Chapter 604: Chapter 601: Who’s Playing Who?

Even a person in charge of a greenhouse could possess his female subordinates. What more for this Lord Gu? What do so many people desperately strive for?

Wealth, status, power, women — not to mention the grand idea of conquering the world. Is the purpose of conquering the world not also for wealth, status, power, and women?

Kikuchi Mika was a beautiful and attractive young nurse. She had just arrived recently, and it was very likely that Lord Gu had not yet seen her. At this moment, upon seeing her, the likelihood of him desiring to possess her suddenly was extremely high.

Japan was inherently a country that valued men over women. Even in society outside, Japanese women held no significant status, let alone in such a place. Sooner or later, they were bound to become playthings for men. There was only one exception unless the woman was formidable and became a leader.

Kikuchi Mika also thought of these possibilities, and her face turned even paler. She had just escaped from the clutches of Miyajima Tairo, and now it seemed she was in danger of falling into even more dire straits. She could only keep her head down as much as possible, trying to prevent others from noticing her looks.

But she forgot that her curvaceous figure, coupled with her white nurse’s uniform, was already the greatest temptation for men. There was no need to even look at her face.

Strangely, Lord Gu just stood still and said nothing. His hands behind his back did not give any indication, and after looking, he turned and continued walking forward.

It was only after he had walked past that Lin Tian noticed that Lord Gu wore a full mask that also covered the back of his head, making it impossible to tell whether his hair was long or short.

Could Lord Gu be a woman? Lin Tian suddenly came up with this bold idea because both Li Qingyun and Li Yue, also Gu Cultivators, were women.

Everyone says "Gu Girl" and never mentions "Gu Male." That indicates that Gu Cultivators are predominantly women. So, it was understandable that Lord Gu might be a woman.

While Lord Gu remained silent, Nishio Yoshiaki suddenly said as he passed by, "All of you, can’t you understand Lord Gu’s intentions? Come over and help quickly."

Damn, he glanced at me a few times without uttering a word. Only a ghost would know what he meant. Lin Tian held immense disdain for Nishio Yoshiaki, likening him to a loyal dog who had thoroughly figured out his leader’s mindset.

However, Lin Tian still followed them, curious about how Lord Gu would crack the safe.

Heading deep into the greenhouse, they arrived back at the same spot. Lin Tian met Miyajima Tairo again. The guy’s face was swollen, but now he dared not slip away to reduce the swelling. He could only keep his head down, waiting for Lord Gu’s instructions.

He dared not bring up the matter of the traitor again. Just now, in front of the enforcement team, he only got a slap. If the same situation occurred in front of Lord Gu, he feared he might be turned into fertilizer.

"Put the safe on the operating table," commanded Nishio Yoshiaki to the three ninjas behind him, although Lord Gu remained silent.

In the greenhouse, an operating table was set up at regular intervals, similar to an experimental table. Whether it was for fertilization or processing herbs, Lin Tian didn’t know.

The safe was already large. After placing three safes, the operating table was almost completely occupied.

"Lord Gu, everything is ready. Please instruct the next steps," Nishio Yoshiaki, after arranging the three safes, turned and respectfully asked Lord Gu.

"What time is it now?" Lord Gu finally spoke, but the voice was odd, as if muffled and altered.

"It’s 10:36 PM." Nishio Yoshiaki hesitated, not knowing why his superior suddenly asked for the time, but he answered honestly, not daring to question why.

"The auction should have finished by now," Lord Gu inquired again.

"Auction?" Nishio Yoshiaki paused once more. He couldn’t keep up with Lord Gu’s train of thought, but luckily, he was quick-witted and immediately responded, "Yes, if nothing unexpected happened, the auction should be over."

"Why then has no information come back from there?" Lord Gu’s tone was unchanged, yet another question.

Lin Tian finally understood what Lord Gu was talking about. He was puzzled as to why Futian Yizhi, who attended the auction, hadn’t sent any information back yet.

The communication signals within the Tianfu Restaurant area were already blocked and shielded. With Ning Luoxi’s previous warnings and now Rossi’s involvement, if Futian Yizhi managed to send back information, this vampire and Ancient Martial Artist might as well not bother.

With the matter unhandled, Nishio Yoshiaki naturally felt anxious, but being inside the Shrine, even if he knew the task was incomplete, he couldn’t change anything.

He could only fabricate a reason, "Lord Gu, perhaps there was an issue at the auction that kept them from leaving. Perhaps..."

"Perhaps they fell into a Huaxia trap?" Lord Gu indifferently suggested, showing emotion for the first time since entering the greenhouse.

The surrounding Japanese shivered, fearing that what followed would be Lord Gu’s wrath.

"Lord Gu, how could that be? Those Huaxia people are extremely foolish, and this is our territory. The Huaxia can only play right into our hands," Nishio Yoshiaki quickly said.

Lin Tian found this quite amusing. It seemed that no matter the country or organization, when questioned by leaders, the excuses were all the same — belittle the enemy and elevate one’s own side. The sycophancy was loud and clear.

"Hmph!" Lord Gu was not convinced, and with a cold snort, caused those Japanese to shiver again.

Lord Gu’s tone was chillingly cold as he spoke, "I returned yesterday, secluded myself for a day, and this is how you handle things for me. Let me tell you, the treasures in my greenhouse are very hungry. If things get messed up, be careful, or you might end up as their fertilizer!"

Having heard this, Lin Tian was seventy percent sure that Lord Gu was indeed that Gu Cultivator. His reason for seclusion for a day was simple; he was recuperating from the loss of his natal Gu.

He glanced at Ning Luoxi, signaling if it was time to take action. However, Ning Luoxi slightly shook her head in disagreement. Lin Tian found it strange, but since he had made her the commander, he decided to let her be in charge. A man must keep his word.

Since the person was right in front of them, there was no escape, so Lin Tian temporarily pressed down on his thoughts to see how these Japanese planned to play their game.

The surrounding Japanese sweated profusely. Dying and becoming fertilizer was one thing, but enduring the agony of becoming experimental subjects was another. They had seen enough of such torments, equivalent to the Eighteen Layers of Hell, which is why the small leaders feared more than anyone else.

Nishio Yoshiaki wiped off cold sweat and softly suggested, "Lord Gu, isn’t the safe still here? If we open it, not only can we obtain the invaluable jade, but we can also severely hit those Huaxia people, preparing well for our plan."
