the relationship between Masako and Masaki Keigo is clearly not as simple as it seems, which is why she reminded her boss in this way.

"Three squads of 'newly armed' weapons?"

"There's also an unmanned remote-controlled base station in the Americas?"

Staring wide-eyed in astonishment, Masaki Keigo's face was filled with shock.

"Is that old guy... planning to start a small-scale war?"

Leaving aside the consequences of exposing those "new weapons," the mere existence of an unmanned remote-controlled base station is enough to give Takagi Toneri a run for his money.

How long has it been since the Earth Defense Force disintegrated?

To put it bluntly, major TPC divisions and multinational corporations are still in an era of fierce competition and scramble for market share.

Every visionary and powerful organization is trying to take a bite out of the Earth Defense Force in order to gain a foothold in the new era.

Choosing to step forward at this time will not only affect the growth of one's own power, but may even invite a thunderous strike from TPC headquarters.

"That old guy shouldn't be senile yet, right?"

After pondering for a moment, Masaki Keigo, who was completely baffled, immediately gave the order.

"Masako, quickly sever all ties between me and that private company under my name, and then find a way to hide the production line of the 'new weaponry'."

"In addition, transfer the 'prototype' to Amami City..."

"Since the old man is willing to risk being attacked by TPC to take action, it can only mean that there must be some benefit in Amami City that would make him take such a risk."

"From now on, have someone keep a close watch on Amami City, and report to me immediately if any suspicious activity is discovered."

Chapter 59 Former Earth Defense Force

Amami City, the top floor of a hotel.

"Sure enough, it's here."

Looking down at the black convoy that was arriving one after another, they could see the view.

Lu Xuan knew without even thinking that it must be the same group of "Old Master Takagi" who had previously hired yakuza members.

To Lu Xuan's utter surprise, this group of people were incredibly audacious.

This area is, after all, part of Japanese territory. With such a large gathering of armed personnel, aren't they afraid of provoking a strong backlash from the local government?

Or perhaps the other side had already bribed the local government officials?

"What's coming?"

Da Gu, who had just finished feeding Gedi, looked at Lu Xuan with a puzzled expression and asked.

Behind Daigo, Onoda and Setsuna, who were forced to stay with the others, also cast puzzled glances at him.

Only Saki, as an alien visitor, seemed to sense something, and a slight helplessness and sorrow appeared on her face.

"look by youself."

Lu Xuan casually took off his glasses and handed them to Daigo, gesturing for him to look outside.

"What is this... damn it!"

Before he could finish speaking, Da Gu, who had just put on his glasses, suddenly widened his eyes.

The moment he put on the glasses, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, and dark grids seemed to reconstruct the world, overturning Daigo's original vision.

These glasses are not ordinary glasses; they are a byproduct of Lu Xuan's previous research and development of mobile terminals—three-dimensional imaging glasses.

In addition to using the highest quality optical lenses, the glasses can also calculate and simulate the environment and objects around the wearer through built-in scanning devices and software calculations.

Ignoring material barriers and the light and darkness of the surrounding environment...

When Daigo put on these glasses, he already had a near-X-ray vision of the entire world.

Therefore, Daigo could clearly see the occupants of the vehicles below, each one holding a gun and fully armed.

With just a quick glance, Daigo discovered that there were actually dozens of them.

"How can it be?"

Daigo gaped in disbelief, unable to believe what he was seeing.

In this era that advocates peace, in Japan, a country where shootings are rare.

It's unbelievable that so many thugs are openly armed and fully equipped with guns. No one would believe it if you told them.

Most importantly, those armed thugs were clearly not people who had just armed themselves.

Instead, they are dedicated combat personnel who have undergone militarized and paramilitary training.

"It seems that the so-called 'Old Master Takagi' is a bit more troublesome than I thought."

After the Earth Defense Force disintegrated, Lu Xuan seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to plan ahead and establish the current Gailvin Corporation.

But he never believed that he was the only one with this vision and ability.

Because on this planet, there are many more strategists and ambitious people with even greater vision than Lu Xuan.

Takagi Toneri was clearly one of them. He even used his power to poach some of the Earth Defense Force's combat personnel in advance and turn them into his own private army.

"Do you know these people?"

Having spent so much time with Lu Xuan, Da Gu immediately understood the meaning behind his words.

"I wouldn't say I know them, because these people belong to the Japanese branch of the former Earth Defense Force."

“My initial plan was to recruit them all and start a personal security company, but I didn’t expect someone to beat me to it.”

His nonchalant tone revealed astonishing methods and domineering power.

Lu Xuan spoke with the same ease as if he were talking about opening a general store.

"Earth Defense Force..."

Upon hearing Daigo and Lu Xuan's conversation, Onoda and Xue Na exchanged bewildered glances.

The two had indeed considered what kind of trouble Saki, this alien visitor, would cause.

To their utter surprise, the first wave of trouble came from the original Earth Defense Force.

These members, originally belonging to the Earth Defense Force, were combat personnel who underwent specialized military training. Their qualities and combat capabilities far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Meanwhile, Onoda, with his greater experience, had already grasped the deeper layers of the game.

The man in front of me, who claims to be the specially appointed external affairs manager of "Gailvin Company", is definitely not as simple as he appears.

As a result, even Daigo became mysterious in his eyes.

To gain the attention of someone of this caliber, this young man named "Daigo" must possess something not to be underestimated.

"Then what should we do now?"

Daigo panicked for once, even though he knew that Lu Xuan, this alien, definitely had ways to deal with it.

However, facing members of a formal organization like the former Earth Defense Force for the first time still put Daigo, an ordinary person living on Earth, under immense pressure.

This kind of pressure is different from the fear brought by aliens, giants, or monsters.

It is the natural fear that ordinary people have when facing institutions like the military and police.

"What else can be done?"

"We'll meet force with force and water with earth, we'll just deal with whatever comes our way!"

Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Lu Xuan always habitually judged Daigo by the standards of "future Tiga," forgetting that Daigo was just an ordinary person who had just started university.

The fact that Daigo can still communicate normally with Lu Xuan is a testament to his resilience after the previous two incidents.

"Do you remember how to use this?"

Lu Xuan pulled out a palm-sized mechanical device from somewhere, tossed it to Daigu, and then suddenly asked a question.

"High-fiber...nanomaterials...generator?"

He hurriedly took the device that looked very familiar and stammered out its name.
