Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 317 - 241: A Slighted Warning: Removing the Silver Needle, a Vicious Demon Flame

Hearing Yi Beidou’s words, Ambassador Wen’s heart pounded violently again.

Although he didn’t have access to certain classified intelligence, he knew full well what the Pioneer Group represented.

An important figure from the Pioneer Group’s Asia District had actually been captured by Yi Beidou, just like that?

"Please wait a moment. I’ll make the arrangements immediately."

Ambassador Wen didn’t dare to delay. He immediately picked up the desk phone to make the arrangements.

With the Special Security Bureau’s intelligence officers currently active throughout Japan, he naturally had a way to contact them urgently.

The call went through. Ambassador Wen gave a few brief instructions and hung up. A moment later, the phone rang again.

"Mr. Yi, the Special Security Bureau’s person in charge for Tokyo is on their way. They will arrive within half an hour."

Ambassador Wen informed Yi Beidou after hanging up again.

"Then I’ll just wait here."

Yi Beidou nodded.

Ambassador Wen shot a look at Secretary Liu beside him. The secretary understood instantly and was about to leave the room to fetch the ambassador’s most prized tea to brew for Yi Beidou.

"There’s no need to go to such trouble. Just wait here. If word gets out that I was here, it will have an incalculable impact on you, and even on all of Donghua."

Yi Beidou said calmly.

He had done nothing overt. It was merely the resonance of his voice, yet Secretary Liu felt his body move backward as if uncontrolled. He returned to the very spot he had been standing, his posture exactly as it was before.

Seeing this incredible scene and hearing Yi Beidou’s words, sweat began to bead on Ambassador Wen’s forehead.

To be honest, he had no experience conversing with a figure of this caliber, and at this moment, he was at a loss for what to do.

But from Yi Beidou’s words, he could understand the gravity of the situation. The current turmoil within Japan was undoubtedly connected to Yi Beidou—in fact, he was likely the sole cause of it.

"Um... Mr. Yi, would you be able to tell us what exactly is happening in Japan right now? Our intelligence officers are all active at the moment. If we could get this information, we could conserve a lot of resources, and our officers would face less risk."

After some deliberation, Ambassador Wen decided to ask.

After all, getting the intelligence even one minute sooner would allow their side back home to respond more effectively and seize the initiative.

"There’s no harm in telling you. A short while ago, I killed the current Emperor and two Saints close to him. I was then preparing to eliminate Japan’s Number One. However, before I could act, a Saint, who appeared to be Number One’s bodyguard, struck first. He caused Number One to die from cardiac arrest. His motives are likely not simple; he’s probably connected to certain Japanese factions. I don’t know his name, but his Martial Arts seem to be related to nuclear explosions. I’ve heard Japan has a Saint who survived the nuclear blast back then. It must have been him."

Yi Beidou said, his expression placid.

If Ambassador Wen and Secretary Liu weren’t certain they hadn’t misheard or missed a single word, they would have thought from his tone alone that Yi Beidou was talking about something as simple as killing a couple of chickens at the village entrance.

Even though they had already suspected as much, hearing Yi Beidou confirm it himself still made their heads buzz.

The Emperor and Number One, both dead because of one man!

Certain factions might be about to make a big move!

This news was simply too shocking.

Ambassador Wen struggled to control his expression. He excused himself to Yi Beidou, then quickly picked up the desk phone to relay the orders and transmit the intelligence at top speed.

Xiaoliu also sprang into action, using a nearby computer to apparently write up some kind of report.

「Less than twenty minutes later.」

KNOCK KNOCK! KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

A rhythmic knock sounded on the office door. Xiaoliu went to check the peephole, and after confirming the visitor’s identity, he opened the door just a crack to let them in.

The visitor was a middle-aged man in plain clothes, but Yi Beidou could tell with a single glance that this person possessed a certain level of cultivation.

"Mr. Yi, this is Team Leader Qin Yang, the head of the Special Security Bureau’s operations in Tokyo."

Ambassador Wen stood up and explained.

The middle-aged man named Qin Yang looked at Yi Beidou, his expression somewhat excited. After all, they had been searching for news of Yi Beidou for some time and had almost assumed he was dead.

Then he looked at Hoffman, who was lying at Yi Beidou’s feet, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Mr. Yi, is this the man you were talking about?"

Qin Yang asked.

"That’s right. I want you to send him back to the country and hand him over to Wei Cheng. I’ll need a copy of any intelligence you get from the interrogation. Can you do it?"

Yi Beidou asked.

"We do have channels to get him out of Japan. Air transport is under tight security across Japan right now, but going by sea is still no problem. However, as far as I know, all important personnel from the Pioneer Group have chips in their brains. We can’t handle that here in Japan. Mr. Yi, will you be returning to the country with us?"

Qin Yang asked.

"I’m not returning to the country for now. However, I have a way to disable the chip in his brain for three days. In that time frame, are you confident you can transport him back to the country and remove the chip?"

Yi Beidou asked.

"Three days? That should be enough time, but I need to check with my superiors for confirmation."

Qin Yang said in a low voice. He then immediately took out an encrypted phone and made a call. He received a reply shortly after.

"My superiors have confirmed. We don’t need three days. One day will be enough."
