Very quickly, Li Qiang delivered a Browning handgun. The gun was old, but that didn't affect its functionality. Zhou Kai held the gun, carefully checking the bullets inside, then chambered a round. He aimed the gun at the ninja.

"No, you said you wouldn't kill me," the ninja exclaimed in surprise.

"I said I wouldn't kill you if I was in a good mood, but I'm in a very bad mood now," Lin Chuan replied with a cold smile.

The ninja was stunned, gritting his teeth, angrily saying, "You're playing me."

"Yes, I'm playing you." Lin Chuan shrugged and said, "When dealing with Japanese, we never speak of honor, there's only one word—kill!"

At this moment, the ninja immediately activated the invisibility technique, and a living person vanished into thin air.

"Damn, do you take me for a fool?" Zhou Kai cursed in irritation, "Isn't it just a trick? Let's see if I can't kill you!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhou Kai fired three shots with a deadpan expression.

A burst of blood spray exploded in the air, and soon, the enemy materialized from invisibility. A bullet had hit their chest, their head, and shoulder, causing their head to slowly slump down. Unfortunately, a look of unwillingness appeared on their face, their wide-open eyes refusing to close.

"Dead." Zhou Kai returned the handgun to Li Qiang.

"Put the body in a chemical barrel, fill it with cement, and sink it to the bottom of the river," Lin Chuan ordered as he walked out.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded emphatically.

..................

Qin Han Restaurant.

Today was the day for the Japanese ninja's operation. He Chuanliu had sent a message to himself early on. The ninja had been dispatched to complete the task, expected to finish before midnight tonight. Once the task was completed, the ninja would bring Lin Chuan's head back to Qin Han Restaurant for confirmation and collect the final payment check.

Qin Dalei had been waiting in Qin Han Restaurant all along.

Midnight had passed, yet there was still no news from He Chuanliu's ninja.

"What's going on? Why hasn't he come yet?" The man in the suit was extremely anxious. According to protocol, the other party shouldn't be a minute late. That's definitely not the way of the Japanese ninja nor in accordance with their principles.

If the other party was late, not only could they withhold the final payment, but they could even ask for the previously paid advance back. However, they didn't want to pursue any responsibility from the other side now. They just wanted to get the job done quickly, to kill Lin Chuan. If the ninja failed the task, it would be troublesome.

"Don't worry!" Qin Dalei was not flustered at all. He believed the ninja could definitely kill Lin Chuan, who was just an ordinary person and couldn't possibly withstand a ninja's attack. In Qin Dalei's view, a ninja was omnipotent. Qin Dalei's understanding of ninjas was quite limited, and they seemed to be of the deified variety in his mind.

Qin Dalei's mouth curved into a strange smile. "With Japanese ninjas involved, what are we worried about?"

"But the other side hasn't come yet?" The man in the suit was a bit worried.

"Don't worry, maybe they just got held up for a moment," Qin Dalei said, puffing a cigar and savoring its rich taste in his mouth. Satisfied, he said, "Once midnight is over tonight, Lin Chuan won't appear in this world again."

The man in the suit looked worried.

At this moment, Xiao Hei hurriedly walked in from outside, panting heavily.

"Xiao Hei, what's wrong?" The man in the suit asked hastily.

"It's not good," Xiao Hei said urgently, "A message has just spread on the street."

"What message?" The man in the suit asked in confusion.

"They say... they say Lin Chuan captured a ninja," Xiao Hei said awkwardly. "The rumor is going around like wildfire, and I don't know if it's true. If Lin Chuan really captured a ninja, then... then our mission has failed."

Qin Dalei was taken aback at first, then said gravely, "This might be a trap, so we must be careful. Xiao Hei, send a few guys to Feixiang Company to check the situation and see who spread the word on the street."

"Yes!" Xiao Hei nodded immediately. He quickly turned and left.

This time, Qin Dalei couldn't sit still. The man in the suit beside him said urgently, "Mr. Qin, if the ninja was really captured by Lin Chuan, then we should carefully consider our next steps, don't you think?"

"What should we consider next!" Qin Dalei immediately asked.

"Consider leaving Jiangbei City," the man in the suit said immediately. "If even a ninja can't handle Lin Chuan, we might not be able to do anything against him for a while, so we should leave here quickly. After all, as long as the green hills exist, there's no worry about firewood. There is plenty of time, and we have many opportunities to deal with Lin Chuan in the future. We have significant power overseas, and one day we will make a comeback."

Qin Dalei gritted his teeth and said, "If I just leave like this, what will others think of me?"

"Mr. Qin, this is absolutely not what we should be considering now," the man in the suit said urgently. "We shouldn't care about others' opinions anymore. Your achievements abroad have already made others admire you. Even if you leave now, others will only think you disdain competing with Lin Chuan."

"Wait a moment." Qin Dalei shook his head, his face dark, and said, "I still don't believe the Japanese ninja would lose to Lin Chuan, and even be captured by Lin Chuan. This is simply a grave humiliation."

The man in the suit nodded helplessly and said, "Alright, then let's wait a little longer."

The man in the suit didn't want to wait another minute. It's already half past midnight; it was clear the ninja's operation had completely failed. Success was impossible. By ninja code, nothing should exceed one minute. Now, it's already been over half an hour, which shows the rumors on the street are most likely true. Therefore, the man in the suit was extremely worried.

Qin Dalei furrowed his brows, restless, sometimes sitting in the rattan chair, other times pacing the room.

One in the morning.

Xiao Hei finally returned, sweating profusely as if he had been running all over the place. This was a significant matter and needed his personal oversight. Many places were personally visited by Xiao Hei to gather information. After confirming the truth, he hurried back.

"Brother, it's bad." Xiao Hei's face didn't look good.

"What happened?" Qin Dalei grabbed Xiao Hei's hand, extremely agitated.

"It's true." Xiao Hei said anxiously, "The news is true, Lin Chuan indeed captured a ninja and reportedly... reportedly killed him!"

"What?!" Qin Dalei exclaimed, "What's going on here?!"

"Killed?!" The man in the suit couldn't help but jump up in shock either.

It seemed this situation had escalated. Killing a Japanese ninja was indeed terrifying. A Japanese ninja was even more expensive than a pilot, than training a special forces warrior. Hekawa-ryu wouldn't easily forgive Lin Chuan this time.

"Hahaha..." Suddenly, the man in the suit burst into laughter, excitedly saying, "Mr. Qin, this time Lin Chuan is definitely in trouble."

"I'm not concerned about that." Qin Dalei furrowed his brows and said, "I'm concerned about whether he'll come after us?!"

The man in the suit was stunned, awkwardly saying, "Brother, let's get out of here quickly. Since Lin Chuan dared to kill a ninja, it means he'd likely dare to attack us as well. If we don't leave now, it might be too late."

Qin Dalei took a deep breath and said, "Alright, let's leave immediately."

After speaking, Qin Dalei promptly left the Qin Han Restaurant.

The man in the suit and Xiao Hei quickly followed, outside, a Mercedes business vehicle carrying them swiftly left Jiangbei City, heading directly for the provincial capital.

Once they left, it was half past two in the morning.

A Jinbei van sped over, people rushed off the van, and Qin Han Restaurant was brightly lit. Inside were also some of Qin Dalei's underlings. The opposition quickly surged out from inside the restaurant.

A leading man in a suit glanced at Lin Chuan and said, "Mr. Lin, it's late at night, and you've brought so many people to my Qin Han Restaurant. What's your intention?"

"Damn it, bring Qin Dalei, that damned bastard, to me." Zhou Kai walked over carrying two axes.

The man in the suit paused for a moment then laughed, "Mr. Qin left an hour and a half ago, he's gone to the United States. If you're looking for him, go find him in the United States."

"Damn, who are you fooling?" Lu Dapao walked over carrying a machete and cursed, "Move aside, we're going in to find someone."

"I've already told you." The man in the suit said somewhat displeased, "Mr. Qin has already left, don't make trouble here, or don't blame us for being impolite."

"Damn it." Zhou Kai cursed and said, "Brothers, break in!"

Swish...

Everyone rushed forward. The people at Qin Han Restaurant didn't seem willing either, several people blocked the entrance.

Zhou Kai cursed, "Get out of the way, we're only here for Qin Dalei today, bystanders move aside or you'll deserve it if you get hacked to death."

The opposition heard this, it was intolerable.

"Brothers, these bandits want to seize our turf, do you agree?" the leading man in the suit asked.

"No!" The brothers at the Qin Han Restaurant shook their heads.

"Damn, you asked for it, hit them!" Zhou Kai swung his arms, and the two axes fiercely chopped toward the opposition.

The opposition's man in the suit wasn't weak either, the iron rod in his hand fiercely struck. Zhou Kai and the opponent were evenly matched.

The scene quickly became chaotic, in the darkness, many passing gangsters watched from the side. Some people took out phones to start recording video, although not very clear, it was obvious that Lin Chuan's men were fighting with the Qin Han Restaurant people.

Zhou Kai wielded two axes, while the man in the suit desperately countered with the iron rod in his hand.
