Chapter 599: Chapter 596: No Reason Needed to Act

Kikuchi Mika stepped back two steps, standing beside Lin Tian, and whispered, "Mr. Miyajima, our task is really urgent. Please come to our laboratory to check the herbs tomorrow."

Being alone with a man in the office, Kikuchi Mika could already imagine what would happen. Although she had just arrived, she had heard that Mr. Miyajima, the person in charge of the greenhouse, was a lecher. There wasn’t a single woman under his jurisdiction he hadn’t touched.

Therefore, she knew that Mr. Miyajima’s so-called discussion about the herbs was just a pretext; he actually wanted to possess her. And the person in charge of the laboratory, that Nishio Yoshiaki, wouldn’t intervene in anything except the experiments for Lord Gu.

She could guess that even if she was taken by Mr. Miyajima, Nishio Yoshiaki would not stand up for her, otherwise Mr. Miyajima wouldn’t be so blatant.

Seeing Kikuchi Mika refuse repeatedly, a dark shade crossed Mr. Miyajima’s eyes.

Yet he still didn’t make a move, but said lightly, "You can assign your task to these ninjas, and the herbs I am handing over are also important. I will just call Nishio, I believe he will understand my arrangement; it’s all for Lord Gu’s experiment."

After saying this, Mr. Miyajima actually took out his phone and dialed a number, purposely putting it on speaker so Kikuchi Mika could hear.

"Mr. Miyajima, what is it? I’m very busy; I must complete the task assigned by Lord Gu on time. Don’t disturb me if it’s nothing urgent," came the not-so-pleasant voice of Nishio Yoshiaki.

Hearing this tone, Kikuchi Mika’s heart slightly relaxed, knowing Nishio Yoshiaki’s status. He was directly appointed by Lord Gu as the head of the laboratory, and his position was much higher than that of the greenhouse head, Mr. Miyajima.

As long as Nishio Yoshiaki was displeased, Mr. Miyajima would not dare to persist.

But she underestimated Mr. Miyajima’s determination; it seemed that he was determined to have her today.

Mr. Miyajima chuckled a few times and said very politely, "Nishio, I, of course, know you are busy for Lord Gu. However, I also have a batch of herbs that need to be delivered to the laboratory, and the laboratory needs someone to verify the data. Since Miss Meijia is already in the greenhouse, she can verify it on the spot. As for cleaning the laboratory, let the ninjas handle it. What do you think?"

As he asked this, Kikuchi Mika’s heart tensed up again; biting her lip, she anxiously awaited Nishio’s response, not daring to shout because it would be useless to do so at this point.

"Mr. Miyajima, you are bothering me with such trivial matters? Since Kikuchi Mika is in the greenhouse, just let her verify it - you are wasting my time!" Nishio Yoshiaki said very displeased and immediately hung up.

The beep from the phone’s speaker sounded like a hammer striking Kikuchi Mika’s heart, inducing despair.

In Nishio Yoshiaki’s eyes, only the tasks assigned by Lord Gu mattered. As long as the work was done, he cared little about anything else that might happen.

Kikuchi Mika felt somewhat at a loss; then, she finally remembered the few ninjas beside her and turned her gaze towards Lin Tian, her eyes filled with a deep plea, considering him her last straw.

But then she despaired again, realizing that they were only ninjas; a few ninjas couldn’t change her fate, a fate destined to be owned by Mr. Miyajima.

She had heard that Mr. Miyajima had peculiar tastes in certain matters. Every woman he laid his hands on came out covered in bruises and wounds, this fear clenching her heart like the grip of a demon, throwing her into a pit of ice.

"Miss Kikuchi Mika, let’s go. It’s just a simple verification task, and it will be over quickly," Mr. Miyajima said with a victorious smile, his gaze raking over Kikuchi Mika’s figure unabashedly.

Seeing that Kikuchi Mika did not move, Mr. Miyajima moved forward a couple of steps, reaching out for her, treating Lin Tian beside her as if he were invisible. In his view, these low-level ninjas were merely cannon fodder, utterly unworthy of his attention.

But just as his hand was about to reach Kikuchi Mika, having just passed Lin Tian, he suddenly felt a tight grip on his wrist, unable to advance even a fraction of an inch.

Although Lin Tian’s face was covered, the cold disdain in his eyes was unmistakable as he casually reached out and grasped Mr. Miyajima’s wrist.

To him, the effort was casual, but even this casual amount of force felt more terrifying than a vise to Mr. Miyajima, who struggled in vain, unable to shift it at all.

"Damn it, lowly ninja, who gave you the courage to treat me with such disrespect! Let go now, and I might spare your life," Mr. Miyajima barked furiously, his eyes flashing dangerously.

When he cursed in Japanese, his words were rapid, but thankfully the smart wristband was up to the test, translating his insults from Japanese accurately, allowing Lin Tian to finally understand what Mr. Miyajima was saying.

At that moment, for some reason, although the greenhouse was not empty and a man and woman were tidying up a small glass house not far away, they saw the conflict but simply lowered their heads, pretending to sweep the floor and acting as if they saw nothing.

Hehe, it seems that Mr. Miyajima usual treatment of his subordinates is quite poor, Lin Tian thought with a cold chuckle. The female subordinates of Mr. Miyajima, having endured his abuse, were probably cursing for his swift demise right now.

Lin Tian could not speak Japanese, so he just clenched his grip. As Mr. Miyajima’s voice escalated, Lin Tian tightened his grip by the same margin, causing cold sweat to bead on Mr. Miyajima’s forehead.

"You will regret your actions, you will pay the price... ah..." Mr. Miyajima had barely started speaking when another wave of intense pain passed through his wrist, causing him to involuntarily cry out in pain.

Ning Luoxi, seeing the situation, guessed it would not be long before their identities were exposed. They would have to start fighting soon, and all she could do was shake her head helplessly.

What kind of person was Lin Tian, really? Sometimes frivolous, sometimes ruthlessly domineering, sometimes cold, sometimes wise, and sometimes a bit lustful. He was not one to suffer losses lightly; yet here he was, unhesitatingly coming to the aid of a Japanese girl, an enemy at that, making Ning Luoxi suddenly think he was like a mysterious man.

But in her heart, Ning Luoxi thought that Lin Tian, acting on his impulses, didn’t seem too bad after all.

While she pondered what kind of person Lin Tian was, she didn’t take her deep infiltration into enemy territory seriously. If Lin Tian knew of her thoughts at the moment, he probably would scorn her for not focusing on the mission.

The Heavenly Master Girl remained silent, her gaze fixed on Lin Tian, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, wondering what he was thinking.

The most tense of all was Kikuchi Mika, the person directly involved. She was happy that Lin Tian had stood up for her, but her joy was tinged with deep worry. A conflict between an ordinary ninja and the supervisor of the greenhouse seemed to have a predictable end.
