Chapter 642 Illegitimate Daughter
Chapter 642 Illegitimate Daughter
“You’re not cooperating with Takeshi Tano, but he’s quite stubborn. He’s already privately contacted other international arms dealers, trying to buy enough weapons from them.”
Zhou Zhou really couldn't understand what Jiang Nian was trying to achieve with this move.
He could have just sold the guns directly to Takeshi Tano, but he went through all this trouble, keeping Daiya Taza on his toes, making a promise with Matsuki Takahashi, and even having an illegitimate daughter of the Taza family living in his house.
Zhou Zhou even suspected that Jiang Nian might actually be infatuated with this illegitimate daughter of the Tianye family? And was he planning to destroy the entire Tianye family for her sake?
"Anyway, other international arms dealers don't have as much stock as we do, so let's see how much Tano Takeshi can buy. Besides, it's just a batch of weapons. As long as I'm here, even the best stuff, I can destroy it."
Jiang Nian sneered. This was exactly the effect he wanted. Didn't Tian Yewu like to buy weapons from others? Then he would quietly destroy the goods Tian Yewu bought, leaving him with no choice but to come to him.
Jiang Nian's last sentence left Zhou Zhou somewhat confused. What did he mean by saying that as long as Jiang Nian was around, the other side wouldn't be able to obtain the weapons intact?
Besides, Jiang Nian couldn't possibly burn down someone else's weapons all by himself, could he?
For some reason, Zhou Zhou suddenly remembered something. The batch of weapons Wang Ba sold to Tian Yewu, although it eventually sank into the sea, hadn't been submerged for very long, considering the timeline. So why were they all rendered useless after being transported back to Japan?
Zhou Zhou didn't get accurate information about exactly how that batch of weapons was rendered unusable. All he knew was that while the weapons appeared intact, their performance in all aspects had been significantly reduced, rendering them completely unusable.
Could it be that Jiang Nian also sabotaged the scrapping of that batch of weapons?
The thought only flashed through Zhou Zhou's mind for a moment.
After all, he thought it was completely impossible.
If Jiang Nian really has such ability, then why did he go through all that trouble to have Japan take that batch of weapons back?
So many arms researchers haven't been able to figure out how that batch of weapons was destroyed. Jiang Nian might be able to fool one person, but he couldn't possibly fool everyone, could he?
Zhou Zhou felt that he must have been obsessed lately, otherwise why would he think of such an impossible thing?
“Since you know what you're doing, then I won’t interfere. We’ve received word from our master that we should be returning to the base in a month. Your matter here, this transaction, also needs to be completed within a month; we can’t afford to delay it too much.”
Zhou Zhou shook his head, banishing these random thoughts from his mind, before remembering the important matter and explaining it to Jiang Nian in this way.
Dark Eagle contacted Zhou Zhou and ordered him to tell Jiang Nian that Dark Eagle was only giving Jiang Nian one month to stay in Japan. After one month, Jiang Nian must return to the base.
Hearing Zhou Zhou's words, Jiang Nian frowned.
He knew that the master Zhou Zhou was referring to was Dark Eagle.
However, a month should be enough time. After all, he had received information that the Japanese military had given Takeshi Tano only fifteen days.
"I understand. Tell your master I will be back within the specified time."
After saying that, Jiang Nian left in a huff.
Zhou Zhou knew that he was angry that Dark Eagle had contacted him privately. Zhou Zhou felt quite helpless about this—Dark Eagle was his master, and as his subordinate, he couldn't disobey his master's orders, could he?
Besides, if Dark Eagle wanted to kill him, he had plenty of ways to do it. Zhou Zhou didn't want to die yet.
"Keep an eye on Takeshi Tano's people lately. As soon as he buys any more weapons from the international market and they arrive at the Japanese port, let me know immediately."
That evening, Jiang Nian called Mu Zi into his room, cut off all signals, and then gave her instructions with a serious expression.
"Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed."
Although she didn't know what Jiang Nian was going to do, Mu Zi had recently learned something—no matter what Jiang Nian said, she just had to do it. So after Jiang Nian finished speaking seriously, Mu Zi didn't say a word more and left the room directly.
On the surface, the land of cherry blossoms appears calm, but in reality, turbulent events are brewing.
On Tano Takeshi's side, he was greatly relieved to learn that his subordinates had acquired a large amount of weaponry.
In any case, when the military inspects the weapons, although the quantity he brings might not be as large as the original batch, he has done his best to make up for his mistakes. As long as the difference isn't too significant, he believes the military won't dismiss him outright.
At that time, Tadashi will also be working hard to collect gold. Although Mr. An refused to do business with the Tano family, he didn't explicitly say he wouldn't do business with the Tadashi family either. We'll have Tadashi also step in and buy another batch of weapons from Mr. An. The combined quantities from both sides should be enough.
Thinking this, Takeshi Tano felt incredibly clever. He shouldn't have placed all his hopes on Mr. Darkness in the first place.
Now that he has acquired weapons from elsewhere, he believes he can overcome this crisis.
Upon learning that his men would arrive at the port at midnight with the weapons, Takeshi Tano personally led the elite members of the Tano family to the port to meet them. He could not allow any mishaps to occur with this shipment of weapons.
The news that the Tianye family would arrive at the port late at night with weapons was not only received by the Tianye family, but also by Mu Zi.
Knowing that Jiang Nian had been keeping an eye on Tian Yewu's actions, Mu Zi immediately went to Jiang Nian and told him the news.
Sure enough, Jiang Nian's expression changed when he heard the news.
He took off the mask he always wore, took out several bottles and jars from a drawer, and used them to decorate his face in a different way.
Before long, the person who appeared in front of Mu Zi had completely changed his appearance, and had no resemblance to Jiang Nian's original appearance at all.
If Jiang Nian hadn't changed his clothes right in front of her, Mu Zi wouldn't have believed that the person in front of her was him.
Seeing that Jiang Nian jumped off the balcony without waiting for her, Mu Zi panicked, rushed to the edge of the balcony, and jumped down after him to catch up with Jiang Nian.
"Comrade Jiang Nian, you can't go alone. I have to go with you."
What a joke! All the big shots have repeatedly warned us that Comrade Jiang Nian's safety is the most important thing, nothing else matters.
At this point, how could Mu Zi possibly let Jiang Nian go alone?
Moreover, he had no idea what Jiang Nian was planning. But Mu Zi knew one thing—Tian Yewu had gone to the port with the elite members of the Tian Ye family. No matter how powerful Jiang Nian was, he couldn't possibly defeat so many people by himself.
If something really happens to Comrade Jiang Nian, then Mu Zi feels that she doesn't need to return to China; she can simply atone with her death.
"You stay here. I can handle it by myself. Two people going will be too conspicuous and might alert the enemy. Just stay here."
Jiang Nian stopped Mu Zi, who wanted to follow, and said to him coldly.
"No, I can't let you act alone."
Mu Zi was shocked. He really didn't expect that Jiang Nian would not take him with him and would instead act alone, so he quickly spoke up.
Time was of the essence, and Jiang Nian didn't give Mu Zi a chance to continue speaking. He reached out and slapped Mu Zi. Before Mu Zi could even resist, she fell straight to the ground.
After glancing at Mu Zi lying on the ground, Jiang Nian dragged his body to the nearby bushes.
He only used the sleeping potion provided by the system; it wouldn't harm Mu Zi's body, only make her unconscious for a few hours. He would return after finishing his business, and Mu Zi would be safe.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Nian climbed over the wall and left the villa where he was currently living.
After leaving his villa, Jiang Nian thought for a moment and then directly called the system.
"System, come out quickly and do me a favor. Send a message to Takahashi Matsuki and tell him that Tano Takeshi has bought a batch of weapons and is currently at the dock. Tell him to take his men and find a way to intercept this batch of weapons."
If Jiang Nian were to send a message to Takahashi Matsuki himself, it would be too obvious. But by having the system handle it, Jiang Nian could guarantee that no one would be able to trace it back to him.
The system was speechless at Jiang Nian's instruction.
He felt that his host was becoming increasingly arrogant, treating him, the system, like a servant.
However, the system had no choice but to obediently carry out Jiang Nian's orders, as it was faced with its own host.
Takahashi Matsuki had just fallen asleep.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated violently, waking Takahashi Matsuki from his sleep.
Looking at his vibrating phone, Takahashi Matsuki was filled with shock. He always kept his phone on silent when he slept; there was no way he would put it on vibrate.
Furthermore, Takahashi Matsuki can guarantee that absolutely no one has ever entered his room. So, how exactly did the phone start vibrating?
Picking up his phone, Takahashi Matsuki tried to comfort himself—he probably dozed off before falling asleep and forgot to put his phone on silent.
However, when he saw the obvious mute icon on his phone, Takahashi Matsuki's expression turned ugly.
The phone was still vibrating. After opening the message that had been received due to the vibration, Takahashi Matsuki's eyes, which had been somewhat drowsy, immediately widened, and he instantly became wide awake.
He got out of bed, picked up the phone on the table, dialed the number, said one sentence to the other end, and then hung up.
Less than five minutes later, a series of orderly footsteps sounded at the door of Takahashi Matsuki's room.
Opening the door, Takahashi Matsuki, seeing a whole group of men dressed in black with their faces completely covered, coldly gave the order.
"Go to the dock immediately and intercept all the weapons that Tano Takeshi has obtained. If you can't intercept them, destroy them all."
After receiving Takahashi Matsuki's orders, the men in black left immediately.
Takahashi Matsuki looked at the message from the unknown number with a gloomy expression.
He's already sent people to check the contact with the hidden number, but hasn't received any reply. It's as if the text message appeared out of nowhere on his phone, and someone is controlling it, deliberately vibrating it to wake him up.
Who could possibly do this without anyone noticing?
The thought sent chills down Takahashi Matsuki's spine. What if the other person wasn't just controlling his phone, but wanted him dead? Could they kill him silently and without warning?
When Jiang Nian arrived at the dock, the people sent by Takahashi Matsuki had not yet arrived.
Hidden in the darkness, Jiang Nian waited quietly.
At this time, the batch of weapons that Tano Takeshi's men had bought were still sailing on the sea, less than half an hour away from the port.
Takeshi Tano has already arrived at the port with the elites of the Tano family and is waiting quietly here.
Jiang Nian was able to recognize Tian Yewu at a glance thanks to the system's discerning eyes. Otherwise, Jiang Nian felt it would have been quite difficult to accurately identify Tian Yewu among a group of men in black.
Even if he were fully capable of night vision, he couldn't do it.
Takeshi Tano really went all out this time. He brought a full sixty or seventy men, practically surrounding the entire dock.
It's safe to say that even if Jiang Nian were here, he couldn't guarantee that he could successfully evade the encirclement of so many people and enter the ship's cabin to completely modify this batch of weapons.
The Takahashi family arrived very quickly.
As the ship entered the harbor, Takeshi Tano's eyes lit up. He led his men forward, intending to receive his shipment of weapons.
Just then, a sudden change occurred—a group of men in black rushed out and surrounded Tano Takeshi's men. The two sides faced off, and a battle was imminent.
At that moment, Jiang Nian quietly slipped away from everyone's gaze and boarded the boat.
With the system providing directions, Jiang Nian went straight to the cabin almost as soon as he boarded the ship.
There, a whole lot of weapons are stored.
The sudden outbreak of fighting on the shore put the Tano family on the ship on high alert. Only a few people remained to guard the weapons, while the rest evacuated the ship and joined Tano Takeshi's side in attacking the Takahashi family.
Takahashi Matsuki knew that if Tano Takeshi wanted to obtain this batch of weapons, he would definitely send out the elites of the Tano family. Therefore, he also sent out the elites of the Takahashi family, hoping to intercept this batch of weapons this time.
Otherwise, if Takeshi Tano actually gets his hands on this batch of weapons, even if the Takahashi family makes a deal with Mr. An and buys a lot of weapons, they still won't be able to bring Takeshi Tano down.
The Takahashi family did all this with the sole hope of ousting Takeshi Tano and replacing him with their own family. They wanted to stand out alone, not to share the throne with the Tano family.
Therefore, this is a war where it's either you die or I live.
Neither side showed any mercy in their attack.
There were only a few people in the cabin. With Jiang Nian's skills, he knocked them all to the ground with almost no effort, rendering them completely unconscious.
The quality of the weapons purchased by Takeshi Tano's men was not very good.
Compared to the previous batch of weapons, this is worlds apart. You could only say that this batch contains sniper rifles that Country E can barely produce.
All things considered, it didn't offer much help to Japan. (End of Chapter)
