Chapter 1042: Chapter 416: Fox Pupils_2 Chapter 1042: Chapter 416: Fox Pupils_2 Yan Fei smiled and said, “This is even simpler. The ink you used to write on that card is special. After just a little bit of time, that special ink will completely evaporate, and the writing on it will of course disappear. The reason you were talking about irrelevant things and making unrelated gestures at that moment was actually to buy time for the special ink to completely disappear…”

A look of sleaze suddenly crossed Yoshimasa Abe's face as he said, “Esteemed guest, you are so familiar with our line of work, you must be part of it too. Since we're all in the same business, why don't we work together and make money instead of sabotaging each other?”

Yan Fei sneered, “Yoshimasa Abe, there's no use pretending anymore, you can't deceive me. I am called the Destroyer, and my purpose today is to destroy this shrine. Yet you set traps on my path, trying to harm me, and now you're still playing the fool in front of me. How could I possibly let you off?”

As it turned out, when Yan Fei was about to enter the shrine's gate, he found several traps made of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi on the ground nearby. If he were careless enough to step into one of these traps, they would instantly be triggered. Once the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi exploded, its power would certainly be much more formidable than that of high-explosive explosives; even Yan Fei, who had a fast healing special ability, would be severely injured in the terrifying blast.

After discovering the traps, Yan Fei halted his advance and observed through a unique perspective using the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. He found that the Spiritual Qi in these traps extended out, converging on Yoshimasa Abe, who was standing by a small stall nearby. According to the properties of this Spiritual Qi, the traps would detonate as soon as Yoshimasa Abe controlled them. It was precisely because he noticed Abe's anomaly that Yan Fei approached him and wasted time talking to him, wanting to find out more about him.

Yoshimasa Abe himself was quite handsome and tall, reaching 180cm, but he looked sleazy and greedy for money, which easily misled people's impressions of him, making them not take him seriously. However, he couldn't possibly deceive Yan Fei, because Yan Fei was highly sensitive to the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, and he noticed subtle fluctuations of it on Abe's body. In other words, this deceiving Yoshimasa Abe turned out to be an unknown, God-Level Expert.

But Yan Fei did not know this deeply hidden God-Level Expert and was unlikely to have any grudge against him. Why, then, would such an Expert lay Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi traps around the shrine and disguise himself to act foolishly here? It was precisely to find out Yoshimasa Abe's true intentions that Yan Fei approached him and exposed his petty scam of swindling money.

Although his true nature was uncovered by Yan Fei, Yoshimasa Abe still had a sleazy look on his face and laughed, “Destroyer, you have your goals, and I have my tasks. Your goal is to destroy the shrine, while my purpose is to protect it. The Spiritual Qi traps on the ground weren't specifically set to target you; they have been there for quite a long time, simply remaining undetonated.”

Then Yoshimasa Abe's face became serious as he said, “The Abe Family has been guarding this shrine for many years, and I don't want anything untoward to happen to it. So if possible, I hope you can spare this shrine. As long as you leave this shrine alone, I won't interfere with anything else you do in Tokyo.”

Yan Fei did not expect Yoshimasa Abe's purpose to be the protection of the shrine, nor did he anticipate that the traps were not specifically meant for him. Since a God-Level Expert was guarding the place, he had to reconsider whether to continue with his plan.

Yan Fei thought for a moment and asked, “Yoshimasa Abe, are you acquainted with Japan's Lieutenant Colonel?”

Yoshimasa Abe replied, “You could say I both know and don't know her.”

Yan Fei inquired, “Why do you say that?”

Yoshimasa Abe explained, “The Lieutenant Colonel is very mysterious, changing her appearance every so often. Even her subordinates might not recognize her real face. Although I've seen her once, who's to guarantee that's her real appearance?”

Yan Fei was taken aback. Yoshimasa Abe, a reclusive expert hidden in the world, and the Lieutenant Colonel, both God-Level Experts, were surprisingly not familiar with each other. However, from Abe's words, he also caught a hint that the Lieutenant Colonel would change her appearance every once in a while. So what did the Lieutenant Colonel actually look like? A person whose true face was unclear even to a God-Level Expert – even if she were standing before him now, he might not be able to recognize her…

Then, out of curiosity, Yoshimasa Abe asked, “Why are you inquiring about the Lieutenant Colonel? That woman dislikes trouble even more than I do. Did she cross you?”

Yan Fei replied, “Several days ago, the Lieutenant Colonel attempted to assassinate Yan Fei on an airplane, and Yan Fei is under my protection. I am here to find the Lieutenant Colonel and kill her. But I have no idea where she is; destroying the shrine is the only way to draw her out and then to kill her.”

Yoshimasa Abe remarked, “As the saying goes, 'Every debt has its debtor, every wrong its wrongdoer.' You should settle your score directly with the Lieutenant Colonel. Why are you targeting this shrine instead?”
