Chapter 662: Chapter 661, The Gang Leader’s Beautiful Daughter

Qingluan didn’t answer Xu Wendong’s question. Instead, she walked to the wine cabinet, picked out a bottle of expensive red wine, and took two tall glasses from the disinfecting cabinet.

She unwrapped the paper covering the wine, gently held the bottle, and in the next second, the cork slowly eased out of the bottle.

This scene left Xu Wendong speechless.

The way she held the bottle was uncannily similar to how his confidante held his heirloom device.

Furthermore.

The image of the cork slowly rising was strikingly like his second brother raising its proud head.

It was quite suggestive.

”Have you ever heard of the Battle of Si Shui?” Qingluan handed Xu Wendong a tall glass filled with a dark red liquid, like blood swirling in the glass.

Xu Wendong furrowed his brow, ”I’ve heard something about it. As far as I know, the Battle of Si Shui wasn’t very large, with about a thousand enemies eliminated.”

”However, I have a lot of questions about this battle.”

Qingluan crossed her legs, wearing an elegant and alluring smile, ”Go ahead.”

Xu Wendong said, ”As far as I know, Si Shui City is just an ordinary small town. Even if the devils invaded back then, trying to take over our homeland, Si Shui City wasn’t an important strategic point. Why did a small battle happen there?”

He liked history.

In school, he had read a lot about modern history.

So he knew about the Battle of Si Shui.

Yet, he didn’t understand why the Battle of Si Shui occurred.

”You’re thinking too small!” Qingluan shook her head, ”You can’t look at this matter with a commoner’s eyes. You need to consider it historically.”

Xu Wendong’s brow remained furrowed.

Consider the battle historically?

In the next moment.

An idea flashed in his mind, ”You mentioned before that the Tokyo National Museum has a legendary item. There aren’t many legends about Si Shui, but there is one well-known tale.”

”Great Yu controlled the floods, cast the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, and submerged them in the Si Shui River.”

”Could that battle have something to do with the Nine Tripod Cauldrons?” Xu Wendong felt goosebumps rising all over his body.

The story of Great Yu controlling the floods was well-known.

The Nine Tripod Cauldrons were the ultimate symbol of royal power and national unity.

The Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties revered them as the national treasure representing their authority. During the Warring States period, both Qin and Chu sent troops to the Zhou capital, Luoyang, to demand the cauldrons.

During King Zhao of Zhou’s reign, the Nine Tripod Cauldrons sank in the Si Shui River.

Later emperors deeply valued the symbolic power and significance of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons and repeatedly attempted to remake them. Empress Wu Zetian and Emperor Huizong of Song both recast the cauldrons.

Qingluan said, ”No one knows if that battle was about finding the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, but it’s said that the Tokyo National Museum has a Bronze Square Cauldron.”

”Whether or not the Bronze Square Cauldron is one of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, I must go to the Tokyo National Museum,” Xu Wendong’s eyes flashed with cold determination.

His trip to Wa Country had three objectives: to annihilate the country’s cultivation forces, to visit the Yasukuni Shrine, and now an additional visit to the Tokyo National Museum.

Thump, thump!

At this moment, the room door was knocked.

Xu Wendong opened the door, and Wang Anping came into view.

After entering the suite, Wang Anping said, ”The base of the Sangou Group has been thoroughly investigated. It’s on the top floor of Haitang Mansion, where security is extremely tight, with the world’s most stringent security measures. It’s no exaggeration to say that not even a mosquito could fly in.”

”The Sangou Group’s leader, Kanamoto Ichiro, lives there.”

Xu Wendong said, ”With my abilities, I could completely storm in, but doing so would definitely expose my whereabouts. If that happens, it might not be worth the risk.”

His purpose for this trip was to eliminate the Wa Country’s cultivation forces, and recklessly revealing himself would be detrimental to the subsequent plans.

Wang Anping continued, ”Although Kanamoto Ichiro lives in Haitang Mansion, he has an illegitimate daughter living elsewhere, whom he values greatly. He’s assigned many experts to protect her in secret.”

Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up, ”We can definitely use Kanamoto Ichiro’s illegitimate daughter as leverage. There’s no way we can’t draw out Kanamoto Ichiro.”

------

An hour later.

Xu Wendong arrived at a high-end residential area.

In this bustling international metropolis, high-rise buildings were everywhere.

However, there weren’t many villa areas.

This showed just how much Kanamoto Ichiro valued his daughter, Jingchuan Keiko.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let his daughter live in such a high-end area, with four black business cars parked around the villa, each containing five members of the Sangou Group with thick vital energy.

Not only that, but a powerful killing intent emanated from each of them.

Clearly, their hands had blood on them.

Inside the villa.

Jingchuan Keiko wore a white princess dress, her delicate features resembling a doll, with skin as fair and tender as a fresh flower.

She sat quietly in front of the dressing table, looking at photos of her and her mother, a hint of pain and longing on her face.

This was the only photo she had with her mother.

It was taken on her sixth birthday.

After her birthday, her mother tragically died in a car accident.

It was after that accident.

That she learned.

She actually had a father.

But.

Her father was very busy and rarely visited her.

Even though he provided her with a life of luxury.

What she truly longed for was just her father’s companionship.

Even if life were a bit harder, it wouldn’t matter to her.

Rather than being raised like a canary in a gilded cage.

Take today, for instance!

Today was her eighteenth birthday.

Though her father sent someone to deliver a cake.

No one was with her to celebrate, no one to share the cake and joy.

Just then.

She heard a strange noise from the living room.

Her bright eyes shone with an incredulous light as she immediately lifted her skirt and excitedly ran downstairs. When she saw an unfamiliar face, she was stunned for a moment, with timidity in her eyes. She then asked softly, ”Did Father send you to spend my birthday with me?”

Xu Wendong was stunned as well.

He didn’t expect her to speak in the Huaxia language.

”Are you Chinese?” Xu Wendong asked.

Jingchuan Keiko nodded, ”My mother is from Huaxia.”

At that moment.

Xu Wendong felt a headache coming on.

If Jingchuan Keiko were from Wa Country, he wouldn’t hesitate to use her against Kanamoto Ichiro.

But now...

He couldn’t bring himself to do it.

After all.

She had half of the blood of the Descendants of Yan and Huang within her.

Especially with her gaze filled with hope and nervousness, Xu Wendong found it hard to refuse her request. He smiled and said, ”Yes, Mr. Kanamoto sent me to celebrate your birthday.” As he spoke, a wildflower bouquet appeared in his hand as if by magic.

These wildflowers were taken from the Minor World.

”Wow, such beautiful flowers. Thank you!” Jingchuan Keiko was amazed by Xu Wendong’s trick, her eyes full of admiration, ”May I ask your name?”

”Xu Wendong.”

Jingchuan Keiko solemnly nodded, engraving his name in her heart, then sincerely invited him to the dining room, where a sumptuous meal was already set on the table.

There was Chinese cuisine, as well as some exquisite Japanese dishes.

And, of course, an eight-inch small cake.

At this moment.

Xu Wendong found himself lost in thought, ”Even to celebrate his daughter’s birthday, he sends someone else. Can I really use Jingchuan Keiko as leverage to force Kanamoto Ichiro to appear?”
