Boss Jiang drove personally.

Time was of the essence, and he was the one most familiar with Kyoto’s traffic.

The Four Great Kings sat in the car, silent and exuding a lethal aura.

It was indeed a matter of coming early rather than coming at the right time.

As soon as they landed, they had to get to work immediately.

Unlike the pampered and delicate celebrities in the entertainment industry who cry and scream for their moms at the slightest scratch, although they all looked like Korean drama heartthrobs, when faced with unknown dangers, their faces showed no fear, only determination and sternness.

Fortunately,

The contact with Fujiwara Reiki was not interrupted.

And they still maintained real-time location sharing.

On the phone screen placed on the central console, Fujiwara Reiki’s location had stopped moving, but it wasn’t at the hotel, instead, it was...

That location.

It seemed like her private residence in Kyoto from before.

Jiang Chen had been there once, for the ninja who had climbed over the wall and run away, and to confirm if she was indeed Koda Kaoru.

A sly rabbit has three burrows.

For their own safety, important figures generally do not live in one spot permanently.

"Jiang Sang, I don’t dare to go to the hotel; it must have already been compromised. I’m at the house I bought previously on the second ring road, Jiang Sang hurry!"

The real-time location sharing stopped.

Only a voice message remained.

Had there been an attack, or had she sensed danger?

Even until now, the situation on that side was unclear, and as Jiang Chen rushed over at full speed, he gradually sensed that something was amiss.

The reaction of that demoness.

Wasn’t it too exaggerated?

Considering the environment she grew up in, was her mindset really that fragile?

It wasn’t the first time knowing the other party.

In the Japanese Imperial Palace, when she dragged him into mischief, nearly getting caught in bed by the Japanese Little Princess, she remained calm and unfazed even in such a terrifying situation, yet now she was getting hysterical over some danger?

It didn’t make sense.

It wasn’t logical.

But in any case, Jiang Chen couldn’t just turn a blind eye.

Reaching the spot where the sharing last stopped, the car came to a halt as Jiang Chen looked outside.

The gate was wide open.

"Bang bang bang..."

The Four Great Kings immediately got out of the car. After Jiang Chen stepped out of the driver’s seat, they harmoniously protected him in the middle, leaving no blind spot.

Jiang Chen walked quickly inside, all the while unobtrusively observing his surroundings.

The familiar environment remained.

It hadn’t become desolate due to Fujiwara Reiki’s return, indicating someone had been taking care of it.

No sounds of fighting.

No cries of pain.

The entire house was deathly silent, almost soundless, the desolate woods exuding a terrifying sense of eeriness, as if some invisible beast was lurking in the darkness, silently watching the five of them, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The Four Great Kings protected the sides, watching all directions and listening to all sounds, it would be difficult for any movement to escape their acute senses.

"Whoosh!"

Just stepping into the courtyard where he last met Fujiwara Reiki, a sharp whistling sound came through the air.

"Mr. Jiang, watch out!"

The Golden Lion King at the front-right side instantly moved to block Jiang Chen, using his body as the safest barrier.

"Swoosh!"

A small sharp object easily pierced through clothing, but strangely, no crimson blood flowed out.

Don’t be mistaken.

It’s not some invincible divine skill; reality isn’t a martial arts novel, and Golden Lion King is just a convenient codename by Boss Jiang.

Underneath their casual outfits, the Four Great Kings wore hard body armor, unlike soft ones, these bulletproof vests with ceramic or steel plates could not only stop bullets but also prevent bladed weapon injuries, like swords, spears, or axes, or hidden weapons,

The Golden Lion King lifted his hand, removing the hidden weapon stopped by the vest.

It was actually a dart?

Though wearing the vest, the fact that they could instinctively use their bodies to shield the boss in a split second was proof of their loyalty.

Jiang Chen was quite satisfied, his eyes swept past the Golden Lion King still in front of him, and upon seeing the scene in the courtyard, his gaze suddenly flickered.

Under the tranquil moonlight,

Sakura, who might become the youngest upper-level Ninja in Japan, stood alone in the courtyard.

Disheveled clothing.

Indeed.

As if she had just been through a fierce battle.

Her clothing torn in many places.

Moreover,

Her attire tonight was quite special.

It was a female ninja suit, with only her private parts covered, her strong legs were encased in black lustrous stockings.

Yes.

The stockings were ripped too.

Revealing the flesh of her legs beneath.

The contrasting black-and-white hues portraying a distinct allure at this moment.

Even though Sakura looked tragic and heartfelt, for some reason, a peculiar allure was present.

The dart just now was undoubtedly thrown by her.

It was clearly a misunderstanding.

She must have mistaken Jiang Chen and his group for enemies.

"Allies."

Jiang Chen pushed aside the Golden Lion King before him, silently surveying Sakura in the courtyard.

Sakura also recognized him and refrained from further attacks.

They wore bulletproof vests, but nothing shielded the mind, and that dart was nearly as swift as a bullet earlier.

"Where is she?"

Despite Sakura’s tragic condition, Jiang Chen remained remarkably composed, showing no signs of panic.

It wasn’t indifference to Fujiwara Reiki’s fate.

If he didn’t care about that demoness’s life and death, he wouldn’t have rushed over straight away.

The reason for his calmness, perhaps, was because Sakura looked wounded indeed, but despite the torn, crimson-edged ninja suit and shredded stockings, she wasn’t bleeding.

Indeed.

The ninja suit and stockings were torn, but she bore no wounds on her body.
