Chapter 2166 Just an empty reputation

After having breakfast, Pi Yangyang and the others rested for a while at the hotel.

Just as I was about to go to the beach to sunbathe and surf, I suddenly saw several black men hurriedly walk out of the hotel, get into a car, and leave.

Xu Guangda looked at the group and said with some surprise, "That was Mr. Kundy. This is the negotiation team from Meichuan Iron Mine. Shouldn't they be negotiating with the Shanyou Metals delegation? Why did they suddenly leave?"

Gao Changyuan also said suspiciously, "Yeah, it's only been a short time, and they've already finished talking?"

Xu Guangda speculated, "Could it be that their negotiations broke down?"

Gao Changyuan shook his head slightly. "It shouldn't be. Mr. Kundy's face showed no displeasure; on the contrary, he seemed very relaxed. This indicates that he has everything under control in this negotiation."

Pi Yangyang said calmly, "This is a case of feigning weakness to lure the enemy into a trap. They want to get more, so they deliberately create a situation where negotiations break down quickly, forcing the other party to make concessions."

Gao Changyuan nodded and said, "Yes, that should be it."

Pi Yangyang scoffed and said, "I'm afraid Miyazaki Kotaro isn't so easily fooled."

Xu Guangda said, "That's right. When it comes to cunning, how could Brother Hei possibly outsmart the Japanese?"

Pi Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's not worry about them for now. It seems that Kundi doesn't plan to contact us anytime soon. Now it's a test of patience. Whoever loses their temper first will have to make concessions."

Gao Changyuan hummed in agreement. "In that case, let's relax and have some fun."

The group went to the beach, sunbathing and admiring the various bikinis, appearing very relaxed.

Despite the events of the previous night, Qiu Haitang and Du Haiou were somewhat frightened, but they still left the hotel and went to the beach.

Tie Niu and Kang Dezhu didn't take the previous night's events to heart at all. They bought surfboards and learned to surf, swallowing who knows how much seawater they ended up with. But they finally learned how.

Around noon, news spread from the hotel.

Last night, someone saw two ships on fire at sea.

The maritime search and rescue team immediately went to the area, but the water was too deep for the divers to reach the bottom, and they found nothing.

However, they found some debris in the nearby waters.

After identification, it was determined that the fragments came from the cruise ship.

At this point, the police have basically confirmed that the Duke of Myron's cruise ship caught fire and sank while he was out at sea last night.

Stoch and others could not accept this reality. He was convinced that Mellen's disappearance must be related to Pi Yangyang.

Because he knew that Myron had hired mercenary assassins to target Pi Yangyang.

However, Pi Yangyang is still safe and sound, without a scratch.

Myron and Heidi, however, have mysteriously disappeared!

He made contact with the Mellen family of Country E and confirmed that the mercenary assassins had arrived in Karl.

However, the Myron family has been unable to contact Darcy and the others.

Shi Duochi was secretly surprised.

He couldn't believe that the mercenary squad had been wiped out by Pi Yangyang.

He knew very well that Darcy's Death Squad was renowned throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa, and had never failed a mission.

No matter how powerful Pi Yangyang is, he couldn't possibly wipe out a ten-man mercenary squad without making a sound.

The Myron family was shocked and furious when they learned of Duke Myron's disappearance in Carr.

They ordered Stoch and the others to return to the Fog City immediately and give an explanation to their families.

After lunch, Stoch and his group hurriedly left Karl and returned to the Fog City.

With this, the Myron family officially withdrew from negotiations for the Meichuan Iron Mine.

Upon hearing this news, Pi Yangyang couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

…………

Inside an abandoned oil refinery outside Karl, a dozen or so people suddenly and silently gathered.

They hid inside the factory like ghosts. They slept there during the day, eating only the bread and compressed biscuits they brought themselves.

One of the elderly men, who was in his early sixties, was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Occasionally, he would open his eyes, his gaze gleaming with a sharp light.

The other dozen or so men were all around thirty years old, dressed in dark red haori hakama, with cold and stern expressions, exuding a murderous aura.

These are ninjas that the Miyazaki family invited from Japan.

The old man was none other than Yuichi Momochi, one of the four elders of the Momochi family of the Iga school.

Bai Diqianli is his cousin and a prominent member of the Bai Di family.

Unexpectedly, my first mission to China ended there.

Upon learning of Momochi Senri's death, Momochi Yuichi was filled with grief and anger, and harbored deep hatred for Pi Yangyang.

After receiving a call from Miyazaki Akinobu, he immediately volunteered to personally lead a team to Karl to carry out the mission of assassinating Pi Yangyang.

He is not only the king of ninjas, but also a successor of ancient martial arts.

He successfully combined Japanese ninjutsu with ancient Chinese martial arts, creating his own sword technique, which significantly increased its lethality.

Not only within the Momochi family, but throughout the entire Iga school, he ranks among the top three.

The dozen or so people he brought were all top performers of the Iga school.

Four of them are skilled in long-range assassination with concealed weapons, while four others excel at forming formations to strangle and kill targets. Four more are adept at creating shadow clones, with the most powerful one capable of simultaneously conjuring more than ten clones.

This combination is unparalleled in its lethality, whether it's close-quarters combat, long-range assassination, or using illusions to confuse the opponent and kill them unexpectedly.

Yuichi Momochi believed that with himself and the twelve top-tier ninjas he led, no matter the opponent, there would only be one outcome: death.

At this point, they patiently waited for nightfall.

A ninja's fighting ability is not on the same level during the day and at night.

Many skills cannot be used during the day.

Therefore, they had to wait until nightfall to be confident of a fatal blow.

"Teacher, the head of the Miyazaki family said that they have also found a top martial artist from China, whose cultivation has reportedly broken through to the Lesser Grandmaster realm."

Seeing that Yuichi Momochi had opened his eyes, a ninja quickly handed him a water bottle and said hesitantly.

Yuichi Momochi took a leisurely sip of water and said disdainfully, "Chinese martial artists? They're all talk and no action! They're good at performing, full of feints but lacking in truly practical skills. When it comes to killing techniques, how can they compare to the martial artists of our J country?"

This ninja also came from the Momochi clan and was named Momochi Hideyoshi. He was a master of shadow clones.

"That's true. Chinese people love to boast. If they have even a little skill, they can exaggerate it to the heavens. Most of those so-called minor masters are just boasting."

He strongly agrees with Yuichi Momochi's statement.

Bai Di Xiong's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said coldly, "This time we must kill that man named Pi Yangyang to avenge Bai Di Qianli and the others! And to vindicate our Bai Di family."

"Hi!"

Momochi Hideyoshi answered respectfully.

When the mission of Momochi Senri and others failed and the news was relayed back to the Iga school, it caused a great sensation.

For countless years, the Iga school has never suffered such a great loss.

The fact that a Jonin and several Chunin were defeated and killed in China is a great humiliation for the Iga school.

This is especially disgraceful for the Hyakuchi family.

The other two major families in the sect are Hattori and Fujibayashi.

Although on the surface the three families get along harmoniously, they are actually vying for power in secret, each wanting to become the absolute leader of the entire sect.

Upon learning that Hyakuchi Senri had failed in his mission and died in China, the Hattori and Fujibayashi families began to stir, volunteering to go to China to assassinate Pi Yangyang and avenge Hyakuchi Senri.

The Bai Di family knew that when they claimed to be avenging Bai Di Qianli, they were actually mocking them and even plotting to assassinate Pi Yangyang and steal the honor that rightfully belonged to the Bai Di family.

Just as the three major families were vying to go to China, the Bai Di family suddenly received news that Pi Yangyang, who killed Bai Di Qianli, had now gone to Karl in West Africa.

Momochi Yuichi immediately decided that he would personally lead a group to assassinate Pi Yangyang in Karl.

He carefully selected the clan's top ninjas to ensure the mission would go perfectly.

However, as soon as they arrived in Karl, they received a message from Kotaro Miyazaki saying that they were not the only ones who came for this assassination mission.

The Miyazaki family also mobilized a deputy temple master of the Black Temple, as well as the Black Temple's top assassins, to come to Karl.

What was particularly difficult for Yuichi Momochi to accept was that the Miyazaki family had actually brought in a martial arts master from China, who claimed to have broken through to the Lesser Grandmaster realm, to carry out this assassination mission.

Momochi Yuichi immediately felt a sense of humiliation.

This clearly shows that the Miyazaki family doesn't trust the Momochi family.

Therefore, he secretly vowed to assassinate Pi Yangyang before the Black God Temple and that Chinese expert could.
