Chapter 293
Shen Ge clearly hadn’t expected that coming over to “join the fun” would end up making him the center of attention. And for a moment, he also couldn’t figure out exactly what he had taken from Sakura Country that would make them send the Watanabe siblings—two of their strongest anti-weirdness agents—all the way to Great Tianchao, even while facing a national crisis of their own.
Watanabe Natsumi turned to the balding middle-aged man and said in broken Chinese, “Councilor Luo, we brought Mr. Nohara here to give you one last chance. If you want to live… just tell us everything you know. Otherwise, not even Mr. Nohara can save you—and neither can Great Tianchao’s number one anti-weirdness agent.”
“?”
That cocky, huh?
If he wasn’t so curious to see what kind of show these people were trying to put on, Shen Ge would’ve popped out right then and there to show her what the “number one anti-weirdness agent of Great Tianchao” was really made of.
The middle-aged balding man addressed as Councilor Luo turned to his lifeline, Hiroshi, but the man’s face was blank. He just gave him a faint, indifferent look, which sent a chill down Luo’s spine. “Hiroshi, you promised me that if I cooperated with you, you’d keep me and my family safe. Sure, I didn’t get the item, but I did everything I could. You know that—I reported every single move to you. But now the higher-ups are onto me, and I’m out of options.”
Watanabe Natsumi said coldly, “Councilor Luo, it seems you’re still not willing to cooperate. Do we really have to make you suffer a little?”
As soon as she finished speaking, her brother Watanabe Natsutaka rattled off a long string of Sakura-language gibberish. Natsumi nodded at what he said, walked over to the side, and picked up a dagger.
“Wait, wait—what are you doing? What do you want me to say? I reported every step to Hiroshi! Why won’t you believe me?” Councilor Luo panicked as he watched Natsumi close in with the blade.
