Chapter 2168: Murderous Intentions
Nearly a kilometer from the abandoned factory, a group of people hid among the sand dunes and rocks.
Dressed in a black haori (traditional Japanese robe), she held a clean white silk handkerchief in her hand, carefully wiping a samurai sword that was about 1.2 meters long.
Her expression was solemn, and her cold eyes flashed with hatred and murderous intent.
After receiving the request from the Miyazaki family, the Black God Temple immediately volunteered for the mission.
When the deputy hall master Audis learned that the person the Miyazaki family wanted to kill was Pi Yangyang, he hesitated.
Last time, Pi Yangyang actually found the base. The base sent two mechs, but they couldn't stop him; instead, he killed quite a few people.
He both hated and feared this person.
However, when Miyaji Sa found out, she insisted on personally leading the troops into battle.
She firmly believed that Pi Yangyang was able to escape last time entirely because he was lucky, as she had a hostage in his hands.
Otherwise, the helicopter that day wouldn't have been able to leave the base within ten kilometers.
Audis hesitated for a moment, thinking he should consult headquarters first.
But Miyaji Sa firmly assured that she would definitely kill Pi Yangyang this time and avenge her previous defeat.
She explained to Audis that the group sent to assassinate Pi Yangyang wasn't just from the Black Temple. There were also top-tier ninjas from Japan, and even a top-tier ancient martial arts practitioner from China.
So she felt this was a golden opportunity.
No matter how powerful Pi Yangyang is, with the three parties joining forces, there's no way he can escape!
Audis thought this made sense, and he knew very well that there was a life-and-death feud between Miyajisa and Pi Yangyang, so he allowed her to lead the team to Karl.
However, in order to avoid leaks, he disagreed with sending out the mecha.
The mecha is still in the testing phase, and many aspects still need improvement. It is not yet time to make it public.
Once leaked, it will inevitably attract widespread attention. Some companies may realize the value of this device and invest heavily in its development, ultimately impacting the sales of the base's mechs.
Miyaji Sa didn't force her; she felt that Pi Yangyang would die anyway, even without the mecha.
She brought twenty-four people with her this time.
Fifteen of them were selected from the "poisonous insect breeding" base.
These are the survivors who survived the brutal "poisonous insect" training grounds; they are ruthless, bloodthirsty, and possess extremely agile skills.
Among them were even martial arts practitioners.
The other nine were top assassins selected from the base, two of whom were the rotating commanders of the base.
At this moment, everyone sat quietly on the ground, eating the dry rations they had brought, waiting for any movement inside the abandoned factory.
Just an hour earlier, they saw four people sent out of the abandoned factory into the city.
Miyajisa knew that these were ninjas from the Iga Clan, preparing to attack Pi Yangyang.
Four ninjas alone certainly wouldn't be able to kill Pi Yangyang.
Therefore, she deduced that these ninjas must have lured Pi Yangyang here so that they could attack him together.
This is also a golden opportunity for her.
After all, a fight in a busy downtown area would inevitably cause chaos.
If we could kill Pi Yangyang in this desolate place, that would be the best outcome.
"Young Master, should we also go and ambush them at the factory?"
A king named Humphrey came before Miyajisa and asked for her instructions.
Miyajisa continued wiping her long sword, calmly saying, "No need to rush. If he really gets lured to the abandoned factory, then we can act."
"Yes, Young Palace Master!"
Humphrey didn't waste any words, answered once, and went to sit down to the side.
…………
in the hotel.
Kotaro Miyazaki swirled the wine in his glass while gazing out the window, a chilling smile playing on his lips.
Inukai Akahiro just came in to report that the ninjas from Japan have arrived, and the assassins from the Black Temple are also nearby, and they may take action tonight.
In his eyes, Pi Yangyang was already a dead man.
Once Pi Yangyang dies, the Guanghui Group will inevitably withdraw from the negotiations for the Meichuan Iron Mine. He is then fully confident that he can defeat Zheng's Ironworks, successfully secure the project, and make a great contribution to the Miyazaki family.
Although he was Miyazaki Akio's favorite grandson, there were still people in the family who were openly and secretly vying with him for more of the family inheritance rights.
Only if he makes enough contributions to the family will Miyazaki Akinoku hand over the entire family to him.
"Inukai-kun, do you think Pi Yangyang will die tonight?"
He became increasingly pleased with himself, but his face remained calm and composed, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.
Inukai Akashō replied respectfully, "He will surely die!"
"Oh, why are you so sure?" Kotaro Miyazaki asked, seemingly intrigued.
Inukai Akahō replied, "The Momochi family's ninjas have already set up an ambush and deliberately created an opening to lure him to the abandoned factory in the suburbs. Given his personality, he will inevitably go there. Momochi Yuichi has already set up an ambush in the abandoned factory, and assassins from the Black God Temple are also lying in ambush nearby."
"Therefore, once he goes to the abandoned factory, no matter how powerful he is, he will have no chance to escape."
Kotaro Miyazaki smiled slightly and nodded. "Yuichi Momochi... one of the top three ninjas of the Iga school, and also a practitioner of ancient martial arts. His self-created Eight Blades of Destruction are unparalleled in the ninja world, possessing extremely strong destructive power..."
His tone was full of admiration.
Suddenly, he remembered someone else and asked in a deep voice, "Where is that Chinese martial artist?"
"I only know that he has arrived in Karl, but I have no idea where exactly. Such masters are always like this—they act alone, and are rarely seen..."
Inukai Akahiro replied with a hint of helplessness.
Kotaro Miyazaki laughed, "Never mind him! Maybe Pi Yangyang will already be dead without him even lifting a finger!"
He took a sip of wine, then suddenly turned around, grabbed a kunai from the table, and slowly pulled it out, a sinister glint in his eyes.
"I really want to see for myself how desperate he was before he died!"
He only thought about it, but he definitely wouldn't actually go.
Even if he was certain that there would be absolutely no danger for him if he went, he still wouldn't go.
He knew very well that only by living could he have the chance to inherit the Miyazaki family's assets; if he died, he would have nothing.
…………
Pi Yangyang drank and ate meat without making a sound, but he could already sense that the tranquil air was filled with murderous intent.
He knew perfectly well that these two ninjas had deliberately exposed themselves to him in order to lure him to a certain place.
There must be an ambush set up in that place, just waiting for him to go there.
Of course he wasn't afraid.
He had seen these so-called ninjas many times before, and they were nothing but rubbish in front of him, a master of both Taoism and martial arts.
He simply didn't know how many people the other side had sent, or where they were lying in ambush.
If I were to separate from Qiu Haitang and the others, would they target them?
Moreover, there are people from the Black Temple spying on us in the shadows; where are they hiding?
The Black Temple's base is located in the heart of Africa, not far from here. If a war were to break out, it's hard to say how many of them would come.
After much deliberation, he decided to proceed with caution.
Even if I were to go, I would first make proper arrangements for Qiu Haitang and the others before I could go with peace of mind.
Just as he was hesitating, Gao Changyuan called.
“Mr. Pi, we just received a notification from Meichuan Iron Mine that they will be negotiating with us tomorrow morning. If you have time now, please come to the hotel so we can discuss the details of tomorrow’s negotiations.”
Upon receiving this call, Pi Yangyang completely abandoned the idea of going with the two ninjas.
Negotiations haven't even started yet, so we can't afford to create any unnecessary complications.
If his impulsiveness affects the entire project, then he is a sinner.
Having figured this out, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'll be right back."
Everyone had almost finished eating, so Pi Yangyang called the landlady to settle the bill, and then they all went back to the hotel together.
The two ninjas opposite were somewhat taken aback when they saw that Pi Yangyang seemed not to have seen them at all.
The two deliberately stood up, revealing the ninja swords hidden in their sleeves, and walked past Pi Yangyang and the others in a very ostentatious manner.
Tie Niu immediately recognized him as a Japanese ninja and exclaimed, "Brother, Ninja Turtle!"
Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "Don't worry about them, they're just tourists."
Two ninjas are trying to provoke Pi Yangyang and then lure him to the abandoned factory.
One of them understood Chinese. Upon hearing Tie Niu's words, his expression turned cold. He glared at Tie Niu and shouted angrily, "Kid, what...what are you saying?"
Tie Niu, naturally unafraid of them, said with some surprise, "You ninja tortoises? Aren't you guys?"
"Bagya Road!"
The ninja roared and threw a powerful punch at Tie Niu.
