Dragon Raja: Starting with Deadpool, Evolving Through Devouring

Page 66

The location of the target was a rather old-fashioned hourly hotel, and the front desk owner was an old woman over sixty years old.

"Auntie, what room is this guy in the photo in?"

"Huh?! What did you say?! Are you a sissy? Why are you speaking so softly!" The hard-of-hearing old woman spoke with an unusually loud voice.

"You old hag!" The crow behind him gritted its teeth and wanted to go up and argue with the person who had described the young master that way.

Fingel, quick-witted and agile, managed to grab the other person, though a smile was also hidden in his eyes.

Yuan Zhisheng wouldn't go so far as to harm the old man over such a trivial matter, but the "pfft" of suppressed laughter coming from his earphones made his forehead furrow into a "well" shape.

After quickly determining that he couldn't get any useful information from the old woman in front of him, Genji immediately made arrangements:

"Fingal, you come with me up to find someone. Raven, you stay down here and keep watch to see if anyone escapes."

He made this arrangement with a specific purpose.

Genji wasn't entirely clear on Fingel's exact abilities, but based on his brief performance, he seemed more like a technically skilled student. Therefore, having him by his side meant he could protect him should any unexpected situations arise.

Those who remained on the periphery faced greater risks, so they arranged for more trusted crows to stay.

According to the information, the target, Takeshi Kagawa, committed crimes through hypnotic incantations, and his bloodline rating should be around "B". There are no obvious signs that he has not learned combat.

After careful consideration, even if someone learns of the danger beforehand and tries to escape by jumping out of a window, the crow's fighting ability is sufficient to handle it.

The technological capabilities could only be deployed to this hourly hotel; since the exact room number couldn't be determined from the elderly woman at the front desk, the old method had to be resorted to—

Investigate layer by layer!

Fortunately, the hotel only has three floors, and the investigation will inevitably alert other people...

Both Yuan Zhisheng and the crow scoffed at this.

Who are the members of the Snake Clan?

The Japanese branch's style of carrying out missions is a complete continuation of the Japanese Yakuza's style of doing things!

However, while they were focused solely on their target, Takeshi Kagawa, they were unaware that during their investigation, they had disturbed a seemingly honest and ordinary middle-aged man who, after cursing and slamming the door shut, had a glint of cunning in his eyes.

After the commotion subsided, he took out his phone and made a mysterious call:

"Your Majesty, other mixed-race forces have come knocking on our door. It seems their target is that guy, Takeshi Kagawa."

"Takeshi Kagawa's abilities are crucial to the upcoming plan; we cannot afford to fail!" A dignified voice came through the microphone.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

The plan is very important and cannot be lost = people cannot fall into the hands of others.

After hanging up the phone call, the person immediately used the hotel's landline to call a room on the third floor.

The old, malfunctioning telephone crackled to life, and a man's impatient voice came through the other end: "You should know what I'm doing right now. Calling at this hour is just bothering me..."

"Shut up, you idiot! There are two hybrids searching for you in every room. If you don't want to die, use your Word of Power to control the ordinary people on the second and third floors to buy time."

Then you jump out of the window, and I'll be downstairs to meet you.

"Hi! Hi! Hi!"

Upon hearing that it concerned his life and fortune, Takeshi Kagawa instantly sobered up as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water. He no longer cared about the young girl lying unconscious on the bed, and his golden eyes lit up in an instant.

The Word of Power, Puppet, which allows one to mentally manipulate others within a certain range, is quietly activated.

The area-of-effect (AOE) attack also included Genjiro and Fingel. The two experienced individuals' expressions changed drastically as they realized that their actions had alerted the enemy.

Before they could make their next move, the doors of the occupied second-floor rooms opened simultaneously from the inside out, and the residents, looking dazed and moving sluggishly, surrounded the two men.

"Crow, be careful, there's a high chance the target will choose to escape by jumping out of the window."

"clear."

To be fair, Genjiro's judgment was quite accurate; less than a minute had passed since he finished speaking.

A tall, slender figure leaped from one of the windows on the third floor.

"not good!"

The crow, who had been waiting patiently for the rabbit to run into the tree stump, suddenly stopped in his tracks. In his eyes, Takeshi Kagawa's figure seemed to have been erased from thin air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Young Master, the target, Takeshi Kagawa, has disappeared!"

"what?!"

Where did they go?

Sensing Fingel's slightly suspicious gaze, Genjiro trusted the crow completely.

After Takeshi Kagawa left, the ordinary people he controlled collapsed to the ground, and Fingel and Genji quickly reunited with the crows.

Faced with the gazes directed at him, the crow's expression was equally unpleasant, but he still recounted in detail what he had witnessed.

Before the two could ask any more questions, Cao Han, who had overheard the whole thing through his earphones, spoke up.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the effect of Word of Power: Illumination. It seems I underestimated things this time. You guys should come back to the hotel first."

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the presidential suite, Cao Han gazed at the night view of the slab below, a slight smile playing on his lips.

It seems things are much more interesting than he thought...

Chapter 74 "Double Kill White King" Plan

Inside the presidential suite on the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel.

Upon their return, Fingel and Genji were filled with shame.

What should have been a simple task took an unexpected turn. After alerting the target and making them wary, catching them became much more difficult.

"I was a little careless."

"It has nothing to do with Fingel; it was my arrangement that went wrong."

A subject dies for his lord's dishonor. Seeing his young master taking the blame upon himself, Crow, who was essentially the "strategist," was so ashamed that he couldn't even lift his head. "When I left, I took the guest register from the hotel front desk. There must be accomplices in it who were there to meet that guy!"

This kind of thing is easy to deduce.

If Takeshi Kagawa had noticed Genji's arrival earlier, he wouldn't have chosen to stay at the small inn.

Conversely, it's highly likely that during their door-to-door search, they alerted the other party's accomplices, who then used the "Word of Power: Dark Illumination" to escort the person away.

The principle of "invisibility" is simply to distort light to achieve the effect of invisibility; the person still exists there and does not actually disappear into thin air.

If the crow had been able to act decisively and chase after them, even just delaying them for three to five seconds would have been enough for Genji to arrive and eliminate both the target and his accomplices.

"Alright, alright~ This isn't some self-criticism meeting or a blame-shifting session. There's no need for everyone to rush to take responsibility."

There's an old Chinese saying, "A leopard can't change its spots," and I'm convinced that guy will definitely be unable to resist coming out to do evil again.

Even the Word of Power: Illumination can't hide its form 24 hours a day. Norma will notify me whenever there's news.

I will personally end his sinful life then!

These resounding words were clearly a verdict against Takeshi Kagawa; Cao Han would not repeat the same mistake.

I originally thought that Takeshi Kagawa was just a lucky hybrid who awakened his dragon bloodline by chance.

It seems he underestimated the situation.

Takeshi Kagawa has accomplices or organized forces behind him.

Cao Han really likes an old Chinese saying, not "a wise man submits to circumstances," but rather...

When a general is in the field, he may disobey some of the emperor's orders!

He was fine when he left, but when he goes back is entirely up to him!

I won't easily return to the academy until I achieve my goal.

Compared to the "grand plan" to come, Takeshi Kagawa and those behind him were nothing more than insignificant little karami.

"Finger and Lucy, go and rest first."

Even though they were somewhat reluctant, under Cao Han's unquestionable gaze, the two obediently got up and returned to their respective rooms.

“Gen-kun, it’s not good for you to stay by my side all the time now that you’re back in Japan. Just leave the things in Osaka alone for now.”

"That won't do!" As a man who sees things through to the end, Genji was a hundred times unwilling to leave in such a disgraceful manner.

"Listen to me, the greatest help to our association will be for you to take up the position of Director of the Executive Bureau, rather than wasting time and energy on such trivial matters."

Cao Han was still hoping that Genjiro, this "workaholic," would bring him a continuous stream of evolution points.

Moreover, there were some things he kept to himself and hadn't told the truth. If the plan went smoothly, he might not just be the director of the executive bureau, but could even take control of the entire Snake Clan in one fell swoop.

In Cao Han's eyes, Tachibana Masamune, who was on the hunting mission list, was no different from a dead man.

With "Brother Tongzi" locked on, no matter how many identities one has or how well one hides their disguise, their true identity will be absolutely exposed!

"it is good."

Having said all that, Yuan Zhisheng knew there was no point in persisting any longer. With Cao Han's strength, as long as he took it seriously and personally took action, there would be no surprises.

Furthermore, what the other party said was not wrong.

According to custom, upon returning to Japan, he should pay his respects to the patriarch, Tachibana Masamune, as soon as possible. Given his relationship with his father, he readily agreed.

"Please feel free to contact me if you need any help."

"Will do."

At first, it wasn't very obvious that these people seemed to be classmates, but as they continued to interact more, Crow gradually discovered many clues.

For example, the "association" that these people mention from time to time in their conversations.

For example, not only the members of the special agent team, but also Yuan Zhisheng, would subconsciously show admiration for Cao Han.

There are just too many strange signs that are hard to explain.

However, in front of the young master Genjiro, a crow, being merely a retainer, cannot overstep its bounds.

No sooner had Yuan Zhisheng and the crow left than a door that had been closed almost simultaneously opened, and a head cautiously peeked out from inside.

"This damn sense of teamwork!"

Cao Han chuckled and cursed softly, and sure enough, Fingel had understood the meaning in his eyes just a moment ago.

"Boss Cao!"
