Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Dialogue!

Inoue Kazuo spoke with such confidence.

The middle-aged man beside him finally began to look better.

After all, Keiko was one of Inoue Zaibatsu’s people, and who would dare to move against Keiko? Before doing so, they would have to carefully measure their own strength.

"Father, I’m alright now!" the middle-aged man said respectfully.

"Let’s go, Xiao Shi!" Inoue Kazuo waved his hand.

The middle-aged man was named Inoue Shi, Inoue Kazuo’s only son. Just as he was about to set off, he remembered something and continued, "Father, there is another martial arts prodigy in Xuan Country!"

"Who?" Inoue Kazuo asked.

"His name is Tang Zhong. It is said that he has beheaded Long Aojue on Mount Hua!" Inoue Shi said.

Tang Zhong!

When he heard this name, Inoue Kazuo’s eyebrows wrinkled, "Have you investigated?"

"Not yet. Before we’ve had the chance to investigate, this person gained fortune at Xuan Country’s Hidden Sword event. We sent people to eliminate him, but all died, none survived!" Inoue Shi said.

"Continue the investigation. We must continue, and if it’s someone from Xuan Country with the surname Tang, then we must investigate thoroughly. Absolutely no mistakes are permissible!" Inoue Kazuo said.

"Father, are you worried that this Tang surname is related to Tang Zongyao?" Inoue Shi asked.

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Inoue Shi’s body flew out, slamming directly into the wooden door, and a surge of blood almost gushed from his chest.

Although it hurt, Inoue Shi didn’t dare utter any nonsense, and hurriedly kneeled on the ground, "Father, spare my life!"

"I asked for an investigation, not your nonsense, got it? Now get out!" Inoue Kazuo said coldly.

"As you command!" Inoue Shi nodded hastily, closed the door behind him, and left.

Meanwhile, in the room, Inoue Kazuo’s brow was furrowed, as if deep in thought, and then he turned back to look at the spirit tablet of Tang Zongyao, his gaze profound, "As long as you have the surname Tang, then of the martial artists from Xuan Country with this surname, I will not let a single one off. Better to kill by mistake than miss one."

And in Xuan Country.

Outside the Dragon Group’s entrance, Tang Zhong drove in.

He had some questions to ask Zhang Changgong.

He quickly arrived at the office.

This time, not only Zhang Changgong was in the office, but also Meng Wuxiang, Li Linglong, and others.

Upon seeing Tang Zhong enter.

"You’re here!" Zhang Changgong greeted Tang Zhong with a smile.

"Yes, Grandpa Zhang!" Tang Zhong said respectfully.

As Zhang Changgong treated him like his own grandson, he naturally respected Zhang Changgong.

But when Meng Wuxiang saw Tang Zhong, the previous arrogance was gone, replaced with a respectful, "Grandmaster Tang!"

Although he was a proud man, he would bow his head to another who was stronger than him.

"Hmm," Tang Zhong nodded slightly.

Li Linglong, on the other hand, wasn’t as formal as Meng Wuxiang; seeing Tang Zhong, he said out of courtesy, "General Tang!"

Seeing Li Linglong acting like this, Tang Zhong almost laughed. Getting a wretched man to act so properly was indeed a difficult task.

"You two, leave us," Zhang Changgong gestured with his hand.

"Yes, Master!" Meng Wuxiang said, "Disciple will take his leave now!"

Then he left with Li Linglong.

Only Zhang Changgong and Tang Zhong remained in the entire room.

Clothed in a white training outfit, Zhang Changgong scrutinized Tang Zhong from head to toe and said, "Come here quickly, let me have a look at you!"

"Hmm!" Tang Zhong walked over.

Zhang Changgong examined Tang Zhong up and down, squinting his eyes, "Your body is as tough as steel, and your vital energy so fierce. Could it be that you’ve already broken through the Martial Arts Peak?"

"No... I am still a Martial Arts Grandmaster!" Tang Zhong replied.

He felt it; he had not broken through the Martial Arts Peak; he was indeed still a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

"A Grandmaster... with such abilities, truly a Celestial Being indeed!" Zhang Changgong muttered to himself.

"If brother Tang could know of this from beyond, he would certainly be very happy," Zhang Changgong continued.

Speaking of Tang Zongyao, Zhang Changgong felt a wave of sadness.

"Grandfather Zhang, where is Inoue Kazuo?" Tang Zhong suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask this?" Zhang Changgong said in surprise.

"To retrieve the sword," Tang Zhong declared firmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Changgong was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing what he meant, his expression changed abruptly, "No, absolutely not. You are definitely not his match. Inoue Kazuo is the symbol of Bei Country; he is Bei Country’s number one. If you rashly seek him out, you will be facing the entire Bei Country. Although you say you’ve killed Long Aojue, if you are now a Grandmaster, then the killing was certainly not by your own strength. In short, you must not go."

"I must go," Tang Zhong insisted, "because I have already killed Inoue Keiko, Inoue Kazuo’s granddaughter."

"What?" Zhang Changgong looked at Tang Zhong, his expression one of frustration at unfulfilled potential.

"You are exposing yourself!" Zhang Changgong said anxiously.

"Then let it be exposed," Tang Zhong replied, utterly unruffled.

"You... do you not understand the gravity of this? By killing Inoue Keiko, you are making enemies with the entire martial world of Bei Country. Moreover, Bei Country will certainly support Inoue Kazuo, so your situation will be even more difficult. Although I can protect you, I represent the Dragon Group, and once I take action, it signifies the involvement of Xuan Country; therefore, unless it is a matter of life and death, I absolutely will not act rashly," Zhang Changgong explained.

He wasn’t just Tang Zhong’s grandfather, but also a key figure in Xuanjing City’s Dragon Group. If he acted rashly, it would be far too reckless.

"So what?" Tang Zhong replied indifferently.

"Tang Zhong, this move of yours is really quite reckless," Zhang Changgong said anxiously, "And you still ask ’so what’? The Kusanagi Family, the Bashen Family, are peak figures within the martial world of Bei Country, and they all follow Inoue Kazuo. By doing this, you’re making enemies with them!"

"Then I’ll be their enemy," Tang Zhong stated.

"You..." Zhang Changgong shook his head helplessly. In his view, Tang Zhong was becoming somewhat arrogant after killing Long Aojue; he didn’t blame Tang Zhong, as this is a common flaw amongst young people.

"From today onwards, you must not leave Xuanjing City. This way, I can protect you, even from Inoue Kazuo himself," Zhang Changgong insisted.

"No..." Tang Zhong immediately objected.

"No way, you cannot refuse," Zhang Changgong pressed.

"I must refuse. I still have something I must do," Tang Zhong said.

"You... you, given your current predicament, it would be very difficult if Inoue Kazuo found out that you killed Inoue Keiko. And is what you want to do more important than your life?" Zhang Changgong was growing frantic.

Tang Zhong simply smiled, turned away with pride, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, "Of course, it’s important. The Tang family’s possessions have been elsewhere for so long, it’s always left me feeling uneasy. If I don’t retrieve them soon, our ancestors will be rolling in their graves."

Hearing this, Zhang Changgong’s expression turned bleak, "You... you’re going for the Tang Sword?"

"Yes, I’ll go tomorrow."

"But that’s the entire Bei Country."

"Then I’ll overturn it," Tang Zhong asserted.

Watching the young man’s receding figure in the distance, Zhang Changgong fell silent for a long while.
