“Miss Meijia, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation,” Fujita Miki tried to remain as calm as possible.
Benqiao Meijia shook her head, “I don’t know anything. It just went dark before my eyes, and then when I woke up, the streets were filled with dead people.”
Fujita Miki looked at the celebrity from Country R, frowning.
She had asked several times already, but this person just wouldn’t say anything.
Having no choice, she stood up and walked into another room.
At that moment, Aoyama Hoshino was questioning Songmu Feihua.
“Miss Songmu, I think you should be aware of our methods, so for your safety, please tell us everything!” Aoyama Hoshino said.
Songmu Feihua’s face was pale as death, and her eyes were lifeless as if she hadn’t heard a thing.
Aoyama Hoshino frowned, “Songmu Feihua!”
“Ah!” Songmu Feihua was startled suddenly.
“You are a first-class expert in the Martial Arts World, what in the world scared you to this extent?” Aoyama Hoshino leaned forward, peering at Songmu Feihua, and said softly.
A look of terror flashed in Songmu Feihua’s eyes, “Don’t ask anymore, I won’t say a thing!”
“Oh? It seems you might be underestimating our ninja methods,” Aoyama Hoshino revealed a cruel smile.
Songmu Feihua’s complexion turned ghastly, yet she said resolutely, “Even if you kill me, I won’t say it.”
Songmu Feihua knew very well what the special intelligence division did and understood that in Country R, one must never provoke ninjas.
But if the person in question was Xue An, then she would rather offend these ninjas.
Because that man… was a being to make even ghosts and gods tremble in fear!
Anger surfaced on Aoyama Hoshino’s face, and he was about to make a move.
Fujita Miki walked in, saying coldly, “Forget it! We can find out through investigation, if she doesn’t want to talk, then so be it.”
Aoyama Hoshino rubbed his hands awkwardly, chuckled, “Actually, I only wanted to punish her a little!”
Fujita Miki looked at Songmu Feihua, “Miss Songmu, I don’t know what you’ve experienced that has frightened you so, but since someone dares to commit such atrocities in Country R, they should be ready to face the wrath of our nation-protecting ninjas!”
Songmu Feihua gently shook her head, “Senior Miki, I know your reputation, but I still want to advise you all, don’t look into it. That person… is not someone you can afford to provoke!”
Hearing this, Aoyama Hoshino couldn’t help but give a wry laugh.
“Unprovokable? I am becoming more and more interested now. Is there anyone that our Mujina Ninja Clan cannot provoke?”
As he spoke, pride was written all over Aoyama Hoshino’s face.
Songmu Feihua bowed her head and fell silent.
Meanwhile, at his home in Tokyo, Xue An took out a Primordial Essence Elixir specifically refined for An Yan.
“Yan’er, this was specially prepared for you when I was making Primordial Essence Elixirs for Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian! Now you can take it,” he said.
An Yan took the elixir, swallowed it in one go, and then blinked.
“I don’t feel anything!”
As soon as the words left her mouth, An Yan felt a scorching heat traveling through her chest; at the same time, her aura began to climb swiftly.
Boom! A formidable aura burst forth.
Zhenren!
In just a few breaths’ time, An Yan had broken through a realm, reaching the Zhenren Realm directly.
If this progress were made known, it would utterly shock anyone who heard it.
Xue An was also surprised; he had never expected that An Yan would break through just with a single Primordial Essence Elixir.
Could it be that his wife was one of those one in a billion cultivation geniuses?
“It’s such a strange feeling!” An Yan looked down at her hands.
“It’s like I have endless strength!”
As An Yan spoke, she extended a hand and gently twisted Xue An’s waist.
Hiss.
Xue An felt a massive force hit him and couldn’t help but grimace in pain.
An Yan looked carefully, and then quickly let go of her hand.
“Honey, I’m sorry. Does it really hurt that much?”
Xue An rubbed his waist and said with a wry smile, “What do you think?”
“Hehe, it’s because every time I twisted your arm before, you always pretended to be in so much pain. Now, you don’t have to pretend!” An Yan said with a smile.
Xue An didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
Women… sometimes they really are incomprehensible.
“Honey, now that everything is done, should we go home?” An Yan asked.
Xue An nodded, “Tomorrow, we’ll leave tomorrow!”
But when Takeuchi Kiyoko came back, she brought back news that Country R had just issued a ban and locked down all airports.
Xue An frowned upon hearing this. Was he supposed to fly his whole family directly back from Country R?
“Forget it, since there’s nothing to do right now, let’s just treat it as a vacation and stay for a few more days!” An Yan suggested.
Xue An nodded.
Over the next few days, Xue An led his wife and children to explore and have fun.
He took them around all the fun places in Tokyo.
Despite the major incident, Tokyo, after all, was an international city and remained bustling and lively.
Meanwhile, as Xue An was busy taking his family sightseeing, Fujita Miki finally found through various message analyses that someone had also been at Sensoji Temple on the day in question.
Xue An.
When she saw this name, her heart sank.
As a member of the intelligence department, she of course knew about Xue An’s exploits.
But could he have been the one behind this?
Aoyama Hoshino slapped his chest and assured, “Alright Miki, now that we have a suspect, leave the rest to me!”
Before Fujita Miki could even respond, he had already darted away.
Fujita Miki stomped her foot, “That reckless idiot! He better not cause any trouble!”
At that moment, Xue An was watching TV at home with his two daughters.
An Yan was playing video games with great delight.
She had recently gotten hooked on console games from Country R, especially various horror games, which she found both terrifying and irresistible.
“Oh my!” An Yan was startled by a ghost that suddenly appeared in the game and subconsciously grabbed Xue An’s clothes.
Xue An watched with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
“If you’re so scared, just don’t play!”
An Yan shook her head and said resolutely, “No way, I want to see how scary this game can get!”
Then An Yan asked in a pleading tone, “Honey, come sit closer to me!”
Xue An had no choice but to move a bit closer.
Just as the family was enjoying this rare moment of warmth,
an untimely voice came through.
“What an enviable family!”
Xue An frowned and said coldly, “Come out!”
“Hehe, why so angry? Doesn’t your Huaxia put a lot of emphasis on being a country of etiquette?”
As he spoke, Aoyama Hoshino’s figure emerged from thin air.
His entrance excited the two young girls who exclaimed, “Is it a ninja?”
Aoyama Hoshino bowed politely to Xue Xiang and Nian Nian, “Two beautiful ladies, yes, I am indeed a ninja from the grand Country R!”
Then he turned and smiled at Xue An.
“Mr. Xue, there are a few matters we need your cooperation to investigate. Please come with me!”
