Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Meeting the Empress_1

Xiu Zheng swaggered out of the restaurant after receiving the order. As he left, the door swung shut behind him, but before it could close completely, Xiu dashed inside, his mouth agape, his face a picture of shock, "The, the Young Master of the Red Dragon Group has arrived outside!"

The Empress’s eyebrows rose slightly as she asked softly, "Do you recognize him?"

"In Shinjuku, there’s no one who doesn’t! This guy will dare to do anything except murder!"

"Thirteen."

"Your servant is here!"

"Take Xiu out for an examination, and casually bring the head of that Young Master of the Red Insect Group here." The Empress’s voice was as calm and soothing as a lullaby, yet she spoke a most bloodthirsty sentence.

"Yes."

As Shadow Thirteen turned to leave, Wu Qiuyue added, "The Empress dislikes the sight of blood."

"Your servant understands."

"Elder sister, what does ’an examination’ mean?" Xiu asked, cautiously, as Shadow Thirteen approached him.

Without a word, Shadow Thirteen grabbed Xiu by the collar and dragged him out.

Soon after, the sounds of a fierce battle, complete with Xiu’s screams, could be heard from outside.

The commotion ended quickly, and Xiu, with trembling hands, pushed the restaurant doors open. He kept his eyes closed, not daring to look at Shadow Thirteen.

As Shadow Thirteen entered the restaurant, holding a man’s head in her left hand, the entire place erupted into chaos. Except for the Empress and Wu Qiuyue, everyone else screamed and bolted from the restaurant at once.

Outside the restaurant, more than a dozen men’s bodies lay haphazardly scattered across the ground!

"Reporting to the Empress, this is the Young Master of the Red Insect Group."

The Empress’s gaze had not strayed from the exquisite German porcelain in front of her. Her voice was as ethereal as a daydream, and listening to her was like feeling a warm breeze blowing against your ear, giving a tingling and oddly delightful sensation.

"China, China, a country named after porcelain, yet it can’t even compare to the craftsmen of the Western Regions. Those craftsmen really are living in the past."

"If the Empress likes, your servant will immediately have the finest porcelain set ordered from the best factory in Germany."

The Empress didn’t reply, but simply raised her head and looked towards the door.

"Xiu." The Empress glanced at Xiu.

"Your, your servant is here."

Xiu quickly lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with the Empress!

Having mingled in the underbelly of Shinjuku for over a decade, Xiu had seen plenty of gang violence, but he had never witnessed such brute force! That seemingly delicate beauty had turned into a Death God from Hell in an instant, slaughtering more than a dozen gang members with precision and without leaving a single survivor!

"Do you know why your life was spared?"

"Your, your servant does not know!" All of Xiu’s body began to shake uncontrollably, as fear and panic enveloped him.

At that moment, he thought of many things, but most of them were images of how Shadow Thirteen might dismember him.

Wu Qiuyue spoke in an indifferent tone, "Up to now, among those who have ingested Poisonous Skull, 70 percent die within three minutes, their bodies oozing pus and rotting away. Another 20 percent choose suicide, unable to bear the pain, and less than 10 percent are tortured to death. Only a very few survive. Boy, you are very lucky."

After a pause, Wu Qiuyue continued, "However, the Imperial Alliance does not keep the useless, especially those who tremble at the sight of blood."

"I... I just need to get used to it," Xiu said.

Xiu slapped himself hard, steadying his shaking legs.

At that moment, siren sounds came from outside.

Xiu immediately sprang to his feet, braced the restaurant doors with his hands, and shouted towards the Empress and Wu Qiuyue, "You two go first, I’ll hold them off!"

"Step aside."

Shadow Thirteen kicked Xiu aside, and then three imposing and beautiful female officers strode in. All three women held high ranks, and the one leading was actually the Deputy Chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!

When they came within about five meters of the Empress, they knelt down suddenly, their faces solemn and their speech clear, "Greetings to the Empress, long live the Empress in peace and security!"

The Empress cast a look of splendid dominion over all beneath heaven at the two of them, and said indifferently, "Rise."

"Thank you, Empress!"

"To report to the Empress, we have already cleaned up those people outside," said the Deputy Director of the Police Bureau reverently.

The Empress’s interest was clearly not in this. Instead, she asked Xiu, who was hiding in the corner, "Are you familiar with Shinjuku?"

"Kind of," Xiu felt all the muscles in his face stiffen like iron.

"Qiu Yue."

"This servant is here."

"Does Japan have a unified underground force?"

Wu Qiuyue, who was familiar with the Empress, knew very well that the Empress never spoke unnecessarily. Once she opened her mouth, it was certain that a significant event was about to unfold!

Therefore, as the Empress spoke, Wu Qiuyue had already thought of a reply, "To report to the Empress, the underground forces in Japan are extremely chaotic. Every thirty years the pattern changes greatly, and it has never been unified."

"I will enter seclusion tomorrow; on the day I emerge, all of Japan’s underground forces will be under my control."

Wu Qiuyue was startled and quickly stood up, saying respectfully to the Empress, "You, you’re going into seclusion for just one month—it’s too hasty. The underground forces in Japan are mostly controlled by old families, and they are deeply entangled with the Japanese government and officials..."

"Silence."

"This servant deserves death!"

Wu Qiuyue suddenly bowed deeply.

Surprisingly, the Empress did not punish Wu Qiuyue but continued with the authoritative tone of a superior that had not changed in thousands of years, "I do not wish to hear nonsense; just get it done. Should there be any resistance, utterly eradicate it, root and branch."

"Yes!"

Wu Qiuyue knew the Empress, who had slept for a thousand years, was ready to express her frustration with a grand shock.

This was the Empress she knew!

At this moment, Shadow Thirteen’s ears suddenly moved, and he promptly said respectfully to the Empress, "To report to the Empress, Shadow One and Shadow Six have returned."

The Empress frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Soon, Shadow One and Shadow Six walked in.

"Greetings to the Empress, may the Empress live forever in peace and safety!"

Shadow One and Shadow Six bowed low, Shadow One holding a sandalwood box in his hands that was only the size of two palms, while Shadow Six had a rectangular leather case in his hands that looked big enough to contain a person.

"What about the other four?"

Clearly, the Empress was more concerned about the other four Shadow Guards.

"To report to the Empress, they... died in battle."

"Qiu Yue, I remember you previously mentioned sending six Shadow Guards to the ancient tomb to retrieve an item from that year. Why was it so perilous, and just two of the distinguished Shadow Guards managed to return alive?"

Wu Qiuyue was about to speak when Shadow Six hurriedly said, "To report to the Empress, this is because we encountered an extremely terrifying existence deep in the ancient tomb."

"What is it?"

"A black fog, clinging to a huge White Jade Coffin. It can move, and the Blood Slaughter Knife had barely any effect on it. If not for Li..."

"Ahem!"

Shadow One quickly coughed lightly.

Shadow Six then realized he had said too much and hurriedly fell silent.

"Li what?"

The Empress’s charming eyes slightly widened, looking at Shadow Six.
