Chapter 84: The Meikawa Family, Meikawa Naiku

After returning to the estate, Su Yifan shut himself in his room at once and began refining the spirit stones he had obtained.

Elsewhere.

At Yun City First People’s Hospital.

After more than two hours of emergency treatment, Yang Juncheng’s arm was finally saved, though he would need half a year of recuperation before it could fully heal.

In the hospital room at that moment, he lay half-reclined on the bed, raging, “That damn brat! He actually crippled my hand. Once I’m discharged, I’ll make him pay!”

His right hand was wrapped in layers of bandages, and his face was hideous with fury.

Lin Mei stood by the bedside, looking at the captain with concern.

What?

Was the captain still planning to trouble that man?

That man had nearly beaten him to death, and yet he still wanted to go after him.

No. She could not let him go on like this.

After thinking it over, she tried to persuade him. “Captain, maybe let it go.”

At those words, Yang Juncheng became so furious he forgot his hand had just been operated on. The moment he lifted it even slightly, a searing pain shot through him.

“Ahh—”

He cried out in pain, his face twisting.

After a long moment, he finally said, “You and I are members of the Dragon Task Force. That brat actually dared to strike me in public.”

“This is completely an insult to the Dragon Task Force, and an insult to me!”

Lin Mei was about to continue persuading him when Deng Gang pushed the door open and came in from outside.

He had just been on the phone outside when he heard Yang Juncheng’s furious shouting. After ending the call, he came in at once.

“Captain Yang, I have already reported your matter to headquarters.”

Yang Juncheng looked at Deng Gang, still not understanding the gravity of the situation.

Deng Gang continued, “Headquarters said that this incident happened entirely because of your poor attitude, so you will have to bear all the consequences yourself.”

“Also, after this, you are not allowed to trouble Su Yifan. If you do, your position as captain of the Dragon Task Force will be revoked.”

Yang Juncheng froze, then said in confusion, “What do you mean by that, Deng Gang?”

“Captain Yang, don’t get me wrong. This isn’t my decision. It’s headquarters’ decision.”

Deng Gang waved a hand.

If not for the fact that they were all members of the Dragon Task Force, he would not have bothered to explain so much.

“No, impossible. I don’t believe it. I’m calling them myself to get to the bottom of this.”

As he spoke, Yang Juncheng reached for his phone.

Seeing this, Deng Gang hurriedly said, “Captain Yang, I advise you not to call. It’s already generous that headquarters isn’t punishing you this time.”

Yang Juncheng stared at him blankly.

Deng Gang sighed and asked, “Do you know who the man who just beat you was?”

“Wasn’t he just some overreaching punk? Who else could he be?”

What?

Young Master Su overreaching?

I think the overreaching one is you.

Deng Gang took a deep breath and said, “He is the one who destroyed the Ye family not long ago. Do you understand now?”

As soon as those words fell, Yang Juncheng and Lin Mei both shuddered violently.

What?

He was the man who had single-handedly wiped out the entire Ye family?

“What… what was his name again?” Yang Juncheng asked in a trembling voice.

“Su Yifan.”

Deng Gang calmly spoke the young master’s name.

“What, he is actually…”

Upon hearing that name, Yang Juncheng suddenly understood everything.

No wonder everyone had so respectfully called that man Young Master Su. So it turned out he was Su Yifan.

“Let me quietly tell you another secret.”

Deng Gang glanced around, stepped forward, and lowered his voice.

“A few days ago, General Tang of Azure Dragon came specifically to Yun City to invite Young Master Su into Azure Dragon. And do you know what happened? General Tang didn’t even manage to get through the door of Young Master Su’s home.”

“What?!”

Hearing this bombshell, Yang Juncheng and Lin Mei both widened their eyes in shock.

They both knew of General Tang.

He was one of Azure Dragon’s higher-ups.

Under normal circumstances, even if someone with astonishing martial talent appeared, there would be no need for a top Azure Dragon official to personally extend an invitation.

This time, Azure Dragon had actually sent General Tang himself to invite this young man named Su Yifan.

And even so, it still failed!

Who on earth was Su Yifan?

Only now did Yang Juncheng realize what kind of terrifying person he had provoked.

Just moments ago he had called the other man overreaching, when the clown had been himself all along.

“Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Yang Juncheng asked.

“I wanted to tell you, but did you give me the chance?” Deng Gang snapped.

At that, Yang Juncheng’s face turned red with embarrassment.

Yes.

He had been consumed by rage at the time.

When Deng Gang tried to stop him, he had shoved him aside without giving him a single word.

Seeing his expression, Deng Gang said flatly, “But don’t think too much about it. If Young Master Su had truly meant to kill you, you would already be nothing but dust.”

He had personally witnessed Su Yifan turn a person into a cloud of blood mist.

Just remembering that scene sent a chill through him.

Hearing this, Yang Juncheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

By then, he had already made up his mind that once he was discharged, he would go apologize to Young Master Su at the first possible moment.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Cherry Blossoms.

Inside the Mochikawa family residence.

Mochikawa Naiku had just finished his private exercise and come out of his room. After waiting a long time without seeing his younger brother return, he took out his phone and made a call.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed...”

The moment he heard that cold recorded message, Mochikawa Naiku hung up.

He found another number in his contacts and called it directly.

The call was answered quickly.

“What happened? Why hasn’t my brother come back yet?” Mochikawa Naiku asked in Japanese.

By all rights, his brother should have returned by now.

Yet not only had he not seen him, even the phone would no longer connect.

The person on the other end hesitated briefly, then replied, “I’m very sorry, Mochikawa Naiku-sama, but your younger brother… is already dead.”

“Nani?!”

Upon hearing of his brother’s death, Mochikawa Naiku’s voice instantly rose several degrees. “What did you say? My dear brother is dead?”

“Yes, Mochikawa Naiku-sama. Your brother’s body has already been taken away by the people of the Xia Nation’s Dragon Task Force,” the person on the other end said.

The Dragon Task Force?

Hearing it was a Xia Nation organization, Mochikawa Naiku said in a low voice, “Are you saying my brother died at the hands of those Dragon Task Force people?”

“Not exactly. Mochikawa Jiro-sama was killed by a man named Su Yifan.”

“Su Yifan?”

“That’s right. As far as I know, this Su Yifan is from a third-rate family in Yun City. Mochikawa Jiro-sama and the others all died in his hands.”

“Su Yifan! Bastard!”

With a crack, Mochikawa Naiku crushed the phone in his hand. His gaze grew vicious as he said, “Brother, rest assured. I will not let you die in vain.”
