Chapter 543 Who Is More Foolish?

At the sight of that stunning figure, Daquan Longyi and his subordinates felt their eyes light up instantly!

Even with Murakami Haiken’s level of composure, the sight of the infinitely sensual Victoria made his heart stir involuntarily.

Still, he coughed several times in succession and steadied himself.

“What a beautiful woman.” Daquan Longyi chuckled, his eyes fixed on Victoria’s chest.

It seemed that even among those of equal rank as chunin, the ability to control desire varied greatly — Daquan Longyi and Murakami Haiken were clearly not on the same level.

“Are you handsome gentlemen in need of some company?”

Victoria made herself right at home, sitting down directly beside Murakami Haiken.

With her sharp eyes, she had already figured out that this man was the most dangerous one.

Inhaling the fragrance that drifted into his nostrils, Murakami Haiken said nothing.

“We really are without company — how about you keep us entertained?”

Daquan Longyi rose to his feet, grabbed Victoria’s hand, and pulled her up!

“This handsome guy is so strong.”

Victoria let out a soft yelp and stood up, saying, “Can’t you hold yourself back? Why don’t we find a room to chat?”

“Of course, no problem.” Daquan Longyi chuckled, while gesturing to his subordinates, “But I like to bring my brothers along for everything I do — that includes when it comes to women.”

The words were utterly shameless, and the several warriors and ninjas under him all broke into laughter. It was obvious this wasn’t the first time they’d done something like this.

Murakami Haiken let out a cold snort to express his displeasure.

Daquan Longyi clapped him on the shoulder, “It’s rare to run into such a pretty girl. We’ll make it quick, and then come back to discuss our plans.”

Murakami Haiken said nothing, his face dark as iron, clearly in a foul mood.

In his view, with a mission this critical at stake, the fact that anyone could still have the mind to fool around with women was utterly incomprehensible.

The subordinates from Murakami’s unit, though equally tempted, held their impulses in check out of deference to their direct superior’s authority.

Victoria had originally wanted to lead all of them into the private room, to avoid causing a scene in the public area. If these eastern ninjas were to take Huaxia citizens hostage, things would become extremely difficult to handle!

She had assumed that the vast majority of eastern men were lecherous, but to her surprise, Murakami Haiken simply wasn’t taking the bait — which made things somewhat tricky.

Victoria raised her head and glanced in Su Rui’s direction. She spotted him among the crowd, casually gesturing toward her. The meaning was simple — proceed with the original plan, and leave everything else to him.

“Murakami, don’t keep that grim look on your face — come join in the fun. You always need to relax a little before a big battle.” Daquan Longyi had long since lost his patience.

“Fine, do what you want, but no more than half an hour! We still have serious business to attend to!” Murakami Haiken said.

“Half an hour — isn’t that a bit too short for us?” Daquan Longyi and his subordinates roared with laughter.

After the group left with Victoria, Murakami Haiken stood with his face dark as iron, saying furiously, “A bunch of good-for-nothings who can only ruin things!”

Since he and Daquan Longyi were of equal rank, neither could control the other — he could only let them run wild.

“Once this mission is complete, I will report everything truthfully to Lord Inamoto!” Murakami Haiken said coldly.

“Hey, beauty, don’t walk so fast — your brothers can barely keep up.”

Daquan Longyi stared at Victoria’s sexy figure ahead, extending his crimson tongue to lick his lips.

Truth be told, his loyalty to Yamamoto Taichiro was nowhere near as strong as one might imagine. These days, their bushido spirit was nowhere near as pure as it once had been. Everyone had their own selfish agenda, and sacrificing your life — the most important thing you had — for someone else’s cause was nothing short of idiotic.

Whether ninja or warrior, everyone needed to enjoy life!

“Hurry up, I can’t wait any longer.”

Victoria suppressed the urge to gag and flashed an irresistibly seductive smile.

A smile like that was enough to steal the very souls of those few ninjas!

“Got to treat myself good tonight!” Since arriving in Huaxia, after holding it in for so many days, Daquan Longyi could barely stop himself from undoing his belt!

“It’s this room, come on in.”

Victoria waved her hand and slipped into a private room.

The eastern men exchanged glances and grinned, then crowded in eagerly after her.

By then, Victoria was already seated on the sofa, striking a seductive pose.

“What are you waiting for? Shut the door and let’s get started!” Daquan Longyi called out.

“Sure!”

One subordinate rushed over excitedly and shut the door — only to find someone standing behind it!

He was just about to cry out when a flash of cold light filled his vision!

The door of the private room slammed shut, and at the same moment, an impossibly sharp dagger effortlessly sliced open his throat!

This low-ranking eastern ninja never even had the chance to make a sound before he felt cool air rushing wildly through his severed throat — blood spurting in torrents from that horrifying wound!

The other eastern ninjas hadn’t noticed anything wrong with the man at all, because their eyes were entirely fixed on the alluring Victoria!

Su Rui grabbed the slit-throated ninja by the collar and hurled him forcefully to the side!

At the same instant, he flung both hands outward!

A flash of cold light flew from his right hand, driving straight into the back of one ninja’s heart!

Another flash burst from his left hand, piercing clean through the chest of a third man!

Before either of them could cry out, Su Rui had already stepped forward, gripped both weapons with his hands, and yanked them free!

Two streams of blood instantly sprayed across the wall!

A full second later, the two men — reacting too slowly — finally began to let out agonized screams!

The last ninja besides Daquan Longyi finally snapped to his senses. Caught completely off guard by the sudden attack, he hadn’t even had time to draw the dagger at his waist before he lunged at Su Rui!

Against Su Rui, an opponent like this was simply no match — he shot out a kick and sent the man crashing hard into the wall!

Then the blood-dripping four-edged military stiletto struck again. The divine weapon forged by Zernikov himself disregarded every obstacle, easily piercing through the ninja’s chest and pinning him deep into the wall!

Now, only one remained on the eastern side — chunin Daquan Longyi!

And all of this had taken less than five seconds!

As the strongest among them, Daquan Longyi hadn’t made a rash move. He pressed his back against the wall, maintaining a guarded stance, and said, “Who exactly are you people?”

“We’re the people who are going to take your life.”

At some unknown moment, a pistol had appeared in Victoria’s hand, fitted with a suppressor, its barrel aimed directly between Daquan Longyi’s brows!

Daquan Longyi clenched both fists, a look of grave seriousness crossing his eyes.

His eyesight was quite sharp — when Su Rui had killed the last man moments ago, he had seen it clearly. That kick and that stab had looked casual and effortless, yet they already belonged to the realm of absolute mastery, the kind of ease that only comes after reaching the very peak!

Having passed the rigorous chunin trials, Daquan Longyi had a very clear sense of his own abilities. In an all-out fight, he might perhaps manage to hold his own against this man — but he couldn’t forget that standing right beside him was a beautiful British woman pointing a gun at him with deadly intent!

Damn it all — he finally meets a top-tier woman like this, and not only can’t he touch her, he almost loses his life in the process!

“What exactly do you want?” Daquan Longyi was sharp — he knew that since Su Rui and Victoria hadn’t killed him yet, it meant there was something about him they could use. If he could leverage that to negotiate or stall for time, he might not be unable to get away alive!

“Simple enough.”

Su Rui said, “Tell us the whereabouts of everyone in your group, and I’ll let you leave.”

Because of the dim lighting, combined with Su Rui’s disguise, Daquan Longyi hadn’t recognized him at first glance. Only now did he realize that the man before him was the very target he had come to find!

He hadn’t even gone to kill him yet — and here the man had already come to his door!

“If I tell you everything, I can truly leave?” Daquan Longyi asked tentatively, a crafty glint flashing in his eyes.

In the few seconds that had just passed, his quick-working mind had already run through countless calculations, and he had swiftly arrived at the decision most advantageous to himself!

“Of course you can. There’s no reason for me to go back on my word.” Su Rui said coldly, “Besides, you’re not capable of killing me — so why would I bother deceiving you?”

“Alright, I’ll talk.”

Daquan Longyi’s decisiveness far exceeded Su Rui’s expectations. Su Rui had originally thought that interrogating someone like this would be hopeless without resorting to some form of coercion — it seemed the eastern bushido spirit was long gone from what it once was.

“We came to Huaxia this time under the personal command of upper ninja Lord Inamoto Junichi, with six chunin and a number of genin. I am one of those six chunin, and Murakami Haiken outside is also a chunin.” As Daquan Longyi spoke, he kept his eyes fixed directly on Su Rui’s, doing his best not to let his gaze waver in the slightest.

And yet, the harder he tried, the more Su Rui knew exactly what he was planning.

These eastern warriors and ninjas truly needed to brush up on their psychology.

“The address.”

“Lord Inamoto is staying at No. 207 Huanhua Road in the suburbs of Ninghai. From the outside it looks like an ordinary residence, but it’s actually the Yamamoto Group’s secret base in Huaxia.” Daquan Longyi said.

“And the means of contact?”

“Lord Inamoto never uses a phone or mobile. If you want to report progress to him, it has to be done in person.”

Victoria toyed with the gun in her hand, smiling at Daquan Longyi the whole time. In the eyes of this Sun Temple Golden Mask warrior, this eastern chunin might have decent combat ability, but his willpower was truly nothing to speak of — utterly selfish to the very core.

“How am I supposed to know whether what you’re saying is true or false?” Su Rui said with a cold laugh.

“That, I wouldn’t know. Whether you believe me or not, the choice is yours.” Daquan Longyi tossed the question right back to Su Rui — this guy was clearly very cunning.

“Then I’ll just go ahead and choose not to believe you.”

With that, Su Rui’s body suddenly became like a gust of wind, closing the distance in an instant, driving a heavy punch straight at Daquan Longyi’s face!

The latter seemed to have anticipated Su Rui’s sudden move all along — the moment Su Rui acted, his body was already flying backward at high speed, and without missing a beat, he grabbed a stool and hurled it at Victoria!

It seemed the lightness skills of eastern ninjas were truly formidable. Before Su Rui could even catch up to Daquan Longyi, the man had already smashed through the window and escaped!

“Goodbye, you foolish Huaxia people!”

Even as he leaped through the window, Daquan Longyi didn’t forget to leave behind an insulting parting remark.

Unfortunately for him, he couldn’t see that Su Rui and Victoria had already stopped moving entirely — neither of them had ever had any real intention of stopping him!

“I wonder who’s really the foolish one.”

Su Rui gave a cold smile. His words had barely left his lips when a burst of fire instantly crossed several hundred meters and blew open Daquan Longyi’s chest.
