Chapter 240 - Scheming Against Japan (II)
Chapter 240: Scheming Against Japan (II)
Other than that, he could not show that he cared too much about the method to break through to the master realm. He had to make the other party offer him benefits when asking him for help. Otherwise, he would be easily controlled by others.
The discussions around him interrupted Chen Yiming’s thoughts.
“It’s about Japan?”
Chen Yiming looked up and saw a sign hanging high by the roadside.
The Asou clan from Kobe City had come to Jiangnan City to recruit martial arts experts. They even wanted to marry off the beloved daughter of the current clan head to the strongest warrior.
The knights from the Never-ending Day Empire had just left, and now a clan from Japan was here.
Their goal was obvious. They wanted to strengthen their clan as much as possible to deal with the consequences resulting from the nuclear waste disposal in the otherworld.
“With my current level, if I make a move in the Daxia Kingdom, I’m afraid I won’t be able to cover it up if I cause a problem. However, it shouldn’t be a problem in Japan.”
Chen Yiming’s eyes lit up. He had set his sights on Japan.
With Japan’s overall strength, it could just barely be considered a large country on the blue planet, but compared to the Daxia Kingdom, Russia, and the Sam Nation, it was undoubtedly much weaker.
Thinking of this, he quickly walked to the Benson Club mentioned by the signboard.
…
The Benson Club was owned by a large Japanese company in Jiangnan City. The interior was decorated in a Japanese style, and the main color was that of unprocessed wood.
At the door, a receptionist in a kimono was in charge of welcoming the visitors. She had a warm smile and a petite figure, and had a homely feel.
At this moment, many people were entering the club under the welcome of the receptionist in a kimono.
This meant that not only did the Asou clan have some strength, but also had something that could attract people to them. This piqued Chen Yiming’s interest.
He refused the guidance of the receptionist and entered the club alone.
A middle-aged man and a girl in red were seated at the head of the hall.
The middle-aged man had a serious expression on his face. In front of him was a katana. This was the most common weapon in Japan, and the blade shone with a dazzling light.
The girl in red had an enchanting figure. There was a pink petal mark on her left cheek, making one’s gaze focus there at first glance. It accentuates the girl’s fair skin.
There were 20 to 30 people gathered around them. From their auras, they were at least at the warrior realm. Chen Yiming hid in the crowd and observed the situation.
“This is the Benson Club. On behalf of the Asou clan, I, Asou Nishiko, welcome all of you.”
Most of the people who were interested had arrived. The corners of the girl’s mouth curled up as she smiled.
Her seductive expression had immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Chen Yiming was momentarily dazed, but he returned to normal the next moment.
He felt a strange force that had affected him for an instant, but it was too weak to control him. It was like a piece of tofu colliding with a rock.
There was definitely something strange about the Asou clan. A hint of amusement appeared in his eyes.
“Miss Asou, what conditions must be met to make you my wife?”
A burly man spoke up with his eyes slightly red. He went straight to the point.
Other than Chen Yiming, no one else seemed to feel that something was amiss. The woman in red had drawn out their true intentions.
“The Asou clan is the number one clan in Kobe City. It has a history of more than 100 years, and is not inferior to even the large clans in Kyoto City… As a famous clan in Japan, you can rest assured that we will not treat anyone unfairly.”
Asou Nishiko smiled as she provided the introductions.
After Chen Yiming heard this, he realized that by introducing the clan’s history the girl in red was saying that the Asou clan was very powerful, but she didn’t mention any of the actual conditions.
However, not only did the surrounding warriors not notice that anything was amiss, but they also fell into an inexplicable state of excitement. It was similar to when dogs were rewarded with snacks.
“Miss Asou, don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you.”
The burly man took the lead and knelt down as he promised.
Immediately after, the others knelt down and made similar promises.
For a moment, it was as if these people had completely lost the ability to think for themselves. As long as the girl in red did not make any particularly ridiculous requests, these people would act as she wished under the control of the strange power.
“Uh…”
Chen Yiming felt awkward and he couldn’t go on with the pretense anymore.
Everyone had knelt down, and he was the only one left standing.
“You’re actually fine!”
Asou Nishiko’s cold gaze landed on Chen Yiming.
Her gaze was filled with killing intent. If she let this unaffected person go, the Asou clan would probably not be able to leave the Daxia Kingdom.
The moment she finished speaking,
the minds of the people who were affected by the strange power actually seemed to clear up a little.
As Chen Yiming was one of them, his abnormal behavior made them subconsciously reflect on the situation.
“This weak child at the disciple realm is here to cause trouble.”
Asou Nishiko quickly tried to salvage the situation and explained to everyone.
Hearing the girl’s explanation, the hint of clarity disappeared. Everyone distanced themselves from Chen Yiming and looked at him with contempt.
He was a young man who looked like he had just reached adulthood, and had a thin figure and a delicate face. He was subconsciously treated as a weakling.
“A technique that can enslave people?” Chen Yiming asked curiously.
The Daxia Kingdom focused on pure martial arts, and he had never seen such a thing before.
However, his words were clearly not comparable to the weight of the words from the girl in red. They did not affect the people who were under the influence of the strange power at all.
Asou Nishiko did not answer. Instead, she signaled for the middle-aged man beside her to make a move.
The middle-aged man who looked like a guard grabbed the katana in front of him and stood up.
In an instant, a strong killing intent spread out. Under the reflection of light on the blade, the entire hall seemed to be wrapped in a cold sword shadow.
He was a katana expert, but compared to Chen Yiming’s Sword Aura, he was too weak. Perhaps he would be able to withstand the Sword Aura if he increased his strength by tens of thousands of times.
Chen Yiming felt that he was being too low-key.
Although he had stepped in to provide support on two battlefields and became famous in East Lake City, he was only a consultant of the provincial security bureau. The disciples of the Myriad Phenomena Sect were not respected as much as the inner court heads.
However, Jiangnan province would not publicize his status as a consultant, so his deeds were only known to a small number of people.
“Iaido Slash!”
The middle-aged man drew his katana at lightning speed. A stream of internal force swept out, heading straight for Chen Yiming.
The air along the way was easily cut apart, and the sound of rushing wind could be heard. It was as if it had entered a realm where everything could be cut down.
A smile appeared on Asou Nishiko’s face.
The middle-aged man was her uncle, the second strongest member of the Asou clan. He had made a name for himself in Japan with his Iaido Slash technique and had almost never lost a fight, other than to a few people who had completed the internal force fusion.
This was why he had been sent to the Daxia Kingdom with Asou Nishiko to ensure that the Asou clan’s plan would not be derailed.
“What a pity. He’s a katana expert who has mastered the transformation of internal force,” Chen Yiming said calmly as a small burst of his Sword Aura shot out in response.
If others wanted to kill him just because of a disagreement, would he let them?
Only those with strength were qualified to sit down and talk things out patiently. Otherwise, no one would even give them a chance to explain themselves.
“Crack!”
The stream of internal force inexplicably shattered in the air.
The middle-aged man immediately felt a chill run down his spine, and his eyes widened.
However, just as he was about to execute a second slash reflexively, the internal force protecting his chest shattered like a mirror, and a fist-sized hole appeared in his chest.
“Bang!”
The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood.
The light quickly went out from his eyes, and his body fell to the ground.
From the beginning to the end, it was as if someone at the warrior realm was bullying an opponent at the disciple realm. The opponent was completely unable to fight back.
