Chapter 727 - 766: Seize the Initiative
The warehouse door closed, and the room plunged into complete darkness. Without any lights, the sealed space was significantly darker than the outside.
The three members of the Yamaguchi Group did not mind the darkness; they were all highly skilled in stealth and assassination. They could sense the positions of their opponents across from them.
But just then, the lights inside the room suddenly blazed on, and with the illumination, a muffled groan was heard. Yamaguchi Yuki staggered backward holding his neck with one hand while pointing ahead with the other, his eyes full of shock and unwillingness to accept his fate.
"Yamamoto!" Koboto Shiryu cried out in dismay, rushing towards Yamamoto.
But Yamamoto’s hand slipped down from his neck, revealing a bloody gash. The gash burst open suddenly, and blood spurted out like a fountain. His carotid artery had been severed; there was no saving him. Yamamoto’s mouth opened as he collapsed into a pool of blood, bitterly resigned. He never imagined he would die so swiftly, without even seeing how his opponent had struck.
"Watch out!" At that moment, Yokohama Koriyo shouted, and Koboto Shiryu immediately sensed danger, lunging forward to evade the attack from behind. This close call made him break out in a cold sweat. If it weren’t for Yokohama Koriyo’s warning, he would have ended up the same as Yamamoto. He turned swiftly to see Yokohama Koriyo exchanging blows with his attacker, realizing that it wasn’t his rapid response that saved him but Yokohama’s timely rescue.
"How do you like this welcome gift?" Li Yifei inwardly lamented the missed opportunity. If Yokohama hadn’t intervened, his two successive strikes could have killed both men. But having killed one, he had achieved his initial objective. He stopped attacking, stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled as he watched Yokohama Koriyo and Koboto Shiryu.
Li Yifei’s confidence gave Yokohama Koriyo an unpleasant jolt. He glared at Li Yifei and said, "This is a trap!"
Li Yifei laughed heartily, "You’re not so dumb, after all." Taking out a small object from his pocket, he nonchalantly flicked it towards Yokohama Koriyo, taunting, "With just this tiny device, you wanted to track us, thinking we wouldn’t know? You really underestimated us Huaxia people."
It was indeed a tracker. Yokohama Koriyo had thought his opponent was bluffing, but upon seeing the tracker, he immediately realized they had been led into a trap by someone else.
