Chapter 1781 - Camilla's Internal Struggle Over Charlie's Alleged Connection to Nanako
Camilla's pride was once again hurt by Charlie's attitude.
She gazed at Charlie's profile, bit her lip hard, remained silent, and turned to leave the courtyard with her brother.
The siblings stumbled out, and Cameron asked in a low voice, "Camilla, were those ninjas all defeated barehanded by that young man just now?"
Camilla solemnly replied, "Not by that young man, but by the benefactor."
Cameron nodded quickly, "Alright, alright, by the benefactor. So, were those ninjas all defeated barehanded by the benefactor?"
"Yes," Camilla said earnestly, "I have never seen someone with such strength... this is the first time..."
Cameron clicked his tongue, "If we could recruit him into the Salvador family and utilise him, that would be the best."
"Impossible," Camilla shook her head, "The benefactor is proud and will not be used by anyone. Moreover, he might be a top expert from some hidden sect, not necessarily considering the Salvador family."
Cameron grumbled, "That's true... sigh... thanks to the benefactor, or else we would have died in Kyoto..."
Finishing his words, he hurriedly added, "By the way Camilla, quickly call Dad! This time, when we were kidnapped, the family must have sent many experts over, Dad might have come too! We need to let him know we are in Kyoto and also tell him to quickly deal with that scoundrel Matsumoto! I never thought it was that scoundrel who was behind all this!"
Camilla nodded and took out her phone.
Suddenly, a burst of flames rose behind them, illuminating the once dark night in a fiery glow!
Camilla quickly turned around to see the two-story building where she had almost lost her life moments ago, now engulfed in raging flames!
The wooden building burned, crackling and bursting like firecrackers, blending with the heavy snow, giving a taste of the Chinese Lunar New Year.
Cameron stroked his chin and asked Camilla, "Camilla, do you think those ninjas survived?"
Camilla countered, "With such a huge fire, is there any chance they survived?"
Cameron waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. I meant, did the benefactor kill them first and then set the fire, or did he just burn them all alive in one go?"
Camilla felt a chill down her spine and shook her head, "I can't say for sure about that..."
As she spoke, the image of Charlie once again surfaced in her mind, murmuring, "The benefactor... he really is extraordinary... I wonder what his true identity is..."
Cameron chuckled, "If you want to know, let the family help investigate. In the country, is there anyone's information that we can't find?"
Camilla shook her head, "The benefactor clearly doesn't want us to know his identity. If we deliberately investigate and anger him, what should we do?"
Cameron pursed his lips, "Well, that's true..."
After that, Cameron recalled Charlie's conversation with the Iga ninja earlier and said, "By the way, when my head was covered earlier, I heard the benefactor talking to the Iga clan's people. It seems he is a friend of the Ito family's daughter?"
"Oh yes!" Camilla nodded and blurted out, "He came here because of Takehiko's daughter."
Cameron said, "Isn't her name Nanako?"
"Yes," Camilla blurted out, "Her name is Nanako, a very beautiful girl and also a martial arts expert."
Cameron gossiped, "Hey Camilla, do you think the benefactor might be Nanako's boyfriend? Maybe he could even become Takehiko's future son-in-law. We should cooperate more with Takehiko in the future, maybe we'll have a chance to meet the benefactor."
Upon hearing this, Camilla suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
She asked herself in her heart, "Could the benefactor really be Nanako's boyfriend? The benefactor is Chinese, why would he be with a Japanese woman? Shouldn't he be in a relationship, married, and have children with a Japanese woman?"
With these thoughts, Camilla sighed softly, "I'll call Dad first..."
"Okay," Cameron nodded, bent down to grab a handful of snow from the ground, rubbed it on his face, and sighed, "Ah, the feeling of surviving a disaster, it's really something..."
Chapter 1782 - "Lost Leads and Fumbled Clues: Tokyo's Detective Dilemma"
In the current moment in Tokyo, chaos still reigns. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is on the brink of madness. The kidnapping of the Salvador siblings, the murder of over a dozen people, the discovery of human popsicles at the Takahashi residence, and the horrific burning of Shinzhi's son in a car - any one of these incidents could be considered a major criminal case of the year. Yet, one after another, these events keep erupting in Tokyo within an extremely short span of time.
What's more, almost all the incidents involve top-tier prominent families, which is essentially humiliating the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and repeatedly beating its face on the ground, then mercilessly whipping it with a belt.
To make matters worse, the police department has yet to find any useful leads. Despite their exhaustive efforts, they have not been able to locate any clues regarding the Salvador siblings, let alone identify the culprits or their whereabouts. Consequently, the entire Tokyo police force is at a loss.
Virtuoso is rapidly losing patience. His children's fates remain unknown, and he is forced to endlessly wait for the incompetent Tokyo police department. For him, this is undoubtedly the greatest torment of his life.
Just as he was considering going directly to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to elevate the matter to a significant diplomatic incident, he suddenly received a call from a domestic Japanese number.
With suspicion, he answered the call and immediately heard the voice of Camilla: "Dad, it's me! Camilla!"
At the sound of his daughter's voice, Virtuoso's heart almost leapt out of his chest. Overwhelmed with excitement, he blurted out, "Camilla..."
However, before he could continue, Camilla urgently interrupted him, saying, "Dad, are there other people around you? If so, please don't let them know it's me calling!"
Observing his surroundings like a hawk, Virtuoso noticed only his own people, a few idiots from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and even a couple of cabinet members. Hastily, he changed his tone, "Do you know how busy I am right now?! If it's not urgent, I'll hang up. If it is, speak quickly!"
Only then did Camilla continue, "Dad, both my brother and I are safe now. We've been rescued, but we're not in Tokyo; we're in Kyoto."
Relieved yet furrowing his brow at the incompetence of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Virtuoso sighed in relief.
At that moment, he loathed those fools with all his heart.
"These idiots! They adamantly assured me that the suspects were likely hiding in Tokyo and unlikely to leave the city!"
"And they claimed to have promptly sealed off Tokyo's outbound traffic, rigorously inspecting all those leaving the city. So, my son and daughter must be in Tokyo, just awaiting discovery!"
"And what happened?"
"The culprits were hundreds of kilometres away in Kyoto!"
"I feel like taking a knife and engraving 'idiots' on their faces!"
However, Virtuoso also understood that now was not the time for anger. Thus, he asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Camilla replied, "Dad, please don't inform the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. I have serious doubts about their capabilities, and there's a high possibility of internal leaks. I want you to send our own people to Kyoto to pick up my brother and me."
Virtuoso immediately agreed, "Understood!"
Camilla added, "Also, Dad! The person who kidnapped us is Tokyo's Yoshito! He intended to kill us and then frame Takehiko, which is why he brought us to Kyoto!"
"What?!" Virtuoso's tone instantly turned incredibly grim, "It's him?!"
Chapter 1783 - "Innocence Unveiled: The Takehiko Twist"
Virtuoso once highly suspected that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of his twin children was Takehiko.
However, despite the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's secret surveillance of Takehiko and extensive investigation, no significant clues were found.
Initially, Virtuoso thought that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was intentionally protecting Takehiko. Now, he realizes that Takehiko is truly innocent in this matter.
Not only innocent, but he was almost framed!
And to Virtuoso's surprise, the mastermind behind the whole scheme turned out to be Yoshito!
He never even considered him as a suspect!
It seems that Yoshito is truly cunning!
To be able to manipulate so many incidents behind the scenes, causing suspicion between the Ito family, Takahashi family, and leading Salvador's suspicions towards these two families!
At this point, Virtuoso is filled with an intense desire to take revenge on Yoshito!
So, he grits his teeth and says, "I know everything you've mentioned. Keep the phone lines open, I will have my men contact you."
Camilla hurriedly responded, "Alright, my brother and I will be waiting in Kyoto."
Virtuoso hung up the phone, stood up, and said to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Chief, "I have something to attend to, I'll leave first."
The Chief hurriedly asked, "Mr. Salvador, where are you going?"
"What's it to you?" Virtuoso said in a harsh tone, "You better find my son and daughter quickly, or I will report you to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
The Chief rushed forward, pleading, "Mr. Salvador, give me another 12 hours. In these twelve hours, even if I have to turn Tokyo upside down, I will find your children!"
He added, "Mr. Salvador, even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows, they will still hand the case over to us at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not an enforcement agency, they don't have the manpower for this..."
Virtuoso coldly snorted, "Then hurry up! Don't dilly-dally here!"
With that, Virtuoso angrily turned and left.
Outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, as Virtuoso got into the car, his first words to his trusted aide beside him were, "Yiming, immediately take twenty people to Kyoto to bring Cameron and Camilla back. I'll give you a phone number later to contact Camilla."
The middle-aged man known as Yiming has been a loyal general by Virtuoso's side for many years. Upon hearing Virtuoso's instructions, he immediately asked, "Master, have you found the young master and miss?"
"Yes," Virtuoso nodded, "They are safe now, but the mastermind behind this scheme has exceeded our expectations!"
Yiming anxiously asked, "Master, who is the mastermind?"
Through gritted teeth, Virtuoso said, "It's Yoshito! Damn it, daring to plot against my son and daughter, this Yoshito has lived long enough! Yiming, inform everyone else, before dawn, I want Yoshito's head on a platter!"
Yiming's expression turned serious, and he immediately responded, "Yes, Master, I will give the order!"
Virtuoso rubbed his temples and said, "Arrange for one of our planes to fly to Osaka now. Once you pick up Cameron and Camilla in Kyoto, directly take them to Osaka and have them fly back home for recovery. I'll handle things here in Japan!"
"Alright!"
...
A few minutes later.
Chapter 1784 - "Lost Connections: Phones and Foes in Kyoto"
The Salvador family's nearly one hundred hidden experts in Tokyo ceased their secret search for Cameron and Camilla. Twenty of them drove straight to Kyoto in the late night, while the remaining eighty started gathering at Yoshito's residence.
Little did Yoshito know, he was in big trouble.
Glancing at the time, it was already ten at night, so he took out his phone and called Iga ninja.
Following his plan, he instructed Iga ninja to start killing now and hide the body at the Ito family's residence half an hour later.
Then, patiently wait for a few hours until the body had cooled completely, then anonymously report the clue to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
This way, by tomorrow morning, Takehiko would be finished.
After Takehiko was done for, the only enemy left in front of him would be Shinzhi.
At this moment, Shinzhi was probably still immersed in the grief of losing his son, unable to extricate himself. It could be said that this was the most vulnerable time for him. Yoshito thought to himself that he could set up an ambush to kill him while he was attending Eiji's funeral.
As Yoshito thought this, the phone by his ear kept making a slow and steady beeping sound.
"Why can't I reach Iga ninja?"
Yoshito couldn't help but furrow his brows.
"Haven't I already told him? Always ensure the phone line is clear, any issues can be communicated in time, what's going on?"
Suddenly, Yoshito's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, "Could something have happened to Iga ninja?!"
"But this shouldn't be! They took the Salvador siblings all the way to Kyoto without anyone noticing, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has been searching for so long without any clues, how could something happen? It doesn't make sense!"
"If they were discovered while hiding the body at the Ito family's residence, ambushed by the Ito family's ambushers, it sounds logical, but the key is, they didn't receive their own orders, it's impossible for them to take the initiative to kill the Salvador siblings in advance, so this possibility doesn't hold up at all!"
"So, what really happened in Kyoto?"
Yoshito, who always had a plan and thought he was in control, suddenly fell into a strong self-doubt.
...
At this moment, not only Yoshito couldn't get through on the phone, but also Shinzhi, who had just lost his son.
Shinzhi had already ordered the Tenglin family ninjas ambushed in Kyoto to kill Nanako and take a video of her murder.
Then, he would use this video to torment Takehiko, making him die in extreme pain.
However, the Tenglin family ninjas had not given him any response.
He called to inquire about the progress, but the phone was completely unreachable, and several people he tried to contact didn't answer.
Seeing that none of the calls went through, Shinzhi threw his phone to the ground and angrily shouted, "This is unbelievable! It's truly unbelievable! The unbeatable Tenglin ninjas, how did they all become useless these days?"
"Before, Uno and a few others disappeared for no reason, and in the end, they were sent back frozen like popsicles. Now, this group has no news at all, are they also going to be sent back frozen like popsicles?"
One of his subordinates hurriedly spoke, "President, could it be that the Tenglin family's experts were ambushed at the Ito family?"
"Where the hell would the ambush come from?" Shinzhi angrily cursed, "The situation over there has long been figured out, the Ito family in Kyoto doesn't even have a single ninja, just a few servants, maids, and ordinary bodyguards. How could these people ambush the Tenglin family ninjas? And there were six of them!"
After speaking, Shinzhi couldn't help but mutter, "What on earth happened in Kyoto?"
Chapter 1785 - "Bet on the Second Hand: Yoshito's Risky Strategy"
Both Yoshito and Shinzhi couldn't figure out what exactly happened in Kyoto.
However, Yoshito was much shrewder than Shinzhi.
When he couldn't get in touch with the Iga ninja, although he couldn't understand why, he subconsciously realized that there was likely a significant mistake.
Thinking this, he immediately called other members of the Iga clan to inquire about the situation of the Iga ninja.
But the Iga clan members were equally clueless about what was happening in Kyoto.
They couldn't reach the Iga ninja either and didn't know if he was alive or dead.
This made Yoshito truly panic.
He paced back and forth nervously in the living room, his brows furrowed, and even the hand holding the cigar trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing his extreme nervousness, his brother Ryojie hurriedly comforted him, "Brother, don't panic. If you panic, we won't know how to deal with the situation next!"
Unlike Shinzhi, whose target was Nanako and had no connection to the Salvador family, so even if his motives were exposed, it wouldn't matter.
The strength of both families was evenly matched, so he wasn't afraid of Takehiko.
However, Yoshito was well aware that if his motives were exposed, he would not only have to face the formidable Salvador family but also the Ito and Takahashi families.
Therefore, he took a puff of his cigar and said to Ryojie, "The game I'm playing is almost like going all-in with all our chips. If I win, the Matsumoto family will become Japan's top; if I lose, the Matsumoto family will be crushed to death by the Salvador, Ito, and Takahashi families!"
He continued nervously, "Now, we can't reach the Iga ninja, Cameron and Camilla are also missing. I don't even know if our motives have been exposed. If they haven't, it's not a big deal, at most it's just the plan to frame Takehiko failing, but if they have been exposed, we basically have no way out."
Ryojie hastily asked, "Brother! We don't know if our motives have been exposed, are we just going to wait for the verdict? That's too passive, isn't it? Even if it's a death sentence, we must find a way to resist and not give up!"
After a moment of contemplation, Yoshito gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Of course, we must resist! Since we don't know the outcome of the first hand, let's bet on the second!"
Ryojie asked, "Brother, how do we bet on the second hand?"
Yoshito said sinisterly, "I bet that our motives towards the Salvador family haven't been exposed yet! In that case, we will go all out to first take down Shinzhi and Takehiko! By eliminating the two of them, we will have a chance to become number one in Japan!"
"What? Take them down?" Ryojie asked in surprise, "Shouldn't we be figuring out how to deal with the Salvador family?"
Shaking his head, Yoshito said, "Dealing with the Salvador family is wishful thinking. With their strength, once they target us, we have no power to resist."
He then added, "However, Shinzhi is definitely at his weakest now. He has lost several ninjas and his son, so it's the perfect time to kill him! Let the Iga clan send a few more ninjas to take his life! Anyway, the Iga ninjas are already on the same boat as us!"
Ryojie asked again, "What about Takehiko? How do we kill him? He doesn't seem to have suffered any loss of strength!"
Gritting his teeth, Yoshito said, "Then we have to use our wits! Go and kidnap some Tokyo Metropolitan Police officers' family members, then force these officers to come to us. Tell Takehiko to return to the police station to assist in investigating the disappearance of the Salvador siblings. As long as he leaves home, we will have a chance to strike!"
Ryojie continued, "Brother, what if the Salvador family finds out about us?"
With a wicked expression, Yoshito said, "If they really find out, it's a death sentence anyway, so why not drag Shinzhi and Takehiko down with us?"
