Chapter 393: Oda Chihide
“The Qin Family? Could it be the one that is a descendant of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty?” Xu Qiyin searched his memory, then expressed surprise.
“You’re sharp, Young Master Yan, hit the nail on the head.”
Huang Yechun explained, “As they say, one mountain cannot contain two tigers, the Qin Family and the Sun Family have always been contending for supremacy over the Zhonghai City territory. Their open and covert battles can be traced back decades, yet the outcome remains unclear. This incident of Xu Fan committing murder, if Qin Dongyue knew about it, he certainly wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity to forcefully pressure the Sun Family.”
“What you say makes sense. Let’s do it that way,” Xu Qiyin wasn’t necessarily set on ruining the Sun Family, he just wanted to vent his anger and discipline the Sun Family, so he didn’t take it too much to heart.
“Rest assured, Young Master Yan.” Huang Yechun sighed with relief internally, smiled lightly, and said, “This matter is not trivial, it’s still better to talk to Qin Dongyue in person.”
“No problem.”
With Xu Qiyin’s affirmation, Huang Yechun immediately dialed Qin Dongyue’s phone number and the two exchanged pleasantries as usual after connecting.
Seeing the conversation was going well, Huang Yechun stated his purpose, “Family Head Qin, I’ve heard that your relationship with Sun Lihua is somewhat tense, is this true?”
“Family Head Qin, you’re really quite forthright, I admire that. Nonetheless, since you’ve assisted me in gathering information just now, it’s only right that I repay this favor by giving you a piece of news. It just so happens that this news could be of use to you, Family Head Qin, and might even greatly assist you in climbing to power once more. How about it, does Family Head Qin fancy a listen?” Huang Yechun said in a light tone.
“…” Qin Dongyue pondered for a while but did not make his stance clear, merely saying, “Mr. Huang, my eldest son is also in the Jun Tian Grand Hotel. With two esteemed guests visiting Zhonghai, it’s only right to provide a welcoming banquet to dust the journey off.”
“In that case, I can hardly decline.” Huang Yechun answered with a light chuckle.
A minute later, the two ended their call.
Xu Qiyin had been watching all along and now asked, “Old Huang, what did he say?”
Huang Yechun smiled broadly and said, “Qin Dongyue truly is an old fox. He clearly showed great interest in our proposal but out of concern for his sensitive status, he found it inconvenient to meet with us directly. However, he has sent his son to provide us a warm reception.”
“It makes no difference to me,” Xu Qiyin said, not caring who it was as long as someone showed up.
Huang Yechun nodded, “Young Master Yan makes a good point. I believe Qin Dongyue has been eyeing opportunities for a long time, but one false move and everything is lost, so he not only keeps himself behind the scenes but also seizes every opportunity to strike at his political enemies. Hence, we should only give a hint in this matter and not get too deeply involved. They themselves will know how to operate.”
“That makes it a lot simpler. Well then, let’s go meet this eldest son of the Qin Family,” said Xu Qiyin, yawning tiredly.
The two left the room, took the elevator, and arrived at a highly sophisticated private room in the hotel.
At this time, Qin Haowu was entertaining a special guest—an Island Country national.
A while back, substituting for Qin Dongyue, he went to the Island Country to discuss a business cooperation with the Oda Family, and after getting acquainted, both parties were optimistic about the collaboration.
Thus, two days ago, Qin Haowu brought representatives from the Oda Family to Yan Country’s Zhonghai City for an on-site inspection.
After two days of observation, the Oda Family had a rough understanding of the Qin Family’s power and were ready to proceed with the cooperation, now preparing to execute the contract signing.
“Mr. Oda Dairo, have the past two days in Zhonghai met your satisfaction?”
Qin Haowu smiled as he began to speak.
He was 26 or 27, with average height, yet his appearance was striking, his hair impeccably styled. Dressed in a high-end suit, he presented a sharp image, exuding an air of a noble elite with every move he made. If he were out to pick up girls, who knows how many members of the association for good looks he would charm—overall, he seemed much stronger than his younger brother Qin Haowen.
Across from Qin Haowu was a man of a similar age with small eyes, a flat nose, thick lips, and a high forehead—which altogether comprised an ugly face, yet his eyes occasionally revealed a lascivious gleam.
This man was Oda Chihide, the representative leader of the Oda clan who had come to Yan Country, and also the current young master of the Oda clan.
By Oda Chihide’s side, each of two beautiful women attended to him. Their makeup was thick, their clothes scant, their exposed skin glistened white and they had round, full figures and long slender legs. Both women were very open, clinging to Oda Chihide, exuding a wild and flirtatious energy.
Oda Chihide, unable to contain his smile, said in a rather poor Mandarin, “Haowu-san, Zhonghai City, as the most impressive metropolis of Yan Country, has already integrated internationally, bustling and splendid. It was worth coming here. What surprises me most is how passionate and lively the girls are here, bringing me much joy.”
Qin Haowu replied with a smile, “Mr. Oda Chihide, if you like it so much here, why not stay a few more days? I can then offer more hospitality.”
“Then I won’t be polite. Haowu-san, don’t laugh at me, but I rarely come to Yan Country, so I really want to enjoy myself for a while longer.”
As Oda Chihide said this, his gaze continually swept over the beautiful women on either side, the lascivious light in his eyes unmistakable.
Without changing his expression, Qin Haowu gave his assistant a look and said, “Chihide-san, how you want to have fun is not a problem. However, business matters take precedence.”
The assistant then took out the contract and laid it on the table.
“Haowu-san is correct, business matters are of utmost importance,” Oda Chihide took the contract, carefully went through it, and both he and his assistant scrutinized the two copies thoroughly.
Five minutes later, the assistant nodded. Finding no issues, Oda Chihide took out a pen, removed the cap, and was about to sign.
“Young Master, an ancient martial artist is approaching.”
Suddenly, a black-clad middle-aged man behind Oda Chihide moved closer and whispered.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This man was lean with a pale complexion, yet his eyes occasionally flashed with a sharp light.
Oda Chihide frowned as he stopped what he was doing.
Oda Tenshu, the black-clad middle-aged man, had been specially assigned to him as a bodyguard by the clan. As a ninja of the Jonin Realm, he was not to be underestimated.
The Island Country’s cultivation systems included not only ninjas, but also Onmyoji, Martial Monks, Swordsmen, Ronin, Samurai, and others. With different status came different expertise. Onmyoji were adept in magical arts, capable of astonishing feats. Ninjas were experts in stealth and assassination.
It could be said that a Chunin was equivalent to an ancient martial artist of the Qi Drawing Realm, while a Jonin stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Martial Arts Grandmasters, thus representing formidable adversaries.
For Oda Chihide to have a Jonin as a protective companion spoke to the incredible strength of the Oda clan.
Moreover, Oda Chihide knew that aside from this Jonin, there were also four Chunin ready to protect him from the shadows, dealing with peripheral incidents as needed.
“Ding-dong!”
Someone rang the doorbell of the private room outside.
