Lin Mu chuckled, his right hand emitted a plume of black qi again. The black qi swiftly engulfed Yitian’s entire body. Soon, Yitian felt a sense of great relief, as if all the poisonous insects in his body had been driven away. Although his throat and several key points on his body were still bleeding, the injury meant nothing for a zombie-like little devil like Yitian, so he stopped groaning, gasping heavily.

Lin Mu placed his hands on his hips, glanced at Yitian, "Alright, I don’t want to waste time on nonsense. Quickly tell me what I want to know, or there won’t be room for negotiation next time, and I’ll ask you again after you’ve suffered enough for an hour."

Yitian looked at Lin Mu. He had just experienced that feeling of being unable to live or die, and if he had to endure it again, Yitian would rather die immediately.

"I’ll talk, I’ll tell everything." Ultimately, Yitian couldn’t resist Lin Mu’s violent threats and confessed honestly, "I was sent by the Corporation to negotiate with the Jinye. This bottle of DNA-catalyzing enzyme is just a sample, used to negotiate terms with Jinye. In a few days, our boss from the Corporation will negotiate with Jinye."

"Haha, so you’re just a minion after all," Lin Mu laughed.

Yitian glanced at Lin Mu, saying nothing. What Lin Mu said was indeed right. In the Corporation, he was indeed a small role, and the big boss hadn’t arrived yet.

"I’ve got a question. What are your terms for negotiating with Jinye? I don’t think it’s just about money, right?" Lin Mu asked again.

"Not just money, last time with the ordinary DNA-catalyzing enzyme, the condition was to exchange for those ten treasures owned by Su’s Great Enterprise. This time, the improved enzyme is being exchanged for the rule over the underground world of Huaxia," Yitian confessed.

After hearing Yitian’s confession, Lin Mu seemed to understand why a big shot like Jinye was trying to get those ten treasures from Sophie. Turns out it was for someone else. As for the second condition, it seemed the Corporation had a big appetite and unrealistic thoughts. Did they think relying on a fat pig like Jinye could get them the rule of Huaxia’s underground world? That was underestimating Lin Mu, who always felt superior and didn’t take Jinye seriously at all.

"So, Jinye, you haven’t gotten the improved catalytic enzyme yet?" Lin Mu asked.

Yitian nodded, "No, in a few days, our boss from the Jushi Association, Mr. Uro Iji, will personally come to negotiate with Jinye."

"Roughly when?"

"In the next few days."

Lin Mu nodded, "Hmm, alright then."

"I’ve said it all. Please keep your promise and let me go," Yitian said, looking at Lin Mu. Clearly, he hadn’t truly grasped the Samurai Spirit of the Yamato Race.

"Alright, considering you’ve confessed in such detail, I won’t let you die a painful death. I’ll leave you with a whole corpse." Lin Mu turned his hand into a knife and struck Yitian’s temple.

Lin Mu naturally wouldn’t leave Yitian alive. First because East Japan was the country Lin Mu hated most, and because Yitian’s identity was already exposed, he had to die.

"Huaxia people, no integrity, no Samurai Spirit..."

"To little devils like you, I never talk about integrity!"

As Lin Mu let go, Yitian’s body trembled, and there was no more sound of pain, only collapsing to the ground.

Man Luo glanced at Lin Mu and then said, "We’re not done yet. Looks like we’ll be staying here a few more days."

Lin Mu nodded, "Things seem to be getting increasingly complicated, already involving the Corporation. Let’s leave here first."

"Hmm," Man Luo nodded, and together they left the room with Lin Mu.

Meanwhile, in the office on the twentieth floor of the Imperial International Club Mansion, Jinye had just returned from Yamamoto’s residence,

with a loud crash, angrily threw the teacup from his desk to the ground.

Mei Niang stood aside, quickly stepped forward to soothe him, "Master Jin, what’s wrong?"

"Yamamoto’s dead. His home was burned to ashes. He held the formula for the DNA-catalyzing enzyme. Now it’s all gone," Jinye said, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

"But don’t we still have a lot in our factory?" Mei Niang said.

"So what? But what I want is the formula. With the formula, I can have more and better DNA-catalyzing enzymes, to complete the formula upgrade!"

"Master Jin, why do you think Yamamoto’s house caught fire? Even if a fire started, he would have surely escaped, right?" Mei Niang caressed Jinye’s chest, trying to calm him down while posing her question.

Jinye took a deep breath, rubbing his bald head, "I suspect someone’s out to get me this time. Even if Yamamoto was asleep and didn’t escape, there were lots of bodyguards at his house. They couldn’t all fail to escape, unless someone did them in."

"Who would target us? You know, here in Zhengzhou, or anywhere in the Henan area, no one dares mess with you," Mei Niang said.

"Publicly, no one dares come forward, but secretly there must be those who don’t know their place. I know there are quite a few who want me dead hiding in the shadows," Jinye said coldly.

"Who do you think it might be?"

"If I knew who, do you think I’d still be sitting here? Better to kill a hundred wrongly than let one go, but I don’t even have a clue of who to suspect." Jinye said resentfully.

"Master Jin, what do you plan to do?" Mei Niang asked.

"There’s no other way, we can only take it step by step, using Jinye Group’s entire network to thoroughly investigate. The formula is lost, but luckily the factory still has stock. Soon, Mr. Iji will come to Zhengzhou, and they will bring the improved catalytic enzyme. Once we get it, the whole underground world will be ours. Also, be careful lately, send more people to stay close by, I have a bad sense of foreboding, like danger is creeping closer to me." Jinye instructed.

Mei Niang smiled, "Master Jin, aren’t you being too cautious? In Zhengzhou, it’s like being in your own home. Who would dare cause you trouble?"

"Mei Niang, remember, better safe than sorry, it’s not about thieves stealing, but fearing they remember us. We are in the open, they are in the shadows. If they strike, they surely mean to kill, so we must be vigilant, not get careless and lose our lives." Jinye reminded.

"Got it, Master Jin, you’re so good. You’re even caring for me at a time like this," Mei Niang said, then snuggled up to Jinye.

Jinye wrapped his arms around Mei Niang, his big hands naturally slipped into her shorts, groping up and down within.
