“Cao Han, Fingel von Frings, and Lucy Pallas are all elite students of this department.”
He was naturally unwilling to say much about Cao Han's strength before receiving his permission, and he didn't know where to begin with his status as a newly joined member of the Monster Hunter Association.
Yuan Zhisheng is still not quite used to his new identity.
After successfully receiving the target, Inuyama He waved his hand to signal, and his men in black instantly understood and cleared all the exits, ending the blockade of the airport in the blink of an eye.
Their blockade of the airport has been going on for a while now, and even with the power of the Snake Clan in Japan, it's difficult to let this situation continue to escalate.
"I have arranged a welcome banquet for all the elites in our department. Please follow me."
As Inuyama He finished speaking, Fingel and the others showed no intention of taking any action. Including Genji, their eyes were all on Cao Han.
During this trip to Japan, Cao Han was undoubtedly the "person in charge," both in terms of his strength and status.
The only situation is when outsiders are present; it is essential to maintain the image of "elites from headquarters."
Inuyama He had seen the personal information of the executives sent from headquarters, and said that it was enough to just look at the information filled in on the personal information; only a fool would believe it.
"Is this really an S+ class? It looks quite ordinary."
"Did I disappoint Inuyama's parents a little?"
Cao Han's sudden words seemed to be a response to Inuyama He's thoughts, and for a moment, his heart felt as if it were being gripped by someone, filled with pressure.
He wore glasses to conceal his sharpness for the sake of ordinary people, but he was not so polite to mixed-race people.
When you first arrive, you need to show some skill.
The moment the glasses were removed, the golden eyes, flowing like lava, were directly exposed to the air.
The surging dragon's might and terrifying aura shot into Inuyama He's mind through his eyes. Inuyama He felt that what was in front of him was no longer a seemingly harmless big boy, but an ancient dragon as majestic as a prison.
My spirit was on the verge of collapse the moment we made eye contact.
Upon seeing this scene, Yuan Zhisheng flashed his eerie golden eyes, about to take action, when Cao Han had already closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he still looked harmless.
The crow, drenched in sweat and panting heavily, felt as if it had just brushed with death in that brief moment.
"Let's go. Thank you in advance for your hospitality, Head of the Inuyama family."
This stems from the combination of kindness and severity employed by those in power.
Chapter 73: Several Twists and Turns
"It's a pity you didn't choose our Japanese branch headquarters in Tokyo, otherwise we would have definitely arranged a proper welcome dinner at the Tamamo-no-Mae Club!"
"There will be a chance."
Cao Han responded patiently to Inuyama He's repeated probing.
Under the arrangement of the other party, everyone sat in ZK Restaurant, one of the most upscale and luxurious restaurants in Osaka, enjoying a culinary feast brought by the finest ingredients, while also overlooking and appreciating the night view of Osaka.
They hadn't expected to receive such treatment.
Based on the "experiences" shared by specialists who have returned from missions in the Japanese branch in recent years, it's considered good if they aren't made things difficult for others; the worst cases involve various forms of bullying and harassment from the branch.
While enjoying the food, Fingel glanced at the complacent Cao Han out of the corner of his eye, knowing that the reason must lie with the other man.
However, these are all basic deductions, and there is nothing too difficult about them.
Under Cao Han's direction as "captain," everyone fully demonstrated the fine tradition of "accepting the sugar coating and returning the bullets."
The saying "he who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding" is completely unfounded.
He has a fortune of 60 billion, so it's okay for him to eat at this restaurant as his daily canteen. If he runs out of money, he still has a whole bronze coffin containing precious alchemical equipment!
Selling just one of them would generate an astronomical sum that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to imagine.
Mixed-race individuals are also normal human beings, and they also have the three basic human needs.
Taking advantage of Inuyama He's absence, Cao Han turned his head directly to Fingel in front of Genjiro and his retainer, Crow, and asked:
"Senior, have you identified the target?"
"Of course, that guy is constantly moving, it seems he's choosing a suitable target."
"They are quite cautious."
"really."
Lucy Pallas basically ignored any talk of missions or goals, knowing full well that her role in the team was merely decorative.
Her practical course grade of "B-" seems like a passing grade, but in Kassel College, where "B grade is nothing but a dog and A+ is everywhere," she is a nobody.
Of course, Lucy Pallas isn't entirely without merit; she stands out on the beautiful track.
Cao Han trusted Yuan Zhisheng, after all, the other party was counted in the number of guild members by Tongzi, which showed that he sincerely joined the association.
Moreover, the first stop on our trip to Japan was Osaka, and the purpose was to hunt down our guild's target—Takeshi Kagawa. Even if the Snake-Headed Eight Families found out, it wouldn't matter.
"I'd like to entrust the task of eliminating the target to you two, Fingel and Genjiro, is that alright?"
The instant he finished speaking the last three words, Cao Han elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth, and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Huh?!" Fingel exclaimed in surprise.
This wasn't the script he had envisioned. Shouldn't Cao Han have easily taken down the target, like "slaying Hua Xiong while the wine was still warm" after a meal?!
I'm just a technical staff member who plays a support role!
Not only was Fingel caught off guard, but Genji was also somewhat taken aback.
However, unlike Fingel, who had some knowledge of the target, Genji neither agreed nor refused, but instead inquired about the reasons:
"The mission objective is...?"
Without speaking, Cao Han merely raised his chin slightly in acknowledgment.
An iPad was handed to Finger, containing information about Takeshi Kagawa's numerous and heinous crimes.
"give it to me!"
After only a few glances, Genjiro stood up and decided to take on the task.
On Japanese soil, within the sphere of influence controlled by the Snake Clan, there are still hybrids who commit such heinous acts, which is unacceptable to his justice!
Even if such a person wasn't the target Cao Han specified, Yuan Zhisheng would have dealt with him without hesitation if he knew about it.
The crow beside him could see everything clearly on the iPad. With a blank expression, it pushed up its glasses and uttered a cold word, "You ignorant fool!"
Indeed, this thing can no longer be called a human; it can only be called a dog!
"Actually, if Senior Fingel doesn't want to go, that's fine too. According to the principal, the Inuyama family head was once his student and is a ninth-tier Setsuna speedster. Otherwise, you could handle it..."
Before he could even finish speaking, Fingel interrupted him shamelessly, "Nonsense! As a member of the Monster Hunter Association, it is our duty to serve the association!"
But the smile vanished the moment he stepped out of the restaurant.
Finger understood very well that in order to realize his plan, he had to stick close to Cao Han, and in that case, he had to demonstrate sufficient value to the team.
Again!
Judging from Genjiro's furious expression, it's safe to say that the mission target's fate will not be good.
He only needs to fulfill his role as a "human navigator".
Three unavoidable problems for middle-aged men: frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete emptying of the bladder.
Inuyama He, who was in charge of the sex industry, was a man who could go to the brothel seven times a night when he was young, but now that he is middle-aged, it still takes him several minutes to go to the toilet.
When the results came out, he found that there were three empty seats in the previously full private room. To his slight relief, the person he cared about most, Cao Han, was still there.
"Commissioner Cao, where are they?"
"Oh, you mean Genjiro? I don't know either. He probably had some urgent business to attend to and left first."
Inuyama He listened to Cao Han's nonsensical answer, his lips twitching slightly, thinking to himself that this was blatant lying.
Because it wasn't just Genjiro and the crow who left; there were also the elites from headquarters who had come with them. If I remember correctly, their names were...
Fingel!
The first image that came to mind was Fingel's imposing physique and his "incompetent" behavior of almost always watching Cao Han, the team leader, for every move.
He immediately relaxed his guard.
If Inuyama He knew that Genjiro, whom he considered "one of his own," was actually one of the other's people, I wonder if he would still think that way.
At least for now, in his view, as long as Cao Han, this "big weapon," doesn't disappear and leave, things are still under control.
However, as the young master of the Minamoto clan, and given his relationship with the patriarch Tachibana Masamune, it wouldn't be right for him to just ignore things on his own turf.
"Commissioner Cao, please excuse me!"
After saying goodbye, Inuyama Heya didn't go far. He simply went to the door of the private room, found his underling, and whispered instructions in his ear.
"Have your men keep an eye on Young Master Yuan's whereabouts. Report to me immediately if you have any news. Remember to keep a close watch on him, understand?"
"Understood!" The subordinate nodded vigorously.
"If you understand, then why aren't you moving? What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for me to treat you to dinner?"
"Yes Yes Yes."
Inuyama He shook his head and sighed to himself, "Young people these days are really getting worse with each generation; they have no sense of propriety at all."
When he returned to the private room, Cao Han was chatting with his senior, Lucy Pallas, about things that had absolutely nothing to do with the current mission to Japan.
"We're a bit tired from the long journey. We're very grateful for the hospitality of the Inuyama family head tonight, so we'll head back to the hotel to rest now."
Before Inuyama He could even mention the next leg of the journey, Cao Han took the initiative to suggest returning to the hotel to rest, and his tone was so firm that anyone with a brain would understand.
"It's our duty to entertain the elites from headquarters. The hotel has already been arranged for you. Let's go."
Having witnessed Cao Han's terrifying nature at the airport, Inuyama He couldn't be more eager for Cao Han to obediently return to the hotel to rest and sleep, instead of wandering aimlessly around Japan.
The hotel we stayed at was the Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in downtown Osaka.
The main principle is to never give the other party the slightest chance to "find fault"!
On the way to the hotel, Cao Han listened to Fingel's live broadcasts through his headphones the whole time.
No matter how careful Takeshi Kagawa is, he has nowhere to hide under the lock-on of the supercomputer Norma.
The driver was Crow, who was quite familiar with the terrain and road conditions of Osaka, but the one who ultimately carried out the mission was Genji, who had been eagerly waiting for it.
