Chapter 167: Exposure
Chapter 167: Exposure
Fang Jing spent nearly ten minutes torturing Susaka and his men. After that, he let out a long sigh and felt incredibly satisfied.
These scum did not deserve to live in this world. Sending them to hell as soon as possible was the right choice.
Susaka and his followers could never escape from his grasp.
Fang Jing had been calmly calculating the time. He thought Susaka did not have a noticeable vehicle like a helicopter. The main entrance was blocked by him, so those people could only take a detour through the forest behind the factory.
It rained heavily last night, so the mountain forest was hard to travel through. Their detour speed certainly could not match his own pace. Fang Jing could even run ahead and intercept them in advance.
When he entered the speed state of Inner Ghost Gate, his running speed became terrifyingly fast. Even the cheetah, known for its short-distance explosive speed, seemed to move as slow as a turtle in his eyes.
“First, I’ll make a call to Joel and ask him to prepare a larger vehicle for me.”
He took out a military satellite phone and tried to call Joel. The two confirmed a code word first, and Joel then realized who was calling him.
“You… could it be Mr. Fang Jing? Oh my! You’re still alive…”
“Of course. My mission here is done, but there’s a slight trouble. I need a bigger truck to carry some stuff.”
“Wait, Mr. Fang… don’t tell me Susaka was…”
“Yes. However, I set the factory on fire.”
Fang Jing took a glance and saw the fire was growing bigger with the help of the wind.
“I know Susaka had a safe passage. Let me give you a location. We can meet there.”
After giving the location, he hung up the phone.
“I’ll go back first and check on that guy named Demar, see what condition he’s in now…”
Besides, he might as well take the little girl he picked up along with him.
He pushed off the ground with his foot, and his body burst into extreme speed. He vanished from the spot instantly. After a few leaps and turns, he disappeared without a trace into the dense forest.
————————
(Bastard! Beast! I’ve turned into this state, I can’t even move! Even with regenerative abilities, I can’t escape!)
Affected by the Cadaveric Toxin, only half of Demar’s body remained, a bloody mess. His arms were already twisted off. He guessed it was related to the move the other party used. When that man attacked Yamamaru, black mist like ribbons spread from his palms.
Damn it!
I can’t move!
The main reason he couldn’t move was the several steel rods pierced through his body. That man in the raincoat smashed the wall with his hands, pulled out a few thick steel rods, and “nailed” him to the ground like javelins. He even twisted the front ends of the rods into knots.
Demar had no hands or feet. He could only roll and squirm on the ground using his flesh. He had no way to pull out the thick steel rods, as thick as “javelins,” from his body one by one.
“It seems… in this form, even a Corpse Hound can’t escape!”
Fang Jing swaggered back. He saw Demar pinned to the ground by a row of steel rods and grinned.
“Human, don’t celebrate too soon.”
Demar couldn’t help but scream madly.
“You’re finished! You actually dared to kill Yamamaru! No matter who you are, you’re dead! Yamamaru was a direct descendant of ‘Phantom Jaw.’ They will never let go of any human who kills their direct descendant…”
Yamamaru was truly dead. Demar realized that after Yamamaru was swallowed by the fire, his aura became weaker and weaker.
Now, deep in the fire, even his last trace of aura had disappeared.
Probably Yamamaru had been burned into a pile of charred carbon in the flames.
The destructive power of the fire far exceeded Fang Jing’s fists and kicks. Yamamaru couldn’t escape the fire. Even with strong regenerative abilities, he couldn’t sustain it forever. Before his death, he probably went through the cycle of being burned to death, regenerating, then burned to death again, and regenerating again.
“Stop your nonsense! Shut your rotten mouth!”
Fang Jing couldn’t be bothered to listen. He first kicked Demar’s mouth into a mess, then pressed his palm onto it. Using Secret Luo Hand, he released a large amount of Cadaveric Toxin, sending it all into Demar’s body.
Demar instantly turned from a pile of mangled flesh on the ground into a pile of decayed corpse chunks. The plague poison spread by Secret Luo Hand eroded his flesh, causing him extreme pain and torment. To make it worse, even his mouth was smashed by Fang Jing, so he couldn’t even let out half a sound.
However, for a monster like Demar who fed on humans, Fang Jing didn’t have any extra sympathy.
He brought out the little girl as well, pulled out the steel rods from Demar’s body, found a thick cloth to wrap Demar up, then picked him up and ran all the way, leaving the secret factory that was gradually turning into a sea of fire.
————————
He planned to meet up with Joel first.
This mission went quite smoothly. Susaka and his accomplices were all cleared out.
This also made him feel completely at ease, as if his mind could relax, and his whole body felt light and comfortable.
He held Demar and the little girl under his arms, rode the wind, and dashed swiftly along the mountain road. In less than half an hour, he reached the meeting point.
“Mr. Fang, you’re finally back.”
Joel was both shocked and excited. He didn’t know exactly what had happened, but he had found out that a big fire broke out at Susaka’s secret factory.
Not long after Fang Jing left, the fire further got out of control. The flames kept burning, causing a terrible disaster.
The back of the factory was connected to the forest. If not handled properly, it could start a forest fire.
The local fire department quickly arrived at the scene and began disaster relief.
Even the local police department noticed the situation at the secret factory and sent a large number of officers.
(Susaka and his men were no small-time thugs. All his followers were desperadoes. Plus, they had no shortage of money and weapons. They were even stronger in force than ordinary local gangs. I don’t know how this Mr. Fang managed to do it…)
Although he was puzzled, the fact that Fang Jing came back alive while Susaka and his gang had no news proved a lot.
“Mr. Joel, the vehicle I asked for…”
“Right here. However, I couldn’t find a large truck. This is a supply vehicle from a local provider. I had it wait here for a while.”
Joel took him to a small supply truck.
“That’s fine. But I need to transport the stuff outside Kyushu.”
“That’s simple. I know some professional contractors for shipping goods. However, it will cost quite a bit of money.”
Joel said with a smile, “They are very professional, more reliable than those small-time thugs outside, but their fees are on the high side.”
“Money is not a problem. Please help me arrange it.”
After discussing with Joel, Fang Jing arranged for Demar to be placed in the vehicle. As for the little girl, he decided to find a local Secret Doctor to treat her first.
“Oh, by the way, Mr. Fang, Mr. Higashi Yuantai called. He said he has something to discuss with you.”
Joel handed him a phone.
Fang Jing took the phone and heard a familiar voice from the other end.
The call was indeed from Higashi Yuantai.
“Nishizuka, how did things go?”
“No problem. Susaka and his men are all dead, but I caused quite a scene.”
“As long as there are no troublesome loose ends, don’t worry too much.”
Higashi Yuantai wasn’t too worried. He said calmly, “Susaka and his men offended too many people. No one can trace it back to us. Moreover, with his death, just to grab the vacant market share, Kyushu will be in chaos… Oh, and there’s one more thing I need to tell you.”
“…What is it?”
Fang Jing sensed there was more to Higashi Yuantai’s words.
“I miscalculated a bit. At Okamoto’s Information Broker, someone might have leaked your information.”
Higashi Yuantai said in a deep voice, “Probably there’s a traitor inside the Information Broker, selling information to both sides. I suspect that by the time you reached Susaka’s place, the other party had already sent out the assassination intel.”
“…”
Fang Jing didn’t expect this twist—someone at the Information Broker leaked the assassination information to Susaka.
“It seems we need to teach them a lesson.”
“Okamoto’s place is not our enemy. Only a part of them is causing trouble.”
Higashi Yuantai lowered his voice and said, “The ones colluding with Susaka are only a small group. Don’t go too far. Mr. Joel is trustworthy. If you have any questions, you can talk directly with him.”
Fang Jing put down the phone. He narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
In front of Joel, this young man who looked like an ordinary high school student instantly turned into an extremely dangerous beast, emitting an intimidating aura.
Joel felt a chill creeping up his spine. He couldn’t help but shift his feet slightly and take a step back.
“Mr. Joel, you should know some information, right?”
Suddenly, Fang Jing’s voice rang out. At this moment, Joel also breathed a sigh of relief. The strange aura disappeared from Fang Jing. He restrained his previous fierce killing intent and became that seemingly gentle young man again.
“Yes.”
Joel nodded and then said, “The one who leaked the information to Susaka is most likely the local person in charge, ‘Granny Liu’—that old woman you encountered before.”
Granny Liu was, of course, just that old woman’s alias. No one knew her real name.
She was probably violating the principles of the secret organization ‘Okamoto’ Information Broker by secretly exchanging messages with Susaka.
This act of selling one piece of information to two parties wasn’t her first time.
