General Cha Cai was considered quite the formidable figure, yet he was played like a puppet in the hands of a woman. If it weren't for his willpower, he might've vomited blood and died on the spot.

Unfortunately, with a brutal figure like Tu San present, he didn't even have a sliver of chance to fight back. Summoning what little courage he had left, he stormed out, slamming the door shut.

Jiang Rou, however, didn't even bother to glance at him. Her lips curved into a faint smirk of disdain as she turned and leisurely walked back to the window, resuming her observation of the vast, azure ocean outside.

The Bloody Demon Tu San remained as taciturn as ever. He dragged away Han Long's corpse, along with the bodies of General Cha Cai's eight guards, and slipped out of the room without a sound.

The entire room was now left to this enigmatic and ruthlessly decisive woman—Jiang Rou.

Walking toward the window, Jiang Rou passed by a nearby desk. She casually picked up a small stack of documents resting on it. The very first page displayed a photograph of a man—none other than Qin Fang, someone she had encountered once before.

"Qin Fang... what a truly intriguing little man!"

Staring at the ordinary-looking man in the photo, Jiang Rou flipped through the accompanying information before finally murmuring after a long while.

Achoo~~~

At almost the exact same moment, Qin Fang, soaking in a bathtub, suddenly sneezed. The unexpected sneeze left him somewhat perplexed.

"Could someone be badmouthing me behind my back?"

Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter.

Given his physical attributes and profound True Qi cultivation, he was long immune to the effects of extreme temperatures. Even walking naked in icy snow wouldn't make him catch a cold—so how could he suddenly sneeze?

Clearly, something was amiss, which was why Qin Fang began speculating...

If only he knew that the sorceress Jiang Rou, whom he was so wary of, had taken note of him, he might've fled back inland the very next second in search of refuge.

"Could it be those little devils from Yamamoto's side..."

Qin Fang didn't consider Jiang Rou at all but instead thought of the Japanese men he'd dealt with earlier today—especially Yamamoto, a petty, vindictive figure. After getting utterly humiliated by Qin Fang earlier, Yamamoto was unlikely to let it end there.

"Hmph... I was already planning to visit Japan. If they want to throw themselves at my gun barrel, then bring it on!"

However, Qin Fang was clearly not afraid of these men. The Yamaguchi Group's power might indeed be vast—allegedly Japan's and even Asia's top black organization.

In the past, The Green Gang in Dragon Country could rival them. But after the Green Gang shifted its focus to Europe and America, the Yamaguchi Group became dominant…

Of course, Dragon Country's inland remained a no-go zone for the Yamaguchi Group. The government's severe crackdown, the interference of local factions, and the residual power of The Green Gang in the country ensured that…

The Yamaguchi Group was formidable at its headquarters, but this was Hong Kong Island. Its influence here was limited because Elder Long would never allow them to grow unchecked on his turf.

So, while Yamamoto might be the person in charge of the Hong Kong Branch, the resources at his disposal were limited. With Elder Long and the Sanlian Gang keeping watch, the most Yamamoto could do was send a few men after Qin Fang—essentially courting death, something Qin Fang couldn't care less about.

Moreover, because of a mission, Qin Fang's trip to Japan was already on the agenda. The Shiling Group, a massive entity, was entangled in significant interests with various Japanese organizations, particularly the Yamaguchi Group. Such ties guaranteed inevitable conflict, making politeness unnecessary…

As a native of Ninghai, Qin Fang especially bore no goodwill toward the Japanese. Teaching Sato and Kyokushin Genichi a lesson was just the beginning. Qin Fang would deal with more of those foolish individuals in the days to come.

As for Yamamoto... he could very well be Qin Fang's next unlucky target!

...

Yamaguchi Group Hong Kong Branch.

Surrounded by a group of followers, Yamamoto returned with a dark and brooding expression.

Anyone who saw Yamamoto in this state handled him with extreme caution, terrified of accidentally provoking this already bad-tempered young master.

"Baka... I'll kill him! I'll definitely kill him!"

Throughout the journey, Yamamoto maintained this restrained rage but didn't explode until he returned to the branch. Pulling out a katana he had left there, he started slashing everything in the room in a frenzy.

The Hong Kong branch's building carried certain elements of traditional Japanese architecture, with wooden structures, sliding doors, and tatami mats.

These materials couldn't withstand a razor-sharp katana, and soon, they were reduced to scattered splinters and disarrayed fragments, leaving the room in complete ruins.

Yet, no one dared to step forward to stop him. Yamamoto, in a fit of madness, was utterly without reason. Anyone who got too close would likely be chopped in half on the spot.

This wasn't an unfounded fear. It had happened before, leaving Yamamoto's current subordinates far more prudent.

No one willingly courted death, especially not by the blade of their own boss—that would be too tragic…

The rampage continued for nearly ten minutes, only ceasing when the entire space turned into a heap of rubble. Yamamoto's emotions finally stabilized, albeit slightly.

"Mr. Yamamoto, here are the documents you asked for..."

As Yamamoto sheathed his katana, a subordinate cautiously approached with a small stack of documents. The man's anxious eyes darted around, clearly worried Yamamoto's fury might reignite.

"Hm!"

Fortunately, Yamamoto didn't lash out at him. Taking the handful of papers, he began leafing through them.

Being in charge of the Yamaguchi Group's Hong Kong branch, Yamamoto had a strong grasp of Chinese. Not only could he speak fluent Mandarin, but he was also proficient in reading Chinese characters.

Ironically, despite being Japan's largest black organization and its most significant right-wing force, many Yamaguchi Group leaders were deeply familiar with Chinese culture—a striking contradiction.

The stack of documents was relatively thin, just a few sheets in total.

However, if compared with the information Jiang Rou had reviewed earlier, one would find the two sets surprisingly similar.

This was also information on Qin Fang.

Everything Qin Fang had done since arriving on Hong Kong Island was meticulously documented.

Of course, Qin Fang's elimination of Han Long was still a secret. Even Jiang Rou, one of the parties involved, remained unaware, let alone Yamamoto.

Han Long had died at the hands of a dog. If one could access the Assassin's Alliance's records, they might uncover that Han Long's death was linked to a killer known as Supreme…

Unfortunately, the Assassin's Alliance's records were out of reach for most. Only the organization's absolute core leadership, authorized by several top brass, could access such files…

Furthermore, Han Long's death was carried out by Supreme, which had no known ties to Qin Fang. The Assassin's Alliance never documented the true identities of their operatives.

Unless operatives defected or were targeted for elimination, the Assassin's Alliance would investigate and reveal their real identities…

Until then, no one would uncover anything…

Yamamoto was far from this level of authority, and the people he sent to gather intel weren't qualified either. As a result, the only information they could find pertained to Qin Fang's public actions—his conflict with Qu Yuanliang, his saving of Old Madame Qu, his ties to the Qu Family, his mastery in horseracing, and so forth...

Apart from this easily accessible intel, everything else remained obscure. They couldn't even ascertain what Qin Fang did inland or where he originated from in detail.

Thus, after reviewing the material, Yamamoto only concluded that Qin Fang was a talented individual with high martial prowess and exceptional medical skill. Arrogance came naturally to such gifted people, after all.

But Yamamoto despised Qin Fang. He didn't care how impressive Qin Fang was; in his eyes, anyone who crossed him deserved only one fate—death!

As for whether Qin Fang had powerful backers, Yamamoto showed no concern. The Yamaguchi Group's influence across Asia was immense, and his unique status made him fear very few. Naturally, he wasn't worried…

"Fujita, I'm assigning this task to you. Don't disappoint me! Otherwise... humph!"

Yamamoto's anger reignited at the thought of Qin Fang, and he called upon the Hong Kong Branch's top sniper, tasking him with eliminating the target who had infuriated him.

"Hmph... So you're skilled at fighting? Let's see if you're skilled enough to stop a bullet..."

Yamamoto's previously brooding expression turned icy cold. It was as if he had already foreseen Qin Fang's untimely demise.

Achoo...

Not even a few minutes passed, and Qin Fang sneezed again, just as unpredictably as before.

"Damn it, could some beauty be cursing me?"

A single sneeze could be chalked up to an enemy thinking of him. But two in a row? That seemed different—after all, Qin Fang didn't have that many enemies here.

So, he could only deduce that a beautiful woman must have been silently thinking about him. As for who this beauty might be... well, that was anyone's guess! (To be continued.
