Chapter 769: The game begins (Part Two)
Matsushima Raiko hesitated for a moment.
“You wouldn’t…”
Xu Cheng looked up at her. “Wouldn’t what? Do you want to get off the train at this point?”
Matsushima Raiko shook her head. “No.”
Xu Cheng: “Then do your thing, you did well with Hiroshi Shitsuno’s body so keep it up. I’ll show you that even the most remarkable people in this world are actually just ants.”
After saying that, he stood up and walked to his room.
Matsushima Raiko followed him into the room.
Xu Cheng’s brows furrowed. “What are you doing?”
“Don’t you need me to serve you? I can do everything.” Matsushima Raiko’s whole face blushed red, and she subconsciously started to unbutton her shirt.
Xu Cheng said indifferently, “Get out.”
He then closed the door directly behind him, leaving Matsushima Raiko in the doorway gritting her teeth.
A few days later.
The dinner party held in one of Sumitomo’s resort hotels went on as scheduled in downtown Tokyo. The people who came to congratulate them were all big names in the Wei Nation business world.
In the middle of the banquet, the head of Sumitomo went up to the stage to give a speech to thank the guests.
His headset suddenly failed to work, and then a pre-recorded video started to play on the big screen behind him, showing a man dressed in all black.
“Hello, everyone.”
The guests in the room who were socializing froze for a moment, because they didn’t see the head of the Sumitomo family speak. It was instead the person on the big screen behind him.
The head of Sumitomo noticed a voice coming from behind him. He turned to look at the big screen and froze for a moment before he looked at the resort manager.
The manager quickly ran backstage to see what was going on.
That was when the person in the said, “First of all, I would like to congratulate the Sumitomo Corporation for accepting his position as the Lord of Asia. Why should I congratulate him? Because I want to announce that your time of death has come. I am a member of the Deviant Corp, the same Deviant Corp that killed Okami. I’m here to send a message, that whoever becomes a Lord will also become our target. In addition, we will kill all the other core members as well. Don’t you guys think it is glorious to join this organization? Then let’s play a game where whoever joins will die by my hands!”
The Sumitomo family head was furious that someone stole his spotlight.
He turned around and shouted at the screen, “How dare you talk like that? You want to fight with us? Save your breath.”
He had just taken the position, so obviously he had to defend himself.
Some of the other core members also took this opportunity to show their loyalty and came forward, “Yes, what is this Deviant thing? I’ve never even heard of it.”
Behind the scenes, Xu Cheng made a note of these guys who spoke up, and if he guessed correctly, they were probably also members of the Capital Society.
That certainly saved him some time when they came forward, because he still didn’t know a list of members yet.
Those who came to the banquet also involved few political figures because after all, since politics and capitalism went together in this country.
The police department chief, who had just been fired, shouted, “You’re so sneaky. Do you dare to come out and face us? There are guards everywhere, let’s see if you manage to kill someone!”
Just after he finished, a lightning bolt struck down on the stage, killing the head of Sumitomo on the spot.
Some of the ladies in the crowd screamed shrilly as they all immediately scattered to escape.
Those who were cursing before were stunned by the sudden death of the Sumitomo head.
That was when the video screen changed again, and a symbol of the Deviant Corp appeared!
The police department chief ran up to the stage to check on the head of Sumitomo’s family, and cold sweat dripped down his back when he saw the burnt corpse.
