Chapter 1429: Chapter 1478: Interrogation

Li Yifei didn’t know the thoughts or events concerning the police. He stood silently in the hospital room, his face still calm, eyes fixed on the stocky ninja lying in bed, bandaged, with casts and tubes attached. The ninja glared back at him without a word.

Both sides were observing each other. The stocky ninja was somewhat afraid of Li Yifei; his fighting style yesterday was too brutal. At the same time, the stocky ninja couldn’t understand how Li Yifei suddenly became an Innate Expert. The intelligence had described Li Yifei as merely a captain of a special forces unit, who had stirred up trouble in Japan then successfully escaped, but the ninja felt that was due to the Yamaguchi Group’s internal conflict giving Li Yifei a chance.

So, after coming to Huaxia, he and the tall, thin ninja disregarded everything. The attitude of the Lin family and Chen Family towards them made them feel superior. But they ended up being violently beaten by Li Yifei last night.

Upon waking up, he couldn’t figure out why last night’s outcome was as it was. Shouldn’t he and the tall, thin ninja have brutally beaten Li Yifei? How did it become life-and-death unknown for the tall, thin ninja, and he himself nearly half-disabled, all his strength gone?

Thinking like this, the stocky ninja’s gaze wandered slightly.

And Li Yifei? He just stood there, casually looking at the stocky ninja, until the ninja’s gaze started to avoid him. Then Li Yifei chuckled lightly and said, "An Innate Expert? Yet so useless. You really disgrace that title."

The stocky ninja snorted and said, "You just got lucky."

"Maybe, but for two Innate Experts to be like this really makes one doubt. Let’s hear it, spill everything you know." Li Yifei took a step closer, casually finished his sentence, suddenly released his aura, his gaze turned colder, "If you won’t speak, you can be buried with the tall, thin one in Huaxia!"

"I don’t understand what you’re saying! I don’t know anything. Inumaru and I came to Huaxia to kill you." The stocky ninja shook his head, raising his voice, "Li Yifei, Inumaru and I have failed, but we have dignity. Dare to act rashly, you’ll surely face retribution!"

Li Yifei raised his hand, pointed at the stocky ninja in the hospital bed, lifted his brows and said, "Retribution? You talk to me about retribution? Haha, countless Japanese have died by my hand, and you’re the only one talking about retribution. But stop pretending to be tough. Your heartbeat is half as fast as before, feeling guilty? Yanagio Inujiro is a bit overly ambitious, sending you two garbage to kill me?"

"Uh? What?" The stocky ninja saw Li Yifei take another step closer after speaking, his heart skipped a beat, hurriedly said, "Yanagio Inujiro... How do you know my mentor?"

In a flash, thoughts raced through the stocky ninja’s mind. He hadn’t intended to mention his mentor, especially since his plan failed; revealing his mentor would provoke Huaxia’s intervention. But Li Yifei directly mentioned his mentor’s name; could Inumaru have already spoken? Thinking this, the ninja grew more uneasy.

Li Yifei squinted once more, then asked, "Yanagio Inujiro, translated into Chinese, this name is somewhat amusing, Inujiro, haha. Your mentor is quite unqualified, raising two pieces of trash."

The stocky ninja’s face suddenly showed anger, shouting, "Don’t insult my mentor! Li Yifei, a warrior can be killed but not humiliated. I’ve been defeated now, you can kill or torture me at will. But you absolutely cannot insult my mentor, or I won’t let you go even as a ghost."

Li Yifei raised his hand, tapped a few points on the stocky ninja, then said, "Rest. Killing you is too easy; I won’t let you die easily. But if you’re willing to confess, I might spare your life."

The stocky ninja tried to remain tough, but his body soon responded. A stream of True Qi coursed inside him like a worm, twisting, gnawing at his meridians, causing an unbearable pain, resulting in him screaming out after mere seconds.

The policemen outside the door from Mile City hadn’t gone far. The hospital room was soundproof, yet they instantly heard the wretched cries. They exchanged glances, uncertain of what was happening inside, but it wasn’t Li Yifei’s voice for sure.

They looked at each other and, with mutual understanding, walked farther away, not wanting to arouse suspicion of eavesdropping or peeking.

Li Yifei folded his arms, remained silent, watching the stocky ninja thrash violently on the bed like a snake severed in half, yet utterly powerless, as his acupoints were sealed, unable to struggle fiercely.

After a period of agony, the stocky ninja calmed down, drenched in sweat, face pale from the pain. He wanted to curse Li Yifei viciously but dared not, Li Yifei’s composure only intensifying his sense of insecurity.

Li Yifei furrowed his brow, "Can you talk now?"

The stocky ninja moved his mouth slightly, neither refuting nor agreeing, reluctant to endure such inhuman torment again.

"Yanagio Inujiro is Inumaru’s and my mentor. Last time, your rampage in Japan was too fierce. Many elders pleaded for the mentor to come out and punish you. But the mentor can’t come to Huaxia, so he sent us to Huaxia to find you. If we could deal with you, we’d kill you. If not, we’d bring you to Japan."

"Continue."

"Continue... After arriving in Huaxia, I contacted a few families close to us with Inumaru, and it turned out that the Lin family also wanted to deal with you. They asked us to change our approach, which led to the kidnapping incident. However, your investigation was too quick, so the Lin family’s plan couldn’t be carried out. We never expected you to be so strong, strong enough to defeat both of us... "

"Hehe, next question, you and that Doggie—oh, Inumaru—are both Innate Experts. Why is your strength so lacking?"

After Li Yifei finished speaking, he stared at the Stocky Ninja, whose expression changed instantly, his gaze evading.

Li Yifei raised his hand to aim at the acupoint, and the Stocky Ninja hurriedly shouted, "Don’t aim, I’ll talk, I’ll talk!"

Li Yifei indicated that he could speak, and the Stocky Ninja finally sighed and revealed the truth.

This Stocky and the tall skinny one were both disciples of Yanagio Inujiro but hadn’t followed Yanagio Inujiro for long, nor had they been Innate Experts for long.

Within a certain scope of understanding, experts at this level are already very strong; otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent the two of them to Huaxia this time.

Experts like Yanagio Inujiro rarely leave their country, let alone set foot in a major nation like Huaxia easily. Otherwise, people like Murong Yuanqing would immediately come to besiege him. They’re the guardians of the nation’s gate, the top-tier existence battling against each other—it’s an unspoken rule adhered to by the powerful of each country.

Someone like Li Yifei, he’s not considered at that level of expert yet, so he doesn’t need to follow this rule. Throughout history, there have been cases of experts not adhering to the rule, but that’s only during times of national extinction and family destruction; Yanagio Inujiro certainly wouldn’t dare to do that now.

In summary, Li Yifei went and vented in Japan, destroying most of the Yamaguchi Group, which angered many old Japanese people. Many of these people had participated in the invasion of Huaxia back then and harbored hatred for Huaxia, so they gathered and invited the long-retired Yanagio Inujiro out.

Upon hearing this, Yanagio Inujiro was also displeased, thinking, "A small expert from Huaxia dares to run wild on my turf. If I didn’t know, fine, but if I do, I’ll definitely deal with you."

So he sent out two recently accepted disciples, but the two disciples were greedy for money and tried some tricks. Not only did they fail to trap Li Yifei and the Li family, but they also got caught instead.

Of course, even if these two had found Li Yifei directly, they likely would have ended up crippled; their strength was on display, and tricks wouldn’t work.

As for the source of their power, Li Yifei frowned for a long time after hearing about it.

These two were actually created by Yanagio Inujiro himself. Originally, they were just ordinary people with appearances similar to ordinary Japanese men. Take this Stocky for example, he originally weighed just over 100 pounds and was only 1.7 meters tall, just a regular student. One day after school, Yanagio Inujiro stopped him and directly told him he wanted to take him as a disciple. Of course, Stocky refused, but Yanagio Inujiro didn’t waste any words and took him away.

The other, Inumaru, had a similar experience. Inumaru was a nine-to-five office worker with no girlfriend because of his ugly appearance.

The two were captured by Yanagio Inujiro, and upon discovering his identity, they were instantly in awe, not daring to resist further. Yanagio Inujiro examined both of them and discovered they were indeed ideal candidates.

Celestial castration, both were born male but couldn’t live as men in this lifetime. Even at over twenty, their bodies hadn’t developed beyond that of a baby, preserving their Primordial Yang over the years, which was exactly what Yanagio Inujiro was after.

After decades of seclusion, Yanagio Inujiro had been researching one problem, a problem Murong Yuanqing and others had also studied.

That was how to enable men to possess Innate Vital Energy and retain it, a process-building within the body, to rapidly enter the ranks of the strong.

These two were Yanagio Inujiro’s test subjects, but not the first batch, potentially even among many batches. Such Celestial castrated individuals are hard to find, and Yanagio Inujiro had searched all over Japan, finding only twenty, with only these two succeeding.

Upon hearing that they could become experts and strong figures, they naturally agreed, but didn’t anticipate the extremely painful process. When speaking of it, Stocky Ninja’s face showed more fear than when enduring the torment of True Qi wreaking havoc on his meridians.

One became incredibly overweight, while the other grew over a dozen centimeters taller overnight, becoming thin and tall, like a bamboo pole.

And Yanagio Inujiro finally succeeded, using his abundant cultivation, Innate Vital Energy, and his conceived extremely brutal method to turn these nominal disciples into Innate Experts.
