Chapter 1462 - 1460: Misunderstanding
The substance Yang Cao gave to the floor manager was just a simple modified suppressant, allowing for direct consumption with minimal side effects.
However, the drug he gave to Nagakami Ueno was seasoned with a special ingredient. With such a great opportunity, how could Yang Cao let it slip by?
After inspection, only a few people were infected.
Though the parasite is terrifying, even a tiny bit of contact is incurable.
However, the parasite’s weakness is also glaringly obvious: it fears high temperatures.
As long as the temperature reaches eighty degrees, they may enter a dormant state. At a scalding temperature, they will die instantly.
And the spray gun’s temperature reaches several thousand degrees, practically lethal on contact. Even if blood splashes, it will be annihilated by such heat, making survival nearly impossible.
As for those infected, they can only be considered unlucky; it was just their bad luck.
What surprised Yang Cao was the ruthless nature of the Beihai Country people. After these individuals were infected, they were immediately detained and used as experimental research subjects, without any chance of resistance.
Yang Cao could pretty much guess their outcome.
As for those declared uninfected, they all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had been given a new lease on life.
Next, Yang Cao continued to immerse himself in the experiment, while Nagakami Ueno was very grateful to Yang Cao, his wariness much reduced.
...
Ichimazuru-ryu.
Imano Genso looked at the bustling scene at Ichimazuru-ryu, feeling a bit scared.
After all, Ichimazuru-ryu is different from Yagureryu; it’s a top-tier school, recognized and supported by everyone, wielding immense influence.
Night Fire saw Imano Genso’s expression and laughed, "What? Scared?"
Imano Genso shook his head immediately, "For my noble ideals! It’s all worth it!"
Night Fire smiled slightly, "Then go on!"
Imano Genso hesitated a moment, then slowly nodded, opened the car door, and walked out.
From the car, Night Fire watched Imano Genso walk toward the main entrance of Ichimazuru-ryu, a faint smile on his lips.
At first, the people standing at the entrance hadn’t noticed Imano Genso, each engaged in their own conversations.
However, due to Imano Genso’s tattered clothes and blood stains, he quickly drew attention.
As more people noticed him, naturally, someone recognized Imano Genso’s identity.
"It’s Imano Genso!"
"He’s here! With a message!"
"It’s Imano Genso of the Four Spirits Hall!"
"It’s him!"
"He really came!"
"Is it another message this time?"
"Wonder when he’s coming again!"
...
Everyone was abuzz with discussion, pointing at Imano Genso.
Someone even directly blocked Imano Genso, questioning, "You, a Beihai Country person, why serve the Flame Country? Don’t you feel ashamed? Aren’t you betraying the Martial Arts you trained for?"
Imano Genso glanced at him and coldly said, "You think I want to? You think I want to stay alive? From the moment Four Spirits Hall was destroyed, I was already dead! I died with the Four Spirits Hall! But I haven’t died, meaning I still have value! Do you ask why I serve the Flame Country? Can I control that? I don’t want to relay messages for them, I wish to die! But I can’t defeat him, neither can you, no one can!"
"I’m here not just to deliver a message! I’m not living to serve the Flame Country! By staying alive, I can obtain more information from them! By being with them, I can gather more intelligence! This way, we might have a chance to continue winning! What are you doing? Just spouting nonsense?"
Facing Imano Genso’s challenge, the other person was speechless.
Imano Genso’s words immediately gained some approval from the crowd.
"What you said is great!"
"We misunderstood you!"
"Someone like you is truly great!"
"You’re our role model!"
"Thank you for everything you’ve done!"
"You from Four Spirits Hall are all heroes!"
...
Hearing this, many people believed Imano Genso made significant sacrifices.
What was initially a traitor-like mission was now uplifted to hero status by them.
Imano Genso felt secretly pleased.
He raised his hand to quiet the crowd, then slowly said, "My appearance symbolizes our opportunity! I hope everyone can seize this chance, not let it slip away! Only if we kill him this time, can we be truly free! Not only me, all of us! It’s also for our great Martial Arts honor!"
"For Martial Arts honor!"
"For Martial Arts honor!"
...
The crowd’s emotions were ignited by Imano Genso, shouting fervently.
From a distance, Night Fire saw this scene, smiled slightly, and started the car to leave.
The commotion outside caught the attention of the Ichimazuru-ryu people.
Miura Shinichiro, seeing Imano Genso, raised an eyebrow.
He knew Yang Chen would target Ichimazuru-ryu, but didn’t expect it so soon.
But after listening to others, Miura Shinichiro was stunned.
Is Imano Genso a spy? Embedded beside Yang Chen to gather intelligence for their side?
In this sense, Imano Genso is a respectable person.
After thinking it over, Miura Shinichiro went to Imano Genso, bowed deeply, and said solemnly, "Mr. Yuan Sheng! Thank you for everything you’ve done for us!"
Imano Genso also immediately stood straight, bowed deeply to Miura Shinichiro, and solemnly said, "This is what I should do! I hope you can defeat Yang Chen and bring peace to Beihai Country’s Martial Arts!"
"Yes! I will do my utmost!" Miura Shinichiro declared loudly.
Encircled by the crowd, Imano Genso and Miura Shinichiro entered the high-end residential area.
Miura Shinichiro respectfully invited Imano Genso into the hall, brewed a pot of good tea, and respectfully handed it to Imano Genso.
Imano Genso took the tea and said solemnly, "Tonight at nine o’clock! He’s coming to challenge!"
"Tonight at nine o’clock!" Miura Shinichiro was stunned. Glancing at the time, it was almost seven!
"So urgent?" Miura Shinichiro frowned.
Normally, a challenge requires at least a week’s notice, or at the very least, a day in advance!
Now, the message comes now, and the challenge follows immediately, defying logic and rules!
Imano Genso said solemnly, "He knows you Ichimazuru-ryu are gathering people, feared you might form a powerful force by then and couldn’t control you. So, he’s coming to resolve it before you gather more people!"
Upon hearing this, Miura Shinichiro’s grave demeanor disappeared, and he laughed heartily, "He’s scared!"
Imano Genso was taken aback, not expecting Miura Shinichiro to say that. Yet, after thinking, he nodded, "You could say so."
Since it’s a trap, make it a deeper one! Imano Genso’s role is to spread misdirection! The more Miura Shinichiro misunderstands, the better.
