Chapter 598: Appear

Poison?

Suzuki Ikuo looked as pale as death, and he broke out of a cold sweat as he stared at Xiao Luo in abject horror. He had not been to Hua nation before, but his impression was that their medical alchemy was extraordinary, and they had expert knowledge of poisons. It was no surprise that he trembled in fear, for he had just swallowed such a poison.

Instinctively, he thrust his fingers into his throat and gagged. He made a desperate attempt to vomit the poison out, but he only expelled gastric juice and the poison pill was nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Luo smiled mirthlessly. “You will bleed from your eyes, ears, nose, and mouth within three days. The pill melts immediately upon entering your mouth, and it’s pointless to try vomiting it out. Don’t bother with flushing your stomach as well, the poison will a.s.similate into your blood vessels quickly and with the help of blood circulation, it would reach every part of your body in no time,” he said.

“Xiao… Xiao Han-kun, I have made a terrible mistake. I should not have insulted the people of Hua nation. I was wrong, please give me the antidote…” Suzuki Ikuo pleaded, kneeling before Xiao Luo without a care about his pride and dignity. It was ironic, as he now looked a different man compared to the arrogance he projected only a few moments ago.

Xiao Luo grimaced and kicked him aside. “Don’t you get my drift? Find that black SUV in three days and I will a.s.sure you stay alive. If not, even the emperor himself cannot save you. If you’re hoping for the hospitals of Ri nation to neutralize the poison, then forget it. You’re wasting your time—even the best hospital in Dongjing can do nothing for you!”

As he finished speaking, he helped Miyazaki Ronjin and Kimura Akino up, and they promptly left the sumo hall.

Xiao Luo’s words devastated Suzuki Ikuo, for he had not expected to find himself in such an unfortunate situation.

A clan member of Inagawa-kai approached and said, “Boss.”

“Shut the h.e.l.l up! Mobilize every member we have and I want you to find that black SUV. I don’t care what it takes. I will reward whoever finds it handsomely!” Suzuki Ikuo roared.

“Yes!”

The clan members of Inagawa-kai roared in unison.

“Xiao Han-kun, are you a kung fu master? The martial art you have applied against the two sumo fighters was ‘Moving a Thousand with Four Ounces’, am I right?” Kimura Akino asked.

“I have a.s.sumed that Hua nation’s kung fu only existed in movies, where the actors fly around about a.s.sisted by wires. So, it’s fake after all and exists in actual life.”

“It’s extraordinary, and I would definitely like to visit Hua nation to learn kung fu. Xiao Han-kun, did you learn your martial arts from the Shaolin Temple?”

After they have left the sumo hall, Kimura Akino didn’t stop asking Xiao Luo questions as he was in awe of the man now. Xiao Luo’s effortless feat in defeating the two sumo wrestlers was impressive. Miyazaki Ronjin was much quieter as he puffed away and remained silent. He only had one thing to complain about: had he known earlier that the sumo fighters were so difficult to deal with, he would not have recklessly rushed up to fight them. He was armed with a gun, after all, so engaging in a physical fight was unnecessary.

“Is that pill real poison?” Miyazaki Ronjin turned around and asked Xiao Luo suddenly.

Xiao Luo shook his head, “No, it’s just a vitamin C pill.”

Hmm?

Both Miyazaki Ronjin and Kimura Akino looked at him in surprise.

Did he just use a mere vitamin pill to fool Suzuki Ikuo successfully? How could that be possible?

“Xiao-san, I am starting to like you a lot! Come, let’s get a drink.” Miyazaki Ronjin said.

“Isn’t drunk driving illegal in Ri nation?” Xiao Luo said.

“Yes.”

Kimura Akino answered eagerly, “In Ri nation, we consider drunk driving a criminal offense and it could amount to even five years of imprisonment. In addition, the police would not only issue a fine to the driver but even the people in the car. And, as for the people in the restaurant who did not stop the driver from drinking—they get fined too. And, if he borrowed the car from someone, the actual car owner could face five years of imprisonment and a fine too.”

“Seriously?”

This piece of information amused Xiao Luo, as in the Hua nation, the worst punishment was detention and the lighter cases would usually end with a fine.

“Yes.” Kimura Akino nodded.

“You are too naïve. I am driving a police car, so tell me, who has the guts to check on me!” Miyazaki Ronjin scowled.

Kimura Akino stubbornly tried to convince him and said, “Miyazaki-san, drunk driving is bad. What if you hit someone accidentally?”

“Boy, don’t jinx it!” Miyazaki Ronjin snarled at him again.

Although Dongjing is a city with bustling nightlife, some places were perpetually in darkness. These spots seemed out of place compared to the well-lit parts of the city. And the small alley where their car was now, was just such place—there were only a few dimly lit lamps here.

After smoking a stick, Miyazaki Ronjin lit another one immediately. However, just as he was looking down at the cigarette, a shadowy figure appeared out of nowhere and walked into the path of their vehicle.

“Be careful!”

Xiao Luo reacted immediately and pulled on the steering wheel to avoid the pedestrian who appeared from nowhere.

Miyazaki Ronjin ignored the falling cigarette as he slammed onto the emergency brake. But it was too late! The person appeared too suddenly, like a silent ghost, with no warning.

BANG!

The car rocked violently as it slammed into the figure, sending it sailing in the air and landing several meters away. It rolled for a few more meters after hitting the ground before it finally stopped.

“We… We’ve hit someone?”

Kimura Akino screamed in panic.

Miyazaki Ronjin was shocked, and then he looked back at Kimura Akino with a look of alarm. He quickly got out of his car to check on the victim. Kimura Akino followed him immediately.

Xiao Luo frowned deeply, and he knew the impact would unquestionably kill the victim. They were driving at a good speed, and the crash could even kill an elephant, let alone a man. Miyazaki Ronjin would undoubtedly find himself in a spot of trouble now.

Xiao Luo got alighted from the car but did not approach the man. He observed the quiet alley and concluded that there couldn’t have been anyone in the alley when they drove by, so how could this man appear out of nowhere? Why would he run toward a moving car head-on? Could he be committing suicide?

“Oh, my G.o.d! Why, isn’t he w.a.n.g Leyou?” Kimura Akino cried.

w.a.n.g Leyou?

Kimura Akino’s words stunned Xiao Luo, as he knew very well about w.a.n.g Leyou. The five cases of missing Hua nation personnel include a person called w.a.n.g Leyou. Wasn’t he kidnapped? What was he doing here now?

He strode over immediately.

Then, something horrifying occurred before all of their eyes. It sent chills down their spines.

Crack, crack, crack…

The hair-raising sound of crackling bones amplified through the quiet alley. w.a.n.g Leyou, who had just been hit by a car, stirred and attempted to get up from the ground.

At that moment, the alley fell into a deathly silence, and the air turned cold.

The alley was in pitch darkness, and not a sound could be heard. The place was eerie, and terror gripped Kimura Akino. It felt like there were millions of ants crawling all over his body, eating every bit of courage he had.

w.a.n.g Leyou struggled up and stood in an unnatural pose, looking like a zombie from a movie. He was not facing them, but the sound of bones crackling sound undoubtedly came from him.

“w.a.n.g Leyou, w.a.n.g Leyou…”

Miyazaki Ronjin tried to call out his name with his choppy Chinese and tapped his shoulder. He had his other hand pressed against the pistol on his waist. He was ready to shoot without hesitation should anything go wrong.

It was incredulous. w.a.n.g Leyou stood up when he should have been dead after getting hit by their car!

Xiao Luo couldn’t believe what he was seeing. It was against the laws of nature. In addition, he could not detect w.a.n.g Leyou’s aura. Whatever was standing over there had no life force and was only a corpse. But how could a corpse stand up on its own?
