Immediately, the group of four Japanese had reacted to Zhao Yao’s unexpected appearance.
“Hi.”
Following their seemingly polite greeting, their four bodies converged towards Zhao Yao’s position in the blink of an eye. The tasers in their hands were like poisonous serpents surging towards Zhao Yao from all angles, sealing him of any possible escape.
However, Zhao Yao had no intentions of escaping.
“Get lost!” Zhao Yao raised his hand in the air as the words erupted in their ears. Four flat sword auras sprang out of Zhao Yao’s palm and slammed themselves into the Japanese’s bodies, sending them flying off.
Zhao Yao’s temple was at an all-time worst because of these unwelcome visitors arriving at this hour. However, he managed to reign in his anger and chose to release flat sword aura instead of the normal sword aura which would have killed them.
The four Japanese collapsed to the ground as they struggled to breathe normally. With their palms clutched against their chests, they felt as if they had been struck by a giant hammer and were on the verge of suffocating.
However, one of them gritted his teeth and endured the head-splitting pain as he struggled to his feet and dashed forward.
However, Zhao Yao was shocked by his behavior as he pounced towards the shadows lying on the ground instead of Zhao Yao. Then, the magical thing appeared. Somehow, the Japanese morphed into a pool of black fluid and merged with the shadow resting on the ground. Next, he crawled out of Zhao Yao’s shadow and appeared next to him instantly, thrusting the taser into Zhao Yao’s chest.
“You think you’re so cool with your superpower?” Zhao Yao didn’t even bother turning his head around as a flat sword aura emerged from his back and slammed across the man’s belly. The impact lifted the Japanese man off the ground his body crushed against the wall. His body slowly slid to the ground, leaving him writhing in pain.
Zhao Yao rolled his eyes when he noticed the remaining three Japanese struggling to their feet. He raised his hands in the air before balling them into a fist. The deflective field grabbed the water out from the kettle and transformed them into water swords by contracting them at high pressure. The water swords darted across the room and stopped inches away from the Japanese’s chests.
With the ice effects in place, the four water swords started emanating a vicious aura which sent cold chills down their spines. The water sword’s new ice cold appearance caused their chests to tighten with fear.
At this moment, the water swords inched forward and pressed against their chests with their sharp ends. The four Japanese froze on the stop and dared not to move a single inch.
Finally, Zhao Yao let out a loud yawn as he stared at the four Japanese standing opposite him and asked, “Why did you choose to come at this time? Don’t you guys need to sleep as well?”
The Japanese with the shadow abilities was stunned by Zhao Yao’s words. He had never expected such a response from him. However, he immediately regained his consciousness and struggled to converse using his poor Mandarin, “Apostle, are you the one who defeated Shuichi and took Hanako away?”
“Oh, you guys are here for Hanako?” Zhao Yao let out another loud yawn and started rubbing his eyes nonchalantly. It finally dawned on him that he still had a mission to protect Hanako. He had never expected the Japanese side to send their men over here.
The shadow man simply muttered, “You will not be able to escape after kidnapping a member of the Kujyo household, even if you are an apostle. An endless stream of people would come knocking at your door, demanding for Hanoko.”
Suddenly, Hanako’s bedroom door swung open. Apparently, she was awakened by the commotion during the fight. Meanwhile, Baiquan was still lying on his bed, listening to the soothing music blasting out of his headphones.
Hanako took a glance at the man in black lying on the floor and exclaimed, “Are … Are you Hidekazu Sato?”
“Miss. Hanako!” Suddenly, the man’s, who was referred to as Hidekazu Sato, eyes brightened with excitement as he exclaimed, “You are really here! Your brother has already sent men all across China to search for you. Why aren’t you going back?”
Hanako replied, “If you want me to return, you could have done so with just a phone call. You don’t need to send men here to hunt for me.” Then, she cocked her head towards Zhao Yao and explained the situation, “Zhao Yao, this is Hidekazu Sato, the number one fighter in Storm Organization. I heard that he learned his sword techniques from the legends, Yagyu and Hoshino.
When I was young, I heard from my father that many of Storm Organization’s arch-nemesis had gone missing because of this man right here. He is vicious.”
Zhao Yao turned his head back to Sato and noticed him staring at him. Anger seared through Zhao Yao as he exploded with fury, “Are you crazy? Intruding private property at this hour?” Zhao Yao instantly raised his hand and clenched them together. The tasers lying on the ground levitated into the air and flew towards Sato at an incredible speed.
Sato crumbled to the floor and began shuddering violently as the room was blanketed by a chilling whizzing sound.
Zhao Yao threw a death glare at the remaining people and instructed, “The three of you! Go over to the shoe cabinet and put on the shoe covers. I want you to clean up the entire place.”
The three Japanese glanced at Sato who was lying helplessly on the ground before glancing at one another. It was impossible for them to defeat Zhao Yao nor was it possible for them to escape. Hence, they could only comply with his instructions obediently.
Zhao Yao slid Sato a glance but his eyes instantly glittered with excitement when Zhao Yao noticed the golden exclamation mark floating above Sato’s face.
“You Japanese really love to trouble others.” Despite what he said, a giant smile was plastered across Zhao Yao’s face. He slowly walked towards Sato and asked, “Mr. Sato is there anything that I can help you with?”
Hanako recognized this familiar scene and immediately took a few steps back in fear. She whispered into Sato’s ears, “I suggest that you co-operate with him.”
However, as a true Japanese swordsman, Sato would never succumb to threats. He announced, “It’s useless! I’ll not give in no matter …”
Before he could even complete his statement, Zhao Yao had already started jabbing him with the taser. However, his smile evaporated when Sato’s body began shaking violently.
Following the jabs, the golden exclamation mark had disappeared.
“F*ck, what the hell is going on?” Zhao Yao lowered his head and noticed Sato staring at him with his body trembling with fury, or possibly excessive current. Zhao Yao simply picked the taser from the ground and continued jabbing him. His body’s vibration intensified as the anger disappeared from his eyes and was replaced with agony. Suddenly, the golden exclamation mark appeared again.
Zhao Yao stared at that flickering exclamation mark and could not help but muttered, “Why does this guy change his mind so often? Is he a woman?”
He lowered his head and tried speaking in his most patient tone, “How is it? Do you need my help with anything at all? Do not be shy and just speak up. I can’t help you if you keep your mouth shut.”
“Let … Let … Let … Let …”
Zhao Yao cocked his head towards his BOOK and noticed a new mission appearing on one of the pages.
Mission: Let go of the taser!”
Objective: Let go of the taser.
Reward: 10 experience points
Punishment: Nil
Zhao Yao took a glance at Sato’s belly and noticed the taser was still pressed against him. An awkward smile crept up his face as Zhao Yao instantly dropped the taser to the ground, “I’m so sorry. I forgot to take that away.”
Immediately, Zhao Yao had earned 10*2 experience points.
Sato’s body shook with fear as he continued death-glaring Zhao Yao. However, he suddenly noticed a devious smile on Zhao Yao’s face and heard a whisper, “Let’s try it again.”
“Let … Let … Let … Let … Let …”
Zhao Yao burst into laughter when he noticed his favorite punctuation, “You are such a genius!” Zhao Yao then removed the taser from his belly.
10*2 experience points earned.
The entire process repeated again. The anger surging through Sato’s body was interrupted by the taser’s electric shock which caused his body to shake violently.
