Chapter 447: 0448 lifesaving straw

Defeated!

When the Night God bowed his head and stood in front of Sato Tsuru, a sudden stiffness overtook Sato Tsuru’s formerly confident cheeks.

In order to ensure the capture of Ye Qiu, Sato Tsuru had specially invited the Night God, but such an expert had actually been defeated.

Especially hearing that the Night God had fled back, Sato Tsuru almost smashed the coffee-filled cup in his hand across the Night God’s face.

"Sato-kun, Ye Qiu’s strength exceeded my imagination, I am not his match," the Night God did not hide the truth, directly admitting he was inferior to Ye Qiu. Despite the burning shame on his face, this was a fact; he could not fulfill Sato Tsuru’s mission completely.

A glint of resentment flashed in Sato Tsuru’s eyes. The defeat of the Night God would cause unnecessary trouble. If Ye Qiu had been eliminated, all would have been well. But now, instead, they had failed to take down Ye Qiu and had instead provoked a formidable enemy.

Sato Tsuru couldn’t help but worry about Ye Qiu’s revenge.

The thought of being watched by an expert stronger than the Night God, and moreover, one who was skilled in assassination like King Yan, sent shivers down his spine.

In an instant, Sato Tsuru felt somewhat powerless as he slumped into the sofa, his whole body collapsing. Although he had not witnessed King Yan’s might, he had certainly heard of it—if not, why would the heads of the various business associations lower their flags upon receiving a single invitation if not because of King Yan’s notorious reputation, a fame forged in bloodshed that had terrified them.

The Night God was too ashamed to stay. He was an outstanding top assassin in his country, but facing Ye Qiu, he ended up fleeing in terror, which would be a disgrace to share. The Night God departed with a gloomy face, leaving a mess behind and giving Sato Tsuru a headache.

Sato Tsuru pondered how to face Ye Qiu’s fury. Given that Ye Qiu hadn’t pursued him immediately, it seemed intentional, as if giving him time to think of a solution.

What should he do?

Make a personal apology? Or send more people to ensure his own safety? Or, alternatively, seek out another expert to continue the attempt to kill Ye Qiu?

All sorts of ideas flickered through his mind, and for a moment, Sato Tsuru couldn’t make a decision.

Going to apologize in person was something he couldn’t bring himself to do. The thought of apologizing to a younger man—despite his inner reluctance and his status not allowing it, nor would the Yamato Group behind him allow such a thing to happen.

Since Ye Qiu was known as King Yan, his assassination skills must be formidable. Relying solely on more people to protect himself, Sato Tsuru still felt insecure. If by some chance he let Ye Qiu close in on him, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

Sato Tsuru dismissed the first and second options, eventually settling on continuing the fight against Ye Qiu.

"So be it. Since I’ve already angered you, if I can’t kill you once, I don’t believe I can’t kill you ten times," Sato Tsuru’s eyes suddenly gleamed sharply, deciding to continue his attempts to kill Ye Qiu.

To deal with him before Ye Qiu came knocking.

But who could he find to take on Ye Qiu?

This posed a dilemma for Sato Tsuru. This place was not his homeland, Japan, but China. It wasn’t easy to find someone more powerful than Ye Qiu. He couldn’t consider martial artists from China and could only search among the martial arts experts from his homeland.

There were many powerful figures in Japanese martial arts, but some were beyond even Sato Tsuru’s ability to summon.

As Sato Tsuru was at a loss about which expert to call upon, a phone rang. Hearing the person on the line would arrive from Japan today, Sato Tsuru’s face lit up with joy, and he was elated in his heart, thinking, "Heaven truly aids me!"

"Ye Qiu, I will soon send you a second gift," Sato Tsuru’s anxious heart calmed down upon knowing that Fujikawa Ueno was coming with an expert.

Sato Tsuru knew Fujikawa Ueno’s abilities to some extent, as he was also a Grandmaster from Japan. However, since Fujikawa Ueno had suffered in his last encounter with Ye Qiu, Sato Tsuru had some hesitation. But upon hearing the name of the person accompanying him, Sato Tsuru was no longer worried.

With him, dealing with Ye Qiu is overkill.

This man was one of the brightest young talents in the Japanese martial arts world and also a direct disciple of that individual. Despite his young age, he was much stronger than Fujikawa Ueno and was hailed as a future supreme contender in the Japanese martial arts world.

With that person there, Sato Tsuru could be completely at ease, as even if Ye Qiu grew wings, it would be hard to escape from this person’s grasp.

...

Inside the Goddess Villa, Shen Mengchen was engrossed in a urban fantasy novel called "Supernatural Insight Eyes," passing the time. She was so captivated that she didn’t notice Ye Qiu’s return.

Seeing Shen Mengchen absorbed in her book, Ye Qiu didn’t disturb her. It was rare for the girl to relax like this, which also suggested that the company was running well. According to Shen Mengchen’s personality, she wouldn’t want to bring work home. Being able to be home early today without working overtime indicated that she had finished dealing with company matters.

Glancing over, Ye Qiu saw Shangguan Mingyue busying herself in the kitchen. Was she making dinner?

Ye Qiu frowned slightly, feeling that something was off, but he didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he adopted an attitude of ’pure appreciation’ as he watched the beautiful figure before him.

Shangguan Mingyue’s figure was curvy, not the type with particularly large assets, but everything was just right, exuding a perfectly proportioned beauty.

With every move Shangguan Mingyue made, she radiated infinite charm. Dressed in simple casual clothing with a scarf, she resembled a virtuous wife and mother. Ye Qiu thought that having such a woman as a wife might not be too bad.

While Ye Qiu was lost in thought, Shangguan Mingyue noticed his gaze on her.

"You’re back," she said.

"Yeah, what are you doing?" Ye Qiu immediately shifted his admiring gaze to one of seriousness, smiling as he asked.

Shangguan Mingyue smiled mysteriously and teased, "You’ll know soon enough. You can’t run away, okay?"

"Heh, unless you give me poison, why would I run away? Not everyone has the chance to eat something personally made by Miss Mingyue," replied Ye Qiu, unaware of the ’dark cuisine strengthening soup’ Shangguan Mingyue had prepared for him, as he continued to shower her with compliments.

Shen Mengchen glanced at Ye Qiu with a lustful look and couldn’t help but grind her teeth, "Hmph, still the same old lustful look." However, she soon revealed a sly grin, "Big pervert, soon you’ll know all about the tasty dish Mingyue sister has prepared for you."

Recalling the dark, gloomy thing that Shangguan Mingyue had made, Shen Mengchen felt nauseous. If that was considered a nourishing food, she would rather die than have a taste.

Before long, Ye Qiu was seated at the table while Shangguan Mingyue brought over a medium-sized bowl, about twice the size of a rice bowl, and gently placed it in front of Ye Qiu.

"It’s ready, you have to drink it all," she insisted.

"This concoction will be very beneficial for you martial artists; I’ve specially developed it for you," Shangguan Mingyue said earnestly.

Ye Qiu felt his nose pick up a pungent smell, and upon seeing the contents of the bowl, which looked like an inky sludge, wondered if he was really expected to drink it.

Ye Qiu forced a smile and asked, "Do I really have to drink this?"

"Yes, unless you want to waste my goodwill," Shangguan Mingyue threatened directly.

"Cough cough... A real man shouldn’t shrink from a challenge, I’ve faced all sorts of opponents. One bowl of strengthening soup, down the hatch," Ye Qiu bolstered himself, pinching his nose and gulping it down.

However, once the pitch-black substance entered his mouth, Ye Qiu realized he had made a huge mistake, his expression said it all...

Returning to his room later, Ye Qiu still couldn’t help feeling queasy. The thought of Shangguan Mingyue’s dark cuisine made him shudder, no longer daring to boast so boldly.

Soon after, his expression grew serious as he turned his attention to a small, delicate box.

The Magic Box!
