Chapter 1483 - 1532: Set Out to Annihilate Motoharu
After much effort, he dragged Meng Xiaofei to the restaurant. Aoki Reiko had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for the two to get up. When she saw Meng Xiaofei and Li Yifei walking out together, Aoki Reiko merely smiled faintly, feeling a bit envious inside.
No matter if they were just like siblings or wanted to break through that relationship, a man willing to travel thousands of miles for a woman, challenging the world’s strongest without fear of life and death—that kind of emotion was enough to make Aoki Reiko admire and envy them.
At the same time, seeing Li Yifei reminded her of him. Amidst the vast sea of people, Aoki Reiko thought of him every day, yet had no idea when she’d see him again.
With a faint sigh in her heart, Aoki Reiko called over the two and said, "Come and eat, I’ve made a lot today, including the seafood you love, Mengfei."
Meng Xiaofei immediately sped up her steps, sat down, looked at the sumptuous breakfast, and acted as if she was about to drool.
Li Yifei also went over, thanked Aoki Reiko, and sat down to eat breakfast.
After finishing, Li Yifei took the breakfast Aoki Reiko had specially prepared for Sophia and walked over to her.
Pushing open the door, Li Yifei saw Sophia struggling to change clothes, her back to him, having already changed her top, with several bandages wrapped around her body. Hearing the noise, Sophia hurriedly turned around and, seeing it was Li Yifei, instinctively went to cover her chest.
Li Yifei averted his gaze slightly, continued inside, placed the breakfast on the table, and said, "Don’t cover up; whatever needs to be seen has already been seen, not to mention you’re all wrapped in bandages so there’s nothing to see."
Sophia frowned slightly at Li Yifei’s words, which were a bit frivolous but also conveyed familiarity. Having survived life and death once more together, their relationship deepened, and Sophia now felt she was completely one of Li Yifei’s people. Although not his lover, if anyone wished to kill Li Yifei now, she’d surely shield him and fight fiercely.
Li Yifei didn’t just stand there watching but helped Sophia change into a new set of clothes, saying, "You eat breakfast first. After, I’ll help you wipe down your body; we’ve gone several days without a shower and you’re starting to smell."
Sophia immediately raised her arm, lowered her head, sniffed, then pursed her lips and said, "Where’s the bad smell?"
"Haha, eat up, I’ll go wash the towel." Li Yifei laughed, heading to the bathroom.
After taking care of Sophia, Li Yifei received a call from Koboto Kobayashi. He had tracked down Motoharu’s location, but there were quite a few people on their side, and they were all desperados, so Koboto Kobayashi, after losing some men, had to request help from Li Yifei.
Li Yifei agreed to help Koboto Kobayashi, not for the two-hundred-billion US Dollars. Anyone daring to intercept him, Meng Xiaofei, and Sophia, Li Yifei would definitely not let them off.
Koboto Kobayashi came to pick up Li Yifei personally, waiting outside the gate.
Before heading out, Sophia reminded him to be careful, and Meng Xiaofei, holding Li Yifei’s hand, accompanied him to the door, released his hand, waved to him with a faint smile, and said, "Brother Li, I’ll prepare something tasty for when you return."
"Alright, I’m in the mood for lobster." Li Yifei said, gesturing the size with his hands, "This big."
Meng Xiaofei gaped in surprise, "But... I don’t have any money."
"Dummy. Here." Li Yifei tossed a wallet to her. Meng Xiaofei caught it without checking if there was money inside, saluted Li Yifei, and said, "At your command, Chief, I’ll complete the task."
With just a few words, the lingering worries were dispelled. Li Yifei waved at Aoki Reiko and got into Koboto Kobayashi’s car.
A short distance away from the house, Koboto Kobayashi respectfully said, "Mr. Golden Eagle, it’s my incompetence; I’ve come to trouble you again!"
Li Yifei smiled faintly, eyes ahead, and said, "It’s okay, tell me about Motoharu’s setup."
Koboto Kobayashi swallowed hard; although Li Yifei had agreed to help, if he insisted Koboto Kobayashi take action himself, he had no choice.
Koboto Kobayashi didn’t dare delay, quickly saying, "Motoharu now has about two hundred men, with roughly forty loyal subordinates. The rest were gathered temporarily, unreliable types, yet Motoharu handed out large sums of money to these people and promised many things. So now they’re all around him, while my people have clashed with them several times, taking some losses, and now we’re at a stalemate..."
"And what do you want me to do?" Li Yifei had a basic idea. Facing around two hundred people, armed with modern weapons, it’s not feasible to charge recklessly. That wouldn’t be heroic, but rather suicidal.
Koboto Kobayashi hesitated for a moment and said, "I don’t know what to do either. I have weapons in my hands, but I don’t dare to cause too much trouble. Like last time, with so many people dead in an instant, I’m afraid the government will really step in and intervene. Right now, there are already many departments keeping an eye on us."
"Do you mean that if the conflict becomes too widespread, even if we win in the end, the Yamaguchi Group might still be dealt with by the government as an excuse?"
"Yes... The Yamaguchi Group’s relationship with the government has been a bit stiff in recent years, and many young people in the country have started to resist and reject the Yamaguchi Group. If an internal conflict breaks out now, it’s very likely the government will take action. By then, the Yamaguchi Group might not split, but it will suffer heavy losses... so I’m not sure what to do. But one thing is certain, Motoharu must die. He not only violated the rules of the Yamaguchi Group but also tried to plot against Mr. Golden Eagle, for which he deserves to die."
Li Yifei smiled and said, "You could just tell the last part directly, why beat around the bush."
With a simple remark, Koboto Kobayashi immediately broke into a cold sweat, his waist bent over in fear, and he said with a face full of apprehension, "Mr. Golden Eagle, it’s my fault. I just really didn’t know what to do, that’s why I said it to you this way!"
"I know. Then just kill Motoharu, oh, and also those who tried to assassinate me that day," Li Yifei said.
Koboto Kobayashi hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we’ll kill them, but what about the others... My people have already surrounded them, but the opposition is just like a cornered beast, fighting desperately with strong resistance!"
"Your use of metaphors is not bad!" Li Yifei said indifferently, Koboto Kobayashi awkwardly smiled, just to hear Li Yifei say, "Go directly there, have someone announce, say that I’m here, that we’re only killing Motoharu, the others can live, and those who want to return to the Yamaguchi Group, you won’t trouble them anymore, it’s that simple."
Koboto Kobayashi was dumbfounded, and after a long time, he said, "Is it really that simple? Mr. Golden Eagle, how could those people be scared so easily..."
"How will you know unless you try."
"Alright, then I’ll have someone try it out."
Li Yifei closed his eyes to rest, and Koboto Kobayashi, not daring to bother him further, pulled out a phone and gave low instructions.
By the time the car was about to reach the location, Koboto Kobayashi’s people had been shouting for half an hour. At the beginning, no one believed them, the opposition also sent their people to communicate, but when Li Yifei got out of the car, those holed up among the villas, which were the private property of Motoharu, retreated. The surrounding hills were all under his ownership, situated on a private island, with only two roads leading here. The island was not very large, but not small either, and considered a difficult-to-attack terrain. They occupied the high ground, deploying snipers on the heights to target.
Koboto Kobayashi’s men lacked high-level military training, rushing forward only to become easy targets for the snipers. Even if the opposition was not accurate, their ten shots would always hit one or two, and a sniper bullet could blast the body of the hit person apart.
After a few were killed, Koboto Kobayashi’s subordinates hesitated to charge.
After Li Yifei got out of the car, he surveyed the terrain and realized this was indeed a good hideout, not to mention there were over two hundred people on the island. This number could form a small army, making it difficult for him to rush in by himself.
Unless under the cover of night, executing a surprise attack, but that too would be a challenge.
Koboto Kobayashi’s side had more people, but few were willing to die. After several deaths today, there was even more hesitation to act recklessly.
Koboto Kobayashi valued his life too much to lead the charge forward himself.
This wasn’t a war; if it were, one charge under covering fire wouldn’t make it difficult to get onto the island. Once in close quarters, it wouldn’t be hard to seize the momentum.
But these were hypotheticals; the present conditions did not permit it.
Li Yifei watched for a while, discovering three or four sniper points, and directly called Koboto Kobayashi over, saying, "Prepare a sniper rifle for me."
Koboto Kobayashi was slightly stunned, but nodded repeatedly, saying, "Alright, I’ll fetch one right away!"
In a short time, Koboto Kobayashi brought two men over, carrying a sniper rifle. Upon one glance, Li Yifei recognized it – a Barrett M82A1.
This gun was developed and produced by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing of the United States, a heavy SASR special-purpose sniper rifle. Most Western countries’ militaries, including US special forces, use the M82, nicknamed "Light Fifty" by the US Army for its use of the Browning M2 heavy machine gun’s large-caliber 12.7×99 NATO (.50 BMG, 12.7 mm) ammunition. This gun has two derivatives — the original M82A1 (A3) and the bullpup configured M82A2 for portability; later models like M500 inherited its design spirit using the bullpup configuration. Renowned for its long range, high accuracy, and great power, it dominates the 12.7 mm sniper rifle market and has been acquired by the military and police forces of dozens of countries.
Li Yifei had encountered this type of sniper rifle countless times on the battlefield before. It’s a large-caliber, high-power sniper rifle. Of course, the fact that Li Yifei was still standing here meant that this gun had not managed to kill him.
